Gestures and Word Balloons. This avatar is smiling and waving. The history of word balloons at the top half of the region shows that this avatar spoke a "speak" and "thought" balloon while on the right side of the region, and then move to the left where she used an "exclaim" and "emote" balloon. Each avatar's balloons are of a certain color. The balloons, gestures, and facial expressions are set at the bottom of the window (and there were keyboard shortcuts as well). There is no text entry field in Microcosm. You just start typing and a pending word balloon appears over your avatars head. When you press Enter, it becomes visible to others and becomes part of the conversation scrolling in the upper part of the region. Avatars can send each other "telepathy," which can be seen only by the sender and recipient, not the others in the region, and which can be sent between avatar in different regions. Telepathy balloons are white so you can tell them from "out loud" balloons.
