Can't Load Verbs

Code:
mob/proc
   Save()
        var/cname= ckey(name)
        Players.cd= "/[ckey]/[cname]"
        Players["name"]<< name
        Players["gender"]<< gender
        Players["icon"]<< icon
        Players["verbs"]<< verbs
        Players["location"]<< loc
        
    Load()
        Players.cd = "/[ckey]"
        var/list/characters = Players.dir
        var/list/menu = new() 
        menu += characters
        var/result = input("Which Character do you wish to load?", null, "Which Character?") in menu
        Players.cd = "/[ckey]/[result]"
        Players["name"] >> name
        Players["gender"]>> gender
        Players["icon"]>> icon
        Players["verbs"]>> verbs
        Players["location"]>> loc


Problem description: This is my save system obviously. Yes, very simple right now, but I will accomodate it with better features later. Anyway, when I load my character it loads everything except the verbs. Instead, I get a runtime error saying:

runtime error: Cannot write to atom.verbs.
proc name: Load (/mob/proc/Load)
usr: Teris (/mob/Player/Load_Character)
src: Teris (/mob/Player/Load_Character)
call stack:
Teris (/mob/Player/Load_Character): Load()
Teris (/mob/Player/Load_Character): Login()


Also, when a character is loaded, it doesn't change the location of the player. It just stays in the same spot. How do I fix this? And one final problem: I noticed that, occasionally, variables saved would pop up in the loading list. How do I fix all of this? If you have any recommendations for my system here to make it better, please let me know.

Not really sure about this, but as far as I know, lists are saved differently from other variables, so I am not too sure about it. Maybe if you were to go through Deadron's Character handling library, and see how he did it.

You can't understand deadron, I'll tell you! :P
Anyway
mob/var/list/V // Make a new list called V

mob/proc
  Load()
    blabla make new savefile etc etc
    F["V"]>>src.V
    for(var/i in src.V) src.verbs+=i
  Save()
    blablaba ...
    src.V=src.verbs
    F["V"]<<src.V

I'd rather save them as text paths to the verb and add them using text2path. Also, you don't need a permanent variable. Simply create a list in the proc.

And how would I do that?
