Mr. Merrill's up to something.
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!

Re: OOC - Questions, comments, concerns!
They all show up in mismatched clothing, it's all they own now, everything else is gone.
In an ideal world he tells them no and they are made to suffer.
