Other characters can perform all the same activities that the player can; this does not always mean that they're willing to obey the player's instructions. By default, characters will refuse to obey commands of the form ``JULIA, WEST`` or ``ANTONY, TAKE THE PINCUSHION``. Their objections can be overridden, however, and [The Hypnotist of Blois] implements a hypnotist who can make characters obedient at will.

In [For Demonstration Purposes], the character is only capable of a few actions at the outset, but can be taught new ones if the player performs them first.

So far, all actions have been carried out by the player: which is fine for exploring the passive world of an empty warehouse, but less good for a drama in which other characters have to be contended with. In fact, an action can be carried out by anybody – by any instance of the `person` kind, that is, which includes all the men, women and animals in the story, and not only the player.
