* Removing things from play
|
|
(Person who laments broken objects--Fragile things, basic; Spring Cleaning)
|
|
A character who sulks over objects that the player has broken (and which are now off-stage).
|
|
|
|
Here we have a destruction action that allows the player to break any fragile items. Once destroyed, these things are removed from play, but we can still refer to them: they are now off-stage. This makes it easy for our sulking character to list the ones that have been destroyed:
|
|
|
|
{*}"Spring Cleaning"
|
|
|
|
A thing can be tough or fragile. A thing is usually tough.
|
|
|
|
Instead of attacking something fragile:
|
|
say "You smash [the noun] to smithereens!";
|
|
now the noun is nowhere.
|
|
|
|
A knick-knack is a kind of thing which is fragile.
|
|
|
|
Every turn when a knick-knack is off-stage and Granny Blue can see the player:
|
|
say "'Ohh,' whimpers Granny to herself softly. 'How I will miss [the list of off-stage knick-knacks]!'"
|
|
|
|
The Parlor is a room. Granny Blue is a woman in the Parlor. A china lamb, a porcelain milkmaid, a frolicking Dutch cow, and a crystal unicorn are knick-knacks in the Parlor.
|
|
|
|
Test me with "break lamb / break milkmaid / break cow / break unicorn".
