View source for Henna stick

<table><tr valign="top"><td><!-- Please see Help:Item scripts page for instructions on how to properly create and format an item page.-->
A '''henna stick''' is used to ink people with temporary henna tattoos. These items are almost always a "stick," although, in the distant past, some were available as a "brush." The stick may be held in either hand while applying it to another player. One may not use a henna stick on oneself. <!-- This spot reserved for informational blurb for item. Remove as part of copy/paste.-->

<pre{{log2}}>
This is a henna stick that can be used with henna ink to paint players or objects.  The design on this stick is: a silvery blue zephyr design
Currently, this stick is targeted at the hands of a player.  It can be toggled by FLIPing it.  It must be DIPped into a pot of henna ink before use.  Limited merchants may alter the stick or the design.  Certain unscripted, basic items can be temporarily painted.

Syntax:  paint <player|object>
</pre>
==Usage==
Location options for inking include hands, necks, arms, ankles, and faces.

|<!-- First Person View --> You step up to XXX, your stick in hand.  The eahnor-hued stick begins to alight with faint tendrils of essence, and you let it move across XXX's skin as it draws out an exact, precise design.  After a moment, the light fades, and the ink upon XXX's hands glistens as it begins to dry

==Additional Information==
The target must [[Verb:CONSENT|CONSENT]] to the painter's actions before the henna may be applied.  The temporary henna tattoo shows up in a character's [[Character_feature|features]] in the unique field. The tattoo can be inked on a person's face, neck, arms, hands, or ankles.

A temporary henna tattoo can be worn even when a person is wearing blush on the cheeks, warpaint on the face, and a face painting on the face, all at the same time.

A temporary henna tattoo can not be worn with [[nail polish]], nor can it be worn with other face-worn items such as "a fake-looking white beard" either, nor any other item that takes the unique slot.

The tattoo will last at least four hours. There is no known way to remove a temporary henna tattoo before it naturally fades with time. Once a tattoo has been inked, no other tattoo can be inked over the previous one until after it fades.
===Instructions===

# {{boldmono|JOIN <player>}} or {{boldmono|HOLD <player>}} (you and the target person must be in the same group)
# {{boldmono|FLIP stick}} (while holding the stick, to choose either face, neck, arms, hands, or ankles)
# {{boldmono|PAINT <player>}} (to begin the process of tattooing, this incurs a 20-second roundtime)
# {{boldmono|PAINT <player>}} (this must be repeated to confirm the tattoo, no roundtime)

===Feature Location===
Here, in bold text, is the location of a temporary henna tattoo in a character's description:

<pre{{log2}}>
You see Lady XXXX YYYYY the Bard.
She appears to be a Human.
She is tall and appears to be young.  She has a shimmer of <EYESHADOW-COLOR> on her eyelids, beautifully <EYELINER-COLOR>-outlined blue eyes , <BLUSH-COLOR> cheeks, glossy <LIPSTICK-COLOR> full lips, bold <WARPAINT-COLOR> stripes on her face, and <POWDERED>, <SOFT>, tanned skin.  She has long, straight blonde hair pinned back on one side with a <HAIR ADORNMENT>.  '''She is inked with a <TEMPORARY HENNA TATTOO>.'''
She has a <FACE PAINTING>.
She has a <REGULAR PERMANENT TATTOO>, and a <PIERCING>.
She has <WOUNDS>.
She is wearing <CLOTHING>.
</pre>

===Identification===

A henna stick (whether it is a "stick" or "brush") will always reveal this message when you LOOK at it:

'''As your eyes travel across the <stick/brush>, faint tendrils of essence slither outward from it, and <design> slowly forms before your eyes. In a heartbeat, it fades away.'''

<pre{{log2}}>
Examples:

>look at stick
As your eyes travel across the stick, faint tendrils of essence slither outward from it, and a blooming roses pattern slowly forms before your eyes.  In a heartbeat, it fades away.

>look at brush
As your eyes travel across the brush, faint tendrils of essence slither outward from it, and a wispy black visage of a wraith with blazing crimson eyes slowly forms before your eyes. In a heartbeat, it fades away. 
</pre>
===Messaging===
====Paint Fading====

Over the course of at least four hours of in-game time, the temporary henna tattoo will fade and flake off:

<pre{{log2}}>
''1st person:'' The ink upon your skin tightens significantly, and you can feel the little fades and flaws begin to form upon the design.

''1st person:'' The ink upon your skin feels as if it's nearly about to fade away, and a few tiny flecks begin to drift into the air.  Looks like it's only got a couple hours left.

''1st person:'' The ink upon your face slowly fades away into nothing.
''3rd person:'' The ink upon Fleece's face slowly fades away.
</pre>

====Errors====

Target person has already been inked with a henna tattoo (they must wait until it fades with time, before getting another henna tattoo):

<pre{{log2}}>
>paint fleece
It appears that Fleece has a design on already.  Can't overdo it now, can we?
</pre>


Target person is wearing something on their face which prevents the henna tattoo from being inked (the target will need to remove that thing):

<pre{{log2}}>
>paint fleece
It appears that Fleece cannot be decorated at all.  Perhaps later?
</pre>
