Laundry day is a very interesting day. (Alice)
Megan's cozy third-floor flat was clean.

Of course, this resulted in two bags full of dirty laundry that had previously been tossed everywhere. She frowned down at the bags, hefted one, grunted, and put it down, staring doubtfully out the window. The nearest laundromat wasn't that far away, but...

A little cheating was useful sometimes. And with the streets staying put, she didn't even have to worry about ending up somewhere completely weird. One Sihal Novarum Chinoth later, and she and one of the laundry bags appeared inside the laundromat in a halo of pink light. She dusted off her hands, satisfied, and dragged the bag over to the nearest empty machine.

Alice was pretty accustomed to strange things. She'd gone through an enchanted mirror to an entirely different place, much like the City. And Wonderland had been full enough of strange things. But she couldn't recall a pink light ever just... appearing. Especially not bringing along with it a bright pink haired girl dusting her hands off with a couple of bags of laundry.

She really couldn't help but stare. Honest. She couldn't have controlled it if she'd wanted to. And her mouth? It might have been slightly agape. Other than the pink light, the girl seemed ordinary enough. Save for the pointed ears and pink hair.

Wonderland was looking so normal right about now.

	Megan opened the washer and started shoving things in, shaking out a shirt. A sock was stuck through the neck and the hole cut in the back for her wings, and she pulled it out with a sigh before tossing both in. She caught the staring woman's eye and waved. "Hi?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Alice realized she'd been caught when Megan looked at her and waved. She flushed slightly and gave her a small smile and her own wave in return.

"Hi." She shook her head, trying to clear it and make sense of what she was seeing at the same time. "Sorry to stare..." She paused a moment and then glanced back at Megan. "I guess I'm just not used to people appearing out of thin air."

She was folding some towels on the top of one of the top loading washers, although they were a bit sloppy now because she wasn't paying as much attention as she should to them.

	Alice shook her head apologetically. "Sorry, I wasn't making fun. It's just that this place, these people... it's been an adjustment. I'm not used to people who can fly or streets that move." Not that they'd been moving lately. But that was beside the point. "I was mostly just wondering if anyone could learn it. Or do you have to be... magic or something?"

	"It's a long, weird story." Megan chuckled humorlessly. "But I guess the moral of the story is, don't make deals when you don't know the cost." She looked at her shoes. "It was a good idea at the time." She blew out her breath and looked up again. "Anyway. Ooh, interesting. Did it hurt? What is it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ouch. Yeah, not many happy endings after all. Megan kicked her feet and looked at the floor. "Sorry," she said again. She cleared her throat. "So now that we've brought the entire laundromat down... Hi, I'm Megan." She grinned. "Probably should have started with that, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm used to the staring, really. As long as you're not throwing rocks or something, it's easy enough to deal with," she said with a laugh, and leaned out to shake Alice's hand. "Nice to meet you too, Alice." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
