[not a bug] Cup of Water, when dropped, can't be picked up

Repro Steps:
- Enter Bureaucratic Hall and approach water cooler
- Get 1 Cup of Water from the water cooler
- Do not drink it.  Instead, drop it on the ground.  If there is no drop verb, continue picking up Cups of Water until you fill your inventory and the excess are automatically dropped.
- Attempt to pick up a dropped Cup

Expected Behavior
Like any item, the Cup of Water should have a Pick Up verb, prompting you for quantity in the case of picking up a stack.

Actual Behavior
Cups of Water actually have no verbs whatsoever to interact with them while on the ground.

  • I'm pretty sure you can pick them up outside of the Bureaucratic Hall, but inside, you can't. Same for me, but I'm not sure it's a bug.

  • This is by design. The empty, just spilled cups disappear in a few minutes. (You cannot pick them up outside the BH either, Cupcake.)

    (Bureaucratic Hall water tastes... bureaucratic-y. :)

  • Okay, just checking.  I'd noticed that someone had dumped a ton of 'em on the floor of one of the Bureaucratic Hall instances.  When interacting with the dropped cups, unlike all other items I'd seen thus far, they had no interaction verbs while laying on the ground.  Suspected a bug.

    I didn't realize the watercooler was anything more than a background object prior to that.  Nice touch, even if the water from it is less-than-useless.  I mean, there's "tasteless" and then there's bureaucratic water, which is so lacking in anything approaching taste that, paradoxically, it is inherently offensive to tastebuds.

    At any rate, thanks for clearing that up, Kevbob.

  • Well, think about it!!!! How many cups of water have you ever dropped, and how many have you ever picked up? Especially in a bureaucratic hall! Don't you think you are asking for a little bit too much here??? Ummmm, more like a miracle? As they say, you can't squeeze water out of a stone, and you can't pick you spilled water (something like that).GOHEMI
