Have you ever wanted to update your transport item to FWI to have a little bit more flare?
Well, now's your chance to design some!!

Here are the requirements:

1. Design 1st person transport messaging (no more than 200 characters).
2. Design 3rd person arrival messaging (no more than 200 characters).
3. Design 3rd person departure messaging (no more than 200 characters)..
4. Design a second 1st person transport messaging (same rules as 1).
5. Design 3rd person arrival messaging (to go with #4 and same rules as 2).
6. Design 3rd person departure messaging (to go with #4 sane same rules as 3).
7. Messaging must include <item> in the messaging.

Example of a Submission:

1. You give your <item> a gentle turn and before you can blink, your surroundings have instantly changed
2. Person suddenly appears out of nowhere, one hand moving away from her <item>..
3. Person reaches for her <item> and vanishes as soon as her fingers touch it!
4. Different 1st person messaging than 1.
5. 3rd person messaging that matches 4.
6. 3rd person messaging that matches 4.
7. All messaging includes <item>.

Entries that do not include all requirements and follow the guidelines will not be considered eligible.
Contestants have until 11:59 p.m. PT on July 31, 2022 to get entries to me.


Ten winners will be chosen from the submitted entries.

Like all Premium Monthly Contests, entries are subject to change based on the discretion
of the GMs and QC. Entries will be judged during the first week of August. Zoelle
will not judge this contest except in the rare case of a tie. The winners will be
announced as soon as possible afterwards. Zoelle reserves the right to make any changes
to items that she, or QC, deems necessary.

Please direct any questions to the Premium Contests folder on the official message boards.

REMINDERS: THERE IS NO GUARANTEE ANY WINNING ITEM WILL BE CREATED IN GAME!

1. The moment you touch your <item>, your surroundings fracture and multiply, spinning rapidly into impossible geometry.  As quickly as it began the process reverses, leaving you standing elsewhere.
2. A pinprick of light appears nearby, only to rapidly unfold from nothing into a passable likeness of <character> with hand resting on <item>, before taking on a more substantial reality.
3. As <character> touches <item>, countless mirror images extend infinitely into a corridor stretching beyond the horizon.  The images bend and fold until they vanish, leaving no trace of the original.
4. Placing your hand atop <item> and humming a simple six note tune summons an abrupt wind carrying the remainder of the song, and instantly replacing your surroundings with someplace new.
5. A faint tune carries through the air as though from a great distance, and a gentle breeze swirls nothing but dust motes in the air.  <Character> brushes <item> clean.  How long has <he/she> been here?
6. Hand atop <item>, <Character> hums the beginning of a tune.  Sudden stinging wind causes you to blink, but you hear their song retreat into the distance.
