Mr. Merrill's up to something.

[goosestaff]

Today after lunch Mr. Merrill sets up a large box in the atrium. (He was a big fan of the dance, by the way! He started an enthusiastic standing ovation even as the dancers and musicians were returning to their seats as though nothing had happened.)

"Now what I need from you kids is very important," he explains seriously. "I need all of you to find your silliest item of clothing, and then I need you to put it in this box." He pats it for emphasis. It's a bottomless wooden box with a lid that lifts on heavy-duty hinges. Items put in can't be taken back out, in the interest of stopping potential thieves, but Mr. Merrill will retrieve items for you if you change your mind.

He promises that all items will be returned to you over the weekend, but does suggest that no one donate anything they couldn't live without.

What this means is that we would like the students of Gooseberry to reply to this post with a description (or a link to a photo) of an unusual, silly, ugly or unique item of clothing (or accessory) that they might have in their possession. You'll find out why tomorrow!

• BRIBERY: The person who donates Mr. Merrill's favorite* item of clothing/accessory will get a Felix Felicis Laced candy, as detailed here. You have until midnight tonight (11:59 PM 4/20).


• The same character may make multiple donations.

* The one that makes the mods laugh the hardest.

DONATIONS

[goosestaff]

Reece trashcanning Cristiane Gifts

[peanutbuttercup]

Reece dumps the bronze suit that Cris gave him for the masquerade into the box. It was honestly going above and beyond the call of duty to have even worn it once at all.

Ariadne

[untarnish]

Ari donates a pair of shutter shades she won playing skeeball with Ulysses.

Levi & Ennis & Maggie

[gdilevi]

Levi donates his three-eyed cat shirt that Cecil hates and this hoodie of an alien eating pizza. He also has a Naruto headband for some reason.

Ennis donates this jacket that looks like a green dementor. The sleeves have thumb holes in them.

Maggie donates these size 11 wedge sneakers she regrets purchasing. They were totally the trend in 2013. She'll also throw in these cat pinafores: 1, 2, and 3.

Clem

[neattrick]

This is one of Clem's favorite shirts, which she wears regularly, and she hopes she gets it back unharmed.

FAYE

[whatsthescoop]

teenage mutant ninja martens

Ursula

[cecaelian]

Ursula donates the very large dead beetle that she was gifted back in January. Why the heck does she still have this.

Xavier

[solveforx]

Probably actually wears this shirt more than he should. Into the box it goes.

Lucas

[bubblewrapped]

Here Mr. Merrill, have a bug hat from Lucas.

Laurel

[kingofthefairies]

Face shoes. These are Laurel's favorite for dressing up, and she wears them completely unironically.

Robin

[hisshiss]

Robin donates his favorite tinfoil hat. He made it himself.

Wilde

[destructobot]

Doesn't care if he gets this cap back.

Riley

[riledup]

For the record, Riley thinks all of these clothes are crazy hella amazing and are more unique than silly, but whatever. She contributes her awesome and eye-catching sequined jeans, her incredibly versatile and stylish fishnet pants, and a boob shirt. Just a boob shirt.

Leo

[ninjaleo]

Here is one of the t shirts from his brother's gym.
It's very creative and it's never been worn.

Bash

[professionalcorpse]

After some contemplation, Bash drops in his zombie killing shirt ... and a Pretty Pretty Princess crown.

Jeffy!!

[racingstripe]

Jeffy just thinks this is the funniest shirt. T-REX!! TRYING TO DO PUSH-UPS!!! GET IT???

Rosy

[browbeats]

After this last season, Rosy's pretty sure her Lakers hat is the most ridiculous thing she owns.

Kenzie

[princeprincess]

Pink petticoat

Cameron

[gonnabefamous]

If someone was perhaps hoping Cameron might toss something like this into the box, and that it might never come back, they are both mistaken and unappreciative of bold fashion.

What he ends up throwing in is this. Where did he get them? Does he wear them? How did he find such tall tights? Why do they have his face on them? Who knows.

Avery

[un_kept]

Avery drops off these awesome slippers which she never got around to wearing because she felt silly.

Zachary

[readingrainbows]

this short sleeve, pink, "fashion onesie" which, don't get him wrong, he loves

Penny

[get_fucked]

Penelope drops off a t-shirt she loves but is willing to part with for the Greater Good of the School.

Oscar

[dumb_ass]

And Oscar drops off a slightly inappropriate (nsfw?) t-shirt his sister's foster family gave him one Christmas.

Chloe

[cmdrchloe]

After a bit of waffling, Chloe submits these socks.
