Yep. Kites.

Here's how it would work:
-Add an item to the game called a "Kite Reel" with reskin prefixes like "Hallow", "Cobalt", "Turquoise", etc. This would work great in promo box sets.
-The Kite Reel would be a Usable item, with one catch: It's infinite. Meaning you can deploy and retract the Reel from and back into your inventory without losing it.
-Upon deployment, the Knight would face southward, lay out a prismatic Guild-style chair, and sit down in it. The Knight would then reel out a shield-shaped kite with a prefixed color scheme on it.
-The Kite itself would have the Spiral Order's horse emblem on it, much like a Great Defender. The emblem would be either Prismatic or attributed to whatever prefixed color scheme the rest of the kite had.
-Scrolling with the mouse wheel would extend and retract the kite, with a maximum and minimum reel length.

I'm suggesting this for the purposes of new, fresh visual appeal without too much work on the part of the developers. Plus, there's nothing to complain about! There's no balancing issues or gameplay effects a Kite Reel would possibly have other than immobilizing the player character for as long as they wished to have the Kite deployed.

Thoughts?

Wow. That's a great idea. Sitting under the Nick statue with a kite doing absolutely nothing.
Can we stand up? Or would that be really glitchy?

Standing might work. Maybe adding /sit support while the kite is deployed, but having the standing animation as the default. The player would still be immobilized and facing north, though. Immobilization to reduce lag, and north-facing so that devs only have to texture one side of the kite model.
