Moody Garments are zesty garments released during June 2022 Rumor Woods and sold at Tempered Threads. These garments have a set of verbs that vary based on the garment's current "mood." The mood can be changed by inserting one of several possible runes into the garment, allowing for a variety of verb sets.

Moodstones, sold in the same shop, provide access to unique moods.

Analyze

This pewter grey vest is a Moody Garment!  When eligible rune items (most non-blank runestones with the "runestone" noun, bloodrunes, and moodstones) are inserted, it has the ability to confer messaging outputs from the player and garment that reflect the rune item's associated mood/flavor.  PUSH (with rune item in the oppposite hand) to insert, PULL to remove, and LOOK ON to see the type of inserted rune item.

This vest is currently Tier 2 (of 2).  It traps for: TILT, EXPRESS, POSE, RAISE, PUSH, PULL, WEAR, REMOVE, and ATTEND.  TILT, EXPRESS, and RAISE include player target options via "at/with".

Aesthetic alterations are allowed.  The noun must remain a synonym of bodice or vest-like nouns that wrap around the front and back (e.g. no aprons).  No nouns or alterations that contradict the presence of a neckline and a lower hem that reaches down at least as far as the waist.  No nouns or alterations that contradict the waistband as sitting at the waist.

Messaging that relies on an item being visible will not display if it is tucked out of sight.
