Emote and remote are both commands which must be acquired through completion of specific quests. These two commands allow a greater freedom of self expression than souls do.

Emote like say is seen by all in a room.

Remote is like the tell version of emote; It is private just between the sender and the recipient/s.

Getting Fancy

Multiple Remote/Tell

When you want to remote or tell to multiple people at once, you group their names with a comma and no space.

remote amaranth,pterrific sighs happily as she sips her tea with such lovely ladies.
You remote to Amaranth LeZatapathique and Pterrific pteh Pterrible: Emily von Schaf sighs happily as she sips her tea with such lovely ladies.

Moving your name away from the start

For both emote and remote, if you put the text $me$ into the text, instead of prepending your name all instances of $me$ will be replaced by your name.

emote Belle Starr nuzzle's $me$'s pockets looking for hay.
You emote: Belle Starr nuzzle's Emily von Schaf's pockets looking for hay. (Emily)

If you want this in an alias, however, you must escape the $s with \ (backslash),

alias emo-hnuz emote Belle Starr nuzzle's \$me\$'s pockets looking for hay.

N.B. Your name is appended in parentheses to confirm the source and avoid spoofing.

remote ama,pter Death walks in and points his finger first at Pterrific pteh Pterrible, then at $me$, and lastly at Amaranth LeZatapathique. 
You remote to Pterrific pteh Pterrible and Amaranth LeZatapathique: Death walks in and points his finger first at Pterrific pteh Pterrible, then at Emily von Schaf, and lastly at Amaranth LeZatapathique. (Emily)

Possessive Apostrophe

If you do not need to move your name from the front of the r/emote but wish to use the possesive form of your name you can use a space and apostrophe and the mud is smart enough to concatenate it correctly.

remote pterrific,amaranth 's horse is so mischievous.
You remote to Amaranth LeZatapathique and Pterrific pteh Pterrible: Emily von Schaf's horse is so mischievous.
emote 's hand goes up.
You emote: Emily von Schaf's hand goes up.
