"I... Er... So, do we rob him? Perhaps we should call an ambulance... I don't really know first aid and don't really wanna touch the naked dude..."

Larry shrugged.  "Let's poke him with a stick."


Poke him with a stick or a stick equivalent.  Broom, mop, whatever.  Not the musket.

"Enchanté. My name is John. Might I enquire about the name of your friend who is peering at us from the doorway? I believe we-" He glances over at Samuel "-may have somewhat scared her off when we spoke earlier."

"Oh, that's just Raven. She's a bit cagey, you know. By the way, want to see something hilarious?"

"My name is Sammy Sammy Samuel!"

"You sound like a fun guy, Mr. Sammy Sammy Samuel."

"Er, yeah? Okay. You do it."

Stand back.

"No, that's quite fine, thanks for offering. We're here to look up on you two and two others. Trey and Luz, if I remember correctly. People have been quite worried about your little...dissapearance. Where are Trey and Luz, if I might ask?"

"Those two are around here someplace, I guess. But come on, you just have to see what I can do. It's the most amazing spell ever! You'll be in no danger! C'mon!"

"Maybe in a bit. What are you guys even doing here, anyway? And before you go and turn Samuel into a glowing peach, why don't you tell me the name of this 'great spell' first?"

"But that'd spoil it! How about I tell you that you three won't be involved in it in any way? I just need to get this poster I've got in the other room and I'll come back and demonstrate. C'mon. It'll be the most incredible thing ever, I swear," Shauna pleads, crossing her heart and raising her right arm when she swears.

"Oh very well, if you really can't contain yourself. But I expect to hear what you've all been doing here afterwards. Also, try and see if you can't call the ohters here while you get your poster, would you kindly?"

Larry has a hypothesis on what may have happened to Mr. Klein. It seems fairly plausible, given the circumstances.

"Think he wanked himself to death?"

Halesey stares at him for a moment before beginning to formulate thoughts of his own. "I... Er... So, do we rob him? Perhaps we should call an ambulance... I don't really know first aid and don't really wanna touch the naked dude..."

"Let's poke him with a stick," Larry suggests. This is a measure Halesey finds acceptable.

"Er, yeah? Okay. You do it," he says, taking a big step away from the naked pawnbroker. While he braces, steels and otherwise prepares himself, Larry retrieves a broom and tries his ingenious plan of poking the insensible man. He pokes Klein in the back, then in the chest, then in the shoulder, finally tapping the handle against his head - he definitely doesn't seem very dead, judging by the way he appears to be shrinking away from the cold aluminum of the handle. After a few more pokes, he approaches a state close enough to mental coherency for purposes of dialogue.

"Uh... what? What's going on? Why am I naked?" Klein asks, seemingly snapping out of whatever state he was in.

* * * * *

John perhaps unwisely lets himself be talked into seeing 'the most incredible thing ever'.

"Oh very well, if you really can't contain yourself. But I expect to hear what you've all been doing here afterwards. Also, try and see if you can't call the others here while you get your poster, would you kindly?"

Shauna laughs while exuding a strange sense of peace. "Can't call the other two over, sorry. I suspect they're, er, heh-heh, getting busy, if you know what I mean. Wait right here," she says, then disappears into the next room for a few seconds, immediately returning with a rather large rolled-up poster. Giggling, she unfurls the poster.

Rather interestingly, it seems to be a picture of Adolf Hitler, looking very serious and Hitlery as he is typically known to do in these old pictures.

"'Kay, watch this," the girl says, then snaps her fingers at the picture, and the people in the room feel a shiver pass over their bodies as the picture suddenly seems quite different - for one, the fuhrer seems to be smiling, and is now dressed like a man vacationing on a beach in the thirties rather than decked out in his standard uniform. His mustache seems to be gone, replaced by a well-trimmed goatee, and his hair has changed to look less shiny and orderly and more trustworthy and slightly messy. And finally, he now seems to be looking straight at whoever is looking at the poster. What's more, his eyes and general expression seem to radiate genuine kindness. After the others take in the transformation's full effect, Shauna, seemingly unable to control herself, begins to guffaw rather wildly and unexpectedly.

"Tell me that's not the most amazing spell you've ever seen!" she eventually exclaims after she has to briefly stop laughing in order to breathe.

"Er, dude, you might be the best person to ask that. We just walked in fully dressed to see if the lawyers had sorted out the paperwork - you're the publicly naked one in all this... I mean, I know it's your own premises and all, but it's not really your house and your kinda left the door unlocked... Look, pop some clothes on and we'll not talk of this again, eh?"

The führer, scourge of europe and one of the vilest men in history, was now wearing a boathing suit and a goatee. John couldn't believe this, he was outraged and furious. He could not comprehend what had just happened and was determined to state these feelings inside of him in the most eloquent way possible.

"What?"

a boathing suit

Is this some kind of specially adapted swimming costume so one can pilot a boat in practical yet revealing clothing?

Rather horrifying given the context.
