Some generic surroundings are backdrop. It is everywhere. Understand "walls" or "wall" or "ceiling" or "ground" or "area" or "room" or "here" as the generic surroundings. Understand "floor" or "floorboard" or "floorboards" as the generic surroundings when the location is not floored. Before putting something on the generic surroundings: try dropping the noun instead. Instead of examining the generic surroundings: say "You take another look around."; try looking. Instead of touching the generic surroundings: say "You encounter nothing extraordinary." Instead of touching the generic surroundings when in darkness: say "You try feeling your way around, but the space you are in is too large to allow you to navigate by touch."
