Tier 1

Usage

Verb Style First Third
DRINK No drink Glancing around, you pantomime taking a drink, askantly searching for a waiter or someone to help you. Glancing around, XXX pantomime taking a drink, and then askantly searches for something.
DRINK With drink You guzzle your melon-berry punch, the pink liquid dribbling past your lips and down your chin. You curl your fingers into a fist at the edge of your plain dress's sleeve and use it to wipe your chin. XXX guzzles her melon-berry punch, the pink liquid dribbling past her lips and down her chin. She uses the sleeve of her plain dress to wipe her chin.
EAT No food Trying to remain inconspicuous, you gnaw nervously on the sleeve of your plain dress as you watch your surroundings. Trying to remain inconspicuous, Caeileen gnaws on the sleeve of her plain dress as she nervously watches her surroundings.
EAT With food You take a great big bite of your lemon meringue pie, causing a large pat of filling to loudly slap upon your decolletage. Tilting your head, you glance surreptitiously around and shrug before leaning forward and lapping it up.

Suddenly remembering your surroundings, you slowly look up with a blush.

XXX takes a great big bite of her lemon meringue pie, causing a large pat of filling to loudly slap upon her decolletage. Tilting her head, and not missing a beat, she leans forward and laps it up off her exposed flesh.

Suddenly remembering her surroundings, she slowly looks up with a blush.

PAT Realizing your skirts are misaligned from the bodice of your plain dress, you give what you think is a gentle tug. Unfortunately, you aren't used to such subtle behavior and end up battling with the garment. You hear a seam pop during your fashion brawl and turn sixteen shades of red as you fervently hope that no one is watching. With jerky movements, XXX tugs the skirts of her gown into place. The movement is swift, reminiscent of a barmaid batting at the hand of an overfriendly patron. As she gives it another sharp pull, you hear an unseemly ripping sound and watch as she turns sixteen shades of red.
PULL Feeling the bodice of your plain dress slip, you grab the front with both hands and pull the unholy device forcibly up higher on your chest. Indiscreetly, XXX grabs onto the front of her plain dress and yanks it higher up her body.
SNORT You laugh at your circumstances, the familiar sound of your voice ringing out as you clutch the stomach of your plain dress and wave off any would-be rescuers with your free hand. Braying like an uncultured swine, XXX clutches the stomach of her plain dress as she laughs, flapping her other hand wildly in the air.
TURN While standing You dance with grace and poise, swishing your skirts of your plain dress about you and hoping that you remember all the moves correctly. You pirouette on one foot, feeling divine and light, and then wonder what is going on as your foot gets tangled in the suddenly loose underskirts. Flailing like a mad woman, you tumble to the ground in a pool of fabric Twisting and twirling, Caeileen's limbs seem to be akimbo to her waist, but somehow, she manages to perform a small pirouette. As she completes her turn, the skirts tucked into the waistband -- exposing parts better left covered -- cause the hem to awkwardly bunch, and she stumbles over them, only to fall to the ground in a pool of fabric.

Tier 2

Usage

Verb Style First Third
DANCE You sashay about, enjoying the dance until your feet utterly betray you by getting the heel of your soft leather boots caught in the lower edge of your plain dress. Unable to pop it free, you bounce on one foot for several seconds before just slamming your foot down. Unfortunately, it takes the bodice with the skirts, and you quickly clutch the neckline back in place. You emit what you hope is a delicate, embarrassed laugh. Somewhere between sashaying and dancing, XXX manages to stick the heel of her soft leather boots into a delicate loop of lace on the lower edge of her plain dress. The fabric, somehow, manages to stay firmly stitched in place, but as she steps over the skirting, it sharply pulls the bodice of her gown harshly down. Clutching at the neckline, her face aflame, she pulls it up and offers a raucous laugh.
GIGGLE Excited, you squeal with delight and fluff the skirts of your plain dress. Braying like a wild animal in what might be excitement, XXX fluffs her skirts with enough verve to expose parts best left hidden beneath fabric.
LEAN Taking mincing steps, you try to navigate the terrain around you without stepping on the skirts of your plain dress. Shuffling her feet, XXX awkwardly holds her skirts at an indiscreet angle as she loudly moves about.
SOB The weight of it all weighs on you, causing you to sob uncontrollably for several moments and try to bring yourself under control by picking at the skirts of your plain dress. Bleary-eyed, you rub your dripping face against your sleeve-covered forearm. Sobbing inconsolably, XXX blubbers for a short time while picking at the skirts of her plain dress with agitation. Dissolving into hiccups, she runs her sleeve-covered forearm, from wrist to elbow, under her nose.
SWOON From standing Attempting to mimic the dramatic antics of a lady you once saw at court, you sigh gustily and place the back of your wrist against your forehead, then flop to the ground. Unfortunately, you must have missed some nuance of how the lady you witnessed did this, because you smack your head on a <room furniture item/floor/ground> on your way down and knock yourself unconscious in a pool of your own skirts. With an exaggerated sigh, XXX dramatically throws her wrist against her forehead and affects a swoon. Unfortunately, she is much too close to a fel-framed divan on she way down and knocks herself unconscious in a pool of her skirts.
