Carry & Wear An Animal?

How would I go about making an animal carry-able (like in Lost Pig) and also wearable (like clothing)?

If you enter RULES while you test in the IDE, you can see which rules apply to the current action. If you then try to TAKE an animal (for example a raven which we want the protagonist to have on his shoulder), you’ll see that the taking action is stopped when the “can’t take other people rule” is applied:

[Rule “can’t take other people rule” applies.]
I don’t suppose the raven would care for that.

One way to override this is to write:

The can't take other people rule does nothing when taking the raven.

For wearing, you can just declare the animal as wearable:

The raven is wearable.

Together, this results in:

>wear raven
(first taking the raven)
You put on the raven.

>i
You are carrying:
a raven (being worn)
