What I Went Through (Part One)

Savanaclaw Dorm - Leona's Room

Man, Leona, would it kill you to put your dirty clothes in the laundry basket instead of leavin' 'em everywhere but?
Anything you toss on the floor is gonna get sucked up by the vacuum cleaner, y'know.

Ugh, fine. You don't have to be a nag about it, Ruggie.

No, I think I do, 'cause you're not getting the message otherwise! You gotta learn to clean up after yourself.
Look at this expensive fabric, crumpled up like a piece of trash. I weep for your clothes.
And there's more on the floor over here! Isn't this what you wore yesterday?
The least you could do is pile everything you take off in the same place! Wait, what's this? Sportswear...?
Hey, Leona. You tore a set of sportswear at a Spelldrive game not too long ago, right?

Huh? Oh, I guess so.

You've got a spare set, unlike me. That part's fine, but...
That's the only set you've got until your new backup duds arrive, so you gotta keep it clean. We went over this already, man!
And yet it's sitting on the floor in a dirty heap!
You've got flight class tomorrow, don't ya? What were you gonna wear?

Does the nagging EVER end with you? It's fine as long as it gets washed, right?

Just so we're clear here, who do you think is gonna wash it?

You?

  • sigh* You're lucky I'm used to this already.
    It's getting late, though. If I don't get it washed ASAP, it's not gonna be dry in time for tomorrow.
    Okay, Leona, I'm gonna put the rest of this stuff in with this load. Let me know if you need any of it faster, okay?

Yeah, sure.

You don't mind if I throw my own clothes in with yours, do you?

......

He's already asleep. Sheesh. Okay, I'm gonna do this my way!
Hup! Oof. It's heavy carryin' laundry for two every time I haul a load.
Now to get the detergent, and...
Uh-oh. It's empty.
Oh yeah, I guess I DID use the rest of it on the last load I did. Hey, Leona!

Mrgh... Grrr...

He's never gonna let me hear the end of it if I wake him up now.
Fine. Guess I'm going shopping at the school store. I'll expense it to Leona's account.
Mister S's Mystery Shop

Welcome to Mr. S's mystery shop!
Ah, you're wearing a white coat. Let me guess: You ran out of something for a lab experiment?
You can find chemistry components on the shelves in the back. Potionology components are the next shelf over, and for alchemy—

Whoa, slow down. I'm just in lab wear for laundry day. It'll cost me more if I get my dorm uniform dirty, y'know?
On that note, I'm looking for some detergent— my usual brand, the pricey one that smells nice.
I can't find it where it normally goes. In fact, ALL the detergent seems to be gone from the shelves.

That's because I bought the last of it this morning, Ruggie.

Man, really?! I'm in a bind here, Trey!
I gotta get Leona's sportswear cleaned by tomorrow!

I'm really sorry about this.

Yeah, I'll bet you are. Wonder if I could get Jack to share some of his. *sigh*
It's strange, though. Normally there's more'n enough detergent to go around. What gives?

It's probably because my dorm bought it all out...

What was that?

Nothing. Never mind.
Say, if you really need some, I could share enough for you to do one load.

No foolin'? You'd do that?

Yeah, sure. But would you mind if I stopped somewhere before I fetch the detergent?

Sure, that's cool.
As long as we wrap this up before sundown. I gotta have this laundry dry by tomorrow.

Don't worry, it won't take that long...
...I hope.

Okay, then let's get your errand taken care of!
Lucky me! I get one load's worth of free detergent... Shyeheehee.
Say, what were you here to buy? You said you were here this morning already, right?

Oh, we were running a little short on paint.

Paint...?

What I Went Through (Part Two)

Heartslabyul Dorm - Rose Maze

Uh, hold up. I thought you said you just had some minor errand to take care of. What's this?

It's exactly what it looks like—the whole Heartslabyul Dorm is painting the white roses red.
The paint I bought at the school store was for the freshmen who haven't quite mastered color-changing magic yet.

Goootcha. That's why you bought all the detergent— to wash the paint stains outta their clothes.

Exactly. You're good at connecting the dots.

Thanks... Hey, wait, why're you pushin' a paint can into my arms with a smile on your face?!

If you want that detergent, help with the rose painting. Oh, wait, you're a sophomore. You should be able to do it with magic, yeah?

Wait, wait, hooold up. I thought you were doin' me a solid, man! You didn't say anything about there being a catch!

You never asked.

You had that line loaded up and ready to fire, didn't you?
Man, this was your goal all along! Look, I don't want any part of this stupid, pointless job.

Suit yourself. I guess you won't be getting your detergent after all.

Oh, come ON!

I'm fine either way, personally. Are you?

Tch. I don't wanna go home empty-handed, either. Fine. I'll do it.
All I gotta do is use magic to turn the white roses red, right?

Yup. Not pink, not green, not aquamarine. It's red or nothing.

Are you done with your dumb rhymes yet? Let's get this over with!
Okay, they're all red. Phew. I'm finally done.

Nice work. Thanks for volunteering.

More like getting volun-told, if you ask me. We had a deal. I want that detergent, pronto.

Yeah, yeah. Hold your horses. I'll get it.
Savanaclaw Dorm

Ahhh. Nothin' like soaking up the sun.
I couldn't ask for better laundry weather. Too bad I ran out of detergent, or I could've washed the lab coat with the rest.
Okay, now to hang this stuff out to dry. I'll start with Leona's sportswear.

Man, it's big! Guess that goes with the territory when someone gets a different diet and upbringing than the rest of us.
Jack's got a voracious appetite too, actually.
I wish I was a little taller sometimes, but I bet that would come with extra eating expenses...

Are you still doing laundry?

WHOA! Geez, you scared the daylights outta me! Don't sneak up on me like that!
What're you doing out here, anyway? I thought you were taking a siesta.

I figured I'd nap out here while the weather's nice.

If it's nice enough outside to drag YOU outta bed, the clothes're gonna be dry as a bone in no time flat.
You wouldn't believe what kinda hijinks I had to go through to get this all taken care of.

Izzat so... *yawn*

Hey, wait! One thing before you doze off!
We're outta detergent. I gotta go buy some more, so I'm gonna need some cash.

Huh? Detergent...?

Y'know, soap? Cleanser? Laundry sauce? That stuff ain't free, for the record.

Ugh, fine. Here's my wallet.

Easy there! Don't just toss it at me!

I've got plenty in there. Take what you need and keep the change.

Yeah, sure. Wait, all you've got in here are big bills. You really want me to break one of these?

Why're you getting all hung up on the details? Don't make me repeat myself.
I'm catchin' some z's now. *yaaawn*
Zzz... Zzz...

Sheesh. Maybe I DO get hung up on details, but I don't think he gets hung up on 'em nearly enough.
He wouldn't even notice if I kept more in change than what the detergent cost, I bet.
"It's one 'detergent,' Ruggie. How much could it cost? Ten thaumarks?" Talk about outta touch.
Far be it from me to look a gift horse in the mouth, though. Cha-ching!
