USE:

  1. Use form one to squirm indiscriminately, for instance at the situation in general.
  2. Use form two when there's no possible ambiguity. In the example, there's only one statue present.
  3. Use form three when there are many instances of <thing> present, and you want to squirm at one of them in particular.
  4. Use forms four through eight to add a modifier, typically an intensifying adverb, to the verb.
  5. Use forms four through eight to add a modifier, typically an intensifying adverb, to the verb.

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

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