*Max shrugged* I dunno anything about fabric so.
It could also be completely polyester, which is more likely I think. See how it curls a little bit while burning? *smiles at Max behind his mask*
*max nods, lowering the dress a little more into the fire*
*Carlos watches. To him, Max seems mesmerized. It’s kind of
cute, he thinks. Good for him.*What if I just dropped it.
Uh, be careful with that. You might get a face-full of
ashes. We don’t have aprons or face-shields or any of that… *Carlos wondered if
the kid would actually do it anyway. God, he hoped not!**Max squinted at the dress for about a minute* …. I’m gonna do it
*Carlos looks at him, shocked.* What? No, Max, just lower it
in. Gently.Yeah, but what if I just… *he moved the stick at an angle and the dress moved about two inches rather quickly*
*Carlos yelps and is about halfway out of his seat. What he
expects to do… he doesn’t know. Grab Max away from the fire?* Oh – Jesus, Max,
don’t do that! Just gently! I don’t want you to get hurt!Honestly, the amount of dangerous shiz we’ve done in this camp it’s suprising no-one’s died yet. I’m sure dropping a dress in a fire would be nothing.
What? Max, that isn’t how fire works! Please, just gently
put it in! *he finally stands up the rest of the way and walks around to stand
by Max* Come on, buddy, you really don’t want to actually play with fire. Just put the dress down and watch it burn up the
rest of the way, okay? Please?Pfft, fine. *max fixes the angle he was holding the stick at so the dress wouldn’t fall so fast*
*sighs, relieved, and smiles at Max* Thanks, kiddo.
