MINGLE LOG

We're back, everybody! Fresh week, fresh house, fresh murder. It is indeed a fresh house as when people wake on Monday morning they'll see that — everything is fixed! The windows, the table, whatever property damage that was inflicted last week is all cleaned up and reset. There is no SOS on the roof anymore. None of that. Anyone who stayed up all night on Sunday will have seen the mannequins diligently cleaning and repairing the house during the course of the night, finished by dawn. Yay!

They've also opened a new room in the house. A cleaning room — there is a washing machine, dryer, and various cleaning supplies in the room. Mops and brooms and dustpans and swiffers and all sorts of things! There's even a basket for collecting dirty laundry too.

And then in the morning, they bring in a few things to note, dumping it all in the living room.

• A assortment of feminine clothing — dresses, skirts, blouses, etc
• Included in that pile of clothing are twenty-five sailor uniforms of various sizes
• Make up! Quite a bit — enough to last the rest of the time
• So many packs of underwear. You had underwear last week but like, this is better
• A tablet with Candy Crush and Infinity Nikki on it. There is nothing else accessible on it. There's a sticky note on the cover that says FOR ECHINACEA
• A gun with one bullet is on the coffee table
• A spear is laid across the coffee table as well

That said, it doesn't seem like the food restocked. Huh...

[ Oh, thank goodness Yuta isn't going to break the washing machines twice over, then. ]

That's good! [ ... ] Could you show me?

[voring]

[YUTA........]

...Sure! [The way he genuinely can't tell if Yuta has just never used a washing machine before or if he's trying to give a pop-quiz on how washing machines work. HE WILL WIN...]

You got anything you want to wash?

[incurse]

[ Maybe it's both! He is a man of mystery (source: no one) ]

Mm, one sec.

[ Editing magic makes it look like Yuta left and grabbed his dirty laundry in a matter of seconds. He's already back! ]

Okay, where do we start?

[voring]

[HE'S VERY MYSTERIOUS and even moreso with the magic of tv editing ooh, aah...

Pops open the door to the machine!]

Okay! So first you just gotta put the clothes in here. If you really wanna be picky, you can separate the colored ones and the dark ones out from the white and grey stuff, 'cuz the dye might bleed, but then you'll have to do more loads.

[incurse]

[ Guy who almost exclusively wears white and black...this is vital info. ]

Oh, I had no idea...okay!

[ Separating his whites from his darks now!!! Before throwing the whites in the washer. ]

[voring]

[HE COULD HAVE TURNED YUTA'S WHOLE WARDROBE GREY.]

Okay! So with whites you can add bleach if you want 'em extra clean-looking, like if you get messy stuff on 'em. You put the bleach here, and you put the detergent here. Then you just use this thing here to say how dirty the load is, and this one here if your clothing's delicate, and this one to pick the water temperature-

[Just pointing everything out as he goes ALL THESE KNOBS AND BUTTONS.]

Then you just pop the lid shut and hit the start button! Easy!

[incurse]

[ Right, bleach for washing blood out of his clothes! He gets bloodied up often enough it's probably only a matter of time, so this is Noted. Nodding feverishly, Yuta quickly follows the sequence of directions that Obikawa gives him and—bam!! The lid is slammed shut. ]

Okay! I think that should do it...

[ Presses the start button...the machine rattles to life. It worked! ]

Thanks, Obikawa-san! Even at school, there were people who helped with this sort of thing. [ Ijichi. Ijichi helped with these things ] So I never really learned for myself.

[voring]

[Yuta your blood clothes... blothes, if you will. He gives a thumbs up, though!]

Woah, you must've gone to a pretty fancy school, then. [He's picturing the ENTIRELY WRONG TYPE OF SCHOOL but it's fine. Ijichi really does so much heavy lifting.]

But I get it! When I moved to Tokyo, I had to learn to do everything, too. Cleaning and cooking and laundry and all that! Stuff like taxes, too. Being in a society is a real headache, isn't it?

[incurse]

That must've been overwhelming. [ And given what he's learned about Obikawa... ] I'm surprised you didn't get arrested or something.

[ For being a totally normal human man in a human man's world! ]

[voring]

It wasn't too bad! I can learn anything!

[SAID WITH PRIDE... and then, with still way too much pride:] They have better things to be doing, anyway. They're distracted all the time with bigger and weirder crimes that happen all around the area.

[Even he, the totally normal human man in a human man's world, isn't as wild as some of the criminals that come to hang out in restricted zones.]

[incurse]

[ Obikawa, recipient of the "not as big of weirdo as you could have been" award... ]

Ahh, so you were outclassed... [ Nodding. That's a shame!! ]

[voring]

[He'll cherish it forever...

BUT HE POINTS AT YUTA AT THAT.]

No way! I'm never outclassed! I'm still the biggest problem!

[incurse]

Doesn't sound like it to me. You're practically a housewife, teaching people to wash clothes like this.

[ He's been domesticated!! ]

[voring]

Nuh-uh! I'm a janitor!

[HUFFS AND PUFFS he is a raccoon that has truly been slowly indoctrinated into society though damn. At least to a degree.]

Don't forget that I can leave you to deal with the dryer yourself, too!

[incurse]

I could always just hang those up outside to dry.

[ cue another snowstorm ]

[voring]

[THEY'RE GONNA LOSE THEIR DRYER ANYWAY]

I'm gonna take your clothes if you hang 'em up to dry.

[incurse]

You'd steal my clothes?! [ ...Hold on. ] We share a room! You couldn't hide them from me.

[voring]

[HE DIDN'T THINK THIS THROUGH.]

I could! I'll find a place! I'm gonna find a place right now!

[FLEES THIS TAVERN.]

[incurse]

[ HEY WAIT

...okay no he's not going to chase him, he has to babysit his clothes so no one steals them, apparently. Keep your secret hiding place, Gandalf. ]
