FINALLY AN EDIBLE AMPOULE

The Aetherplex Chamber.
The spherical chamber is formed from a hollow geode comprised of dozens of precious gemstones. Large jagged formations of rubies, sapphires, diamonds and emeralds line the walls and ceiling. The floor has been cut and polished to a brilliant shine, revealing concentric circles of brilliant colours. Upon close examination of the glassy floor, shimmering reflections briefly glide across its smooth surface of wondrous mansions and abodes. A current of electricity continuously runs throughout this mineral wonder, causing tiny sparks to erratically blossom up and down the crystalline formations. Hidden deep within the environment lies a mystic pathway. Shimmering with aetheric energy, a bright glowing portal floats here in midair. Hackles risen, a fierce timberwolf prowls about here. Sniffing at the air, a great brindle mastiff stands here with a cheerful demeanor. A giant bat hangs here, wings folded about its body and one beady eye open. Covered in bone armour, a giant bat hangs here, wings folded about its body and one beady eye open. Jade Dreamer Luce Shevat is here, shrouded. He wields a delicate crystal staff in his left hand and a functional steel spatula in his right hand. Tikki, Sugary Savant stands here, his presence perfuming the air with the warm scent of mouth-watering confections. He wields a sticky spatula of Solstice peppermint in his left hand and a spectral measuring cup in his right hand. You see a sign here instructing you to use the PORTAL command to enter the aetherplex system. There is an aetherways portal here.
You see exits leading north (open door), south, out, and through a bright, glowing portal.

You tilt your head curiously.
You smile brightly at Tikki, your frills puffing with joy.

Tikki beams broadly.

You smile brightly at Luce, your frills puffing with joy.

Luce inclines his head politely to you.

Echoed by rippling waters, you exclaim, "Ah, good evenings you two!"
You hug Tikki as best as you can, pulling them into a tight embrace.

Tikki, Sugary Savant says to you, "What wonderful timing dear!"

You hug Luce as best as you can, pulling them into a tight embrace.

---> look Tikki

Tikki is here, taking in the scenery. He is a bouncing furrikin sugar-dusted demigod and stands about two and a half feet tall. His soft, husky body is covered in silky sable and cream fur, including a 'mask' of sable fur around his eyes. His creamy ears flick to and fro, interrupting the major exception to his colouration: his shoulder length locks have been dyed shimmering ruby and pulled into a ponytail. His snout ends in a pink nose, and his somewhat longer than average torso gives him a musteline appearance. He looks to have some bundled up energy as he can occasionally be found fidgeting with his bounteous and fluffy tail. His deep brown eyes are often trailing around the scenery, trying to take in every detail they can.
He is wearing:
a Pendant of Harmonic Perfection
a star-etched pearl ring
a delicate silk choker of sun kissed clouds
a pearl water lily ring
a subtly prismatic white suit of changeant silks
a sensuous pink tongue stud
the Quintessential Mandala of Resplendent Harmony
an etched garnet ring
a mark of Crumkane pinned to the left breast of his suit
candied prayer beads of the Lord Epicurean wound about the left wrist
a beryl sun ring
a smooth pearl ring
a bloodstone ring etched with salamanders
a Brooch of the Tempest
Beryl Wings of the Cracked Sun

Tikki hugs you compassionately.

---> look Luce

Covered in a coat of silky white fur with just a tint of jade, he is a bouncing furrikin berylline demigod whose form shimmers from time to time with warm gold and orange light. His snout is thin and narrow, with snowy white tufts of fur along its underside and extending from his cheeks until they connect with a small mane. This extends from the base of his frosted-jade ears all the way to his neck, where it narrows into a ridge about an inch across that vanishes under his clothing until it emerges along the top of his long, powerful tail and runs the full length to the tip, where it tufts outward like a paintbrush of pure white contrasting his natural jade tones. Each finger and toe visible is tipped with claw the colour of the last vestiges of night just before dawn begins. He has a nervous demeanor about him, his slight frame often visibly tense, and his quick motions occasionally leave golden afterimages in their wake. That long tail is either conscoiusly being forced to rest just above his ankles or is allowed to twitch about like a nervous cat's. A small braid and a turquoise ribbon have been worked into his mane.

---> look me

Small and cheery, she is a glistening mugwump tidal demigoddess of axolotl descent with pearly skin and six mauve-tinted frills. Her stature is not unnatural for a mugwump, barely above 4'3" and sturdily built. A bob of magenta hair flows from her scalp, adorned with shiny knickknacks, small origami, and albino feathers. Carefully woven, a single braid hangs from her disheveled bangs, affectionately clipped with a small, sapphire bead. Affixed to one frill is a tiny set of bone chimes, so small that it almost seems like an earring. Her skin has a soft, oily sheen akin to most mugwumps, but strangely enough, the skin becomes abruptly dry and brittle in some places. Most notable are her forearms and eyes, her pale complexion discolored to an uncomfortable gritty beige. Glittering mists soothe the damaged areas, ebbing and flowing in a constant tide across her skin. Frozen fog clings to her eyelashes like gems, shimmering and shifting with each blink. Clouded, milky grey eyes gleam at a certain angles, her gaze glowing with a vibrant inner light. Her warm grin reveals normal teeth with suspiciously wooden canines, while tree bark clings to the soles of her webbed feet. A long, thick tail lined with a frilled fin twitches occasionally behind her, stirring up dust and litter with each sweep. The pale frills that would usually extend from her tail tip are torn and scarred, the wounds long since healed.
Wait timer expired.
She is wearing:
Immaculate Prayer Beads of the Empyreal Goddess wrapped reverently around her bandaged right hand
a pair of thin spectacles tinted to reduce incoming light
a hat of sensational blooming
a silken blouse of dragonfly embroidery
a dangling lily pad earring through her left ear - like frill
a gentle water lily brooch proudly securing a leaf-green woollen blanket in place
a leaf-green woollen blanket pinned over a dark moss-green linen shirt like a shawl
a silver necklace set with star sapphires
a glass ampoule of bottled starlight hanging securely from her waist
the Mantle of Starlight hung about her waist like a starry skirt
a water lily stud through her right ear - like frill
a frost-touched white rose wedding ring

You tilt your head curiously.
Echoed by rippling waters, you say, "Goodly timing?"

Tikki, Sugary Savant says to you, "I've something for you."

You give a short gasp of elation.
Echoed by rippling waters, you say, "Really?"

Tikki gives a platter bearing a trio of edible ampoules to you.

You boggle at a platter bearing a trio of edible ampoules.
You have emoted: Cheliyi makes a noise like a pair of bellows taking in a great amount of air.
You have emoted: Cheliyi squeals at the top of her lungs, not unlike a squeaky toy allowed to deflate over time as she does a little jig with a platter bearing a trio of edible ampoules in hand.

Tikki giggles happily.

---> p platter

Nestled neatly within a slightly concave, shell-shaped platter is what
appears to be a trio of glass ampoules. Upon closer inspection however
it becomes as clear as their translucent appearance that the vials have
been made from expertly shaped sugar glass rather than its inedible
cousin. Each of the three, palm-sized vials contains a different
coloured liquid: green, white, and black, all glistening faintly when
the light hits the small flecks of gold that float within.
It has 25 months of usefulness left.
It weighs about 1 pounds and 14 ounce(s).
It has been preserved against spoilage.
It has a trade valuation of worthless.
It bears the distinctive mark of Tikki, Sugary Savant.
It has the following aliases: platter.

Echoed by rippling waters, you say, "OhmyGODS."

Luce smiles softly.

Echoed by rippling waters, you say, "TIKKI."
Echoed by rippling waters, you say, "You -genius-."
You give a trillingly melodic laugh, your frills resonating with joy.

Tikki, Sugary Savant says, "I do try!~."

You hug Tikki as best as you can, pulling them into a tight embrace.

Tikki hugs you compassionately.

You tentatively stick out your tongue and lick a platter bearing a trio of edible ampoules.
A small test lick to the outer rim of one of the ampoule's opening coats your taste buds with sugary sweetness.
It is extremely wholesome.
You put your nose over a platter bearing a trio of edible ampoules and inhale.
The sweet scent of sugar and tea radiate from the grouping of sugar-glass ampoules.

Chanting under her breath, you say, "Ohmygods ohmygods ohmygodssss."

You eat a platter bearing a trio of edible ampoules with gusto.
Unsure precisely how to begin attacking the curious confection, you idly
pick up the first ampoule which contains a clear, green-hued liquid.
Giving it a experimental swirl, you find that the fluid begins to
thicken as it melts part of the inner walls of its sugary container,
coating it with itself and the flecks of gold floating within. Tipping a
portion of the fluid up into the neck of the vessel, you opt to bite
into it with both a satisfying crunch and the taste of sweet, sweet
peach flavoured green tea. You continue to carefully turn and swirl the
contents of the ampoule around the remaining portion, taking another
bite once the balance of flavours has given way to the lingering sweet
of the glass dissolving, and in this way work yourself to the end of the
first container. Repeating the process for the two remaining ampoules -
one filled with a tart, lemon-infused white tea cut by the saccharine
vessel and the other a faintly bitter-sweet, raspberry-enriched black
tea - you are left with naught but the platter, which you discard, and
the sticky remnants upon your digits, which you deftly lick clean.

Tikki hums a happy tune.

You give a trillingly melodic laugh, your frills resonating with joy.
Echoed by rippling waters, you say, "Ah, this sates an urge I have had for -so- many years."
Echoed by rippling waters, you say to Tikki, "Thank yous, thank yous!"

You think to yourself: **warm, effervescent delight**.

You pat a glass ampoule of bottled starlight in a friendly manner.
You giggle happily.
Peering at her ampoule, you say, "You are safe, for now."

---> look ACTUAL ampoule

The translucent glass of this fragile ampoule has been blown into a small, spherical vial, its delicate shape fitting perfectly into the palm of one's hand. Within the glass vessel, a luminous swirl of argent light and mystic waters coalesces to form bottled starlight in an effervescent and sparkling elixir. At the apex of the vial is a platinum seal wrought into the likeness of a sacred star lotus, its immaculate petals gleaming as the flower unfurls above a fine chain of enough length to secure the vial loosely about the neck. Cradling the vial protectively is a round celadon receptacle, the smooth jade jewelled with the image of two pearlescent koi fish, one a stark white and the other a dark ebony, encircling the ampoule in a graceful dance of duality. A celestial light suffuses the glass ampoule with a soothing glow, emanating a sense of inner peace and calm.

Tikki, Sugary Savant says, "Of course dear! Perhaps at some point I can make more edible, holy symbol adjacent designs."

Echoed by rippling waters, you say, "Iyam gonna show this to SO many peoples."

Tikki, Sugary Savant says, "It's a public recipe too, as well!"

You clap your hands together merrily.

Echoed by rippling waters, you say, "You are a wonder, Sibling Tikki."

Tikki gives you a peck on the cheek.

Echoed by rippling waters, you say, "Iyam gonna head back to bed. But thank you, yes."

You hug Tikki as best as you can, pulling them into a tight embrace.

Absently, Jade Dreamer Luce Shevat says, "They are that."

Tikki, Sugary Savant says, "Rest well dear! Love!"

You smile wryly at Luce.

With your mighty index finger extended, you poke Luce.
Echoed by rippling waters, you say to Luce, "You are a lucky persons, yes."

You give the world a smart salute.

Luce stiffens momentarily, but nods.

With a warm wink, you whisper to Luce, "You deserve eachothers in the best of ways."

Echoed by rippling waters, you exclaim, "Muginn, away!"

---> tell Muginn sagenod

To whom do you wish to tell?

You peer about yourself unscrupulously.

Tikki giggles happily.

Echoed by rippling waters, you say, "Ah, Muginn is sneaky."

You give a trillingly melodic laugh, your frills resonating with joy.
You wave goodbye.

Luce waves goodbye.

You portal to The Hoard and the Hive.
