giveAction¶

Object · giveAction: Action · Source

GIVE X TO Y, and SHOW X TO Y. A library with actors and no way to hand one of them anything is a library that has not met a game: the author game's whole ending is Becky giving Zoé the tape. The default is a refusal, because what an actor does with a thing is the game's business and not vhyl's — but the action exists, so a Doer can catch it and a topic can answer it.
