creature "mannerisms" through [SOUND: #32

So I was thinking, there are behaviors of the Neopets I've wanted to capture, like say a Blumaroo bouncing, or a Moehog snorting. I'd forgotten mannerisms were hardcoded, and it seems "SOUND" is our solution.

Creature makes sounds periodically, which can be heard in Adventure mode.

First-person reads "You bark"
Third-person reads "The capybara barks"
Out of sight reads "You hear a loud bark"

with the text in bold being the description arguments of the token.

so now imagine the lines, "You bounce." and "The Blumaroo bounces" and, "You hear a loud BOING!" and then imagine you're near a whole herd of blumaroos and it's just "BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING", it would be annoying but fitting. Lets do it haha

Genesis has some really good examples related to exactly this it turns out! Thank you Deon! (and TomiTapio :p )
