Platinum Prestidigitorium and Private Property Meeting

2/1/2014
[Cerulean's, Entrance - 19453]
The rock-lined path leads behind several of the shacks and ends at a structure that looks incongruous for this area.  The small shop is constructed of the finest modwir, which someone has apparently decided to paint a sky blue.  The workmanship of the construction is exquisite, perhaps even elven handywork.  A large sign hangs above the door.  You also see an elated tree spirit that is flying around, the arctic blue Alica disk, a rock-lined path, an entrance with a small brass dial on it and a rent box.
Also here: GameMaster Kynlee, Lady Brynne, Vann, Taiyn, Lady Alica
Obvious paths: none
[Cerulean's, Front Room - 4]
The front room of this fine establishment is sparsely furnished.  A small window looks out on the shacks and hovels of the poorest residents of Wehnimer's Landing, a stark contrast to the obvious wealth of this shop's owner.  The walls and ceiling are painted a soothing sky-blue, creating a peaceful atmosphere in which to perform business transactions.  The wall behind the counter has been painted with an amazing fresco which draws your attention.  You also see the entrance with a small brass dial on it, a display case with a blue steel knob on it and a blue silk curtain.
Obvious exits: none
A small but colorful butterfly drifts into the room through the open window.  It flits about the room, finally coming to rest on the display case for a moment before continuing on its way.
GameMaster Kynlee just went through a blue silk curtain.
[Cerulean's, Backroom - 4]
An air of opulence surrounds you here.  A large, round aquarium dominates the center of the room.  Scattered in a circle around the aquarium are several extremely large, overstuffed pillows which look very comfortable indeed.  This looks like a very good place to sit and talk with friends or merely while away the hours.  A blue silk curtain separates this lounging room from the business area of the shop.  You also see a small tin and a small oak table with some stuff on it.
Also here: GameMaster Kynlee
Obvious exits: north

Kynlee says, "Ok, feel free to wander around for a few."
Kynlee smiles.
Kynlee says, "It's no longer a workshop, though.  When it got rolled into Plat, the enchanting pool wasn't added."
Alica asks, "Can it be added back?"
Kynlee says, "Right now, I'm at my allowed 'max' for enchanting workshops in properties."
You say, "I don't really see a need for more private enchanting workshops in Plat, but that's my selfishness I think."
Kynlee says, "Hopefully, as more get added, I can get it bumped up to 1 more."
A stray ray of light comes through the window and reflects off the glass of the display case directly into your eyes.
Athias says, speaking to you, "Because the people who could really use them don't have one."
Kynlee says, "Depends on who owns the properties, and whether they actually get used, I suppose."
Kiel relaxes himself, ready to move swiftly when required.
Fjalar asks, "So, it is a workshop in prime, but not here?"
A shaft of scintillating light suddenly pierces the ceiling and strikes the ground next to you.  The beam of light then explodes in a shower of sparks and Zoelle is standing in its place.
You say, speaking to Athias, "And probably wouldn't get it if one more were added. Someone would just roll up another pocket like all the rest of the workshops currently."
Kynlee says, "For instance, there's one in Prime that was owned for about 4 years and no wizard was ever designated to use the workshop."
Kynlee says, "There's no workshop in Prime in this property."
Kynlee says, "It was opened to the public, the workshop was removed, and just left basically for the historical factor."
Fjalar says, "Ah."
Kynlee turns to Zoelle and cheers!
Athias says, "Anyone who has the kind of money to purchase one, already has a pocket wizard."
Taiyn takes a bite of her blueberry muffin.
Athias nods to you.
Kynlee chuckles.
Kiel says, "Sorak has one, it's his, and he uses it."
You ask, speaking to Athias, "Have they all gone out by auction?"
Kynlee asks, "Ok, everyone had enough time to look around?"
Athias says, speaking to you, "All the ones that I've known about."
Fjalar says, speaking to you, "Not hardly."
Fjalar says, speaking to you, "More workshops went out via raffle than auction."
You say, "Thought so."
You nod.
A small but colorful butterfly drifts into the room through the open window.  It flits about the room, finally coming to rest on the display case for a moment before continuing on its way.
Kiel asks, "So the enchant room is a lie?"
Athias nods at Kiel.
Kiel nods.
Lord Ezic just came through a blue silk curtain.
Kiel says, "Sneaky."
Kynlee chuckles.
Mithogras chuckles.
Fjalar just went through a blue silk curtain.
Fjalar just came through a blue silk curtain.
Kynlee says, "Pretty much everything in this place is a lie."
You say, "Used to have one. I helped enchant my first char's first armor here."
Kynlee points at a fresco.
Athias says, "And according to Kynlee, we're not allowed to have anymore private workshops is plat."
You gaze in wonder at your surroundings.
Lady Alica just came through a blue silk curtain.
Kynlee says, "You all have no Brigatta."
Alica says, "A cat ate one of the fish."
Alica furrows her brow.
Alica says, "You might want to restock the tank."
Kynlee says, speaking to Athias, "Not with the present number of private properties.  But I'm working on getting more released.  More prpoerties will hopefully allow for more workshops.  And summoning chambers."
You ask, speaking to Alica, "Nobody's been feeding them for decades. Dead?"
Kynlee grins.
Athias asks, "Oh, are summoning chambers separate from workshops?"
Mithogras nods.
Ephelysse nods.
Kynlee nods.
Kynlee says, "Yeah."
Vann mutters, "The entrances to private properties should port you to the park."
Athias says, "I've missed a little bit, don't mind me if I ask stupid questions."
You say, speaking to Kynlee, "I'd rather see a MHO-type workshop than a private one tied to one account."
Kynlee says, "The workshops require the mana pool, but summoning chambers are set up differently."
Fjalar asks, speaking to Kynlee, "Do summoning chambers work as a workshop for ensorcelling purposes?"
Athias nods at Fjalar.
Mithogras says, "No."
Ephelysse nods at Fjalar.
Athias works his fingers under his wizard's hat and scratches his head.
Taiyn cocks her head.

[Cerulean's, Front Room - 4]
The front room of this fine establishment is sparsely furnished.  A small window looks out on the shacks and hovels of the poorest residents of Wehnimer's Landing, a stark contrast to the obvious wealth of this shop's owner.  The walls and ceiling are painted a soothing sky-blue, creating a peaceful atmosphere in which to perform business transactions.  The wall behind the counter has been painted with an amazing fresco which draws your attention.  You also see the arctic blue Alica disk, the earth brown Athias disk, the entrance with a small brass dial on it, a display case with a blue steel knob on it and a blue silk curtain.
Also here: Great Lord Eronderl, Lady Alica, Fjalar, Lord Ezic, Master Kiel, Seeress Ephelysse, Mithogras, GameMaster Zoelle, Lady Brynne, Vann, Athias, Taiyn, GameMaster Kynlee
Obvious exits: none
Athias points at Ephelysse.
Athias points at Mithogras.
Taiyn says, "Now i'm confused."
Kiel asks, "Do workshops work with ensorcel?"
Kynlee says, speaking to Fjalar, "I honestly don't know, but I'll send out an email and find out."
Through the small window you see a group of children who appear to be playing a game involving a blue cat, a small ball, and a top.  You can see no obvious rules but the children seem to be enjoying themselves.
Eronderl says, "Yes they di Kiel."
Kiel nods.
Eronderl coughs.
Eronderl says, "Do."
Taiyn takes a bite of her blueberry muffin.
Mithogras rubs his chin thoughtfully.
Alica's blue phoenix tattoo suddenly emerges from underneath her grey moire trousers and glides over to her leg before settling down.
Kiel knocks on a display case.
Kynlee says, "I've not delved into the type of workshops used by sorcerers for their evildoing."
Kynlee grins.
You grin.
Kiel nods at Kynlee.
Taiyn chuckles.
Ephelysse begins chuckling at Kynlee!
Kiel says, "Wise."
Vann asks, "Is "Cerulean's" a private property in prime?"
Ephelysse says, speaking to Kynlee, "We aren't so evil."
Kynlee looks over at Vann and shakes her head.
You ask, "So we've all pretty much decided we want this a private property here?"
Kiel says, "It's a blue color."
Kynlee says, speaking to Vann, "It was opened up to the public last summer/fall."
Vann nods.
Eronderl says, speaking to Kynlee, "My property has a workshop and we have observed and easing of difficult readings on ensorcellment within it."
Kiel says, "It's going to be "shiny and new"."
Alica rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Mithogras says, "Yes, a workshop. Not a summoning chamber."
Eronderl says, "I believe a private workshop has been proven to reduce the difficulty by about 1.5 "difficulty levels"."
Vann says, "A public artisan workshop would be nice.  with wings for each of the respective trades."
Kynlee says, "Ok, so, I've kept notes from those who posted on the officials, and those that emailed me."
Taiyn agrees with Vann.
Athias says, speaking to Vann, "Unfortunately that can't work."
Vann says, "And a room entirely filled with bunnies."
Athias says, "At least you wouldn't get the bonus from it being a private workshop."
Taiyn laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.
Kynlee says, "Out of 14 responses, 3 preferred the Mayor residence.  The other 11 leaned for making it a private residence."
Brynne says, speaking to Vann, "That only takes two to start."
A stiff breeze blows through from the direction of the bakery bringing with it the enticing smell of fresh baked goods.
You say, "Those 3 may not know that the Mayor has a 3-ish room lockable place already."
Kynlee says, "They do."
Fjalar says, "Or they don't care."
Kynlee nods to you.
Alica rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Vann asks, "What was that one organization -- fireside?  What happened to that?"
Athias says, speaking to you, "There's also the possibility of getting a new mayor."
You say, speaking to Athias, "He'd get the Mayor's office."
You shrug.
Kynlee says, "I've talked to Wyrom, and he plans on having an election every year for a new Mayor."
Athias says, "Since the house would have been tied to the position, not the office."
Athias says, speaking to you, "A vote."
Athias points at Kynlee.
Alica grins.
Eronderl says, "It's tied to the mayors office Athias."
You say, speaking to Athias, "Same with the office. I'm still not getting it."
Eronderl says, "Hraus will lose access when he's no longer mayor."
You chuckle.
You agree with Eronderl.
You say, "Yup."
Alica says, "It would provide incentive to run."
Alica chuckles.
Athias says, speaking to Eronderl, "I meant, to the mayor position, not the person."
Kynlee says, "The office would be for official business.  The residence would be more of a perk."
Kynlee shrugs.
Kynlee says, "But with the votes I got, it looks like the Mayor will have to sleep at his desk."
Kynlee chuckles.
Alica grins.
Fjalar says, "Except you'd lose both when you are removed from office."
Eronderl asks, "To be completely clear a private residence would have an enchanting workshop?"
Alica says, "He should never sleep anyways."
Alica waves her hand in a dismissive gesture.
Athias says, "Or we could just expand the town hall to give the mayor an office."
You say, "But the office is a lockable 3room property with storage. I still don't get what another few rooms adds to the perk."
Laethia says, "A previous Mayor slept in the broom-cupboard."
Fjalar says, "He has an office."
Laethia says, "You can still see him there."
Kynlee says, "Think of it as the Oval Office and the White House."
Kynlee shrugs.
Vann's group just went through the entrance.
A stiff breeze blows through from the direction of the bakery bringing with it the enticing smell of fresh baked goods.
Athias says, speaking to Fjalar, "Then he doesn't need a house."
You say, speaking to Athias, "The town hall was expanded and has a lovely office."
You flail your arms about.
Athias folds his arms over his chest.
Athias says, "Nobody tells me anything."
You laugh out loud!
Fjalar says, "That's what people have been saying."
Kynlee chuckles.
Alica says, "A nice enough house could better be used to host social events."
You give Athias a good rap on the shoulder.
Kynlee ponders.
Fjalar gets a blank look on his face.
Eronderl asks, "Kynlee, this property currently has a workshop in prime?"
You say, speaking to Alica, "The office has a lovely lounge."
Fjalar says, "No."
Fjalar says, "No workshop."
Kynlee looks over at Eronderl and shakes her head.
Fjalar says, "It's public."
Kynlee says, speaking to Eronderl, "Not a working one, no."
Eronderl asks, "Would it have a workshop as a private property in plat?"
You look at Eronderl and shake your head.
Eronderl says, "I'm sorry I'm late so maybe I missed this conversation."
Athias says, speaking to Eronderl, "Can't do that because of the number of private properties, we need more properties before we can have more workshops."
Kynlee says, "It had one while it was a private property, but it was removed last summer/fall when the property was opened to the public."
Alica says, "I rather like the idea of a series of properties geared towards each profession."
You say, speaking to Athias, "Kynlee has stated that she's at the max for workshops period."
Kynlee says, "For now."
Kynlee nods to you.
Eronderl asks, "What about summoning chambers?"
Athias says, speaking to you, "That's what I just said."
Eronderl asks, "A private forge?"
Kynlee says, "But.. I will tell you that we are working on a few new properties right now."
Alica nods at Eronderl.
Kynlee touches one finger to her lips.
Alica says, "That's the idea."
Athias says, "I actually like Vann's idea, of having a public access facilities."
Kynlee asks, "Where did that boy go?"
Fjalar asks, speaking to Kynlee, "How about this...how many properties are currently repo'd, or going to be coming up for re-release in the near future?"
Eronderl says, "We have public access facilities."
You say, speaking to Athias, "Even if more private properties were added, it's not the point."
Eronderl says, "No one uses them."
Taiyn agrees with Athias.
Kynlee looks around for Vann.
Athias says, speaking to Eronderl, "Some of us don't know where they are."
Nilandia says, speaking in Sylvankind to Kynlee, something you don't understand.
Eronderl asks, "You don't know where the forge in each town is?"
Nilandia clears her throat.
Nilandia says, "He left a couple minutes ago."
Eronderl asks, "Or the enchanting workshop in the wizards guilds?"
Eronderl says, "Summoning chambers in all sorcerer guilds."
Athias says, "Wizard guild workshops aren't public."
Eronderl says, "They don't need to be."
Alica says, "The enchanting workshops in the guilds to require guild membership."
Eronderl says, "The guild workshop is better for enhanting than a public one anyways."
Kynlee says, speaking to Fjalar, "There are 3 unoccupied at the moment.  One is set aside for a pending release by another GM during an event."
Alica's blue phoenix tattoo seems to grow increasingly more restless as it mills about.  Finally, it gathers itself and disappears behind the dark blue leathers covering her chest.
You ponder.
Alica asks, "Where are those three located?"
Kynlee says, "As for the other two, you should see something soon about at least one of them being put back into your hands."
Fjalar says, speaking to Kynlee, "I already have one, but thanks for the offer."
Kynlee begins chuckling at Fjalar!
Kynlee says, "One is here in the Landing, one is in Ta'Vaalor, and one is in Ta'Illistim."
Athias asks, "Do any of them have workshops?"
Kiel just left.
Athias ponders.
Eronderl says, "Assuming the Bastion is one of them."
Kynlee says, "The one here in the Landing is the one that you should see within the next month, hopefully."
Taiyn just went through the entrance.
Kynlee nods at Athias.
A stiff breeze blows through from the direction of the bakery bringing with it the enticing smell of fresh baked goods.
Athias ponders.
Kynlee says, speaking to Athias, "Yes, the one here in the Landing does."
Alica nods.
You ask, "Dragon's Lair, and Alabaster Bastion, and... the Garden Cottage?"
You say, "Dragon's Lair is the workshop."
Kynlee says, "Not the Garden Cottage.  Stormwild Manor."
Eronderl says, "I'm glad someone keeps track of these things like I do with spell knowledge items."
Eronderl chuckles.
You say, "Oh wow. Stormwild is gorgeous."
Alica asks, "Stormwild?"
Nilandia says, "Stormwild is in Ta'Illistim."
You nod.
The glowing specks of energy surrounding Fjalar suddenly shoot off in all directions, then quickly fade away.
Zoelle just left.
Zoelle just arrived.
Fjalar says, "Guessing that is the storyline release one."
You say, "I located once when the owner was in it. Just beautiful."
Fjalar seems a bit less imposing.
Kynlee says, "If a property comes open, we try to let that town's guru have the first shot at getting it back out, so sometimes between having to go through and clean up the property, get it re-qc'd, and then finding a good distribution method, it can take a bit."
Nilandia says, "It's a rather large property, very lavishly decorated."
Kynlee says, "It's lovely."
Kynlee nods.
Eronderl says, "I'll stick with the barge."
Kynlee chuckles.
Eronderl says, "Though I still need my fishing hole stocked."
Eronderl ducks his head.
Alica grins.
Nilandia says, "But no mechanical benefits like a summoning chamber or workshop."
You say, "I'd trade up for Stormwild even without a workshop."
You blush a nice shade of light pink.
You say, "So pretty."
A stray ray of light comes through the window and reflects off the glass of the display case directly into your eyes.
Athias says, speaking to Nilandia, "Sometimes that's all people want."
Alica smiles.
Kynlee says, "Correct.  Stormwild is a 6 room property, so one of the larger ones, but no workshop or summoning chamber."
Fjalar says, "Would have thought the smuggler's tower in RR would have been repo'd by now."
Nilandia says, speaking to Athias, "Of course, but it is nice to be clear so people know what they're getting themselves into."
Ephelysse nods at Fjalar.
Kynlee grins at Fjalar.
Ephelysse says, speaking to Fjalar, "Me too."
Eronderl asks, "That's Rvains?"
Kynlee says, "It's currently in QC and should be done soon."
Ephelysse nods at Eronderl.
Kynlee says, "It needed some TLC."
Kynlee says, "And storage."
Fjalar asks, "The tower?"
Kynlee says, "It had 0 storage."
Kynlee shakes her head, totally at a loss.
Kynlee says, "Some of you might know, I'm big on storage."
Fjalar nods at Kynlee.
Kynlee grins.
Alica says, "Storage is good."
Mithogras says, "Storage is good."
Kynlee adopts an agreeable expression.
Mithogras nods at Alica.
Nilandia says, "For which I am exceedingly grateful."
Eronderl says, "Same here."
Eronderl says, "So glad you fixed that cabinet."
Kynlee grins at Eronderl.
Kynlee exclaims, "You're welcome!"
Fjalar says, "Yes, I was pleasantly surprised when you added more to the cozy cottage, I always thought it had a lot as it was."
You say, speaking to Kynlee, "Speaking of which, I need to talk to you for a minute after the meeting about my storage if you have time."
Kynlee says, "I always just took it for granted that they'd all have storage.  But that wasn't the case and it differed a lot from property to property.  So now there's a set standard to work with.  Makes things easier when adding new properties."
Kynlee nods.
You applaud.
Eronderl says, "Honestly Kynlee from a financial perspective nothing keeps an account open better than a private property."
Kynlee begins chortling at Eronderl.
You agree with Eronderl.
Through the small window you see a group of children who appear to be playing a game involving a blue cat, a small ball, and a top.  You can see no obvious rules but the children seem to be enjoying themselves.
Eronderl says, "I know Alabaster Bastion kept Taeghans account open 6 months longer than he would have otherwise."
Kynlee says, "Ok, let's get back to this place, then after we've brainstormed we can talk about whatever you want, property wise."
Athias says, speaking to Eronderl, "This is sadly very true."
Alica rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Eronderl says, "And the barge has kept mine open when I otherwise would have closed it for a few months."
You say, "And this is the longest I've ever continuously held an account open in my history of GS."
Eronderl says, "Private properties are just one of the big things to flush out a character."
You shrug.
Fjalar says, "Until they become a GM."
Kynlee says, "Rob sent me a very detailed email for his vision of this place.  He saw a three story tower, which he called 'Freeholder's Folly' and it was basically a slightly disordered, yet nice, place with nicknacks everywhere."
Kynlee grins.
Eronderl says, "Once you have one you love you'll do a lot to keep it."
You say, speaking to Eronderl, "I don't consider myself flushed."
You stick your tongue out at Eronderl and let loose with a loud, "Thbtbtbtbt" from your lips!
Eronderl says, "I've sometimes suggested you should be."
Eronderl winks at you.
You say, "Ditto."
You wink at Eronderl.
Eronderl snickers.
Fjalar says, speaking to Eronderl, "And I'm pretty sure Kaikala disproved that theory a long time ago.  Private properties were turning over on a pretty regular basis."
Kynlee says, "Other ideas were to move it elsewhere and make it zomg awesome, or fix it up and use it as sort of a way to keep making this area nicer."
You say, speaking to Kynlee, "I would really rather have the new owner have a say in its design."
Eronderl says, "Agreed."
Ephelysse nods to you.
A stray ray of light comes through the window and reflects off the glass of the display case directly into your eyes.
You say, "I don't feel as attached to mine since there's zero of me in it."
Eronderl says, "If you're going to the trouble of redesigning the whole place make it a custom."
Nilandia says, "If it stays here, I would much rather the property fit into the surrounding area.  Allow some redesign, but it should reflect its location."
Nilandia traces a sign while petitioning the spirits for cognition...
Nilandia gestures.
Kynlee says, speaking to you, "I wanted to talk about something very similar to that after we went over this remodel."
Kynlee grins.
Eronderl says, "I agree with that as well Nilandia."
Fjalar says, "I like the idea of a custom design, but it's a double edged sword."
You ask, speaking to Nilandia, "Exteriorly or interiorly too?"
Alica says, "It could take to long to deliver for a true custom."
Kynlee asks, "As for letting the new owner design it, what happens in a year, or two, when that owner is no longer the owner?"
Nilandia says, speaking to you, "Yes."
Kynlee says, "You end up with a property that fits one person."
Fjalar says, "Kaliq and Roslyn's property is so customized to them, it'd lose something if it ever fell into someone else's hands."
Fjalar nods at Kynlee.
Athias asks, speaking to Kynlee, "What about with some of the properties that you have now - where they basically don't fit anyone?"
You say, "Having some say in it is different than designing it all themselves. Or customizing it specifically."
Eronderl says, "True enough."
Fjalar says, speaking to Kynlee, "That was my thought exactly."
Eronderl says, "I still like the idea of a bigger inside than it appears outside thing."
Kynlee says, speaking to Eronderl, "You just want a Tardis."
Kynlee appears to be trying hard not to grin.
You agree with Eronderl.
Eronderl says, "I have a property."
Kynlee chuckles.
Eronderl says, "And I'd never trade it."
Athias says, "I want a Tardis."
You ask, "Who wouldn't want a Tardis?"
You giggle.
Eronderl says, "But I think it'd fit really well into shanty town."
Eronderl says, "The other option is to make it exactly what it is."
Eronderl says, "A run down shack."
Fjalar says, "Definitely characters that would fit."
You say, "I do very much like the idea of a magical home that's quite Tardis-like."
Athias says, "I just want it to be bigger on the inside."
A stray ray of light comes through the window and reflects off the glass of the display case directly into your eyes.
Eronderl says, "I think you'd have a really small private property then."
Kynlee nods.
Eronderl asks, "Maybe two rooms.  The main shack and a hidden cellar?"
Eronderl asks, "Make it a summoning chamber?"
Alica says, "I have weird ideas for things. Like a huge dining room with a buffet that lets you select plates and utensils, perfect for hosting dinner parties. Or a private library with x number of tomes you can select to have on hand."
Eronderl says, "Just tossing out ideas here."
You nod at Eronderl.
Eronderl says, "I just agree it should fit in in shanty town."
You say, "Ah, a large underground sort of tying into the Catacombs would work."
Kynlee says, "Two things, this property will stay here in Shanty Town where it is, and it will not have a functioning summong chamber or workshop."
Fjalar says, "Hire Thandiwe back, let her design it.  win-win."
Nilandia says, "Escape tunnel when the Landing is under siege.  Again."
Eronderl says, "Alright no chamber."
Eronderl says, "Just thinking it should have something to offset being small if you made it one or two rooms."
Eronderl shrugs.
Kynlee agrees with Nilandia.
Kynlee says, "That's totally doable."
Kynlee says, "It's got three rooms right now, so we can use all three or add another if there's good reason to."
You say, speaking to Alica, "Cait's is set up for tea parties. It's really amazing. Ask her for tea next time she's around."
Nilandia says, "Might even tie it into the Smuggler's Tunnels or something.  No telling where they all go."
Kynlee says, "That's rather flexible."
Alica appears less confident.
Kiel just arrived.
Fjalar asks, "Escape room for the extra?"
Alica grins at you.
Kynlee says, speaking to Fjalar, "It could be used that way, sure."
Eronderl asks, "Again the question is what do we want the exterior to look like and do we want the interior to match?"
Fjalar says, "I'd say just let the new owner design some custom ambients and a few other extras."
Kiel says, "I'd want to remodel the entire thing."
Alica whispers, "I was just trying to think of something that would be neat, but not provide any advantage. Something that owning the house would make you better at hosting or something."
You say, "Exterior--fit in, interior--Tardisy."
Kynlee chuckles.
Alica says, "And the blue cat is just weird."
Alica says, "Though I like the aquarium."
Lifting its beak, a nightingale whistles a few soft, twittering notes before falling silent.
Fjalar asks, speaking to Kiel, "And when you inevibatably take a break?  The next owner designs it from scratch again?"
Kynlee says, "We can definitely work something into the room description in here about it being larger than the outside would leave you to believe."
(OOC) You quietly whisper to Alica, "Well, one would probably find out that nobody wants to slow down for a dinner party when there's EXP and treasure to go get."
Kiel emits a skillful reproduction of the delicate whistle of a whippoorwhill.
Nilandia says, "I've known some places in real life that have felt bigger on the inside."
Athias says, "To be honest, it doesn't make sense that a magical place that would be tardisy, isn't going to have a workshop."
Nilandia says, "But it's subtle."
(OOC) Alica's player whispers, "True enough. Unless the experience were unique enough to make it worth while."
Eronderl says, "I mean I'm fully alright with a beat up one room shack with some tunnels underneath."
Eronderl says, "Would really fit a smuggler type character or just a poor one."
Athias says, "So, as much as I'd love to see a tardis - I think it would be better to do that elsewhere."
You say, "I like some limited customization but not a complete custom redesign."
Fjalar nods to you.
Alica nods to you.
Kiel begins chuckling at Athias!
Kynlee says, "Going along with the 'bigger on the inside', we can always build down."
Kynlee grins.
You agree with Kynlee.
A stiff breeze blows through from the direction of the bakery bringing with it the enticing smell of fresh baked goods.
Kynlee says, "Have a modest size entry room, then just build underground.  No way to tell from the outside what's under you."
Kynlee grins.
You say, "I actually think building down would fit much better with the Landing."
Kiel says, "Come on, with all the magic we have out hand, we can mess with dimensional spaces, no problem."
Athias asks, "Make it a dungeon, that we use to torture the kids that keep running past the windows?"
Kynlee says, "Would be much easier to have an escape tunnel, as well."
Alica says, "I like the idea of a large underground area."
Nilandia says, "Just have to make sure not to bump into the various tunnels and the river that's just east of here."
You giggle at Athias.
Fjalar says, "Underground swimming hole."
You beam!
You nod at Fjalar.
Athias says, speaking to Kynlee, "It would actually be nice to have a private property that leads into the catacombs."
Alica says, "Running water."
You say, "Hot spring."
Kiel says, "Isnt there one in icemule arelady?  thurfels island."
Alica says, "Since we are close to the river."
You say, speaking to Athias, "The Mayor's office has that."
You wink at Athias.
Kynlee says, "Smuggler's Tower has a 'hidden room' with a portal that leads into the Beay."
Kynlee says, "Er, Bay."
You say, "Escape tunnel to the catacombs."
Athias says, speaking to you, "Like I said, nobody tells me anything."
You grin.
Fjalar says, "Valmos's has an escape thing if i remember right."
Kiel stands up.
Master Kiel just went through the entrance.
You say, "To the park."
You nod at Fjalar.
Nilandia says, "His leads to the park, I believe."
Kynlee grins.
Eronderl says, "So a beat up shack and then a hidden trap door with stuff beneath it."
A stray ray of light comes through the window and reflects off the glass of the display case directly into your eyes.
Nilandia says, "I do like that idea."
Eronderl asks, "Kynlee could we make the shack public and the private property through the trap door?"
Alica says, "A modest place."
You say, "I would really also like to see small property customization raffles, auctions, whatever, but that's not really on topic."
You stare at nothing in particular.
Eronderl says, "Only the ower could open the trap door."
Kynlee says, "I like the unassuming shack on the outside, maybe with a bit of landscaping, but not too much to draw unwanted attention."
Kynlee grins.
Fjalar says, speaking to you, "I'd rather see that as something you earn based on time owning a property."
You agree with Kynlee.
Kynlee says, speaking to you, "We'll get to that."
Kynlee grins at you.
You say, speaking to Fjalar, "Or that."
Eronderl says, "Just make the shack part of the public shanty town and make the actual property below it."
You nod at Fjalar.
Kynlee asks, speaking to Eronderl, "That's a possibility, but why would the shack be public?"
Eronderl says, "Because it's not part of the property."
Fjalar exclaims, "Hey you kids, get off my roof!"
Eronderl says, "The real property is beneath it."
You say, speaking to Eronderl, "I actually disagree. I think a private shack has its charms too."
Eronderl shrugs.
Eronderl says, "Just spitballing."
Kynlee says, "Technically, it is part of the property."
Kynlee grins.
You say, "Invite people  you don't like over to the shack, let people you do like into the lush areas."
Kynlee says, "Once you come down the rock-lined path, that's the beginning of the property."
You grin.
Fjalar says, "That's easily achievable without doing that."
Fjalar says, "Put a lock on the shack, a lock on the trap door."
Laethia smiles.
Alica says, "It could be a smugglers haven beneath the shack."
The light blue glow leaves Laethia.
Alica rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Mithogras just left.
You agree with Fjalar.
Fjalar says, "The owner is able to leave the shack open, while locking the trap door."
Fjalar says, "Cozy cottage works similarly...has a gate and a front door."
Eronderl asks, "Does it have to stay a rock lined path?"
A small but colorful butterfly drifts into the room through the open window.  It flits about the room, finally coming to rest on the display case for a moment before continuing on its way.
Eronderl asks, "Or could we just have the shack in the room with the rock lined path?"
Athias asks, speaking to Kynlee, "How many rooms is it currently, and how many could it potentially have?"
Kynlee says, "I could talk to Wyrom about maybe redesigning things a bit, maybe moving the shack to the room where the path is."
Kynlee ponders.
You ask, speaking to Athias, "3, she said possibly 1 more?"
Fjalar says, "3, possible for a 4th."
Athias says, "Assuming that the entrance is one room, how many would be left over."
Kynlee says, speaking to Athias, "It is currently 4 rooms.  We could add another room or two if we really need to."
Athias asks, speaking to Kynlee, "Four includes the entrance?"
You ask, "So the 4 includes the entrance room?"
You chuckle.
Athias tries to pinch you, but you see it coming and lean away just in time.
Kynlee says, "The entrance room counts as part of the property, but you can't keep people out of that room, so sometimes it's not really counted."
You smirk.
Kynlee points at the entrance.
Kynlee says, "That room out there."
Kynlee nods at Athias.
Athias says, speaking to Kynlee, "That doesn't answer the question."
Eronderl says, "So small beat up shack."
Eronderl says, "Trap door."
Eronderl says, "Lavish underground complex with an escape to the tunnels."
Eronderl says, "Heavily implying smuggling."
Kynlee says, speaking to Athias, "The 4 rooms are the entrance room that you are in when you come down the rock-lined path.  Then there's this room, the room through the curtain, and then the room that is north of that room.  Four rooms."
Alica says, "That would explain the fine things found below."
[Cerulean's, Backroom - 4]
An air of opulence surrounds you here.  A large, round aquarium dominates the center of the room.  Scattered in a circle around the aquarium are several extremely large, overstuffed pillows which look very comfortable indeed.  This looks like a very good place to sit and talk with friends or merely while away the hours.  A blue silk curtain separates this lounging room from the business area of the shop.  You also see a small tin and a small oak table with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: north
>n
[Cerulean's, Enchant Room - 4]
The air is heavy and thick with the feel of discharged essence that has built up here.  Shelves line two walls of the room and each shelf is filled with various flasks, potions, vials, containers of many animal parts and other items that you really don't want to think about.  A table of solid sapphire rests in the center of the room, obviously meant to provide insulation for items during the process of enchanting.  You also see a translucent blue sphere with a small silver dial on it.
Obvious exits: south
>l spher
You see nothing unusual.
>l on tab
There is nothing on there.
>l dial
The dial is a graduated scale, numbered from 0 to 99.  It is turned so that a pointer above it points to 69.

[Cerulean's, Front Room - 4]
The front room of this fine establishment is sparsely furnished.  A small window looks out on the shacks and hovels of the poorest residents of Wehnimer's Landing, a stark contrast to the obvious wealth of this shop's owner.  The walls and ceiling are painted a soothing sky-blue, creating a peaceful atmosphere in which to perform business transactions.  The wall behind the counter has been painted with an amazing fresco which draws your attention.  You also see the arctic blue Alica disk, the earth brown Athias disk, the entrance with a small brass dial on it, a display case with a blue steel knob on it and a blue silk curtain.
Also here: GameMaster Zoelle, Nilandia, Laethia, Great Lord Eronderl, Lady Alica, Fjalar, Lord Ezic, Seeress Ephelysse, Athias, GameMaster Kynlee
Obvious exits: none
Kynlee nods.
Fjalar says, "Some properties have their rent box in a room that is just part of the environs."
Alica rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Eronderl asks, "Ooo could we have it come out somehwere near the docks?"
Eronderl says, "Secondary entrance at the docks even."
Kynlee says, "But not all rent boxes are in the entrance, or first room, of the property.  Most are, but some are further in or just in odd places."
Eronderl says, "Instead of the tunnels, since some properties already come out down there."
Alica asks, "What if the freso or painting there were painted in a way that hid a downward stairwell?"
Alica says, "So no trap door..just an illusion of space hiding the stairs."
Kynlee says, "I'll talk to Wyrom about having more than one entrance/exit.  Exits are certainly doable, but entrances I'll have to talk to him about."
Alica says, "It would give the room description the idea of the space looking even smaller on the inside."
Alica rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Nilandia says, "Could even have an object in the room to manipulate and open a hidden door.  The proverbial book on a bookshelf that you pull, for example."
Eronderl hums a seemingly random tune.
A stiff breeze blows through from the direction of the bakery bringing with it the enticing smell of fresh baked goods.
You say, "Like the office."
You chuckle.
Kynlee begins chuckling at Eronderl!
Fjalar says, "Better."
Nilandia asks, speaking to you, "You really do like that office, don't you?"
Fjalar says, "Have it work like the thyril entrance where you have to jump up and down."
Kynlee says, "The hidden switch/trigger to open a door is something we could do."
Kynlee nods.
Fjalar says, "Except without the large group requirement."
Alica says, "I see a future candidate for mayor."
Alica glances at you.
Alica grins.
You say, "I thought it was a great perk, but I just know it well. Was in there a lot."
You look at Alica and shake your head.
Fjalar says, "Brown chicken, brown cow now."
Alica chuckles.
Athias asks, speaking to you, "Servicing the mayor?"
Alica shakes her head, clucking her tongue.
Eronderl says, "Could also do a password."
You nod at Athias.
You say, "As campaign manager."
You pinch Athias!
Kynlee says, "If there are particular things that this place needs, script wise, I can code those."
Kynlee shrugs.
Alica says, "Oh..password is nice."
Eronderl says, "My barge uses a password."
Kynlee nods.
Kynlee says, "Yes, yes it does."
Kynlee grins.
You say, "I really like the dial he always had. Combination lock."
Kynlee says, "The mobile airship uses a neat little system as well."
You say, "But only the owner can actually enter the correct combination."
Fjalar says, speaking to Kynlee, "I'd love a re-write on my hammock."
Nilandia says, "But if it's going to be a shack, a combination lock doesn't really make sense."
Kynlee says, "No keys required, just a guest list type deal."
Eronderl says, "The House on the Rock has that."
Fjalar says, "My workshop has a password to enter it."
Fjalar taps a small brass dial on the entrance.
You ask, speaking to Nilandia, "To the underground?"
Eronderl says, "The statues have a pre-approved list of people not to shock."
Kynlee nods.
Eronderl says, "Perhaps combine it."
A stray ray of light comes through the window and reflects off the glass of the display case directly into your eyes.
Alica rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Nilandia says, "Maybe, but it would have to be moved."
Fjalar asks, "Feral cat to attack people?"
Kynlee chuckles.
Eronderl says, "Have a hidden switch or something that shocks you ifyou aren't on the list."
Kynlee asks, "Like the hawk on Teras?"
Kynlee grins.
Fjalar nods at Kynlee.
Fjalar says, "Yep, love that thing."
You nod at Eronderl.
Kynlee adopts an agreeable expression.
Fjalar says, "So much fun to trick people into trying to enter it."
Kynlee snickers.
Kynlee exclaims, speaking to Fjalar, "You're evil.  I approve!"
You grin.
Fjalar says, "I think we got Eulogia and Mithogras with it before."
Ephelysse snickers at Fjalar.
Alica rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Kynlee asks, "Ok, so, we're leaning toward an unassuming shack out on the corner of Shanty town that anyone can come into... then a sort of crappy interior with a hidden super secret cool entry method to an underground grotto?"
Ephelysse nods at Kynlee.
As Fjalar shakes his head, small flakes of ash fall slowly toward the ground.
You adopt an agreeable expression.
You squint at Fjalar.
You say, "Oh, that anyone can come into, actually no."
Fjalar says, "No, keep the shack as part of the property.  Just make it lockable, give the owner the option to allow others to enter or not."
You nod at Fjalar.
You say, "That."
Eronderl says, "Ooo if you get the super secret entry thing wrong or aren't on the approved list it dumps you into a tunnel that drops you into darkstone bay."
Fjalar says, "Then a lock on the trapdoor to keep the rest private if they open up the shack."
A small but colorful butterfly drifts into the room through the open window.  It flits about the room, finally coming to rest on the display case for a moment before continuing on its way.
Kynlee asks, "Ah, so you gotta be on the list to get in the shack, THEN you get the super secret cool entrance?"
Kynlee begins chuckling at Eronderl!
Athias just arrived.  Wait, wasn't he here already?
Fjalar says, speaking to Kynlee, "I was thinking more like the gate of the cozy cottage."
Nilandia says, "Well hey, we do have a swimming area now."
Eronderl says, "Just a lock on the entrance to the shack."
Eronderl says, "With a rusty key."
Eronderl says, "The owner can choose to leave it unlocked or not."
Eronderl says, "Then the super secret entry method could have a password or list or whatever."
Fjalar says, "Use the old CoL toilet flush entrance for the secret area."
Kynlee ponders.
Zoelle starts chortling.
Kynlee asks, "And if they're not on the list, a door opens and they end up in one of a few preset random places?"
Kynlee grins mischievously.
Zoelle says, speaking to Kynlee, "An outhouse, you go in, sit down and pull a lever."
Kynlee starts chortling.
Kynlee exclaims, "Tempting!"
Nilandia laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.
Nilandia exclaims, speaking to Kynlee, "Do it!"
Eronderl says, "That's awesome."
Kynlee says, "I miss that old CoL entrance, with the score cards."
Kynlee sighs.
Fjalar nods at Kynlee.
Athias nods at Kynlee.
Eronderl says, "If they're not on the list it flushes them into the middle of darkstone bay."
Nilandia says, "No one would expect an entrance in the loo."
Fjalar says, "Exactly."
Athias says, "Me too."
You grin.
Kynlee says, "I don't know how many hours I spent trying to get on the score board."
You agree with Kynlee.
Alica grins.
Eronderl says, "Bonus points if you include the old score board."
Kynlee starts chortling.
You grin.
Athias says, speaking to Eronderl, "Assuming you reset the scoreboard, yes."
Fjalar asks, speaking to Kynlee, "If Talon ReDoubt gets repo'd again, can you just make it a whorehouse to signify how often it changes hands?"
You furrow up your face and wince.
Kynlee begins chortling at Fjalar.
Eronderl laughs at Fjalar!
Kynlee says, "I could maybe make the front door a revolving door, or swinging door."
Kynlee rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Eronderl says, "Give the owner the option to CLEAN the scoreboard to reset it."
You say, "Jani won't give it up. She kept 3 active accounts when she was off playing Prime for over 10 years."
Alica exclaims, "Oh!"
Fjalar says, "Keeping an open account and actually logging in to pay the rent aren't the same thing."
Alica says, "In keeping with the smuggling them! A gambling chamber."
Eronderl says, "Rocky path to the entrance room.  Shack and outhouse."
Kynlee says, "How could we work the scoring into the landing room?  It'd freak me out if I entered my house and a couple dudes showed up with scorecards and left."
Eronderl says, "Outhouse flushes you to the smuggler area."
Athias says, "Not to mention, the rent for ten years... eesh."
Eronderl says, "A couple smugglers sitting there playing cards."
Eronderl says, "They score you when you land."
Fjalar says, "Couple of burghal gnomes/."
Fjalar says, "Housekeeping staff essentially."
A stiff breeze blows through from the direction of the bakery bringing with it the enticing smell of fresh baked goods.
Fjalar says, "Give you a score, then begrudgingly get back to their chores."
Kynlee nods slowly.
Kynlee points at Fjalar.
Kynlee exclaims, "Good idea!"
Nilandia chuckles.
Kynlee says, "Another excellent reason to have a house staff."
Kynlee nods.
Nilandia says, speaking to Fjalar, "Reminds me of the burghals at my place.  But then, they don't look like they hate being there."
Athias asks, "To score your plummet?"
Athias peers quizzically at Kynlee.
Kynlee nods at Athias.
Kynlee grins.
Alica says, "And they should comment on your form if the score was low."
Fjalar says, "They just hide it well."
Kynlee asks, "And heckle you?"
Alica nods at Kynlee.
You grin.
Kynlee snickers.
Nilandia says, "I like this idea more by the second."
Eronderl says, "They heckle you if you aren't the owner."
Kynlee snickers.
Athias says, speaking to Kynlee, "The staff's job is not to heckle you, it's there to do the crap that you don't want or are too lazy to do yourself."
You exclaim, "True. Otherwise... FIRED!"
Fjalar says, "They can do both."
Laethia seems to lose an aura of confidence.
Kynlee says, "So, that ties in with the heckling guests."
Kynlee nods.
Kynlee grins.
Kynlee says, "Sometimes, I might be too lazy to do it myself."
Kynlee grins.
Eronderl says, "And again if they aren't on the guest list, middle of darkstone bay."
Nilandia says, "And you can SWIM back for all they care."
Kynlee says, speaking to Eronderl, "You really like that bay."
The light blue glow leaves Ezic.
Kynlee chuckles.
Eronderl says, "I'd like to see it have some use."
Eronderl winks.
Through the small window you see a group of children who appear to be playing a game involving a blue cat, a small ball, and a top.  You can see no obvious rules but the children seem to be enjoying themselves.
Kynlee chuckles.
Kynlee asks, "Ok, so this 'landing' room, how do you envision it?"
Kynlee says, "Other than rather large."
Kynlee grins.
Alica asks, "What about shooting them out to the coastal cliffs like the catacombs do?"
Eronderl says, "Smugglers den."
Kynlee says, speaking to Alica, "We can set it up to drop them in various locations."
Eronderl says, "A pile of crates."
Eronderl says, "Maybe for the storage."
Fjalar says, "You could always have the gnomes move the landing cushion if it's not the owner...then toss the person out while they're stunned from the landing."
Kynlee begins chortling at Fjalar.
Kynlee asks, speaking to Eronderl, "Something like Sagan's?"
Eronderl says, "I haven't seen Sagans."
A stiff breeze blows through from the direction of the bakery bringing with it the enticing smell of fresh baked goods.
Kynlee ponders.
Eronderl asks, "I mean do we want the underground area to be really nice or a rough smugglers den?"
Athias removes a n'ayanad crystal from in his silk pack.
Alica's blue phoenix tattoo appears bored with its surroundings.
Athias offers Eronderl a n'ayanad crystal.
Eronderl accepts Athias's n'ayanad crystal.
Eronderl turns to Athias and cheers!
Eronderl put a n'ayanad crystal in his crimson leather haversack.
Athias says, speaking to Eronderl, "Not sure why I just thought of that now, but whatever."
Eronderl says, "Appreciate it."
Kynlee says, "Sagan's is in Prime, just south of the small park.  But it's hidden, so you'd have to look around a bit.  It's a memorial area for Sagan.  Nice little place."
Fjalar says, "Ok, I have to get going."
Fjalar says, "Sounds like you have a plan though, or at least some good ideas."
Alica says, "I was thinking a good place to draw from was the FWI property in Zul Logoth. It's nice but clearly underground."
Kynlee exclaims, speaking to Fjalar, "Thank you for coming.  Please feel free to email me if you have more ideas!"
Fjalar waves.
Fjalar just went through the entrance.
Lord Ezic just went through the entrance.
Kynlee says, "It's always possible to make the rooms nicer the further into the property you get, too."
Alica nods at Kynlee.
Eronderl says, "Well we've already got entrance, shack, outhouse."
Alica no longer bristles with energy.
Eronderl says, "Landing room."
Kynlee exclaims, "I've been in some homes where the living room/den was average, but you get in the master bathroom and it's like ZOMG!"
Kynlee grins.
A small but colorful butterfly drifts into the room through the open window.  It flits about the room, finally coming to rest on the display case for a moment before continuing on its way.
Kynlee says, "The outhouse type thing could be written into the entry script to the lower areas, most likely, so we wouldn't have to count that as an actual room."
Nilandia says, "Honestly, if you make the first room an outhouse, you could justify making that public, rather than part of the property."
You say, "That'd be better."
You nod at Kynlee.
Eronderl says, "Well maybe the landing room is just a rough hewn cave."
Kynlee says, "It could be more messaging, like, 'You open the door and enter the outhouse.  Blah Blah description of the room.  You sit down, pull the chain, move on down.  Literally.'."
Eronderl says, "There's a tunnel that leads out to near the docks."
Alica says, "A large cavern with tunnels leading to the various rooms."
Eronderl asks, "Maybe a tunnel room in between or something you have to crawl through?"
Alica says, "Crates stacked in the corner for storage."
You say, "Doesn't have to be a room. Just "crawl" for the out verb from your nice interior to the docks."
Eronderl says, "I was thinking from the landing room to the docks."
Kynlee nods slowly.
Eronderl says, "And have maybe a sturdy door in the landing room."
Eronderl says, "Also lockable with the rusty key from the shack."
Alica says, "There should be a talking parrot to do the heckling."
Kynlee chuckles.
You laugh out loud!
Eronderl says, "That leads to the living area."
You nod at Alica.
Eronderl asks, "Maybe two rooms.  A main living area and a bedroom?"
Nilandia chuckles.
Alica says, "I'm just tossing ideas."
You say, "I like that."
Nilandia exclaims, speaking to Alica, "I like that, too!"
Kynlee asks, "Or a monkey in a top hat that sits there and does the scoring and throws things at you, instead of heckling?"
Kynlee snickers.
Nilandia says, speaking to Kynlee, "And we all know what monkeys throw."
You say, "A parrot would fit with the pirate/smuggler theme."
Kynlee agrees with Nilandia.
Eronderl says, "Bonus points if it's an undead monkey."
Kynlee says, "I could see a pirate/smuggler wanting a hidden escape exit to the bay."
Eronderl appears to be trying hard not to grin.
Kynlee chuckles.
Nilandia says, "Maybe even their own private dock somewhere."
Lifting its beak, a nightingale whistles a few soft, twittering notes before falling silent.
Alica chuckles.
You ask, "So maybe the lounge room could be full of ill-gotten booty piled all over, and then a bedroom?"
A stiff breeze blows through from the direction of the bakery bringing with it the enticing smell of fresh baked goods.
Alica says, "A few cases of some nice liquors."
Kynlee nods.
You say, "A pile of silvers you can swim in."
You giggle.
Kynlee exclaims, "Yes, must have food and drinks!"
Alica starts chuckling at you!
Kynlee starts chortling.
Alica says, "That would be a POOL of silvers."
Alica nods.
Ephelysse nods.
Ephelysse gives Laethia a friendly hug.
Nilandia asks, "You know, I wonder how close this is going to be to the tower down in River's Rest.  Do we really need two smuggling-based private properties?"
Kynlee says, "Why just silvers?  Why not toss in some gold coins?  Maybe little tradebars."
Laethia hugs Ephelysse, who wraps her in a warm embrace.
Laethia just went through the entrance.
Athias asks, "Have you not seen family guy?"
You nod at Kynlee.
Athias asks, "Have you not seen peter try to jump into a pool of gold coins?"
Alica says, "I don't know. I think the concept is neat, but it would not be well suited for Alica for example."
Kynlee says, "I haven't seen that episode."
Kynlee frowns.
Kynlee chuckles.
Athias says, "We are not scrooge McDuck."
Alica grins at Athias.
Kynlee asks, "Ok, then how about a big ol' pile of coins you could play with?"
You say, "Not every property is suited for everyone. That's where a bit of personalization allowed is good."
Kynlee asks, "Run your fingers through, count them, stack them, just mess with them in general?"
Alica asks, "A treasure chest you can interact with?"
Kynlee nods at Alica.
Kynlee says, "Something like that."
Athias says, speaking to Kynlee, "That would be acceptable, except what if you're running low on cash."
Kynlee says, "We can do a lot with ezscripts."
Athias says, "Would it have to be your own coins, for example."
Alica says, "Well then the issue is you can't find a reliable fence."
Kynlee says, speaking to Athias, "Oh, they aren't real coins you could actually take, or use.  Just a prop with messaging."
Alica nods at Athias.
You say, "That's where your rent money goes."
You grin at Athias.
Athias says, "I get that, but I'm saying - that doesn't make sense."
Athias says, "If I have coins on this table, why can I not use them as though they were real."
Alica says, "Because they are rare stolen coins."
Kynlee says, "You'd get busted for using stolen money."
Kynlee nods slowly.
Athias looks over at Alica and shakes his head.
You say, ">get coins."
You exclaim, ">You really wouldn't want to be seen with those on you!"
Eronderl says, "It's just a prop.  Suspension of disbelief."
Kynlee says, "Ask Eronderl about his fishing pole."
Kynlee hums a disjointed, angry little tune.
Kynlee says, "Or wait, don't."
Kynlee grins.
You say, "It doesn't make a lot of sense that I never pee or change clothes or..."
You say, "I mean in game."
You stare at nothing in particular.
Athias asks, speaking to Eronderl, "You can't catch fish, can you?"
Alica chuckles.
A stray ray of light comes through the window and reflects off the glass of the display case directly into your eyes.
Eronderl says, "No."
Eronderl says, "I've begged for her to stock the fishing hole for me."
Athias says, "It's okay, I understand... I licked my finger once, stuck it in a pool, and all the fish just rose to the surface dead."
Kynlee chuckles.
Athias says, "Apparently electrocuting them kills them."
Kynlee says, speaking to Athias, "Yeah, they don't like that much."
Athias nods at Kynlee.
Eronderl says, "So rough hewn cave with piles of crates and what not."
Athias says, "You could have silvers from the turamyzzian (or whatever it is called) empire."
Eronderl says, "Maybe a card table to sit around with some chairs."
Alica says, "And tunnels that go in other directions."
Kynlee nods at Athias.
You ask, "Luxuriously appointed bedroom?"
Eronderl says, "I'd like to see two rooms for the living area."
Athias says, "At least those wouldn't be accepted here."
Nilandia says, speaking to Athias, "Very close.  Turamzzyrian."
Eronderl asks, "Maybe a really nice "office" and a bed room?"
You say, "Yeah, a working poker table would be neat."
Alica asks, "Oh..what if choosing the wrong tunnel is what boots you?"
Kynlee says, "Could have a mixture of coins from different places, yet all still worthless here."
Athias says, speaking to Nilandia, "I knew someone would know what I was talking about."
Nilandia says, speaking to Athias, "Yeah, the lore whore over here."
Nilandia points at herself.
A stiff breeze blows through from the direction of the bakery bringing with it the enticing smell of fresh baked goods.
Kynlee asks, "What about a kitchen/pantry type area?"
You realize there are some important matters you should tend to . . . later.
Nilandia says, speaking to Kynlee, "Might make the script on the coins how you let them run through your fingers with a tinge of disappointment, knowing you can't do a thing with them."
Kynlee agrees with Nilandia.
Eronderl says, "I'd like to see the food/drink in a couple crates or chests or whatever of rare delicacies."
The shimmering multicolored sphere fades from around Alica.
Athias says, speaking to Kynlee, "Water that you can shake and have it turn into wine."
Alica nods at Eronderl.
You say, speaking to Athias, "Sure, Jesus."
You nod.
You giggle.
Alica says, "And the food might could be the part that is player chosen."
Eronderl says, "Oh the food and drink should always be player chosen imo."
You say, speaking to Alica, "That usually is."
You nod.
Kynlee says, speaking to Alica, "I was just going to bring that up."
Athias says, speaking to you, "I could always take after craig, and have it turn into cold coors light."
Kynlee grins.
You chortle.
Alica says, "That would be the customizing part..maybe adding a heckle would be allowed too."
Alica says, "To make it fun for the new owner."
Alica's blue phoenix tattoo glances around in ennui as it shuffles around in place.
Kynlee says, "As it will be, basically, a new property, I'd like to let the owner decide on most, if not all, the food/drinks."
Alica nods at Kynlee.
You agree with Kynlee.
Athias asks, speaking to Alica, "Your mother was a hamster?"
Eronderl says, "I'd say a some crates or boxes or whatever with the food."
A small but colorful butterfly drifts into the room through the open window.  It flits about the room, finally coming to rest on the display case for a moment before continuing on its way.
Eronderl says, "And another container for the drinks."
Nilandia says, "And father smellt of elderberries."
Eronderl says, "Obviously something that was being shipped."
Alica asks, "A cask?"
Kynlee asks, "Like a makeshift bar?"
The glowing specks of energy surrounding Alica suddenly shoot off in all directions, then quickly fade away.
Alica asks, "A barrel of rum?"
You say, speaking to Eronderl, "I like the idea; however, it's not all that practical. A crate of fresh-cooked lobster or a box of steaming rice doesn't really work."
Eronderl says, "Hmm good point."
Kynlee says, speaking to you, "But!  If you add mood messaging about the house staff replenishing it, it could work."
Alica grins.
Alica nods at Kynlee.
You say, "Oh, or giving the raw tail to staff to cook. Hm. Great point."
Eronderl points at you!
The brilliant luminescence fades from around Alica.
Eronderl says, "You pick some sort of raw food that's being shipped and they run off to cook it."
Eronderl asks, "There's a minute wait and they come back and hand you cooked food?"
Eronderl says, speaking to Kynlee, "You don't need sleep.  Just keep coding."
Kynlee stares at Eronderl.
A small but colorful butterfly drifts into the room through the open window.  It flits about the room, finally coming to rest on the display case for a moment before continuing on its way.
Kynlee exclaims, "I'm already working on coding something fabulous!"
Kynlee folds her arms over her chest.
Alica says, "And the owner would then give the dishes they want and the raw ingredients would be the choices for those dishes."
Kynlee points at Zoelle.
Kynlee says, "Ask her."
Kynlee says, "She knows a little about it."
Kynlee grins.
Zoelle starts chortling.
Alica waves to Zoelle.
Zoelle gives Kynlee a friendly prod against the back.
Zoelle waves to Alica.
Kynlee snickers.
Alica says, speaking to Zoelle, "I'm asking."
You ask, speaking to Zoelle, "So what's Kynlee working on?"
Alica nods at Zoelle.
You raise an eyebrow in Zoelle's direction.
Zoelle says, "I don't know if I can say."
Alica grins.
Alica's jaw drops.
Kynlee chuckles.
Zoelle says, "But I want it."
You exclaim, "She just said you could!"
Athias says, speaking to Zoelle, "Probably not."
Athias says, "She didn't actually say she could, she just said she knows about it."
Kynlee exclaims, "I said it was fabulous, ask her!"
Kynlee exclaims, "I didn't say ask her what the script does!"
Kynlee snickers.
You stick out your tongue.
Alica stares off into space.
Zoelle chuckles.
Athias asks, speaking to Zoelle, "Is it bigger than a breadbox?"
Nilandia says, speaking to Kynlee, "If we're going with giving ingredients to a cook to make a final dish, you might want to plunder the code from one of the islands in Mist Harbor.  You can pick vegetables and give them to a chef, who then makes things for you.  Some recipes take multiples of ingredients to make."
Kynlee starts chortling.
You groan at Athias.
Eronderl asks, speaking to Zoelle, "Is it fabulous?"
Zoelle says, speaking to Athias, "Yes."
Zoelle says, speaking to Eronderl, "It's better than fabulous."
Alica asks, "Does it store things?"
Alica peers quizzically at Zoelle.
Zoelle ponders.
Alica says, "Since she loves storage."
Alica glances at Kynlee.
Alica says, "I was paying attention."
Alica nods at Kynlee.
Kynlee asks, "If there's going to be theoretical cooking, do we need a kitchen/pantry area?  With a stove and sink, etc?"
Zoelle says, "Sort of, but not in way you're thinking."
You say, "Give them a potato and an onion and they come back with hashbrowns. Give them a chocolate and a lobster tail and they come back with a disgusting mess."
You grin.
You exclaim, "Top Chef Gemstone Style!"
You hoot.
Kynlee starts chortling.
A stiff breeze blows through from the direction of the bakery bringing with it the enticing smell of fresh baked goods.
Nilandia says, speaking to Kynlee, "The Isle of Shells, it's called, where you have the cook.  She also cooks clams that you can dig up on the beach."
Eronderl says, "We're going to need you to rewrite alchemy but with food."
Zoelle says, "Oh I heard a rumor about that."
Eronderl says, "Just for this property."
Zoelle says, "But it's all I can say."
Kynlee asks, "Hand them a pile of vegetables and they throw them away and hand you a steak?"
A shaft of scintillating light suddenly pierces the ceiling and strikes the ground next to you.  The beam of light then explodes in a shower of sparks and Tamuz is standing in its place.
Tamuz says, "3 steaks."
You ask, speaking to Zoelle, "Rewriting alchemy?"
Kynlee turns to Tamuz and cheers!
Alica grins.
Nilandia begins chuckling at Tamuz!
Zoelle looks over at you and shakes her head.
Zoelle says, speaking to you, "Oh nothing with alchemy."
Eronderl says, "There you go, make Tamuz code it."
Alica chuckles.
Alica waves to Tamuz.
Tamuz stares at Eronderl.
You grin.
Tamuz asks, speaking to Eronderl, "You want me to abandon this amazing combat-related project I'm coding... for food?"
Tamuz asks, "That you don't even need to eat to survive?"
You grin.
Athias says, speaking to Tamuz, "Yes."
Eronderl says, speaking to Tamuz, "Every other GM who takes on thrown weapons quits so we're trying to save you."
You giggle at Eronderl.
You say, "So as for kitchen or pantry... I don't see myself spending any time in one. Can't speak for anyone else. I just don't think it would be well used."
Nilandia asks, speaking to Tamuz, "You're not coding the premium home overhaul, are you?"
Alica seems a bit less imposing.
You say, "Do enough of that at home."
You grumble.
Nilandia exclaims, speaking to Tamuz, "That's a death sentence!"
Kynlee nods slowly at Athias.
Alica whistles tunelessly to herself.
A stray ray of light comes through the window and reflects off the glass of the display case directly into your eyes.
Eronderl says, speaking to Nilandia, "They'll give that to Varulv."
Tamuz says, "Nah, my solution for premium homes is to ignore them."
Alica winces.
You nod at Tamuz.
Alica sighs.
Kynlee grins at Athias.
Alica's blue phoenix tattoo seems to grow increasingly more restless as it mills about.  Finally, it gathers itself and disappears into one of her suede mid-calf boots.
Eronderl says, "So crappy shack, outhouse bath house script entry."
Alica is no longer protected by the shimmering field of energy.
Eronderl says, "Entry room with crates of raw food you can have cooked."
Kynlee says, "I think, for now, a whole cooking system would take way too long to develope and get in this property.  Maybe a few simple things in a script would work, but not a whole system."
Nilandia traces a sign while petitioning the spirits for cognition...
Nilandia gestures.
You nod at Kynlee.
Kynlee says, "I want this place released in the next several months.  Developing a new system would take a lot longer than that."
Eronderl says, "Perhaps a couple rare meats you can have cooked."
Kynlee says, "And then Tamuz would have to QC it.."
Nilandia says, "Maybe we can put the system in a restaurant somewhere."
Eronderl says, "And them some fruits or veggies."
A shaft of scintillating light suddenly pierces the ceiling and strikes the ground next to you.  The beam of light then explodes in a shower of sparks and Aulis is standing in its place.
Alica says, "I think simple is good. All you have to do is tie the raw food to the finished items."
You say, "We were mostly joking I think. Although we do need some way to easyscript things from a box coming back as owner-designed food."
Kynlee turns to Aulis and cheers!
Tamuz joins Aulis's group.
Aulis exclaims, "EVERYONE DIES!"
Alica chuckles.
Kynlee grins at Athias.
Tamuz exclaims, speaking to Aulis, "EVERYONE LIVES!"
You join Aulis.
You giggle.
Kynlee exclaims, "BOTH!"
Alica nods to Aulis in greeting.
Kynlee nods at Tamuz.
Aulis starts chortling.
Eronderl exclaims, "Make Aulis QC it!"
Zoelle glances at Aulis.
Aulis is the leader of your group.
Tamuz is also a member of your group.
Zoelle joins Kynlee's group.
Zoelle exclaims, "Buddy system!"
Aulis starts chortling.
Kynlee asks, "So, you go to the buther shop in Solhaven, bring back raw meat, hand it to the house gnome, and boom!  Yummy juicy steak?"
A stray ray of light comes through the window and reflects off the glass of the display case directly into your eyes.
Nilandia says, speaking to Aulis, "Just for that, you're QC'ing the overhauls of thrown weapons and premium homes."
Kynlee starts chortling.
You leave Aulis's group.
You join Kynlee.
Zoelle says, speaking to you, "Nope, She's my buddy."
Aulis asks, speaking to Nilandia, "You REALLY want me QC'ing DEV stuff?"
Aulis gulps.
You pout.
Zoelle says, speaking to you, "You need to pick someone else."
[Cerulean's, Front Room - 4]
The front room of this fine establishment is sparsely furnished.  A small window looks out on the shacks and hovels of the poorest residents of Wehnimer's Landing, a stark contrast to the obvious wealth of this shop's owner.  The walls and ceiling are painted a soothing sky-blue, creating a peaceful atmosphere in which to perform business transactions.  The wall behind the counter has been painted with an amazing fresco which draws your attention.  You also see the arctic blue Alica disk, the earth brown Athias disk, the entrance with a small brass dial on it, a display case with a blue steel knob on it and a blue silk curtain.
Also here: GameMaster Aulis, GameMaster Tamuz, GameMaster Zoelle, Nilandia, Great Lord Eronderl, Lady Alica, Seeress Ephelysse, Athias, GameMaster Kynlee
Obvious exits: none
Alica chuckles.
Nilandia says, speaking to Aulis, "Hey, you earned it by trying to kill us."
Zoelle grins.
Eronderl says, speaking to Nilandia, "He's not worried.  He won't ever have to QC anything at this rate."
Athias asks, speaking to Nilandia, "You don't like the idea of giantkins hurling claidhmores?"
You say, "No, the steak would be in cold boxes as booty, Kynlee."
Athias says, "I hear its quite entertaining."
Nilandia says, speaking to Athias, "I've seen that.  Never again."
Alica becomes solid again.
Tamuz removes a PLAT ONLY bag from in his boarhide pack.
Tamuz sniffs at his PLAT ONLY bag.
Kynlee ponders.
Zoelle takes a drink from her pink-colored lemonade.
Tamuz shows Aulis his PLAT ONLY bag.
Alica chuckles.
Tamuz put a PLAT ONLY bag in his boarhide pack.
Aulis asks, speaking to Tamuz, "That's for bodies, right?"
You give your eyebrow a little workout.
Kynlee asks, speaking to you, "Both options?  Fresh or frozen?"
Kynlee grins.
Tamuz says, speaking to Aulis, "I can neither confirm nor deny."
You chuckle.
Eronderl says, speaking to Kynlee, "Maybe a rhimar chest with meats if the owner wants meat dishes that could be cooked and a box of fruits and veggies for other stuff."
You say, "The main point would be that the boxes and crates somehow contain something one could make into lovely owner-customized food. However that works, if it even would."
Alica says, "I think just you take whatever the food dishes are and then they select a raw ingredient and then the dish arrives cooked."
Alica says, "That's a pretty simple script."
Kynlee begins chuckling at Alica!
Eronderl says, "Selecting a lobster gets you the lobster tail they want."
Alica says, "Relatively speaking."
Alica grins at Kynlee.
Eronderl says, "Selecting a raw rolten steak gets you the filet mignon they want."
Kynlee says, "They often sound simple... until you bork something.  Or someone.  Or crash the entire instance."
Athias says, "You could have an actual garden in the back, with the chef like thing that nilandia was talking about."
Kynlee hums a disjointed, angry little tune.
Alica says, "Though it would have to be rewritten whenever the house changed hands."
You say, ">give lobster box to Emeril."
Athias says, "Or perhaps even if it's underground, have some magical lamps that help the plants grow inside."
You chuckle.
Eronderl says, "C'mon Alica with everything we're getting put into this the house will never change hands."
Tamuz says, "What if I select a gnome, what do I get."
Alica smiles.
Eronderl says, "She's going to have to auction it for billions to cover the time she's putitng into it."
Kynlee says, speaking to Tamuz, "Jerky."
Aulis says, speaking to Tamuz, "Everything is bite-sized."
Tamuz looks thoughtfully at Kynlee.
Nilandia chuckles to herself.
Tamuz says, speaking to Kynlee, "I like it."
You say, "We're not growing food! It's pirate booty."
You fold your arms over your chest.
The bright luminescence fades from around Alica.
Kynlee snickers.
Kynlee says, "You said booty."
You chuckle at Kynlee.
Athias says, speaking to Tamuz, "Gnomes don't have enough meat to be tasty."
Kynlee says, "Ok, let's move on to the bedroom."
You say, "... and then we could have a ranch with cows, and a butcher's office, and a dry aging room..."
Seeress Ephelysse just went through the entrance.
You gaze heavenward.
Kynlee looks thoughtfully at Tamuz.
Kynlee agrees with Tamuz.
Nilandia exclaims, speaking to Kynlee, "Now there's a segue.  "You said booty.  Now let's talk about the bedroom!"
Tamuz nods at Kynlee.
Kynlee chuckles.
Kynlee begins chortling at Nilandia.
You laugh out loud!
Eronderl says, speaking to Kynlee, "BUt we don't know eachother that well."
Kynlee says, speaking to Nilandia, "Ya liked that, did ya."
Alica asks, "Dimly lit? with a natural heat source for warmth?"
A small but colorful butterfly drifts into the room through the open window.  It flits about the room, finally coming to rest on the display case for a moment before continuing on its way.
Nilandia says, "My inner twelve year old is happy."
Nilandia flashes a wide grin.
Talryssa just came through the entrance.
Talryssa waves.
Nilandia waves to Talryssa.
Athias asks, speaking to Kynlee, "Is this assuming under or above ground?"
Kynlee says, speaking to Athias, "Under."
Eronderl says, "It's a bedroom.  It's got a bed."
Alica says, "I am assuming its all underground."
Athias says, "What about a hanging bed."
Talryssa softly says, "Sorry I'm late, first time I slept since I fractured my vertebrae Wednesday."
Kynlee says, "I think we decided that the only above ground room would be the shack."
Alica asks, "A shelf carved from the wall?"
Eronderl says, "With the outhouse."
Kynlee glances over at Talryssa and winces.
Athias says, "I'd like something hanging from the ceiling."
Aulis says, speaking to Talryssa, "You need more survival training.  You won't slip as much."
Talryssa says, speaking softly to Aulis, "Or less snow and ice in Florida."
Talryssa nods enthusiastically!
Kynlee asks, speaking to Athias, "Like a banana hammock type deal?"
Nilandia stares at Kynlee.
Athias says, "I wasn't thinking something that small, but yes."
Nilandia exclaims, "You did not just say that!"
Alica says, "Oh the stone should have what in granite is called 'movement'."
Kynlee stares at Nilandia.
Zoelle snickers.
Nilandia begins to giggle, then bursts out in a silly laugh.
Talryssa says, speaking softly to Kynlee, "I hear Athias is big fans of banana hammocks."
Kynlee says, speaking to Nilandia, "You have a very dirty mind."
Nilandia says, speaking to Kynlee, "Hey, you said it first."
The glowing specks of energy surrounding Nilandia suddenly shoot off in all directions, then quickly fade away.
Kynlee says, "Mine was totally innocuous."
Athias asks, speaking to Talryssa, "Would you like to see my banana hammock?"
Kynlee nods.
Kynlee appears to be trying hard not to grin.
Nilandia knowingly says, "I'm sure."
Through the small window you see a group of children who appear to be playing a game involving a blue cat, a small ball, and a top.  You can see no obvious rules but the children seem to be enjoying themselves.
Athias says, "It hangs low and wobbles left and right."
Kynlee says, speaking to Athias, "If there's going to be show and tell, I'll have to find a stripper pole."
Alica grins.
Athias says, speaking to Kynlee, "Been there, done that."
Kynlee snickers.
Alica says, "That would fit in the bedroom theme."
Aulis sings:
"Can you tie it in a knot?  Can you tie it in a bow?"
Athias says, speaking to Aulis, "Why would you want to? owww."
Aulis says, speaking to Athias, "Mularosian."
Kynlee asks, "Ok, so, hammock or a hewn out sleeping niche for a bed?"
You say, speaking to Kynlee, "Stripper pole in the bedroom then? Sounds good."
You nod firmly.
Kynlee snickers.
Alica grins.
Kynlee says, "And the house gnomes dance on it?  Awesome."
Eronderl says, "A king sized bed made of expensive wood with expensive sheets and a scripted NPC bed mate of whatever gender the owner chooses."
Alica says, "A thin stone column."
Alica nods to you.
Athias says, "I was thinking not a hammock, but a full-size bed hanging from the ceiling by four chains."
You say, "If one has booty, one should have a bootiful bedroom."
Kynlee exclaims, "Ah!"
Kynlee nods.
Eronderl says, "Bed slave."
Eronderl says, "Part of the loot."
Eronderl says, "Enjoy writing those scripts Kynlee."
Talryssa softly says, "I thought Kynlee already covered that with house gnomes."
You glance at Eronderl.
Kynlee chuckles.
Athias says, "If the chains are in close enough, you can make the bed move around all silly and it's fun."
A small but colorful butterfly drifts into the room through the open window.  It flits about the room, finally coming to rest on the display case for a moment before continuing on its way.
Eronderl says, "No that's the stripper pole."
Kynlee ponders.
Eronderl exclaims, "You can make the bed move around with the bed slave!"
Eronderl says, "I'll stop."
Kynlee asks, "Would this hanging bed decend from the ceiling if you flipped a switch?"
Kynlee asks, "And then you flip the switch again and it goes out of sight again?"
You say, "Way '70s porny."
Athias says, speaking to Kynlee, "You could do that."
Alica asks, "What about under the floor?"
Kynlee ponders.
Alica says, "Above it is shanty town."
Eronderl says, "Oooo."
Kynlee exclaims, speaking to Alica, "We can be deep underground!"
Eronderl says, "Have the liquor selection in the bedroom in a bar."
Eronderl says, "You flip the switch and the bar goes away and the bed comes out."
Kynlee asks, "So, you want a section of the floor to what, flip around and BOOM!  There's the bed?"
You ask, "What about just lush piles of velvet blankets and silk pillows? Instead of an actual bed?"
Athias says, speaking to Alica, "You do realize that you can have stairs go down far enough that you actually leave space between the ceiling and the ground floor above you."
Alica says, "Not flip, maybe slide away."
Athias says, "Another foot of space is just two steps."
Talryssa softly says, "It would be funnier though, if you had to always duck in your bed room."
Eronderl exclaims, "Bar bed!"
Vyrshkana just came through the entrance.
Kynlee says, speaking to you, "Usually we use a script on bed that make it so you can add blankets and sheets and interract with those.  You can make the bed, straighten the blankets, things like that."
A stiff breeze blows through from the direction of the bakery bringing with it the enticing smell of fresh baked goods.
You say, speaking to Eronderl, "That sounds too much like it's soaked in whiskey, urine, and barf."
Kynlee says, "We don't have to use those scripts, but it's just what people seem to prefer."
Vyrshkana stares off into space.
Alica says, "The scipts are what makes it special."
Kynlee adopts an agreeable expression.
Kynlee waves to Vyrshkana.
Alica says, "And special is always good."
Talryssa softly says, "Fair warning, incoming silliness in approximately 20 minutes."
You ask, speaking to Kynlee, "Could you do that with just piles of blankets and pillows?"
Alica blinks.
Kynlee asks, "Hidden bar?  A section of the wall slides back to reveal the alcoholic in all of us?"
Zoelle starts chortling.
Athias agrees with Kynlee.
You raise your hand.
Vyrshkana blinks.
Alica chuckles.
You say, "Recovering."
Vyrshkana scratches her head.
You hang your head.
Athias says, "You should just have a blank room, with nothing but a row of switches on the wall."
Alica asks, "Or a hidden niche for storage there?"
Kynlee says, speaking to you, "I don't think you can.  The script looks for a specific guild, which is used on the beds, but isn't used on the blankets and pillows."
Alica asks, "Since the crates are really for the food and drink?"
You nod at Kynlee.
You say, "K."
Talryssa softly says, "Also, if you have an unlimited bar, expect an univited female dwarf roommate."
Athias says, "Have the dresser, bed, minibar, and whatever else you feel like pop out from the sides when you flip the switches."
The shimmering multicolored sphere fades from around you.
Talryssa softly says, "Jus tthrowing that out there."
Talryssa softly says, "She doesn't bathe often either."
Kynlee chuckles.
Nilandia says, "Have to admit, things coming out of the walls with the flick of a switch seems a bit much."
You exclaim, "Oh! Bedroom storage could be under the mattress!"
You chortle.
Eronderl exclaims, "Female dwarf NPC bedmate with the bar bed!"
Athias says, "But, just to mess with people, put all of the switches behind a sad clown picture."
Kynlee ponders.
Alica rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Kynlee says, "I could see a smuggler/thief type person keeping things in hidden places."
A stiff breeze blows through from the direction of the bakery bringing with it the enticing smell of fresh baked goods.
You say, "Like under a mattress."
You nod.
Kynlee grins.
Eronderl says, "Ooo make the storage a hidden wall safe."
Athias says, "So, you walk into this room, and all you see is emptiness and a sad clown picture hanging on one wall."
Kynlee chuckles.
Vyrshkana stares at Athias.
Vyrshkana covers her eyes with her hands.
You say, speaking to Eronderl, "That's been done. Mayor's again I think."
Talryssa softly says, "You know... I know most of this stuff is being thrown around in jest, but... Kynlee's creativity scares me. This might for reals happen."
Talryssa softly exclaims, "Oh!"
Athias says, speaking to Vyrshkana, "Don't lie, you'd love it."
Talryssa softly asks, "Speaking of... I have 2 of you same GM's here now. Where's my puppy?"
Kynlee tickles Talryssa.
Vyrshkana pokes Athias in the ribs.
Kynlee says, speaking to Talryssa, "Sauli ate it."
Eronderl asks, "Vibrator bed?"
Talryssa sobs.
Zoelle says, "You mean burned it."
Aulis says, "Sauli doesn't eat puppies.  He just burns them alive."
Talryssa says, speaking softly to Kynlee, "Not fair, you made me gasp IRL and it hurt."
You say, "Very '70s porny."
Kynlee says, "That's a waste of freshly cooked meat."
You shake your head, clucking your tongue.
Kynlee says, speaking to Talryssa, "My bad."
Kynlee shuffles her feet.
Talryssa grins.
Talryssa softly says, "It's okay."
Eronderl says, "It'd go well with the heckling gnomes on the stripper pole."
Talryssa softly says, "Meds should kick in soon."
Kynlee says, "Just throwing this out there, but this won't end up being a Hugh Heffner-ish place."
Kynlee grins.
Alica chuckles.
Vyrshkana stares at Eronderl.
You say, "So have we given you all some great ideas? I can't stay too much longer and would like to talk general properties for a couple of minutes."
Kynlee exclaims, "This has been a very informative session!"
Kynlee nods.
Kynlee grins.
Athias says, speaking to you, "I made a reference at work yesterday about a '70's porn... Only two people got it and everyone else spent several hours trying to google it until they figured it out."
A stiff breeze blows through from the direction of the bakery bringing with it the enticing smell of fresh baked goods.
You chuckle at Athias.
Alica shakes her head at Athias and clucks her tongue.
Talryssa says, speaking softly to Athias, "I imagine your IT department was going "WHY ARE THEY ALL LOOKING UP PORN???"."
Athias says, speaking to Talryssa, "We are the IT department."
Alica pokes Athias in the ribs.
Aulis asks, speaking to Talryssa, "I thought that's what IT departments do all the time anyway?"
Eronderl says, "I think you can come up with something from here."
Talryssa laughs!
You smirk.
Kynlee says, "I want to bring up one other thing really quick.  I want to get some sort of system set up that will reward those of you who keep your properties for a while.  Upgrades, customizations, etc.  It's still in a very rough phase, but if you have specific things you'd like to see available, please let me know."
You let out a cheer!
Alica smiles.
Alica says, "Very nice."
Alica agrees with Kynlee.
J>'Scripted things. 
You say, "Scripted things."
Please rephrase that command.
Eronderl says, "Premium upgrades."
Aulis exclaims, "Teleporters!"
Kynlee pinches Aulis!
You say, "Things to play with."
Eronderl says, "Like workshops and such."
Alica asks, "What about revamping menus and such?"
You say, speaking to Aulis, "You remain homeless, sorry."
You lean on Aulis.
Nilandia says, speaking to Kynlee, "I do appreciate that.  I'd love to give my property my own personal touch."
Kynlee says, "I don't expect anything like workshops or summoning chambers, no."
Talryssa softly asks, "Well, I do like both upgrades and customizations. I think a whole year is a bit much just to allow the foods to be changed. Maybe something staggered out?"
Aulis exclaims, speaking to you, "I just live in everyone else's home.  You don't even know I'm there!"
You nod.
Eronderl asks, "Fishing holes stocked?"
You chuckle at Aulis.
Vyrshkana begins to twitch.
You ask, speaking to Aulis, "Unless we have a blacklight?"
You duck your head.
Aulis says, "...damn, never thought about that."
Athias says, speaking to Kynlee, "You could do them almost like premium homes, then allow them to be upgraded over time."
Talryssa softly says, "Like... 6 months you can change the food items, 9 months 1 furniture item, 1 year 1-2 furniture items OR an upgrade, 18 mos, 2-3 furniture items OR an upgrade, etc."
You say, "Or whatever those CSI guys use..."
Kynlee says, "Just send me whatever ideas you have.  But I'd like to see script additions, room description tweaks, container alteration, food changes, things like that added."
Kynlee nods.
Athias says, "You start out with a Blank 4-room place that has generic furnishment."
You nod.
Alica chuckles.
Eronderl says, "Additional storage."
You say, "Agreedd Kynlee."
Through the small window you see a group of children who appear to be playing a game involving a blue cat, a small ball, and a top.  You can see no obvious rules but the children seem to be enjoying themselves.
You say, "Not agreed, Athias."
Kynlee says, "But I also want it to be set up so that any changes you make, revert back if the place is repossessed."
Alica nods at Kynlee.
Nilandia says, speaking to Kynlee, "I take it an additional room is out of the picture, then."
Alica says, "Good thinking."
Athias says, speaking to Kynlee, "Dungeon, to torture those stupid kids."
You say, "That would be nice. Then we could get more specific with our customizations."
Kynlee says, speaking to Nilandia, "Not entirely."
Nilandia exclaims, speaking to Kynlee, "You have my attention!"
Kynlee chuckles.
Eronderl says, "Additional roomes."
Alica exclaims, "Paintings!"
Eronderl says, "The ability to sail my barge to other towns with water."
Vyrshkana stares at Eronderl.
Kynlee says, "Anything you can think of that you would like to see, email me.  It doesn't hurt to ask, and it's hard to try and figure out what you want, or what you don't want."
Aulis says, "After five years Keios gets to script your home!  I mean...she's going to kill me..."
You say, "Honestly, I think homes should come without workshops at all and allow those to be a long-term perk. Although the workshop owners already would disagree I'm sure."
Eronderl says, speaking to you, "Fire, die in it."
Athias says, speaking to you, "I'm not talking blank blank, I just mean - If someone has a home for like 5 years it should basically be their home."
Eronderl grins.
Kynlee chuckles.
You stare at nothing in particular.
Nilandia says, "Now I feel a little guilty.  I've had my property for almost 3 years and haven't done a thing with it."
Vyrshkana stares at Nilandia.
Nilandia adds, "Improvement-wise."
Athias says, speaking to you, "But until that point they're basically stuck with whatever the previous owner had, minus expansions, etc."
You say, "My food change (only thing) was allowed in Octoberish and I haven't done it yet. The food there is pretty awesome already, minus a few tweaks."
Eronderl says, "My food was custom when I got the property."
A small but colorful butterfly drifts into the room through the open window.  It flits about the room, finally coming to rest on the display case for a moment before continuing on its way.
Kynlee says, "So, send me ideas!  If you have an idea for a super neat script for some item in your home, let me know.  If you have always wanted a painting in your living room, let me know."
Kynlee says, "The more I can add to this list, the better the system will be, and the more options you will have and more things to look forward to."
You say, "And thinking it was my only customization ever ever made it more important to think long and hard about it."
Talryssa exclaims, speaking softly to Kynlee, "MOre homes!"
Vyrshkana nods.
Alica's blue phoenix tattoo suddenly emerges from within her suede mid-calf boots and glides over to her ankle before settling down.
Talryssa softly says, "I need one."
Eronderl asks, "Should I send you let me fish or have we covered that to death?"
Vyrshkana mutters storage.
Talryssa softly exclaims, "Preferably one out in like Ocoma Vale or something so I can make it a farm!"
Alica asks, "So no more teasers on your awesome thing you are working on?"
Kynlee says, speaking to Eronderl, "I've got it written down."
Kynlee grins.
Zoelle smiles.
Alica peers quizzically at Kynlee.
Kynlee chuckles.
Nilandia asks, speaking to Kynlee, "Out of curiosity, my rent box is outside of my apartment, in the Aies in Ta'Illistim.  Does that mean the room outside my apartment is part of my property?"
You say, speaking to Talryssa, "She said three are abandoned, with one to go out soon and the other two not too long."
Talryssa softly says, "They're in Vaalor."
Talryssa waves.
Talryssa just went through the entrance.
Kynlee nods at Nilandia.
Nilandia says, "Huh.  I didn't know that."
Kynlee says, speaking to Nilandia, "That room is considered part of your property."
Alica smiles.
Eronderl says, "You can add a welcome mat."
You say, "So also could be customized? That's good to know."
Nilandia says, "So I actually might be able to fiddle with that if I wanted."
You chuckle at Eronderl.
Kynlee nods to you.
Vyrshkana asks, "Maybe some potted plants?"
Alica grins.
Kynlee nods at Nilandia.
You say, "Like my brother's--GO AWAY welcome mat."
Kynlee says, speaking to Vyrshkana, "That's doable."
Alica asks, "With flowers you can pick?"
Kynlee starts chuckling at you!
Nilandia says, speaking to Kynlee, "Thanks.  That gives me some more things to think on."
Aulis asks, speaking to Vyrshkana, "Pothinir grass?"
Kynlee says, speaking to Alica, "Some homes have flower gardens with pickable flowers.  And trees with pickable fruit."
You say, speaking to Alica, "Jaired has fruit trees."
Kynlee grins.
You smack your lips.
Alica chuckles.
Vyrshkana says, "Window box."
Vyrshkana says, "With herbs."
Vyrshkana says, "I'd like the option of having a kitchen."
Kynlee says, "All these ideas are great, and along the lines of what I'm looking for."
Through the small window you see a group of children who appear to be playing a game involving a blue cat, a small ball, and a top.  You can see no obvious rules but the children seem to be enjoying themselves.
Kynlee grins.
Vyrshkana says, "I have a spice rack in one of my lockers."
Eronderl says, "Working forge."
Vyrshkana says, "I want a wall I can hang it on."
Vyrshkana says, "Even if it's just scripted and doesn't actually change anything."
Kynlee nods.
You say, speaking to Vyrshkana, "That would be a good upgrade idea for length of ownership."
Vyrshkana says, "You  know they say the kitchen is the heart of a home."
Kynlee says, "I could make one of these little perks something like 'add an ezscript to a prop'."
Kynlee shrugs.
Vyrshkana says, "But I don't think I've ever seen a property actually HAVE a kitchen."
Vyrshkana says, "Table with food, yes."
Nilandia says, "I was thinking of asking for a new room that would make the sylvan in Nilandia feel more at home.  A mini-arboretum on the roof of the library, or the like."
Vyrshkana says, "Somewhere it might actually be made?  Nope."
Kynlee says, "You tell me what messaging you want, we come up with a prop, we get a nice person to QC it..."
Kynlee glances between Aulis and Tamuz.
Aulis grins.
Alica grins at Nilandia.
Vyrshkana says, "Ooooooo."
Vyrshkana beams!
You say, "Cait's has a kitchen, working stove and pantry."
You say, "Hers is cush."
You snort derisively at Kynlee!
You ask, "Nice QC person?"
You say, "Funny."
Aulis exclaims, "Selling keys to Cait's property, 1m a pop!"
You lean on Aulis.
Kynlee chuckles.
Eronderl says, "Like it's hard to get into Cait's bedroom."
You chuckle at Eronderl.
Alica gasps.
You say, "Zing."
Alica chuckles.
Kynlee looks thoughtfully at Eronderl.
Kynlee snickers.
A small but colorful butterfly drifts into the room through the open window.  It flits about the room, finally coming to rest on the display case for a moment before continuing on its way.
You exclaim, "Where's that lightning bolt!"
You gaze heavenward.
Kynlee glances at Zoelle.
Vyrshkana grumbles.
Kynlee says, "Alright, we've gone a nice long time and I've got a lot of good ideas and stuff I can work with."
Vyrshkana nods.
Kynlee exclaims, "I really appreciate all of you showing up and helping with this!"
Athias says, speaking to Kynlee, "I'll send you an e-mail about the idea I had a bit more fleshed out."
Alica says, "The idea of adding a room is good for a perk, as it will be easy to make it go away if the property changes hands."
Kynlee asks, "Is there anything else anyone would like to add or ask?"
Vyrshkana asks, "Could you post a summary of the ideas that were mentioned so we can email you with any more we think of?"
Kynlee nods.
Kynlee says, speaking to Athias, "Thank you."
Kynlee pinches Eronderl!
Eronderl snickers.
Vyrshkana becomes solid again.
Kynlee nods at Vyrshkana.
You ask, speaking to Kynlee, "Can you fix my pool and move my extra storage to the basket instead of the cart?"
Nilandia says, "Thank you for dropping by to chat, too.  All of you."
Vyrshkana hugs Nilandia.
Vyrshkana shuffles her feet.
Nilandia chuckles.
Nilandia gives Vyrshkana a friendly hug.
Zoelle smiles.
Nilandia meditates over Vyrshkana.
Nilandia takes Vyrshkana's back damage.
Eronderl asks, "So Tamuz, what's in the plat only bag?"
Nilandia meditates over Vyrshkana.
Nilandia takes Vyrshkana's left leg damage.
The cuts on Nilandia's back close and the bruises fade.
You say, speaking to Vyrshkana, "I can post a log in GSGuide if nobody else was planning on it."
Nilandia twiddles her thumbs.
Kynlee says, speaking to you, "I'll definitely take a look."
Kynlee nods to you.
Alica grins.
Athias says, speaking to Eronderl, "Thin air, just to make you curious."
Kynlee exclaims, speaking to you, "That would be great if you could do that!"
The cuts on Nilandia's left leg close and the bruises fade.
A small but colorful butterfly drifts into the room through the open window.  It flits about the room, finally coming to rest on the display case for a moment before continuing on its way.
Talryssa just came through the entrance.
Vyrshkana gives Talryssa a friendly hug.
A large bass fish leaps out of Vyrshkana's backpack and smacks Eronderl in the face.
Vyrshkana shuffles her feet.
Talryssa gives Vyrshkana a friendly hug.
Vyrshkana blinks.
Alica smiles.
Talryssa laughs!
(Vyrshkana peers in her backpack.)
Nilandia chuckles.
Vyrshkana exclaims, "Dere not beinged fishies in dere!"
Vyrshkana exclaims, "Where dat cominged from!"
Vyrshkana folds her arms over her chest.
Aulis exclaims, speaking to Vyrshkana, "Not anymore!"
Nilandia says, "Appparently there was and you just missed it."
Vyrshkana mutters under her breath.
Alica's blue phoenix tattoo seems to survey the area for a time before rolling its eyes.
Kynlee says, "I really want you guys to love your homes.  And use them.  And for them to reflect your characters.  Hopefully, we can get headed in that direction very soon."
Kynlee says, "It makes me sad when people have homes and don't ever use them."
You say, "Oh, one little thing, although it does not apply to me."
Talryssa agrees with Kynlee.
Vyrshkana cowers away from you.
Kynlee cocks her head at you.
You ask, "I know if you hand out a key you cannot get it back, them's the rules. Would or could that be changeable to provide at least temporary crumbly keys?"
Nilandia says, speaking to Kynlee, "I use my home all the time.  I've actually been thinking of holding small get-togethers to bring people there."
Alica grins at Nilandia.
A stiff breeze blows through from the direction of the bakery bringing with it the enticing smell of fresh baked goods.
Kynlee looks over at you and shakes her head.
Alica says, "That is what I was thinking would be a good use of a house. Something sharable."
You pout.
Alica says, "Let others see how great it is, so they can leave jealous wanting one of their own."
Alica nods at Nilandia.
Nilandia chuckles.
Kynlee says, "With how the keys are set up, they wouldn't be able to crumble individually.  It's either an all or none type of thing."
Nilandia nods in agreement at Alica.
You say, "Time for Keios then! New key programming."
You smirk.
Aulis says, speaking to you, "Technically you could leave your home unlocked for X amount of days to allow others to come and go and they please."
Kynlee says, "If the situation arose, we could re-key the place."
Talryssa softly asks, "Is there a way to maybe allow locksmiths, or even town locksmiths, to one day be able to create duplicate keys?"
Athias says, "I like the idea of being able to simply specify people that can come in and out, and allowing the owner to revoke names."
Kynlee says, "I believe the already can."
Nilandia says, "I thought they could."
Kynlee says, "They should be able to."
You say, "Well, I handed mine out to a few people during EG for shovel swapping, and luckily I remembered who all had them at the end. But temp would have been much nicer."
Aulis says, speaking to Kynlee, "They can."
Talryssa exclaims, speaking softly to Kynlee, "Oh, well then, there you go!"
Vyrshkana giggles.
Aulis says, "I remember Kaikala telling me that once."
Aulis nods sagely.
You say, speaking to Aulis, "And I certainly didn't want to leave it open."
Kynlee says, "If you need more keys, you can always just let me know.  Or you can assist and any GM on duty should be able to get you a copy."
Talryssa says, speaking softly to Kynlee, "She's got 47 keys, she just wants to make sure she doesn't lose them all."
Talryssa ducks her head.
Kynlee says, "If you lock up your storage containers, leaving your home open usually isn't risky."
You laugh out loud!
The silvery luminescence fades from around Alica.
Kynlee says, "If you have containers that don't like, let me know and I'll see about fixing that."
Kynlee grins at Talryssa.
You say, "It's not the handing them out. It's the getting them back. Talryssa hoarded hers for weeks. That greedy bit..."
A stiff breeze blows through from the direction of the bakery bringing with it the enticing smell of fresh baked goods.
You try to pinch Talryssa, but she leans away just in time.
Kynlee chuckles.
Talryssa adopts an agreeable expression.
Talryssa softly says, "I snuck in nightly and molested her."
You wail!
Kynlee covers her ears.
Talryssa says, speaking softly to you, "Oh, congratulations. You're pregnant."
You stare at Talryssa.
Aulis exclaims, speaking to you, "It's a half-thrak!"
You exclaim, "And with that... time to go!"
Talryssa exclaims, speaking softly to Aulis, "Great! Now you ruined the surprise!"
Kynlee asks, speaking to Zoelle, "Why do we always end up at a cheesy '70's porn type conversation?"
You chuckle.
Zoelle says, "And a quarter rolton."
Athias asks, speaking to Aulis, "What, did she sleep with the innkeeper?"
Kynlee chuckles.
You gaze heavenward.
Zoelle says, speaking to Kynlee, "That's a great question."
Alica grins.
Talryssa softly asks, "How'd you know Helga was here?"
You say, "Thanks for the chance to brainstorm, Kynlee. Much appreciated."
Aulis says, speaking to Kynlee, "Because you always need proper exiting music."
