This LSL script turns ordinary public chat into something atmospheric.
Instead of logging conversations, showing names, or repeating full sentences, it listens quietly and extracts only meaningful word fragments. Those words reappear as floating hover text above an object—one at a time—fading in, holding briefly, then dissolving away.
What you get is not information.
You get presence.
The script creates the feeling that a space remembers what was said there, without exposing who said it or what the full message was. It’s subtle, abstract, and surprisingly powerful in social environments.
What This Script Does
Once dropped into an object, the script listens to nearby public chat. Every message is processed in real time:
All punctuation is stripped out
Everything is normalized to lowercase
Short filler words are ignored
Any word that matches the speaker’s name is discarded
Only clean, anonymous word fragments remain.
These words are stored in a rolling memory pool. When it’s time to display something, the script randomly selects one word from that recent pool and shows it as floating text. The word appears fully visible, stays on screen for a configurable amount of time, then fades out smoothly.
No two moments feel the same.
The text changes as people talk.
The environment reacts without demanding attention.
Why This Is Different
Most chat-based scripts fall into one of two categories:
Loud, spammy, attention-grabbing systems
Data-heavy trackers that feel invasive
This script avoids both.
It doesn’t store chat logs.
It doesn’t identify speakers.
It doesn’t interrupt anyone.
Instead, it acts like ambient light or background music—something you feel more than notice.
That makes it perfect for builders and venue owners who care about mood, flow, and atmosphere.
Ideal Use Cases
This script works best in spaces where people gather naturally and talk freely:
Clubs and lounges
Rooftop hangouts
Art galleries and installations
Poetry and writing venues
Chill zones and social hubs
Roleplay environments that value immersion
Place it in a visible but unobtrusive object, and let the space do the rest.
When chat is active, the object feels alive.
When chat slows, the object goes quiet.
Nothing is forced.
Customization & Control
Everything important is exposed at the top of the script, making it easy to tune without deep scripting knowledge.
You can adjust:
Fade speed (slow and dreamy or fast and sharp)
How long each word stays visible
How many recent words are remembered
Hover text color
This lets you match the script to different moods—soft and poetic, minimal and modern, or futuristic and neon.
Because the script uses hover text only, it has low visual overhead and works well even in busy regions.
Performance & Safety
The script is lightweight and efficient:
Uses a capped word memory pool
Avoids unnecessary timers when idle
Processes only public chat within normal range
It does not:
Save chat logs
Send messages externally
Track avatars or IDs
Reveal personal information
That makes it safe to use in public venues and roleplay spaces without privacy concerns.

This product is sold with full permissions.
That means you can:

You’re not locked into anything. This is a foundation script meant to be adapted.
Included User Guide
The script is straightforward, but a user guide is included to cover:
How to install and rez the object
What each configuration value does
Best placement practices
Recommended environments
Common tweaks and adjustments
Even non-scripters can get it running in minutes.
The Experience It Creates
What this script really offers is mood.
Words float by like passing thoughts.
Fragments of conversation linger briefly, then disappear.
The space feels inhabited—even when nobody is speaking at that exact moment.
It’s quiet.
It’s elegant.
It doesn’t shout for attention.
