SURPRISE LATE NIGHT NAIL PRESS RELEASE BECAUSE I’M LATE*

>wear my bottle
You dip the brush of your plum-to-black bottle into the sheen within and precisely apply it to your fingernails with a sweeping finish.
>stow bottle
You put a gradient plum-to-black bottle in your pocket.
>pluck sweetbrier
Bending over, you cup your fingers around a blushed sweetbriar rose and pluck it free from some flowering sweetbriar.
>push my press
You slide a blushed sweetbriar rose into a slot on your bronze nail press. Internal gears make a soft whirring noise as you crank the handle jutting out of the side, turning it slowly to carefully press the rose.
Roundtime: 10 secs.
>point my press
You slowly pull each finger beneath the central roller of the bronze nail press, transferring a minute design from the pattern plate, the details meticulously applied by tiny brushes.
Roundtime: 10 secs.
>look casil
You see GameMaster Casil the Devastatingly Handsome Meatshield of Ta’Vaalor.
He appears to be a Vaalor Elf.
He is taller than average. He appears to be very young. He has dark-rimmed pale grey eyes and alabaster skin. He has shoulder length, curly steel grey hair. He has a classical nose and small pointed ears. His square-shaped nails are brushed with a gradient plum-to-ebon sheen adorned across the individual nails by sweetbriar rose petals.

You can now purchase an unlock for the Gnomish Nail Press that will allow you 3 custom designs for foraged flowers (from foraging or from select room props) and 2 custom designs for insect/sea creature gems. Yes, there’s a reason it can’t be 5 each like gems, and no it won’t be changed.

You can switch between sides with TWIST. You can GLANCE at your press to see what design it will currently apply. If you have a gem, bug/seabug gem, or a flower inside, GLANCE will always return the setting aligned with that item. If there is nothing inside, it will return the current setting for the side you have selected.

If you own an auction quality press, 10 built-in designs have been added for each. If you own the auto-unlocking nail press from the Trove from Ebon Gate, your press will automatically unlock. In either case, please ANALYZE your press to update it.

CONSENT is still in the works. Due to the complexity of adding it, it was temporarily yeeted into the void so I could get the unlock out as close to release day as possible, since it’s already late. CONSENT will be included with the base item when it is added.
