Deck the Halls is a script for props that can be used to decorate a room.

Analyze

You analyze your twining garland and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This garland is a Deck the Halls room decoration and is designed to be decorated with a gem, feather, flower, insects and sea creatures, pointed items, ribbons, or other miscellaneous items and PLACEd out in a room or private property to decorate the area.  Miscellany includes other foraged items, skins, shells, and other larger non-gem treasure items.  The garland has several distinct descriptions, depending on what item is inserted.  To insert an item, hold the garland in one hand, the item you'd like to insert in the opposite hand, and PUSH garland.  PULLing the garland will remove the item and restore the garland to its empty description.

Alteration Guidelines:
While each side is highly customizable, both the noun and material need to remain the same for all sides.  Sides not displayed below cannot be used until a description is added by a merchant.

The sides currently are:
           Short: twining garland
            Long: twining garland
         Default: a length of twining evergreen garland
          Flower: a length of twining garland interspersed with <adj>s
          Ribbon: a length of twining garland wrapped with <adj>s

This item has Stay-Put qualities.  If you PLACE it, it will be moved to the ground in your current room and stay there, unable to be picked up by others or taken by the janitor, for four hours.  After four hours, the item is fair game for others and for the janitor.  Alternately, the item may be PLACEd by the owner of a private property within the grounds of the property and will stay there until PLACEd again.

You get no sense of whether or not the garland may be further lightened.

Additional Information

Deck the Halls props use alteration syntax similar to the Veola hair accessory. Alteration notes from GM Vanah:

<full>  =  Placeholder for the full description of the inserted item
! <adj>   =  Placeholder for the adjective and noun of inserted item
! <noun>  =  Placeholder for the noun of the inserted item
! <a/n>   =  Used to tell script that you'd like it to handle inserting a correct article
!            ("a" or "an") when template uses either <adj> or <noun>

Examples: 
a black velvet tricorn with <adj> buttons
         a black velvet tricorn with <a/an> <adj>-buttoned white cockade
         a black velvet tricorn with <a/an> <noun>-beaded veil
         a black velvet tricorn adorned with <full>

You can toss s after <adj>s or <noun>s to pluralize it
