One thing that I have wondered for a while is about the use of narrative in RPs, especially ones which are biased or in first person. What I mean by narrative is usually the grey text that describes everything that somebody doesn't say, but are they saying it?

For example, take this:

e.g Someone RPing against me Said:The room was bland and boring, lacking any sort of creativity or imagination on the designers part. It was nearly as fucking boring as Tush. Then, mother walked into the room.

"Hey, mum."

"You were always a fucking disappointment."

"Aw."

Now as you can see, this guy has clearly slipped some trashtalk into the narrative/story, but is it really his/her trashtalk? Because I wouldn't want to fall into a trap of quoting this and replying to it in an RP to then get destroyed because of quoting something that isn't actually said, but merely a description. Is the roleplayer saying this?
