the laundromat

[shelliemay]

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

[It's his turn to do the laundry in town. Is very meticulous and considerate with regards to clothing, and is especially fond of his tie and trenchcoat. Canon current but I can play him from any point in canon. OTA, canon, crosscanon, assumed CR, etc.]

[ There were six people living in the house, all college students at nearby universities. All of them paying a portion of rent and utilities. And all of them, somehow, all needing the laundry at the same time. This meant Evie was stuck with going to the twenty-four hour laundromat. Not that there was anything wrong with it. In fact, she was glad to have a reason to step out of the house.

It had been it's usual chaotic and loud self with people heading in to go back to school. And there'd been someone new this year. Well...new to the others.

Despite how rough their lives were as foster kids living with Miss Godmother (her actual last name, which Evie found hilarious), and despite how poorly Evie and Harry had gotten along in the beginning, they'd become friends before she was adopted and they'd lost touch.

So imagine her faint delight at seeing he was one of the new roommates.

But, as stated, it was chaos in the house and Evie wasn't a fan. So she packed her laundry stuff into her car and invited Harry along in case he had any of his own to do with the promise of ordering a pizza and cheese fries from the restaurant across the street.

Now she was sitting on one of the tables meant for folding clothes, waiting for one of her loads of laundry to dry and another to finish washing, picking at the aforementioned fries and talking to Harry to catch up. ]

Do you remember the one time we tried to sneak out of the house on my birthday to go to a horror movie and she actually let us get away with it?

[ She'd hated the horror movie. Absolutely hated it. Had nightmares for weeks after and she suspects that's why the foster lady didn't ground them for coming back into the house at five AM. ]

[ Hen's in a similar get up, swap the boxers for a pair of shorts that cover her rump and little else. She's sitting on top of her washing machine with a box of Chinese food as she watches him with a tilted head. ]

...You know the best way to get bloodstains outta clothes?

There's nothing more sad than seeing a once-noble man brought low by... really, an inevitable turn of fortune.

Shall we see your father next, panhandling on the edge of Times Square?

[ He took a ticket to the manned counter, smiling drily, waiting for a plastic-wrapped tuxedo to be returned to him. A combination laundromat and fast-turnaround dry cleaner. ]

I'd offer you quarters...

...But I don't have any.

"See, that's why I wear red," Wade jokes as he adds a few more things to his load. His loose fitting work out clothing does a decent job of covering up his rather horrific scarring except for his neck and face.

But no one really seems to take notice of them here.

"Dude. No. Use the Tide pen first. Trust me."

The only thing worse than doing laundry alone: doing laundry with one other person present. Jude had missed the days when the washing machines were in his apartment building's basement. They charged 65 cents more per load, the crooks. But at least he could go back upstairs and wait comfortably between cycles.

But in this day and age, he looked over his shoulder often enough to strain his neck. Granted the woman on the other end of the laundromat seemed harmless enough, but you couldn't be too careful.

Hauling his clothes into the washing machine and taking his detergent packet out of the laundry basket, Jude leans up against a wall where he's less visible through the windows and glances at her out of the corner of his eye as he opens up his digital reader. It was gonna be a long night.

Hastur | Good Omens

[hastur_la_vista]

[You may not know this, but laundromats were created by Hell. They were created because of their general bleakness, the way that they take your money, and how no matter how many times you dry them, your towels never come out perfectly crisp. It causes a sort of low-grade evil that just permeates the atmosphere.

Hastur is not here to do laundry. In fact, he smells like poo. However, he is here to pass on information, lurk around for many hours, or be generally difficult to you.]

Re: Hastur | Good Omens

[privatelyfallen]

[Ugh. Jesus. Gabriel-that-was (he's not about changing his name. At all. Though Crowley and the other demons he's encountered insist he'll want to) is wearing a pair of cheap sunglasses and sitting on a bench watching the laundry spin. He at least bathes.

that said, he's a low man on the totem pole and he needs...allies. Or perhaps to know his coworkers.

Fuck if he knows.

Fuck if he cares.]

You know you could wash your clothes. Even I know that's how clothes work.

[She is that strange lady hijacking the sink to wash silk. The t-shirt she is wearing is clearly stolen since no one looks at muscly Greek lady and thinks Spider-Man fan.

She'll be asking for a couple of drops of detergent if that isn't enough of a starter for you.]
