Imaginary Friend sometimes makes you deaf.

[veterath]

Description

When using imaginary friend, after a random amount of time (OR distance moved since you started the verb, hard to tell), you will not hear people speaking (runechat, TTS, and chatbox will indicate nothing being said from a person), but you still hear other audio sources such as weather, gunshots, etc.

NOTE: This has been an issue as far as I remember (AKA my first day as mentor but I don't remember how long ago, lets just say a year or so, probably more)
