LOOK
Type Roleplaying, System
System Inventory

LOOK is the most basic of commands. Almost everything can be the target of this verb, particularly locations, objects, creatures, and characters. Use this command to garner information about every piece of Elanthia.

Some mechanics disable the use of the LOOK verb. For instance, when LOOK is attempted during a warrior's Berserk, All you can see is red.

Usage

By Itself

LOOK by itself displays the current room description, ie. what it looks like, and what and who is there, as well as obvious directional paths (outside) or exits (inside). Wrayth users may also see the real room number if they have that flag turned on.

>look

Built nearly on top of one another, there is barely a crack between the buildings here.  Only the colorful awnings and decorative trim differentiate one from another.  Outside one shop, a set of silver wind chimes hangs and issues an eerie melody as the breeze passes through them.  You also see a quirky river spirit that is flying around, a large rhimar-lined wagon and an old barrel.
Obvious paths: north, east, south, west

Character

LOOK {character} displays the description of the person, their profession or title (if they enabled it using the TITLE verb), what they're carrying, what they're wearing, and any wounds or scars they may possess.

Messaging Example
l myrinai
You see Myrinai.
She appears to be a Half-Elf of the Vanadre Chiras.
She is very short and has a svelte figure.  She appears to be very young.  She has large, heterochromic pale umber and dark azure eyes and deep melanic skin.  She has very long, algae red hair shaved along the right side, with the rest deeply parted to the left and woven into thin plaits interspersed with bits of broken shells.  Sharply arched eyebrows lend a severe appearance to her otherwise soft and rounded visage.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a lagoon blue silk saephua, a small cobalt blue belt pouch, a vibrantly painted silk wrap skirt in varying shades of blues and greens, and some lapis and silver footflowers.

Creature

LOOK {creature} displays what a creature is carrying, what they're wearing, a picture of the creature if there is one, and any wounds or scars they may possess.

Messaging Example
>l spirit
Small air bubbles are interspersed in the watery form of the river spirit, and faint particles of natural debris create swirling tendrils as the inner currents of the water sweep them about.  Intermittently generated whirlpools appear and disappear within the liquid.  Though the body of the spirit has definite substance and shape, it retains a constant hint of wispiness, ready to dissolve at any moment.

You see a fairly typical river spirit.
It appears to be in good shape.
It has nothing at this time.

Object

LOOKing at objects displays information pertaining to where you looked or what you looked at. Additionally, you can view if an object has inventory attached to it by typing one of the following options: LOOK {at|on|in|inside|into|under|behind|beneath {object}}.

Sorted View

A container's inventory can be viewed in two ways, dependent on whether the SORTEDVIEW FLAG is active.

Messaging Examples
  • Sorted View Off
>l in vest
In the vestment you see an uncut diamond, some aloeas stem, a tiny modwir owl anklet and a twilight blue suede staff harness.
  • Sorted View On
>l in ves
In the vestment:
Containers [1]: a twilight blue suede staff harness clasped with a scarlet owl
Wands [1]: a tiny modwir owl anklet
Gems [1]: an uncut diamond
Herbs [1]: some aloeas stem
Total items: 4

Sky

When outside, LOOK {up|star|constellation|sky} displays the night sky and any adverse weather condition (rain, snow, blood rain). This may vary as constellations change through the seasons.

Messaging Example
>l sky
You gaze up into the sky and see stars sparkling in the darkness...

Faintly visible against the brilliant canvas of other bright celestial lights, the image of a crystal ball is formed by eight glimmering stars.  The brightness of the stars is overshadowed by the darkness of the night sky, and they appear to be fading away into the mysterious depths of the unknown.

Moon

One can view the moons in the sky by LOOKing {Liabo|Lornon|Tilaok|Makiri}. LOOK MOON will indicate that a specific moon must be targeted.

Messaging Examples
  • LOOK MOON
>l moon
Which moon, Liabo, Lornon, Tilaok, or Makiri?
  • LOOK TILAOK
>l tilaok
You gaze up into the heavens scanning for the moon Tilaok...
Tilaok isn't anywhere to be seen right now.
