POISON JOKE - WARNING: NAKED CADE!

[adventurerextraordinaire]

((WARNING: At some point during a thread here, Cade will touch the poison joke flower. It will make all of the clothes Cade is wearing or puts on turn invisible, though only to the eyes of all adult characters other than Cade! So, while Cade, children, drones, etc. will all see him as normal, any adult character will see him as naked.))

A. The Flower Shop
[Cade has returned to the flower shop with a box of delicious pastries to try and make amends for his behavior the other day. While he is there, he will spot a strange blue flower that somehow managed to get into one of the bouquets...]

B. John Doe Park
[Cade is now under the curse of the poison joke, but completely unaware of it, walking about apparently naked to the eyes of all adult characters. He decides that since he is not getting to do much adventuring here in Mayfield, he better keep in shape! So, Cade heads over to the park to do some stretches and warmups first. He can be seen doing standing hamstring stretches, hip adductor stretches, jumping jacks, etc.

C. Around Mayfield
[Cade, still oblivious to the Poison Joke, can be seen jogging around town, really working up a sweat. He may smile and wave at you as he goes by.]

B!

[chalicejoker]

[So Hajime's still been skulking around the park with his Undead self, trying to avoid people as he keeps to the cover of some trees...

...and there is a naked human out there doing all sorts of exercises that probably shouldn't be performed while naked out in the park. He figures he's hidden enough and that Cade is oblivious enough not to be seen, so he's secure in offering a bit of advice yelled out from cover of the trees.

Because, really. There are kids present, man.]

PUT SOME PANTS ON!

Re: B!

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Cade looks about. Where did that voice come from? And is there someone around here not wearing pants (hopefully,an attractive woman)?]

"Who? Wha?"

Re: B!

[chalicejoker]

[Still sticking to the cover of the trees, Hajime tries again. Clearly, Cade requires more than just a random yell from the woods. He remembers Cade's name from that time they met in town, at least. It'll be helpful. Hajime's Undead monster self is not hidden quite as well now; he tried moving to hide himself better but somewhat failed his stealth check. Cade may see some freaky antennae or a large green blade sticking out from behind a tree at an odd angle.]

YOU. CADE MASTERS. PUT SOME PANTS ON.

Re: B!

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Cade points at himself as if to say "me?" He looks down, sees that he is indeed wearing pants, then looks around again, spotting a funny antennae sticking out from behind a tree.]

"Ha ha... is someone playing a joke on me?"

A

[queen_of_swords]

[She spots him the moment he comes through the door and has to resist the urge to hide. Briggs Bears don't hide from people, they fight! Instead she throws up her walls and gives him an icy stare.]

You will be paying today, right?

Re: A

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Cade gives a very happy smile upon seeing Olivier]

"Of course I am. In more way than one, too!"


[Cade produces a box from the bakery. It has an assortment of goodies in it, ranging from donuts, pastries, and coffee cake, to less sweet things like bagels and muffins, in case Olivier doesn't have a sweet tooth.]

"A peace offering; I'm sorry for my behavior when we met. My first day here may have overwhelmed me a bit."


[Cade is trying to give you the most charming look he can.]

Re: A

[queen_of_swords]

[Olivier is not easily bribed with food, she stares at the box of pastries. Okay, maybe she is since she doesn't enjoy cooking. She nods and moves the arrangement she'd been working on away from her and the box closer, so that she can inspect it.]

[After a brief moment, she decides on a bagel, no use letting him know she has a bit of a sweet tooth.]

Well, I did knock out the man of the house and tie him up for questioning when I first got here.

Re: A

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Cade chuckles.]

"Oh, that sounds like a very interesting morning."

[Cade smiles at you a bit dumbly for moment. He decides he better say something to fill the awkward silence.]

"So, it looks like you've got some interesting new flowers in here..."

[Cade absent-mindedly turns a blue flower in a nearby face around to get a better look at it. That's strange, you don't recall ever seeing that particular type of flower in your store before...]

((The 'joke' doesn't immediately take effect, I figured it'd be better for Cade's clothes to slowly start to fade out of sight while he flirts with Olivier.))

[kingofhero]

[. . . well that's probably illegal. He doesn't really want to both the guy - he gave Keith such a friendly wave, after all! But there were citizens to think about.]

Sorry, excuse me! Pardon me, could you stop?

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Cade turns around and comes jogging back. He stands before you, hands on his hips.]

"Well hello there, good sir! What can I do for you?"

[kingofhero]

[Just looking Cade full in the face here.]

Is going without clothes a custom in your world?

[Because he wouldn't want to be offensive!]

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[What a random question! Why would he be asking about something like that?]

"Well, it is, in some parts, as a matter of a fact! The people of the Forest of Foraoise only wore clothes during the coldest times of the year! I actually lived with them for a brief time.

But what made you ask me such a strange question out of the blue?"

park

[perfectsymmetry]

[There was a young man practicing soccer in the park, but has no stopped to stare in confusion for a split second before he turns his face away, bright red. He'll focus his attention on kicking that soccer ball. Yes. Until said ball goes out of his control and rolls Cade's way. CRUD.]

Re: park

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Cade sees the ball and merrily picks it up to bring it back to you. He jaunts over with quite the bouncing spring in his step.]

"Here you go! Did you lose this? Few things worse than a loose ball!"

[perfectsymmetry]

[Crowe is trying to be polite yet not make direct contact looking at Cade, face still bright red.]

U-Um, thank you, sorry a-about that. Loook, sir, I... While I feel that people should b-be able to dress how they like, there, um... There's children around and all...

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Cade looks at you, obviously puzzled.]

What are you talking about, sir?

B~

[wolfishsurvivalist]

[And here she was, enjoying the sunshine beneath a tree when she she made the mistake of looking up. For a moment she just stares, then her ears fold back and she rubs her forehead with a hoof. The emaciated wolfgirl-turned pony huffs, then decides that she might bring it up. After all, if she was ponified by flowers, this guy might not realize he was naked, right?

At least she certainly hopes so.]

Hey, mister! Do you usually go exercising in the nude or you just like the breeze today?

Re: B~

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Cade looks around til he realizes the pony is talking to him. He comes trotting over and crouches down to talk to you. As he gets closer, it becomes apparent that he is quite a good-looking fellow.
Whether that makes it more or less awkward for you remains to be seen.]

"Well hey there! Are you another one of Pinkie Pie's friends? And I think maybe you think that nude means something else than it does..."

Re: B~

[wolfishsurvivalist]

By nude I mean I can see all your bare skin and probably more of you than anyone should see when first introducing themselves. You didn't put any clothes on today.

As for Pinkie Pie, well...I can certainly understand why you'd think so.

[Great thing about being a green pony is that no one can tell if she's blushing. Mika manages to tear her gaze away from him (because really she had hoped he wouldn't get closer, it made his nakedness all too obvious at this distance) and glanced down at her scarred forelegs, then at her bony flank. Whatever cutie mark she might have had was completely erased by the massive scar on her hindleg.]

I wasn't a pony until earlier today. I do know of Pinkie Pie, though. Nice pony, super friendly.

C. Around Mayfield

[skypiratejohnny]

[He was walking home from an errand, as he didn't trust cars quiet yet... and blinked. Once he realized he was -staring- in disbelief, he quickly averted his eyes to the ground.]

Re: C. Around Mayfield

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Cade jogs by, a generous bounce in his step. He nods to you as he goes by.]
"Beautiful day for a jaunt, eh?"

Re: C. Around Mayfield

[skypiratejohnny]

[He shouted out after him, still keeping his gaze on the ground.]

A beautiful day it was, up until you decided to go streaking in broad daylight...!

C- Around Mayfield

[ooeeooahah]

[ Just minding her own business, headed back to her house from Quinn's, and Sudden Naked Man arrives on the scene. Her wings flick out, mantle, then fold back into place as she processes the sight of a streaker in Mayfield. ]

You know, that wasn't really popular until the late Sixties.

Re: C- Around Mayfield

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Naked Cade stops before you, sweaty but smiling.]

"Well hello there. What were you saying?"

Re: C- Around Mayfield

[ooeeooahah]

[ Keeping her eyes focused on his eyes she answers. ]

Naturalist marathon training is not something generally you see in mid-America, even in my time.
