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?

Ariel looks absolutely enthralled, with both hands together and a big smile on her face as she watches each stream of water. She'll occasionally glance at Sanji to see what he's doing, but otherwise her attention is completely taken by the water. It's so amazing!]
[Action]
He notes her excitement with amusement, which nearly causes him to lose focus. The stream of water wavers in the air uncertainly before, thankfully, he gets it moving again. Once done, he surveys his progress; and all things considered, he's not doing too bad! It looks less like a bomb of water hit the area]
Alright, let me show you how to use the mop. [Walking is still a hazard to his health, but less of one now that the floor is somewhat cleared. He grabs the bucket filled with water and dumps that first into the kitchen sink, before filling it with new, clean water.] It's simple, Ariel-chan~! All you need to do is wet the broom, and sweep it across the floor. [He makes a sweeping gesture with his hands because the mop is still not in his possession... and admittedly, he gets into the movements. Jelly spine and all.]
There's nothing to it~!
[Action]
[Action]
Yeah, something like that~! [He points to the bucket] Once you're finished, you clean the mop out in the bucket so you're not spreading the same dirty water everywhere. Just dunk it a few times.
[Action]
But she manages. She shakes the mop some to get most of the water back in the bucket, then lets it drop against the floor. She presses her lips together, then begins to mop! It's a little hard to do at first, as she pauses every now and then when she mops a certain way. But there's a big smile coming up, and she looks at Sanji with excitement.
Look at her! She's mopping! She's cleaning! You'd think she just got done with all the mopping instead of just starting, with that attitude.]
[Action]
Ariel-chan, I think you're a natural at this! [If she can keep up that enthusiasm, they'll have this place clean in no time]
[Action]
She looks back at Sanji, then, and sweeps her arm up from the ground to the air. Is he going to use his magic again?]
[Action] This is... horrendously late and you can drop the thread if you want. 8|b /fails at life
And judging by her gesturing, she'd like an encore. Well then--] Alright, stand back! [Not that she really needs to; while still a little rusty, his precision has largely improved just by practicing, and he holds another two streams of water above the air, dancing them around until they finally collide into one and dart into the bucket with a subtle plop!]
[Action] I would be a hideous hypocrite if I did that. 8|a
Only to realize that she's dropped the mop, and it hits the floor with a "BANG".
She jumps a little, her arms swaying just slightly... and then she gives Sanji a sheepish smile as she slowly kneels down to grab the mops handle again. But hey, now that she's down here, she claps her hands as if giving an applause. She'll never get tired of seeing things like that, especially here on the land where she thought it was impossible to do.]
[Action]
Sanji treats the applause with a little bow, clearly enjoying the attention - - and look! They've come a long ways in clearing up the floor. While it can't be counted as presentable yet, it's not such the daunting mess it was before.]
Maybe I should introduce you to Sona-chan. [He muses at that possible meeting with a hand on his chin, wondering if it's even possible since Ariel can't speak. But then, strictly speaking, Sona doesn't use words either. What she'd really need is the emotional perception to sense the spirit.] She can teach you the same trick I just used.
[Action]
But anyway. Ariel abandons the mopping job in favor of just holding the broom close and looking at Sanji with wide, curious eyes. Sona-chan? Is that a person who can teach her?
After that initial confusion though, Ariel holds the broom a little tighter as she smiles wide and leans forward a bit. It's as if she's just asking "Can you? Please?"]
