"Cat & Meringue" by Tom

The Ocean is a region.

The Boat is a room. "The amazing twin-hulled boat of awesome that is famous to all members of Cat & Meringue's fantastic club! For some reason this boat has a ladder going down."

The Boat is in The Ocean.

Downstairs is down from The Boat. "The downstairs of the boat that Cat ingeniously created out of thin air (or thin water). His magical speciality is being able to make anything out of nothing! There is another room to the east, maybe a swimming pool but with a boat in."
Downstairs is in The Ocean.

Meringue is a person.

Meringue is in The Boat.

To ignore cat:
	say "Meringue is absorbed in his pixelated game, even though he repeatedly insists that he doesn't like it one bit, let alone 8 of them!"

Instead of asking meringue about anything:
	ignore cat.

Instead of telling meringue about anything:
	ignore cat.

The description of the player is "You are Cat, one of the two leading characters in the awesome comic, Cat & Meringue!"

Instead of examining Meringue:
	say "Meringue, your partner in your intrepid adventure across the seven seas (and quite a few more than that)."
	
The Under is east from the downstairs.

Every turn when the player is in the Under:
	move the player to the boat;
	say "This looks slightly familiar...";
	
Instead of going north when the player is in the boat:
	say "Meringue glares at you and you shuffle back to your end of the boat.";
	
The diamonds are an object.
The indefinite article of the diamonds is "some".

The bucket is a container in the downstairs. The description of the bucket is "A bucket that you use when you get sick."
After examining the bucket for the first time:
	say "You feel queasy... *bleurgh* Whoa! Are those DIAMONDS?!";
	now the diamonds are in the bucket.
The description of the diamonds is "You stare at the diamonds and think 'These diamonds will make you richer than you could ever imagine! This is an absolutely brilliant find! The world is now your proverbial oyster!' You live happily ever after. The End."
After examining the diamonds, end the game in victory.
