I've been um very tired so I've been slowly working up to this all day/night and may not actually produce much after that

But it's up!! And thank you to everyone I brainstormed with!!

ganbatte walter

He is a hard-working magical girl with hate in his heart

Hehehe. Nice!

https://lastvoyagesooc.d... comment for mods

Just let Sweeney know if he's looking for anything in specific (that isn't immediately obvious, like, oh, there's a shower), and he'll keep an eye out

They really should just remove shower parts from a crew cabin somewhere.

I'm sure between all the tech savvy people, they can cannibalize something

Jinx will be more than happy to help

Deconstruction and reconstruction are like. Her specialties

The showers for inmates here already have her going feral

Walter is genuinely surprised that none of the trauma excused murder sprees have been linked to that specifically but it's a matter of time and y'all would deserve it

ALRIGHTY FRIENDS... so I got an answer from the mods. The answer was essentially, due to the space station having a whole entire plumbing system, "looting the showers" would be just as complicated a process as it would be in a facility on earth.

Because of this, I don't think this would accomplish Walter's goal of "every inmate can just have a personal shower! 8D". I think that like... working really hard and combining other components... You could accomplish maybe one unit per day...

Which is still a good thing. For example if Wu Xin and Jinx each want one then awesome.

And likewise if multiple large teams got really into the project then maybe more would be accomplished

But for now my thought process is that Walter will be like "... Well that was not as easy as I thought it would be ... Gosh dang."

And ultimately the original plan with designated warden cabins from Hakkai and maybe "Norton's friend" (Steve) will resume after port is over.

Awwww... I had high hopes of seeing Walter proudly strolling through the halls with a train of plug-and-play showers trailing behind him, on his way to deliver them all.

The offer of a third warden shower for use by all is still on the table too, just fyi. Mr Depressed the Stampede would love it if he could be of value.

We must try another day, space cowboys

In that version Vash definitely would have been tapped as a pack mule lmao

He's very sturdy!

It's still possible in some form! We'll just think outside the box lmao

I just have this hilarious image of a small group standing in a circle as they analyze the showers before coming to the conclusion it won't work

them all just groaning almost simultaneously

Gotta pull one out and drop it face-down on the floor to check all its parts to be sure.

Maybe take another one apart, juuuuuust for the fun of it.

Jinx is on board!

disassembly is as fun as assembly :3

Will has some plumbing experience, btw! He'll tell Walter he'd help assemble something (would've done it in a thread earlier if I hadn't been so out of it). He's not an expert or anything, but at least he's fixed some plumbing situations before. Too bad there's no easy solution here, though.

...Varker laughing when someone doesn't know how to turn the water off and they pull the shower anyways.

i'm tempted to throw steven at this bc he would be able to help repair things, since his healing spit works on inanimate objects

BLESS WILL

Can Steven creatively repair e.g. attach a door in a different room from its origin

sephchama Walter can help translate technical stuff for Wu Xin as needs must lol

ancillaries: he meant the gathering quests. He's not going to be any help if Admiral wants things he's never heard of

Yes, like, Walter can make some attempt to convey what the hell those items are supposed to be, though it may indeed be inefficient enough to not be worth bothering

Someone should just draft him as a pack mule.

Because Walter is discoursing about any kind of quarantine protocol, I'm going to clarify that Walter will be continuing to stay on the station as long as possible and more like bring the "shower parts" to a central area and they'll transport them all at once as safely as possible Later.

This will also allow time for more characters to find out about it and decide they want one, with setup occurring on the barge afterwards

I'm going to make some catchall log... Monday???

It will be slow and messy...

Sounds good! And also, re earlier: Wu Xin doesn't need a private shower.

...while I'm thinking about it: Joel can help with plumbing/building stuff now.

Hell yeah

new plurk

I figured this method would be easier to see than pinging everyone

I think Joel is going to be too busy trying to convince himself this is all a weird dream to be useful (plus future craziness when the shit hits the fan), but I definitely want to see if he can be useful as a plumber/constructionist once things settle down. Just fyi for the moment

Exactly! Very good!!

floofdoodle ihdreniel I've been very distracted by new game events now but... Look in the post ... Sweeney and Misty working together . .. consider... Thank you... Wholesome

yaaaay
