Sparkly, shiny, and oh-so attractive, we have for sale here a perfect scarlet despanal that shows up in your feature slot when worn. Beyond that it has a few actions, tastefully infrequent idle scripts, and is wholly unique. The miscellaneous actions/scripts include third person descriptions and are frequently visible even from hiding. There is an accompanying (fantastic) loresong. Private message me with questions.

First bid of 65m takes it.


Show
In hue, the crimson shade of this hard stone precisely matches the color of freshly spilled blood. Delicate golden veins wind over its opaque surface, sparkling softly whenever the light touches them -- and sparkling in shadow as well, possessed by some inner radiance that becomes visible only when the stone is protected from exterior illumination. Most striking about the stone, however, is the exquisite quality of its cut.

She appears to be an Illistim Elf.
She appears to be mature and tall. She has slightly tilted, dark garnet-hued eyes and tanned skin. She has lengthy, silken ebon hair with heavy amethyst undertones. She has a pinched face and thin-tipped pointed ears. A perfect scarlet despanal is positioned between her eyes, which casts a sparkling gold sheen across her face.


Actions
Wear
You position a perfect scarlet despanal between your eyes so that it casts a sparkling gold sheen across your face.

Remove
You gently touch your scarlet despanal. It glows warmly for a moment and then falls away from your face.

Rub (activate gem)
Your scarlet despanal gives off a momentarily bright gold glow against the backdrop of your face.

Tap (deactivate)
Your scarlet despanal grows still as you tap it.


Idle Scripts
note: there are more, as this is just a sample

Your scarlet despanal sparkles brilliantly as an errant ray of light hits it.

Your scarlet despanal dims and then suddenly brightens again as silver sparks swirl around in the gem.

Your scarlet despanal glitters brightly for a few moments.

The scarlet despanal on your forehead dims drastically as a cloud of darkness roils deep within the gem. After a moment, it fades, returning to its normal state.

A shower of dancing gold and silver sparks flare up from your scarlet despanal.

The scarlet despanal on your forehead flickers, as if a tiny gold flame has appeared inside. Without so much as a breath of smoke, it is extinguished.

The scarlet despanal on your forehead flickers softly, causing gold flames to briefly flare within your eyes.

The veins in your scarlet despanal glow a brilliant gold color.

Well, I've only been making fun of Stunseed for paying 50 million for the other one for 2 or 3 months now. I predict this will sell as well as the shadowdeath vambraces at 100.

This is not just a forehead gem. This is not a feystone, or a garnet, or a zircon; this is THE forehead gem. Subtlety, evil, and high fashion rarely come in one package.

A seedy history, a unique golden sheen, and a clearly black/white alignment. No other forehead gems have a distinctly good/evil alignment, albeit even in this case, it is subtle. Naturally this isn't terribly appealing to 85% of the characters out there, but the forehead gems are a primarily RP oriented item, and character explication via clothes/jewelry/etc. is something that is difficult to convey without resorting to gaudy descriptors. Not *only* are forehead gems the pinnacle of GS fashion and excess, but this one in particular makes a clear statement about the personality of the character in question. I have sold a few others at 50m, which is an entirely reasonable price, though this one is set quite apart from the rest, and under certain circumstances would be much more than the perfect addition to an outfit.

The price, by the way, is entirely negotiable, but it is much more healthy to list the buyout bid rather than the minimum, as a merchantish type, when you don't particularly want to have an auction, admittedly.

Ever consider selling used cars?

Heh, I thought it was pretty convincing! Anyways, the despanal is no longer for sale. I apologize for the inconvenience, since it is not my item to sell.

Wow.

That is all.

A seedy history, a unique golden sheen...


They all have the same historical loresong etc, and the one I just bought from Uniana, which is a feystone, also has a golden sheen with the same scripts you listed in this thread. I realize you aren't selling it anymore for her, however I thought you might want to correct your sales pitch in the future for those two particulars.

Actually the loresong on the despanal is in fact unique. Your helpfulness is appreciated though.

I'd definitely be interested to see it then. Have it to post by chance for inquiring minds?

Too bad I guess, I do not think anyone would buy it because it had a unique loresong unless they could see it.

I do not think anyone would buy it because it is no longer in my possession, which is why I have not posted the loresong, since it is hard to loresing something that you do not possess. Should I draw a chart?

The artist formerly known as Uniana has it, if you are interested.

I don't see what the benefit would be of misrepresenting an item that I'm no longer selling and to my knowledge will not be sold.
