Old Meridian59 players may know what I am talking about. I thought I'd suggest the very very cool idea back from 1997 here.
- Shrunken heads are found everywhere and nowhere. It is a pure accident if you find it in your pockets. Or is it fate? Or bad luck?
- They won't leave you. Never. You may put them into your vault, or house, or a water well to silence them. But they won't leave you.
- Dark magics keep them alive. And you wonder, how and why they returned into your backpack... once again! Should you chain them somewhere?
- They are talking to you. And to your friends. They do indeed tell funny things.
- Looks like they always know what's in other's people pockets. And they cry out!
- ...and they do babble.. they really do..
I remember some old phrases, just as an idea:
"Well, I never!"
"A voice from <player> babbles, <anotherplayer> is near, hee hee hee!"
"A shrunken head babbles, <player> said to me, '<recentChatText>'"
"Today's magic numbers are 61 and 7."
"Can you scratch my stitches?"
"Will you be my love slave?"
"When do we eat?"
"I'm gonna tell the Gods you said that."
"Would your mother approve?"
"You act so suave, but we know better, don't we?"
"I like spider eyes. Got some?"
"Yummy spider eyes!"
"I'm lonely. You know what they say... two shrunken heads are better than one!"
"Another shrunken head! Let's be friends!"
"Sure! You'll be my bestest friend!"
"A shrunken head babbles, I see <player> and he has <item>, hee hee hee!"
