[OTA] Laundry
Who: Lightning, Little One/Buttercup, Open
Where: Storage Car (laundry floor); Sleeper car
When: Apple, Day 4
What: With three days' worth of laundry, only some of it blood-stained, Light decides to get ahead of the game in the name of team points.
Warnings: Potential language
Notes: Starting in actiontags but use whatever you're comfy with and I'll match <3
Sleeper Car
[ Four large suitcases have been dragged out of the luggage car and left in the common section of the sleeper in the morning hours of Day 4, one of them already containing some of Lightning's red clothing and another her first pair of cargo pants and socks. She hopes it'll be self-explanatory, but just in case, she knocks on each cabin to get the attention of anyone inside and calls out a quick, ] Got any dirty clothes? Put'em in the cases out here.
[ That should be enough that everyone'll notice. She pauses in the midst of the suitcases, running a hand through her fringe distractedly. Do they have markers anywhere? She could write on them... but no, she'll just assume no one's an idiot. ]
Storage/Laundry section
[ She's hopefully collared Little One and/or Tony by now, but if not, it's not her lookout. She needs those stupid points to see if the train'll sell her a proper weapon - if they need 'em too, they'll show up.
The suitcases have migrated from the sleeper now that it's been a few hours; they're lined up against one of the walls in the store so she can sort the contents. She's trying not to look out of the window - they're passing through what she can only assume is the lime green sector of the void, and the entire room is limned in a sickly glow. She's stood, bathed in green void light, holding a box of detergent. It's a ridiculously mundane task to be doing in this environment, but it's this or go stir-crazy. ]
Let's.... try doing the purple first.

It had not taken much to convince Little One to help. She wasn't about to say no to a priestess and on top of that she was bored. There wasn't much to do on this ship-train, everyone was stupid light followers and older than her. She had to be on her best behaviour and she was stuck inside.
Also the weird message had said red team had to do laundry.]
We do no be having any water... [Impossible to do laundry without water. But no there Lightning is holding some strange powder like you can wash clothes with string and powder and metal boxes.] Do you be wanting me to be fetching some?
no subject
Uh, so... the water goes into the machine through pipes, and these clothes are new, so if we wash them all together the colours might run. For now, we'll keep them separate. Later, when they've faded, it won't matter.
no subject
She listens though, the water moved through pipes and the colours might run away?
Urgh she had a headache. This train was so stupid.] So the machine do be bringing the water? [Is she understanding this right? She peered inside the machine.]
no subject
[ She deserves that look, she figures, so she doesn't comment on it. ]
no subject
She began gathering the purple things, pushing them into the machine. She's interested in how this works, it's a very strange thing indeed.]
no subject
I've met a few people who didn't have modern technology back in their worlds. Don't think they'd have picked it up as fast as you, though.
no subject
But also...] You did be meeting people from different worlds before?
no subject
Yeah, I was in another world that wasn't my own before this one, but it was less about trains and more about beating the crap out of each other for two gods' stupid crusade.
no subject
[Two gods? Which gods? If they were fighting was it the shadow god? Or were just two of the light gods bickering?
Gods are a mystery but ancient stories told of the gods all arguing all the time.]
no subject
[ brb kid, loading the other machine with an armful of cargo pants and socks. ]
no subject
She finishes putting all the purple things in the machine.] Do I be shutting the door?
no subject
Yeah. Then pour this into the drawer until it reaches the line. [ Here, have the detergent. ]
Did you help out with this stuff back home too?
no subject
I did be helping washing clothes yes but no like this. We do be using a bucket and water and soap. Do you be knowing soap? You do be making it with fat and ashes and lime. It do be smelling less weird than this white stuff.
[She would like to think something as common as soap would be known in other worlds but everything is so weird here.]
