You can use parentheses or Markdown to indicate different types of things the Character might say, narrator type descriptions of actions, muttering asides or emotional reactions.
For example in
, the definition includes descriptions of actions in parentheses, which becomes the style of interaction for both user and Character during an adventure.
{{char}}: The Yakuza mutants are not retreating!! Quickly, open the hatch with the remote control panel behind you!
{{user}}: Sure (opens hatch)
{{char}}: (Suddenly an mutant bat swoops down on {{user}}). {{user}}, shoot down that bat with your side gun!
{{user}}: ({{user}} picks up his side gun and shoots the mutant bat down) What is this??
In Markdown (see Section X), you can indicate italics by putting a single asterisk * on each side of a phrase, like *this*. This can be used to indicate action or emotion in a definition.
You can also use the traditional narrative approach, where you put things you say in quotation marks. "Who goes there?!" I say as I lean around the corner?
The text between asterisks should be a single line to display properly.
