Klaive's Wedding Items.

My submitted wedding items:

Item 1 (Goes to Klaive)
Desc: a silver-spiked black vultite collar (Neck Worn)

Show: Forged from hard black vultite, the collar is latched tightly in the back and locked. Long, sharp, silver spikes are spaced evenly all around the collar while a small plaque has been welded to the front and reads, "Klaive - Beloved property of Vashtee and eternal slave to her love."

Item 3 (Goes to Klaive)
Desc: a pair of shadowy black vruul skin boots adorned with small ruby-eyed skulls along the outer ankles (Boot Worn)

Item 5 (Goes to Klaive)
Desc: a shadowy black leather kilt clasped at the front with a blackened steel ruby-eyed demon's skull (Pants Worn) (Pocketed)

Item 6 (Goes to Klaive)
Desc: a shadowy black spidersilk vest (Pin Worn)

Show: Woven from fine spidersilk the color of a moonless night, this vest is a prime example of expert tailoring. Along the edges, the vest has been trimmed in blood red spidersilk. On the right side, small platinum runes descend the trimming, precisely distanced from one to the next. While on the left, chaotic silver letters descend vertically down the trimming, spelling out the words, "Worship Me."
(Pin Worn)

Item 7 (Goes to Klaive)
Desc: some shadowy black vruul skin gloves edged with small ruby-eyed skulls along the outer cuffs (Glove Worn)

Item 12 (Goes to Klaive)
some enruned gleaming black vultite finger armor tipped with a razor-sharp diamond talon (Pin Worn)

Item 20 (Goes to Klaive)
a crystal-encased ruby heart armband (Arm Worn)

SHOW: Crafted of pure icy crystal, the armband wraps around to completely encompass the wearer's upper arm. A beautiful ruby heart has been inlaid into the crystal on the face of the armband, and the crystal that would be covering the heart has been sculpted to appear broken and shattered. An inscription upon the heart reads, "My Vashtee has freed my heart from its icy prison."


--------------------------------------

So what does everyone think? Be brutal, I'm very open to constructive suggestions.

I think they look nice cept for the Worship me part but even that probably fits Klaive pretty well.

Yeah, it's tacky, but then so is he. Hehe. So aside from that, everything looks good? Great!

[Who me]

The vest and boots are gaudy- but you know me, I like plain and simple.

Very nice Darien. :moon:

You're wearing gloves and finger armor?

It all has the I'm a sorcerer so I'm evil stereo-type.

You don't rate a kilt :cool:

The shows are pretty good though and I like the collar it fits you.

Well, technically, the gloves were extra. I had a spot I didn't know what to do with. Maybe I shoulda made a tongue ring. LoL. (I wish).

DUH! You got them for your wedding. Personally I think, new marriage.. new looking boots- not something of the same style. Hey, whatever tickles your pickle. :P

LOL! Vashtee eats pickles like crazy. They're her "pregnancy food". Pickles and tea. I just thought it was funny and ironic that you chose to say "tickles your pickle". LoL.

Okay, I just woke up, so I'm goofy. Disregard my insanity.

[Bobmuhthol]

You're pushing your luck. These are wedding items, not "You paid us $180 so now we're going to let you design 20 alters however you want." That screams ugly.

I've had a wedding before. The items don't hafta be wedding only. In fact, people are encouraged to make an ensemble that they can wear after the wedding too. It'd be a shame to waste 18 items on stuff you can only wear one day. Klaive's getting married on the beach in that outfit, his girl's gonna be in leather pants and a bodice. They'll be worn during the ceremony, and afterward as well.

It may be gawdy, it may be tasteless, but it is most certainly not pushing my luck.

[Bobmuhthol]

You want a spiked collar...

Yep, it's part of a set, she's getting a collar too. They are representative of our love and commitment, hence, appropriate.

[Bobmuhthol]

I want a sharp-edged, heavy-bladed, spiked claidhmore. I love my woman so I can have it. I'll sue Simutronics if they don't give it to me because it's a symbol of love.

No weapons. Just clothing.

[CrystalTears]

They won't do weapons and armor, so his little collar of love is a-ok by them.

[SpunGirl]

Klaive,

Good luck. The wedding staff can be hardasses about items, and I can only imagine what the comments are going to be about the demon skull fastening that kilt of yours.

I'd be interested to see what adjustments you're asked to make.

-K

[Betheny]

Im not sure I would put someone's name on -any- item I had altered, if only for the fact that people leave the game, people quit playing, relationships end... An item with a name on it has little or no resale value.

Some of my favorite things are Naessi's container with her name in the SHOW, and things I have gifted to people that are signed with her name. These are the sorts of things that can be passed on and kept in remembrance if/when she ever leaves.

The skull shouldn't be a problem, cause it's fake and crafted from steel. But there may be some changes needed.

Resale is nothing to me. I really couldn't use any more money. I'm not planning to buy anything THAT big... so the items to me are for pure RP.

[Betheny]

So if I hear your ass on the amulet trying to sell that ugly collar... I can tease the shit out of you?

Sweet!

[ElvenRangeress]

klaive they wont' do the stuff you posted with words on it, trust me i tried.

[Artha]

Words on clothing is retarded anyway.

[StrayRogue]

You have worse taste than Zimzum.

Originally posted by ElvenRangeress

They made me 7 items with words in the show last time. ::shrugs::

[StrayRogue]

You can have words in the show, not on the description.

[Betheny]

What Zimzum has.... would not be called 'taste', Stray my dear. But don't worry your pretty English head.

[StrayRogue]

And so, the final horse crosses the line. Must I reintroduce you to my good friend Sarcasm, my dear :D

[Betheny]

It couldn't have been Sarcasm. Sarcasm is on my side of the pond.

Can I call you Watson?!

[Trinitis]

Eh, I just want my damn loincloth for my barbarian..drives me nuts every time I see NPC's and other players wearing them..yet I can't get one..ugh.

-Adredrin

[Betheny]

Just go up to an alterer and say: Look. I either want a loincloth or a codpiece. Pick one, I don't care which one. Guaranteed they'll pick the loincloth. If it works...

[StrayRogue]

It sounds like you've said that before.

[Trinitis]

No no, cause a codpiece does not fit with what I want. I want either a loincloth, or a breechcloth (since they are the same damn thing..)

-Adredrin

I don't have any items with words in the long description. Only in shows.

[ElvenRangeress]

they won't do it in shows neither, and the worst thing to ask for is a saying that says you belong to someone, can't do any of that, the people who create wedding alters are most strict then most

[Trinitis]

Hmm..I just noticed that..Atheana..I wonder if your the same person I'm thinking of..

-Adredrin..pondering.

[ElvenRangeress]

who are you thinking of?

[Trinitis]

someone I knew in GS..I remember her name being close to Atheana..it could have been Atheana, but it was a long time ago..and in Icemule.

-Adredrin

[ElvenRangeress]

probably athhena, i've seen her before

[Trinitis]

nope, there was only 1 h..She was a healer in Icemule..friend. She was in the Air Force..lost track of her.

-Adredrin

[ElvenRangeress]

i wish you luck in finding her ;o)

[Trinitis]

meh, if it happens it happens..just the name striked a spark of rememberance.

-Adredrin

[ElvenRangeress]

you know what? you gave me an idea.. i'm going to make a thread about that .. one sec

[Trinitis]

Cripes..I'm sorry everyone :(

-Adredrin

[SpunGirl]

Klaive, my educated guess is that the issue with the skull will be that it's a demon skull. There are plenty of skulls floating around out there, and that's one thing, but a specific type of skull (especially that of a demon, what do they look like?) might be reaching a little.

-K

[Trinitis]

well duh, it would look like a demon skull..and you call yourself a sorceress..Psha

-Adredrin

[Weedmage Princess]

Lose the "Worship Me" thing on the vest. That's a little TOO much...even for you, Klaive.

[CrystalTears]

I don't think they'll do a "demon skull" since they won't make items with parts of creatures that you can't really kill in the lands, ergo why you can't have anything with dragon and unicorn parts in your item description or show.

Ahh, but that's just it. You can have a unicorn clasp, yes? So why not a steel demon's skull? It's not a real skull, it's metal work shaped like a skull.

[CrystalTears]

Ah, okay, as long as it's metal shaped into a skull, then that's different and very acceptable. My apologies, I misunderstood.

It's okay. I would've tried to get a real demon skull back in the day, but after going through one wedding already, I've come to understand that some things are quite simply "You're dreaming, pal."

I'll never forget my first request for an alteration...

"Yes, could you please take this vultite longsword and make it into 'a deathly black urglaes katana with the word 'GodSlayer' scribed along the blade in glowing blood-red script'? Thanks so much."

[ElanthianSiren]

Originally posted by Demon Lord Kage"Yes, could you please take this vultite longsword and make it into 'a deathly black urglaes katana with the word 'GodSlayer' scribed along the blade in glowing blood-red script'? Thanks so much."

::Hides the katana behind her back and grins evilly:: Whaaat Katana? It's for my depressive days. :P

On words: I found out really late that people move on from GS, but luckily, the alterations that I *DID* make with my PC had a coined phrase on them that went with all my characters. Yea, so I stole it from myself OOC, oh well :)

GMs in general I think are unwilling to put words on things because they run the risk of you coming back a month later with, "Fluffybutt left me, could you pleeeease pleeeeease pleeeeease make this say "'My heart, Forever --Stinkycheese' instead?!"

Generally, I've found if it's something that applies to your character, most will go with it.

I'm curious- what do Vashtee's items look like?

I'll ask her if she minds me posting them, if she says it's cool I'll put them up later today.

[SpunGirl]

Klaive, I'd be interested to see the comments you get, too.

Item 2 (Goes to Vashtee)
Desc: an elegant platinum collar (Neck Worn)

Show: Adorned with small dangling ruby hearts, this platinum collar is quite feminine, but still appears to be strong and functional as indicated by the lock on the back. A small plaque has been affixed to the collar and reads, "Vashtee - Beloved Property of Klaive and eternal slave to his love."

Item 4 (Goes to Vashtee)
Desc: a dainty platinum chain anklet adorned with several dangling miniature ruby hearts (Ankle Worn)

Item 10 (Goes to Vashtee)
a delicate platinum toe ring (Pin Worn)

SHOW: Expertly crafted from the finest platinum, the delicate toe ring has been painstakingly inlaid with several flawless ruby hearts which surround the outside of the band, glittering beautifully. Engraved in tiny script along the edge of the toe ring are the words, "These toes belong to Klaive."

Item 13 (Goes to Vashtee)
a strapless ruby-dusted black leather bodice tightly side-laced with shimmering spidersilk cords (Pin Worn)

Item 14 (Goes to Vashtee)
some low-waisted black leather pants clasped at the hip with two crossed silver daggers overlaid with a glittering ruby heart (Skirt Worn)

Item 15 (Goes to Vashtee)
a dagger-buttoned black leather jacket (Cloak Worn, Pocketed)

SHOW: Supple black leather has been expertly tailored into the form of this beautiful jacket. Designed for a streamlined and stylish fit, this garment has several pockets in plain view and doubtlessly several others, which are concealed. Miniature daggers with shiny silver hilts and glittering ruby blades have been sewn onto the jacket along the cuffs and collar, giving it a customized and fashionable appearance.

Item 16 (Goes to Vashtee)
a dazzling silver waistchain adorned with dangling miniature silver-hilted ruby daggers (Belt Worn)

Item 17 (Goes to Vashtee)
a shimmering platinum bracelet adorned with tiny ruby dagger charms pierced through glittering diamond hearts (Wrist Worn)

[StrayRogue]

I'm doubting those collars will be made. Simu has a thing on slavery... Just a warning.

[GS4Gurl]

Im having a GM wedding too. And they wont allow anything about slavery or property of on the collars. They'll do collars but not if its intended in a bad way.

All my wedding items have been approved by Andraste. We are just waiting for to set a date and talk to the coordinator.

I'm the bridesmaid!!! right?! :P

It's possible that you're right there, but we're hopeful because it's only a symbolic slavery and it's mutual. It is not a master/slave relationship. It's a marriage and no one is being forced or coerced. We are equals and both happy with the situation... mainly, if you were dating Mandy, it's like wearing a T-Shirt IRL that said, "Property of Mandy".

You aren't actually owned by Mandy, you're just being affectionate and cute. That's what the collars are supposed to be.

Also keep in mind that each wedding experience is unique. Some negotiators are more strict than others. Pretty much whatever they decide gets made, QC just spell checks and watches for Major Glaring Affronts to alternation policy.

This is why they're called guidelines. It's up to the negotiator to interperate them and decide on an individual basis what is acceptible and what is not.

In my last wedding, I had several questionable things made... an entire outfit with pentagrams, Sheru alters... we even designed items that contained our souls.

It was all allowed. I am hoping that the negotiator I get will be half as reasonable. I love Andraste to pieces, but she's among the strictest wedding negotiators. She's fair, but if you hafta ask or ponder, forget it. It's not getting made.

I love working with her on stuff, but I'd much rather have Kaylia as a negotiator, cause I'd get more items made.

[StrayRogue]

Well, collar's and slavery are often brought up on the official RP boards. The SIMU answer is that it doesn't support slavery or ownership, though some collars and items to that effect (like pretty much anything around here) have slipped through the net. However, like the Premium Alters, Wedding Alters are done under the strictest scrutiny to the Alteration rules. I'd get a back-up sorted.

If nothing else, we'd just change the inscription to something not indicative of slavery. ;)

[Hips]

You can only have two jewelry items, and they won't make anything strapless.

As far as having Kaylia (sp?) as your wedding negotiator... it doesn't matter, all items go through Andraste.

[Edited on 9-8-2003 by GS3 Michiko]

Yes, they all go through her. But like I said, she's fair. If the negotiator has approved them, Andraste probably won't have a fit because she wasn't the negotiator.

She does her job as best she can, and generally speaking, she's more strict when she's actually the negotiator because she's working one on one with the bride and groom.

My other items went through her too... but she wasn't my negotiator that time and I had been told by her, "If I was your negotiator, I wouldn't have approved these." But she wasn't, so they got made.

It's luck! Hehe. And you can always attempt to defend your item too.

[SpunGirl]

GsGurl is right, you can only have two jewelry/ceremonial items in addition to the rings. The rest is supposed to be clothing. Vashtee has way too much jewelry.

Also, you said you were getting married on the beach? Who wears black leather for a beach wedding, even if it is at night? Chafing, yeouch.

-K

[SpunGirl]

P.S. That came off a little overly critical, I didn't mean it that way. I actually find her items appealing (except for the toe inscription, haha). Just don't want to see you get dissapointed over the jewelry limit.

[DCSL]

All this is making me so jealous! I wish I could have a cathedral wedding for one of my girls! But alas, whenever a relationship looks really good for one of them, the guy goes off and disappears never to be even heard of again. Well... some just go off for two year military tours of strange countries with limited internet access.

And good male role-players who can type in a manner that doesn't irritate me are so few and far between! Well, the ones that aren't taken are scarce, anyway. And none of my girls are of the type to steal another's guy.

Good luck and congratulations on the wedding, Klaive. I like most of the items, although I gotta agree that the black leather on a beach thing would get uncomfortable... but hey, it's fantasy, and we can just pretend that she doesn't sweat.

I do agree with leather chafing though, that's why Michi got married in silk. Maybe it's a little over-used as far as fabrics for Cathedral weddings go, but eh... it looked nice. :)

[StrayRogue]

Heh, glossy back leather at weddings would be a welcome sight *heads back to the house of pain*

We're too hard core for frilly shit. We wanna get married and then head out to the killing fields for our honeymoon.

[SpunGirl]

Silk isn't bad, Michi, the most overused fabric in GS is SPIDERSILK. Gag me. I don't own a single spidersilk item.

Naessi got married, or tried to, in imperial satin (I wanted duchesse satin, which is a real fabric, but they used imperial because of duchesses or something).

Whirlin, being an Arachne follower (gag!) got married almost completely in spidersilk.

[longshot]

I don't own anything spidersilk either.

I'm sure you've seen the cloaks with the spiders that run in and out of the folds?

Who the hell would want to wear that?

-shudder-
Not me. The nasty part is that dead bugs accumulate inside them, which you end up having to take out.

[SpunGirl]

I totally agree! My girl is always asking people who wear those why they want to have spiders in their clothing.

Now, I think you could feasibly RP someone who really DOES enjoy that sort of thing, but they'd be few and far between, and not the prim fashion plates you see wearing those clothes just because they're a trendy item!

GS trends, LOL.
