Homework? Funny thing though, I have one that actually plays at a masquerade ball. The start doesn’t fit but the spirit (fun with costumes) probably does. And none of it involves Lois and Clark both shedding their costumes while they engage in nookie!

Aww, just snip the beginning off and post it! laugh

Oh, you do different Jimmy’s? At least the Italian hint makes it clear. So, is Jack there as Luigi?

I decided to do different Jimmies...Jimmy's...*versions of Jimmy* because I want to entice people to contribute their own branches, and I thought a potential hurdle might be thinking that you have to stay accurate to whatever is happening in this set. Guys, there is No Continuity. You want Jimmy to be dressed as (insert character here)? Fine. You want him in bed with a cold while Lois and Clark do something else? Fine. The only solid premise is that a barely-dating Lois and Clark are at a costume party for some work-related reason, and the rest of the sheet is blank for you. <3

Fun fact, I was originally going to have Jimmy's costumes be something of a running gag, but the final shape of the CYA ended up not giving me room for it. As part of my "You can expand on this however you want, guys!" campain, I had planned to have One branch have one fork-in-the-plot, one branch have no forks (so people won't feel like they have to have them also), and one branch have many forks (as an invitation to think big if you're the more ambitious sort). However...

My plan to have Lois and Clark somehow go to the party anyway despite the obstacles presented by the Superman costume failed worse than a cargo ship made of swiss cheese. I ended up axing it and only having the branches in which they stay home. Otherwise, there would have been a Stay Home/Go Anyway node, with the Stay Home option branching into what's there now, and the Go To Party option having other things happen (though I hadn't figured out what). I think I had delusions of crafting an action plot at some point.

No, you’re not going to be big, tall, and broody. Or do you see your master burglar partner dressed in a purple cat suit with black boots and long fingernails?

Oh look, someone left a convenient expansion thread lying around, where someone could post a version of events in which this very thing happens...
