MHA Laundry Room, Saturday Late Morning
While it generally happened in a very offscreen sort of capacity laundry was one of those things that was unavoidable at times. This was one of those times. Stark had enough clothes (something that was still occasionally something of a marvel considering his life before this island) but he didn't have an excessive amount and so washing those clothes had to be a regular occurrence.
He was in one of his oldest shirts, fraying at the edges, and a pair of soft pants that had seen better days as he carefully started filling up one of the washing machines. He might need a second one based on how full the basket of clothes he'd brought down here with him, but one thing at a time. And he didn't want to monopolize the machines if anyone else might happen to need them today. The building did have a lot of occupants, after all.

And did stop a moment to see someone already there. Not because of who it was, mind you, just that laundry was usually such a handwavey thing that she wasn't really used to anyone being there.
"Oh, god," she said, heading over to a table to set down her basket, "is this going to turn into one of those things where it's, like, all of a sudden, people seem to remember that we have a laundry room down here and everyone shows up?"
What? It was totally a thing!
But also, as she started to sort through a few things before really getting to work: "Hi, Stark."
no subject
"Hello, Summer." He was definitely talking to the washing machine in front of him. Sorry.
"I didn't think anyone would be here."
no subject
"There usually isn't," she allowed. "At least whenever I come down. But..."
She lifted up the reason for her being here that morning, even though she knew Stark would be looking anywhere else.
"I had a juice incident."
no subject
"I haven't seen anyone in here for a long time." Though did it count as seeing Summer if he couldn't quite look at her? Really?
"What happened with your juice?"

Or maybe Stark just hadn't noticed. Maybe he hadn't looked at Pancakes for some reason!
"Can you save the shirt?"
no subject
The question about her cat's homicidal tendencies, it would seem, was just going to be left ambiguous and unanswered.
no subject
"I hope it survives," he said, looking down at one of his own shirts. "I didn't know you had favorites." He just thought there was an endless supply of pink. Not that he was one to talk since he rarely had much variation in his own outfits.
"How are you, besides...juiced?"
no subject
"It's softer than the other ones," Summer offered, because there was, sometimes, logic to her reasonings, "and it fits a little bit better, too. And I'm good. Pretty uneventful Saturday, really. How are you?"
no subject
"I'm fine" Stark said. "Today has been quiet. No juice or anything like that. Nothing yesterday or Thursday either. It's been a quiet week. And...soft is good. This is soft," he added, holding up a hand which was holding onto the tattered edge of a sleeve.

Was this one of the shirts that he'd left behind when he was here before he came back?
"It's comfortable. So I keep it."
That, and he was still conditioned to hold on to things because he'd been used to only having one set of clothing for so long it was difficult to get rid of things that were still functional.
no subject
"Just wondering," she said. "It definitely looks comfortable, I'll give it that. I just wouldn't wear it out anywhere, though, except maybe down the the laundry room. It is a good laundry day shirt, so..."
She finished loading that first set and closed the lid as if to complete that thought.

So, when Connor made it down he had a laundry bag of clothes and a basket of blankets and bedding. This might take a bit... Maybe someday he would learn not to put this off for so long. But that day wasn't today obviously.
"Hey," he said with a nod as he walked in, setting the load down at one of the empty machines. "Stark, isn't it?" he asked with a grin.
no subject
Look, it was going to be one of those days where everyone remembered the laundry room existed!
no subject
"Connor. Mind if I use one?" Connor asked with a sheepish grin and a nod toward one of the machines. "Kinda let the clothes pile get a bit out of hand."
no subject
"I put mine off too," he said, nodding towards his own basket.
no subject
"Pets sure make this a bit of a challenge, don't they?" he said as he held up the blanket that looked like it had seen better days. He considered it for a moment, then put it in and started adding the laundry soap.
