'''Stationery boxes''' are scripted boxes that hold [[stationery paper]] and writing supplies such as quills, [[ink pot]]s, [[stationery signet]] rings and sealing wax. Boxes are intended to work with [[stationery system]] items, providing unique messaging for them when placed inside, however they are capable of storing some [[mail system]] items, too. They can only store stationery paper via {{boldmono|PUSH}}, not [[mail paper]]. Boxes can hold up to 10 sheets of paper off the shelf. {{boldmono|LOOK}} at the box to see how many sheets it currently contains. Unlike the [[Label Maker]], all sheets must match or the box will not accept them.

This box is unlocked to be PLACEd on the ground or NUDGEd onto a surface, where it can still be used without picking it up. A talented merchant can also give the box a different appearance to take on while it is set out, such as a writing desk, which is removed when you pick the box back up. The placed desk can take a long and a show as two separate merchant services. The box does not currently have a placed appearance.
-While the box is set out, PROD will toggle whether anyone can add or take items from it, or only you.

This item has Stay-Put qualities. If you PLACE it, it will be moved to the ground in your current room and stay there, unable to be picked up by others or taken by the janitor, for 4 hours. You may NUDGE it at a valid container to place the box on top of the container until you NUDGE it out of its place again. After the duration expires, the item is fair game for others and for the janitor. Alternately, the item may be PLACEd by the owner of a private property within the grounds of the property or by the owner of a stall or loft in and will stay there until PLACEd or NUDGEd again.


Try as you might, you cannot get a good sense of whether or not the box's pockets could get any deeper, but you can tell that the box is as light as it can get.

The Stationery box is a fluff crafting and storage script that applies to container items. It was originally released at Premium Festival 2017. The following facets are able to be customized by a merchant: placed appearance. Items with this script can be PUT on the ground for a limited duration, during which other players and the janitor cannot pick them up. Stacks matching sheets of stationery paper. Certificates can unlock Stationery envelope stacking, Stay-Put placement, and unlimited PERM-ified paper.

Analyze

You analyze your stationery box and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This is a stationery box that will bundle loose paper of the same design.  It will also hold other stationery supplies such as quills, ink, envelopes, sealing wax, and signet rings.  You may alter the description of the box, but it should remain a non-wearable box with a lid.  The box may also be locked with an appropriate key.
-PUSH the box to add a sheet of paper.
-PULL the box to remove a sheet of paper.
-PLUCK the box to duplicate a sheet of paper without removing the original.
-There are 2 sheets of paper inside the stationery box.  It can stack 10 sheets.
-Current Paper: a piece of oyster-hued vellum.

This box is unlocked to also store stationery envelopes.
-EXTINGUISH the box to remove one envelope.
-EXTRACT the box to duplicate a stored envelope without removing the original.
-There are 3 envelopes inside the stationery box.  It can stack 10 stationery envelopes.
-Current Envelope: an ecru linen envelope.

A talented merchant can improve the capacity of the box to hold more paper or envelopes.

This box is unlocked to be PLACEd on the ground or NUDGEd onto a surface, where it can still be used without picking it up.  A talented merchant can also give the box a different appearance to take on while it is set out, such as a writing desk, which is removed when you pick the box back up.  The placed desk can take a long and a show as two separate merchant services.  The box does not currently have a placed appearance.
-While the box is set out, PROD will toggle whether anyone can add or take items from it, or only you.

This item has Stay-Put qualities.  If you PLACE it, it will be moved to the ground in your current room and stay there, unable to be picked up by others or taken by the janitor, for 4 hours.  You may NUDGE it at a valid container to place the box on top of the container until you NUDGE it out of its place again.  After the duration expires, the item is fair game for others and for the janitor.  Alternately, the item may be PLACEd by the owner of a private property within the grounds of the property or by the owner of a stall or loft in and will stay there until PLACEd or NUDGEd again.

Try as you might, you cannot get a good sense of whether or not the box's pockets could get any deeper, but you can tell that the box is as light as it can get.

Additional Information

Stationery boxes were first sold in 2017, at both the Midsummer's Night Festival Premium Festival with matching keys to lock the boxes and at Ebon Gate's Caligos Isle without matching keys. Boxes bought from an EZSHOP come with a lock and a matching key. Starting in 2026, a key will be placed in the box upon purchase.
