Like instant messaging?
You have two options, you can have each client connect to the other directly, or through a server.

A server will do, want to point me in the right direction?

Well, you could write the server in torque, or like port stated, in Python. If you host a 24/7 blockland server, then doing it in torque is ideal. However, if not, python would be more suitable because you can run it on a remote server more easily. Thing is, I never bothered to learn python :P

What does hosting have to do with anything?
And I'd like to keep it all in one language thanks.

Well it would have to work like this:
Client sends message,
Message is received by server,
Server sends it to the recipient,
Recipient receives the message.
If you want it all in one language then you will have to do it in Torque, and for this to be ran you will need to have blockland running 24/7.
