So I keep having this daydream, mostly because my friends are adorable and always blow me kisses when we meet "in person" in game, or they dance or play music or... you know, they're cute.

How awesome would it be if someone typed /kiss (with their cursor on someone, or a target lock or... you know, AT someone) and then the recipient was able to press X and make a reciprocating emote, like a swoon if they're married or a laugh or even returned the kiss?

That started me thinking about how, then, you could have new emotes, like /hug where, if it was synergised, you'd have two people hugging each other. Or hi-fiving. Or waving. Or toasting each other (a synergised /cheers emote would make my socks roll up and down...) Or threatening / cowering. Or... or... or...

And THAT started me thinking about dancing, because while it's relatively easy to /dancenord in sync, the other dances are really, really hard to synchronize (and what else are you going to do while waiting for that dolmen to respawn, amirite?). But imagine being able to run up to someone who is dancing, pressing X and then dancing actually with them!

And THAT then got me thinking about the music, because whenever 2 people start dancing, there's always some guy who starts playing the lute and then, BOOM it's the discordant flute and the out-of-time drum and everything gets annoying and the fun ends. So, instead, you'd press X on the guy's lute playing and you'd start accompanying him, instead. And then a third person would be all "Yeah! I'll X that!" and they start playing their drum along with you, and now you're in a band with a Bosmer and an Orc whose names you don't know but, GEE-GOLLY-GOSH you just KNOW you'll be famous enough to make it to Solitude* one day if you just don't stop believing..! Except the Orc's guild is fully expecting him to be a tank for the rest of his days but he's all "YOU DON'T KNOW ME! LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!" and then we - his loyal bandmates - start X-ing his lute all over the place and his guild are all "Oh, wow... we had no idea... follow your dream, Guy!" and he gets, like, all fulfilled and happy and all because someone by a dolmen somewhere pressed X on his lute one time...

Anyway. Sorry.

Synergised emotes. At the very least, it would seriously improve the musicality in the game. And make RPers in Vulkhel Guard far more interesting to be around. But, actually, I think it could also add a whole new level of fun and meaning to how players communicate.

Oooh! I just thought of another one! /boo! Then the syngery would be you jumping out with crazy hands and the recipient jumping!
