[Steve's voice sounds clear and well rehearsed as he speaks into his bracelet, as if he had actually planned the speech before hand to avoid stumbling on his words. Which...he'll never admit to.]

This may sound strange, but I was wondering if anyone is at all skilled in sewing. I have something that needs patching up, but the damage is more than I'm able to fix myself. I would really appreciate it if someone would help me out. I'm willing to pay for the work, of course.

[This is a task he's been putting off, but as things move closer and closer to total warfare, he figures now is as good a time as any to have his uniform patched up.]

...If anyone has any tips on getting out blood stains, that would help a lot as well.

[neversurrender]

Well it wouldn't hurt to have you look. I can probably stop by the clinic later this afternoon. Do you think you'll be out of school by then?

Voice

[neversurrender]

That's fine. Is there somewhere you would like to meet so I can show it to you?

[samantha_grey]

Fair enough. Name's Samantha. You... new here or been around? I admit that I don't always get out enough, especially with the military types.

[neversurrender]

It's made predominantly of carbon polymer.

[Video]

[neversurrender]

I think I'll manage. Quite a few people have offered, so if you don't think you can do it it's alright.

Should we meet somewhere so I can show it to you?

[neversurrender]

No, I can't replace it. Not unless there's someone around who can design me an entirely new uniform.

[neversurrender]

I'm Steve. I've been here for a couple of weeks. And I'll admit that I spend most of my time training at the gym so that might be why we've never crossed paths before.

[samantha_grey]

You, the gym, me working in a lab with chemicals and teaching first aid or wandering around rooftops in fits of boredom. Yeah, we'd never run into each other that much, would we?

[She chuckled softly] So, did you sign up with the military team, or still deciding?

voice.

[brainiest]

Oh, no, I didn't mean to assume - I mean, things happen here, I just wanted to make sure you were safe, had a place to lie low if you weren't. I never meant to suggest you were brawling.

[ Way to go Granger. How to make Friends 101. ]

If it needs stitched again - well, I can help. Hopefully we won't have any fighting to do for a bit, but...

voice;

[digophelia]

Yes, as a matter of fact. Children get into all sorts of things and sully their clothing worse than adults. I recently just helped a friend mend her jacket. It had blood on it and I was able to salvage it.

voice;

[littlesurvivor]

Sure. That works. I finish around three, so I'll be at the clinic after that.

[proudofwhatiam]

I'm afraid my skills don't extend that far. It'll have to be mending, then--I'll see if I can find any other information on cleaning bloodstains in the library.

What sort of uniform is it?

[terriblycrowded]

Yes, it's important to be able to do it for making hats and other things.

voice; sorry about the delay! internet died for a bit.

[gymnast]

Yeah. It has to be sunny outside because you need to dry it in the sun, and the fabric will be stiff, but it works. [ And works in a pinch, too, if necessary. Allison usually just uses chemicals back home, but she's been giving all sorts of random information, just in case. ]

Voice;

[tonsofpun]

Better make sure we save it, then.

[Because she can understand that. Hell, if anything happened to a certain knife-]

What is it?

[Video]

[5thchild]

[ kaworu nods ] I hope it works. Good luck.

Re: Voice

[realmenknitplushies]

Yeah, sure. Might take a bit to get 'em out, but whatever - ain't goin' anywhere for a bit, got some stuff t' work on. So... whenever, or gimme a call. Or, uh, somethin'.

[pushesgently]

I see. [Well, he can imagine.] You may have to live with the imperfections, then. If you can.

audio

[sestra]

I have never cleaned this before. You will have to experiment what works best.

[modernmarvel]

... As far as you know?

[Tony tilted his head curiously, able to read the reluctance behind Steve's voice.]

You always have that thing on you. What, did you trade it in for a new boomerang or some other ridiculous not-weapon?

private.

[redhourglass]

Ammonia with dishwasher detergent. Think of it as a trade secret.

( she shrugs her shoulders. )

After eighty years, you don't know how to darn your own socks?

[niehaus]

That doesn't mean there aren't problems still there.

( cosima knows that well. )

[jocularity]

To be honest, helping the natives is always an option. They're so often forgotten.

Can anyone actually be used to it?

[windbreak]

Well, good! I mean, that's good. [His sheepish little smile is almost audible.] He's the best, seriously. Me, I'd figure if you gotta take it to someone else first anyway, you might as well ask 'em while you're there and not mention it to everyone, but I guess if you're in a real hurry... maybe?

private. voice.

[brainsqueeze]

It would be nice to get it repaired. Anything so far?
