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.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Apr 28, 2020 8:54 pm

"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.

by **Quinn Quartermain** » Tue Apr 28, 2020 10:18 pm

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

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Apr 29, 2020 3:31 am

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."

by **Quinn Quartermain** » Wed Apr 29, 2020 3:36 am

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

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Apr 29, 2020 2:54 pm

"Yeah, well, you're like her colleague or something, right?"

by **Quinn Quartermain** » Wed Apr 29, 2020 8:15 pm

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

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 5:24 pm

"So, like, you're the good cop and she's the buttface cop?"

by **Quinn Quartermain** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 10:50 pm

"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."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri May 01, 2020 1:33 am

"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."

by **Quinn Quartermain** » Sat May 02, 2020 9:26 am

"Well, now, be fair -- you were breaking the school rules, were you not?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed May 06, 2020 10:57 pm

"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.

by **Quinn Quartermain** » Thu May 07, 2020 12:42 am

"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..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu May 07, 2020 2:51 am

"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!"

by **Quinn Quartermain** » Thu May 07, 2020 5:51 am

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

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri May 08, 2020 11:27 pm

"And that's why you gotta have somebody who won't be deterred by that!"

by **Quinn Quartermain** » Sat May 09, 2020 3:41 am

"No, no, rules do exist for a reason. But, cheer up and all that. Blue skies ahead."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon May 11, 2020 5:13 pm

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

by **Quinn Quartermain** » Mon May 11, 2020 6:42 pm

"You could always try and pull a Huck Finn. Convince everyone else it's super fun and exciting," Quinn joked.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon May 11, 2020 7:45 pm

"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.

by **Quinn Quartermain** » Mon May 11, 2020 8:30 pm

"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."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue May 12, 2020 10:57 pm

"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.

by **Quinn Quartermain** » Wed May 13, 2020 1:31 am

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

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed May 13, 2020 3:38 pm

"Sure, whaddaya need?"

by **Quinn Quartermain** » Wed May 13, 2020 5:04 pm

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

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed May 13, 2020 10:32 pm

"Yeah, looks fun."

by **Quinn Quartermain** » Thu May 14, 2020 8:09 am

"Wellll, I could use a hand with my act. You know, if you're not planning on entering yourself."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri May 15, 2020 6:45 pm

"I don't think they're gonna let me punch a bad guy on stage, so sure! I had fun making Tosh throw up the last time." she chuckles.

by **Quinn Quartermain** » Fri May 15, 2020 7:55 pm

"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?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri May 15, 2020 8:06 pm

"You had me at 'look the other way'." she grins.

by **Quinn Quartermain** » Fri May 15, 2020 11:04 pm

"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?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat May 16, 2020 7:33 am

"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."

by **Quinn Quartermain** » Sat May 16, 2020 7:38 am

"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?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat May 16, 2020 4:34 pm

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

by **Quinn Quartermain** » Sat May 16, 2020 5:03 pm

"Your pants are now a small colony of newts. Nothing to be done, I'm afraid. ~Magic~!"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat May 16, 2020 8:12 pm

"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.

by **Quinn Quartermain** » Sat May 16, 2020 8:22 pm

"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.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun May 17, 2020 5:27 pm

"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!"

by **Quinn Quartermain** » Sun May 17, 2020 7:19 pm

"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.
