Advice For A Medium-Sized Load
Who: Charlie & Cat
What: Laundry!
Where: Pax Letale Laundry Room
When: 8/3/2011, 7:03 pm
Warnings: TBA

Pax Letale was a fairly impressive apartment building, and as though that set a standard, its laundry room was made to match. Large, industrial washers lined one wall, stacked in pairs and numbering to ten, which was matched by a similar number and positioning of dryers on the opposite side of the room. A machine near the door offered a variety of detergents and fresheners depending on what one needed for a particular load, and the entire room was kept clean and smelling fresh twenty four hours a day.

Charlie could not care less.

She was carrying a cloth bag of laundry out in front of her, held away from her body as though the thought of touching it made her sick. It wasn't so much the thought of dirty laundry as much as what a few items of clothing inside of the bag were dirty with - and Charlie's expertise in the art of cleaning (or lack thereof) left her entirely mystified toward the series of steps required to return her clothing back to its original state. Her best guess was to just toss it all in a washer and hope for the best.

Picking one out at random that wasn't already stirring a soup of cloth, water and soap, she started to toss the entirety of the bag (which was already twice her size, though that didn't say much since she was so slight) into the mouth of the washer, using only her thumb and forefinger to touch as little of the clothing as possible.

Generally, Cat had her laundry done for her. There was a place close enough by that did a fantastic job of it, and for a reasonable rate. However, Cat preferred to wash her workout clothes a bit more frequently, and so here she was with a small bag and a bottle of detergent. Before she could begin separating, however, she noticed the girl she'd met the night of the blackout. With a smile, she walked up to the younger woman, who looked deeply troubled by the laundry she was handling, and said,

"Hello, Charlie. What have you got there?"

Charlie glanced up from her slow but steady process of throwing her clothes in to see Cat entering the laundry room. It was a quick look, a little baffled that the woman's voice should curl around her name in such a familiar tone. But there was the familiar sensation of relaxation in Cat's presence, and Charlie was moved to something aside from a snappish remark.

"Jus'...some laundry," she replied, somewhat slowly and trying to not make it sound like she was giving a stupid answer to a stupid question. Her bag was almost half empty, but the smell radiating from it was nearly obscene. Rylee had really done a number on himself with all that drinking, and it was reflected in the vomit he'd left behind.

"You, uh, might wanna stand back. It's kinda gross."

	Cat nodded, already mentally planning for the event, and offered Charlie a smile. "Tuesday is perfect, and so is Thai," she said. "Now I think I'll take a dip in the pool while the laundry runs its course. Care to join me?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
