Furniture?   Does ThresholdMurpe have furniture?

Impossible.  It's too difficult to implement so soon after its invention.  I know we've been unable to cross what scientists have dubbed "The Chair Barrier" and have been stuck with only technology for custom floral arrangements, jewelers. etc.  And the color-vs-flower-type technology is clearly in need of tweaking.  Pink sunflowers, my ass.

But chairs?  Inconceivable.

You say 'I'd like to order a custom flower arrangement.'
Alanna says 'Excellent! Would you like a single, bouquet, boutonniere, corsage, or circlet?'

You say 'A bouquet.  It's for Threshold.'
Alanna says 'How wonderful!  Would you like it to be white, red, blue, yellow, pink, purple, orange, black, budding, wilted, or dead?'

You say 'Ooh.  Pink.  I like pink.'
Alanna says 'A splendid choice.  Would you like it to be made of roses, poppies, orchids, sunflowers, violets, daisies, marigolds, carnations, tulips or forget-me-nots?'

You say 'No pansies?  Well, tulips then.'
Alanna smiles as she arranges a bouquet of pink tulips.
Alanna says 'There! a bouquet of pink tulips.  You may buy your order from me now, if you wish.'

buy tulips
You haggle the price down to 41 copper.
You buy a bouquet of pink tulips.
