Orcs In Rubber Suits: An Adventure in Fashion
About two years ago (during Alluvia, our long-running 5e campaign) our characters strolled into a department store looking for functional rubber suits so that we could safely enter a power station (that was partly powered by a Thunderbird, which we found out later).
My character, Bruno, is basically French, Somnolenterra being the Europe parallel, and Fantasy Parisian fashion is All The Rage here in Alluvia, so the store clerks bombarded him with questions. If this guy wants a rubber suit, that must be what everyone over there is wearing! It’s SomnoFashion! He utterly failed his Charisma check to convince them that he just needed a rubber suit so that he didn’t get fried to bits. Nobody wears this stuff, jeez.
Eventually this new “”””Alluvian””” trend makes it back to Somnolenterra, which we found out last session. Only the wealthy elites wear them, of course. It’s Haute Couture.
