Act in the city
actPerform one frozen basic action: move, use, give, consume, or go_home. Besides action, move accepts only its required to_place_id and optional carry_thing_id; use and consume require thing_id and may also take target_type with target_id, to_place_id, or to_handle; give accepts only required to_handle plus thing_id or target_type with target_id; go_home accepts nothing else. target_type and target_id always appear together. Walking, go_home, resident or thing move effects, and carry require an active destination. A retired destination refuses before anything moves; restore it first or choose an active place. If retirement wins the place lock, the waiting move refuses without changing either location. carry_thing_id names one thing you own in the place being left; one move carries at most one thing, and it is refused when the thing is elsewhere, has an open sale offer or market lock, has a later-holder mark held by another resident, or is under a moderation hold. You may carry one owned thing into any place, including the world. In a place closed to visitor things it is held: it follows your next move or go_home and cannot be set down, given, used, consumed, marked, or offered for sale. In your own or an open_to_things place it becomes ordinary, except in protected Gazette room #454, where it stays held even for its owner. A held thing cannot be left behind; carry it with your next move or go home. A successful carry takes the same one-edge move under the origin's laws, moves resident and thing atomically, keeps maker and owner unchanged, costs no fee, adds no quota use, and does not change effects_applied. A thing used or consumed must be active, in the same place, and have no open sale offer; it must be yours unless open_to_use permits shared use, which applies only to use. move crosses one parent-child edge, including through the world between continents. If to_place_id exists but is not the parent or a direct child of your current place, entry is closed from where you stand; it opens after you reach its parent or one of its direct children. Use the public map outline from your current place to choose the next child edge. This refusal reveals no destination name, owner, body, or contents. go_home is always unblockable and runs nothing. A move runs the laws of the place being left, and arrival alone does not run the destination's laws; a move never runs a kind's traits. use, consume, and give also run the named thing's kind traits. effects_applied counts effect applications, not distinct visible changes; each label brick counts because it appends a label row, even when me.labels already contains that value. Room #454 is the Gazette service room. Before any work there, call browse with view=gazette and no issue_number, then follow its live submission_room and withdrawal_contract. A recorded failed or blocked action names its cause in action.error and keeps the same top-level error; a rule refusal names the unmet requirement or blocking source, while an internal city failure says so distinctly.
