A New Year

[sanada_g]

 Congratulations, Renji, on your well deserved promotion. 

Sub Lt Sanada and Sub Lt Yanagi have a nice ring to it. The promotion was well overdue. The lesson here is do not change posts months before a promotion is guaranteed or you'll have to wait nearly a year for the next opportunity. 


Now that the baths are complete, engineering is again focusing on upgrades. A list has already been started but if there's anything you think we should add, please let us know. 


Also, I hope everyone is enjoying the design and tiling of the baths. They were inspired by classic onsen and retro bath houses in Japan. It took a team of us numerous hours to finish it all. Though it was certainly a good way to teach some of the engineers new skills and qualifications.

The mosiac IS pretty nice. You really went all out on it.

[wildlionchef]

The baths are wonderful. Thank you and your crew for all that you do!

[sanada_g]

Thank you. The mosaic was more than was strictly necessary but I thought it would be nice to indulge in some creativity instead of standard tile colours as the base is now entering the upgrade and maintenance phase.

[sanada_g]

Thank you.

And do not listen to Niou if he tries to tell you he will melt, perish, or other nonsense if dragged into the baths to properly relax.

[wildlionchef]

Hahahha I'll keep that in mind.

[chickens]

Oi!

I do not wish to get naked with someone else again in the baths

[mmmarui]

So you do have some sense of selfish personal preference in there, good to know

[sanada_g]

What?

Go during quiet times. You already keep strange hours.

[sanada_g]

It's not a crime to have taste. The tiles had to be printed anyway, designs or plain colour made no difference.

[chickens]

Or I could shower.

Or clean myself with a bucket in the privacy of the bathroom. Both would be preferable options

And I could relax.... In bed. With my clothes on.

[sanada_g]

Those would get you clean-ish but not as good as a proper scrub and soak at the baths. And the heat will relax you more than just lying in bed.

[chickens]

I am scrubbed down quite thoroughly in the shower, don't worry sanada

... I have a weighted blanket. It's very relaxing. With my hot water bottle and humidifier.

[mmmarui]

Maybe not to making to the tiles, but it made a difference to installation.

But like I said, I like it.

[chickens]

Just ignore sanada

Thankyou

I do not wish to get naked in the baths

[wildlionchef]

Which is a better excuse than melting.

[sanada_g]

Just put up a closed for maintenance sign and enjoy the baths.

[chickens]

Why are you so concerned about my level of cleanliness???? What are you planning that involves me being squeaky clean??

[sanada_g]

I just want you to enjoy the baths and relax a little. The hot water is also good for soothing sore muscles, encouraging circulation, and something nice to do before bed.

Not everything is nefarious.

[chickens]

... sounds suspicious

I don't have sore muscles. I just have sore joints because I'm an old arthritic man with the bone density of a 92 year old

... And I have other things I like to do before bed.

[chickens]

I will actually perish from overheating if you take me to the baths. And the humid air will upset my sad lungs and I'll just flop on the ground as I walk through the door

[sanada_g]

... You could get therapy about your trust issues.

The hot water would be good on your 92-year-old man bones.

Please don't tell me about them...

[chickens]

I have had plenty of therapy. I'm fine.

I could also drown in the hot water. Or die from my cold blood being overheated and my fingers could fall off from the sudden rush of heat to them. Best not to risk it

...I like to read? And do a sudoku. And rearrange the pillows in my loft nest

[wildlionchef]

...now I want to take you.

[chickens]

Oh my god you want me to die

[wildlionchef]

No, I just want to punish you for being dramatic. Just say it makes you uncomfortable.
