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.

kas got drunk and looked through her imgur account until her partner decided that "oh if it's bad clothing it's quinn? then these are the worst pieces":

Quinn begrudgingly put in the box: this sweater and also this one. (Which, if we remember from Cameron's New Year's party, flashes and sparkles in the silver parts when you tap the shoulder.)

CASEY...

Todd donates the only halloween costume he ever wears

Ivy's grandmother bought her this for Christmas two years ago, and she has yet to wear it, which she'd feel less bad about if A) grandma had taken the price tags off and B) it hadn't cost several hundred dollars.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: I googled the image to see if I could find the actual price and was delighted instead to find this pic of the back.

Mina thinks everything in her wardrobe is unironically adorable, but the promise of a prize forces her to rummage up these bunny shoes. She loves these shoes. Do not scuff them.

Micah contributes these twin antler headbands, one black and one white. Bring those back, they're important props for reenactments!

Chris donates a pair of heels that he really probably shouldn't even own because they're killer on his feet.
