Subj: an elegantly long coraesine-threaded longcloak
You exclaim, “Time to go home!”

>look
[Northern Slopes, Bluff]
Lichen mottles the surface of boulders forming the bluff, their surface sheared of snow by gusting winds blowing up from the gorge below. The flurries are buffered to the northwest by a dense forest of pines that stand dark and seemingly impenetrable. A trail forms and winds away to the northeast, as though fleeing the maw of the shadowy ravine. It soon disappears, lost in a vast expanse of blizzard-swept tundra. You also see some icy rocks.
Obvious paths: northeast, northwest

>stare rocks
You stare at some icy rocks.

Speaking to some icy rocks, you exclaim, “Nuh uh! Not today, evil rocks!”

>tickle longc
You shift your fingers between the shimmering threads lining the inside of your coraesine-threaded longcloak and the fifth thread slips easily into your fingers. As you gently bring it to the front of the others, it releases a snowy, arctic breath of air carrying the mild scent of some local coniferous forest.

>gaze longcl
You pass your fingers over the shimmering threads lining the inside of your coraesine-threaded longcloak and they glimmer, sending tendrils of colors seeping into the fabric they weave through, imparting a picture on the inner fabric of your longcloak for you to see…
[Icemule Trace, Forest]
Snow crunches beneath your feet as you walk along the narrow path through the forest. The air is cold and crisp, and filled with the sharp scent of pine. Startled by your approach, an owl takes flight from the cover of a nearby tree. It passes so close you feel the rush of air from its wings. You also see a crystal gate.
Obvious paths: east, south
The mist-veiled scene provides an interesting counterpoint with the snowy, arctic climate of the mountainous terrain surrounding you.

You say, “Not quite the right place.”

>nw
[Northern Mountains, Pine Forest]
A ring of tall modwirs surrounds an outcrop of granite that peeks from a mantle of snowdrifts like a recluse. At the stone’s feet, the trail splits into tentative fingers in all directions, the remnants divided by tree trunks and obscured by snow.
Obvious paths: southeast, west

>gaze longcl
You pass your fingers over the shimmering threads lining the inside of your coraesine-threaded longcloak and they glimmer, sending tendrils of colors seeping into the fabric they weave through, imparting a picture on the inner fabric of your longcloak for you to see…
[Icemule Trace, Forest]
Snow crunches beneath your feet as you walk along the narrow path through the forest. The air is cold and crisp, and filled with the sharp scent of pine. Startled by your approach, an owl takes flight from the cover of a nearby tree. It passes so close you feel the rush of air from its wings. You also see a crystal gate.
Obvious paths: east, south
The mist-veiled scene melds almost seemlessly with the snowy, arctic climate of the coniferous forest surrounding you.

>cheer
You let out a cheer!

You exclaim, “Here we are!”

>pinch longcl
You gently handle the shimmering threads lining the inside of your coraesine-threaded longcloak, easing the topmost one into your grasp and will its imprinted sensations into your awareness until they fill your mind with such perfect clarity that you feel that shining edge of separation between you and there to waver thinner than the edge of a blade. With a deep breath, you step over that edge and open your eyes.

>agree
You adopt an agreeable expression.

>>>Far away… you hear Keios mocking you…

The world grows blurry and indistinct. After a moment everything becomes clear again. Looking about, you see…
[Gossamer Valley, North Valley]
Sturdy pines and spreading spruces dominate this part of the forest. Their branches hang heavily with the weight of accumulated snow, and clumps of snow drop constantly to the ground. The snowfall is thick, and the wind swirls it around. Southward, vision clears a bit, as does the forest. The trees are massed closest to the lake, and their abundance drops off drastically in direct proportion to their distance from the lakeshore.
Obvious paths: east, northwest

>gasp
You gasp.
>stomp
You stamp your feet.
>raise fist
You raise your fist in a display of defiance.

You exclaim, “You think the Dragonspine is going to stop me?!”

>gaze longcl

The fog-swirled scene melds almost seemlessly with the snowy, arctic climate of the coniferous forest surrounding you.

>pluck longcl
You gently handle the shimmering threads lining the inside of your coraesine-threaded longcloak and give the topmost one a sharp pluck. The thread shimmers sending a liquid cascade of color into the fabric of your longcloak that resolves into a rendered landscape so stunningly realistic, it could be mistaken as part of the existing area. You take a silent breath and step across the almost invisible seam separating one area from another, and with hardly any sense of movement at all, you find yourself in a new place.

>smirk
You smirk.

A bolt of lightning streaks down from the sky and strikes you!
… 20 points of damage!
Heavy shock to right arm numbs elbow.
You are stunned for 2 rounds!

A tremendous crack of thunder follows instantly!

I like how the climate/terrain is captured in it.

That’s kind of fantastic. I wish Brinret’s current cloak weren’t already so amazeballs.

Keith is correct

>> Teasers! We want more teasers!!!

Keios slings a hooded coraesine-threaded longcloak around her shoulders, the motion sending its fabric rippling in an almost fluid display of verdant greens, earthy browns and dusky greys. Quickly, though, the colors visibly shift to a close approximation of the surroundings, making Keios’s body almost disappear from sight.

Keios rearranges the folds of her coraesine-threaded longcloak about her, the movements sending colors rippling throughout its length.

Keios carefully pulls the hood of her coraesine-threaded longcloak down over her face, obscuring her features and greatly increasing the difficulty of picking her out from her surroundings.

>look keios
With her coraesine-threaded longcloak closed and its hood pulled low over her face, the color shifting nature of the longcloak’s fabric makes your eyes strain to simply pick Keios out from her surroundings, let alone discern any identifying features.

Speaking to Keios, you say, “OW, MY EYES.”

-KEIOS

Keios is pretty amazing. ~Wyrom

Any chance this can be updated to choose a thread with a number instead of having to cycle through all 20 every time you want to change teleport locations? I think multi-setting gold rings were updated to do this right?

Also, is it possible to allow the random “TURN” teleport feature to work in town? I can use “pinch long” or “pluch long” to teleport if I’m standing in a town, but the random room teleport does not work in town. I just think it would be really cool from an RP standpoint to be able to disappear in town without having to cycle through the threads.

As I gaze over the horizon, the wind tugs at my cloak and whispers, “Adventure” in my ear.
