To say atopdesc: say "Wind whips through your hair as you balance near the top of the tree, surrounded by branches splitting all around you until they become tiny twigs. The view of the island around you is tremendous, and above, the [if evening or sunset]yellows and pinks of the evening sky are vivid and stunning[otherwise if twilight]fading purples of the tropical sky make your fingers twitch for a brush[otherwise if dawn or sunrise]sky is scoured clean with the pastel colors of morning[otherwise]sun shines whitely down from a deep, blue sky[end if]. [exits][if night].[paragraph break]Above you, the [o]stars[x] shine bright and strong, twinkling only a little in the still night air[end if]".

Atop-stuff is stuff in Atop. Understand "twig/twigs/view/island" as Atop-stuff when location is Atop.

Instead of sleeping in Atop, say "Up here, you feel a bit too precarious for sleep, but perhaps down by the base of the tree you'd be able to drift off.[sleepsuggest]".

Report going down from Atop: say "Half reluctant and half grateful to reach ground again, you lower yourself down the trunk of the tree until you again stand on the knife-thin ridge.".
