    I would like to create an inky script for a conversationalist with text that makes it looks like another conversationalist is injecting a comment. Allow me to explain by example...

    Let's say I have a conversationalist named Bob. There is another conversationalist named Jim nearby. I would like to have a conversation that looks like this:
    Bob: I really like this fall weather...
    Jim: It's too cold for my tastes...
    Bob: You are always cold!

    I can try to write it like this:
    ==INTERJECTION
    I really like this fall weather...
    Jim: It's too cold for my tastes...
    You are always cold.
    ->MOVEON

    But it comes out looking like this, with each line starting with "Bob:"
    Bob: I really like this fall weather...
    Bob: Jim: It's too cold for my tastes...
    Bob: You are always cold.

    Is it possible to make it look like the other NPC is talking? Or suppress the part that says that Bob is talking? I have not found anything in the forums.

    Thanks!
