Hmph. I see the symbolic use of the towel. This communication device, however…  The next person who tries to make me keep and use it is going to suffer.

-- The hell is so symbolic about a towel? You use 'em to mop up oil stains or sneeze into or wipe off your goddamn jibblies. Some people do all of 'em. Consecutively.

Also you're totally usin' the communications device there bro.

[VOICE]

[kill_some_time]

Hmph. Is that all you can think of?

I am aware of the irony that is trying to fight fire with fire. Unfortunately one has to know how to lie first, should one desire to to quit doing so. ...Losing it seems to be pointless as well.

...T...oga parties?

Gettin' rid'a somethin' before you know it's useful or not's kinda stupid. Shit, you could hock it, if you hate it so much.

'Hock'...?

[nosamurai]

Ah, if you don't want it, I'll take it.

[ ... no really she will. back-up's nice! right? ]

[kill_some_time]

You can have it. My only requirement is that you ensure that no more of those... things try and make me wear one.

The Vogons don't really notice once you're out of the New Arrival's area. The Guides are meant for our convenience more-so than theirs. If they wanted to track us, they have more effective ways of doing it in place, doubtlessly.

voice;

[kill_some_time]

There is little sense in attenpting to track me.

... Just as there is little sense in attempting to hide from me. What use would be there to try and hide from the very Earth one is living on? Though... This reasoning might be faulty, at a place like this. [there's a pause] Where are you?

Symbolic?

[voice]

[kill_some_time]

A change of clothes for a change in life. [or maybe they were just bothered by his lack clothing] Human traditions can be strange like that, though I may admit that the meaning behind the color of it eludes me.

Re: [voice]

[wisdomofagod]

There isn't any. It's in case you need a towel.

Re: [voice]

[kill_some_time]

So I thought.

[bullysandwicher]

Towels have a symbolic use?

[kill_some_time]

Of course. You can signal a lot with how you decide to wear, use and lose them.

[bullysandwicher]

It's just something I wear to wipe myself or something. I really can't see how is it so necessary for us to have one.

[kill_some_time]

I'd agree. I do not have any need for clothes nor do I need to wipe myself of anything, so it is something that will be discarded soon.

[voice]

[cyprian_swan]

Mmmm. The towel could be symbolic, yes. I found the communication device useful, after a time, of course.

[voice]

[kill_some_time]

The idea of being expected to keep it with me is not very pleasing, considering my lack of pockets or other convenient places for doing such a thing. It's like a sacrifice one neither needs nor wants, yet for some reason cannot refuse. It’s tedious.

[voice]

[cyprian_swan]

I had a similar dilemma when I arrived. Nothing I wore had pockets.

Oh? I have had such sacrifices before. They truly are tedious.

Re: [voice]

[kill_some_time]

[Well, at least she wore something. :|]

What did you do with them?
