@gIn A Tailor's Shop
@w This tailor's shop (if that's what it is) seems bare of some of the
@wessentials of tailoring. Namely, there seems to be no cloth or thread
@wpresent in the entire place. Windows are thrown open, letting in sunlight
@wthat reveals mannequins, needles, patterns, and other essentials to making
@wclothing, but nothing to actually make the clothing with.
@w
@g[ Exits: east west ]
@y(Golden Aura) @yA pudgy tailor holds up a piece of material that no-one can see...
@y(Golden Aura) @yA thin tailor threads a needle with a nonexistant piece of thread.
@wYou have created chocolate donut!
@wYou give chocolate donut to a pudgy tailor.
@wThe tailor eagerly takes the chocolate, licking his lips.
@CA pudgy tailor exclaims, @c"@CI love chocolate! Chocolate anything! I'd eat a roach if it was @Ccovered in chocolate!@c"
@w
@wHe hands you the ... 'clothing' he's been working on, and wanders
@woff, stuffing the chocolate into his mouth. You begin to understand how he got
@wso pudgy.
@w
@wYou receive a cloak of air from a pudgy tailor.
@w
@wYou give @Y50,000@w gold to a thin tailor.
@wThe tailor takes the money you hand him, looking around cautiously.
@CA thin tailor says, @c"@CI suppose you can look at it. Don't worry about it, I can always whip a@Cnother one up in a second.@c"
@w
@w' He giggles, and casually strolls to the other room, being
@wcareful not to look at you as you pick up the suit - at least you hope you're picking
@wup the suit - and run.
@wA thin tailor drops a suit of nothing.
@wYou get a suit of nothing.
@gOn The Street
@w The streets are lined with nobles, servants, peasants, and slaves, each
@wstriving for a good look at the emperor when he comes through the town,
@wdisplaying his magnificent outfit. Guards form a solid line between the
@wstreet and the hoi polloi, blocking off any physical access to the head of
@wstate.

@y(Golden Aura) @yA young boy points and laughs at the naked Emperor.
@y(Golden Aura) @yThe Emperor stylishly models... nothing. Just smile and nod...
@wYou wear a cloak of air around your neck.
@wYou wear a suit of nothing around your body.
@wYou feel evil as the Emperor begins to cry like a baby at your taunts!
@wThe emperor glares at you, his face slowly turning purple.
@CThe Emperor exclaims, @c"@CWHAT?! They promised me this was the only one they made! How dare th@Cose tailors upstage me like this!@c"
@w
@wNobody around seems inclined to point out to the emperor that he is, in fact,
@wtotally naked - except for that really adorable loincloth. You've never seen
@wone with pink dalmations chasing lavender kittens before, but you wonder if the
@wemperor would tell you where he got his...
@w
@wThe emperor grabs his sceptre from the carriage and attacks you. Looks like
@whe gets really hot in matters about fashion.
@RThe Emperor smoulders as the lightning destroys him!!
@wYou get a royal scepter from the frazzled corpse of the Emperor.
@wYou give a royal scepter to a weasel.
@CA weasel says, @c"@CErr, what's this sticky stuff? Doesn't look like blood...@c"
@w
@wThe weasel gingerly licks the scepter.
@CA weasel says, @c"@CKind of salty, but doesn't taste like blood either.@c"
@w
@wA weasel eyes the room suspiciously.
@CA weasel says, @c"@CAgain, I just don't want to know.@c"
@w
@wA weasel twitches nervously.
@wThe weasel tosses the scepter into the pot without any ceremony.
@wIt seems like this entire thing really is lacking in ceremony.
@wHopefully the seelie lords won't mind, or you could be in trouble!
@CA weasel asks, @c"@CWhat's next, what's next?@c"
@w
@wA weasel sits down and thinks deeply.
@CA weasel says, @c"@CThat's right! Next on the list is a golden apple. They don't grow around h@Cere normally.@c"
@w
@CA weasel says, @c"@CSo you're going to have to grow your own. Good luck.@c"
@w
@wA weasel snickers softly.
@w
@W**@Y Task Done @w: Bring the emperor's not so invisible scepter back to the weasel.
@W** @GTask Added @w: Bring the golden apple back to the weasel.
