Section - Dinosaur bones

The petter-dinosaur-bones are plural-named scenery in MGR3d. The printed name of the petter-dinosaur-bones is "prehistoric bones". Understand "bones/bone/dinosaur/aquatic/beast/prehistoric/skeleton/plesiosaur/elasmosaurus/plaster/interior" as the petter-dinosaur-bones. The description of petter-dinosaur-bones is "The bones are black with yellow fungal growth, and swing unnervingly from their wires. [if petter-plaster is in MGR3]One of the bones shows its white plaster interior where you cut it off[otherwise]Probably made of painted plaster of Paris, they might once have formed the skeleton of some kind of elasmosaurus[end if]."

Instead of cutting the petter-dinosaur-bones when the player carries a petter-sharp petter-machete:

now the petter-plaster is in MGR3;

say "[one of]You carefully climb up to one of the bones, what actually looks like a number of huge vertebra molded together as one, and hit it with the machete. Spores billow up, dense enough to make you cough, and about half the bone comes off, bounces through the branches and [if the petter-statue is in MGR3]shatters on top of the parrot sculpture[otherwise]crashes to the ground[end if] below in a cloud of plaster.[paragraph break]You lose your footing and barely manage to grab hold of the other half of the bone, still swinging from its steel wire. Nearly blacking out with vertigo and fear, you make your way back to some reasonably safe branches further in[or]You cut off another piece of bone. It bounces through the branches and [if the petter-statue is in MGR3]shatters on top of the parrot sculpture[otherwise]crashes to the ground[end if] below in a cloud of plaster[or]You don't see any other bones you could reach in a reasonably safe way[stopping]."

Instead of vaguely petter-praying when the petter-dinosaur-bones are in location:

try petter-praying to the petter-dinosaur-bones.

Instead of pushing the petter-dinosaur-bones:

say "You give one of the bones a push, and it barely misses you on the rebound."

Instead of pulling the petter-dinosaur-bones:

say "You try pulling one of the bones, but there is not a lot of room for it to move here."

Instead of taking or taking off the petter-dinosaur-bones:

say "The bones are still firmly attached to their wires, and far too bulky to carry anyway."

The petter-dinosaur-wires are plural-named scenery in MGR3d. The printed name of the petter-dinosaur-wires is "metal wires". Understand "metal/wires/wire/string" as the petter-dinosaur-wires. The description of petter-dinosaur-wires is "The wires run through holes drilled through the bones. They seem to be attached to the greenhouse ceiling."

Instead of climbing or swinging the petter-dinosaur-wires:

say "Even trying to get onto one of those wires seems like a sure way to fall to your death. Also, there are some alarming cracks in the glass where the wires are attached to the ceiling."

Instead of climbing or swinging the petter-dinosaur-bones:

say "Even trying to get onto one of those bones seems like a sure way to fall to your death. Also, there are some disconcerting cracks in the glass where the wires are attached to the ceiling."

Understand "do a/-- trapeze number" as a mistake ("As a child, you always dreamed about running away with a circus. But this is not the time or place for practice.") when the location is MGR3d.

Instead of pushing petter-dinosaur-wires:

try pushing the petter-dinosaur-bones.

Instead of taking or taking off or pulling the petter-dinosaur-wires:

say "The wires are firmly attached."

Instead of cutting the petter-dinosaur-wires when the player carries a petter-sharp petter-machete:

now the petter-plaster is in MGR3;

say "[one of]You carefully make your way to one of the nearest wires and strike it with the machete. It takes several cuts until it snaps, and the bone it was attached to swings away, still attached to a wire at the other end.[paragraph break]You lose your balance and just barely make it back to some reasonably safe branches, sweating profusely[or]Against your better judgment, you climb out to the second wire and hack it off. The bone it was attached to bounces through the branches and [if the petter-statue is in MGR3]shatters on the parrot sculpture[otherwise]crashes to the ground[end if] below in a cloud of plaster[or]Again you climb out to a wire and cut it off. The bone it was supporting bounces through the branches and [if the petter-statue is in MGR3]shatters on the parrot sculpture[otherwise]crashes to the ground[end if] below in a cloud of plaster[or]You don't see any other wires you could reach in a reasonably safe way[stopping]."
