♕ Game 46: Coral

[dramatispersonae]

[You find yourselves in a castle corridor, well-lit and bright from the many windows that are phased along the left wall. If you look out of them, you can see out into a bright summer day in a place you would not recognise.

At the end of the corridor is a stone door. Etched into it is the face of a gargoyle, who regards you sternly.]

[The room you have unlocked appears to be a giant, walk-in wardrobe. There are rows and racks of dresses, skirts and bodices in a variety of different colours (all of the team colours included, even those of teams who are not present). There are an assembly of beautiful wigs in every colour that it is possible for hair to be, and some that it is not, as well as a variety of hair styling products; a variety of shoes neatly lined up; all kinds of cosmetics; a variety of feminine underwear (and material there to stuff bras with, if you’re prepared to go that far); all kinds of belts, sashes, ribbons and accessories, from gloves to jewellery, and many different styles of tiara. There are also some fabric paints, a sewing machine and some other customisation tools available. Yes, there is glitter. There is an privacy screen also available for use. In the corner of the room is an ornate standing mirror. There is a door on the right side of the room, which is closed.

The White Queen’s voice rings out, sounding very amused indeed.]

Grace under pressure begins at home, especially for royalty. The amount of confidence that comes from being well-dressed is rather startling, isn’t it? Peacocks never have trouble expressing themselves, after all! So, your first task . . . take your team leader, whoever they may be, and dress them in a look fit for a queen -- or perhaps, a princess.

I would like to see elegance, so do try to make refined choices if you can. You will be rewarded for your originality and your team spirit, both in behaviour and result -- oh, but don’t justdress them in your team colour, that would be terribly dull. I will always prefer to award the creative. And don’t worry if your team leader is not the most naturally inclined toward feminine beauty! Work with what you have. If you cannot inspire, amuse!

When you have completed your look, have your leader stand before the mirror.

[her voice begins to fade.] Oh, and once you’ve finished dressing the team leader, if any of the rest of you wish to dress up, do feel free . . .

( OOC:

All the items I have just described are the contents of Doll Divine’s Princess Maker! Please use the Princess Maker to construct your team leader’s overall look. Naturally, the female model doesn’t work very well for some of you, but we shall all exercise our imaginations ♥!

And if imagination is not the most powerful tool in your arsenal, Photoshop is completely permitted for this task, knock yourselves out. Anything goes! The look for the team leader will be the look that is judged for the game. But if other characters want to get dressed up, that is your prerogative and I will look forward to seeing the results. Scoring includes both the actual makeover result and the way teams and knights interact and perform the task, so please be sure to play it out.

You have approximately one and a half hours to do your makeover! If you all finish sooner, we will move on, if it takes longer you can have an extra half hour or so. )

[…WELL.]

Ah… elegance and refinement, is it.

[pitching]

What.

[scalesfromeyes]

This was always more Silk Cat's arena than mine, but… Mm, I can do some sewing if you'd like.

[pitching]

We...have to win...

[fairlyheroic]

I think this'll be fun.

[scalesfromeyes]

Mm, I wonder how helpful you'll be?

[fairlyheroic]

. . . that's a good question!

[madasahero]

I'm certain of it.

[fairlyheroic]

Ohh, yeah. Hey, Sion.

[madasahero]

That's probably the most important part.

[scalesfromeyes]

I'm afraid none of these clothes look very familiar to me. They'll have to be a guess.

[madasahero]

Ah~, fashion changes very quickly, but elegance usually comes from the inside. Maybe you could try what seems to match your model best? His pretty hair color can be tricky though.

[fairlyheroic]

[omg laughing]

[pitching]

I'd like to see you try one on.

[fairlyheroic]

Me? No way, I'd look horrible.

[pitching]

[this face]

[nervwracking]

Let's do our best~

[pitching]

So you'll put on a dress after I'm done, right? Right?

[nervwracking]

Wrong! A mere knight should never wear his princess's clothes~

[madasahero]

[Has been here since the beginning! Laughing too.]

That sounds vaguely familiar.

[nervwracking]

Oh? You have experience with this?

[madasahero]

[So amused]

A little, yes. And my first day in Aather was spent playing a game very similar to that.

Incidentally, I was the one wearing the dress.

[pitching]

Ha ha ha ha.

[madasahero]

Ah ~, I played a game like that on my first day in Aather.
