I'm not sure if anyone knows this or not, but does dust from fae wings wash out of clothes normally or does it need some sort of treatment?

I just got these pajamas and sheets and don't want to ruin them already

I see. ... I know someone who would probably see that as an improvement to the bedding, but I can see how it would get annoying. Especially if it's prone to transfer.

You're welcome. I had to learn a lot about housekeeping very suddenly myself, when I was younger, which was a very big problem at the time because messes really get on my nerves. Anyway. I'm glad to pass what I've learned along. Knowing how to clean your own laundry is the sort of knowledge most people consider common sense, so they don't think it's necessary to explain.

It's nice to have bedsheets to worry about washing at all, honestly.

I was actually talking to a new friend I made here about how it might not be a bad idea to have classes on basic housekeeping for new Mirrorbound people, given how many different circumstances we all come from.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but... are you implying that this is either the first time you've had bedsheets, or that you haven't had access to them for a period of time directly before this?

I think that would be a good idea. Laundry, cleaning, cooking. All stuff essential to every day life, most of it pretty confusing if you don't know what they're doing.

I've spent most of my life living out of classrooms. And sometimes the infirmary, but never for very long, so... sort of both, really. They've never really been 'mine' and I didn't have to see to the laundry when I used them.

A lot of people surely come in used to appliances they just won't have here, too.

Well, that's weird. But okay, whatever, I get the feeling that most of us come from circumstances on a sliding scale of weirdness. Welcome to sheet-ownership, I guess.

Good point. Food preparation is very different when you're down to the very basics. I mean, the magitech helps, but our icebox is a far cry from the modern refrigerator. I can't say I'm really looking forward to the warmer months... although I suppose more produce will be available then.

I didn't even think of that...

The fashion here doesn't really lend itself to hotter temperatures, does it?
