Misao, I think I understand what you are talking about. On Threshold, people do that sort of thing with the standard emotes (grin + anything else, as long as you want), the free form emote command, and the premote command (an emote command that includes text before your character's name). You can have quotes, speech, whatever inside.

Most people break things up and do all their "says" via the say command, for two main reasons though:

1) Many people find it more readable to have things broken up rather than in very long text blocks.

2) By using the say command, the spoken stuff goes into someone's "say" buffer, so they can type "last say" and see the last 20 says they heard.
