*I start teleporting around at random while simultaneously gazing into the future at the same time to see your next actions*

@ZAVAZggg

*Within your future sight you see yourself teleporting into a space only to be hit from behind by an intangible and corrosive force that blasts through your nanite defences.*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Hmm... Well, do you have a favorite weapon or something? Otherwise we can teach you basic fighting or how to fight using an energy type.

@The World

Yellow tomboy: Sure!
*Summons a polearm with a knife like blade and spins it, soon having it spin up my arm, over my back and into my other hand.*

Both: That's right~
What do you want to learn?
Jack: We can teach pretty much anything you're capable of learning~

@The World

Well, how about the fighing first?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

*There's a large open area with several walls that don't quite go from wall to wall in length scattered throughout, forming a sort of maze*
*Silence is broken with the sound of crashing and metal clanging together*
Shit! Damnit! Godfuck!
*I fall out from behind one of the walls and immediately move from my fallen position into a laying-sideways position*
Oh! A customer! Welcome~
*Jack appears from behind the same wall, standing next to me*
Jack: Welcome~

@The World

Yellow tomboy: Thanks!
I read about some training here?

*I shrug and move the nanites around the ball before teleporting away. Reappearing a few feet away from where I was, I begin to strike the air with my sword, but instead of passing through it harmlessly, it travels through several rifts in the dimension that open up near me before exiting through a series of rifts that open and close around you at high speeds*

I guess you forgot I can use this dimension as a weapon if I want.

@ZAVAZggg

*The nanites disolve before they can even touch the sphere, and I manipulate it into a sheild that defends against your attacks, long enough for me to dissappear with it again.*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

*I reinforce the shield by making the nanites self replicate at extremely fast rates before attempting to limit your pseudo-realities sphere of influence by rewriting this small part of the 3rd dimension in such a way, so it rejects and fights against it. Meanwhile, due to the aging law I placed earlier, the Tiberium crystals begin to grow within you, slowly converting parts of your body into more of it*

@ZAVAZggg

*The previously destabilized energy-matter manifestations dissappear, and my flames weaken to a black color, but you can sense that the concentrated energy matter I've ingested is barely affected. My body's own abnormal, though weakened, regenerative abilities fight against the crystals growth and slowly push them outwords. I look up with an annoyed expression and shout at you*
Alright, I'm done playing fair at this point!
*After launching myself up towards you, I dissappear and then a moment later reappear in a blind spot much closer to you, holding a heavily concentrated and infused ball of energy matter that's almost radiating its corrosive effect.*

It's difficult to set a hard and fast rule, since it's something that clicks over time. They typically wouldn't give more information that a neutral observer with remarkable perception would be able to pick up on. So rather than being an avenue for using third person, it's more of a system to describe the exchange of information. So something like *Feels happy* wouldn't really be valid since there's no information exchange, whereas *Smiles* would, because one of those transfers information between parties. Something like *Detects your emotions* *You detect that I feel happy* would also be valid for the same reason. Similarly, *My face appears contorted and strained* would be a better choice than *Looks... strange* since the former is a concrete information transfer whereas the latter is a function of interpretation ("what does strange look like to someone who has seen it all?") and adds a personalization in the form of ellipses that implies that a cognitive source is adding detail to reflect their opinions on the matter.

That's the idea behind the action symbol system, at least (and I hope it makes some degree of sense). There are edge cases (such as The Legend crushing the device that was observing his actions and generating the symbols to begin with, which cut the transmission, as seen in the exchange a few days ago), but that really just depends on how far you want to dive into what kinds of things are actually watching these exchanges.

@Meta

Got it, thanks.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

*I teleport myself and the crystals out of harms way before warping space and placing the crystals within your body. Jumping up slightly, I take flight into the air and create a swirling shield of dark gray nanites around myself which is programmed to consume any matter or energy launched at it before raising my hand and pointing at your throat, attempting to force the orb of energy you swallowed back out*

Tiberium. That's what those crystals are, in case you were wondering.

@ZAVAZggg

*Grimaces.*
Thanks for the info.
*The energy matter refuses your attempts to influence it moreso then before, as it seems to be heavily anchored to the pseudo-reality this time around.
I manage to get it down and disperse it within my body, leaving less room for the crystals, though they are still there for the moment.
Looking up, I launch a volley of corrosive flames at you, which actually harms the nanites and breaks them down to their periodic elements since it has no energy or mass, and is instead an effect. It doesn't breach the swarm though, just weakens it.*

Multiple long sentences with stylistic flair such as ellipses, adding human touches of uncertainty, and things like that. It's not end of the world or anything, just something I noticed.

@Meta

Alright.
Should I continue trying to keep them as concise as possible?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

*I smirk and create a law of reality that physically ages anything on this planet but myself over time before reaching out into another universe and taking strange green crystalline shards from it which materialize in mid air and float around me harmlessly, for the moment anyway*

@ZAVAZggg

*My body remains as it is, growing no older even though I'm obviously being affected by the time aging law you've created. Launches several orbs of corrosive flames at you and the crystals while I put some visible effort into manifesting a highly concentrated and compact orb of energy matter, which I proceed to swallow, though it looks like I'm having some difficulty doing it this time.*
