Dear Velia,
My twin sister, Corinthia gave me your contact card. She’s talked about you
a little. You’re the one who made the matching outfits that we all wore to
our interplanetary birthday party, right? I know you read my open letter to
the base, but if you want to talk and get to know each other personally,
here’s how you can reach me. Tell me about yourself. I don’t have that much
experience with what you do, and have never met anyone with your job. Things
are a little different here on Earth these days, but I think they’re
becoming more like they are on Vacuus, now that society is coming back. We
have garment fabricators like you here, but it was a change for me, wearing
new clothes. In the past, when we needed replacements, we had to trade for
them at whatever market we came across, or even scavenge them from the ruins
of the old world. It’s not really something I thought about a whole lot
growing up. We were just trying to survive, and as long as you were
protected from the elements, that would have to be good enough. If you were
in the midst of the toxic fumes, it really didn’t matter what you were
wearing unless it was a hazmat suit, because you weren’t going to make it
out there for long. Also, when we were busy traveling the world, we were
limited to how much we could carry, which was par for the course for a lot
of people at the time, certainly everyone we were dealing with. In some
instances, it was a rule based on who you were with, and in others, it was a
practical necessity to stay light and unburdened by too many belongings.
I’ve only recently begun to collect personal possessions. It just wasn’t
worth it before, when I was on the road, and in the air. Before we came to
this platform, I only had a few shirts and a couple of pairs of pants. Socks
and undergarments were the most precious due to their heavy impact on
hygiene. I’m sure there’s more to you than your job. You may not even like
clothes. Not everyone gets to work in their preferred field. In case you
are into fashion, though, here’s a picture of what I’m wearing today.
What do you think?
It’s nice to kind of meet you,
Condor
