When in Rome, wear what the... That's not how it goes!

But you just discovered a remedy for that. Spread out on the bed lies a beautiful silk dress of the kind ladies used to wear in days of old, and it looks like it's your size as well. Even though you usually favour jeans, you get a feeling that this is meant for you, so you go over to the bed, nearly tripping over the dainty little shoes (your size as well) standing in front of it, and pick up the dress for a closer look.

But wait, there is more here. As you pick up the dress you find a complete set of "unmentionables" (which we shall speak no more of) lying under it. Oh well, might as well go all the way...
In no time at all you have stripped down to your birthday suit, and it takes a bit longer to get the new unfamiliar garments figured out, but everything is a perfect fit. Finally dressed, you bend over to put on the shoes, and as you straighten up you notice one more thing lying on the bed.

It's a mask. More precisely, a flesh colored full face mask - and as you hold it up you find to your surprise that it looks exactly like your own face. Well duh.
You don't really see any point in wearing a mask that doesn't change the way you look, nevertheless you take it with you over to the mirror and stand for a while to admire your new look. Now there's a young lady your ancestors would be proud of!

After a minute's hesitation you look at the mask again, shrug and slip it on. The material is so smooth and thin you can barely feel it at all, and you imagine that you could very well forget to take it off after a long day - if you decided to wear it that long.
You look in the mirror again, and it's just as you thought - you look exactly the same as before. Or...

1. You notice a slight difference in the way you look.
2. Finding the mask pointless, you start taking it off again.
3. You decide to keep everything on and leave through the door.
4. Or maybe you should go over to the balcony to see what all that cheering outside is about?
5. No, better change back into your own clothes again.
6. As 5, but you forget to remove the mask.
7. Before you can decice, there is a knock on the door, and someone enters the room.
