A Basketifier is a food basket that allows for the long-term storage of fresh foods. It also makes the food item unlimited. It was sold in the Evermore Hollow shop, Preserving Breads.

Tier 1

While OTS, the Basketifier can store up to 4 food/drink items inside it, and it can make unlimited copies of those food/drink items stored inside.

Analyze

Welcome to the Basketifier, straight out of the shop Preserving Breads at Evermore Hollow!

This basket is designed to hold food items for you.  It will keep them fresh and unlimited until you decide to remove them.
It is currently tier 1 of 4, which means it will house 4 food items.
It can store more food items and unlock more functionality at higher tiers, which can be obtained by purchasing certificates in its shop of origin.
To use the basket, simply follow these steps:
1. PUT - use this to add food items to the basket.
2. RUB - use this to prepare a food item for removal.
3. TURN - Use this to remove a food item from the basket.  (must be charged with a small statue)

Alterations:
The basket may be altered freely, but it must remain a basket.  It can have a long or show description.

Usage

Verb First Third
PUT
(food in)
You lower a maple bourbon pork chop garnished with apple and thyme into a rotund apple-shaped basket, taking a bit of cheesecloth from within to cover the dish and keep it fresh. XXX lowers her pork chop into a rotund apple-shaped basket, taking a bit of cheesecloth from within to cover the dish.
RUB You rub the side of your apple-shaped basket, preparing a maple bourbon pork chop garnished with apple and thyme for removal. N/A
TURN First turn: You are about to permanently remove a maple bourbon pork chop garnished with apple and thyme from your apple-shaped basket. If this is what you want to do, then TURN the basket again in the next 30 seconds. N/A
Second turn: Deciding that you no longer want a maple bourbon pork chop garnished with apple and thyme in your apple-shaped basket, you turn a dial on the side of it and then press an alarmingly red button. A loud hiss and smoke issues from the basket, the sound of something whining, and a soft, piteous, "Nooooo..." fills the air, but in the end, a drawer pops open. In the drawer you see a maple bourbon pork chop garnished with apple and thyme and a small sign that says, "Last of its kind." You quickly retrieve the basket. XXX turns a small dial on her apple-shaped basket, causing a lot of hissing, billowing smoke, and a faint plea of denial. In short order, a drawer on the side of the basket pops out and XXX lifts a maple bourbon pork chop garnished with apple and thyme out of it.

Tier 2

The Basketifier's second tier expands the number of food/drink items it can contain to 8 items total. In addition, it can be PULLed to turn the basket into a picnic blanket for serving.

Analyze

To create a picnic, follow these steps:
1. PULL - to pull the blanket out.  This will move all food to the blanket, and the basket will be turned into a trashcan.
2. PUSH - to clean up the picnic.  This will move all food and the blanket back into the basket and return the basket to its natural state.

Alterations:
Basket's Blanket: a fringed red and black cloth
It must maintain a noun of blanket, cloth, tablecloth, or something similar.  It may have a long or a show description and must be made of fabric.

Usage

Verb First Third
PULL
(basket)
Placing a rotund apple-shaped basket on the ground, you pull a forest green blanket embroidered with plump golden apples and lay it upon the ground, repositioning the basket as a weight on one end. With practiced ease, you lay out each of the food items you had stored inside the basket, remembering as you do that this will make them available for all to enjoy. Pulling a bit of debris from a forest green blanket embroidered with plump golden apples, you toss it into the basket, which you now realize will act as a trashcan.

[[OOC Warning: All food items on this blanket are now available for public consumption. Your apple-shaped basket has been transformed into a trashcan and placed on one corner. Your green blanket will be out for 30 minutes at a time, refreshable with HUG. If you are not around when the timer is up, then you will need to see the local Adventurer's Guild to learn about recovery options for the basket.]]

Placing a rotund apple-shaped basket on the ground, XXX pulls a forest green blanket embroidered with plump golden apples and lays it upon the ground, repositioning the basket as a weight on one end. With practiced ease, she lays various food items upon the blanket's smooth surface and discards any loose debris within the basket.
PUSH
(blanket)
Quickly removing the various food items from the surface of the blanket and depositing them in a rotund apple-shaped basket, you close down your picnic.

You pick the basket up.

XXX picks the basket up.

Tier 3

The Basketifier's third tier expands the number of food/drink items it can contain to 12 items total, and it has the picnic blanket ability. In addition, it can be PRODded to turn the basket into a table for serving.

Analyze

To create a table, follow these steps:
1. PROD - to set the table out.  This will move all food items onto the table, and the basket will be turned into a trashcan.
2. TINKER - to clean up the table.  This will move all food back into the basket and return the basket to its natural state.

Alterations:
Table Base: a rough oak table
The table must keep the noun table.  It may have a long or a show description and needs to be made of wood.

Usage

Verb First Third
HUG First hug: A painted applewood table has 119 minutes left before it will pack itself up. If you would like to reset it to 90 minutes, then please HUG a painted applewood table again.

Second hug: You nudge the table, refreshing the timer for XX minutes.

N/A
PROD
(basket)
Placing the basket on the ground, you prod a couple of mechanisms in the bottom and step back. To the tune of mechanical whirring and buzzing, the basket slowly transforms into a painted applewood table as a pair of legs unfurl from its bottom. The walls and sides of the basket become the tabletop, and its lining transforms into a tablecloth. The various food items that once were within the basket become spread out for all to enjoy. You carefully tuck a rotund apple-shaped basket under the table, which can be used as a trashcan.

[[OOC Warning: All food items on this table are now available for public consumption. Your apple-shaped basket has been transformed into a trashcan and placed under the table. Your applewood table will be out for 30 minutes at a time, refreshable with HUG. If you are not around when the timer is up, then you will need to see the local Adventurer's Guild to learn about recovery options for the basket.]]

Placing the basket on the ground, XXX gives it a little prod and then stands back. Over the course of several minutes, the basket transforms into a cloth-covered table laid with a spread of food. Once done, she places the basket under the table.
TINKER
(table)
Tinkering with some of the mechanisms on the side of the table, you trigger the transformation process and cause the table to fold in on itself, returning it to its basket shape.

You pick the basket up.
