a trip to the costume store

[The costume hall looks the same as ever - racks upon racks of all types of clothes, mirrors in which to admire yourself, et cetera, et cetera. What's on their mind as they head on in there to look around?]

[usogi]

[senri picks up the closest feather boa as he enters just to drape it over his neck because he's stupid]

Pardon the intrusion, Cheriiii. We're going to start looking for your room now.

[HE'S POLITE!!! and he's actually going to head for the mirrors!]

Can you check if there's any sort of pattern to the clothing racks, Ishirin-san?

[ritualization]

[well, what's on his mind at first is definitely finding this room-- though as he gives senri a nod and turns his attention to the clothing racks to look them over, he finds himself considering how different these outfits probably are from what he's used to.

but he's paying attention!! he's looking them over to see if they're organized in any particular way.]

Of course. Let me know if you find anything over there, Nito-kun.

[he doesn't comment on the boa, senri is just living his life]

[divus]

[Okay, well. So you know how the costume hall's thing is "if you can dream it, it will appear"? With "I want to find the secret room" on Ishikirimaru's mind, a sturdy wooden door materializes along the far wall.

Unfortunately, there's no handle, and no lock. They'll have to find a way to get it open.

But at least they know where it is!]

[usogi]

[ . . . . . . .

senri watches the door materialize

and he

busts a fucking gut]

Cheriiiiiii! What?!

[WHY DID THAT EVEN HAPPEN,,

he's going to try to approach it and just fuckin

knock???]

[ritualization]

-well, at least that part was easy enough.

[while senri knocks, he's going to poke through the clothes and try to find anything that seems out of place, moving them aside here and there to see if there's anything on the walls behind those racks

unless just knocking works ig??]

[divus]

[Knocking does not work, sadly. Nice try though.

As for the racks, nothing seems entirely out of place. There are fashionable dresses hanging next to more fashionable dresses on the racks, coordinated by color; outerwear is with outwerwear; tops with tops. The more costume-like costumes are sorted by type, as well: princess gowns and prince doublets near each other, cop costumes by military uniforms, sexy witches near sexy black cats, etc...]

[usogi]

[ . . . hm.]

Cheri said something about every girl being a princess... Ishirin-san, can you check out the ball gowns and dresses?

[senri's gonna see if he can look at the mirrors at all! are they all just super typical mirrors attached to the wall or can he gently lift them off the wall to look behind them]

[ritualization]

I'll see what I can find.

[he nods to senri-- if he's got the mirrors covered, ishi will keep investigating outfits!

but also, like

give him a minute to look at those because he's distracted by the sexy costumes. not in any sort of 'dad get out of the gutter' way, he is just. legitimately trying to figure out what is the deal with these, murmuring to himself.]

Why would these even be here? This is so little fabric...

[who would actually wear that...]

[divus]

[the mirrors are just mirrors!

...and the costumes are just costumes. is it something you could buy in a costume store? it'll show up here.]

[usogi]

People are into interesting things, Ishirin-san.

[this is not about kink lessons though

senri is going to pause in front of the mirrors and

STRIKE A POSE IN FRONT OF THEM]

This seems like something Cheri would like to do.

[ritualization]

I suppose they must be. I don't see much of a reason for that here, still.

[sexy cat outfits are not great to get stabbed in... but he is perfectly fine not thinking about it too hard, watching senri pose away.]

If not that, then-- you don't think we might have to put any of this on, do you?

[dubious... he'd kind of prefer not to.]

You're more familiar with what Sincerity-san is like than I am.

[divus]

[Senri looks great while he poses, but nothing happens. The door remains closed.

The racks of costumes, fancy dresses, and other pieces of clothing stay where they are. Oh, hey, there's a shoe rack back there somewhere...]

[usogi]

[HOURS LATER]

I can't believe it was sexy police officers!!

[SENRI IS RUNNING IN, WAVING POLICE WARRANTS IN THE AIR]

[ritualization]

It-- what?

[ishi just

stares at them

and exhales a looong sigh.]

... well, then. I suppose we were almost close before?

[time to find those costumes... lord]

[divus]

[well

senri is half right

the sexy police costumes don't do anything, though.]

[usogi]

[ :/ !!!!!

he's going to go ahead and put one on even if he's huffing as he does]

I can't believe Cheri's a pervert.

[this is a lie]

............

No, I shouldn't say that, he probably just thinks it's funny.....

[he took it back so fast]

[ritualization]

[he hates wearing this but he's doing it anyway

the shit he has done in this thread for the sake of helping senri find this damn room, honestly]

Are you certain he isn't?

[he is a very forgiving man but this has been a time.]

[divus]

[sincerity isn't a pervert THE SEXY COP COSTUMES DON'T DO ANYTHING

try the non-sexy ones you weirdos]

[usogi]

[what the fuck is the difference

cleavage?]

Why is there a variety of police uniforms anyway, Cheri...

[he'll just sigh and go get the normal ones :/ ]

[ritualization]

[idk maybe the sexy ones have shorts or something

but ishi will absolutely not complain about putting on a normal one instead, thank you sincerity for not actually being a pervert.]

This should work then, right...?

[divus]

[cleavage, bootyshorts, fishnets...

anyway, once they're all suited up like cops, the door swings open]

Nice job! You figured it out!

[usogi]

[senri didn't put on fishnets

and he just

cries]

Cheri, please tell me you have a place I can lie down. I'm so tired.

[ritualization]

You were not the one who had to put on... whatever that was.

[ishi is

also so tired.]

[divus]

[of course he didn't, he's dressed like an authentic cop right now]

Sure I do. Come in!

[He waves them into the room, which... Looks like a bedroom straight out of a mansion. There are wide, expansive windows flanked by curtains, sturdy, high-class furniture, expensive decorations, a dress form with a dress on it...]

Make yourselves at home.
