Corridor is north of Elevator Access. "The corridor continues north and south. [If closet door is open]An open door in the east wall reveals a closet.[otherwise]In the east wall is a closed door." A white sheen is here. The sheen is either pristine, puddled, or mopped. The sheen is a fixed in place supporter. "A sheen of white covers the floor of the corridor northward for many feet[if mopped]. A clear path leads through the center of it[end if]." The description is "A white glazing covers the floor from wall to wall heading northward[if pristine]. Some sort of tracking or trapping material; the Sultan is notorious for that sort of thing. Fortunately you came prepared[otherwise if puddled]; it is reacting slightly to the liquid[otherwise]. There is a clear path through the center of it[end if]." The printed name is "sheen of white". Instead of jumping over the sheen, say "It's too far to jump." Instead of going north from Corridor: if the sheen is not mopped, say "You'd better not step through that stuff. You're not positive what would happen, but it couldn't be good."; otherwise continue the action. A closet door is east of Corridor and west of Maintenance Closet. It is an open scenery door. Instead of pouxing something in Corridor, try pouring the noun on the white sheen. Instead of pouring the tube on the white sheen: if the test tube contains something begin; say "You pour [the list of things in the noun] on [the white sheen]."; if thimbleful is in test tube begin; puddleify location; if tiny puddle is reactive begin; now sheen is puddled; otherwise; say "[line break]The liquid seems to have no effect on the white glazing.[line break]"; end if; remove tiny puddle from play; end if; if crystal is in test tube begin; move crystal to location; end if; otherwise; say "There's nothing in the test tube."; end if. gone north from the corridor is a number that varies. gone north from the corridor is 0. After going north from Corridor: change gone north from the corridor to 1; continue the action. |
