Dance!

My new script this year is...

Drum roll please?

Dancing shoes!

These shoes have several tiers and a LOT of possibilities. I got the idea months ago on the boards when someone suggested multi-tiered multi-option dancing shoes. And... well... here we are!

Let's see them in action, shall we?

Tier 1 (off-the-shelf)

look my slippers (setting 1) The switch on the heel of these female slippers is set to dance with males.

kick my slippers You kick your heels together, subtly flicking a tiny switch in soles of your slippers with the motion. (3rd person) Geltrude kicks her heels together in smooth motion.

(3rd person) Geltrude plants her toe against the ground in front of her and shimmies forward, her shoulders twisting back and forth in a quick motion.

Tier 3 (both shoes twice unlocked) (part 1 - meaning, there is another verb at this level as well)

Felthrop takes a deep breath.

raise my boot You idly twist your foot, digging your toe into the ground.

raise my boot at Geltrude (with Geltrude wearing dancing shoes) You take Geltrude in your arms, leading her effortlessly in a slow dance.

raise my boot at Geltrude (with Geltrude not wearing dancing shoes) You dance slowly up to Geltrude and gaze into her eyes.

raise my boot at Felthrop (self) You slowly nod your head in a rhythmic pattern.

Note: The messaging for RAISE changes for the following options (only a few of them showcased above):

Boy dancing with a boy who also has shoes set to dance with boys. Boy dancing with a boy who's shoes are set to dance with girls. Boy dancing with a girl. Girl dancing with a girl who also has shoes set to dance with girls. Girl dancing with a girl who's shoes are set to dance with boys. Girl dancing with a boy.

From this point and on, it's just as complicated, if not more so! So, I'll save the rest for my next post! :)

The creator has also provided the following information: A merchant can alter these slippers with a long description or a show, but the item must be a type of shoe with calf-length laces. Suggested nouns would be: slippers or sandals. Also, keep in mind that the script adds a switch automatically to the LOOK of the item.

This item has been fully unlocked and is Tier 4. It traps WEAR, REMOVE, LOOK, KICK, PULL, TURN, PUSH, RAISE, POKE, TOSS, POINT. Additionally, RAISE, POKE, TOSS, and POINT can be targeted at another person. Lastly, TOSS and POINT can be targeted at creatures and held objects.

You can tell that the slippers is as light as it can get.

And that's a wrap! See you at Ebon Gate! :)
