3 >> needy space clothes: the struggle

[recopy]

Who: Megaman.exe and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: ON THE GOLDEN.......
When: Backdated to around August 16/whenever the fleet starts leaving orbit and...yeah...

Ok so I have a quick query since I'm not really an expert on clothes

Do space bathing suits normally catch on fire by themselves after a certain amount of time? Or

I mean they don't do that back on my world but maybe things are different out here I don't know...unless I did something to them?? But I don't know what I did

[guess who a) forgot he even had a bathing suit to start and b) completely forgot to dispose his swimwear both times Atroma tried to warn him: this guy. yes.]

>> ACTION; on the Golden

[Incidentally, a few minutes before this post is broadcast, crewmates on the Golden may or may not notice smoke beginning to emerge from one of the bunkers. And if they don't notice that, then they might notice their small resident engineer sprinting into the kitchen in a rather panicked state, grabbing up an armful of cups, and trying to eke an appropriate amount of fire-dousing water from the beverage machine. It's a trying process.] --Ugh, is there any way to get water from this faster?! [MACHINE PLEASE THIS IS AN EMERGENCY]

It's probably just as well. Who wears clothes in the water voluntarily?

[w...what.....]

Actually, I thought wearing clothes in the water is a standard thing? When it comes to swimsuits, anyway--that's why they're called that! ...Right...? [ah who even knows anymore, he certainly doesn't] Is swimming with them really that bad?

[Lan had always seemed to enjoy it just fine. Maybe it's a preference thing...]

[lord_wizard]

[No he's just weird]

It's the swimming part that perplexes me. Where I come from, nobody does that sort of thing by choice. If you are in your clothes and in the water, it's likely because you've fallen out of your boat.

[Aah, so it is a preference thing! Sort of...]

Oh! Oh, yeah, when you put it like that--it probably wouldn't be very nice to end up in a lot of water without being prepared for it... [He hums a bit, thoughtfully.] If people know how to swim, most of them do it for fun, back home! But I guess swimming isn't as much of a hobby where you're from? [Wait, but hold on--] Ah, but if you're on a boat...why wouldn't you want to know how to swim?

[lord_wizard]

Oh, I agree that you would, if such a thing happened. I think it's less a reflection of the desire not to drown and more a reflection of the quality of the water there.

[And in his case, something far more traumatic, but it still holds true]
