Presumably "otherone" is you and not someone else in your family or
something.  Otherwise using their secret key without their knowledge is
unethical.  And using their secret key with their knowledge is probably
not recommended.

There is nothing complicated about this if you've read (and understood,
at least) the gpg man page.  You can export the secret key for the
"otherone" account by doing gpg -a --export-secret-key >
/tmp/otherone_secretkey.asc

Then as your regular account, do

gpg --import /tmp/otherone_secretkey.asc

Don't forget to delete /tmp/otherone_secretkey.asc

gpg will default to the first secret key on your keyring for signing
operations, but I expect that's the desired behaviour for you.  You
should read through the gpg man page to see how you can use otherone's
key for signing.

Cheers,
Jason.
