LAUNDRY DAY! stopthat_destro November 8 2011, 00:41:07 UTC

Thanks to Admiral Flagg and all of the insanity surrounding that, Rex has fallen behind on his laundry. So, right now, he's got a load of bedsheets and other stuff in one machine, and he's currently stuffing a lot of black clothing into another. In his haste, he may have dropped his super cool Cobra Commander hood on the floor without noticing it.

Jim hated laundry day. Not only because he had never done his own laundry in his life. Not even because he hated carting his clothes around like some kind of common...person. But mostly because his suits are dry clean only. So laundry day is a depressing reminder that he really could look a lot better if someone would take his clothes to be cleaned.

Ah well.

He walked inside and gave the hood a disdainful look before he kicked it towards Rex.

"I believe you've forgotten something."

Re: LAUNDRY DAY! stopthat_destro November 8 2011, 02:18:03 UTC

"Hm?" He looked over his shoulder at the hood on the ground-- damn it! That was his... slightly secret uniform. Rex snatched it up quickly and threw it into the wash, hoping Jim didn't see what it actually was. "You don't have to kick it," he snapped, pouring some detergent in.

Re: LAUNDRY DAY! consultcriminal November 8 2011, 02:20:28 UTC

He gave a half shrug, dumping his measly pile of clothes into a washer. He stared at the dial for a long moment before he decided what he needed.

This was not what he wanted to spend his time doing. Maybe he could find someone to do his laundry for him. Now wouldn't that be nice.

"Oh, you're right. However, bending down to reach for it was just not what I was willing to do for you."

Re: LAUNDRY DAY! stopthat_destro November 8 2011, 02:25:25 UTC

"You could have just said something. Without the kicking," he grumbled, slamming the machine shut and starting the rinse. Now, the waiting game... Because he wasn't going to leave his clothing unsupervised. People had a tendency to steal his things, which was... sadly similar to his college experience.

Rex glanced around for the book he'd set down earlier-- a really long, boring fascinating book on bioengineering from several centuries into his future. Where the hell did he put it?

"Have you seen a... ah... book lying around?"

Re: LAUNDRY DAY! consultcriminal November 8 2011, 02:29:08 UTC

Jim gave a half shrug, still contemplating the dial and the decision that he had made. Maybe it was the right one. Maybe not. But it was too late now. The magic of the washing machine had already started.

He looked over at the question with a laugh. "Hm. First your...hood...and now your book." He returned his attention to the dial.

"Did it go in the machine with your clothes?"

Re: LAUNDRY DAY! stopthat_destro November 8 2011, 02:36:49 UTC

"It's not a hood," he said indignantly, even though it totally was. "And don't be stupid. Of course it's not in there."

...

Or was it? Rex eyed the machine warily, listening for thumps... but it was too early in the cycle for any of that.

Re: LAUNDRY DAY! consultcriminal November 8 2011, 02:42:35 UTC

Jim gave him a knowing look when he glanced to the machine. He managed to keep quiet for a whole ten seconds before: "You could always open the lid. I'm sure it won't do any harm." Now he was almost hoping it was there.

Re: LAUNDRY DAY! stopthat_destro November 8 2011, 03:04:25 UTC

"No," he hmphed, moving around the machine awkwardly so he could peer behind it. "There's no way I was careless enough to put it in there, so don't even try."

Re: LAUNDRY DAY! consultcriminal November 8 2011, 03:10:39 UTC

Jim watched him carefully, as he did with almost everyone he came across, and snorted.

"Well, if it is, it's already ruined."

Re: LAUNDRY DAY! stopthat_destro November 8 2011, 03:20:07 UTC

"There's no use speculating, because it's not."

But Rex was starting to doubt it. He wasn't about to give Jim the satisfaction of checking, though. He just gave the other man a withering look.

"So, you're Trip's inmate." Poor Trip.

Re: LAUNDRY DAY! consultcriminal November 8 2011, 03:29:57 UTC

"Suit yourself," he said with a laugh. The mention of Trip made him roll his eyes, though.

"Unfortunately, yes. Who do you belong to?" He knew, but it seemed polite.

Re: LAUNDRY DAY! stopthat_destro November 8 2011, 03:34:21 UTC

When put like that, it just served to remind Rex of how powerless he was to be an inmate in this place. Because, really, Capa was his keeper, in a sense. He literally had control over whether Rex lived or died.

"I don't belong to--" He huffed, slumping his shoulders a little, and grudgingly muttered, "Capa."

Re: LAUNDRY DAY! consultcriminal November 8 2011, 03:41:26 UTC

Jim smirked, as that was exactly the kind of reaction that he wanted from all that. "Of course you do. Well, how is that?"

Re: LAUNDRY DAY! stopthat_destro November 8 2011, 03:50:22 UTC

"I don't," he insisted. "And he gives me space, doesn't condescend to me or try to order me around. So, it's an ideal match." He eyed Moriarty. "And your own pairing?"

Re: LAUNDRY DAY! consultcriminal November 8 2011, 04:15:07 UTC

Jim adopted a falsely pitying look. "Oh, Trip tries. He tries so hard." Moriarty couldn't keep that look, though, and just laughed to himself. "But he doesn't know what he's doing."
