April Fools!!

[rubycitymods]

Ah, April. The beauty of early springtime. The flowers, the butterflies, the birds. The warm spring breezes.

The... Sudden disappearance of one's entire wardrobe.

That's right, Ruby City. As of the early morning hours of Saturday, April 20, the residents will discover that they have been robbed in perhaps the most bizarre, embarrassing way possible; Every stitch of clothing they own, new or old, is simply... Gone.

But your captors are not as heartless as it might immediately seem, however. The stolen clothing has, at least in most cases(players' choice!), been replaced. Just... Not with anything that even approaches what one might term "appropriate." What they might find instead will run the full spectrum of the absurd; Everything from ball gowns to Halloween costumes, frilly lingerie or bathing suits, fluffy bathrobes or perhaps something taken straight from a renaissance faire... You decide!

A few "lucky" residents will also find that certain personal items have been taken from their homes without a trace, though these they might be lucky enough to find throughout the city if they go looking for them, hidden in unlikely places or even deposited by surprise in the home of someone else entirely... There's no way to tell for sure unless they look, though, is there?

At the event's conclusion, all stolen articles will be returned, complete with a note which simply states, "April Fools'!"

...Because doing these things on the day itself, of course, wouldn't have been a surprise.

This is a city-wide event, and will run until the early morning of Monday, April 22. Participation is of course entirely voluntary, but encouraged! Any questions, comments, or plotting can be directed to the "Comments" section of this entry.

Have fun!

Was the change of clothes that the fairies stole from Integra replaced with a goofy costume as well?

[unit_202]

Absolutely!

Re: Questions / Comments

[lookingforhead]

So since Celty's clothing is just her shadow powers anyway, I just thought I'd ask for a ruling. Her helmet and PJs will go missing though.

[unit_202]

That sounds about fair. Her shadow-clothing will remain as normal, unless you'd rather her abilities be hindered to only allow something more absurd. :p

[lookingforhead]

Actually, now that I've had time to plot, I'm thinking her powers exist as normal but any attempt to make clothes just fizzles

Re: Questions / Comments

[trytryagain]

Magical girl outfits? They presumably don't exist before transformation sequences, but I guess their template could be messed with? IDk how it would work.

[unit_202]

I would say precisely that-- Their transformation sequence would just lead to the production of something entirely ridiculous instead of the standard ensemble.

Plotting

[rubycitymods]

[stylish_hunter]

The only obvious answer is kilts.

EDIT:

Changing my mind, Axl's clothes are going to be replaced with Jam's and I-No's outfits for the sheer ridiculousness:

Rose is getting left with some lovely regency attire but not necessarily traditionally gender appropriate. She'll deal because she wears your great-great-great-great grandpa's clothes. She looks fantastic.

{...} won't be so lucky. He gets a swimsuit and floaties.

[fairbrook]

Integra will be getting a closet full of dresses and she'll have no idea what to do.

Re: Plotting

[lookingforhead]

Come dress my dullahan~

[hypercompetent]

yeah that's definitely a girl's shirt

besides that i'm thinking straight up greaser clothes! and a red riding hood costume that he's not touching with a forty foot pole 8'D

[imafreaknow]

That link made my morning.

[soliloqwolf]

Toni will have a closet full of baseball tees, Crocs and acid-wash shorty shorts. She might cry a little.

Aya doesn't wear clothes, but might wander around curiously to awkwardly console people.

Re: Plotting

[wright_idea]

Are you prepared for the horror that is the "Feenie" getup? Phoenix sure isn't.

Hiroshi's is probably going to be an RPG Maker reference, but exactly which one I'm not sure yet. Right now I'm weighing 3 options:

1.) Garry's getup. This one's mostly iffy since I know an Ib is planning on apping.
2.) An Uboa costume.
3.) Dressed up like the generic RPG Maker default hero.

Any preferences?

Re: Plotting

[io_non_ti_invidio]

Uboa costume has to happen. It's just necessary.

[morethanpasta]

...lingerie, you say? XD Anyone wanna see Feliciano and his hairy legs in frilly lingerie? No, probably not, but you might have to...

Methinks Aristeo ought to get some nice neon clothes to match his neon pink hair.

Germany... hm, an embarrassing costume maybe. I'm thinking one of these mascot costumes. Chicken anyone?

[you_have_heart]

Loki's got nothing but women's lingerie and a silk robe. It doesn't bother him to much, so everyone will probably see him looking like a stripper.

[morethanpasta]

Let's bond over pinching panties and the confusing mystery that bra clasps are? :P

[you_have_heart]

YES. He uses magic to get everything on, but still, it is not very comfortable or convenient

[betteroffdead]

He can help Feli with his then. Poor guy can't even figure out shoelaces, bras are beyond him XD

[messengerofgod]

SABRA THIS IS SO RELEVANT TO OUR INTERESTS

[you_have_heart]

TOTALLY RELEVANT i HOPE GABE KNOWS HOW TO UNLACE A CORSET.

[messengerofgod]

sabra

he has that kielbasa you ordered

[you_have_heart]

the what?

[bowsbeforehoes]

crying

sabra this is beautiful

[you_have_heart]

come on Clint bb. You know he's sexah.

[bowsbeforehoes]

totally omg

[you_have_heart]

you want his baaahdy

[tigers]

the only answer is for Moran's entire wardrobe to become tiger striped.

[bifroster]

I was going to give Jane nothing but Victorian ball gowns, but then an awesome friend suggested that I give her Padme's clothes instead.

[you_have_heart]

Yes.

[bifroster]

8D

Re: Plotting

[messengerofgod]

gabriel's going to be dressed as a mailman

complete with the entirely too short shorts and ridiculous hat.

:D

Re: Plotting

[you_have_heart]

Loki's going to have entirely to much fun with that

[bowsbeforehoes]

So Clint will either be in Black Widow's catsuit going 'does this make my butt look big'.

EDIT: general consensus on plurk states that clint should be in the catsuit and he feels ~*fabulous*~

[unhealing]

Claudia is going to wind up with closet full of "nun habits" of varying degrees of modesty. So disrespectful, captors :|

[victoriantype]

Alice will be in this outfit with her hair styled into pigtails. (Magical girl-esque!). Morrigan will be dressed like this for kicks and grins. (But without an unlimited supply of Turkish Delights) and Archie will be dressed in this much to his dismay. XD

[asapphireheart]

Aqua will be stuck wearing nothing but overly poofy and difficult to maneuver ball gowns like This or This. And a few slips.

[io_non_ti_invidio]

I'm on the fence for Lovi, either pretty dresses or steampunk-esque fashion. Possibly pretty steampunk dresses.

Warren gets a panic attack colorful, friendly outfits that make him look approachable. He'll probably die.

[ticktockticktock]

Killian will be rocking a Hawaiian shirt and some short shorts.

Seriously.

Feel free to mock him endlessly over it 8D

[goodknightsweetprince]

Dave's everything is getting replaced with

He'll be angry about his shades disappearing, but you know what, he's going to flaunt it. Suck on that, city, you're not going to get a rise out of him.

Norman is going to wake up to find

in his closet and he's going to scream loud enough that anyone in adjacent apartments will hear him quite clearly. Luckily for him, behind the terrifying chicken suit is

and cargo shorts, which is rude as hell but he can deal with.
