These cloaks are dark in nature, keeping with the intrigue and mystery in Bloodriven Village. You can store a message to be recalled later.
>wear my overcoat
In a single, fluid motion, you swing the black linen overcoat around your body and onto your shoulders, settling in it comfortably. You abruptly fasten the black pearl clasp to secure your possessions from wandering hands.
(This will auto close when you wear it.)
>look my overcoat
You notice a black pearl clasp secured at the top of the black linen overcoat.
>whisper overcoat I must remember to get a rat voucher so I can go discover treasure in the Ratacombs!
You lower your head and whisper something profound into the black linen overcoat's black pearl clasp. The overcoat seems to vibrate in response to your voice.
>touch my overcoat
As you touch the black linen overcoat's black pearl clasp, you are suddenly filled with memories of a distant past. The words flood your mind as you remember...
I must remember to get a rat voucher so I can go discover treasure in the Ratacombs!
>flip my overcoat
You discreetly cover the black linen overcoat's black pearl clasp with your palm and flip it over using your thumb, inconspicuously opening your overcoat.
(Open and close, toggle)
>turn my overcoat
You turn abruptly and yank the black linen overcoat, forcing it to coil around your legs.
(and much more...)

>Here's a question, though. If one character left a message in the cloak, removed it and handed it to a second character, would they be able to wear the cloak and listen to the message the first one left?
Oooooh, ahhh! Top secret messages are top secret! I considered letting it be heard by anyone who got their hands on it, but then I had some really bad scenarios go through my mind. While a message can be overwritten by another...
>touch overcoat As you touch the black linen overcoat's black pearl clasp, your mind reels with unfamiliar memories. You are unable to make much sense of anything.

These are Whisper Cloaks... they were teased a few weeks ago. Normal cloaks store a significant amount; the more expensive ones are fully unlocked, and store a huge amount.
Unlocked versions have 12 verb traps in addition to wear/remove. These cloaks will allow the user to store a message in them, only able to be retrieved by the original user. If someone else gets a hold of it, they can overwrite the message, but they'll not be able to recall the original message. Overwriting a message can be done at any time.
These cloaks are of a darker nature.

I have now added the ability to toggle auto-closing when WEARing the item. You can PROD the item to do this.
