==Usage==
Two people must be in the same group, in order for one of them to tattoo the other person. The temporary henna tattoo shows up in a character's features, but it does not replace any of the character's features. The tattoo can be inked on a person's face, neck, arms, hands, or ankles.
Location options for inking include hands, necks, arms, ankles, and faces.

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.

Analyze

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>

Usage

Location options for inking include hands, necks, arms, ankles, and faces.

Verb Style First Second (Only if applicable) Third
FLIP Style You flip your stick idly around and decide to adorn the <location> of people you ink from now on. N/A N/A
PAINT First You step up to XXX and look her over carefully, deciding where the best place for a design might be.

(Type this line over again to decorate them.) Roundtime: 20 secs.

XXX steps up and looks over you carefully while holding a slender eahnor-hued stick in hand, apparently deciding where she might place a design on your face.

(If you do not want a face-painting, type DISBAND or LEAVE now.)

N/A
Second 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 XXX steps up to you and deftly makes several strokes with her stick, painting out a design upon your hands in mere seconds. XXX steps up to XXX and deftly makes several strokes with her stick, painting out a design upon her face in mere seconds.

Additional Information

The target must CONSENT to the painter's actions before the henna may be applied. The temporary henna tattoo shows up in a character's 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

  1. JOIN <player> or HOLD <player> (you and the target person must be in the same group)
  2. FLIP stick (while holding the stick, to choose either face, neck, arms, hands, or ankles)
  3. PAINT <player> (to begin the process of tattooing, this incurs a 20-second roundtime)
  4. 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: 

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>.

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. 

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.

Messaging

Paint Fading

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

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.

Errors

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

>paint fleece
It appears that Fleece has a design on already.  Can't overdo it now, can we?


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

>paint fleece
It appears that Fleece cannot be decorated at all.  Perhaps later?
