Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking-

Okay, maybe not.

Intros first, I guess... Hi, I'm Robin! Currently sort of younger big brother to Redwing if you've met him. First 'Jaunt' so I'm a newbie at all of this.

Anyway, I know a lot of people have been freaking out that this is all... quiet? Not dangerous so far? I'm not sure how it usually goes but since you're not feeling the aster and if yoga or whatever isn't going to cut it, I rented a Wii from the hotel and set it up in my room - sorry roomies - if anyone wants to come and just chill for a bit. Maybe we'll have a dance-off or something!

... If it's just a psychic conversation it wouldn't matter, right?

[flatteries]

Are you saying you would have psychic conversations with people while you are naked?! [ You haven't seen just how much of a shy prude Inigo really is, honestly.. he's blushing at the very idea, let alone actually doing it. ]

[turbedon]

... I'm gonna hazard a guess and say you're not a fan of locker-room showers.

[flatteries]

... Erm..

[ There's a heavy, almost tense silence.. even across thoughts.. ]

What are those..? [ HE'S NOT SURE IF HE WANTS TO KNOW.. hence his hesitant tone.. ]

[turbedon]

Communal changing rooms, usually attached to bathrooms.

[flatteries]

T.. they have those in other worlds?! [ BLESS NAGA FOR HAVING THEIR OWN TENTS.. or at least the ability to find relatively private spots to change... ]

And then people, they.. er.. [ He can't even say it. He's totally holding a hand over his face here with how brightly his cheeks are burning red, thank god no one can see him. ] They.. change in front of each other..?

[turbedon]

... They shower next to each other too, you know. Like, all naked, washing themselves and all. [Are you serious? You're serious! He's trying not to laugh but there's still this flicker of amusement because wow.]

[flatteries]

[ Oh god. Someone come and just kill Inigo now. This falls firm and square in the category of "thoughts he did not need", thank you very much!! ]

Why would men enjoy seeing each other in such a way?! [ He's mostly using "enjoy" since it's the opposite of.. you know, finding it horrific.. which he does.. ]

[turbedon]

It's about convenience and sometimes teambuilding, not about enjoyment- okay, yeah, some guys might get off on that, and even just messing around with turning on the cold water when someone's got shampoo in their eyes can be fun, but my point still stands!

[flatteries]

E.. even so, you did say--!

[ He did say some guys might get off on it.

Oh god. Goodbye. Inigo is going back to his world and staying there forever if he can helps it, he chooses that life over.. dealing with.. well, this.. ]

I can't believe this is true..! P-please do not ever bring us to such a place, Trumps! [ Because he would literally cry if he had to enter one of those shared showers, just saying. ]

[turbedon]

... Seriously? Communal showers are going to break you?

[flatteries]

Did I say anything about breaking?! I just.. I just don't want to enter one of those ever in my life if I can help it, that is all..!

[ aka, yes, he sounds very much like it'll just break him. ]

[turbedon]

... So I guess explaining soap and shower jokes are a no-go for you too then.

[flatteries]

[ He's vaguely curious, but.. then again, in his case it'd be more like morbidly curious.

Since that would just kill him.

So-- ]

Y.. yes, I assume I shall have to pass on that.

[turbedon]

Your call and all.

... Wait, does this mean you freak out about public toilets?

[flatteries]

...

I have to confess I have not a single clue what these.. "public toilets" would be [ hi i'm from medieval times and what is indoor plumbing ] but considering the context, I am fairly certain the answer would be "yes".

[turbedon]

They're pretty much places where guys urinate side-by-side.

[flatteries]

[ There's the mental equivalent of a girly shriek. ]

W-why would you just tell people that?!

[turbedon]

[SIR HOW ARE YOU EVEN REAL.]

Better you hear it from me rather than get confused and freaked out later on seeing them for real.
