setshort -- short room-face for strangers
People who have not learned your name (introduce / greet) see a short face in the room list and on leave/arrive lines -- never your login name.
How you play
1. Fill appearance slots (chargen or appearance <slot> …) -- strangers
see every filled look cue, e.g. "an average athletic fair-skinned auburn-haired figure with brown eyes" (or "a tall …" when tall).
2. setshort <text> optional custom face (max 60 characters)
3. setshort clear back to the appearance-built short-desc
Bare setshort shows what strangers see right now.
Hood / mask / stolen faces still use their own veiled short-descs.
Full look text is setdesc -- this only changes the short room face.
