Freshmen Quest: Cleaning Day

Well it seems like you were the lucky person who was elected to do cleaning duty! Fear not though, because there are other people likely doing the same job as you elsewhere in different rooms. Living in the university is great being as the dorms are home base, so more room... but also means more to clean. Keeping things tidy and clean is not only safer but healthier in the long run!


Roll 1d4 and RP matching your number with that activity below.

Rolled a 1

Seems you were suckered into bathroom cleaning duty.

How messy was it? Roll 1d4 and RP your response!

1- Oh man did a nuclear bomb go off in here?
2- Someone seems to be cleaning up after themselves, shouldn't require much effort.
3- Was that a spider i just saw???? Gross!
4- Seems lived in, but still moderately nasty.


How well did you do cleaning wise? Roll 1d4 and RP your response!

1- Too gross, i did a quick job and got out of there.
2- I did the best i could, but i refuse to clean the floors.... or walls.
3- I took out the trash, good enough right?
4- You could eat off my floors and need sunglasses to even see inside how perfectly clean it now is.



Rolled a 2
You were placed into the dusting team!

What do you use to dust with? Roll 1d4 and RP your response!

1- Oh gosh i actually found a real feather duster! Neat!
2- A washcloth.
3- Uh my sleeve, duh.
4- I just blow air on it, that removes dust right?

How well did you do cleaning wise? Roll 1d4 and RP your response!

1- Too gross, i did a quick job and got out of there.
2- I did the best i could, but not really a great job.
3- I cleaned the counters!
4- Dust allergy people need not be aware! I am the bane of all dust mites, theres not a single spek left!



Rolled a 3
You were put in charge of the floors.

Which floor type do you clean? Roll 1d4 and RP your response!

1- Carpets, We found a working vacuum!
2- Carpets, We have one of those powerless roller vacuums... it doesnt work really well.
3- Hardwood floors, we found a mop!
4- Hardwood floors, if i sit down and scoot around a little does that count as cleaning?

How well did you do cleaning wise? Roll 1d4 and RP your response!

1- Too gross, i did a quick job and got out of there.
2- I did the best i could, but not really a great job.
3- I cleaned all i could see! But i didn't go under objects like tables...
4- You could eat off my floors, i did an AMAZING job.



Rolled a 4
You will be spending your day today washing clothing!

How did you wash the clothing? Roll 1d4 and RP your response!

1- The washer and Dryer are working today, of course i'd just use those.
2- A bucket of water, a brush, and things air dry. Why waste electricity?
3- I just dropped them into the sink and filled it up. Someone else will take care of the drying right?
4- Used the washer but allowed things to air dry.

How well did you do cleaning wise? Roll 1d4 and RP your response!

1- Nasty blood and other stains everywhere, i did a quick job and got out of there.
2- I did the best i could, but not really a great job. There are still some curious stains...
3- Cleaned as good as to be expected, but some clothing was eaten or lost...
4- I bleached the hell out of everything, no stains on MY clothing.

It was a busy day and he hadn't managed to find anyone to come with him to clean, but between exhausting himself in the sun and walking across campus over and over, he needed the privacy no other placed provided him. It was nice to think of just being home again, in his kitchen with hot tea and alka-seltzer with the paper and grade papers. Sometimes he liked to close the door to his dorm when his roommate wasn't around, close his eyes, and try to displace himself from everything.

Today, he decided some slow cleaning alone would do him some good to take things as slowly as he could and to leave himself to himself. Just him, hsi thoughts, and his space.

The duty roster had him placed in the laundry room. It was a necessity to keep those here living in close quarters from still feeling human, improving health, morale, and generally making everyone able to sleep without smelling everyone since everyone lined in close quarters. You didn't want to feel and smell dead, right?

The washes came in large loads, a lot of old jerseys, pants, clothes, and torn or recently hemmed shirts. A lot of tank tops that became shorter and shorter, more thin, more frayed with each wash. Then there were the - unmentionables. Things that were even thinner, even smaller, and - lacey.

Walking in, he looked about to see what equipment was available as other students moved laundry carts around or talked in the corner where the folding and sorting tables were located.

He placed a bag of laundry into a cart and started the slow march down the aisles. Full. Full. Broken. He checked another and found the wash was done but needed unloaded. He opened another and it was filled with stagnant water. The mechanic should probably have a desk here and just never leave with how often they broke. The washers were either full, broken, or in the process of being used. He made the rounds three times in hopes something would free up for him to use, but he soon realized he came at a busy time, and walked to the back room where the sinks were.

Frowning, he looked around before looking at the sink. They were used for delicate clothing, but he didn't see why he couldn't use it for normal clothing in this circumstance. Reaching over, he pushed the stopper and filled the sink with hot water, watching it pour in but knowing not to fill it up too much. Water was precious after all.

Despite having just a little bit of detergent, a sink was still a sink and he was no washing machine. Letting it soak, he then put the fabric between both hands and rubbed them together, but even after a while his hands ached and his fingers felt raw in the water. The skin on the back of his hands was turning red, and the hot water started to cool.

Done, he put on cool water and rinse each article, twisting it as best as his limited strength let him, and then hanged the soaping clothes up. It was the best he could do and he could still see what he hoped were just food stained on the clothes, but at least they got a decent rinsing.

He put the cart back and left, returning later to fold the wrinkled mess into something that didn't look as impressive as the rest of the clothes.

There was a reason he had a washing machine back home.
