When Used
Break out a window with a brick.
Chuck the brick at ______ (name or playerid).
Attach a message to the brick (500 characters max):
- You arc the brick through the window of <Player>'s <housing>, shattering it to pieces. Suddenly, you get back in your Bronco and take off like O.J. Simpson.
If the player has no housing or is incorporeal:
- <Player> hasn't got a tent or house, so you throw the brick at him while he isn't looking. The brick hits him in the <arse>. That was mean -- you shouldn't make fun of poor people.
If the playername is invalid:
- <Player> evaded your thrown item by the unusual strategy of being nonexistent.
If no message is written:
- No message? How rude!
If you try to throw your brick at Jick:
- Brick is no longer jickable. It was fun while it lasted.
If you try to throw your brick at a devster account:
- Thank you for the attempt to curse a devster. Your request will be handled in the order in which it was received. Or not at all.

History
- On May 10, 2015 the words "Gift Item" were removed from the item description, but there was no functional change since (unlike all other gift items) it was not tradeable in a Kmail. This was just a change in the item description.
