09/04/1469 Invisible Clothes




AMSTERDAM (KAP) - A strange event has spread across the Kingdoms, where the Easter clothing had become invisible for the naked eye during 24 hours. Men and women are victim alike, and while many cried outrage and despair about the lack of... well, clothing, some called it a fashion statement and put the invisible garments on on purpose. Others immediately went to see a doctor to test their eyes, and the prices of glasses were skyrocketing due to the large increased demand.

The tailors guild on the other hand, was petitioning against this new fashion, and is looking for compensation for the loss of income. It is unclear however, who would need to pay for this.

The Emperor was not available for comments, but some rumors mention a rather embarrassing story including the lack of clothes. Unfortunately, we were unable to verify so we have to consider it a fairy tale.

Also the religious authorities remain silent, strangely not commenting on the public nudity. As a consequence, people have started praying to other gods, and write tickets with one phrase: Is it a bug, or a feature?

These prayers seem to have had their effect, as after a few hours the situation returned to normal.In the end it appeared, that everyone managed to keep their shirt on.
