[Video/Action] Like a Queen Bee, but too literal (Backdate to event start)

(Video)

[The video feeds kicks on to a pretty blonde who is not looking to pleased with her dressing arrangements. A silly bug antenna headband, bouncing around playfully as she tries to take it off. Not much else can be seen at the moment.]

As much as I like dressing up my dolls, this is annoyingly ironic. Is this supposed to be a bumblebee costume?

[The camera pans backward, likely carried by her helper dolls as Alice allows a full view of her costume, a one-piece leotard with black and yellow strips across her midsection, a quick turn reveals bee wings and a stinger on her bottom.]

This is not funny!

(Action)

[Alice didn't like this one bit. This is way to revealing and she can feel the stares of men on her, and it was writing her out. She can't concentrate on making dolls and doing her deputy duties like this. Who would even take her seriously?

Alice walks through the cobblestone roads of Fayren, going from clothing shop to clothing shop, trying to get a new outfit, only to end up back in the sexy bee costume again.]

This is ridiculous! The foolishness of these holidays have gone too far!

Showing yourself off, are we? You'll start getting suitors in no time.

[ And here is an amused looking vampire. ]

[Well if it isn't the scarlet devil...
Here be a still very unamused doll maker.]

Why don't you come to Fayren and say that?

[scarlet_devil]

Maybe I will.

At least on the upside... You won't start wanting to find flowers.

[It's really hard to tell if Yukiko is joking or saying it in all seriousness.]

Re: video;

Indeed, the urge to do such is absent. My dolls, however...

[Given what little sentience they're capable of, the camera panned to a small squad of Alice's helper dolls, dressed in bee themed Gothic Lolita costumes all tending to a flower bed. Not collecting pollen or nectar, but just ordinary gardening.]

Any idea how long the curse may last this year, Yukiko?

I have no idea, at best for as long as it was last time.

[Which really isn't all that long as she could remember.]

So a week or just a little bit over.

[ On the first day, she'd woken up to find herself wearing a catgirl costume ... and no, she's not about to broadcast that. ]

You have also ended up dressed strangely.

Is this the magic of Fayren again?

This seems to be the world of Genessia in general. Something happened in all five cities.

Everyone is wearing odd attire now?

Re: [ text ]

[superficially_busy]

No. Unless you count turning into a actual monster an odd attire.

Yes, Nova residents are apparently turning into monsters. There were monster attacks in Genessia after midnight, but there's no evidence of that right now. People are supposedly hallucinating in Attleton and Everglade turned to sweets...

I really want confirmation on that last one. Given how absurd it is.

I could go and find out.

If everyone looks or feels this foolish, I don't mind it.
