[EFFECT ROOM] Dresses for the Dressing Room!

[noisycircus]

[Welcome to Lapin Angelique! Everyone who enters this room will suddenly find themselves wearing a Gothic Lolita Dress. They may also have other gothic accessories such as tiny little hats, frilly parasols, vampire capes, or spooky plushies.

Bizarre things will happen if you try to take off the clothes. Maybe it will just be downright impossible, they're stuck to your body. Maybe you'll start to FEEL GOTH and the BLACKNESS OF YOUR HEART compels you to put the clothes back on. Maybe you start taking off the clothes, only to find that doing so causes you to slowly morph into a bunny until you put them back on (or until you're a bunny. But was that REALLY worth it?) It's all up to fate!

Either way, these dresses are probably staying on, at least until the effect wears off. Which could be anything from a couple hours to the rest of the day.]

Hmm....... [this is starting to seem fishy to Rin, but she'll undo it]

[onethirdthesoul]

[Okay, that bow had definitely been stuck, he's sure of it!

Ryou looks to Rin, stunned as a strange thought occurs to him.]

Rin-chan...may I ask you for a favour?

[roadroller]

[...super fishy! Although, his stunned looks are a bit convincing. Rin crosses her arms and thinks.]

Sure, but you'll owe me one too. ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

Un, of course, that's only fair.

[Jeez, what a girl! she hasn't even heard what he wanted from her yet... But he doesn't blame her.]

Then if that's settled, can you take the rest of these bows out of my hair, please?

1/2

[roadroller]

[That's what she thought. She's only been removing them in order to call his bluff, but it seems he's sticking with it no matter what.]

Aw, I don't wanna... they look good! ♪

[roadroller]

[Still... Her pout turns into a smirk after a moment.]

...But okay. A deal's a deal! ♪

[Rin walks closer and starts plucking them all out, humming a bit as she does so.]

[onethirdthesoul]

[He wonders what sort of scary favours this girl will ask for...but if it means getting to his room without dying of embarrassment, he'll take it.

When all the bows are out, he speaks up.]

Ahh, thank you, Rin-chan! You must have the magic touch or something, eheh.

[roadroller]

After all, I wear hairbows all the time! ♪

[THAT MAKES HER AN EXPERT. Or something.]

[onethirdthesoul]

Un! And you wear dresses all the time too, right?

[Ryou barely managed to keep his smile up, straining intensely!!!]

[roadroller]

Well, yeah... ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

[Casually, pointing up matter-of-factly with one finger. He was straining to keep a straight face. This was so embarrassing...!!]

Then I bet you can get the zipper on mine un-stuck!

[roadroller]

[She's detecting the strain now. Poor Ryou, he's trying so hard.]

Ah well... Whenever my zipper gets stuck, I make Len fix it, of course! ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

[Ah, she was making this really hard to ask...]

Un, of course. Since you can't see the zipper if you're wearing it, it's always easier if somebody else helps you. That's what friends are for.

[roadroller]

Lay it on thicker, why don't you... okay, take off that coat and I guess I will do it! Just 'cause we're friends~ ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

Ah, thank you Rin-chan! This really means a lot to me...

[Even if it's embarrassing as all hell.

He turns around and pulls the coat off, revealing the zipper on his back.]

[roadroller]

[Rin lets out another snicker. She really can't help it.]

All right, here goes!! ♪

[Reaching for the zipper, it meets more resistance than the ribbons did. She jiggles it a bit, before sighing.]

Well, it reeeally doesn't want to come off- but someone as great as me isn't gonna lose to a stupid zipper, ok? Hang on.

[She pulls slowly up... and then pulls sharply down] Hiyaaah~!

[it seems to have worked.] Victory! ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

[Ryou tensed, waiting with anticipation...only for Rin to be unable to get it down her first try. He can't help but feel a little disappointed]

Ah, okay. If it's not too much trouble, then--

Yeep! [He felt the sudden chill of air and the harsh tug of the zipper as signs of Rin's success. Giving an involuntary shiver, he quickly turned around, his hands grasping the opposing arm.]

You really did it! [Ryou was both shocked, and delighted.]

[roadroller]

[That yelp! Ryou's so cute. Rin giggles, holding up a V for Victory sign.]

Yup yup! ... So are you gonna take it off? ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

U-un, definitely. Thank you, Rin-chan.

[Ryou grabbed that coat and slipped back into the closet to change. He popped back out a moment later to try and raid some pants from the drawers, but then he's definitely going back in to change!!

He walked back out a few minutes later, dressed in three-sizes-too-big jeans and that same oversized coat. He seemed much more chipper than before, and significantly less red-faced.]

This should do until I get back to my room. I'll have to remember to come back here after to return the clothes, though...

[roadroller]

Nice. I'll come with! ♪

[Inviting self over and giving no fucks]

Hehe, you better hurry. You're sagging, it's totally uncool. ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

If you really want to. [He doesn't remembering inviting her, but after all the help she's been he wasn't going to complain.]

Ahh, I know...I really do look like a total mess. [He pouted, but hey, it was better to be unkempt than in a dress. Taking said dress with him, because he doesn't want to just leave it laying around, Ryou quickly heads out the door and into the hall.]

[roadroller]

[she wants to see what his room is like. because reasons.

Rin skips in step next to him, cheerfully ignoring the stopped roadroller slamming cracks into the wall from when she bailed on it earlier.]

So how far is your room? ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

It's not far from here. I was heading for it when you stopped me.

[Ahh, is it really okay to bring a girl back to his room? People might get the wrong idea... She might get the wrong idea.]

It's really not that interesting though, so I mean...you don't have to come.

[And if she knows where he lives, she might pop in unexpectedly at bad times...]

[roadroller]

[Rin's ignoring that hint just like she ignored the busted wall]

Is there anything else to do?♪

[onethirdthesoul]

[Siiigh.]

Not really. I only got here a few days ago.
