Three Seashells - Action/Written

[Ariel's closet is getting ridiculously full. With every piece of clothing that got dirty, she got a new one rather than washing it, because the washing machine was a mystery that she couldn't figure out and didn't really want to figure out. But forty dresses and other such things in her closet? This is a little too much.

So, Ariel's in the back of the kitchen where the washer and dryer are, and she's got a frown and a squint on her face as she leans to try to figure this out. The clothes go in... here, right? Right. That's the only place they can go. And then... This detergent stuff goes in with them. How much goes in...?

Surely, the more that goes in, the cleaner it'll be, right?

...

Well.

Twenty minutes later, the entire first floor and even the bottom of the stairs of Community Housing 4 is absolutely covered with soap suds. Ariel's by the entrance of the kitchen, on her knees and trying desperately to get the bubbles back into the kitchen. It's... mostly a futile effort, so she holds her hair with both hands, unaware that she just got bubbles in it, and then she slides across the suds to get to her journal on the counter.

The image shows her looking off to the side awkwardly, before she smiles widely and writes. She's... trying to be innocent, like she did nothing wrong, but... ahaha...]


Does How Could someone tell me how the clothing cleaner works? Is that what it's called?

And [...] how to clean up a lot of [...] bubbles?

[It wouldn't be the first time Jigen had to clean up some sort of ridiculous mess! At least he would be able to show her how to use a washing machine so this could be avoided next time.]

Sure. I'll be right over. [Pause.] I'm Jigen by the way.

[Mr.Man to the rescue! He'll be grabbing a mop and bucket on the way out of CH5. Maybe a plastic box to put the clothes. When he shows up, he's taking off his shoes and socks, then rolling up his pants legs in preparation. He can only smile at the situation, as much of a chore it was about to become.]

Never used one before, huh?

Alright. Here we go. [He's just going step by step to show her how to mop up the water and bubbles. Mop to floor, soak up bubbles, put in bucket, rinse and repeat... or something like that. He's not as tidy as an experienced janitor but at least the floor is getting clean, right? Though he's realizing that some of the bubbles are flying all over the place and no matter what he tries he just can't seem to catch them.

Once there is a path to the washer he steps over and tries to start the washer up again just to rinse the excess bubbles out. Maybe he'll give a laundry tutorial once the cycle is over.]
