[Shaun is bundled up for the outdoors, and he's looking slightly shook.]

So.

Uh.

I found Jonathan Strange.

He's definitely dead. I think I'm going to need some help recovering him. Maybe... only come if you have a strong stomach. He's not in one piece.

[Video ends.]

That's just awful!

Honey, I'm so sorry. Name's Blanche. If you need anything at all, you just holler for me, okay?

[adaptiveimmunities]

Uh. Sure thing. I'm Shaun. Nice to meet you. You were... on that cruise ship, right?

[blancheinthesheets]

I was. Why we had to downgrade from a cruise ship to this is beyond me.

[adaptiveimmunities]

I don't think any of us had any choice in the matter.

I'm guessing historical reenactment isn't really your thing.

[blancheinthesheets]

Oh, Lord no. Unless it's the antebellum south and I'm playing the part of Scarlet O'Hara, I prefer to stay right where I am.

[adaptiveimmunities]

[That gets a laugh out of him.]

Yeah, this is a long way away from that. I haven't seen a single hoop skirt since I got here.

[blancheinthesheets]

We'll count our blessings.

[adaptiveimmunities]

Yeah, I don't think it would be a good look for me. I don't have the hair for the bonnets.

[blancheinthesheets]

And I don't have the hips for crinoline. Or I do, but hiding them would be like putting wire hoop skirt over the Mona Lisa.

[adaptiveimmunities]

...I'm going to have to admit, I don't know what a crinoline is, so I'll take your word on that.

[blancheinthesheets]

What Scarlet O'Hara wears, sugar.

[adaptiveimmunities]

Those huge dresses have a name? I just thought they were... dresses.

[blancheinthesheets]

No, no, crinoline's the stuff underneath the dresses. Little history lesson there for you.

[adaptiveimmunities]

...Huh.

I am learning way more about historical women's fashion than I ever expected to. More about historical fashion in general, actually.

[blancheinthesheets]

More about women's underthings too.

[adaptiveimmunities]

[snort] Definitely. I have a sister, but she's more of a blazers and slacks kind of girl.
