Dirty laundry


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

[Always traveling means she has to haul her laundry into laundromats. Not that she'd complain as the time waiting gives her a chance to collect notes for her next supernatural romance novel by observing others and having some time to her self to think. Really she shouldn't be scribbling down titles about supernatural beings and romancing laundry...Boo in the Rinse Cycle. If anything it might help the writers block.]
