Scripted urnon

[Roblar]

a small ball of urnon (among many)


The ball of urnon appears to be a perfectly round sphere of shifting hues, which might fit comfortably in the palm of one's hand. Faint oil-like patterns drift across its circumference, resembling subtle disturbances across the surface of some otherworldly lake.


It constantly changes into various shapes, unless you STARE at it to freeze it, or unfreeze (even changes while in a container). Each has its own LOOK and different actions for the 4 verb traps. So all 4 do something different each time basically.

You analyze your sphere of urnon and sense that the item cannot be altered in any way.

The creator has also provided the following information:

The urnon is simply too chaotic to be altered or to be used as an adornment in an alteration.

You can STARE at it to make it start or stop shifting. You can also RUB, TOUCH, TURN, and POKE it.

As a sphere:

You stare intently at your ball of urnon, concentrating hard to force your will upon it...

The urnon nearly stops shifting and seems to freeze in its current state, its movements far more sluggish as you dominate it with your mind.
Roundtime: 30 secs

You roll the ball of urnon around in your hands, causing tiny multi-hued ripples to race across the round globe.

You set the ball of urnon upon the tip of your finger which begins to spin around slowly as its surface ripples languidly.

You set the sphere of urnon on the tip of your finger and slowly turn it.
Suddenly the sphere of urnon begins to hover gently as it pulses a bright silver hue its surface rippling intensely for several moments like a storm-tossed sea. After a few moments, the sphere of urnon comes to a stop and drops back into your hand.

You poke your finger into the sphere of urnon and it feels as if you've been plunged into ice-cold water as your finger reaches the core of the urnon. The sphere of urnon ripples violently, then expels your finger as it turns black as a starless night!


As a pyramid:

a tiny piece of pyramid-shaped urnon

The pyramid-shaped urnon is a sharply-angled peak, its spire a perfect culmination of all four sides. Motes of bright hues drift upward from its base to impart a constantly shifting glow upon the tiny peak of the triangular object.

You run your hands over the sharply peaked surface of the pyramid-shaped urnon, pyramid-shaped urnon, causing tiny ripples to roll down from its spire and eddy around its base.

You press the tip of your finger into the sharp peak of the pyramid-shaped urnon, and it conforms perfectly to your finger as if liquid. When you remove it, the pyramid-shaped urnon ripples and reforms the spire perfectly once again.

You try to turn the pyramid-shaped urnon to little avail, until it reforms upside-down in your palm and begins to slowly rotate, each of its flawlessly smooth sides swimming with color until it shifts and reforms right side up again.

You attempt to poke at the spire of the pyramid-shaped urnon, but it simply curls nimbly to avoid you finger, its surface pulsing rapidly with bright colors.



Some ambients:

Your orb of urnon pulsates noticably, a slight vibration causing your hand to shake. Small ripples drift within it, and it expands in size. Shadows race across its surface like gusts of wind, and the soft *thump*-*thump* of a beating heart echoes from its depths. Abruptly, the orb of urnon shrinks down and returns to normalcy.

The base of your triangular urnon suddenly glows a vibrant rainbow hue, the color flowing thinly up the edges toward the spire, where it explodes in a dazzling array of light and color! The entire surface of the triangular urnon pulsates and shimmers with the fantastic bright glow, then slowly fades back to normalcy.


Some changes:

Your ball of urnon breaks its form and swirls into a small orb, which hovers gently above your palm. Abruptly, a sharp point extends from the sphere and the opposite end forms a crude handle. The tiny sword then falls into your hand gently.

You glance down to see a tiny piece of sword-shaped urnon in your right hand and nothing in your left hand.

Your sword-shaped urnon suddenly is covered by many hair-thin cracks, and breaks into tiny fragments which collect into your hand. They start to melt right before your eyes, and rise up slowly to form a column shape.

You glance down to see a tiny piece of column-shaped urnon in your right hand and nothing in your left hand.

Apparently it sometimes is naughty (and also might be good for stunman training for failed stares are long stuns).

The coil of urnon in your hand wobbles around slightly, its form becoming unstable. It collapses into a small puddle, and a tiny blunt appendage reaches forth from it toward your finger, a seam splitting it through the middle. Abruptly the seam opens to reveal a gaping maw of razor-sharp teeth which sink into your flesh!
A suit of black rolaren plate armor partially deflects the onslaught of the puncture attack.
... 15 points of damage!
Shot to the hand slices a finger to the bone!

It recoils quickly and forms into a small orb.

do they allow this to be used for alter fodder? Or do they get grumpy if you try to use urnon in alters

[Roblar]

Nope says in the analyze not for fodder.


Here is another one,

a tiny piece of humanoid-shaped urnon

The humanoid-shaped urnon looks like a simplistic carving of a humanoid figure, though it looks completely bare of any sharp angles. Two swirling motes shift constantly between the spectrum of colors where eyes might be, and the sway and move every few moments, at times being far too natural in their urnon's tiny limbs fluidity than one would expect.

You rub the miniature shoulders of the humanoid-shaped urnon, and it waves a tiny arm around for a few moments, then becomes still again.

You prod the chest of the humanoid-shaped urnon, and it wraps its miniature arms around your finger briefly, then releases it.

You try to turn your humanoid-shaped urnon around, but it simply runs away from your fingers and emits a high-pitched metallic scraping sound.

You poke the humanoid-shaped urnon right in its tiny chest, and its tiny multi-hued eyes look as if they're blinking, and it then pokes the offending finger right back with one of its liquid-like arms.


Bastard bit three times

[sfmatthias0]

ah, sorry you're right, need to read better.

[Tolwynn]

I'll take this if it's still available.

[Stumplicker]

I just stopped by to say that I glanced at the title of this thread and thought it said scripted unicorn and now I am disappointed in everyone involved in this. For shame.

[Nothing]

This is a great toy even by today's standards... I had one for years before deciding to let it move on to someone else and it was always fun to play with. Just be careful with it, a couple of the forms can occasionally cause minor hand injuries when holding it.

[Crime]

Fun toy!
