What Are You Wearing?

A-huntin' we will go...

You see Lady Lysistrata Scio Nalfein.
She appears to be an Elf.
She is average height and appears to be an adult. She has slanting, mismatched grey and black eyes and intensely pale skin. She has long, glass-smooth deep scarlet hair drawn back with a heavily white pearl-beaded black velvet ribbon that cuts smoothly across her brow before twining through her hair in an ornate braid. She has a refined collection of quintessentially Elven features, from the sharply defined cheekbones and patrician nose to the delicate outline of her jaw.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing an obsidian burning rose collar-pin, a high-necked stiff black leather vest fastened up the front with tiny silver hooks over a pristine white cambric shirt with over-the-hand lace cuffs, a coraesine ring-of-flames solitude band, some narrow pinstriped black wool breeches, and a pair of hip-high cuffless slick black leather boots.

I feel like her outfit is incomplete without a riding crop in her hands.

Hunting gear:

You see Teveriel Anduin Vaalor the Avenger of Voln.
He appears to be an Elf.
He is tall and appears to be mature. He has dark-rimmed steel grey eyes and fair skin. He has shoulder length, straight silver blonde hair swept back from the temples. He has an angular face and broad shoulders.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing an old villswood greatshield slung over his shoulder, a somber black hooded longcloak, a carved pale ivory locket, a full suit of brightly polished steel platemail, a crossed double leather swordbelt, an antiquated black lacquered scabbard, a small black leather kit, a black velvet drawstring gem pouch, some black wool pants, and a pair of cuffed jet leather knee-boots.

Actually, the only two altered items there are the longcloak (climate gear) and the scripted scabbard - but yeah. This is what Teveriel wears when he's gone undead-slaying. By the way, is there an Alteration Advice thread? Because I couldn't find one, and if there isn't, there sure as hell should be.

People usually make individual threads for specific projects they want advice on. Saves it from becoming like the appraisal thread that never ends but no one responds to.

You see Corvane.
He appears to be an Illistim Elf.
He is alpine in stature and appears to be young. He has almond-shaped solid black eyes and smooth and pale skin. He has long, raven black hair. He has sharply-curved pointed ears.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a crescent-bladed aurulent golvern katana in his right hand and a vermilion adamantine alloy katana with a crescent-shaped blade in his left hand.
He is wearing a black star pendant suspended from a thin adamantine chain, a quicksilver-filled infinity symbol, a black mail hooded cloak, an ember-tinged shadowy viscous armor, a pair of gold-trimmed ebon mesh gloves inset with sharpened blazestar claws, a muted green watered silk sash, a dark canvas satchel, some natural cotton trousers, and some battleworn black golvern-toed heavy leather boots with thick soles.

Sonic armor: The glowing black mist undulates about his form, pulsating shades of crimson and grey similar to magma within a volcanic core. Shards of clustered motes pierce along the surface, casting random shadows amongst the darkness.

Major props to Corlyne for helping me come up with a design on very short notice :)

You look at yourself carefully in the pearl-studded mirror...

You see Bartender Thondalar the Merchant.
He appears to be a Loenthra Elf.
He is taller than average and appears to have come of age. He has dark-lashed celestial blue eyes and lightly tanned skin. He has shoulder length, flowing chestnut hair. He has a broad chest.
He has a musical note tattoo on his finger, a Merchant Guild tattoo on his neck, and a grey sickle tattoo on his neck.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a grey sea pearl-studded mirror crafted from white mithglin in his right hand.
He is wearing an elegantly slanted hat adorned with a tapered albatross feather, a vaalin-framed glass jeweler's loupe, a gaudy purple silk and velvet overcoat studded with precious gems, a gem studded silk vest, a gem-studded purple silk coat with a large embroidered hood, a gaudy gem-studded purple silk bag, a large purple silk sack tied with gold cord, some voluminous purple silk pantaloons, and some gold-toed black leather boots lined with purple silk.

The pearl-studded mirror says, "Thondalar, an excellent choice in attire, if I may say so."

You may, mirror...you may.


-Thond

*looks back at the last four posts in the thread* Somebody sound the alarm. We've got an invasion on our hands!

A mirror isn't enough, so I'll go through this...

You see Keeper Kaldonis Harvest-Moon the Witch Doctor.
He appears to be a Halfling.
He is diminutive and appears to be decrepit with age. He has hazy mismatched violet and green eyes and waxy sallow skin. He has ankle-length, knotted silvery white hair with a large bald spot. He has an emaciated face and large feet.
He has a tattooed rendition of a large-pupiled eye on his forehead, a series of numbers boldly inked on the back of his neck, and a tattooed Faendryl pentagram on his wrist.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a flame-etched ebonwood staff capped with a rusty doorknob in his right hand.
He is wearing a sunshine yellow wide-brimmed wicker hat with woven golden daffodils and sunflowers cascading down the sides, a sickly faewood mask grossly contorted into a scream, a pulsating blue sunstone earring, a starched white ritual robe covered with a thick layer of black soot, an oversized silk cloak with muddy footprints stamped about the hem, a moonflower amulet covered with a blue crystal carapace, a golden brown acorn amulet, a harvest moon charm, a deep crimson silk sash, a gore-covered troll-leg backsheath, a hoary green tourmaline band, a braided leather rope belt with an ink-black ribbon woven into the braids, a snap-top small metal case, an inky black pouch intricately woven with verlok feathers and clasped with a polished runestone button, and some mismatched black and grey socks sporting a large hole in one toe.

What does any of that look like? Or maybe it does stupid stuff...

>look tattoo

Using a deep black the color of a bottomless abyss, a series of numbers has been inked in a uniform line across the back of his neck. The number series has three zeros, followed by a one. The slant of the numbers and the slight nuances to their shape allude to a dwarven origin. Printed in tiny lettering under the numbers are the words, "Teras Asylum."

>look pentagram

From afar the details of a blood-red pentagram are slightly obscured by faint caesious ink. On closer inspection, the star appears to be anchored to a deep layer of the dermis, while having its otherwise sharp and angular lines marred with scarlet droplets.

>look sash

Pinned to your silk sash you see an intricate dark silver brooch trimmed with oval-cut rubies, a copper and blue sapphire pin, a circular platinum pin inlaid with a multicolored sea glass mosaic, a small tortoise shell pin, a dark bronze cockroach pin, an ivory Beacon Hall Archive pin, a round gold island-motif badge, and a translucent crystal brooch with a swirling black void captured inside.

Boring but hacked slightly...

>open other brooch

You open a translucent crystal brooch with a swirling black void captured inside.

>look in other brooch

In the crystal brooch you see some fine crystalline chalk.

More stuff...

>look charm

The charm has a small pin on the back, allowing it to be arbitrarily suspended. Crafted from a brilliant fire pearl, the trinket catches ambient light across the surface of the gem in a radiant rendition of the full moon. A trail of divots and blemishes mar a portion of the pearl, giving it the realistic appearance of a lunar entity. Seated inside the moon charm's bezel setting is a prism-cut diamond, which radiates an iridescent glow.

>look band

You see your band. This time-worn relic appears to be an engagement ring. A sparkling star-cut green tourmaline is set at the pinnacle of a silver band intricately worked to look like a drawbridge.

It is surrounded by a scintillating light.

>turn belt

You turn the leather rope belt around concealing the pocket.

>look case

Dented metal forms the thin walls of this rectangular case. The entire case had once been painted black, but much of the surface is now flaked where the case has banged into who knows what. Across the front, red and purple demons are detailed in brightly colored paint, prancing and dancing.

Yes, he really likes stupid closing pockets (like that earring):

>look my socks

You see nothing unusual, except for a small enchanter's glyph.

>look in my socks

In the black and grey socks you see some nappy azure lint.

>close socks

You close some mismatched black and grey socks sporting a large hole in one toe.

And there's always what I'm not wearing...

The only enhancive I altered is my GS3 to GS4 gift item:

You remove a blood-eagle feather talisman from in your silk cloak.

Other enhancives make me lazy sometimes, so...

You remove a mithril chain wristlet from in your marbrinus purse.

>look wrist

A small steel tag has been affixed to the bracelet, with dwarven letters etched across its surface.

There appears to be something written on it.

Hmm, what's that?

> read wrist

The writing is in dwarven, which you cannot read.

Yup, I dunno, either. My dwarven friend will have to post it here. He always lies to me about what it says.

When you need to animate the dead...

>wear rattle

You attach a polished maple baby rattle to your wrist.

>eat rattle

Unable to open it one-handed, you gently gnaw at the clasp of your maple baby rattle.

>open rattle

You open a polished maple baby rattle.

>look in rattle

In the maple baby rattle you see a bunch of crimson salt crystals and an uncut emerald.

Or when you want to pretend you're not so evil...

You remove a baking recipe book from in your small metal case.

>look book
The spine of the text reads, "Kaldonis's Confectioneries: A Practical Guide to Baking." The cover artwork depicts various appetizing images of dancing tarts, pies, cakes, turnovers, cupcakes, tiramisu, muffins, cookies, and other assorted treats. The dust jacket looks suspiciously ill-fitting, however, and white clumps of powdered sugar or perhaps chalk have accumulated in its many creases and folds. Spatterings of dried jelly probably make many of the pages difficult to separate.

>read book
1. a set of spiraling sky blue "es-ay-lu-qom-noj" glyphs [River's Rest, Town Commons]
2. a set of jagged sky blue "zi-beq-jil-ka-eks" glyphs [Oteska's Haven, Niima's Shrine]
3. (okay, it's my Planar Shifting book)

If you're bored...

You pucker your lips and make a sloppy smooching sound at your filmy blue toy eyeball.

>put eyeb in my purse

You put a bloodshot filmy blue toy eyeball with a tendril of slimy muscle hanging from the back in your marbrinus purse.

When you get hungry...

>get jar

You remove a clear glass pickling jar from in your small metal case.

>open jar

You open a clear glass pickling jar.

>In the glass pickling jar you see a pickled rolton foot and a pickled turtle egg.

Or thirsty (okay so it takes drink scripts and I liked this one too much to fill it with something else yet)...

You remove a glazed black pottery mug painted with a tart above crossed bones from in your marbrinus purse.

>raise mug

You raise your black pottery mug in a toast to River's Rest!

>drink my mug

There's nothing in the mug to drink!
Pain shoots through your limbs as you drink. A few moments pass as you wonder if the vile liquid has killed you.
That's odd. You can't seem to remember what happened in the past few seconds.

Or mad dwarves locked you away...

You remove a gamey roast dwarf sandwich from in your marbrinus purse.

There's more crap or zests and whatever, but those are the fun ones. Minus just a few things, those are all altered, and altered by me. And I try to do things as fitting as possible, like that cloak alteration is from this weekend after I won epic deepening.

It says, "For a good time, TTM."

>acc
You accept Kaldonis's offer and are now holding a mithril chain wristlet.
>read my wrist
In the Dwarven language, it reads:
Patient of the Teras Asylum

You see Lady Corlyne Lancre Nalfein.
She appears to be an Elf.
She is tall in stature and appears to be young. She has ebon-haloed, vivid nephrite green eyes and faultless, soft alabaster skin. She has short, glossy obsidian hair parted to the side and pinned back with a chain-draped ashen lace fascinator caught in silk-petaled garnet and black peonies. She has an unlined face, a small, triangular nose and a healthy curvature to her hips. She has thin-loped ears that curve sharply upward and frame the delicate contours of her face.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a tab-collared ebon suede coat with chain-fastened split tails, and a sculpted oxblood leather waistcoat cut to expose the gear-caught bust over a semi-sheer grey silk blouse tightly knotted at the waist, some striped black suede gloves sheathed in a frame of metal-plated leather, some low-slung black suede pants with thin vertical charcoal stripes, and a pair of corset-laced oxblood leather boots poised on sharply bladed heels.

It's a whole bunch of long descriptions, but I think my Lady Mechanika attempt came out alright. Plus I can do this:

Balling your hand into a tight fist, you raise it defiantly skyward as crackling energy dances around your glove, and then quickly fades.

I totally miss designing lady mechanika clothing with you :(
