I was just informed there is no air on the moon, and if you go outside you will die.

Firstly, no air cannot be good for your health or your complexion.

Secondly, if we can't go outside, is outerwear now considered obsolete?

I think this is a very important question to ask when faced with these ludicrous baggage restrictions that make it impossible to travel with a proper wardrobe.

[Elizabeth just looks bewildered because...really?]

They provide air for us, in this...moon base. The same way the space ships did, I believe. But-

You're really worried about what to wear?

[video]

[powdered]

Would you rather go to the moon naked, dear?

Clothes are essential for our very survival.

[video]

[lambofcolumbia]

No, of course not! It's just-

'Fashion' won't matter there, any clothes would do...

[video]

[powdered]

Why shouldn't it matter? Just because people are moving, doesn't mean they are changing.

People always have and always will care about appearance.

Being happy is also an important element of survival.

[video]

[lambofcolumbia]

Yes but there are so many more important things than clothes! Food, or books, or blankets, or other things we might need to survive!

[video]

[powdered]

I don't want to simply survive.

I want to live.

[video]

[lambofcolumbia]

Well. Well sometimes you have to put needs before wants.

[video]

[powdered]

To what end?

If I'm going to the moon to be bored, miserable and hideous I might as well stay for the fireworks.

[video]

[lambofcolumbia]

But we're going to the moon so we can survive and save everyone.

[At least she has to keep telling herself that.]

Not...because it's fun.

[video]

[powdered]

We all have our reasons, some better than others.

[video]

[lambofcolumbia]

Yes, but...since this is temporary, you could just take some clothing, and not really worry about a...proper wardrobe.

I'm only taking a few skirts and blouses. And undergarment things of course.

[Because most of her weight allowance is books...]

[postpones]

If we aren't supposed to go outside, that means there won't be any stores outside either.

So I guess you're right.

voice

[powdered]

It's a very sad state of affairs.

If we have to pick clothes to wear for the rest of our lives, we may as well pick the best.

[a quiet "heh." The topic might seem trivial, compared to the heavy solemnity of other Transport messages, but she can understand the sentiment behind Effie's words.

Granted, that understanding comes from a time when the rest of her life was a sorely limited period]

Best-looking, or most durable? We've got plenty of time ahead up there.

[He listens very intently, and then...]

I can hardly bring everything that I need with me! I'll have to pack more lip gloss.

video;

[powdered]

Lip gloss, rouge, powder, concealer...

I doubt anyone has put serious thought into the supply of these necessities.

The world is truly a terrifying place without makeup.

[ultragorgeous]

I agree completely.

[He nearly sparkles.]

You're the first person I've seen here who truly understands!

[voice]

[highfrequency]

We're gonna get hit by a tactical nuke and you're...worried about what to wear?

[He scoffs.]

[voice]

[powdered]

I don't know about you, but I'm not planning on being hit by anything.

[voice]

[highfrequency]

[In the tense voice of someone who's had a very, very long month]

That's not the damn point. People here are gonna die! Don't you care!?

[icy_heavens]

How can you possibly be so concerned with something like this right now? [Or ever. But especially right now.]

Video

[powdered]

All anyone's talking about is 'moon this' and 'nukes that'.

When these things finally happen, and life continues, what happens then? Someone needs to think about the future, and how we'll manage comfortably with limited supplies and resources.

What's the point in surviving all this if we're just going to be miserable.

[beardedflannel]

Just be happy you're not going to the moon naked.

[powdered]

It would boost morale, I suppose.

[beardedflannel]

Like hell it would. Nothing to boost if you're freezing your ass off.

[keep_smiling]

No air isn't good for breathing creatures in any way, really. As far as your luggage, you might just want to bring the essentials. You might be able to pick up some new clothes on a mission later!

video;

[powdered]

As a rule, I avoid missions, they're dangerous and simply not my style.

Are you volunteering, dear?

video;

[keep_smiling]

Oh, you don't know what you're missing! They're not all dangerous, you know. Plus now, we'll mostly be going for supplies. Easy! And you'll get to see all sorts of times and places.

I'd offer, but I'm afraid I don't know the first thing about fashions. I'm not sure I'd make the best choices!

[matre]

Have you friends who may help you carry what you need?

[powdered]

[ This actually makes her pause. ]

Reliable friends are the only commodity in shorter supply than cosmetics.

[matre]

As they always are. But surely with one or two you may yet rescue most of your possessions.

[powdered]

There's one I could ask for help, maybe.

The other... has different priorities at the moment.

[matre]

How so?

[jackanope]

[??????????????]

What do you mean with "no air"?

[have_hat_will_travel]

...

And this is why I'm glad I have a cheat.

[andagain]

Isn't there air inside of the base we live in?
