Nor in Punjab. But if it makes you smile to picture a Wookie in a pub, I’m all for that.

Gardening hat, gardening gloves, suitcase. (And, yes, clothes).

I think World Eater should dress as a [Chaos Space Marine of the World Eaters Legion](http://uk.games-workshop.com/chaosspacemarines/worldeaters/).

I’d be wearing a suit of full plate armor and tabard, and carrying a sword, mace, dagger, and shield. The device on the shield and tabard would be a white hawk on a black field, wielding golden lightning bolts.

Either that or I’d be an Imperial Star Destroyer, or perhaps just the captain of one.

I would show up with a pair of my own clones. . . because clones are people two!

I’d be a vixen engulfed in flames, so the effect really wouldn’t last very long, unfortunately.
