A lint bag is a scripted container that has multiple properties, including hiding the user when WAVEd. It gets its name from the piece of scripted lint it creates.

TURN You neatly secure your bag by twisting the top edge in one direction while simultaneously twirling the rest of the paper bag in the other. XXX twists the top edge of his paper bag, simultaneously spinning the rest of the bag in the opposite direction and securing the contents.
WAVE With great flair, you pull the bag over your head for a moment...


It seems you have died my friend...



You hear Lorminstra chuckling and she appears in a vision to you. Her placid face is twisted in laughter as she looks deep into your eyes and says, "Not this time, back you go!"


Immediately, the area is filled with a cloud of purple smoke. When it clears, you have slipped into hiding! What a great illusion!

Suddenly and with great flair XXX pulls his bag over his head!

Additional Information

Bag

The bag will consume any item inside when it is LOCKed and RUBbed. For every 20 or so items it consumes, it produces a piece of random lint (for example: a piece of smelly gold lint, a piece of soft grey lint, etc.)

The bag won't consume the lint it creates, so it can be used to hold the lint and mass produce it.

Lint

Show

The lint that is produced by the bag has a show that will change with the use of POKE. Example:

It could be a green tambourine...or possibly a bowl.

At some point the lint will cease to be manipulatable and will look like:

It could be anything, really.  At this point though, it mostly resembles a green blob of lint.
