Chapter One - "Mosaics"

Some olympic_bath_mosaics are scenery in Colossal Baths. They are ambiguously plural. The printed name is "mosaic". Understand "mosaic", "mosaics", "colorful", "stone", "picture", "pictures", "shimmer", "shimmering", "reflection", "ripple", "design", "designs", "portrait", and "portraits" as the olympic_bath_mosaics. Instead of doing anything other than examining with the olympic_bath_mosaics, say "They're at the bottom of the baths."

Global_rows_mosaics_mentioned is a number that varies. Global_rows_mosaics_mentioned is 0.

now the used entry is 1;

say "As you stare at the mosaic through the pool, the design seems to shimmer. Suddenly, it rearranges itself and snaps into focus: it's you, [activity entry]! Then it dissolves in a swirl of reflections and ripples.";

increase global_rows_mosaics_mentioned by 1;

end if;

end while;

stop the action.
