in which the jaunt was failed because sera spent the wholetime stealing an entire populations pants

[unagreeable]

Ugh, I hate using this head talking magic!

Hey, so, acording to that guy in all of our heads-there's a bunch of people over in the Caliphate that think they can tell people what to do. Think they can tell people what to wear, and stop girls from kissing girls, and I think that's fucked up.

So I'm going to go steal their pants. As many as I can. Who else is in?

...I'm in.

[He has no idea what's going on, but okay, this sounds fun.]

[unagreeable]

Welcome to the team. Rules are 1) We don't fuck with the little people

2) One who gets the most pairs of britches wins the imaginary crown.

[whydoyoushine]

Alright, then. I'll take that imaginary crown.

[Don't steal any pants from midgets, got it.]

[closetshark]

Or you could put bugs in their knicker drawers.

[unagreeable]

Tempting, but more fun to watch them scramble about in their knickers, shouting.

[closetshark]

What about both? LIttle pinchy bugs in their knickers and no pants to be seen.

What are you hoping to accomplish? Aside from mass nudity from the waist down.

[unagreeable]

I'm trying to give them a taste of what it's like to be controlled by someone else. Maybe they'll think twice, next time.

[brokers]

It's more likely that they'll crack down all the harder. People in power are rarely known for their self reflection.

If you want to embarass them in a way that has a chance to provoke change, you'd be better off turning up political corruption or scandal. Reputations can survive widespread clothing theft. Being caught taking bribes or breaking your own laws is far more damaging.

This is the most ridiculous plan I've ever heard of and I'm from a planet where they once approved a bloody horse as Count's Heir.

[unagreeable]

Would have made more sense if it was an ass, don't you think?

this is 100% canon from byerly's sourcecanon i hope you know

[bypartisan]

That was actually part of how Lord Midnight got approved, actually. If a horse's ass could become Count, why not the rest of the horse?

[oftoomuchfaith]

I'm in. Especially if there are breaks for public girl kissing.

[unagreeable]

Is that an invitation?

[oftoomuchfaith]

If you're cute enough.

You sound cute. I'm betting you are.

[timelessinventor]

Are you insane? I, for one, do not wish to go around in skirts for the rest of the Jaunt.

Second, all that is going to to is create hysteria and panic.

Third, do you have any concept of just how many pair of trousers that even is, unless you mean what are called in modern times underpants, and that, is just uncouth and unclean.

Seriously, my eight year old daughter was more mature than some of you. Grow the hell up.

[oftoomuchfaith]

Ooo, someone's touchy.

[timelessinventor]

Yes, because I do not like to see things go wrong because of people's inability to control themselves. I have seen too much of that in my life.

Besides, I am from the Victorian Era, I know what it is to be ahead of one's time. Even in the modern era, bisexuals do not have an easy time of it. However, I also understand self-preservation. Dear Oscar and I had very different views on the subject.

[notinthecards]

Maybe you're not thinking big enough, chere.

[unagreeable]

You start small, then you get bigger! That's the way it works, yeah?

[shantiprayer]

I hate to say it, but this isn't a good plan. It won't actually change anything. The people here are just the inhabitants that have been brainwashed by that system. Being cruel to them won't accomplish anything lasting. In order to make a change you'd need to overthrow the people in top position of the Caliphate government and put in people that are willing to fight for a change to the rules against the civilians that are naturally resistant to changed and so brainwashed they think this is what's best for them. Begin changing the laws, punishing those that insist on still following the old ways. Many will try to overthrow the new person just as they did the old. It will help to first enlist the aid of average people willing to rise to arms, to make that harder to do. The ones just brainwashed will often fall to pieces when faced with a new order. I'm not sure this Jaunt will let anyone get as far as the Caliphate though. Even less likely to be able to gather the resources in time.

...I'm sorry. I'm rambling, aren't I?

[oftoomuchfaith]

...You are so cute when you're being all leadery and shit.

Wanna help us inspire a rebellion?

[seventhbullet]

Sounds hilarious. I'm all about it.

[bypartisan]

... I'm not paying your bail either, I hope you know.

[He might. He... likes Braig? Sometimes?]

[ofinspiration]

Personally, I'm looking for a little more lasting trouble... [ And with more and bigger targets than the Caliphate... ]

But if you need a miracle or two to help you out, you're welcome to call. [ You can almost hear her smile, even in her mental voice. ] You seem like my kind of girl.
