Theories for adding extended flavor text:

When clicking (examining) an item, some flavor text can be shown. But, sometimes you want to show another paragraph or so, at the players convenience. Thus, take an approach so:

When an item is examined, it shows the standard info about it, with no flavor text. If the item has a field for extended information, a message is printed that indicates this. If the player examines the time again, without issuing any other commands in the meantime, the flavor text is printed, instead of the regular attribute-based description.

This can be extended further like so:

• First click: item attributes
• Second click: textual item description and flavor text
• Third click: lore, detailed description, or other extended flavor text.
