Hair-Braiding Tool

The hair-braiding tool is a scripted tool that is used to alter the hair quirk field of a character's features with a heavily customizable description that involves braids and, optionally, some manner of adornment. In addition, the tool will apply an interactable, invisible object to the user that is itself scripted for various messaging on verb use. This can only be self-targeted, not used on other people. However, there are no known limitations on number of uses, and the tool is not itself attuned in any way, so it can be handed off to be used by another character. Four of these tools were released in Prime and in Platinum during the Great Auction of 2016. Tool Analyze The creator has also provided the following information: This hair-braiding tool can be altered but must remain a fork-like object fashioned from wood and with a long handle. The tool is operated using the verbs LOOK, WAVE and WHISPER. WHISPER tool HELP for more information. This tool is tier 2 (of 2). Tier 2 lets the user create more elaborate braid designs. You get no sense of whether or not the tool may be further lightened. Usage Verb Style First Third LOOK This section has not been added yet; please add to it now!

WHISPER tool {QUANTITY|ADJECTIVE|STYLE|CONNECTION|COLOR|MATERIAL|ADORNMENT} [#] If no # is given, it will list the options for the specified attribute.

WHISPER tool [T]emporary | [P]ermanent On the permanent setting the tool will replace your original hair quirks text with the braid design. THIS CANNOT BE UNDONE. The advantage to this setting is that braids don't need to be removed before other items (such as hair jewels or Veola's hats) can be used. LOOK at the tool to see a preview of the design. WAVE the tool at yourself to create a braid or braids in your hair with the design you created with the options. The tool will change your existing hair quirk, so don't use it if you don't want to change that feature of your hair. The tool will not work if you have in your features a hair style of "bald."

silver for a moment. When your sight returns, you find yourself gazing out from a mirror as if it were a window into a dressing room. Before you, a human woman sits, a young half-elven girl resting on her knee. Humming a wandering tune, the woman carefully braids the child's hair into neat plaits, taming the unruly auburn tresses which closely resemble her own. The woman rests her cheek against the child's, hugs her into an embrace, and gazes into the mirror. As her gaze falls to directly match yours, you are startled out of the vision. As XXX sings to the hair-braiding tool, it glows for a moment. The dressing room returns as you sing to your hair-braiding tool, and the young girl appears front and center once more, a little older and garbed in a long black dress. The human woman is gone this time, replaced by an elven man who stands behind the girl, attempting to tug a comb through her unruly, tangled hair. The young girl cries out in protest, and with a defeated sigh the elven man sets the comb down on the dressing room table, beside a portrait of the family of three. The human woman is noticeably older than in your previous vision, her curly hair peppered with grey. The man pulls a black bonnet over the girl's head and tucks her hair into it as the vision fades. As XXX sings to the hair-braiding tool, it glows for a moment. Your song again coaxes the scene of the dressing room from the hair-braiding tool. The elven man stands behind his half-elven daughter once more, guiding her as she sections her auburn hair with the aid of a fork-like tool and pulls it slowly, carefully into a loose braid. She beams at his reflection in the mirror and claps her hands in delight, and a smile crosses his face as the vision dissipates. As XXX sings to the hair-braiding tool, it glows for a moment. With a flash of silver, the dressing room unfolds before you as you sing to the hair-braiding tool. The half-elven girl, now a young woman, sits before the mirror, gazing at her reflection as she weaves her auburn tresses into a series of silky braids decorated with pink lace flowers with the aid of the fork-like tool. Passing a hand over her flawless braids, she sets the tool down beside the portrait of her as a child with her parents and smiles down at the portrait as the image fades. As XXX sings to the hair-braiding tool, it glows for a moment.
