The Cloak of Insignificance by johnnyjet
My beloved Penelope was imprisoned in the castle dungeon.
Being frugal, I procured a cloak of insignificance rather than a cloak of invisibility. Essentially works the same.
I threw on the plain gray cloak and walked boldly into the castle, ignored by everyone I encountered.
Unfortunately, Penelope ignored me as well. She ran off with the prison guard.
Depressed, I locked myself in her abandoned cell.
Why does no one know I'm here?
Hello?
Over at the Headquarters of The Ancient and Honourable Guild of Barbarian Heroes by M. Robert Gibson
"I'd like to join the guild, please."
"What? With those garments?"
"What do you mean?"
"Which beast did you slaughter with your bare hands for that cloak? A stag? A bear?"
"Chamois goat actually."
"But you defeated it?"
"No, it fell off a cliff."
"And that loin cloth. Wolf?"
"Lemming."
"And you killed it?"
"Not exactly. It died of old age."
"Those boots. Let me guess. Angora?"
"Yes, nice aren't they?"
"Application denied. Go away."
