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

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!

How was that science? I'm pretty sure science has proven that microwaves are for food and not clothes.

( seems like something you'd see in a journal. )

I'd like some citations, thank you. An annotated bibliography to support your claim.

[necromantiae]

That sounds like effort.

( ugh. )

Can't just take my word for it?

[magnitudes]

If we just took people's word for things, then Galileo wouldn't have founded the scientific method. We'd still believe the Earth is flat and that the sun revolves around us. If we are just happy to take people's word for it, then just imagine where the world would be.

( it's good she's not dramatic
or a bullshit artist )

I don't even think Galileo would put clothes in a device made for food.

( there was scientific method and then there was just being ridiculous. )

Your's food going to taste burnt and like clothes from here on out.
