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]

[Anders has not yet had the privilege of being introduced to the smoke and/or fire, and was in fact just loitering outside of the kitchen finishing the frankenstein snack concoction he's made for himself.

He watches all of this occur with an air of wary detachment, and he stares down the hallway Megaman just came sprinting down from before he sticks his head into the kitchen. The cups have made an appearance. Maker preserve them all.]

Juuuust curious, on a scale from one to ten, how concerned should I be about [a vague hand gesture] all of this? Because it could go either way.

[You're kind of a weird little dude, bro.]

god bless

[NEVER A DULL DAY AROUND HERE, ANDERS...NEVER A DULL DAY. And okay, so maybe he can get a bit weird sometimes it's true--it happens, when you're still only three-quarters adjusted to how things happen in the real world like this. Like spontaneous clothing combustion. Crazy real world business, that. Technically he knows how he should be dealing with that, but execution, well...

The cups are very slowly filling, at least, and Megaman seems determined--he's switching from his second cup to his third, as Anders speaks up and he looks over wide-eyed.]

Anders! Um--maybe pretty concerned, I think? Something in my bunker caught on fire! But I still don't know how...I--I think it was my bathing suit...? [Caught up as he is, the third cup fills without him noticing, and starts overflowing around this time; Megaman starts as water begins dripping onto the floor, pulling the cup away immediately.] Oh! I'm sorry--I'll clean up, later, I just-- [APPLIES FOURTH CUP ah it should be enough after this right...]

[unconfines]

You started a fire. In this tin can? How'd you even manage it?

[They all knew bathing suits were trouble. He casts a glance down the hallway again, suddenly unsure what might happen if fire spreads in such a small space.

Smoke is bad enough on its own. He doesn't want to think about it.]

Don't answer that. Come on. [He makes a vague reaching gesture for the cups.] Three will be enough with me around.

O-Oh...oh, okay!

[Honestly he's not entirely sure how much water even is enough water, for things like this--the general solution to a fire-type virus is to soak it until it's destroyed, but obviously that doesn't really apply so well here! Anders seems to know what he's doing, though...and so, somewhat reluctantly, Megaman puts down the fourth cup and breaks away from the machine with the three cups in hand.

And even if Anders tells him not to answer that, he just--]

I don't know, though! I didn't start it, I wasn't even in the room! But I went by the room one time and everything was fine, and then the next time something in it was on fire... [STILL VISIBLY RATHER DISTRESSED ABOUT THIS HONESTLY as they start down the hallway towards his bunker room and, accordingly, the source of the smoking.] You're--you're good with fires? I mean, putting them out, that is--?
