InvestSouthside carefully considers an ornate, sculpted throne, fashioned out of dark chocolate.
The following information is recorded about it:
Large for a confection, this chocolate throne is nevertheless sized more to
fit a doll than any sort of person. The size does allow for a fair amount of
detail to be sculpted into the surface, however. The focal point is a hawk
with its wings spread across the back of the seat, and it sits upon clawed
lion's feet, while several little foxes have been hidden within the otherwise
busy design of engraving that covers the piece. In a slightly playful touch,
the cushion that covers the base of the seat is somewhat uneven, sitting
higher on one side than the other, despite being solid chocolate like the
rest.
It is priced at approximately 200 silver.
This 'an ornate, sculpted throne, fashioned out of dark chocolate' is a kind of food.
It has 5 bites remaining, which should be about 100% of the original batch.
It appears to be made of food.
It looks to be in excellent condition.
It weighs around 0 pounds.
It can be worn as follows: take
It could be easily held in one hand. (Actual size: 5)
Its value should be approximately 200 silver.
This can be embellished.
It should provide 66 energy per bite.
Taste:
Slowly, the bite of rich, dark chocolate melts on the tongue, smoothly
coating it with the creamy texture and imparting the complex layers of flavor
- both bitter and earthy with slightly fruity notes.

Noor nods.
Karrin states, "If anyone thinks of a topic, just let me know, and I'll add you in. Otherwise, I'll
let Temi start with the updates."

HIEROPHANT lifts an ornate, sculpted throne, fashioned out of dark chocolate to his nose and sniffs
at it.
HIEROPHANT states, "Chocolate smells like chocolate."
Rambling states, "It's everywhere."
Valora says, "Sure that hasn't inspired any plots to answer this week."
Rambling claims, "The header that is."
Aymeric claims, "Sorry, got up to grab some lunch. RP has been great this week."
Temi trails off, "I will be out starting Wednesday next week through Sunday for camping, so probably
won't have any internet access. I was considering not having any plot submissions this week and
giving you all an extra week to submit, and handling them when I get back..."
Temi wonders, "Would that cause any concerns from folks?"
Karrin states, "She's abandoning me again. I'm already lonely."
Temi claims, "I would handle Raylene's for the project before I go, since that's time sensitive, of
course."
Karrin nods.
Scarry states, "Nah, this seems fine."
Valora claims, "Not problem from me. Nothing time sensitive."
Aymeric says, "Sure."
Sparkles questions, "So should we get anything that was already in the plans in before a certain
deadline ahead of that cutoff?"
HIEROPHANT muses, "I think the new deadline for this round is just going to be next sunday rather
than this sunday?"
Temi says, "It would essentially just be a two-week cycle, so cut-off would be next Sunday, rather
than tomorrow, yep."
Temi claims, "So you could revamp anything with the extra time if you wanted"
Karrin nods.
HIEROPHANT claims, "I don't know that anything header-related -can- be time-sensitive, necessarily.
The header moves at the speed of Temi, whatever that ends up being. Everything else besides that
though, yeah."
Karrin says, "Temi's pretty good at keeping up with it, though."
HIEROPHANT states, "I more mean it's not automated or anything, it's all hand-crafted goodness."
Karrin says, "I do like the adjustment for header plots to once a week or once every two weeks for
timelines for processing - gives you guys a solid deadline, instead of 'oh no, it's processed too
early' type thing."
Karrin nods.
Temi nods in agreement.
Temi states, "We can definitely have a discuss about how that's all felt and if we should adjust
further in the future, but I do think it's been a good balance for folks to get involved and plan
ahead"
HIEROPHANT states, "It sets a kind of frantic rhythm at the start of the week as everyone learns
things and then scrambles to share results and then new plans and so on but at least it's fairly
consistent yeah"
Valora states, "I'm good with the pace. Been reliable and easily workable for me."
Temi says, "Sometimes better than others, depending on how quickly I can get all of them responded
to"
Temi grins.
Temi claims, "But yeah, that's that - other than that, a few other request type things, but nothing
big."
Karrin asks, "For our new players, anything we can clarify since this is possibly all a big foreign
language right now?"
Temi nods at Karrin.
HIEROPHANT states, "My only concern is the sheer volume of plots means things necessarily don't all
get answered on the same day, so it can take until Thursday or Friday of a given week to have
everything resolved, meaning it can be hard to plan the next plot early in the week if it's relying
on info from other people. If you're on some solo quest like me that matters less though."
Araket states, "I'm following probably 85 percent of it"
Karrin claims, "It can get to be a bit overwhelming when there are a lot."
Karrin nods at Araket.
Amalia exclaims, "To karrin "The concept of header plots, if it's a quick answer? Otherwise, I'll
work it out as we go!"
Temi claims, "Header plots are big staff-run stories"
Amalia is still learning commands, sorry.
Temi finishes abruptly, "Right now - the king and his twin sister are having a bit of a civil war"
Karrin nods in agreement with Temi.
Karrin states, "I was typing in a too-long-winded manner."
Karrin claims, "Temi's really good with politics and history, and she's having fun. I think. Pretty
sure."
Rambling says, "The kids are fighting and no one is winning."
Karrin says, "You can see what plot headers are up right now with PLOT HEADER LIST, and then you can
look at it with PLOT HEADER REVIEW and then the number. We've got two going, sort of weaved them
together."
Valora claims, "Idk I feel like I'm winning"
Temi states, "Plot advances are a system that players can use to engage with the world beyond what's
on the grid. Investigations on the bigger story, influences on the story, etc."
Karrin says, "It all sounds scary, but once someone walks you through your first plot, you will go,
"Oooooh, yeah, I got it.""
Amalia claims, "Thank ye kindly, that's helpful to know."
Karrin wonders, "Ok! Any more questions for Temi before we move forward?"
Araket questions, "Yeah, one, is there a way to see how much longer I have as a Cyan?"
Karrin finishes abruptly, "Type SCORE - at the top you'll see your RP hours beside "created""
Karrin states, "Once you hit 75, you are no longer cyah."
Karrin says, "Cyan, rather."
Araket exclaims, "Sweet thank you!"
Karrin states, "If you'd like to get out of it sooner, you can purchase established. But, I'd only
do that if you are set-set."
Karrin nods.
Temi claims, "And even then, only if you really need to"
Temi says, "Being cyan is mostly beneficial"
Scarry says, "You shouldn't skimp on being a cyan."
Araket asks, "Thanks! I was wanting to make some last minute changes and wanted to see how much time
I had left. That is the number before RP and not the number to the right of it, right?"
Karrin nods in agreement with Temi.
Scarry states, "There is no reason to, really. "
Scarry says, "Yes, it's RP hours, not online hours."
Capitalism has lost link.
Karrin says to Araket, "Correct, you're given your rp hours first, then your total hours online."
Karrin states, "Alright, I've been mapping out an adjustment to chargen this week that I hope to
have implemented in the next few weeks. And, I have been working on a wrap up to my plot header that
ended back at the beginning of February. We had some little setbacks to getting all of the real wrap
up information out, and I've decided to... sort of bypass the setbacks, and will get stuff out to
the appropriate people once I've prettied it up."
Araket says, "OK thank you so much. "
Temi claims, "There's certain RP that would have to wait until after cyan, is really the only thing"
Karrin nods in agreement with Temi.
Karrin says, "I put some ideas out on the ideas channel on the discord if you'd like to comment on
the thread about chargen - I will definitely take all feedback into account."
Karrin says, "Some serious rearranging will be happening."
Scarry says, "...Karrin I read that in the context of "RP after cyan""
Scarry claims, "Sheesh, ur wild."
Karrin pats Scarry on the head.
Karrin says, "Lochan has been a busy bee this week working on some streamlining for where I put bugs
for his tracking, and he's smashed some bugs for us."
Scarry states, "I'm scared, I need an adult."
Karrin says to Scarry, "Too late."
Karrin queries, "And that's all for me. Unless there are any other questions or topics, I can boot
you all back to grid or chargen or where ever you were?"
Araket queries, "Do we keep our OOC items?"
Karrin pontificates to Araket, "They're yours!"
Araket states, "OK sweet"
Temi finishes abruptly, "To do with as you will - keep or eat or whatever"
Karrin claims, "Actually, maybe a little bitter this week. It is dark chocolate, after all."
Karrin ba-dum bums badly.
Araket slow claps
Karrin claims, "Ok, two minutes to let us know if you have anything else."
Calivion claims, "Boo."
Calivion grins at Karrin
Karrin says to Calivion, "I know where your character lives."
Karrin states, "It's a valid threat. Honest. I know where all of your characters live."
Capitalism has reconnected.
Karrin shifts her eyes. "Have fun on grid!"
Temi says, "It's not really a threat so much as a statement"
InvestSouthside says, "Burn it all down"
Karrin nods in agreement with Temi.
