WEEK 2
[From the day you arrived on the planet, and blinking, stepped into the sun. There's more to see than can ever be seen, and more to do than can ever be done. Yet, still, the whole thing seems...monotonous. Surely there must be some excitement, some showmanship, some sort of plot twist that could keep this show moving onward?

Welcome to week 2, gents.]


[Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday]

These are costumes for the most part, so I think they're a little more fragile and we'd have to be careful to follow the tag. I still don't know what all the symbols mean, though.

[dechagny]

Surely if we just wash and hang them out to dry, they will be fine.

[Because what is a dryer]

[rockthistown]

I guess, or put them in the dryer.

[dechagny]

[...Okay he understands the connotations of the word but]

How exactly does a dryer work?

[rockthistown]

Kind of like the washer. You put a load in and there are settings, I think.

[dechagny]

And I...assume it dries things.

[Fascinating. Raoul takes one of his damper shirts and looks over at the dryers.] Should we test it?

[rockthistown]

I guess so. I haven't really used this either before now, but it worked okay when I tried it.

you don't know how much fun I'm having with Raoul and everything

[dechagny]

Then let us try again!

[He's kind of excited to put the shirt in. Hm, next there are...dryer sheets? Raoul takes one out, feeling it experimentally, sniffing it.]

Oh - is that? [Another sniff.] Lilacs? They have lilac-scented paper for this? What does it do?

[rockthistown]

I have no idea. Does the box say anything?

please laugh at him he's ridiculous

[dechagny]

[Raoul picks up the box, inspecting it.]

"Fabric softener dryer sheets"...why would fabric need to be made soft? It is already soft.

[But hey this smells really nice, he's going to toss a couple sheets in there.]

it's so great

[rockthistown]

I guess so? I don't know how many you need.

I aim to please

[dechagny]

A few shouldn't be amiss. They have a wonderful scent, and if that rubs off on the clothes, that should make them much more enjoyable to wear.

[rockthistown]

I hope this works... Uh, the delicates setting maybe? I don't want to wreck anything.

[dechagny]

Delicate settings...

[He looks - ah, there it is! - and sets the machine correctly. Gold star for you, Raoul!]

And then, there should be...a button or a switch, like the washer...

[He finds the button, presses it, and - whoa! You can hear it hum to life and the clothes tumbling in there!]

Ah! We've done it!

[rockthistown]

Okay! I knew this couldn't be that hard if people do it so often.

[dechagny]

Do they really do it often where you're from, Miss Hime?

[rockthistown]

People have to wear clean clothes, right?

[dechagny]

Well, yes, of course, but I am aware that many people handwash their clothes as well.

[rockthistown]

People don't really do that a lot where I come from. Except for the really delicate stuff, but that's mostly... well, you know.

[dechagny]

Delicate as in...thin fabrics and laces, I assume?

[He doesn't need an explanation on what might be made of thin fabric and lace, he has an idea]

Then I suppose they are better off handwashed, and not subjected to the rigors of these machines.

[rockthistown]

[nodnodnod]

I don't want to see other people's underwear anyway!

[dechagny]

Neither do I.

[Eugh especially since they have so many ladies here, that'd be rude and awful. They were all under watch already, no need for them to snoop on each other in such a way.]
