Subject: Teaser: Cut and Dried

Also coming to Duskruin is my shop, Cut and Dried.
The shop features purchasing tobacco for rolling your own cigars as well as a new cigar related script.

>open tin
The brass tobacco tin opens with a sharp snap.

>get tobacco in tin
You take a pinch of rich golden leaves from the tin.

>rummage packet
You rummage briefly in your small packet and pull out a fat cigar leaf wrapper.

>roll tobacco
You press the tobacco in a thin line down the length of the leaf wrapper, careful to distribute it evenly.

Roundtime: 15 sec.
R>
Ever so deftly, you roll the leaf wrapper between forefinger and thumb.
R>
The tight little tube feels natural between your fingers as you wind the leaf to its end, anticipation fluttering in your gut. You lick the resin along the remaining edge, press it firmly against itself, and VOILA! It is finished!
R>glance
You glance down to see a slender golden cigar in your right hand and nothing in your left hand.

In addition, the shop will be debuting a new script, Cigar Cutters.

>clench cutter
Slipping your index finger and thumb through the steel cigar cutter's unusually sturdy double rings, you position the golden cigar within the blade apperture, slicing the tip neatly off with a firm squeeze.
>look cigar
The tip has been neatly trimmed to expose a bit of the tobacco inside.

There are some more fun clench actions if you don't really feel like trimming cigars all the time.
You casually squeeze the steel cigar cutter, letting the keen snick of the blades proclaim their sharpness.
You glance at Keios and casually squeeze the steel cigar cutter, the dual sharp blades snicking softly.

Not menacing enough for you? Maybe some good old threatening would do better!
>turn cutter
You draw the steel cigar cutter open, pulling past the point of full aperture to disengage and sheathe the blades. Rotating the finger rings inward along hidden inner tracks, you guide them toward each other. Once touching, the handles snap down into new locked positions with a soft click. Then, with a nudge of your thumb, you unfold the doubled rings outward and reposition your grip on the steel knuckle-duster.

>clench knuckle
You flex your fingers in the steel knuckle-duster, seating its rings comfortably against your knuckles.

And finally, they can be unlocked to gain two more fun scripts.

You knock the steel cigar cutter gently against the heel of your other hand, knocking any loose bits of tobacco leaf stuck in the blades free.
You flip your steel cigar cutter down and out, letting it spin around your index finger to smack comfortably back against your palm.

You casually buff the edges of the steel knuckle-duster, making sure the rings are still securely seated.
You flip your steel knuckle-duster down and out, letting it spin around your index finger to smack comfortably back against your palm.

And as the final trick on these, the knuckle dusters are fire flaring. Once unlocked, if you PUSH the cigar cutter in either form while holding an unlit cigar...
>push knuckle
You roll the golden cigar gently against the drakar element of your steel knuckle-duster, carefully rotating the cigar to evenly distribute the heat.
>
Small tendrils of smoke begin to trickle from the end of the golden cigar as you continue to press it against the hot metal. Drawing air gently through the cigar, you coax the smoldering tobacco to a cleaner flame.
>
Finally satisfied that you've achieved a pleasantly even burn, you remove the golden cigar from your steel knuckle-duster and inhale deeply from it. The area fills with a fresh golden smoke.

Happy smoking! More teasers are to come.
