Ann found us a darling typing override -- a pair of rabbit hand puppets that appear to be talking to each other when you type. Absolutely hilarious.

I roamed all over and did not find that! And the dang Lucky Chairs played with my head!

When you TP there, do not move anywhere, just turn until you are facing West. In front of you is a ladder and at the base is the sign to buy the hand puppets from -- they are L$0.

I turned off my typing anim when someone gave me a notecard how, without my asking them to, our talking about it, or my even knowing them really. I figured it was annoying to them so I went ahead and followed instructions and turned the anim off. I kinda miss it now, but mostly it's better without, because sometimes 'typing' doesn't seem to fit the occasion.

It's kinda funny in a big bad RP setting though, when all the scary creatures are standing in a circle and begin furiously...typing. Hee.

I don't like the typing animation.

I guess just as many folks don't ...

as do ...

but I find it helps to break my speech ...

with a short row of dots ...

when I have a good deal to say.

That way an attentive interlocutor ...

can follow my speech ...

clause by clause ...

without getting the impression ...

that I have stopped talking ...

or worse still ...

that I am ignoring them.

Most importantly, however ...

the chance is quite high ...

that he ...

or she ...

will not interrupt ...

what I have to say.
