Calder was beyond excited that he just HAD to show someone, and the lucky student he first came across happened to be Shun. Giddy and tail flicking behind him, he burst into a commotion that Shun just HAD to come with him, and locked him elbow to elbow before heading down a platform away from the doors and alongside a big tree to the left. "Sometimes I can't decide if this place is just scary or amazing, but this has to be amazing."
OMJ he was so excited!!
Smiling, he took Shun to a side platform and up a few steps even Calder braved to climb before stopping before over a basket. "I'm sure I just found one of the best ways to impress the horsemen." He waited a moment for dramatic effect before lifting the lid, showing mounds of tribal clothing. "Ta-da!"

Shun was really wondering what the hell had gotten Calder all excited about. At first he was reluctant to go, but the Kelpie had already begun to drag him through the platform to bring him to wherever it was. It wasn't until he mentioned a way to impress the horsemen that kind of caught his attention. What was that?
Though, he didn't look completely amused as the tribal clothing was revealed.
"...Really?"

Roch was going to get killed over his curiosity. He'd decided that earlier that day, actually, and yet he was stopping at the sight of Shun and Calder on a platform, wondering what they were up to. But--but this was Calder. He really doubted it was something like unlocking dangerous doors!
With that thought he headed up the stairs and onto the platform. "Sup, guys?" he asked, grinning. "What we doing, and does it involve some form of trauma?"

Calder was already pulling out a long loincloth when Shun's reaction was less than what he predicted.
"Really? What do you mean really? We can look just like the horsemen of War? Don't you understand that?"
He moved over, setting his hand upon the boil's shoulder and gesturing out to the expanse before them. "Just imagine it. The horsemen have already seen us fight and train, but embracing their culture and taking the initiative by dressing like them. Well, they would be impressed. It would be such a touching gesture. That we wanted to show how honored we are to be here and how much we appreciate them by really trying to just take in their culture in every aspect while we are here. They'll go - 'Why, those Amityville kids, I didn't think much of em, but they really seem to want to honor us. I'm touched that they aren't being ungrateful being here.'"
He smiled and handed Shun a loincloth. "I think this is your size." He moved back to the chest and dragged out a few necklaces.
Calder then looked up as Roch approached. "Roch! Come here and get naked." He casually told, looking for something in his size.

Catching Roch's voice, Shun turned around and raised an eyebrow. He hoped there would be no trauma involved in this. If there were... it would probably mean he'd go blind in his good eye from seeing something he really did not want to see.
...
"That depends, Roch," he said before addressing Calder. Well, he did have a point there. It could be good for impressing the local clan to say in the least. Taking the loincloth, he stared down at it. He still wasn't so certain of this.
"You sure they wouldn't end up taking it as a sort of mockery should we get this wrong?"

Roch looked a bit less... than enthused. Then he shrugged. "Hell, why not? We can at least try it on," he said. "Except I'm keepin' my boxers," he added as he kicked off his boots and unzipped his pants--the boil was all too quick to strip down, honestly. He seemed to have developed streaker tendencies.
"But only for a little bit, alright? Then we change back. We're leavin' for our next class sooner or later, right?"

Calder handed Shun a necklace and frowned. "Why would they be insulted? We're not prancing around and trying to imitate them. If they were so insulted, then wouldn't sparring with them and being up here be insulting? They've been really welcoming so far. Don't see them getting upset over something as silly as wearing their clothes for a bit. We're not stealing them after all." Borrowing. Lightly borrowing - just to try it out.
Calder watched Roch strip down quickly, and looked at his boxers. Oh yeah, boils wore boxers. Weird.
Taking a loincloth, he passed it over. "They don't really seem to have sizes, especially not for boils." Being all ghouls, he guessed they were made for more curvy hips.
With that, Calder then fished around for one of his own.

Shun took the necklace too, still furrowing his brow. Well... He did want to leave a good impression on the clan. Staring down at the objects in hand, he let out a sigh before setting them down so he could reluctantly remove his clothing, revealing the numerous scars around him as a result.
He paused for a moment though, unsure if he should remove his boxers too in the process. The Reaper looked at the loincloth, trying to figure out if they would show from under it. If so.. he probably should take them off else it would probably look a bit odd.

Roch pulled on the loincloth, blinking as it hung on his hips a bit, revealing the black and red heart patterned boxers. "Is there somethin' we can wrap around the top of this?" he asked, starting to dig through the clothes as well. He was... really going through with it. Seriously.
(Jack his rp'er hopes someone has a camera...)
"I want a necklace too!" he called to Calder as he went clothes diving.

Calder's butt wagged as he rifled through, offering Roch a sash of some animal hide, and then returned to find a loincloth, a few feathers, a necklace, and a nice strip that he could tie around his arm. Smiling, he set them aside, taking a moment to first rest them against his body and compare one loincloth to another, before he took off his jacket and his shirt. Then, last of all, he turned, slipped off his kilt, and revealed that Calder was very traditional with her heritage.
The loincloth was a little tricky to put on, and he pulled it on before trying to figure out which part was the front. "Hmm. I wonder if they have a belt in there." At least no one could say Calder wasn't fit. Constant swimming helped a lot.

Seeing how Roch did alright, Shun just let out a breath before attempting to put on the loincloth. It was a bit tricky, but he managed to get it on without too much trouble. From there, he grabbed a bit of animal hide to add around his waist to cover up the parts where his boxers showed through.
He was a little hesitant in removing the pendant that Mitsu had given him, so he kept that on in the least. However, he did add the fang and bead necklace that Calder had handed to him. From there, he found some sort of leather and feather armband that he went ahead and put on.
"If you find a belt, toss me one," he requested. It would probably help the hide and loincloth stay in place to say in the least.

Soon Roch was wearing a full outfit--complete with feathers in his mohawk and straps around his upper arms. He turned this way and that, trying to see himself. "Either of you got a mirror?" he asked finally. "And this whole loincloth thing is jackin' drafty--seriously, how do they FLY with this?" he asked, hauling it and the leather up again when it threatened to fall.
"So what brought this on, anyway?" he asked Calder (like fifteen minutes too late.) "Or did you just wanna see how you looked in their clothes?"

"I think ...this is a belt?" He handed off, before tying off a few more feathers in his hair and examining himself. His loincloth was slimming, if he did so say himself. The belt was nothing more than another layer of skins with a woven belt of some sort, and then he had a strap on his shoulder. A slender, silver necklace not taken from the chest hung from Calder's neck.
At Roch's accusation, he mocked a gasp. "I had nothing but the most respectable intentions." He said, raising a hand to testify, before smiling. "...but I do think I look nice in it, don't you think?" He said, asking Roch.

Taking the belt, Shun looked it over, then shrugged. It would do. He went ahead and tied it around his waist. Once it was set, he grabbed a few feathers to stick into his own hair. It was alright, he supposed. Granted, this definitely wasn't something he would wear on a normal basis.
"No mirrors around here as far as I could tell," he said to Roch before trying to look himself over. Perhaps he was done for now.
"I think I'm all set," he said before looking towards the others, "Does it look like I'm missing anything?"

"OH! I have an idea." Calder reached for his kilt, moving it aside to find his sporran, and his skelleyphone inside. Taking it out, he flipped it open, aimed, and took a few pictures of Roch, and then a few of Shun.
Walking over, he flipped through them, and smiled. "See. You both look good." Closest thing to a mirror they were going to get, and Calder made sure to take pictures at different angles.
