[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.]

[Turns all the way around now!]

Really? ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

Un, really! [He nods and then smiles. It felt nice to at least shuck off the brunt of that guilt. Even if he still felt bad for what he'd done, at least he'd made things right]

So you don't have to worry about finding someone else.

[roadroller]

Aaaah, thank you~! ♪

[She comes running back and practically tackles him in a hug.]

[onethirdthesoul]

A-ahh! [Ryou just barely manages to avoid toppling over, and once he's regained balanced he just hover-hands the hug in return.]

D-don't mention it, really...

[roadroller]

But I appreciate it!

[Letting go, she gives him a bright smile]

Ok! Well, I better go get my stuff then. It will be easy to move, since it's just clothes. ♪

[Everything else she had is already in her roadroller, at least.]

[onethirdthesoul]

[Her smile must be contagious, because he can't help but return it. At least he'd managed to make someone happy.]

Sure. I can help if you want.

[roadroller]

Ah, you don't have to! I was just gonna pile it all in the car. ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

Your...car...

[She didn't mean the roadroller, did she?!]

Are you sure you want to waste gas for something that small?

[roadroller]

... Um ...

[Come to think of it, there probably wasn't a gas station on this island was there? She has some refills in the back, but.]

... Maybe you're right? ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

[Crisis averted!

Ryou just points down the hall encouragingly.]

We can just walk then! I'll help, so you won't need the car.

[roadroller]

[Yeah, it would have really sucked if she wasted all of her running-people-over gas on chores. Thanks Ryou, you're a pal.]

Okay! Let's go! ♪

[She pumps her fist in the air and takes him to her old room]

[onethirdthesoul]

[...Good thing he doesn't know what he's just done.

When they get to Rin's room, Ryou stays politely by the door, waiting for directions.]

Ah...

[roadroller]

Hm... wait here!

[Rin goes into her room, and then comes back out with an entire dresser drawer that she just hands him. They don't have boxes, so this will work.]

[onethirdthesoul]

[Ryou takes the drawer naively, and his knees buckle immediately under the weight. He just manages to not drop the thing on his own feet, but he's really struggling.]

R-rin...! [He's struggling too much to even use honorifics.]

[roadroller]

... You're a little weak, aren't you? ♪

[Len could have lifted that no problem!

Of course, he's a robot just like Rin is.

Fine, she'll take back the other half of the drawer.]

I guess carrying it like this is fine. ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

W-weak...? [He whines, unable to say anything else until she hefts up the other end, taking half the weight off him.

Ryou heaves a sigh of relief and adjusts his grip so both hands are on one side.]

This thing is really heavy! I don't know how you carried it out here... Anyway, ah, we should be able to walk like this.

[roadroller]

Ok! One, two! ♪

[She sets off, carefully pulling the drawer along with Ryou]

Anyway, I think all of my clothes were in here. The other drawers just had boring ones. ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

Eheh, wow... [Ryou glances down at the clothing as they walk, thankful that Rin's original room wasn't too far from his current one.]

I think you have more clothes in this one drawer than I have in my entire closet.

[roadroller]

Ah... well if you want more variety, I'd be happy to lend you some~! ♪

[she still thinks he secretly likes crossdressing]

[onethirdthesoul]

[IRK...]

N-no thank you, Rin-chan. Your clothes are nice, but they're not exactly my style...or size.

[They looked like they were barely her size, come to think of it.]

[roadroller]

...Oh. Right. ♪

[Rin sounds a bit disappointed at that. She forgot... not every boy can share clothes with her the way Len can.]

[onethirdthesoul]

[...He really has to wonder why she sounds so disappointed about that, but it's far from Ryou to ask. He just flashes her a nervous smile and continues walking until they reach his room.

Awkwardly balancing the dresser drawer in one trembling arm, he unlocks the door and quickly replaces his hand, leading them inside.]

[roadroller]

Ok, let's set this down and I'll unpack. ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

Un! [Ryou smiles.] Just this way.

[He brings leads them towards the bedroom, stopping just outside it so they can set the drawer down.] Here's good.

[roadroller]

Thanks! ♪

[She will quickly appraise the room, and then start transferring her clothes neatly. She has tons of outfits with a lot of variety. After a while, the drawer starts to seem like a portal to the clothes dimension.]
