Chapter 2 - Concealed Things

A thing can be covered or uncovered. A thing is usually uncovered. [These are for Snow White's internal organs]

This is the robed-reach rule:

if cutting something:

make no decision;

if cutting something with something:

make no decision;

if asking someone to try doing something:

make no decision;

if the action requires a touchable noun and the noun is covered:

if the actor is the player:

say "[The noun] [is-are] not kept on the surface." instead;

rule fails;

if the action requires a touchable second noun and the second noun is covered:

if the actor is the player:

say "[The second noun] [is-are] not kept on the surface." instead;

rule fails.

The robed-reach rule is listed before the basic accessibility rule in the action-processing rules.
