      • changed in thingbody and thingsceneTwo
    • better dance steps
    • nb - check the randomness in dancestate- If I obey I seem to always get all the same random choices
    • nb - I think I see why the rock's on the low part of the plain jump up in air
      •  - check the rock class and see what figures are fed to them at start of morph?
    • Maybe the rocks have to whisper - we're going to get  you ?? - how to indicate they're antagonistic - maybe some rearing up and snapping behavior? 
    • pleasure stick alternative for the really reluctant?
