POISON JOKE - WARNING: NAKED CADE!

((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.]

[She sighs, not wanting to explain, but she figures she might as well explain before she has no choice.]

I don't normally eat, drink, and laugh because someone tells me, but I couldn't stop myself from doing what you said.

[Cade looks at you in disbelief.]

"Ok... so first you are fantasizing that I'm naked, and now you feel compelled to do whatever I tell you to?"

[Cade almost asks if you've been inhaling any "recreational plants" or are sure you aren't just acting out some fantasy of yours, but you look pretty upset. He is used to seeing you be all composed and intimidating, but now you are visibly distressed and have whipped cream all over your face.

Cade pulls a clean handkerchief out of his pocket (again, it seems to appear from thin air) and approaches you.]

"Ok, well, lets just calm down and not doing anything else crazy, ok? Here, let me clean that off your face."

[Cade is now uncomfortably close and gently wiping off the pastry cream that is smeared all over your face.]

I am not fantasizing that you're naked!

[And now calming down as he approaches.]

Why can't I clean it off?

[She wants to back up, but can't, that wouldn't be very calm, plus she has to let him clean off the whipped cream that's on her face. Instead she fixes her gaze out the window.]

[Cade grins.]

"Because I can see where all that whip cream is, silly."

[Cade finishes, then waves his hand over where you are looking.]

"Hellloooo? I'm right here, you know? Heh, if you were really seeing me in the buff, I'd think you'd be looking more, not less!"

[She glares, first past him, then at him when he waves a hand in front of her face.]

I'd rather not. If I wanted to see you naked, I would be taking you to my bedroom. I prefer to get to know someone before seeing them nude.

[Yes, she has to be woo'd, even if it may take different strategies than most women.]

[Cade's smile widens. With his short attention span, he's already pretty much forgotten your assertion that you have to do what he says.]

"Well, I can certainly respect that! So, tell me honestly, what kind of man does it take to woo tough major general Armstrong, hmm? What kind of tactics does it take to win that battle?"

[Her eyes go wide and she clamps her hands over her mouth, hoping to muffle the words that are already flowing out. From the words tall and rugged that get out before she covers her mouth, he can probably guess that she has a liking for warriors. But, even if he didn't quite hear her description of her perfect man, and that it takes sparring and loyalty to woo her, she's still as red as anyone is ever going to see her. And when she's finished she'll grown at him.]

Stop telling me what to do.

[After that, Cade looks at her in slight disbelief as it finally registers to him fully what she meant when she said she was made to be 'compliant.']

"Woah, wait, you have to do EVERYTHING I say?"

Edited 2012-04-25 05:54 (UTC)

[She grits her teeth.]

I should have just fled when I had the chance. I will hurt you once this is over if you make me do anything stupid.

[Cade grins to himself as he briefly thinks about all the silly things he could make you do. Then his mind turns to other darker possibilities, and he realizes how vulnerable this makes you; it surprisingly causes him to shudder a bit.]

"Hey, I am a gentleman! ...Mostly, anyway.

[His face takes on an unusually serious expression, though it is admittedly difficult to take him seriously under any circumstance, no less when he appears naked.]

"What... what if you have to do what anyone tells you? There are... people who I think might... take advantage-

Is there somewhere safe you can stay until it... wears off? Is your house safe? You can stay at my house if you want, in the bedroom with Jenny. I don't mind sleeping on the couch..."

[Cade seems to have suddenly dropped his egotistical posturing and appears genuinely concerned.]

Edited 2012-04-25 06:27 (UTC)

Yes, I know that there are at least a couple people who would love to hear about this.

My house is safe, it's just a matter of getting there.

[Does she want to show him the tunnel from the flower shop to her house? No, too much explaining.]

Let me just get something to plug up my ears, then I can be on my way.

"Only a couple? Either more men here are honorable than I'm used to, or you are very optimistic. I would have never thought of the earplugs, though!"

[Cade still looks a bit concerned.]
"Would you like me to escort you home, just in case?"

Edited 2012-04-25 06:40 (UTC)

Not necessarily noble, but loyal. There are many people here who would fight by my side if the need arose, just as I would fight by there's.

I don't usually take up the offer of an escort, I can protect myself, but it might be for the better. Just in case the earplugs don't work very well.

[Cade smiles broadly and gets over excited.]

"I will protect you until my death, if need be!"

[She shakes her head.]

Even if I was going to kill you afterward?

[Cade looks a bit startled, but then just smiles warmly.]

"I have faith you would not betray me so."

Why do you have so much faith in me, you hardly know me.

[Cade blinks twice, then looks at you as if this was a silly question.]

"I barely know anyone here. I have to believe in someone.
Besides..."

[Cade assumes a more boisterous posture. You've set of his ham reflex again.]

"...I am a paladin of Idamra! All of my order are blessed with the ability to see the good and evil in the souls of others with but a look! And you, Olivier Mira Armstrong..."

[Cade points at you dramatically. It looks very silly.]
"... I can see that you are a proud woman of great honor! And goodness! And strength and beauty!

TRULY YOU ARE A WOMAN WORTHY OF THE GREATEST DEVOTION! WHY SHOULDN'T I PUT MY FAITH IN YOU!?"

[Cade huffs and puffs, a bit winded from his hammy escapade. While paladins can see the evil and goodness in the souls of others, that ability disappeared upon Cade's arrival in Mayfield. He is mainly going off gut feeling and wishful thinking here.]

[Halfway through his speech, she walks away and finds some wax to plug her ears up with. Once his mouth stops moving she nods.]

We should probably go now.

[You can't make out what Cade says, but he appears to be agreeing cheerfully with you.]

[It's just occurred to her that she is going to be escorted by a naked man. Well, the other option is to flounce him through the house, and what would her housemates think? Well, Nox was the only one she had to worry about. Emmett and Fran would believe her.]

Oh, not the front, I have a passageway to my house. The entrance is behind the cooler under all the boxes of vases.

[You can't hear what Cade says in response, but he seems to be very excited about the prospect of a secret passage.]

((Not sure how far this is going to be RPed, but just remember that if Cade does enter the house and is seen by housemates, he will appear fully clothed to Emmett and Fran, but naked to Nox.))

[She notes the excitement on his face, and almost regrets telling him about it, but no use in having regrets now, it's done and over with. She takes to moving the boxes of vases and pulls up on the door, not wanting to see a naked man working at it.]

((She'd much rather explain it away to Nox rather than the whole town.))
