Verbs
- STUDY: As you study the curiosity, you think you could probably poke, tap, clean, turn and push it.
- POKE: As you depress a hidden trigger on your botanical curiosity, bejeweled petals and wirework foliage immediately rearrange themselves into a tiny spear that jabs at the offending finger in retaliation before springing back into its innocently botanical shape.
- TAP: Responding to your attempt to tap it, a series of gears engages on your botanical curiosity, and one stem rapidly unfolds into a crude little hand. A spring propels it outward in an enthusiastic high-five aimed at absolutely nothing before the pieces retract.
- CLEAN: Tugging a particular wirework stem, you trigger your botanical curiosity's self-cleaning routine. Its blooms tuck safely away while the foliage spins violently, tiny polishing pads deploy, and the whole thing gives itself a vigorous mechanical shake afterward.
- PUSH: Pushing your botanical curiosity trips a succession of tiny switches, setting its internal assembly into rapid motion. The verdanite foliage shivers gently while each jeweled bloom sways as though in a light breeze, its faceted petals shimmering in the sunlight. The sustained mechanical preening strains the whirring gears until a thin puff of smoke escapes from somewhere within.
Atmospheric Messages
- A faint mechanical whine rises from your botanical curiosity as its stems slowly hunch inward around the central workings. A hidden catch suddenly releases, flinging the foliage wide in an enthusiastic burst of sharp metal leaves and glittering gemstone petals.
- A thin curl of smoke escapes your botanical curiosity as something inside produces an alarming grinding noise. The foliage droops incrementally until a concealed spring releases with a cheerful ping, restoring the whole arrangement with dramatic flourishes.
- The clockwork assembly on your botanical curiosity suddenly accelerates into a frenzy of whirring gears and snapping springs, sending blooms spinning and stems seesawing in every direction. A single loud click silences the entire apparatus mid-contortion.
- A disgruntled grinding erupts from somewhere inside your botanical curiosity, followed by several sharp clicks. Its verdanite foliage folds tightly across the jeweled blooms and remains stubbornly clamped there until a reluctant spring finally releases.
