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]

No. No they do not. But, you were not the only one caught off guard by this.

[Wanda had also tried to keep her bathing suit. More as a keepsake, she had made some good memories on the blue planet. But... clearly Atroma had other plans.]

[It's such a shame, isn't it? He hadn't really had an opinion on his own trunks one way or another, but maybe it would have made a nice gift for somebody his own size someday...

Either way--]

Oh no! Did yours catch on fire too, then? [THIS IS MILDLY REASSURING BUT ALSO...ATROMA WHY....] I hope you were able to put it out okay! But it sounds like it really must be something with the suits given out by Atroma, then...

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Wanda lets out a frustrated sigh on her side of the screen as she thinks about the damage the com-busting swimsuit did to the inside of her storage locker. She'd also lost a basket she'd bought on the blue planet, and two of the skirts she bought as well.]

Yes, it did. And no, not quickly enough.

[She utters a few curses aimed at Atroma in her native Eastern European tongue.]

[Oh no...]

Man, I'm really sorry to hear that. They really should have warned us better, if something like this was going to happen!

If you got something damaged by the fire, though, I wouldn't mind offering help to fix it? I'm an engineer, so it wouldn't be so hard, I don't think. Well, unless it's not really something you can engineer on...

[notmutantbutmiracle]

Sadly, I do not think your engineering skills would be of much help. If you happen to have any sowing abilities, perhaps then I would ask for your help.

[At the very least, the offer brought a small grin to Wanda's face.]

[HE TRIES IT'S TRUE...it's the thought that counts, and all that! Or something. But yeah...]

Oh! Oh, no...I've never tried sewing anything before. I guess that doesn't really fall under engineering either, you're right...

[But he still feels bad, because that still sucks. And he wants to help! Ah...]

Is, is sewing very hard to do, though? Does it take very long to learn how? I wouldn't mind trying it out, I suppose...

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Wanda can tell that he's trying, and she certainly appreciates it. At this point, however, she's already sadly resigned herself to the fact that some of her new garments and bags are effectively torched.]

Thank you for offering, but I do not think even the best seamstress in this fleet would be able to repair them completely.

It is all right. I am sure I will find some replacements soon enough.
