Chitons

analyze my cloth
You analyze your green linen cloth and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

Welcome to Kraet Styles, the premiere place to find Kraet styles and clothing. A folded linen cloth dyed verdigris green can be worn as a chiton and can be styled in one of three utility forms. They are the Gladiator, the Observer, and the Worker. Each style will provide basic comfort and freedom of movement for the tasks at hand. The cloth can be customized by adding pins or cording to it but they must be from the Kraet Style line in order for them to work.

Currently, the cloth is set to be worn in the observer style.
It has a border of dark trellis-patterned and is fashioned of linen that is dyed verdigris green.

There is a pair of simple pins affixed to it, which will display as cloth-pinned when the garment is worn.

There is a braided gold cord wrapped about it, which will display as -corded when the garment is worn.

You may change how the pins are worn by using TWIST to add new ones.

You may change how the cord is worn by using WRAP to add new ones.

Altering instructions: The cloth may have its color, fabric type, and border altered. It will always have a stock long description and any show must make sense when the item is not worn.

Tiering: The cloth is currently tier 1 of 2. The cloth has access to the following verbs:
Pinch (removes pin), Remove, Turn (changes style), Twist (adds pin), Wear, Wrap (adds cord), and Unwrap (removes cord)

Hello,

A very good question was asked on Discord.

Is there a mechanical benefit to the chiton, pins, or cords?

The answer is no. This is just a fluff item. The pins and cords are strictly to further customize/change your chiton to your desired output. You can change the pins or cords anytime you like, which will change the long description of your chiton.

For example the default on these:

Observer Style
a brooch-pinned verdigris green linen chiton topped in a dark trellis-patterned overlay

Worker Style
a gold-waisted linen chiton with pale opal leaf-pinned verdigris green sleeves

Gladiator Style
a brooch-pinned verdigris green linen chiton torso-wrapped in gold cording

Pin and Cord Style 1 with the leaves and sage green cording:
You fiddle with a dusty sage jute cord for a moment, causing it to appear dusty sage-waisted or dusty sage-corded when worn with a chiton.

Observer Style

Worker Style
a sage green-waisted linen chiton with pale opal leaf-pinned verdigris green sleeves

Gladiator Style
a pale opal leaf-pinned verdigris green linen chiton torso-wrapped in sage green cording

Pin and Cord Style 2 with leaves and sage green cording:
You fiddle with a dusty sage jute cord for a moment, causing it to appear jute-waisted or jute-corded when worn with a chiton. You fiddle with a pair of pale opal leaves for a moment, causing it to appear leaf-pinned when worn on a chiton.

Observer Style

Worker Style

Gladiator Style

There are 2 tears for the chiton. Here is the analyze on the 2nd tier:

You analyze your linen chiton and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

Welcome to Kraet Styles, the premiere place to find Kraet styles and clothing. A leaf-pinned verdigris green linen chiton topped in a dark trellis-patterned overlay can be worn as a chiton and can be styled in one of three utility forms.

It has a border of dark trellis-patterned and is fashioned of linen that is dyed verdigris green.

There is a pair of pale opal leaves affixed to it, which will display as chit-pinned when the garment is worn.

There is a dusty sage jute cord wrapped about it, which will display as jute-corded when the garment is worn.

You may change how the pins are worn by using PINCH to remove them.

You may change how the cord is worn by using UNWRAP to remove it.

Altering instructions: The chiton may have its color, fabric-type, and border altered. It will always have a stock long description and any show must make sense when the item is not worn.

Tiering: The chiton is currently tier 2 of 2. The chiton has access to the following verbs:
Kneel, Pinch (removes pin), Pull, Push, Remove, Sit, Turn (changes style), Twist (adds pin), Wear, Wrap (adds cord), and Unwrap (removes cord)

You get no sense of whether or not the chiton may be further lightened.

Here are two of the 4 verbs. Please note, each verb is slightly different and 1 cloth has access to all three styles.

PUSH - Observer Style (from sitting)

Rushing to your feet, you raise your right arm into the air, the overlay of your linen chiton parting as you hold your closed fist out in front of you for the measure of three heartbeats. You pause a moment longer, your gaze sweeping on all around you, and slowly extend your thumb downwards.

PULL - Observer Style

You raise your right arm into the air, the overlay of your linen chiton parting as you hold your closed fist out in front of you for the measure of three heartbeats. You pause a moment longer, your gaze sweeping on all around you, and slowly extend your thumb upwards.

PUSH - Gladiator Style

You lift your gaze skyward, the skirting of your linen chiton swaying as you jut your arm into the air to draw attention. With a sweeping gaze, you slowly form a fist with your thumb pointed down and wait for a sign of approval.

PULL - Gladiator Style

You lift your gaze skyward, the skirting of your linen chiton swaying as you jut your arm into the air to draw attention. With a sweeping gaze, you slowly form a fist with your thumb pointed up and wait for a sign of approval.

PUSH - Worker Style

You raise your arm before you, the sleeves of your linen chiton slipping back from your wrist to the elbow, and hold your hand closed into a fist for the briefest of moments before letting your thumb escape and jut downward.

PULL - Worker Style

You raise your arm before you, the sleeves of your linen chiton slipping back from your wrist to the elbow, and hold your hand closed into a fist for the briefest of moments before letting your thumb escape and jut upward.
