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.

Yes, Summer did possess a seemingly endless supply of the same pink tank top, but there were favorites among them. And while she really wasn't feeling up to doing laundry that morning, she'd gone and spilled an upsetting amount of juice on her favorite of the favorites, thanks to a cat that really should know by now not to be so underfoot all the time, and the last thing she wanted was for a stain to set in on her favorite of favorite tank tops, and so fine, laundry, you won this time, and she quickly treated the shirt for the stain and gathered up the growing pile of other clothes and headed on down to the laundry room to get it taken care of.

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."
somethingwithturquoise: (simple listening)

Summer had being wondering if she was still on talking-near instead of talking-to level when she came in, so that definitely answered that.

"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."
somethingwithturquoise: (what.everrrr. (at the hulk musical.))

"I was pouring it," Summer scoffed faintly, "at the exact moment that Pancakes decided to....I don't know....murder me, probably. Needless to say, I survived, but my shirt and the juice? Not so much."
somethingwithturquoise: (ohmygooooood)

[personal profile] somethingwithturquoise 2023-02-04 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"I hope so; it's my favorite one!" said Summer, tossing this poor victimized shirt into a machine, with about half a dozen nearly identical ones.

The question about her cat's homicidal tendencies, it would seem, was just going to be left ambiguous and unanswered.

It wasn't all pink! There were a few splashes of other colors in there, every so often, like the green t-shirt she was sporting today, and don't even get her started on that cute yellow Marc Jacobs top, but, no, yeah, endless supply of pink was fair.

"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?"
somethingwithturquoise: (lofty profile)

[personal profile] somethingwithturquoise 2023-02-04 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"That shirt," said Summer, after a moment of being mildly impressed by Stark's continued attempts to hold conversations...near her, with everything but her, "is pretty much the dictionary definition of a laundry day shirt. How long have you even had that thing?"
somethingwithturquoise: (uh well...)

[personal profile] somethingwithturquoise 2023-02-04 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Summer shrugged a little. Not that Stark would necessarily see it.

"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.

At some point, after bribing Rex with extra breakfast treats, Connor had managed to get the blanket Rex has claimed as his own away from him. Because honestly, it needed a wash, as did most of the clothes he owned. While he wasn't as bad as some, Connor was still very firmly in the 'do laundry when you are running out of clothes' group.

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.

Funny how that happened huh?

"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."

"Glad to see I'm not the only one who puts this off more than they probably should," Connor said as he started sorting through the piles, deciding to get that blanket of Rex's done first.

"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.

"Just Rex right now... But I've had several over the years. None as much of a handful as a tiny dragon-like-creature can be, though!"

"Well, Rex is from a prehistoric time, back in my world. He got stuck in our time and well, kinda became a pet because there was no way to get him back home. He seems to like it on the island" Connor said with a smirk. "He's not a fan of the winters here though, hence the destroyed blanket from several months of hibernation."

"We have things called anomalies... kinda like the portals you have here in Fandom. They usually connect to times waaaaay back in the ancient past. And sometimes animals come through them into our world," Connor explained. "My team and I usually try to get them back through to their time, but sometimes the anomaly closes before we can. Like with Rex."
