Holding your breath

[Frank_Stein]

So, initially I was going to make a post about how fast people die from a lack of air in a room, and how that should be lowered. That got me thinking of ways to handle that, and I thought of a solution that might be useful in other situations.

So, how about we revive the joke breathing emotes as serious things one can do to help get through some dangerous situations?

So the idea is you use an emote like *breath to take a deep breath, temporarily shutting off your need to breathe without taking any oxygen loss damage or anything. However, while holding your breath, your stamina decreases. Go to long holding your breath and you pass out, breathing normally again until your stamina builds back up and you wake up. Just type *breath again to stop holding your breath.

You could use this to get past rooms without oxygen when you don't have internals, avoid breathing in toxic gasses when you know they are there, avoid some chem smokes and airborne pathogens, use breathing exercises to calm yourself if you have something like paranoia or panic inducing traits, or throw temper tantrums and hold your breath until you get your way.
