“…I’m slowly beginning to understand why nobody up here has a problem walking around in the same clothes for days on end and only washing when they happen to come across water that isn’t completely contaminated. Back in the Vault, we were told that poor hygiene would lead almost instantly to rashes, infections, and all kinds of fungi that would probably eventually develop their own nervous systems. But I’ve been wearing this for a while now… I don’t even know how long, and so far nothing’s growing on me that wasn’t there before. So apparently, we were lied to about that, too. And the best part is… after a while, you don’t even smell yourself anymore. The body was made to clean itself, after all… and if the fabric is breathable and wicks away moisture, you don’t immediately start cultivating your own little ecosystem under your clothes. That’s a huge relief… now I just have to worry about radiation, Raiders, ghouls, mutated animals, contaminated water, kinda edible food, and about a hundred ..minus one... other things… and survive. Easy peasy mutfruit squeezy!”
