personality

Jimmy is shown to feel very little guilt for his actions, being more likely to block out things than to feel bad for what he had done. He tends to act bitter, spiteful, passive-aggressive, and in some cases actively manipulative. It had been mentioned that Jimmy experienced difficulty back on Earth; this was most likely the reason why he felt some comfort in his role as co-pilot — he likely felt as if his life was out of his control. Even then, Jimmy still saw himself as "climbing the [corporate] ladder" while imagining Curly as "already [being] at the top". Because of this, Jimmy is envious of Curly's position as captain; he desires the authority that comes with the job, but fails to consider the numerous responsibilities and duties that someone in Curly's position would have. This failure to consider is what overwhelmed Jimmy, and he expresses disappointment with the other crew members — Anya in particular, when she asks for his help with Curly's painkillers. Ultimately, he realizes that he had always been unfit as captain, and that Curly should have retained his position.

Anya

Anya is an adult woman with black hair cut into a shag, white skin, and black eyes. Her clothing consists of a Pony Express jumpsuit and a pink, green, and white striped turtleneck underneath it. She wears a pair of brown sandals with white socks. Anya is a kind, intelligent, and determined woman with a passion for nursing. she was lively, had a sense of humor, and got along with the rest of the Tulpar crew. She was stated to be competitive with board games.

curly

Curly was an average-built man with blue eyes, light stubble, and curly blonde hair formed into a middle part. He wore brown boots and Pony Express coveralls over a red and yellow tee. Personality Curly is a promising and ambitious man and is said to have a large future ahead of him. Over time, he grows discontent with his position, wondering if the captain is "all [he'll] ever be." He reflects on having chosen the wrong career path. Regardless, he cares about his crewmates, who return respect for him, being called "great captain" by them. He has personal conflicts with his friend and co-pilot, Jimmy, who both admires Curly and envies him. He is responsible yet lenient, and his efforts to see the best in everyone lead to his overlooking conflicts on the ship. He tends to ignore inconvenient details to focus on the bigger picture, which is one of his most major flaws. This is shown both symbolically when he cannot see the dead pixel on the monitor in the lounge.

However, despite his peppy exterior, he later in the game drunkenly confesses to Jimmy that he struggles to find meaning in life. He occasionally fantasizes over women and has an affinity for sugar, arcade games[2], and thrifting clothes[3]. He is naive and seeks approval from the other crew members, especially Swansea and Jimmy.

Poly express / tulpar

The Tulpar is the setting of Mouthwashing. It is a long-haul space freighter provided by Pony Express. The vessel was designed to accommodate a crew of four for upwards of a year of continuous interstellar travel. Besides the mandatory captain and co-pilot in control of the vessel, the Tulpar is also staffed by at least one engineer and a medical officer, the latter of whom is tasked with administering weekly psychological evaluations ("psych evals") on the remaining crew. The Tulpar's navigation system is capable of running on autopilot and operates on such for the majority of its flight, but it also has an emergency manual override. Related to this, the Tulpar also houses cryogenic pods to be used in the event that the vessel becomes inoperable, and the ETA of rescue services exceeds the onboard oxygen and food supply. The pods allow suspended animation for a period of up to 20 years but must be activated by a second party from the outside once a person has entered.The Lounge consists of a kitchen, dining area, table, and living room lowered by a few steps. There are two vending machines for coffee and food (the type of food is not specified). The dining area has a long wooden table and several chairs. The living room has a large night/day screen, an L-shaped couch, two chairs, and a small coffee table with a board game set up on it. Post-crash, the room was used as the sleeping quarters for the crew except Curly.
