I'm looking to sell the items Michi won on the Promise.
a bright red crushed velvet pouch: The shine of satin banding contrasts against the crumpled folds of rich, red velvet and encases a braided red and gold drawstring. The satin band is quilted with gold embroidered squares, which contain satin-stitched hearts alternating with roses.
a lover's knot (x2): The knot is an intricately made heart seemingly woven from silver wire. Two silken cords of fine gold thread are inextricably woven together and threaded through the latticework of the heart. The two cords dangle limply from the heart, alone and separate.
According to the auctioneer, they are a type of cross-realms transporter. You wear them and turn them to attune them, and kiss them to bring the other person to you. The auctioneer said that they have 26 charges and "possibly more," so it is possible they are rechargeable, but I wouldn't count on it. I talked to Kyrril on the WD and he said it wasn't the sort of thing he could work on.
When I had a bard sing to them, this is what he got:
"A silver glow of magic emanates from the knot, leaving a warm feeling on your fingertips. While the magic seems to involve distance and motion, it is difficult to unravel the exact nature."
"The sounds of two heartbeats fill your mind. They begin to synchronize in rhythm, growing closer and closer together until finally, they beat as one. A tingling warmth spreads from your hands until it covers your entire body, as if you'd just caught sight of your one true love."
"As you sing, you find a melody and lyrics coming unbidden to your lips. With some surprise, you begin to sing it aloud...."
(From someone else's point of view)
Looking surprised, XXXXXX begins to sing a sweet melody....
"Song of my heart, my soul's melody,
How can I hold you, so far from me?
Too long, too fast, much too far away,
Only your love can my pain allay."
"Send you a kiss, and my heart takes flight,
Our bond will help keep you in my sight.
Too tight the hold and love slips away,
Too little trust and our bond will fray."
"Turn about your heart, turn about mine,
The knots of our love shall intertwine.
Once pledged, devotion stays ever true.
Your promise to me, my promise to you."
They haven't been used.
The current bid is 10 million to an anonymous bidder. I'll set a (ridiculous!) buyout of 50m.
You can contact Michiko in-game or e-mail/IM sweetlittleagony@aol.com with questions or bids.
