The Crab's Abs
This tiny magic shell can house a crab that will make small doses of perfume for you.

To Add a Crab:
Obtain any gemstone crab from the Life Aquatic system and PUSH it into the shell.

To Create a Perfume:
1. With a crab installed, WAVE your shell at a piece of foraged leaf or leaves.
2. With a crab installed, WAVE your shell at a foraged wood or grass.
3. TURN your shell to obtain the starting notes of your perfume.

Additional Information:
RUB will put the perfume on you once it is created, SMELL will give you a preview of the perfume, CLEAN will remove the perfume from your shell, PULL removes the current crab so it can be replaced, while SMOOCH and TICKLE are fluff verbs for when a crab is inside.

Some final Notes:
This shell is a magical item. You can hold it or wear it to work with it. It creates 4 doses of perfume each time you work with the crab inside.

You may alter the shell, but it can only take a base or long description change. The SHOW is stock.

| You bring the tiny white yeti crab gemstone close to your wentletrap shell. As your fingers near the opening, a shimmer passes over the gem, twitching with sudden life. Slowly, the crab stirs, blinking one eyestalk, then the other. It slips free from its carved gemstone shell with visible hesitation and creeps toward the offered crab. After circling it twice, it tucks itself carefully inside, legs folding in with a quiet finality.

| You lift the shell with care, cradling it in your palm. A gentle warmth radiates from within, and as you bring it closer, the soft rise of perfume greets you:

Creating a patina of scents upon your skin, cool rainwater and sun-warmed stones rise amid the soft caress of dog roses and a breath of leaf. A dense, metallic warmth stains the blend, rich with the dark resin and iron-tinged bark of bloodwood.

| You politely tap your fingertip upon a furry-legged white yeti crab's carapace, causing the tiny crustacean to toddle into your wentletrap shell. The white yeti crab dips into the depths of your wentletrap shell for a moment, disappearing briefly before a pair of claws emerge, their surfaces covered in a dollop of fragrant beeswax. As the sea creature appears to focus an eyestalk at you, you dip your finger into the mixture, dabbing it across your pulse points as the crab clacks its claws in approval.

| You hold a sassafras leaf near the shell, and after a faint scratching sound from within, a furry-legged white yeti crab cautiously peeks out. One eyestalk rises, then the other, followed by a slow sidestep as it emerges to tap the air with its claws. After a moment of quiet inspection, the white yeti crab scuttles away, drawn by the unseen scent of its quarry.

The soft click of tiny claws announces a furry-legged white yeti crab's return. It emerges from a nearby tangle of undergrowth, dragging something faintly fragrant in its grasp. The white yeti crab scuttles to your foot, pauses for a moment, and then begins a slow, deliberate climb up your leg. With careful precision, it reaches a high-spiraled wentletrap shell in pearly white and tucks itself neatly inside, leaving behind a subtle trace of scent.

A soft clicking sound rises in the air as a furry-legged white yeti crab arrives, something fragrant held between its claws. It approaches Firstperson and begins to climb with surprising determination. After reaching the shell on him, it slips inside and disappears from view, its task seemingly complete.

| You extend a bloodwood twig towards your wentletrap shell and wait in silence. After a moment, a soft scrape sounds from within as a furry-legged white yeti crab slowly peeks out. Its eyestalks sway, and one claw reaches to tap the offered twig. It lingers in stillness, then disappears in a glimmer of light.

A shimmer of soft light forms at the edge of your vision as a furry-legged white yeti crab reappears, cradling something faintly fragrant in its claws. Lowering its eyes, and with a flicker of pale magic, the white yeti crab vanishes in a quiet blink. A moment later, you feel a gentle weight settle back into your wentletrap shell.

Out of the corner of your eye, you briefly see a furry-legged white yeti crab. Moments later, it disappears in a pale swirl of magic.

==Additional Information==
A Crab's Abs shell has a hard-coded {{boldmono|LOOK}}/{{boldmono|SHOW}} description, which features the crab inserted. Because of this, it can only support long description alterations.

'''Without Crab'''
<pre{{log2}}>
Carved in a delicate spiral and worn smooth from years of travel along the ocean floor, the tiny shell bears fine striations along its curve. A faint sheen clings to its surface, as if touched by lingering magic. Though warm to the touch, it sits still and hollow, its quiet interior giving no sign of life. Soft traces of salt and crushed leaf scent cling to the edges, but the occupant is gone.
</pre>

'''With Crab'''
<pre{{log2}}>
Tucked deep within the shell, a furry-legged white yeti crab rests in stillness, its legs curled tight and its eyestalks withdrawn from view. A quiet warmth radiates from the opening, paired with the subtle rise and fall of breath. Faint trails of sand and crushed leaf dust the rim, though no movement stirs beyond the occasional twitch of a tiny claw.
</pre>

===Making Perfume===
When using {{boldmono|PUSH}} to insert a crab, the sea critter must be in the right hand, and it must be a gemstone version of a [[Life Aquatic]] sea critter. The perfume-creating process consumes the crab gemstone. Upon the last dose being used, the vial clears out all of its data except for the bee, which will persist unless it is manually removed/destroyed.

Foraged leaves, grass, and wood are the only items that can be added. The perfume-creating process does not consume the leaf, grass, or wood. Leaves determine the first notes of the created perfume, which can have their phrasing [[#First Note Options|cycled between set options]] via {{boldmono|TURN}}. Woods and grasses determine the finishing notes. Different types of woods and grasses have their own unique scents when turned into perfume, which are specific to the wood or grass type foraged.

Each combination creates 4 doses of perfume. The perfume is stored in the vial and cannot be extracted to share. Perfume lasts for the standard 4 hours.

The order of operations does not matter. You can {{boldmono|WAVE {LEAF/LEAVES}}}, {{boldmono|WAVE {GRASS or WOOD}}}, or {{boldmono|TURN}} in any order. However, you must have a leaf ''and'' grass/wood installed in order to {{boldmono|RUB}} and apply the perfume.

{{boldmono|TURN}} works at any point on the vial. If you apply the perfume, decide you want a different opening note, then you can {{boldmono|TURN}} again and reapply. It will shift the first notes sentence, but not the leaf or wood/grass.

Perfume made by the vial can ''not'' be poured onto paper. The perfume is not drinkable.

=== First Note Options ===
The perfume's first note phrase can be cycled between the following options via TURN:
* Coconut cream blends with crushed seashells and warm sand, casting a soft coastal sweetness across your skin that is brightened by {leaf/leaves}.
* Creating a patina of scents upon your skin, cool rainwater and sun-warmed stones rise amid the soft caress of dog roses and a breath of {leaf/leaves}.
* Dusky coconut and smoked vanilla drift from your skin like late evening on black sand, grounded in salt-washed driftwood and darkened by {leaf/leaves}.
* Salted skin and sun-warmed musk rise from your skin, layered with fresh ginger and a hint of white blossom, softened by beeswax and a glimmer of fruit, and threaded with {leaf/leaves}.
* Sun-bloated papaya and soured coconut seep from your skin with a skin-slick sweetness, bloated by beeswax gone rancid and softened by mildew-laced amber and the ghost of {leaf/leaves}.
* Haunting petrichor and {leaf/leaves} mist your skin in a melange of green musk-soaked notes, dispersing gently into droplets of sea lavender and rosemary.
* The bracing scent of lime and wet volcanic stone clings to your skin, chased by the faint bite of the open sea and the green lift of {leaf/leaves}.
* Coconut water and driftwood settle on your skin in gentle waves, grounded by the mineral sharpness of ocean spray and softened by {leaf/leaves}.
* Clinging to your skin like a promise, the scent of rain-slick stone and deep river water is touched by mineral grit and a trace of {leaf/leaves}.
* Sun-ripened pineapple and golden papaya melt across your skin in juicy waves, layered with the warm mineral tang of sea salt and a thread of {leaf/leaves}.
* Sea salt and sun-warmed musk rise from your skin, layered with fresh ginger and a hint of white blossom and softened by beeswax and a glimmer of fruit threaded with {leaf/leaves}.
* Lime zest and sun-cured amber rise from your skin, layered over the clean tang of wind-stirred saltwater and a trace of {leaf/leaves}
