The Hootenanny Returns: Playable Owls, costumes and even more hooty stuff!

Oh, hoo we go again. This mod began as curated costume mod for Nyakuza Metro, but ended up as something very-very big. Don't think this mod is just costumes and Playable Owls - it's actually much, much more. To access all features of this mod you have to complete Murder on the Owl Express.
includes the following:

1. Playable Owls. They're the most advanced custom playable characters of all in A Hat in Time Workshop. They have extended costumes and dyes support. The instruction on making costumes that are natively supported by Playable Owls can be found in the script file called Hat_Player_ScienceOwlGroovy. The Online Party support exists but is not guaranteed.
   Owl expression textures and lost soul texture by HERO.
2. 4 Hat Flairs and 4 Costumes that are worn by Owls but can now be worn by anything you play as. The costumes automatically randomize colors on your Player. All 8 items can be bought from... A certain creature that sure will certainly appear on your flying boat at some point.
   Uuuuh... Will it sell some additional item? I am not sure, I was not told about it...
3. Concert Emotes. The concert emotes summon special props upon being used and disappear when you finish performance. The props, animations and music you play are all synced Online and several people can play different music and you can hear it. You can always change the distance you want music to be heard on or disable music altogether.
4. Cheering emote that works just like usual looping emote.
5. Railing Cheering emote that also works like usual looping emote.
6. Blue Science Owl, Cheering Express Owl and Disappointed Groovy Owl stickers that you can use to do your usual hoot-hoot or any business involving hooting. The last one can only be bought from the above mentioned certain creature.

You can change into Owls by talking to special NPCs that are located on Hat Kid's Spaceship. They can be disabled in the mod config. Also it seems that some of the Owls have something to say about Conductor... I wonder what they think about him...
Thanks everyone for the support and special thanks to Psoron and Crash for helping testing online features of this mod!
Subtitles HUD is based on Subtitles HUD by m_cu8.
Whenever you are an Owl or wearing an Owl-related outfit or Science Glasses, your standard Brewing Hat concoction transforms into Advanced one. Your Advanced Concoction has a chance to become Improvised Explosive Science Owl Doll whenever you attempt to throw it and also syncs in Online Party with other Players that have this mod installed.
If you happen to have Vanessa and Prince Dolls mod installed, then you might be able to throw Improvised Explosive Vanessa Doll instead of Advanced Concoction. Increase chances of encountering her by wearing outfits associating with her.
Vanessa and Prince Dolls mod and Vanessa Doll model are made by Habijob.
Emotes from this mod only work if you are playing as character that uses Hat Kid's Animations and Animation Tree (Hat Kid, Bow Kid, Owls, etc.). Animation Tree added by Sails that are Sandy is also supported. For the best experience make sure OPART is installed and enabled.
All Online Party Players that wear unusual Dye will have their voice replaced by the sound this Dye provides, just like Local Players. Also Players that play as Owls will have default Hat Kid's voice replaced with Owl's during default taunts.
Mod is available in English and German languages. German localization by Leica.
