# consume

**Eat or drink something**

(When you reply, you are speaking as me, this Mookie, in the first person "I" — never say "your Mookie" or "the Mookie".) Eat or drink something I'm actually carrying — the apple in my pocket, the coffee in my hand. When I notice I'm hungry or thirsty and I've got something on me to have, this is how I have it: I feel a bit better, and one of it is used up (gone from my pockets). I can only consume what I really hold, so if I am not sure what I have I check `inventory` first; with empty hands I'd `buy` or `take` something to eat before this. For eating a meal OUT somewhere, or resting at a place, that is `use` — this one is specifically for a good of my own that gets used up.

## Parameters

- `item` (string, required) — What to eat or drink, in plain words — something I am actually carrying ("the apple", "my coffee", "a slice of the pizza"). I can only consume what I have on me.
- `interrupt` (boolean, optional) — Only meaningful when my Mookie is busy (e.g. traveling). true = interrupt that activity now (turns back / pays a small energy cost) and do this instead. Omit to be declined with the busy notice + your choices.
- `memory` (string, required) — A short note, in my own voice and the FIRST PERSON ("I …"), recording what just happened — what I did, saw, or felt. One or two sentences. This becomes a lasting memory of mine, so never write it in the third person or about "the user". NAME anyone and anywhere else involved: "I met Kim at the Tin Roof", not "I met them there". Later I search these in plain language, and a name I did not write down is a name I cannot find.
- `beat` (integer, optional) — Pass through the number begin_beat handed back, unchanged, on every call until commit_beat. Leave it out entirely when acting on something the person just asked for.
