And with that, I win a bet.
I'm ashamed that the design got passed through, given what is cleverly masquerading as stylistic touches.

Not wacky or weird really, but these are the robes I made for the Illuminati GM
You carefully study a tailoring pattern.
Item: Robes Type: Greatrobes Org: Flameweavers Designer: Arix
Commodities: silk 90 cloth 25 gold 5 goldtint 5
Mortal Reviews: Allowed
Layer: NORMAL Bodyparts: chest, gut, arms, legs, waist
IMPORTANT: The main noun MUST use one of these: ROBES, ROBE
Appearance:
shimmering golden robes of the Grand Cipher
Dropped:
A set of golden silk robes lies here, shimmering in the available light.
Examined:
Elegant and practical, these robes of office are a blend of fashion and
durability. The bulk of the robes consists of pale gold silk, covered in
a dizzying array of strange patterns embroidered in gold thread,
designed to catch the light and dazzle the viewer. A closer inspection
reveals that some of the patterns are actually the names of previous
Grand Ciphers written in the script of the dracnari. The cuffs and
border of the robes are sewn of thick black cloth, and are covered in
double rows of strange ciphers of golden thread. Pitch-black cloth
covers the lining of the robes, adding to the heavy shadow provided by
the voluminous hood. A braided sash of spiralling black and gold
completes the outfit, with a nine-pointed gold star adorning each of the
dangling ends.
Comments:
Per the designer, these robes are based on the robes of office worn by Tlochaka Chum, as recorded in the accounts of the Cosmic Hope Expedition.

Well, dangling modifiers are not considered sufficient reason for rejection. Hence this design. Now I just wonder who'll wear it. I'm always amazed at how many people sleep in eight-poster beds.

Jeweler is one of the few trades I don't even have in reserve, so I can't even make one. But it's a public design.

Appearance:
a soiled potato pie
Dropped:
Covered in dirt, a potato pie sits here.
Examined:
The pastry of the pie is dark brown, probably due to unclean dough
though this is hardly helped by the thick coating of dirt. The top of
the pie has been torn to shreds, revealing twisted potatoes and Tainted
soil within. A geomancers delight, small, sharp stones are embedded in
the casing, clearly the reason the lid has been so ravaged.
Consume:
Savouring the thickest clumps of dirt, you begin to eat, smoothing out wads of metallic-tasting Tainted soil as you do. The potato seems rather normal, despite the earthy taste and grimy texture. The soil around it adds a coarse, grainy quality to both texture and taste. You proceed to consume the pie, stoically swallowing even large mouthfuls of dirt and rocks.
Smell:
An intense earthy smell is tinged with a metallic odour and the faint hint of potato.
Taste:
A reckless lick of this clearly unclean pie leaves an earthy, metallic taste in your mouth.

Also, yay Zafirah. This is in the Black Kitchens.
Appearance:
a caramel and vanilla sugar cookie covered in blood icing
Dropped:
A seemingly innocent sugar cookie lies here, waiting to be eaten.
Examined:
Small in size, this sugary confection has been baked from delicious vanilla cookie dough, streaked with blood and dotted with speckles of
dark caramel. Piped onto the top of the pastry in a spiralling design, the thick buttercream icing has been infused with a liberal amount of
groveller's blood, giving it a nectarous flavour. Seeming to have been placed in a last minute whim, thin shards of peppermint and caramel have
been stabbed into the sides of the dessert, their edges jagged and razor sharp.
Consume:
You carefully pick the pieces of candy off of the cookie and place them aside for a later moment. With an almost childish delectation, you slowly lick away
the icing from the outside edges of the cookie, leaving only the centre still covered. Taking a large bite, you crunch through half of the cookie, almost
gagging in disgust as you realise the inside has been filled with a putrescent mixture of half mashed maggots and rancid blood. Forcing yourself to swallow the half you have in your mouth, you wonder silently if it's worth eating the other half. Barely able to hold back bile, you shove the remainder of the cookie in your mouth, quickly chewing and then swallowing. You pick up the shards of candy and place then in your mouth, slowly sucking on them in the hopes of ridding yourself of the horrible aftertaste from the cookie.
Smell:
You take a whiff of this cookie and smell the rich scent of butter, sugar and blood with a very strange, unrecognisable undertone.
Taste:
Taking a swipe of icing from the centre, the only thing you taste is the odd amalgamation of the buttery, almost fatty tasting icing and the bitter blood.
EDIT: Yay hate kabob. This is mine, also available only in the Black Kitchens.
Item: Kabob Type: Delicacies Org: Kitchens
Ingredients: meat 5 sulfur 5 spices 10 redtint 2
Mortal Reviews: Allowed
IMPORTANT: The main noun MUST use one of these: KABOB
Appearance:
a kabob of hatred
Dropped:
A kabob of hatred has been discarded here.
Examined:
A shard of bone has been haphazardly wrenched from some greater whole to form the skewer that pierces each twisted piece of meat included in the
kabob. The meat itself has been rolled in spices and treated with sulphur, staining the meat yellow and hardening its surface.
Interestingly enough, each piece of meat has been cut into a simplified demon head and horns. Two black peppercorns have been used as eyes for
each head, and a thin, red, hateful sneer has been dyed with redtint.
Consume:
Dragging the first hateful demon head from the kabob, you chew on it heavily, biting down hard. You taste the terrible taste of sulphur, which continues to
harry your palate as you taste the scorching and unrelenting array of spices. The meat itself is tender and juicy, which provides some measure of relief. The two peppercorns crack beneath your teeth, releasing a final burst of heat. You notice that there are still other pieces of meat on the kabob and set your jaw stoically, determined to consume the remainder.
Smell:
A harsh, spicy, sulphuric scent offends the sense of smell as you sniff the kabob.
Taste:
A sharp, spicy taste flashes across your palate, bringing a wave of pain.

Ingredients: meat 5 sugar 5 milk 2

IMPORTANT: The main noun MUST use one of these: PORK
Appearance:
a packet of candied pork
Dropped:
Slathered in sugar, some candied pork has been left here.
Examined:
Coated in a layer of amber toffee, a large serving of candied bacon sits
inside a macabre packet which has been fashioned from sturdy black
paper. Gruesome in detail, images of pigs devouring themselves has been
painted onto the paper in bright metallic inks. A horror to the teeth,
the bacon has been cut thick from belly-meat, fried until almost burnt
and then dipped in an almost tooth-aching amount of crunchy toffee. Two
final touches have been added to the meat, the first being sprinkling of
powdered sugar and the second a drizzling of soft caramel.
Consume:
Grabbing one of the delights and placing it in your mouth, you slowly savour the delicious mixture of salty and sweet tastes engulfing your mouth. Bite after bite, you relish in the flavour and texture of it all. It takes no time at all for you to finish them all and with a disappointed groan you toss the empty packet away.
Smell:
The scent of bacon fills your nose, chased by an undertone of melted sugar.
Taste:
The salty flavour of the bacon and the sweet flavour of the toffee mix together into an almost ambrosial taste.

This vial has been cleverly carved out of marble into the shape of a
male raccoon furrikin. Barring lighter patches on the belly and legs,
his body is mostly a dirty grey-brown colour typical to a raccoon
furrikin. This is perhaps the result of several coal smudgings, and
lends itself to a somewhat rough-looking texture not unlike that of fur.
The figure is posed sitting cross-legged, holding a miniature lute. One
hand rests on the fretboard, while the other is frozen in mid-strum, no
doubt playing some imaginary tune. Little ears stick up from his head,
as if listening curiously to his surroundings, and bright eyes made of
tiny pieces of beryl sparkle in the light. A tiny nose and mouth have
also been carved in without too much detail, though upon closer
inspection the entire head is detachable as a stopper.
It has 307 months of usefulness left.
It weighs 2 ounce(s).
You drop a marble furrikin vial.
Pesukaru's Den.
The scent of earth and loam fills the air in this small room. Carved into the
side of a hill, this comfortable den is just the right size for a furrikin or
other small person. Brightly lit by a miniature fireplace set into the northern
wall, a sense of warmth and happiness permeates the area. Rising to grasp at the
sky, a colossal claw of snowy feathers embraces this milky crescent throne. An
elegant armoire adorned with silver and turquoise inlay towers here with its
panels ajar. A painting of the Celestial Bracers of Rhapsody is proudly
exhibited on a nearby wall. A paint palette sits on the ground. There are 2
monolith sigils here. A small marble vial in the form of a raccoon furrikin has

a gross attention to detail, their bodies contorting and bulging with
pain and pleasure, their forms pocked with hatefully glaring eyes and a
