Your Clothes Run Out

TL;DR

Three things put pressure on your wardrobe from v0.5:

1. Stains. Come in your clothes and the underwear takes it, or the jeans if there was nothing under them. A stain stays until you wash it, and a stain people can see costs you in public.
2. The men’s closet empties. As your Femininity climbs, your men’s clothes leave one piece at a time, and the next morning someone tells you where they went. You can ask for each piece back.
3. Bags go missing at the four changing places, and you have to get home in whatever you were left in. That part is Patreon in v0.5.

Nothing is binned. Every stain washes out and every piece can come back.

Switching it on and off

Settings > Content Preferences > Your clothes run out. It is on by default, for new games and for saves from before v0.5. Switched off, stains stop costing anything and missing pieces can be worn again; switch it back on and both pick up where they were.

Stains

What stains

• An accident, in public or in private (at home the sink is right there).
• A ruined leak through the cage in public.
• An accident on stream, and the cabaret’s on-stage ruin.
• The HypnoMind episodes out in the world where you come in your clothes.
• Overnight, with Edging and denial on too: at Desperate or Broken, sleeping caged, there is a 30% (Desperate) or 60% (Broken) chance the cage leaked into your underwear. This one only ever stains underwear.

What takes the stain

• The underwear you have on.
• With no underwear, your trousers or shorts. A skirt never takes it: the scene tells you where it went instead. The suit, the site workwear and the tiki staff uniform count as trousers; dresses, skirted uniforms and bodysuits count as a skirt.
• A piece that is already stained just stays stained.

Seen or hidden

The once-per-place Shame starts over when you get home or after the night. Home, the Kennel and a stay at the Resort do not count as public. The people who remark are the barista, a coworker at the office, the bar manager at the start of a shift, the gym’s front desk, your Owner, Sarah or Jesse at home, escort clients and a regular at the laundromat.

The wardrobe marks every stained piece Stained and shows how many you have.

Washing

The laundromat has a second door now: straight from the Downtown map at any time of day, as well as the old one on the Red Light District strip. If what you are wearing is stained, you change in the toilet at the back and put it on again warm from the dryer.

Men’s clothes leave the closet

Only off the masculine route: on it, your clothes stay where they are.

• When. The first piece goes overnight once your Femininity reaches 30, then one more at 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80. The next morning someone tells you.
• What. Your men’s shirts, trousers, shoes and a men’s cap. Never what you have on that night, never the suit, the site workwear or the bar polo, and never your last wearable outfit. Your boxers go last, only once every other men’s piece is gone. When nothing can go that night, the step waits for the next one.
• Buying more is not a way out: the men’s store already stops serving you from Femininity 25.

In the wardrobe a piece that left is greyed out with a Where is it? line.

Getting it back

At home, Ask (them) for your things back, or Open the box of old clothes. One piece at a time, once a day; 10 Energy and a time slot, the box 5 Energy and no time. Each of them wants something: your Owner a favour (what kind depends on how far things have gone with him), Sarah a condition, Jesse makes you take it off him, Sage wants a trade, and the box only costs a long moment in front of the mirror. If your things changed hands since (you moved, you broke up), whoever has them now gives them back.

Bags at the changing places (Patreon in v0.5)

Each place does it once per run. It can happen from your third visit there, not while another bag is still missing, and not within a week of the last loss. It never takes your last wearable outfit: if the bag holds the only clothes you have, nothing goes missing and the place waits for a later visit. The spa robe is yours to keep from the first time you change.

Getting out

• Walk home in what is left, by bus or through the back lanes: +3 Shame, +5 if you are down to underwear or lingerie (or bare-chested with breasts).
• Borrow something from whoever is there: the lifeguard at the beach (Jake, if you know him), Tyler or the front desk at the gym, the spa’s front desk, the saleswoman’s own dress at the fitting room. What you borrow is yours to keep.
• Buy your way out at about one and a half times the shop price: a sarong dress at the beach kiosk ($75), a fresh set at the gym’s front desk ($60), a sundress at the spa boutique ($82), the silk kimono off the mannequin ($120).

The wardrobe lists what went with the bag as Lost with your bag at the place, names the way back by route (the finder’s favour, lost and found, or the ransom), and the banner counts them, Bag lost at the gym: N missing.

Getting the bag back

From the next day, one of three ways, decided by the loss:

• The finder wants a favour. At the beach the bully’s crew (while you still have trouble with them), at the gym a locker-room regular, at the spa the locker-room attendant, at the fitting room the saleswoman’s boyfriend. The row shows up at the place. You can say no and leave the bag with them.
• Lost and found. Free, at the place’s desk, with an embarrassing look through what is inside. A text tells you when it is there.
• Ransom. A text asks for $100 plus the day number, between $100 and $200. Pay and it comes back; refuse and it turns up at lost and found three days later. At the beach the bully wants you to come down to the usual spot and buy it back in person. A short answer to the first text buys one second text, one or two days later, for the same amount; refuse that one too and the bag goes to lost and found three days later, the same as a no to the first text.

Whatever happens, the bag is at lost and found seven days after the loss at the latest.
