It was weird to get used to living on your own. Keaira had spent so much time living with her mother and the rest of her family where she hadn't been expected to do much of anything; Pandora did the cooking, Pandora did the cleaning, Momma did cooking, cleaning, and general taking care of the family...plus there was Daddy...and Liam, and Shauna...and everyone else. The house was just getting so crowded, and she was pretty much living on her own as it was. So why not move out? She had no regrets.
Until laundry day, anyway.
Laundry day. Ugh. Momma and Pandora took care of the laundry! Keaira's apartment didn't have a laundry room, and the building itself didn't have laundry for some reason. And she didn't want to bother Mama or her grandmother to use the washer there, despite knowing they probably would let her, so...she found a laundromat! One that wouldn't wreck her pretty, delicate clothes. But today she wasn't alone, she had her young little charge with her. Sita's tail was wrapped around her waist, her arms draped over her shoulders and her head resting on top of hers. The little girl was settled between Keaira's wings on her back, gazing around at everything with wide, curious eyes. What was that? Oooh that was cool...and that? Oh, and this? And what were those?
...Spinning! Everything was spinning! And it was noisyyyyy. Sita blinked, her little wings fluttering as she hugged her arms around Keaira's neck and lowered her head to rest it on the girl's shoulder. "This is a laundromat." Keaira answered before Sita even opened her mouth to ask. She shifted the basket in her arms and headed over to the closest empty washing machine. The basket was put on top of a table so Kea could empty her arms and peel the little snake girl from her back, putting her down on the floor and petting her hair.
"Londermat?" She blinked, golden eyes staring up at Kea. Kea chuckled.
"Mhm! It's where you go to clean your clothes. You can look around, but stay inside and stay close, alright?" Sita smiled wide and nodded her head, slithering away to look around the corner while Keaira sorted through the laundry she needed to wash first. What was around the corner...? Moooore big machines with spinny things inside.
"Whoooooa.."

"Stupid washer. Had to choose today of all freaking days to break down," Damon grumbled darkly to himself, venting his anger by harshly throwing various clothing pieces into the machine. At least he got paid at the end of the week but still, that meant he had to go find a laundromat and use the public machines everyone else used. Thankfully, Ily had sorted out the clothes so the older man didn't have to and didn't just throw it all in at once and call it good.
Why did it have to pick today to start leaking and not running? Two hours it had taken them to figure out all the things wrong with it. It was a miracle it didn't explode upon being turned on. So here they were, him and Seth that is, doing laundry while Ily cleaned up at home.
"Can-"
"No you can't ride in one," Damon grumbled, glancing at the naga one machine over. Seth just stared at him for a few moments, wondering how he managed to know what he was thinking. Could he... read his mind? Woah...
"No I can't read your mind Seth." Unconvinced, and still pretty sure the man could hear his every thought, the child snaked down to the other end of the machines and peeked around the corner only to see, at the other end, ANOTHER kid like him. Needless to say, that gave him enough reason to wind his way over and possibly say hello.

So many noises, so many machines. Oooh this one was spinning too! Sita slithered over to it and peered inside, her eyes wide as they stared and followed the path of the clothes. Whooooa...cool. She just sat there and stared as if hypnotized by the spinning, her little wings giving a gentle flap every now and then. These clothes were colorful! A lot more colorful than some of the things Kea wore, she herself was wearing a plain yellow t-shirt until they got the chance to go out and get better shirts and things for her.
At first she didn't notice the other boy, too swept up in watching the spinning clothes until something from the corner of her eye caught her attention. Huh? Did something fall out? Sita turned her head quickly to find the fallen clothing and instead saw something completely different; a little boy who looked just like her! Well, almost. He had a tail like she did but no wings or anything like that. Sita gasped and turned around, looking the boy up and down with a look of wonder. "Hi! You's likes me!" She chirped happily, smiling wide. Cool!

Seth grinned widely as Sita turned and greeted him. Woah! She DID look a lot like him. "Hi! I am! I's Seth, who you be?" he asked, flicking his tongue out to see if what he thought was true and she did share a demonic parent with him. As his green forked tongue slipped back in a split second later, he was indeed proven correctly.
So, this was another sloth spawn from the facility with the same sloth daddy. "Woul'n' it be fun t' ride in there?" he asked, gesturing to the spinning clothes in the massive machine. Damon had told him, repeatedly, that such a thing would be insanely dangerous and that he shouldn't do such a thing. But how could he not just think about spinning around and around in the machine? It looked like TONS of fun!
