Proposal: Stass
Summary: Imagine, for just a moment, a world in which you can interact with the contents of your ass.
The proposal: a new ability called "Stass", available in the ability menu. I propose the key combination "a-z". After pressing the key combination, you are greeted with the message:
"Hello, I am your ass, would you like to:
a) store your items in me or
b) pull your items out of me?"
Pressing either "a" or "b" would then start a 100 turn channel, at the end of which the player would be presented with "a" the item drop menu, "b" the pickup menu. The items dropped from the store command ("a") would be stored on a tile only available from this menu, and the items picked up ("b") from the same normally unavailable tile.
The 100 turn channel. Lore: "It takes a while to assume the proper position to access the contents of your ass.". This acts as a balance so it would take similar turn counts to stash, I mean to stass, as before, and it could be interrupted, so would only be a strategic command.
The clenched status. Speaking to your ass while on an uncleared level would not yield the usual menu, but rather a different message: "Hello, I am your ass, the presence of nearby enemies stresses me so much I cannot dilate myself enough for proper access to my contents, sorry!". Again, combined with the 100 turn channel, this would serve as a balancing point to insure only strategic access to the stass. The cleared level status to clear the clenched status could be something like having less then 5 enemies left on the current floor. This mechanic could be further enhanced to disallow access to the stass from hell/pan/abyss: "Hello, I am your ass, I am so spooked, let us find a safer location to carry on our business!".
Not only would this proposal solve all stashing issues forever in a clean way, but it would also allow us to speak to our asses.
