As is typical of most Midgaard commands, Shrug 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 "shrug box" will refer to the one in the room, not your inventory. You'd need to use "shrug 2.box" for the latter.

Shrug 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 Shrug does not use this modifier as a search specifier when looking for <thing>. Instead Shrug displays this modifier via the Game channel. Thus you can "shrug good-naturedly", "shrug sarcastically,", and so on. You can also "shrug 18373649" or "shrug toothpaste-like", so, please don't. It's up to you to get the syntax right.
