the laundromat prompt

[cocksocker]

the LAUNDROMAT Perhaps you live in a dorm or an apartment that hasn't seen renovations since the eighties. Maybe your luck has really dried up and your washing machine at home broke the night before a job interview and you haven't done a load of laundry in two weeks. Whatever your story is you've ended up at the local 24-hour laundromat. It could be creeping in on midnight or three in the morning. Either way, the place is a dead zone. Leaving you floating in a liminal space where reality has been stripped down to the sounds of clattering quarters and the continuous thrum of the machines under the buzz of neon lights. This would be a horrible time to bump into someone you know, or worse - a complete stranger while you're staring into the middle distance in nothing but your American flag boxers reading a paperback. HOW TO PLAY: + Comment with your character, preferences, etc. + Leave the comment blank or be daring and write a top-level starter + Comment to others and play out all those awkward run-ins or strange chance meetings

[Shiro doesn't catch the notice of his arm, too busy transferring clothes of every shape and size from washers to dryers. Some of them are distinctly too small to ever fit on him and some of them look too big. He hums as he works to show he's listening.

It takes a special kind of person to work with kids. He tells him a lot about the guy across from him. That's a good thing. So he smiles and huffs a laugh.]

There are worse things to have your clothes smell like. How far along in your courses are you?
