Challenge: Write the longest possible emote about glancing at the floor.

[Halaster]

Based on Lotion's reply https://gdb.armageddon.org/index.php/topic,58294.msg1079890.html#msg1079890 I want to see who can write the most annoying long, descriptive emote about simply glancing at the floor.

whats the current character limit

[Halaster]

I don't recall offhand what it is in the game, but let's say 1000.

[zealus]

With a deep sigh, akin to one of the softest rustle of whira's sweet breath, the geometrical shaped, prime color-skinned dwarf turns his eyes, orbs of a deep hued blackness, who's only light is the one reflected by the very torches, set in the walls of the tavern, slowly downward. He keeps them there, for he is as unobtrusive as the smallest gimpka rat within the soft silence of a night-time desert. He does not, in any way shape or form, draw attention to himself as he does so, for he seems to be trying not to interrupt the going-ons of the message that the corpulent, silk-faced templar is conveying. His very attention, despite the downward cast of his obsidian, torch-glimmered eyes, seems to be ultimately upon the corpulent, silk-faced templar, as is only proper. He remains silent, trying to be unseen, as well as heard, as the speech continues. A soft, silken sigh escapes his sand-cracked lips, and his tongue, a slab of blackish flesh, flicks, softly, quietly, along them, punctuating his quiet stance.

[Hestia]

Just to compare - I formatted the above suggested emote to fit the 80-character-per-line of the game limit. Here it is - no changes, only formatted.

Here's mine:

The Circus Lady Hestia lifts her hand, running the slender, perfectly-manicured
fingers over her glabrous pate, exploring a pilomacritoma a scant thumbs-width
above the tip of her long, delicately-pointed left ear. In doing so, her head
reflexively tilts downward, perhaps only twenty degrees; just enough for her
brilliant emerald gaze to meet the parquet design of the pristinely polished
agafari floor. The slightest twitch of her lips reflect possible amusement; it
could just be gas, as her open mouth exhales an aroma redolent of raw ocotillo,
chalton liver, and some sort of bean.

I have an emote shortener script that replaces any 2nd and + line with [PK this one asap]

[Kestria]

Likely terrible but, here's an attempt!   For all with a pet peeve of over dramatic 'I'm pretty' long ass emotes.


The dark-skinned, amber-eyed woman turns her fiery near ember hued eyes
downward, but not in such a rushed way, in the manner of one that might be a
bid at being alluring, if it were being reversed from down to up, a slow,
deliberate lowering of those feathery lashed eyelids, descending to half-way,
almost sleepily. Her head slowly tilts to one side in the process, which
causes several locks of her thick wavy hair, to descend down upon her cheek in
a soft cascade of crimson, akin to crushed rubies, or perhaps even garnets, to
sway idly in the breeze that comes through the open doorway. As a coy smiles
lifts her delicate pink-hued lips to one side, she lets out the softest of
sighs, sending the wisps of that crimson hair to ripple in it in the dim
light, which gives it a look like fresh blood trickling lazily, suspended in
the air.  She pauses, as she keeps her gaze on the ground, waiting,
expectantly, for something to happen.

sdesc: the cylindrical, gemstoneish dwarf (35 characters)

Face practically glued down to the ground, @ looks down at %me feet which are
scuffing the floor beneath %me feet, %me eyes which are about as rough as %me
hands, swing on down in a pendulous fashion from ~me, ~me about as imperious as
he can get glancing down at the floor beneath ~me like the golden tower which
framed by the position of ~me. ~me is about as still as ~me can get, despite %me
downwards gaze, angled down towards %me feet; %me eyes bulge slightly to
something which is perhaps one of %me realizations, prompting some furrowing of
%me brow and creasing of %me lips, all of %me face contorted much like carved
stone, evident clearly in %me features from every angle at which ~me is visible,
%me mind evidently ponderous and elsewhere, despite %me position quite clearly
here, and %me yet downwards gaze around ~me, ~me is practically thick in it. %me
teeth take to grinding, much like the stone ~me seems to be composed of from a
distance, evidently exposing %me feelings around ~me.

[Ammut]

em Long, brown, and tinged in green puke bits, a spot on the floor cooks lazily as the light of Suk-Krath creeps across the floor near the door of this tavern.  Bugs fly about lazily, landing on occasion to feed upon the most recent addition.  Laying nearby is @, puke covering their mouth, neck, and sandcloth shirt.  A kankfly lands upon %me nose, but #me don't move.  Lazily the kankfly walks onto ^me eyeball, which rolls down to look at the floor upon whence #me puked.

emote grunts

[Lotion]

The current limit is 248 characters. Every instance of "~me", etc will count as three characters. If you have a long sdesc and target items with very long names you can get extra characters. The most efficient way to do this is probably to have a burned, glowing, etc. item with a two letter keyword.
