Daiki interrupted the silence that had ruled since Kizunor came into view. “Hey Cirrus, explain the segments to me again.” “Sure thing, partner. If you squint at a single cylinder, you can see it has seven segments, with the largest in the middle. That’s the rotating habitat segment. At each end of it, there’s a narrow, non-rotating divider. Beyond the dividers, there’re two more rotating segments, each half the size of the habitat. The one toward the front of the ship is for hibernation, and the one toward the back is for industrial use. These rotate in the opposite direction from the habitat segment, so things stay balanced and stable. Finally, there are fixed bow and stern segments. The bow and stern, plus the two dividers, anchor directly to the pipe-like core of the cylinder, but the rotating segments float on magnetic bearings. Got it?” “Thanks, Cirrus. Any chance you can explain what’s inside the segments?” Daiki said.

#WIPSnips 25: delicious

TBF, his story *is* rather preposterous.

My segment got the usual intro, with the usual chuckles and giggles. They projected my mugshot, which got a bunch of amazed laughs, too. My reports of male clothing were amusing, and deliciously scandalous. Just imagine running around in public without a codpiece! With exposed shoulders, no less! They'd had me work with some sketch artists, even as I got made up, well before air time. I described clothes and makeup in my world. The studio audience was all men, and when they saw the artwork they laughed... well, the only word is 'hysterically.' It was a grand lark, imagining women dressing up, and putting on makeup and jewelry, and preening for men.
