So-so. But everybody seems to have left all of a sudden. Hi, by the way.

Re: Quiller's Mint - The Laundry

lian, you got in to a washing machine by yourself? *looks incredulous* Nobody does that! Now you'll have to go for a spin in the dryer as well!

Yalahii.

Re: Quiller's Mint - The Laundry

I wouldn't add bleach if I were you, with a person in there it might give nasty chemical reactions or something.

Re: Quiller's Mint - The Laundry

Hmmm.  Good point Sahi.  But, then again, wouldn't simply being in a washing machine cause some nasty reactions even without chemicals?

Hey now, what's this!  What am I thinking!  Applying little concepts like "reason" and "reality" to this pleasant fantasy!

I'll stop now.

Re: Quiller's Mint - The Laundry

*lets lian out of the washing machine.*

Carefull there!  You're apt to be a bit dizzy for a few minutes.  Do you want a nice, fresh, dryer-warm towel or should I just toss you into the dryer yourself?  (I assume "Gentle, Low-Heat" for the settings in the latter case?)

Well nobody let me out. Had to do it all by myself. (Electronic thumbs are really useful sometimes)

There you go!  And no need to be so defensive - turtles aren't terribly fierce.  Why, I haven't "vented my wroth" since the "great war" a little while back.  Even then, my wrath isn't that impressive.

*shakes head to clear dizziness away*

To be honest, being slow (and...umm...a little slow-witted) is characteristic for me. Oh well..*shrugs*...there need to be lame people too so that the glory of the quick-tongued shineth even stronger!!!

Re: Quiller's Mint - The Laundry

Sorry lian!  Busy day at work here - a pile of Data Entry awaits.  So I do a little work, Smarch a while, do a little more work ... etc.  Like I said earlier: I'm sort of "in-and-out" ... my usual.

Nope, I'm still here. And you don't know anyone that has a creditcard? No family, friends or vague acquaintances?

Re: Quiller's Mint - The Laundry

Not completely empty. I'm still lurking behind the mangler. I wonder why they've chosen a laundry in the first place. It's hot enough as it is. Now, an icehouse ...

Re: Quiller's Mint - The Laundry

I'm also slowly working on a name for my "Neighborhood" Area.  Thus far, the idea I've come up with that I like the best is:

The Book Cellar and Coffee Shoppe

Found in the basement of a largely ruinous tower.

This assuming that "Coffee" is known in Shadowmarch.  Perhaps it'll wind up being a Book Cellar (do note the pun: Seller/Cellar) and Chocolate Shoppe!
