As with most TriadCity commands, you can Knock on people as well as things.
Which doesn't mean they'll enjoy it.
Note that if you Knock on a door or other
Exit,
the
Room
on the far side (if there is one) will also be informed.
The impact on any characters inside that destination Room will be the same as if someone were
Knocking in their Room too.
