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.

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.
