Usage

Verb First Third
PUT
(food in)
You lower a maple bourbon pork chop garnished with apple and thyme into a rotund apple-shaped basket, taking a bit of cheesecloth from within to cover the dish and keep it fresh. XXX lowers her pork chop into a rotund apple-shaped basket, taking a bit of cheesecloth from within to cover the dish.
RUB You rub the side of your apple-shaped basket, preparing a maple bourbon pork chop garnished with apple and thyme for removal. N/A
TURN First turn: You are about to permanently remove a maple bourbon pork chop garnished with apple and thyme from your apple-shaped basket. If this is what you want to do, then TURN the basket again in the next 30 seconds. N/A
Second turn: Deciding that you no longer want a maple bourbon pork chop garnished with apple and thyme in your apple-shaped basket, you turn a dial on the side of it and then press an alarmingly red button. A loud hiss and smoke issues from the basket, the sound of something whining, and a soft, piteous, "Nooooo..." fills the air, but in the end, a drawer pops open. In the drawer you see a maple bourbon pork chop garnished with apple and thyme and a small sign that says, "Last of its kind." You quickly retrieve the basket. XXX turns a small dial on her apple-shaped basket, causing a lot of hissing, billowing smoke, and a faint plea of denial. In short order, a drawer on the side of the basket pops out and XXX lifts a maple bourbon pork chop garnished with apple and thyme out of it.

Tier 2

The Basketifier's second tier expands the number of food/drink items it can contain to 8 items total. In addition, it can be PULLed to turn the basket into a picnic blanket for serving.

To create a picnic, follow these steps:
1. PULL - to pull the blanket out.  This will move all food to the blanket, and the basket will be turned into a trashcan.

Usage

Verb First Third
PULL
(basket)
Placing a rotund apple-shaped basket on the ground, you pull a forest green blanket embroidered with plump golden apples and lay it upon the ground, repositioning the basket as a weight on one end. With practiced ease, you lay out each of the food items you had stored inside the basket, remembering as you do that this will make them available for all to enjoy. Pulling a bit of debris from a forest green blanket embroidered with plump golden apples, you toss it into the basket, which you now realize will act as a trashcan.

[[OOC Warning: All food items on this blanket are now available for public consumption. Your apple-shaped basket has been transformed into a trashcan and placed on one corner. Your green blanket will be out for 30 minutes at a time, refreshable with HUG. If you are not around when the timer is up, then you will need to see the local Adventurer's Guild to learn about recovery options for the basket.]]

N/A
PROD
(basket)
Placing the basket on the ground, you prod a couple of mechanisms in the bottom and step back. To the tune of mechanical whirring and buzzing, the basket slowly transforms into a painted applewood table as a pair of legs unfurl from its bottom. The walls and sides of the basket become the tabletop, and its lining transforms into a tablecloth. The various food items that once were within the basket become spread out for all to enjoy. You carefully tuck a rotund apple-shaped basket under the table, which can be used as a trashcan.
