[audio] @vegemight; bad life choice brigade rides again [open]

[magnitudes]

Okay, okay. Okay.

( There’s a sound in the background, probably recognisable to most as a microwave. There’s another sound that might be recognisable to some by now: Sarissa being a little drunk. )

So, tragedy: wet clothes. Disaster, right? I was thinking, I can’t put ‘em in a dryer, ‘cause they’ll shrink. And I can’t put ‘em on a line out in the sun, because this place is a big fuck you to that whole concept, I bet, even in summer.

Problem solved, though. I’m on it.

( She is not, in fact, on it. In fact, though it cannot be seen by the listener or Sarissa, her clothes are starting to smoke, rather than steam. ) Anyways, I was telling Molly about how handy microwaves are, and then I thought: hey. Extra problem solving.

(Off-screen, Molly says:) Uh, Sarissa? Is there supposed to be this much smoke?

Ain’t smoke, mate. It’s steam. ( She’ll be right. There’s a long pause, and then— ) oh motherfuck!

[ although kol hadn't been certain of where this tale was going to go, it's surely ended up in a destination that he very much enjoys.

does he have anything profound to say? of course. all she gets is laughter: rich, loud laughter. it's just as obnoxious as him. ]

Kol! Don't be a dick!

Aw, shit. My jeans.

[unpredict]

[ that just makes him laugh harder. so hard, he's sniffing and wiping at his eyes. ] Jesus Christ. [ still laughing, btw.

appearing to calm down, she can hear him trying to stifle any chuckling. ] Who the hell has a big enough microwave to fit their jeans into? [ then he starts to snicker again. ]

Please tell me you didn't actually do what it sounds like you did.

( does he need to go help put out a fire? )

un: mollymauk

[mollymocked]

She made it seem so logical. Fortunately, I'm resistant to fire. The Invincible will survive, but now our room smells like burning fabric and smoke.

[necromantiae]

A microwave is for food, not for clothes! Your room is going to smell like that for awhile.

( how lucky for the both of you. )

[magnitudes]

Oh, everyone’s a bloody critic, aren’t they? You know how much shit the greats have gotten for their experiments along the way? They laughed at Edison too, you know.


( mmmmmmaybe )

[necromantiae]

Did you just compare yourself to Edison because you put clothes in the microwave?

( really now? )

[mollymocked]

[Molly fans away some of the smoke as he follows Sarissa to the source of the problem, looking a little smug that he was right.]

I wouldn't say I'm an expert, but are they supposed to be on fire, too?

action;

[magnitudes]

( A hiss, dramatic, as she flings open the door, )

I don’t know, are you supposed to be a smug bastard?

( what a witty comeback, what flawless intellect )

[mollymocked]

Yes. That's sort of in my job description, actually.

[Your lack of comeback only makes him stronger.] Maybe it's easier to just get new clothes.

[ So, he wanted to stick to text with the network, mostly, but if his read of the situation is right, he is pretty sure text probably wouldn't be the most conducive medium here. ]

Hi. Can you spell your name backward? Just wondering. [ Really. Not trying to be a busybody. Just curious. ]

permaaudio

[magnitudes]

What kind bloody question is that?

( Theres a whump sound in the background, and presumably the sounds of a fire being stamped out. )

@lonk; audio

[sublimebeast]

Uh.....

Is everything okay?

Permaaudio

[magnitudes]

I mean— define “okay.”

[freetobe]

[ The voice should be familiar. It's the slightly baffled voice of someone who's seen her shoes catch on fire. ]

Have you always been in the habit of burning your clothes, or are you newly in the process of forming the habit since your arrival?

permaaudio

[magnitudes]

( There is a very significant pause. )

I’m feeling’ very judged right now. As an Angel of the Lord should you not— I dunno, help?

[She never ceases to amazing him.... Although "amaze" might be a stretch.

No, he's just listening shaking his head. How much of an idiot was she really?]

Wow. Using a microwave to dry clothing.... Sounds like a fool proof plan.

[This seems to be a pattern.]

permaaudio, sorry for the slow ;A;

[magnitudes]

I'm sensing just a pinch of sarcasm there. Like a smidgen.

Imagine a summer time in a place with no sunshine.

That's the real crime here. o(TヘTo)

[She could rag on her about the microwave thing, but it looks like everyone else is already doing it.]
