[41] - [Video] [A wee bit forward-dated, after Merlin's post.]

[sharpememory]

This wouldn't be happening if you all wore gloves. [And Barron holds up his leather-gloved hands. Annoyingly, he actually looks to be in good health.]

I mean, come on, people. This is why personal hygiene and not being naked are a thing, you know?

[Where Barron comes from, gloves are just as critical as pants. Why are none of you wearing pants. :I]

[Private - Cassel]

Stay in your cabin, seriously. This shit always gets nasty fast. [Barron kind of thinks that you can't handle this. Sorry, Cassel.] And don't turn into anything with tentacles, people may think that you're a crazy doctor guy.

Is it being spread by touch? Is that something that's happening with this?

[Usually he'd tell you about cultural differences or something, but... right now CLEANLINESS seems important so maybe not.]

[sharpememory]

Isn't that how all diseases spread? [Thanks, memory loss.] That's something that just about everyone knows.

[buywithme]

Through bare handedness? I don't... I don't think so?

[sharpememory]

No, through all that touching. People touch their bare hands together and then touch their faces?

[routemistress]

[Iris, who's infected, is too tetchy to deal with this idiocy right now, and expresses her feelings with a graphic and obscene ungloved hand gesture at the communicator.]

This wouldn't be'appening if we weren't lettin' a flipping germ warfare specialist run loose round the bloody boat. Who let 'im into the bloody infirmary, any road?

[sharpememory]

Really? Really? There are kids around here, do you really have to be doing that? [Barron... isn't as grossed out as he purports to be, because hey, he can dig some lady hand.]

A what now? Did one of the doctors do this?

[routemistress]

Oh please, if they're old enough to get stuck 'ere they're old enough to know what their body parts are for. 'Orrible little retrograde spawn, the lot of 'em.

[She sees you looking and makes another gesture, because Iris is a huge troll.]

No, you thinking-impaired mollusc, I'm talkin' about that filthy old corpse Davros. Someone turns 'is entire race into a filthy set of tentacled war machines an' we're okay with 'aving 'im treat decent people? Really? You people are all morons.

[sharpememory]

[Barron would still be hung up on the hand, but the stuff about Davros is way more concerning for now.]

I can't really say that I've ever wanted to be a tentacled war machine, so I should probably keep an eye out for this asshole. What does he look like?

[fearthepackingchips]

But where's the fun if you can't be naked every now and then?

[Says the guy wearing a full-body condom.]

[sharpememory]

Okay, shit is officially getting weird around here. What is it with all you guys and wanting to be naked 24/7?

[fearthepackingchips]

...I'm not naked now? I'm just saying. Now and then. Not always. Clothes are sometimes a good idea.

[private] omg shut up barron B|

[patheticvillain]

Wow, thanks. The thought never would've occurred. I'll be really careful to control my completely uncontrollable blowback. Don't forget anything useful.

[private] your brother is full of 'useful' advice, Cassel c:

[sharpememory]

If you don't transform anything, you won't have the blowback. So you can control it. [Because apparently life isn't that simple.]

And for the record, that doesn't happen to me anymore. The whole magic space boat thing has some pretty good cures floating around. [Such as the cure of no power, so no blowback.]

[private] no he is full of jerkitude B[

[patheticvillain]

If someone comes at me I will definitely not defend myself, then.

I know powers get nixed here, Barron. I've been on the ship a week, not a second.

[mistconduct]

Dude. What the fuck are you even talking about? Are people not washing their hands after pissing? Gross.

...lolling so hard irl, Red Mist what are you even.

[sharpememory]

That... might be part of it? [Barron is so not sure where to start with this.] But as a general thing, people should be wearing gloves all the time.

Culturally uneducated is what.

[mistconduct]

Okay, yeah, good luck getting everyone to agree to your tyrannical OCDness, Guy. I don't think that's going to happen.

[timesbureaucrat]

[Narvin looks into the camera, very serious and solemn. Then holds up a bare hand, his expression unchanging.

Then slowly licks said bare hand from palm to fingertip.

He's affected by Iris' infection. Psychic entrelacement. And not caring about propriety and appearances as much as usual lends opportunity for all kinds of trolling.]

Oh god Narvin ;-; Perfect c:

[sharpememory]

Oh, dude. Come on, really? [Barron is more than a little bit grossed out.] This is like, a serious thing.

[timesbureaucrat]

Of course it is. We're all very serious around here am I'm taking this with all the seriousness it deserves.

[He says with over-exaggerated seriousness.]

/jack

[buywithme]

...Comrade, why?

[timesbureaucrat]

Why not?

[surfaceshine]

Kinda thinking it doesn't have a lot to do with dress code.

[ Private ]

You really okay? I won't tell Prefect. [He'll just break down Barron's door and hold him down for Merlin.]

[sharpememory]

I dunno, man. I dunno.

[Private]

Yeah, I'm actually okay. I'm more worried about Prefect [and Cassel sort of, but oops not bringing that up.] because he can't really handle germs and that being around, let alone actually being sick. It would be a mess, you know?

But yeah, I think I'm okay. I wasn't feeling great this morning, but I think it was a hangover.

[ Private ]

[surfaceshine]

In my experience, being sick is always a mess.

Check in with me later and let me know you're still feeling alright or I'm gonna track you down. Holler if Prefect starts acting weird, okay?
