Shadowsilk...REVOKED!

[upperguy]

You quietly whisper to Chisma, "Will you do shadowsilk by chance?"

Chisma nods to you.

You quietly whisper to Chisma, "A dashing ebon shadowsilk longcloak clasped with a crimson padlock."

Chisma whispers, "To replace which design?"

You quietly whisper to Chisma, "The aubergine."

You beam happily at Chisma!

You quietly whisper to Chisma, "Do you think the padlock should have a metal in it."

Chisma whispers, "If you want it to, but it implies metal and isn't necessary."

Speaking to Chisma, Rolfard says, "I'm glad you didn't do the usual work, i wouldn't have thought to have that old fetish
turned into something beautiful."

You quietly whisper to Chisma, "I understand you are amazing at what you do so I'd accept any suggestions, also for dashing.."

You nod to Chisma.

You quietly whisper to Chisma, "That's what I thought but they disagreed so I figured I would ask."

You hum happily to yourself.

Chisma chuckles.

Turning it inside out, Chisma reverses a large hooded aubergine gossamer cloak with an iris clasp into a dashing ebon shadowsilk longcloak clasped with a crimson padlock!

Turning it inside out, Chisma reverses a dashing ebon shadowsilk longcloak clasped with a crimson padlock into a large hooded heliotrope gossamer cloak with a dahlia clasp!

Rolfard exclaims, "Ooo!"

Chisma whispers, "I have to change it to cloak."

You nod to Chisma.

Chisma offers you a large hooded heliotrope gossamer cloak with a dahlia clasp. Click ACCEPT to accept the offer or
DECLINE to decline it. The offer will expire in 30 seconds.

You accept Chisma's offer and are now holding a large hooded heliotrope gossamer cloak with a dahlia clasp.

You take a large hooded heliotrope gossamer cloak with a dahlia clasp and turn it inside out. Your reversible cloak now
becomes a dashing ebon shadowsilk cloak clasped with a crimson padlock!

You beam!

Speaking to Chisma, you say, "You're a goddess amongst men...well and women."

…..

…..

Chisma says, "Oh... oh no."

Chisma asks, "May I have that back?"

You point at yourself.

Chisma says, "Yes, you."

Chisma says, "Sneaky man."

You offer your gossamer cloak to Chisma, who has 30 seconds to accept the offer. Click CANCEL to prematurely cancel the
offer.

You shuffle your feet.

Psystahldar puts a square black silk shoulder-bag on his back.

(OOC) Chisma's player whispers, "I thought that said spidersilk. This is why i should have quit at two. Do you know the kind
of trouble I'll get into for shadow silk?"

Chisma has accepted your offer and is now holding a dashing ebon shadowsilk cloak clasped with a crimson padlock.

Speaking to you, Bonnie says, "It wasn't sexy enough."

Rolfard says, "Aye, its lacking something....sexy."

Ariisal agrees with Rolfard.

Doltan asks, "Is shadowsilk a real material?"

Turning it inside out, Chisma reverses a dashing ebon shadowsilk cloak clasped with a crimson padlock into a dashing ebon spidersilk cloak clasped with a crimson padlock!

Doltan gazes in wonder at his surroundings.

Chisma says, "No."

Speaking softly to Rolfard, Ariisal says, "Gossamer on a man is just nay as dashing."

You sigh.

Speaking in Elven, Rohese softly says, "Oh."

Ariisal smiles quietly to herself.

Rohese smiles.

Turning it inside out, Chisma reverses a dashing ebon spidersilk cloak clasped with a crimson padlock into a dashing ebon spidersilk cloak clasped with a crimson padlock!

Turning it inside out, Chisma reverses a dashing ebon spidersilk cloak clasped with a crimson padlock into a dashing ebon spidersilk cloak clasped with a crimson padlock!

Rolfard says, "Aw."

Psystahldar whispers, "Shot down in your prime....bummer."

You quietly whisper to Chisma, "I plead the fifth."

Speaking in Elven, Masyrn softly mumbles, "What a wrechedly misarble human."

You see Artisan Chisma.
She appears to be a Loenthra Elf.
She is average height and appears to be very young. She has silver-flecked violet eyes and fair skin. She has waist length,
wavy white hair worn in tightly coiled braids that are bound in place by verdant green and soft brown doeskin ribbons. She has a dainty face, a thin nose and sharply-curved pointed ears.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a black gossamer wrap-skirt fringed with delicate white ribbons in her right hand and a dashing ebon spidersilk cloak clasped with a crimson padlock in her left hand.
She is wearing a silver-edged soft violet anemone, a slimming plum-veined golden marbrinus kirtle edged in anemone embroidery over a plain chainsil shift with layered skirts, an eahnor and amethyst-disk hip-belt, a haon-slatted crushed velvet pouch, and a pair of slim gold slippers.

You feel the mind of Havothor touch yours, calling the memory of your location as you last saw it. You offer no resistance.

Chisma whispers, "Wow. Shame on you. And shame on me for not noticing it."

Turning it inside out, Chisma reverses a dashing ebon spidersilk cloak clasped with a crimson padlock into a large hooded heliotrope gossamer cloak with a dahlia clasp!

Turning it inside out, Chisma reverses a dashing ebon spidersilk cloak clasped with a crimson padlock into a dashing ebon spidersilk cloak clasped with a crimson padlock!

You quietly whisper to Chisma, "Whats the bad about shadowsilk? I saw it on a backpack."

Chisma stares off into space.

Rohese giggles to herself.

Rolfard laughs!

Ariisal leans on Rohese, giving her a companionable grin.

You quietly whisper to Chisma, "If you'd like to snag me later to fix it that's fine."

Chisma whispers, "It isn't a material found in Elanthia."

Speaking in Elven, Rohese softly says, "The shadowsilk is haunting you, Lady Chisma."

Rohese wrinkles her nose.

Rolfard says, "What shadowsilk, i thought it was gossamer."

Masyrn nods in agreement to Rohese.

You feel the mind of Daheus touch yours, calling the memory of your location as you last saw it. You offer no resistance.

Ariisal grins at Rolfard.

You quietly whisper to Chisma, "It surely did, you just manifested it!"

Rolfard helps himself to a handful of plump purple grapes.

Turning it inside out, Chisma reverses a dashing ebon spidersilk cloak clasped with a crimson padlock into a dashing ebon
spidersilk cloak clasped with a crimson padlock!

Turning it inside out, Chisma reverses a dashing ebon spidersilk cloak clasped with a crimson padlock into a large hooded heliotrope gossamer cloak with a dahlia clasp!

Chisma says, "There."

Rolfard giggles.

Chisma says, "Spider silk."

You shuffle your feet.

Chisma frowns at you.

Rohese smiles quietly to herself.

Rolfard takes a bite of his plump purple grapes.

You say, "I told you I plead the fifth."

Rohese surreptitiously glances at you.

Speaking to you, Psystahldar says, "Was sexier before."

You nod to Psystahldar.

Psystahldar winks at you.

Delarock begins chuckling at Psystahldar!

Chisma says, "Bite your tongue."

Rolfard says, "It wasn't shadow silk, it was shadowy silk."

Rolfard nods sagely.

Psystahldar grins at Chisma.

Chisma says, "I should have left at two, I'd never have made such a mistake like that otherwise."

You bite your lip.

Chisma offers you a black gossamer wrap-skirt fringed with delicate white ribbons. Click ACCEPT to accept the offer or
DECLINE to decline it. The offer will expire in 30 seconds.

Ariisal bites her lip.

Desire dusts Chisma off.

Chisma shakes her head at you and clucks her tongue.

Taebaek groans.

Speaking to you, Rolfard says, "Wrong hand."

Delarock snickers.

Rolfard winks and flashes a sly grin.

Speaking to Chisma, Desire says, "Poor thing.. you need some lunch and a rest."

Chisma has cancelled the offer.

Chisma offers Lovenex a black gossamer wrap-skirt fringed with delicate white ribbons.

You quietly whisper to Chisma, "Man I've got you frazzled, sorry about that."

Lovenex accepts Chisma's gossamer wrap-skirt.

Delarock touches one finger to his lips.

Lovenex softly says, "Thank you."

Chisma offers you a large hooded heliotrope gossamer cloak with a dahlia clasp. Click ACCEPT to accept the offer or
DECLINE to decline it. The offer will expire in 30 seconds.

Speaking to Chisma, Doltan says, "We really appreciate your patience."

You accept Chisma's offer and are now holding a large hooded heliotrope gossamer cloak with a dahlia clasp.

Delarock removes a featureless black steel mask from in his hooded black cloak.

Delarock carefully puts on a featureless black steel mask, concealing his face.

You take a large hooded heliotrope gossamer cloak with a dahlia clasp and turn it inside out. Your reversible cloak now
becomes a dashing ebon spidersilk cloak clasped with a crimson padlock!

Doltan smiles at Chisma.

Delarock reaches back to make sure his black steel mask is secured tightly.

Delarock points at his black steel mask.

Ariisal agrees with Doltan.

Doltan says, "Chisma is the best."

Speaking to Doltan, you exclaim, "He put me up to it!"

(OOC) Chisma's player whispers, "You have no idea the trouble I'd have been in with my SGMs.

Chisma asks, "Laylaa?"

Speaking to Chisma, Psystahldar says, "But it was a good looking cloak and ya never know you might be the one to weave
such a cloth."

Taebaek whispers, "Where those reversable cloaks from?"

Laylaa offers Chisma a coppery velvet pelisse lined in cream satin.

Speaking to Chisma, Rolfard asks, "What besides coin can we gift you with for all your wonderous work and time spent in
this, not quite the most beautiful elven town?"

(OOC) You quietly whisper to Chisma, "I didn't realize, I saw some people talking about it on PC and a backpack so I figured
it was just really rare."

Chisma glances at Psystahldar.

Delarock winces.

Doltan pokes Rolfard in the ribs.

Chisma accepts Laylaa's velvet pelisse.

Speaking to Chisma, Psystahldar says, "It was only a thought."

Rolfard steeples his fingers together, quietly observing his surroundings.

Doltan adopts an agreeable expression.

(OOC) You quietly whisper to Chisma, "Promise I wouldn't have done it if I had any idea it could have gotten you in trouble."

Rolfard grins.

Speaking softly to Psystahldar, Ariisal says, "And a good thought at that. That was a gorgeous material."

Psystahldar nods to Ariisal.

Rolfard says, "At least i've never seen such a material before."

Chisma says, "I'm sorry, I plead for a moment."

Chisma whispers, "That's okay. I understand, but it really, really isn't an allowed material. I know you weren't trying to be
sneaky and the fault is mine for not catching it."

You take a dashing ebon spidersilk cloak clasped with a crimson padlock and turn it inside out. Your reversible cloak now
becomes a large hooded heliotrope gossamer cloak with a dahlia clasp!

You quietly whisper to Chisma, "No harm no foul, but you're gonna want to snag me later....it's pretty messed up."

You take a large hooded heliotrope gossamer cloak with a dahlia clasp and turn it inside out. Your reversible cloak now becomes a dashing ebon spidersilk cloak clasped with a crimson padlock!

Chisma whispers, "I fixed it...."

You quietly whisper to Chisma, "I think the short or base I dunno, it's showing up as gossamer in my hand."

You carefully inspect your gossamer cloak.

You estimate that a dashing ebon spidersilk cloak clasped with a crimson padlock can store a very large amount with enough
space for any number of items.



Cliffs:
Got her to do shadowsilk
Stuck around to help Laylaa with her alter..
She realized....
now spidersilk:(

[Drew]

Shadowsilk is dumb to begin with, but if you really wanted it and got it done you should have fled the scene at least.

[audioserf]

She caught it, she had to fix it... no harm no foul really. That has to be frustrating for you though.

[Renaden]

After I get an illegal alter done, I bail! Don't give them time to fix their mistakes ;)

[Androidpk]

Seriously. Should have logged. :)

[upperguy]

Honestly I asked as a tease/joke I was like -holy shit- when she said yes...If I had bailed I can tell you with 100% certainty that I would have woken up stripped or been red flagged. Plus now I can tease her about it next time she is working;)

I encourage everyone to ask for some shadowsilk pants or something haha.

[Lord Orbstar]

I wonder how sexy a low cut pair of shadowsilk boxerbriefs with a deathstone studded waistband would feel. In real life.

[radamanthys]

I wonder how sexy a low cut pair of shadowsilk boxerbriefs with a deathstone studded waistband would feel. In real life.

Like fucking an Olsen Twin. On the moon.

[Zanagodly]

I remember a merchant in the landing one night, that did an altering service where all the people essentially created an item and she proceeded to give out the item to everyone who participated. I think one of the created items was a shadowsilk backpack of some kind...?

Yeah I believe that (or a similar story) is how shadowsilk got into the game at all.

[LMingrone]

My favorite is still whoever got that "fuzzy nut sack" at EG and ran...only to be caught by those stupid GMs.

I remember a merchant in the landing one night, that did an altering service where all the people essentially created an item and she proceeded to give out the item to everyone who participated. I think one of the created items was a shadowsilk backpack of some kind...?

That was Sukara. I want to say it was late 2000 or early 2001. They started off as (I think) veniom-threaded harnesses. Four or five people initially got to make a design and people were allowed to decide whether they wanted it or would wait out the next one, with no going back to an old one. I had to run so I picked one, but she eventually did custom designs for the few people that were still left. I still have what I picked, then I bought one of those shadowsilk ones (they were backsacks) later.

The computer they were on died so I don't have any logs, but if memory serves there were:

-a kit of some kind

-something involving bunnies and fur and I think blood

-a third that I don't remember

-a myklian scale battle-harness lined with soft fur and clasped with a faceted white soulstone (this, unfortunately, is the one I picked)

-a dark shadowsilk backsack fastened with a silver cord and clasped with a vaalin half moon (I'm 90% positive this is the shadowsilk item that was made that night, but there's also a few iridescent shadowsilk something or anothers, also a backsack I think, floating around that could be it)

[Bobmuhthol]

I think I was at that event and I ended up getting some sort of beltworn container with a show.

[m444w]

Sukara was the best merchant to have ever done any alteration work. She didn't care what she did with an alteration, as long as you were happy.

[Lord Orbstar]

She was great.

[Gsgeek]

She also was the merchant who would run the longest altering sessions I've ever seen in game, not to mention she would do them fairly often and mix up what she was offering and doing. Sometimes it was individual alters and sometimes group design alters. Dont remember which GM ran her, was it Tigermist? Anyway she did a lot.

[Stanley Burrell]

Sukara's GM had a few other merchants who did awesome anything-goes stuff. She was such a nice, laid-back grandma-type. I think a couple of folks hated on Kyalia. I never understood why.

That was it, and yes Sukara was the merchant. That was a good and amusing session.

[Augie]

My favorite is still whoever got that "fuzzy nut sack" at EG and ran...only to be caught by those stupid GMs.

:lolwave: That's awesome that people still remember that. It was Washee who had that done.

I remember at SimuCon '04, me and Washee and Boomsplat were talking about getting a nut sack in game. We got a belt worn sack that held a large amount and originally had it made into 'a large fuzzy sack'.

One of Illusion's merchants was doing 'Just One Thing' type alters, and we added 'nut' to it.

I'm trying to find the logs to see if I have a description of the show on it, because it was pretty damn funny.

[HouseofElves]

I totally miss Kyalia. She was so giving of herself. I really enjoyed the sessions where she would group people together and let them design something totally unique out of the containers in Sukara's wagon and then create like six of that same item. Really hope that gets picked up again by another GM.

[Warriorbird]

After my first time leaving DR a badass session of Snow Caves with Kyalia was what got me into GS. She was a nice lady.

[Skeeter]

Explain to me why it makes a difference if it says spidersilk or shadowsilk? They're both made up materials.

[yesicj]

Spidersilk isn't made up. It's not quite used in the quantities that the game uses it, but it's real. Shadowsilk, in addition to being completely made up, was originally from EQ.

[Methais]

You say, "I told you I plead the fifth."

[Amber]

Spidersilk isn't made up. It's not quite used in the quantities that the game uses it, but it's real. Shadowsilk, in addition to being completely made up, was originally from EQ.

Actually, there's only one known large piece of spidersilk fabric in existence. It took four years and over a million spiders to produce it. http://www.redicecreations.com/article.php?id=8646

Shadow silk, on the other hand, is pretty common, though usually called something else. The term shadow silk was coined in the 1800's to describe shot, or iridescent silk, where one color is woven into the weft and another color into the warp of a twill.

Sorry, I've got too much time on my hands today.

[yesicj]

Well color me misinformed about shadowsilk.
