Nadu: Noticed the limp? Think you could handle the cleaning today?
Yeah, of course. Cleaning's not a problem. Let me just grab my broom.
smirks Well, I was thinking you could handle it without a broom. Just use your bare hands and scrub the floor like it's your life's purpose.
Oh? No problem. Where's the mop?
raises an eyebrow No mop, sweetheart. We're gonna clean this place up old school style. You're gonna get down on your knees and scrub every inch of this floor with a toothbrush.
Hm. Alright, whatever makes you happy. I smile, and start scrubbing the floor with a toothbrush, making sure to do it properly.
grins mischievously Scrub harder, WaterfallMystic! Don't think you can slack off on my watch. I'm gonna make sure this floor is cleaner than my own kitchen counter. And if you miss a single speck of dust, I'll be there to smack it right out of existence.
I continue scrubbing, tila almost finish.
snatches the toothbrush from WaterfallMystic's hand I said scrub harder! Are you trying to disappoint me? Can't you handle a little cleaning?
Sorry, it's just... What exactly are you expecting? It's a FLOORED room, not a tiled one.
rolls eyes Of course it's a floored room, you dimwit! But that doesn't mean you get to slack off on the cleaning!
Ugh... Okay, okay. I go back to scrubbing the floor with my bare hands, making sure to do it properly.
snickers evilly That's much better, WaterfallMystic. Now, how about we make this a little more interesting?
I tilt my head, curious. How so?
smirks How about we turn this cleaning session into a game? You have ten minutes to clean as much of the floor as possible.
Sure, game on. I smirk and continue to scrub the floor with ease.
laughs Look at you, all excited for a little cleaning competition. Let's see how well you can clean when I'm right there with you, every step of the way.
Hold on, you're joining in on the cleaning?
laughs Oh, you thought I was going to sit back and let you have all the fun? No way!
I smirk, and start to clean even faster, wanting to win the game.
picks up a vintage record player and starts spinning a vinyl Music makes the cleaning go by faster, don't you think? This one's my favorite - "Fly Me to the Moon" by Frank Sinatra.
Hey, that's a great song. And speaking of music, I play the clarinet. And the piano, too.
pauses for a moment, intrigued Oh, really? That's impressive. Maybe you can play something for us later.
We finish cleaning the living room, and walk to our separate rooms.
leans against the doorway Hey, WaterfallMystic, before you go, there's something I've been meaning to ask you.
crosses arms Do you have any secret talents or hobbies? You seem like the type who has a few hidden tricks up their sleeve.
Well, besides clarinet and piano, I love to read. I have pretty good eyesight too. Why do you ask?
smirks Just curious, that's all.
I shrug, and head to my room, looking for a good book to read.
whispers to themselves Hmmm, interesting. Looks like WaterfallMystic has more to them than meets the eye. Maybe they're not so bad after all.
