[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.]

[Rin doesn't know those people, but she supposes a big group is needed to play a game like this.]

Sure, it could be. But, is there anything I'd need to do to prepare? Like a character sheet or something? ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

Un, that's right! You'll have to pick your race, class, miniature, and then make up a name, personality, and a back story. After that you can roll for your stats and gear and start the game!

[He rattles off the details with a smile, not even having to think about them.]

[roadroller]

Hm. I guess I'll think about it. [headscratch] What kinda classes are there in Monster World? ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

There's several classes: The warrior, beast tamer, magician, bard, enchanter, martial artist, diabolist, magic gunman, illusionist, merchant, and thief!

But those are different from your race, which just designates what kind of clothes your character wears, the weapons they can equip, and what sort of base stats they have.

[roadroller]

Okay, then what about the races? I guess if it affects that then it'll have to be picked first? ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

The races are...human, elf, half-elf, hobbit, pixie fairy, dwarf, birdtail! Depending on what class you want, I could tell you the "optimal" race to go with it.

[roadroller]

[hm, nodding, seems pretty standard, she knows fantasy tropes well enough that she thinks she can guess but- wait what]

... What the hell is a birdtail? ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

Birdtails are a race of bird people! They can fly and have high charisma. Ehehe... [He doesn't think that fits you at all, Rin-chan.]

[roadroller]

[meanwhile Rin is seriously considering it because charisma is totes her highest stat irl.]

Hmm... do they have bird faces, or just wings? ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

Un, they have bird faces, although they can be pretty cute too if you make the beak smaller and give them a sort of human-hybrid look. I could do that for you if you wanted.

[roadroller]

...Nah. I think elf is probably better! ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

Elf works! I can work on your piece later today. Eheh, not that we can play anytime soon...what with my Monster World still needing to be built.

[roadroller]

Ok! And I don't need to know optimal classes. I'll be a bard of course! ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

Un, it fits you, Rin-chan.

[Ryou places his miniature back onto the desk, since he's just been idly holding it this whole time.

It was sort of weird, getting along with a girl who wasn't Anzu-chan.]

[roadroller]

[puffing out her chest proudly when he says that. OF COURSE IT DOES.]

I'm an idol, after all! ♪

[maybe she should put down this piece she picked up too though]

[onethirdthesoul]

Eheh, I just had a feeling you might like singing.

[A very strong feeling!] But you're really an idol? Wow! That's pretty cool.

[roadroller]

Of course I like singing! I did tell you I'm a Vocaloid, right!? 'S what I was created for! ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

C...created? [She was still going on about that? Ryou smiles nervously, trying to tentatively break the news to her.]

Rin-chan...we aren't roleplaying right now.

[roadroller]

Um, duh, I know that. Are you so convinced I'm a human girl? ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

Well, you look pretty human to me! [He reaches out to the side of his head, pulling his ears.] There's no elf ears or anything!

[roadroller]

Why would a robot have elf ears!? That's a total mixup of genres! ♪

[Take that, AVANNA.]

[onethirdthesoul]

U-un, of course...my mistake. [He lowers his hands, deciding that maybe it's better not to argue the point.] You're just so convincing, I didn't think you were a robot at all, Rin-chan.

[roadroller]

Hmm, well I'm flattered you think so! But I have no reason to pretend to be human. Being a robot is way better! Humans have all this body stuff... like farts. It's gross!

Oh, but as long as you have good hygiene, it's not too bad. You shower daily right? ♪

[these are important questions that his fate is riding on.]

[onethirdthesoul]

... [Oh god, his secondhand embarrassment levels are off the charts. Secondhand, and even firsthand! Was she seriously asking him if he showered daily?!

Ryou finally answers after a moment, and he sounds a little indignant all things considered.]

Of course! I shower every day, and brush my teeth too! Why wouldn't I...

[roadroller]

That's good. Sorry, I had to ask. You don't know the kinda men I used to deal with on a daily basis!

[his lack of a neckbeard was already a plus in his favor. Rin nods, looking satisfied.]

Yup, you check out. ♪
