If you do not use output(), the string you output via << will go to the default output element - which by this post, I assume you did not make any default ones.

And for the Osay, since only the # changes, you can do this for the switch() part: 
#define mm(X, L, H) min(max(X, L), H)
//  The above works like this: mm(#, lowest # possible, highest # possible). You'll see why soon.

var/dist = input("How far away are the people you would like to talk to?") as num|null   //  Asks for a # and null = cancel button.
if(!dist)   //  If someone entered 0 or pressed the cancel button
    return
oview(mm(dist, 5, 8))<<"[usr.name] says: [t]"

//  The above mm() makes it so the distance value is in the 5-8 range.
//  If it is dist = 3, it would be 5, dist = 10 -> 8, dist = 7 -> 7


//  If you wanted to send the text to a non-default output element, you would do:
X << output("Text", "Non-Default-Output-Element")
