Alice was now covered in raw sewage as well as gooey alligator bits. Zack had mentioned that it was probably a bad idea to go back into the dorms dripping these sorts of things, and Zack happened to be right

Oh, hey! This was actually a really good idea. There was less bouncing to be had at the moment, since the entire day was spent in every thread ever omg running around and hacking at things. But it was a good idea, anyhow.
Zack had to sympathize with the poor janitorial staff of the dorms, after days like today. And that was why he was... Well...
First and foremost, he was going to blush. A lot. She was in her underwear, okay?
"Any chance we can get some of this crud out of my uniform, before I start peeling off the layers?"
"Certainly," Alice said, aiming the hose at him. Strangely, she wasn't too embarrassed to be half-naked in public. Fandom had possibly shaken bits of the Victorian out of her, at least, whenever it went up against her more pragmatic side. She wore bathing suits that were this revealing, after all. "Careful, it's very cold. I don't seem to be able to change the temperature."
"I can deal with the cold," Zack assured her, trying to rub at his clothing with his hands where the water hit him. "That's not even a problem. Thanks for the heads-up, though!"
Scrub, scrub, scrub. Oh, man. His uniform was gross.
"It might be easier with fewer layers," Alice noted pragmatically. "I could turn my back if you're modest. I was modest, but Fandom seems to have done a great deal to my sense of propriety."
For some reason, Alice could deal better with herself being half-dressed than with others; she was trying her hardest not to blush, or look. She was particularly shameless that way after a kill.
"There are janitors, then?" she asked. "Zack and I were trying to determine that, earlier. I can't imagine that they haven't quit in outright disgust."
Ed was really not having the best day, having handwavily encountered the same thing most of the town had. Monkey-fighting alligators. Well, no, there weren't any monkeys involved, but it was far more polite than what he was thinking at the time.
At first, when he saw people getting clean, he was relieved. Then he saw how scantily clad Alice was and was all of a sudden rather flustered.
"All over town," Alice said cheerfully. Somehow, seeing others undressed unnerved her, but stripping down herself failed to be having that effect, today. "I was covered in goo and sewage. Would you like a hose-off?"
Amazingly, she didn't realize how unfortunate that sounded.
Edmund was doing everything in his power not to look at her. Oh look, that tree was fascinating. As was the grass! And the sky. One could never forget the sky.
Still, he was covered in the unfortunate grime that came with battling mutant alligators, so eventually, awkwardly, he managed a "yes please."
"Hold still, then," she said, aiming the hose at him. "It's very cold, I hope that's all right. Consider it a nice, bracing English sort of thing. Stiff upper lip and all that."

He was also covered in a lot of gore and there were several bite marks on his clothes.
"That was GLORIOUS!"
Which is Klingon for "BEST! DAY! EVER!"

"Agreed," he said pulling off most of his damaged cadet uniform. "I do not believe the troll janitor would approve."

"Uh, er, alligators," was all he managed.
