Tier 1
This is the off-the-shelf version. This comes with several verbs as well as ambient whispers.AnalyzeThis is a Possessed Mask.
The mask can be altered with a long or a show, but the noun should not change from "mask", as it covers the entire face.
It is currently Tier 1 of 2.
The verbs available include:
Tier 1: wear/remove, get/stow, touch, and peer.
Once Tier 2 is unlocked, you will gain access to verbs: prod, poke, listen, and clench.
