curious Purpose: appear curious, about an individual, thing, or the world in general Synonyms: none SYNTAX EXAMPLES 1. curious 1. curious 2. curious <thing> 2. curious statue 3. curious <n>.<thing> 3. curious 2.statue 4. curious <modifier> 4. curious wildly 5. curious <thing> <modifier> 5. curious statue wildly 6. curious <modifier> <thing> 6. curious wildly statue 7. curious <modifier> <n>.<thing> 7. curious wildly 2.statue 8. curious <n>.<thing> <modifier> 8. curious 2.statue wildly USE: Use form one to express indiscriminate curiosity, for instance, about everything in a room. Use form two when there's no possible ambiguity. In the example, there's only one statue present. Use form three when there are many instances of <thing> present, and you want to appear curious about one of them in particular. Use forms four through eight to add a modifier, typically an intensifying adverb, to the verb. Use forms four through eight to add a modifier, typically an intensifying adverb, to the verb. Use forms four through eight to add a modifier, typically an intensifying adverb, to the verb. Use forms four through eight to add a modifier, typically an intensifying adverb, to the verb. Use forms four through eight to add a modifier, typically an intensifying adverb, to the verb. As is typical of most TriadCity commands, Curious searches for <thing> in a specific order, starting with the room you're in, then your worn or wielded equipment, then your inventory. So, if there's a box in the room, and a box in your inventory, the command "curious box" will refer to the one in the room, not your inventory. You'd need to use "curious 2.box" for the latter. Curious can be modified with an arbitrary word of your choice. Usually you'll use an intensifying adverb as shown in the examples above. Note that Curious does not use this modifier as a search specifier when looking for <thing>. Instead Curious displays this modifier via the Game channel. Thus you can "curious mildly", "curious mightily", and so on. You can also "curious 18373649" or "curious toothpaste-like", so, please don't. It's up to you to get the syntax right.     Complete command reference: Accept ACL Actuate AFK Alias Amazed Applaud Apprentice Armcross ArtistSpiff Ask Astonished Astounded Auction Backstab Baffled Balance Bandage Barf Bash Bashful Beckon Beg Belch Beseech Bid Birdflip Bite Blink Blubber Blush BodyPierce Bored Bounce Bow BSpiff Bug BuilderSpiff Bump Burp Bye C Cackle CartographerSpiff Chat Checkin Checkout Cheer Chop Chortle Chuckle Claw Close Club CodeWarriorSpiff ComedianSpiff Compose Con Concerned Confused Congrat Congrats Consider Conversions Cough Crawl Cry CSpiff Curious Curtsey Cut CWSpiff D Dance Date Deposit Description DiagnoseIllness Disarm Disbelieve Disgusted Donate Down Drag DrawIllness DrawIntoxication DrawMagicCircle DrawParalysis Drink Drool Drop E East Eat Ec Echo Elbow Embarrassed Embrace Empty Energize EnergyDrain EnergySteal Entreat Eq Equipment Ex Exits Eyeroll Facebook Fart FB Fill Flee Flirt Flourish Follow Followers Fondle FootTap Frown Frustrated Fume Gasp Gaze Genuflect Get Giggle Give Glance Glare Glower Go Grab Grat Grats Gratuity Grimace Grin Groan Group Grovel Growl Guffaw H HandClap Harm Heal Heave Heir Help Hiccup HiddenEnergyDrain HiddenEnergySteal HiddenHarm Hide Highfive Hit Hold Holler Howl Hug Hurl I Ignore Implore Inv Inventory Junk Kills Kiss Kneel Knife Knock L Laugh Lay Leader Lean Learn List Listen Lock Lockpick Logoff Logout LOL Look Mail Manicure Map MCircle MeatPuppet Med Meditate Message Mock Move N Nod North Nudge Nuzzle O OOC Open P Page Pant Pat Peek Pick Pierce PlayRoulette PlaySlot Point Ponder Pound Pour Practice Press Problem Prostrate Puke Push Put Quake Quit RClean Read Recycle Remove RemoveParalysis Rent Report ReporterSpiff Rescue Rest Return Revive Reward RitualClean Roles Roll S Sacrifice Say Scowl Scream Seethe Sell Shackle Shiver Shoot Shout Shove Shrug Shudder Sigh Sing Sit Skills Slash Sleep Smell Smile Snarl Sneak Sneer Sneeze Snicker Snort Sob South Spear Spew Spit Spock Squirm Stab Stand Stare Steal Sting Stretch Stroke Survey Tag Taste Tattoos Taunt Teach TelevisionWriterSpiff Tell Think Thrash Time Tired Title Touch Track Transfer Trash Tremble Trip TVWSpiff U Ungroup Unlock Up Uptime Value W Wake Wanted Wave Wear Weekday Weep West Whack Whimper Whip Whisper Who Wield Wiggle Will Wince Wink Withdraw Workout Worldstats Wriggle Write Yawn Yell Yelp ?

That is, postmodernist fiction deploys strategies which engage and foreground questions like ... "Which world is this? What is to be done in it? Which of my selves is to do it?" Other typical postmodernist questions bear either on the ontology of the literary text itself or on the ontology of the world which it projects, for instance: What is a world?; What kinds of worlds are there, how are they constituted, and how do they differ?; What happens when different kinds of worlds are placed in confrontation, or when boundaries between worlds are violated?; What is the mode of existence of a text, and what is the mode of existence of the world (or worlds) it projects?; How is a projected world structured? And so on." --Brian McHale, Postmodernist Fiction (info)
