It's very, very cold out here. The air is thin, the sky is dark, and everything in sight is covered in snow. Off in the distance, a thin beam of light pierces the sky.
Blai's room has an elevated bed with a ladder leading up to it over a desk. The bed has a pillow and sheets and a blanket. It has a window which is covered. There are more of the lightning-y holes in the wall.
"Don't uncover the window until sunrise, we'll tell you when you can. This switch" he flips it demonstratively "turns the light on and off, please leave it off when you're not in the room. You'd normally have to wash the sheets at some point, but there's a machine for that and someone can show you how to use it, you won't need to scrub them by hand."
"Good, I never actually learned how to do that." Armor: off. It's a slightly laborious process.
"No, but if there's something I should hold still, or pull in a specific direction, I could probably do that."
"Okay! Let's rustle up some spare clothing so you can get your clothes in the wash! Uh, we have a cultural norm where people are usually supposed to cover their genitals and their rear and women are also supposed to cover their chests, so we don't want you to just be naked in the laundry room. And we have a machine for drying clothes, but that machine can damage more clothing than the washing machine โ not just tears, sometimes they shrink โ so you might want to hang up your clothes to dry."
"Makes sense. People pack several changes of clothes, we should be able to buy something your size off someone. I'll make a post about it. In the meantime you could borrow some of mine but it's not going to fit very well."
