concealment -- mundane hood / mask / cloak shroud

How you play
  1. hood [up|down]   pull a hood (or put it down)
  2. mask [on|off]    settle a plain mask (or remove it)
  3. wear a shroudable cloak on the over slot (help clothing) buy travel_cloak at Hattie's Threads (Main Street block 3) or sew travel_cloak at the tailor bench
  4. shroud           draw the cloak tight (toggle -- shroud again to release)
  5. unshroud         cast the cloak back explicitly

While hooded or masked, strangers never see your login name:
  hood   -- height, physique, and skin only (no hair, no eyes)
  mask   -- height and hair, with eyes visible through the mask
  both   -- hood wins on hair/eyes; still no name

Drawn cloak shroud hides everything -- armor, clothes, bare skin, and your name. Look shows a shadowy figure only. Who omits you into Unknown
Count while hood, mask, or cloak shroud is up (even immersion cast -- fiction wins). This is not supernatural guise (help form) and not God mortal conceal (help conceal).

While concealed in town, civilians react with disturbing-the-peace unease (arrest heat) -- not Monster! panic or Elysian Accord breach -- until your veil drops. At high arrest heat, deputies seek you, demand you submit (`submit`), or force `unmask` -- then mortal law or masquerade fallout applies to what they see.
