Laundry Labors Lost

A bet's a bet and even if Nailah isn't entirely sure how Zandra managed to get her to concede so quickly, she's not gonna walk back on something like that. So she ends up heading downstairs to the laundry room. Maybe nobody's gonna even know about it or take advantage...

Nailah's hopes were dashed, as several mountains of laundry awaited her.

Almost as if they were gathered at super-speed for just such an occasion.

"Zandraaaaa!" Nailah groans as she stares down the mountain of laundry, poking at one of the piles as if that would magically make it disappear.

"Oop, looks like you've got your work cut out for you," Quinn said, poking his head around a corner.

Nailah groans and dramatically tilts her head back before turning around and letting it loll back down to look at Quinn.

"You tricked me into thinking you guys wouldn't be so bad."

"Woah, don't look at me," Quinn said, putting his hands up defensively. "You're taking out your misplaced anger at Zandra over here."

"I am indeed, though you may notice we have...slightly different methods to our particular madness," Quinn smiled.

"I suppose you could put it that way," Quinn laughed. "Nothing quite so formal, but I do think that positive feedback is the way to go. I have sort of appointed myself morale officer; hence the talent show and the getting-to-know-you games and getting out and about, shaking hands."

"Yeah, see, that's so much better than cheating in a fair fight to dump this on me. She's got it out for me, I'm telling you. It's not fair."

"I mean yeeaaaah, but I was just doing it to fight the peddling of drugs right under our nose! I was doing my civic duty. Surely that takes precedence..." she says as she grabs an armful of laundry and chucks it into a washer.

"Well, why didn't you make a call for the X-Teams or something? Or come to one of us for help? Surely, it wasn't a decision between doing nothing and sneaking out..."

"Cause one of the people involved is some hoity-toity rich lady with, like, a title and stuff. You can't just go to the authorities with that kinda stuff!"

"Oh, you can't go 20 feet in Britain without stumbling over someone with a title," Quinn laughed.

"Really? Cause right now it looks like it's mostly laundry ahead." she jokes weakly.

"Oh... Oh, I think I'm getting a vision of the future... I'm seeing 20 bucks someone forgot in their pants..." she says, closing her eyes and placing two fingers against her temple.

"You might need to add an extra zero and a different currency symbol to get people to bite," Quinn laughed, coming more into the laundry room. "But maybe we can work something out."

"Suuuure? But you do realize there's not really 20 'quid' in there, right?" she says, putting the emphasis on the currency as if to reinforce that she is indeed aware of the UK's insistence on their own currency.

"Well, maybe you can help me out in another way, if I give you a hand here," Quinn said, flashing a smile.

"You saw the flyers for the upcoming talent show?" Quinn asked, dragging a bag of laundry over to one of the industrial machines.

"Our poor Mr. Narumi's stomach aside, I think we were pretty effective together," Quinn joked. "And, well, you know. If we manage to win, perhaps people could be convinced to look the other way at your...nocturnal activities?"

"I've got some ideas for the whole thing -- flipping the normal order of operations on it's head, as it were. Give them something they haven't seen before, even if it's built out of the same basic ingredients."

Quinn delicately poked at some of the laundry. "Alright, odds there are multiple Stantons hiding out here?"

"No way. I'd put 5 quids on one, but that's it. Been seeing Will frantically running from class to class too much for shenanigans."

"Mmm. Well, you know the rumors, but I suppose that's neither here nor there," he chuckled, shoving some clothes into the industrial-sized washer.

"I could use a bit of magic to make them all disappear, but then I think that would rather poison your floor against the prefects more than they are already, hrm?"

"Ya think?" she chuckles. "Oops, lost most of your clothes. My bad!"

"Could you do that? I would sacrifice a pair of pants to see that." she says, digging through the pile of laundry to find the vein of her own buried in there somewhere and yanking on a pants-leg to extract it from the pile.

"I mean, sure," Quinn shrugged, taking Nailah's pants leg. "A fairly simple trick; although I'm not entirely sure why you're asking me to remove your clothing," he joked.

"Cause it's an old pair and I wanna see a small colony of newts! Do they hang around? Where did they come from? It's cool!"

"The more questions you ask about magic, the less magical it comes," Quinn laughed, taking the pants and beginning to wave his hands over it, mysteriously.
