#46 - Ugly Sweater

Draw or write about your character in an ugly sweater.

-

"Waiting on a load of laundry~

Had to wear this sweater that they gave me

Since all the clothes I own are now dirty-

Dumped in the machine, so they can finally get clean-

I'm stuck with the red and green..."

 

Paiko doesn't own a lot of clothes. What he wears during the day is almost always what he sleeps in at night, reducing the amount of things in his possession that he needs to worry about keeping. In the event that such an absolute disaster of a mess occurs, requiring his entire usual outfit to be washed... well, he still needs to wear something. Fortunately, the facility has a closet full of random clothes picked up from random timelines and realities. 

He has no particular sense of fashion, nor is he picky with his wardrobe - but even he can see that this garish combination is not something he would want to wear outside. It would only attract needless attention. And likely Sylvander's camera, too.

On the few occasions this has happened, he'd camp out in the laundry room until his clothes completed their spin-cycle. Passersby learned not to be spooked by the half-drakon sitting on top of the machine, faintly singing to himself to pass the time.

 

**Extra Little Fun Tidbit: The pants, the earring tag thing, and the washing machine are a reference to a song -- or rather, the MV for that song. (Not that the song has anything to do with laundry, because it doesn't, but the lyrics I wrote there are a parody that can be sung to the tune of the chorus ;) )

What song, you might be wondering? Heh...  if you catch the reference, let me know! And even if you don't, I will be happy to drop a hint (or a direct.link, if you wish) in the right direction ^v^

      If you tell him that, I don't know if he'll wear it more often or less often Giggle

      Yeahh! Song scavenger hunt hints! You might have to scroll in quite a bit though ^-^'

      The English title of the song is hidden in the description as slightly differently colored words. One per paragraph, for the middle three paragraphs. The artist's name is hidden in the last paragraph (one word).

      And if you need an extra extra hint-- I did stick a link somewhere in the last paragraph too Wink

    Ah, laundry days! Sometimes the risk of wearing an ugly sweater is a necessary evil Laughing

      When all the favorite shirts are in the wash-- you gotta do what you gotta do, and dig up those outcast clothes from the abyss XD

      Well... either way, Paiko won't appear to the general public on laundry days ^-^'
