Nevada had woke with a goal in her mind. For too long she had sat and adjusted her closest so that the blue stains from the monster wouldn't seep into anymore of her clothing, and every day that she walked by the ruined black dress and white coat was a reminder that she should really wash the s**t out that.
It was one of her fave dresses and coats. It was one of the few clothing stuff she had.
She would not let a monster take that from her.
So with a large oversized bucket from life, a bargained amount of soap and bleach from some hunters, 2 large scrubbing brushed and some rubber gloves, Nevada had taken her cleaning tools and damaged goods to a more secluded area of the Main HQ courtyard like area, stripped down to her underwear and went to work on getting what clothes she had hazardly ruined with the blue monster dye back to original and cleaner status.
She even hung a line from one window to another for clothes to dry.
Because obviously it was normal for a girl to wash clothes in her underwear and hang them outside. Yes.

She had sat for much longer than she'd meant to, staring at her clothes as the harsh reality dawned on her that... she had nothing 'nice' any longer. The typical clothing wear she liked to wear was still stained in that blue monster s**t. Which had come from a certain someone when he caught her. But then, like an idiot, she'd tossed it in with some of her other clothes. And the blue gunk had seeped into them while she'd been ill. Because of said blue gunk.
Fini sighed, rubbing at her face. She had so few clothes as it was, never really having cared much about her appearance. Until recently. But she had nothing.
Her coat would definitely have to be washed. If she could get the blue out of it. As for her other clothes... maybe they still had a chance? Chewing at the inside of her lip, she gloomily gathered all the items after some thought, and bundled them up in a bag. Either she was going to find some way to clean them.
Or get rid of them. And that thought just made her cringe.
So perhaps it was fate, or radical luck and coincidence that she happened to notice a strange sight. It wasn't even what the other female hunter was wearing (or lacking) that caught her attention as she wondered carefully among the still yet to be restored buildings. She was attacking a clothing item with a vengeance and there was a drying rack hung between some windows.
"Heeeey~" She called, going over to investigate. "Please tell me you found some magic solution to getting blue s**t out of your clothes?" There was a pitiful and hopeful look in her eyes as she came over to Nevada.

Nevada blinked as she looked up, catching the darker female hunter coming towards her and gave her a lazy smile.
"Not really, Just some regular old soap and bleach...." She pointed to the now bluish water, "the whites were easier, its the blacks and darks I'm worried about." Because they had a blue tinge to them and that was unacceptable.
"I've got an extra brush Gorgeous, and more than enough room if you want to join in some scrubbing." She made a small sound before looking down, "And if you also don't mind that I work scantily. Washing my only clothes here now..." Yes.
"I'm Nevada, of Mist hunters." She prompted, pulling out a very wet shirt and ringing it in the bucket.

Some of her hope plumetted and she gloomily looked down at the bag she carried. So no special formulas to instantly take the stains out? She sighed, rubbing at the back of her neck as she offered the other a smile. "I girl can always hope, right?" Fini said with a small chuckle, glancing at the water. "So soap and bleach does seem to be working?"
Hmm... Maybe she should give it a try? Hearing that there was an extra brush made the decision for her. Wait, had she just been called gorgeous?! Interestingggg~
"If you don't mind some extra company." She moved closer to set her bag down, digging out the worst garments from it. "Ah, no worries, doll. Ain't like neither of us has seen it before." She said with a sly smile. Plopping down beside her, Fini retrieved the second scrubbing brush and flashed Nevada a chipper smile.
"Fini of the Sunny's." She replied, dunking the white jacket that was the worst.

"A girl could always hope. You'd think with the Island and its advance technology and sciences, the least they could do is make a instant stain remover." She snorted, "And considering how many hunters return home with blood and what ever else god knows what, it be a little incentive...."
She blew out a breath....."But nooooooooooooooooooooooo, They gotta make us do it the hard way." She chuckled again, lessening her maniac scrubbing in favor of paying attention to her new company.
It would take a moment, but she also recognized the girl as the one Finn had been super friendly with. It was filed away, but not commented on. Though she had told Finn that she would make his life hell, it was only if he did something to Stormy or Herself. So far, the only exchange between them was words, gestures to annoy and one spar that she pushed the outcome away with.
"Gorgeous, I love company." Nevada waggled her brush at the sun huntress, giving her a lazy smirk. "I've been sitting here talking to myself....well Leroy my weapon, but mostly myself for a good while now." Her scrubbing seriously dulled down to one or two strokes as she watched the other girl, making a sound at the pitiful state of her clothes. "Wow, That..." She shook her head, "I was inside the monster and my clothes aren't that bad, who'd you hug and roll around with for that damage?" She joked.
"it's nice to meet you Fini!" her smile brightened even more at the mention of suns, "You work in the same division as my twin Alaska! I hope you guys treat each other well. Pretty women like you and my twin should stick together." It wasn't a comment that was sexiest, Nevada just referred to everyone as pretty, handsome or gorgeous.

"Seriously, ohmygod right? And the fact that they had to pick white as their main color for us? The easiest friggin color to stain?" Fini huffed out a breath. "They probably do have an instant stain remover that the boss men horde." She muttered, shaking her head. How nice was it to have a kindred soul- or someone with common sense!
Fini laughed. "I wouldn't be surprised if this is also one of their ways to make us suffer." She grinned, starting to scrub at the jacket. "Or someone just gets their kicks off watching all of us do our laundry the old fashion way."
Maybe it was a good thing she had no knowledge of the occurrences between Nevada and Finn. Which meant she wouldn't say anything stupid. But it wouldn't have surprised her to hear that Finn had probably done something to instigate it all. She was learning he and Jack were both infamous for this. Siiiigh.
"Glad to hear it!" She smiled in a more feline-like way. Okay so Nevada was a chick and calling her little pet names. But it made her feel giddy a little. Especially when she didn't think some found her attractive with all her scars. But Nevada... well, they had something in common. "Ha! Been there, done that. Pretty much what I was doing before I came out here. Vashi, my weapon, kept telling me it was just clothes!" She shook her head. "So like a man!" At the question as to how her clothes got in that state, Fini may have blushed just a tiny bit.
"Weeeeeeell... I didn't get swallowed, but my partner during that battle had been and caught me as I zip-lined back down from the titan." And sort of rolled a bit with him. That was close enough. "So wasn't even my fault!" The sunny whined. And scrubbed with a little more force.
"Alaska, you say? I don't think I've gotten to meet her yet! But I'm sure I'll know her when I see her." She winked at Nevada before giggling. "So very true. With some of the creatures that come lurking about." And male hunters. "So a mist hunter, huh? What do you enjoy the most?" Mists were jack of all trades, from what she understood. But some of them probably enjoyed one division or another a little more!

"AUGH Right?" Nevada agreed completely, wouldn't black be the logical choice? Then they could sneak around the goddamn place without being caught by their oversized giant white coats. "And it's the most noticable. For a military group that is suppose to work under the wraps, we make it easy to spot us." She laughed. "There's one...Caelius? He's the one with the pretty hair, he might have it. He is also like that scary a** dragon....at the end of the fight. Eats you up in one bite." She bit her teeth, making a snap sound.
"Suffering...." Nevada pulled her shirt up and looked at the blue tinted fabric. It was too late to save this one. In the pajama pile it went. "I would see that as a viable reason. If everything is going back to the times before electricity, then we'll be doing alot more than old fashioned clothes washing." Nevada huffed.
She moved closer to Fini, until she was practically sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl and pointing at the clothes. "Those are adorable and even I wouldn't them to be ruined Cutie." She wished she could wink, but instead sent a very lazy smirk at Fini.
"Oh? Who was your partner in crime then? I was lucky enough to get swallowed and spit up. I hope it's cause I was too sweet for its taste." She joked.
her eye widened at the question of her job, distracting her completely.
"I like the paperwork. Not much of a hardworker. I'm more of the lazy, loves to sleep kind of girl. Which reminds me, I love nap partners too. Maybe after washing I can steal you for a nap cuddling session?" She blinked innocently, "all this washing and scrubbing is bound to make us tired, and its so much better to leech heat off people." which probably wouldn't be a problem for Fini. She was a sun hunter. A hot one.
get it.
Okay.

Fini held up the mostly white jacket, though she was starting to feel it was turning into a very icy blue. Ughhh! "No s**t. I think they do it just so more of us get killed and all the new recruits can step up." She paused. "Or they don't want to pay us. Or a million things I could think of!" Sighing, she went back to vigorously scrubbing her jacket. And visibly cringed hearing Caelius' name. "Would not surprise me if that p***k had it." She muttered, recalling a few things Gale had told her about his division lead.
"I agree. In which case, guess we'd just better get used to all this." A dramatic sigh. "You and I may just end up being laundry buddies!" She giggled, not having noticed (or seemed to mind) that Nevada had inched closer until they were brushing shoulders. "We'll just have to come out here, scantily clad, and talk about how horrible it is being stuck with such a bunch of cavemen!"
The thought of Caelius being a 'caveman' had her really laughing. Which turned into a grim look. "I hope I can salvage them. I really really like this outfit."
Her partner? Oh! Yes. "That would have been Finn. Moon division. He ruined my clothes!" She gave a pout, moving to hang the jacket up. It was as good as it was going to get. Of course this successfully dripped blue dyed gunk onto her current clothes. Which had already acquired some ugly spots of blue when she'd bagged everything up. Heaving a sigh of defeat, Fini carefully stripped down to the bare essentials. "Annnnd there is another shirt that may be a lost cause." She really didn't think Nevada would mind if she joined her in the 'scantily clad' category.
Grabbing the next clothing item, Fini paused to give Nevada a curious look that turned into a wicked one. "Welll, I have to admit I kind of like the excitement of being out on the front lines. But naps are totally awesome too. And a nap just might sound really nice after this... " That was kind of a yes, right? Totally a yes.

"Oh man, Don't say that." She reached over, pinching Fini like they were old friends are something. "I don't like to think I am easily replaced..." Even though it rang with her comments over Finn. s**t, She really let herself go on him. Even though he was an a**...."Thank god, another one who see's the light." Nevada cheekily grinned. "He's not my least favorite though. You're leader is just a tad bit on the...eccentric side."
She blinked and smiled again, "I love Laundry buddies, it's how I met my best friend Stormy." The memory hung there at her reach..."but I don't remember all of it...huh." She shook her head as if to clear her head.
"Finn eh?" She made a scoff sound before thinking batter. She had told Finn she would take away all that he gained from the Island....But only if he did something to Stormy. As such, it was better to play him up in case it did. "Finn's an a*****e with a weird charm to him..." She shrugged, "I live right across from him. I'm also jealous that he remains to look perfectly handsome regardless of the situation."
Okay that was done.
Her gaze widened as Fini stripped down and then laughed again. "A girl as bold as I!" She wasn't shy though and as such totally checked Fini out. "You have the prettiest skin color....It's like a dark creamy." She reached over to brush Fini's shoulder as if proving a point.
"Nap it is, as thanks for sitting with me and keeping me company admist the scrubbing."

Fini just sighed. Heavily and a bit embarrassed. "Yeah... Allan is... something." She really couldn't think of any other way to put it. Nevada's word choice was pretty good. "I'm pretty sure that it's a general requirement for division leads to be... well, like all of ours." Crazy. Egotistical. Yes, eccentric. The list could go on.
Stormy. Gale's friend. Or rather girlfriend. She still hadn't met the girl yet. "Hey, sometimes that's the best way to meet people!" Fini said, flashing Nevada a grin. "I mean, when you do laundry you find yourself so bored you'll talk about anything and then tada! New besties." She giggled, bumping Nevada with her elbow. And then she really was laughing. "He's an asshat alright." That she completely agreed on. As for the charm... yeah. She was all too aware he had that too. "You do?" Interesting~ And could come in handy. "Ohgod I know, right?! Look at my clothes! Yet that little s**t still looked as handsome as ever, even with blue crap all over."
Maybe she should make him clean her clothes. Except that sounded dangerous. Alright scratch that, he could buy her new clothes.
Fini glanced at Nevada with a feline-like look, striking a pose for the other woman before siting back down with her. "Bold is a term I've heard a few times about me~" She said dryly. "And thank you! Though I don't know if it's all genes or the time spent in the sun." She had a feeling it wasn't the sun, but since she barely remembered her parents she chose to not dwell on it. "Damn, girl! You're white!" She giggled. Again.
"Deal! And no problem. I'm just glad someone is just as determined as I am to clean this blue gunk off." Stupid titan monster.

"Don't worry, I'm sure the sun division is all full of characters to help balance him out...." She laughed and nodded, "I actually think out of all the leaders...Aria and Edith seemed the most level headed. Aria is very serious though. Very serious." And it seemed Aria had a thing that mist were better, especially female mist hunters.
"True facts." Nevada pointed at Fini, "I mean look at us now. Laundry with two pretty girls talking about anything and everything." She loved the word choice as well for Finn. Asshat. That was a good one. She'd keep that one. "Yes so whenever you want to sneak over, you can come visit me and Stormy." Part of her felt a little disturbed that Fini would come to visit them just for Finn but the other part was more girlfriends, who gives a ******** talk of Finn being handsome was also making Nevada a little bit ill. He was handsome, but she didn't like his attitude what so ever sooooo major turn OFF. Thank god. "Did you live somewhere with a lot of sun? I'm from Maine, small little suburb family." Nevada reached over to brush some of Fini's hair over her shoulder. "White is a curse of us northers, we get a lot of not sun haha." She chuckled a little, bumping shoulders against Fini's and pulling out a washed shirt.
Just a couple more....She'd do it slowly to keep learning about Fini after all.
"You know, back to the whole white thing. Who the hell chose white jackets again." She shook her head. "So Fini, How long have you been on the Island?"

"So true." Fini had to giggle at that. Because yes, it was true. And then they had their sunnies that were Allan juniors. At least Allan was fun! And interesting. Not... well Caelius. That man scared her. She was so glad she wasn't in death division. As for the leaders in general... "I think... " Fini said slowly, considering the two. "I might be able to agree with you there. I don't know Edith quite as well, but Aria always struck me as a very level headed woman."
She glanced between them, bright grin plastered on her face. They really were quite the pair currently, weren't they? Just chillin out there in nothing but their undergarments, doing laundry, while gossiping. Totally gossiping. Because she never got any other chance to do so. "We are a pretty awesome pair." Fini pointed out in addition to what Nevada said. But the real prize was being invited to come hang with her and Stormy! "Really?" She asked, flashing Nevada an excited grin. "I'd... really like to do that sometime." The thought of going over there just for Finn never even crossed her mind. And for the time being, he was shoved to the back of her mind for girl times.
"Mmm yeah I guess you could say that." Fini looked at the complexion difference between then with a snicker. "I don't know where I was born, but I lived in California for most of my life. In San Francisco. So yeah, I got a lot of sun." She checked the shirt she was washing, figuring it was good enough and setting it aside to move on to the next one. "I'd probably be just as light as you if I'd not had an addiction for the sun. And the beach." She added with a sly grin.
"I don't know, but I want to find out and dye all their crap obnoxious glowing blue." And then there was that question. Fini tried not to wince or show anything other than a simple yet sheepish shrug. "I've been here... for a while." She admitted, not daring to say that it had been a year or more now. And she'd not moved beyond trainee status. But she'd helped others do so.

"Really? Hunny, you can come over anytime! Our room is 177, just in case you think it might be any of the other rooms in that area." She waved her hand, "Stormy and I are trying to amass a pile of girlfriends so that one day we can have some fun girl times. Just you know...come together...do girl things..." She blushed, "Paint nails, pillow fights, talk about boys....I feel like with the job, it's starting to get really hard to tell if I am a girl or just a body out there."
"California?" Nevada's eyes widened immensely, especially since the girl was on the farthest of the coast from where Nevada grew up. Literally, if you compared them on a map, she was tucked in the farthest north east state + city. Meanwhile, Fini was on the otherside of the US of A, on the most south west part of the country. It always amazed her where people came from here.
"I've got a fondness for Beaches...." Nevada sighed, thinking of her one time trip with Tuck to Hawaii....Yeah fondness for beaches...."But it also gives me a reason to literally walk around with nothing on and bathe in sunlight. I would do that here but...Kaijuu's...." They ruined life.
"Awhile can mean anything hun." She elbowed playfully, "I've been here almost a year now, and I'm still stuck at being a trainee (even if intermediate) and not a hunter. One day though...One daaaaaaaaay far in the future..." She brought her hand up lazily and waved in the air like a arch. "Tell me more about California? I can tell you anything you like about Maine if you want...we aren't as exciting?"

Room 177? Fini couldn't help but laugh at this. That was right by Finn's room! Well at least she wouldn't ******** forget the number! "Seriously? Aw awesome! You can totally count on me coming by then." The idea of having some girlfriends to hang with was... a little more exciting than she wanted to really admit. Since she'd never really had many girlfriends. "Girl things sound... really nice, I ain't gonna lie." She admitted, understanding completely what Nevada meant.
"Yes ma'am." She said with a faint flush to her cheeks at the way Nevada's eyes widened. It was only Cali! Nothing too astonishing, right? Though it was really cool meeting someone from Maine. Waaay on the other side of the US of A.
"Mmm... so do I." Fini loved the beach. Missed it and occasionally craved the warm sun beating down on her skin with cool, wet sand under your feet. She sighed in a similar fashion to Nevada, remembering the beaches back home. "I totally did do that." She said with a grin and a wink before her nose wrinkled in distaste. "Ugh, yes. Kaijuu's." No way in hell she was walking around in almost nothing just to get jumped by one of those.
Sighing, and running the back of her hand against her brow, Fini let the current clothing item she was working on soak while she gave Nevada a half smile. "I've been here almost two years, now, I think. And still stuck as only a trainee." Yes. One daaaaaaay. Smirking, she resumed her washing while considering what to tell Nevada about California. "Well, speaking of walking around clad in almost nothing... you'll find a lot of that along the beaches. The weather is always nice during the day for that. Umm... it's also a big state." Fini pursed her lips. "What about Maine?" She asked, tilting her head a little towards Nevada.
