The Keepsake Album is an offering in the Deluxe Wedding Package. It is included in the wedding trunk of the first spouse and allows the couple to store aspects and memories of their wedding and honeymoon. When the album is complete and sealed, it can be duplicated one time so that both spouses can have one.

ASCII art is used on some pages to depict content, though there is only one variation of each; it does not change based on page content.

Note: When capturing character portraits, shimmer trinkets, illusion props, and a few other appearance-altering items are currently supported. There are likely many others that are not. You can use BUGITEM to bring them to the attention of GMs for review and potential addition.

Analyze

You analyze your keepsake album and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

The Keepsake Album allows couples to store memories of their wedding ceremony, reception, and honeymoon.  It comes preset with the invitation, menu, and a sketch of the cake, and all three will reflect any changes made afterward.  While in the wedding and honeymoon areas, the album can create hardcopy portraits of people, rooms, and objects, as well as store the following:

  Espousal Clothing:    A fabric sample and sketch of each spouse's dress/suit (vest, shirt, and pants).
  Espousal Flowers:     A sample and sketch of each spouse's bouquet/boutonniere.
  Scents:               A sample of each spouse's perfume/cologne.
  Portraits:            A new page by inserting hardcopy portraits created by the album.
  Memories:             A written memory (caption) for any page.

When all memories are stored to your liking, the album should be sealed (PINCH) to prevent further changes and unlock additional actions.  It must be sealed by the end of the honeymoon.

The current color settings are red (ink) and white (background).

Closed (cover)

The album's cover has two variations based on the length of the names being displayed. If at least one name has an even length, the names will be displayed diagonally. If both names have an odd length, each one is centered.

You look lovingly at the keepsake album's white cover and embossed red lettering:

He is in good shape.
He is wearing a tailored black suit jacket, a distorted black hole pin, a skinny scarlet necktie, a crisp charcoal dress shirt, some tailored black suit pants, and some fancy black slip-on loafers.

[Concourse, Northeast]
Elegant brass sconces cast soothing light over smooth, onyx-swirled white marble walls.  Massive gold planters, brimming with brightly colored exotic plants, fill each corner.  A neatly engraved plaque reading "Leaf an Impression" hangs over a rounded arch, which is set into the eastern wall.  You also see a carved marble bench.
