Whisper mask

Adapted from information posted by Palcron on the Player's Corner.

Whisper masks were released at Ebon Gate 5013. They have ambient messaging for the wearer, various scripts and shows up in/affects various parts of a character's feature description. The masks can hold gems in the eye sockets. This will change both the description of the mask and the eye color of the wearer.

Whisper masks weigh less than 2 lbs, can be worn with a feature concealer, and can be altered at a merchant (show description added as well).

Zests/Scripts

While worn

>look my mask

It's on your face, stupid.

>remove mask (does major head damage and can kill)
You pry at the edges of a flame-scarred pale thanot mask. Pain shoots through your face and down your spine, as surely as if you had dug your nails deep into your flesh. Searing agony spreads across your face as the clinging mask slowly relaxes its grip upon you, coming off with a horrible, wet sucking sound.

You are stunned!

While in hand

>wear mask
You raise a flame-scarred pale thanot mask to your face, and it latches on to your skin hungrily. After a moment of blinding agony, the mask settles onto your flesh like a second skin.

• To swap which socket the gem is going into:

>tilt mask
Your mask is currently oriented to the left. TILT it again within the next 30 seconds to tilt it to the right.

• To place gems

>put [gem] in mask

• To remove gems, which are destroyed in the process

>knock mask

Ambient Messaging

Not all inclusive.

You feel horribly alone.

Blinding rage wells up inside you like white-hot magma, making your fists clench uncontrollably.
Third person: xxx clenches his fists, his face contorting into a silent snarl.

A strained voice whispers, "It's better when they struggle."

A wet, slathering voice bubbles up in your mind, saying, "The blood, the blood, where is the blood..."

A strained voice whispers, "Find us someone to eat."

A wet, slathering voice bubbles up in your mind, saying, "Feed us, we beg of you. We are so hungry, so alone..."

A sobbing, tearful voice cries, "Free me, I beg of you."

A cackling voice in your mind shrieks, "They are coming, they are coming!"

A choked voice groans, "Not my fault. I did not want to..."

You get the sudden sensation that there is something on your back.

A gentle voice whispers, "Even death may die."

A sobbing, tearful voice cries, "Not my fault. I did not want to..."

Hungry voices nearby moan, "There is no end to this torment. Only the blood can make us whole."

Hungry voices nearby moan, "Kill them all and crack the bones and eat the flesh and the blood, so sweet and filling, the salty, stinging blood..."

A choked voice groans, "Hide, me! The Shadow With Wings comes!"

A choked voice groans, "Please, don't leave me!"

Desperate voices in the back of your mind cry, "The taste of a dying breath... it is exquisite."

A knot grows in the pit of your stomach. You feel empty and hollow as a drum, but all you can think about is the salty, bitter taste of blood.

A softly sibilant voice rasps, "xxx" is plotting to kill you. I heard him. Strike first."
