[The device that lets him communicate with people over long distances is interesting, but Trevor's seen magic achieve something similar before.

No, what holds his attention is the several different vessels of water available in houses. He's standing in a bathroom where the shower, sink and bath all have the water running.]

...I feel like an idiot talking to myself, but if this really works.

[He looks directly at the camera and then attempts to straighten it out (it isn't) before he clears his throat.]

So citizens of this fine shithole, what do we need this much running water inside for?

The well I get-- [He points at the toilet.] But this all seems a bit much.

Are you complaining about running water, Belmont?

[knows]

There's no moats.

He called the toilet a fucking well, Alucard! [ she is horrified. please educate your friend!! ]

God, what kind of backwater shithole is your planet if it doesn't even have indoor plumbing?

[She's so nice.]

[knows]

What the fuck are you talking about?

[He predates too many of those concepts.]

[fanfavors]

[As another person who predates indoor plumbing but has had the exact opposite reaction--]

Not having to haul it up all the stairs they have in this place, I suspect. It's a luxury.

[....and, pfff oh No,] That isn't a well.

[knows]

Are we all meant to live like royalty here?

...then what is it?

[syncopathic]

It's not a well. It's a self-refilling pool used for washing your face. All you have to do is pull the latch there and it'll replace the dirty water with a fresh batch.

You can drink from it, too-- stays pretty cool and fresh.

[The way he's able to say this all with a completely straight face demonstrates an impressive amount of restraint.]

[knows]

No one needs to only wash their face.

[Also straight faced, but that's because he doesn't get it.]

[fogsong]

The well? [ Sharon looks absolutely dumbstruck. horrified. disgusted. ] The well!?

Oh my god. Please tell me you don't drink from it. That's a fucking toilet.

[knows]

I haven't, I went to the pub for that.

[That's a what?]

Why would you piss inside?

[And in water too!]

video: un: vi

[faceblocks]

Only like ten percent idiocy detected so far, and we've all been there. Your Omni's working, and the water's, uh definitely working, but...

[fine shithole gets a snort. is this hoody 2.0?]

...that's not a well. [sure, maybe if you're a dog without a bowl, but.] That's for the other end, you know? Unless you're hung over, then it's for both.

So many options, right?

[knows]

I'm not an animal.

[ Flatly: ] You're wasting water.

It's a fresher. Some people call it a bathroom. You use all of that water to clean up. Except the water in the toilet.

[knows]

You're wasting it more by pissing in it.

[But he does go to turn them off now that he's made his point.]

If it's for cleaning then one is enough.

[Tory's openly making a face before she puts in a more helpful reply. She's observed what others have chimed in with first, and notices that Alucard has referred to the man by his username, so she'll follow suit.]

All right, first off. That thing you're calling a well, Belmont? It's called a toilet. Think like a more modern version of a chamberpot. When you flush it, it sends all the stuff you'd do in a chamberpot out of your home.

[knows]

[Alright, genuinely more helpful and clear than anyone else so far.]

So did anything change that we need that much water to wash it out?

video; un: harbinger

[bolstafir]

You say that now, but give it a month or two, you'll never wanna go back.

[He's not from literally the middle ages but he was an ex-forest hobo, okay, he gets being overwhelmed by all the appliances and plumbing and electricity.]

...Pretty sure everyone's already covered don't drink from the toilet, so in order, the other things? First one's the sink, to wash your hands. Big box behind you is a shower--it's like standing in a rainstorm except without your clothes on. Gets you clean fast. Last one is a bathtub. Think of it like your own personal hotspring.

[knows]

The hotspring does sound nice...

How often do you wash just your hands?

[He gets the rest even if it will not see frequent use by him, but the sink is truly a waste of space.]

[provenforce]

You don't use all of it all at once, you're just wasting water.

[knows]

[Trevor cannot read, but he has discovered the text to speech function with the help of his omen.]

You're already wasting it by pissing in it!

video | un: sharpshooter

[azurestar]

Uh, did you just call the toilet a well? Sorry, my man, but last I checked it was gators that crawled out of those, not creepy murder ghost girls. You've got your wires crossed.

Also, it's called hygiene. Running water keeps your skin clear and your crops watered, what're you complaining about?

[knows]

I think you've heard a few too many spooky stories there.

[Pfft, gators.]

Running water is useful for keeping night creatures out, but it's doing a fat load of good if it's not running.

[sansa looks skeptical, dressed in a black wool gown with a richly embroidered and padded collar. the large wolf next to her has a matching collard around her neck.

The plumbing all seemed very intuitive to her; the chamberpot had looked like a chamberpot, the pipe over the basin obviously poured water into it, and the bath operated much on the same principle. laundry had been harder, but she'd watched at the inn. she's still not sure how to use the dishwasher, but nobody seems to be able to tell her what she's doing wrong.]

They turn hot and cold, for washing. It's much easier than having to heat it all in a kettle. You can fill a bath very quickly with the pipes.

[knows]

[Figuring out how to operate things had been simple enough, but some of it seems to exist just because.]

They have something only for washing hands. Are we meant to act like pampered nobles by lounging around and washing all day?

[Thank the Force people are educating this man on what a toilet is. Maul does not want that thankless task thank you very much.]

...........I can see things aren't going to be dull with you around here.

And then he stares at it some more.]

Huh. So I wasn't hallucinating.

You're going to have your own private pool in about ten minutes.

[ Is this a full answer to his question?

Not really. But plenty of people seem to actually be explaining this in a serious way, so Ange can't help but instead remark this. Her voice sounds so flat and emotionless as she says it too, making it really hard to tell whether she's serious about that or not. ]

[knows]

I didn't block the drains.

[But he has turned it off as someone else had complained about the wastage.]

Greetings.

Making potable running water freely available is a matter of public health and sanitation.

[Jin Guangyao delicately avoids addressing the matter of the, uh. 'well.' speaking of shitholes.]

[What is with all of these people showing off how well educated they are? Well at least this thing can read things for him.]

Pota-what?

[meds4sale]

It is only dogs that drink out of the toilet.

You should, perhaps, use the sink to get your water.

[knows]

Seems a bit cruel to let them do that.

I think I might prefer the pub for that though. At least I could get drunk there.
