[ There's cheerful singing coming from the journal. Winter Wonderland!

Her singing comes to a stop, however, and there's shuffling noises that can be heard. ]

That's odd... What... These aren't my clothes at all. I.. [ a startled gasp ] I don't remember putting this dreadful thing on this morning!

What on earth has happened to my clothes?!

Your clothes? What's wrong?

[misslafosse.livejournal.com]

Takeru, my clothes! They've... they're all gone! Replaced with these horrible rags!

[mousehearted.livejournal.com]

All of it? What about your closet?

[misslafosse.livejournal.com]

Every last thing I own, even the clothes I was wearing! They're all muddy browns, and they're dirty and tattered... I know I did not put this on myself this morning!

[mousehearted.livejournal.com]

What a strange loss...

[misslafosse.livejournal.com]

More like a cruel joke, if you ask me. Why would it do such a thing?

[mousehearted.livejournal.com]

The place doesn't seem to like to let people live comfortably...

[bakehimcakes.livejournal.com]

What's happened, Delysia? You sound upset!

[misslafosse.livejournal.com]

All of my clothes have gone missing! I'm left with rags!

[bakehimcakes.livejournal.com]

[gasp] How terrible! Wait just a moment, dear, I'm sure I have a few spare dresses to lend you!

[and now rustling on her end. PEACH TO THE RESCUE!?]

[misslafosse.livejournal.com]

[ HURRY, THE LACK OF STYLE BURNS ]

Oh, thank you so much, Peach! [ waits for the Princess to rescue her ]

[bakehimcakes.livejournal.com]

[ONE ELEVATOR RIDE LATER... Peach knocks on the door with an armful of fancy dresses! :,D]

[misslafosse.livejournal.com]

[ she practically throws open the door, placing a hand on her chest as she sighs with relief ]

Oh, thank goodness. You don't know how much I appreciate this! Come, come inside!

[bakehimcakes.livejournal.com]

[her eyes widen when she sees the state of Delysia's clothes, and she makes her way in as quickly as she can]

Anything for a friend, Delysia!

W-wow, that must feel awful...

[misslafosse.livejournal.com]

[ she scratches her arms. whatever material this is, it's cheap and rather itchy. :( ]

If they were at least clean rags I wouldn't be so distressed! [ she quickly moves behind her little dressing divider, throwing the dirty rags of cloth over it and holding a hand out for one of Peach's dresses ]

I promise that I will take very good care of your gowns, Peach. Oh, you are so kind!

[bakehimcakes.livejournal.com]

[hands her the first, and goes to set the others down]

I'm sure you will~ I'm just happy to be of help! And I never really wore these colours too often to begin with...

[misslafosse.livejournal.com]

[ she quickly slips on the dress, noticing how nicely it fits. ]

Looks like we wear the same size! We might have to share clothes more of--

[ but the moment she looks into the mirror she sees that the once vibrant dress is now faded into dull colors and tattered at the ends. she shrieks loudly. ]

The dress! It's ruined!

[bakehimcakes.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh..!!

Goodness, what happened?!

[misslafosse.livejournal.com]

[ she hurries out from behind the divider to show Peach the damage ]

I simply put it on and, and the next thing I knew, it looked like this!

[bakehimcakes.livejournal.com]

[have another shriek!]

B-b-b-but how? We both saw it just moments ago and...!

[iknowhowtogetit.livejournal.com]

What the- Why is everyone screaming?!

_{(ooc. hello, we can has thread merge? delysia > peach > jun?)}

[misslafosse.livejournal.com]

[ as if she really needs to say! ]

Darling, look! [ she holds her arms out away from her sides, showing off the now ragged looking dress ] Peach was going to let me borrow it, but, but it turned into this when I put it on!

Oh, Peach, I'm so sorry!

[bakehimcakes.livejournal.com]

Oh my.. oh my, oh my, oh my-- Sorry, Jun-- ..oh..

D-don't worry, I'm sure.. I'm sure it can be fixed! I-I... wow...

[iknowhowtogetit.livejournal.com]

[she rubs her eyes, stomping toward the two of them and running a hand through her hair, frowning]

Wait, what's going on?

[misslafosse.livejournal.com]

My clothes, everything I wear, even Peach's dress...

They all turn to rags when I so much as touch them.

[bakehimcakes.livejournal.com]

It's very, very strange! Suppose it's another of the castle's pranks..?

[iknowhowtogetit.livejournal.com]

That would be the only explanation.

[a yawn;] Guess she can't go out in public, then.

[misslafosse.livejournal.com]

You're darned right I can't! Not looking while I look like I'm, I'm poor!

[ she hurries behind the divider again, throwing off the dress ]

Let's try this just once more, please. There's got to be a way around this!

[bakehimcakes.livejournal.com]

[as she's handing over another dress]

I do hope it doesn't come to that! Think of the things you'll surely miss if you stay in here! Perhaps your will can beat that of this place. [must stay encouraging! D: ]

[iknowhowtogetit.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's cold as an ice cap out there... the only thing she's going to miss is catching a fever.

[misslafosse.livejournal.com]

[ but the second dress turns to rags as well, leaving Delysia in stunned silence. she tears herself away from the ruined clothes, reaching for the rags she had been dressed in before.

then slowly, out from the divider she comes with her head hanging sadly and a rather distressed look upon her face. ]

No...

[bakehimcakes.livejournal.com]

[frowns, tilting her head to the side. Was there no way around this?]

W-well, I suppose Jun has a point...

[iknowhowtogetit.livejournal.com]

[and a certain someone is asleep, curled up next to a tiny little ball of fur.]

[misslafosse.livejournal.com]

[ that's just how Delysia would prefer it stay until Peach can arrive with a few dresses for her to borrow. she zips her lips, though frets and paces the floor. ]

[iknowhowtogetit.livejournal.com]

[oh. good. someone actually gets to sleep for once. good night!]

[misslafosse.livejournal.com]

[ oh, she'll let you sleep, Jun, as long as her loud shrieking (http://community.livejournal.com/paradisa/7279344.html?thread=303330032#t303330032) doesn't wake you up! ]

[iknowhowtogetit.livejournal.com]

[and Felix flinches, scurrying underneath the bed at the shreiking

at this, Jun bolts upright, clutching to the blankets, wide-eyed]

WHAT!
