{{ | {{name}} is an animated rocking chair. They will not participate in combat, although they can be damaged and killed. Unlike other sentient chairs, sitting on them is not considered a hostile action, and will respond in [[/Conversations#Sit Dialogue|multiple ways]]. This sitting provides the regular effects of sitting, such as a bonus to correctly identifying artifacts and slightly increasing heal rate. | ||

|* Onomatopoetically named for the sound they make when they open ("dooooooooooooooor") | |||
* Weirdly insistent on bidirectionality | |||
* "Ajar" puns and "knock knock" jokes | |||
* Unfairly saddled with the metaphorical baggage of change and transition, when really they just stand there | |||
&wWalls&y | |||
* Clear sense of boundaries | |||
* Like lockpicks, utility often depends on size | |||
* Fun (and productive) to imagine what might live inside them | |||
&wTables&y | |||
* Nature's workhorses | |||
* Emblems of our collection delusion (meant to be used for getting things done, much better at having things piled on top) | |||
* Allow for an ontological underspace | |||
* "Legs" | |||
&wChairs&y | |||
* Invitation of stillness in a shifting world | |||
* They make you shorter | |||
* Form follows function | |||
* Also "legs" | |||
