Sockpuppetry, White Room

[Sockpuppetry, White Room]	Room: 8084671
This part of the hovel is spare, with all surfaces painted a snowy white. There were once windows, but they have been boarded over with white-painted driftwood that is further colored by the silhouette of a vivid vermillion marionette. In the room's center, two stone sarcophagi sit side-by-side, each large enough to comfortably fit a small child. Each sarcophagus is a different color and is draped with bright linens. A wide brass plaque is affixed to the wall on one side of the room. A battered driftwood door leads out.
Obvious paths: south

In the Common language, it reads:
 
SOCKPUPPETRY.  Hands ready, Naidem!
 
Curious patron, behold our Sock Puppets.  Various types for sale throughout this hovel, along with their cousins, some stiff-looking marionettes.
 
Upgrade certificates to unlock each Sock Puppet's potential are in the stone ossuary a few rooms over.  We recommend you buy all unlocks, and then tell all of your friends to do the same.  Just to be safe.
 
Merchant work through the curtain from time to time.  Enjoy!

a bloodstained wendigo marionette		3 lbs	Marionette Analyze Analyze: This marionette is a Marionette that traps the following verbs: TICKLE, KISS, PULL, PUSH, TAP, PUNCH, LICK, NUDGE, SLAP, and TURN. There are no tiers to unlock. Any merchant is free to alter this toy if they so choose. Alterations are allowable and should keep in mind that the messaging is based on two-legged, living creatures. Be sure that the adjective makes sense, the noun must always remain "marionette," and it must be made out of some sort of wood.	500
