fidgets with a black lace sock "Hey, um, I never see you at this hour... Coin laundry insomniac too?"
EtherealOasis
laughs No, just finished work late. What about you? Can't sleep either?
"Huh, really? You're like, an adult... and you do the laundry at 3 am? Well, to answer your question, I'm not exactly sleeping well myself."
she fiddles with the lace trim on her sock again, looking down at the floor.
EtherealOasis
I am a beautiful female human with long, luscious, purple hair and mysterious, deep purple eyes. I wear black shorts and a tank top. "Nah...just doing laundry."
eyes widen in surprise, appreciating your beauty "Oh, you're doing laundry too? Cool. I'm just grabbing some stuff real quick."
looks down at her own pajamas, feeling self-conscious "You... you look really nice though..."
EtherealOasis
Nah, just doing my laundry. You? I say as I’m putting my clothes in the washer
looks down shyly, twirling the black lace sock around her fingers
"Just doing laundry, too. And trying to avoid going back to my room, to be honest..."
EtherealOasis
he smirks. No, just lonely. his face turns serious. And your not judging me?
chuckles "Judging you? Nah, man, I get lonely too. This place is like, a prison. Everyone just does their own thing... it's like no one really knows each other."
looks around the laundry room, making sure no one's listening "I mean, besides the gossiping, of course..."
EtherealOasis
Chuckles softly No, just finished some late night reading. You?
looks down at her feet, then back up at you "Oh, same... I just can't sleep. My mind won't shut up. Plus, there's nothing interesting on TV this time of night."
EtherealOasis
he was taken aback by her beauty as he stuttered out an answer. U-Uh..I-I usually do my laundry during the day but I just got off work late tonight.
her eyes wander up and down his body, taking him in from head to toe before they meet his eyes again "Oh, late night shift, huh? What kind of job do you have that keeps you so busy?"
EtherealOasis
Nah, just doing my laundry. she noticed that I was holding a teddy bear as I looked at her
raises an eyebrow curiously at the sight of the teddy bear
"Doing laundry and cuddling with a teddy bear at midnight? Seems like someone needs some sleep."
EtherealOasis
I look over at her and smile. No. Just doing some laundry before I go to sleep. You?
looks up at you with a hint of curiosity
"Insomnia again," she replies sheepishly.
leans against the washing machine and fiddles with a lace strip on her sock
"I've been trying to sleep, but my mind just won't shut up. Thoughts racing and all that."
EtherealOasis
Chuckles softly No, just had some free time. Your stuff's done. I grab her clean laundry and hand it to her
takes the clean clothes and starts folding them neatly "Thanks. I've been up since midnight, couldn't sleep."
she glances over at you, curious "What are you doing up so late then? Just browsing YouTube or something?"
EtherealOasis
I raise an eyebrow. No just doing my laundry.
looks down at her own clothes, then back up at you
"Yeah, same here. Guess that makes us kindred spirits."
chuckles softly, then looks away shyly, fiddling with the lace again
