Do we need to claim it in advance or just go ahead and take advantage of the

Subject: WAR: ***special announcement****
At midnight as Oct 6th turns into Oct 7th, all of the clothing owned by the
canon characters currently in Toronto (excluding anything the character is
currently wearing), WILL VANISH. This occurs whether or not their clothes have
previously vanished (ie. Lacroix's clothes vanish again, for example) and
whether or not they are awake at midnight.
Remember the characters themselves are not controlled by their faction(s),
however, for some of them, their homes where their clothes are presumably
located, ARE controlled by a faction.
For those whose faction is not playing, or doesn't have a faction who controls
their residence, then anyone may post about it. For example, poor Urse has lost
everything except what she is wearing. Would anyone like to call dibbs
(announced on forkni, please) for writing about her reactions?
If there are any questions about this, it is up to faction leaders and/or the
post writers to make their best judgment call.

NNPack Summary - October 6
Title: Clothes Before Pride
Wed - Oct. 6 - Early morning
------------------
Smelling the irresistable scent of German cake coffee in the air, Soulseeker
emerges from her sleeping bag only to discover that her pink robe and bunny
slippers are missing. She immediately realizes that all of her clothes are
missing. She goes downstairs dressed in pajamas. The top has a picture of
Carebears’ ‘Grumpy Bear’ and the caption reads, ‘I don’t do mornings’. Some
N&Ners are still working on ideas for the Pizza payback. Michelle reminds
everyone there is a costume room in the Theatre’s basement and it might be
better to wear those clothes rather than buy new ones which could end up
disappearing. Soul heads down to the basement and returns wearing a 60’s hippies
outfit.
Title: Love May Be Free, But Nothing Else Is
Wed - Oct 6 - 9:30 AM
------------------
Soulseeker, wearing her hippie clothes, sits down at her computer and thinks
about the era of free love. She checks her email and finds a message from the
Mercs, advertising their services. Soul thinks the Mercs’ business may be down
because the Factions are too busy dealing with missing clothes. She’s a little
upset that her own faction hasn’t yet come up with a plan worthy of the Mercs'
expertise. She mentions there is one job, but she thinks the Mercs will want
extra payment. She hopes the Farmer’s Market planned for the next day will
fatten up the NNP war chest.

Subject: WAR: Diehards: Gone Too Far
Place: Die-hard Headquarters
Time: Morning October 6th
"The clothing thief has gone too far!" Chanda declared as she stalked into
the kitchen of Die-Hard headquarters that morning, causing the few Die-Hards
there to look up in surprise, especially when they realized that she was fully
dressed.
"But you have your clothes. Don't you?" Greer asked.
"My clothes are untouched, but the cats' clothes are a different story."
Chanda said as she sat down. "I was hoping to swing by the Raven at some point,
so I went to get Janette's fancier collar." Not that the collar that the
elegant black cat was wearing wasn't fancy enough, but obviously not what the
feline thought appropriate for a meeting with her namesake. "It's gone! All of
her collars are gone, and so are Nicky and Pinky's tie collars, and their
sweaters! Someone took my cats' clothing!"
"They took the cats' clothes? But I thought we decided they were safe,
since they weren't war participants." Greer said.
"We decided that the bears were safe. It completely slipped my mind that
the cats have participated in a couple of wars before. Apparently, whoever's
doing this has a very long memory." And what if they came back, and thought
that the bears' extra clothes belonged to the cats? It would be cheaper to
replace her own wardrobe that to replace all of those tiny little clothes.
"Traps, I am going to buy traps. Maybe it was the Ratpack. That would be just
like them, sneaking in and snatching something bright and shiny. And they're
fond of rats. I'm sure that means that they would love the chance to show up a
cat!"
"But what about the other clothes? I know there wasn't anything shiny on my
socks." Greer said.
"Maybe we have two thieves? I don't know." Chanda grumbled. "I just know
that I can't afford to lose more clothing. The bears' outfits are all feline
sized. If the thief gets those.... Is there even a shop in Toronto that has
enough clothing for 600 plus robbed bears?"
"There are shops for bears. I looked it up last night, since you seem so
fond of them, but one big enough to outfit that many.... Don't the clothes say
something on them about bears, though? Surely that would clue the thief in that
the clothes don't belong to the cats." Greer said.
"I'm not so sure about that. A couple of the sweaters were former bear
clothing too. I am getting traps. If those Ratpackers, or any other clothing
thieves try to come sneaking in here tonight, I'll be ready for them." She
pulled out a pen and started to write down a long list of potential trap
materials. As soon as she had finished eating, she was going to have to go
shopping for those things, and for replacement clothing for the cats.
"Does anyone know where I can get a guillotine? We don't have one in the
museum, do we?" Chanda asked a bit later,
"What do you need that for?" Greer asked.
"Traps. What about fifty gallons of industrial strength adhesive?"
"You are not putting fifty gallons of adhesive on anything in the museum."
Don finally spoke up as he pulled over the list and looked at it. Bags of rock
salt, giant mouse traps, and a field of garlic were the more reasonable items.
"And you can't get the garlic either. Remember Ron?"
"Right, I forgot there was a vampire here. Would a gas mask keep out the
garlic odor? Never mind, never mind. I'll think of something else. Maybe a
couple of giant mouse traps if it's Screed and his Ratpacker ilk sneaking about
in search of shiny things will do the trick."
"And what's this other list?" Don continued as he pulled the other piece of
paper Chanda had been writing on over.
"I was going to drop it off with the security guard, not that the security's
been doing us a lot of good so far." Chanda said. "I don't think any of my
other victims,,,, I mean, characters, know I'm in Toronto, but you can never be
too sure."
"Victims?" Greer said as she looked over at the list, eyes going wide as
she took in the length. "What have you been doing?"
"Nothing as serious as all of them try to claim. They're all in one piece,
well sort of." Chanda said as she took the list back and scribbled NCIS and the
US Marine Corps beneath pointy eared aliens. "Anyway, we've never had a problem
with characters from other fandoms showing up, but why take chances? I wonder
if I ought to give security pictures, too, so they'll know who to look for?"
"Gargoyles, Starfleet, aliens in Starfleet, fairies? Chanda, what have you
been doing?" Greer demanded.
"Nothing! Some of them are just scheduling preemptive strikes, which really
isn't fair at all." Chanda said. "Did I have cold steel or cold iron on that
list of trap supplies? I can never remember which one is supposed to be fairy
repellent. Maybe it is a washerfairy. You wouldn't believe how easily those
kinds of creatures get ticked."
"People in black suits and dark glasses, doctors from the state of Maine,
witches, US Marshals, Cousin.... What cousin is this? I don't think I've met
this one." Don said as he read the list.
"One of my cousins, not LaCroix's. He's trying to avoid the batch of new
relatives I dug up for him. I wouldn't put it past him to sneak up to try to do
some pruning of the family tree."
"Large purple skunks, Texas Rangers.... Chanda, we might have a problem
here. Remember Ron?" Greer said.
"Maybe I ought to delete that one. It isn't like I've actually done
anything to any of them, anyway." Chanda said as she took the list back and
started to erase. "I think there might be one who has a relation I've offended,
but still, they have no right to hold it against me." Then she stood, taking
the list and heading for the door. "I've got to go. I just hope I can find all
of this stuff, and replacement cat items before tonight."
Don and Greer exchanged a look as soon as she was gone.

Subject: WAR: Knighties Summary - Oct 6
1) Where Have My Clothes Gone? (1/1)
Author: Deb Henson
Date: Oct 5th
Time: Early morning
Erika is tired from all the early-war activity and goes to bed, snug in her
sleeping bag placed in front of the Loft's fireplace. The next morning, all
that blissful sleep vanishes in an instant when she realizes that all of her
clothes, except for her nightclothes, have disappeared.
2) Let Loose the Dogs of War (1/2)
Author: Brooksie
Date: Tuesday, Oct 5
Time: Right after "Cousins will be Cousins"
Brooksie comes back early from a Knightie outing only to find the recently
hypnotized Counsin Shelley loading all of Nick's precious antiques onto the
freight elevator, presumably to be removed from the Loft permanently. Mari,
who had been sleeping in a quiet place, was awakened by Brooksie's shouting.
Then some of Cousin Shelley's mischief is revealed. She has thrown out all
the coffee, crushed and trashed all cookies, and there is coffee spilled
over the upstairs floor and running down the stairs. And the kitchen floor
was, er, polished with a generous coating of vegetable oil.
3) Let Loose the Dogs of War (2/2)
Author: Brooksie
Date: Tuesday, Oct 5
Time: Right after "Cousins will be Cousins" and "Let Loose.,part 1"
The rest of the Knighties return to the damaged Loft. Nat, Katrinka and
Brooksie take the still supposedly hypnotized Cousin Shelley aside to get to
the bottom of her mischief. It is further discovered that some cookies, of
the exploding kind, left-over from War 12, were stuffed down the sink
disposal, causing predictable damage and black smoke. The offending coffee
maker was stashed in Vickie's sleeping bag, totally soaking it in the
spilled java. Sandwiches are discovered with a note reading, "For the
Knighties - eat well and don't cough up any hairballs." Since Bonnie ate
one with out any issue, said sandwiches were passed around the Loft.
Bonnie's cell phone was retrieved to check on what calls she might have made
while she was alone in the Loft, and it was discovered that she had had
several incoming calls during that time. The last number received was
dialed and Arletta, of the cousinly kind, answered!

Subject: WAR: Knighties Summary - Oct 7
1) Of Mercs and Chocolate -or- The Knighties Try to Make Amends
Author: Knightie Nat, with the assistance of Mildred, Merc Mommy General
Date: Wednesday, Oct. 6
Time: Early afternoon
The Knighties realize that all this attacking is generating much counter
attacking. Since the delivery of the noxious pizza to the Mercenary Guild
Hall in the early days of the War, the MERCS have refused to contract with
the Knighties. Knightie Nat discusses this with Nick. He reveals that a
friend of his is opening a new European chocolate shop over on Yonge Street,
'L'Amour du Chocolat, in just a few days. He arranges with said friend to
have a special private opening for just the Mercenary Guild. A hand-written
invitation, on chocolate scented paper, is hand delivered by "letter
carrier" Knightie Mindy, to the Guild. They decide to attend the special
open house. Once there, and once they have indulged in all the chocolate-y
goodness that shoppe offers, the proprietor delivers the message to the
Mildred, Merc Mommy General. It is "Please forgive us. We are very, very
sorry. It won't happen again." He tells them it is signed, 'The Knighties'.
Mildred is somewhat appeased, in her displeasure towards the Knighties, but
thinks, 'maybe they were halfway there ... but they weren't off the hook
yet!'

WAR: Cousins Summaries
Tuesday, 5th October, 2010
"Heads Together"
Author: Cousin Tserisa
Early Morning
Tserisa has called a War Council for the Heads of Cerberus,
herself, Arletta, and Tok. Tserisa has been chastised by Lacroix for the
Knighties attacking twice in a short amount of time - especially when the
Cousins were apparently careless in allowing the Knighties to figure out
which faction was responsible for the milk based glue gag. They also
discuss the fact that clothing disappearing from peoples' rooms is not
confined to CERK - other factions are reporting it as well. Arletta notes
that Shelley is missing, and she resorts to attempting to call her cell
phone.
"If It's Not One Thing."
Author: Cousin Becky
Mid Morning
Rhonda wakes up and finds that her clothing has now
disappeared. Remembering that there is a seamstress in the faction, she
calls on Cousin Becky, asking her to make something for her. Becky leaves
her new garment hanging on Rhonda's door - a dress made of green and yellow
and pink batik material.
"Not Again"
Author: Cousin Shelley
Late Morning
Arletta tries to contact Shelley by calling her phone. Her
phone is playing happy perky music, prompting Brandi and Arletta to think
the Knighties have done something to Shelley. Shelley answers, in a very
cheery manner, making Arletta realize that yes, Shelley has been hypnotized
again. The two of them go to Tok's office to inform her of where their Fang
of Cerberus is. Rhonda interrupts the meeting, brandishing a flier bearing
a picture of Shelley with two Knighties. In despair, Tok passes up the
Cousinly Bottle of Analgesics and reaches instead for the Cousinly Treasure
Trove of Antacids, and offers them around.
"A Little Stability"
Author: Cousin Tserisa
Noon
Tserisa and Zlato, having spent all of their money getting
the Cousinly Critters to Toronto, are finding themselves in need of funds.
To make money, Tserisa has started giving riding lessons to any Cousins in
need of it. While some of the clothing isn't exactly riding safe, it's all
some of them have due to their wardrobes going missing. Cousin Becky shows
a slight aptitude for riding, and lets it go to her head.
"Cousins Will be Cousins"
Author: Cousin Shelley
Early Afternoon
Brandi has some ideas for what to ask Shelley when she
answers her phone. When she answers the phone, though, Brandi, Rhonda, and
Arletta all realize that the hypnotism is even worse than they expected.
Arletta tells Shelley she has a problem that she needs help with, and the
ever helpful Knightie Shelley is more than ready to. Arletta tells Shelley
that they'd heard the Knighties were really hungry and Shelley needs to make
her delicious sandwiches for them. After making sandwiches, Arletta calls
back with another problem requiring Shelley's help - mopping the floor with
vegetable oil. A third time the phone rings; Arletta again, prompting
Shelley to delete all of Nick's messages on his answering machine. When the
phone rings again, it's Brandi, insinuating that the coffee is not good
enough, and Shelley dumps each canister into the garbage. The cookies are
spotted, and Shelley smashes them into tiny crumbs with a frying pan and
then pours them into the garbage can as well. Finding cookies in the cookie
jar, Shelley stuffs them down into the garbage disposal and turns it on.
These were the exploding cookies, however, and they proceed to do what they
do best, and blow up the disposal. She also drags the coffee maker
upstairs, causing the water and coffee to flood into the hallway. Arletta
calls one more time, telling Shelley that such old things surrounding the
Knighties would never do. Agreeing, Shelley begins loading some of Nick's
antiques onto the elevator when she's finally noticed by someone. Despite
feeling some guilt over possibly overstepping their boundaries, the Cousins
remember the indignities they've suffered at the hands of the Knighties, and
find themselves laughing hysterically.

"Road Warrior"
Author: Cousin Becky
Time: Mid-morning
Becky has come out to inspect her SUV after the Knighties
covered it in contact paper and cookies. After researching how best to
remove it without removing the paint as well, Becky uses a heat gun to
soften the adhesive and then she scrapes the garbage off the truck and into
the waiting dumpster.
"Shadowy Plans"
Author: Cousin Shelley
Time: Late Morning
Brandi and Roger are still in possession of their clothing,
and quite a few Cousins are getting suspicious. Brandi is feeling terrible
about it, and consults her Doberman, Shadow, for a plan to take everyone's
minds off of them. Shadow comes up with the idea of pretending that her
clothes are gone. What could possibly go wrong with that plan?
"Share and Share Whether You Like it or Not"
Authors: Bonnie and Bonnie
Time: Mid-afternoon (Before Oprah!)
Bons (who is no longer a llama) is pulled into the War Room
by Arletta; Tok and Tser are there already. They inform Bons that there is
a War going on (in case she missed it), and that she has forgotten to ensure
her name is on the roster of people who are supposed to be inside CERK at
this time. Therefore, without proper registration, she must be . A SPY!
Bons is given a choice: go straight to the Cousinly Dungeon to be tortured,
or she can donate her clothing to the Cousinly Redressment Fund. Bonns (who
is our wonderful Receptionist) informs her that if she wants her stuff, she
needs to fill out the required binder of paperwork.
"Not Guilty by Association"
Author: Cousin Shelley
Time: Mid Afternoon
Brandi is roaming the halls of CERK, talking to random
Cousins and putting her plan into action. She decides to inform Bonnie (who
never was a llama) that she has lost her clothes, but Bonns is less than
enthusiastic over the news. Trying to be helpful, Brandi reaches onto the
desk and grabs a Post It to leave a message for her. Bonnie is quick to
remind Brandi that touching the Post Its is a huge no-no. Brandi runs away,
amending her announcement to "I have no clothes and Bonnie needs a
vacation!"
"Don't Blink"
Authors: Bonns (the Cousinly Receptionist) and Bons
(the-kind-of-sort-of-not-really-a-Cousin-but-kind-of-a-Cousin-if-you-squint-at-it-sideways-and-are-named-Cerberus)
Late Afternoon
Bonns finds herself bored on the fifth day since Tok had
handed her Post It that read "War." Of course there are plenty of
receptionist type things to do but nothing to stimulate the brain. She
attempts to find something to read, but that bores her further. so much so
that her eyes mutiny and sleep overtakes her. Bons, who is sitting on the
other side of the lobby with her laptop, finds her eyes have joined the
mutiny as well. It only takes a smack of Bons' face against the computer
screen and the resulting yelp of pain to wake them both. They find
cryptically written Post Its stuck to each other. Bonns figures out who
left the Post Its - Vachon - and they find themselves wondering why he would
stop in to visit but not wake them, unless he had an ulterior motive.
"Bonnie Confusion"
Authors: Cousin Shelley and Arletta
Right After "Don't Blink"
Which Bonnie is that? Tok and Arletta are confused. So are
the rest of us.
"What Is. Going On?"
Author: Cousin Roger
Early Evening
Roger is grateful that he didn't end up in a position of
leadership, especially after seeing what it did to Bonns. He had gone to
the Peach earlier to get some back up clothes, but those were gone too.
Instead, he grabbed a pair of socks from a fellow NA and returned to ponder
what the missing clothes all meant. Were the underwear gnomes nearby with a
sign reading "STEP 1: COLLECT SOCKS. STEP 2: ????. STEP 3: PROFIT"?
"Idle Hands are a Cousins' Playthings"

Late Evening
It's been a quiet day, and Cousin Becky decides to cook a
decent dinner for her faction family. Maybe it's the blissfully full
feeling, maybe it's the insanity, but talk soon turns to who the Cousins can
attack next and what kind of reasoning would be used. It soon becomes
apparent that during War, all reason goes right on out the window. (Recipe
upon offlist request.)
