Serving tray

Overview

A serving tray is an item which can be used to carry items, present them to other players, and allow those players to purchase an item from the tray. There are currently two different tiers of tray:

• Tier 1: Holds 10 items, only allows free items
• Tier 2: Holds 25 items, allows a price to be set on the items

Details

STUDY (Tier 1):

Studying the platter, you realize it is meant for displaying wares to customers.
It is only for sharing: everything displayed on it is free to take, and no coins change hands.

Items displayed: 0 of 10.

To display an item, PUT it ON your platter.  To take it back, GET it from your platter.
Everything displayed must fit on it.
To serve a customer, OFFER your platter to them.
They will see what is available and have one minute to BUY an item.
You can also SHOW it to someone, or ARRANGE, CLEAN, RAISE, RUB, TAP, and TILT it.

STUDY (Tier 2):

Studying the carrier, you realize it is meant for displaying wares to customers.
Customers pay in Kronars, and prices are set in coppers.

Items displayed: 0 of 25.

To display an item, PUT it ON your carrier.  To take it back, GET it from your carrier.
Everything displayed must fit on it.
To set a price in coppers: TAP carrier TO SET <item> <amount>
To give an item away: TAP carrier TO SET <item> FREE
To change the currency: TAP carrier TO CURRENCY <Kronars | Lirums | Dokoras>
Items that aren't priced or marked free are not offered to customers.
To serve a customer, OFFER your carrier to them.
They will see what is available and have one minute to BUY an item.
You can also SHOW it to someone, or ARRANGE, CLEAN, RAISE, RUB, TAP, and TILT it.

Usage

You can PUT an item in a tray to make it available for sale.

With a Tier 2 tray you can use TAP to change prices.

• TAP tray TO SET <item> <amount in coppers>
• TAP tray TO SET <item> FREE
• TAP tray TO CURRENCY <Kronars | Lirums | Dokoras>

You can SHOW a tray to someone to let them see the items on it, without the option to purchase. If you OFFER the tray to someone, they will see:

Presenting his tray with silent grace, <Player> angles its glittering surface toward you.
Displayed upon it:
  a rock - 1000 copper Kronars
To claim an item within the next minute, type ORDER <item> FROM tray.  For example: ORDER NECKLACE FROM TRAY

Messaging

Although the fluff verbs have shared messaging across trays, the messages for wearing, removing, offering, and purchasing an item from the tray can all vary across different items.
