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.

Winnifred Opal kind-of sorta wished she had more clothes. It would be nice to change more than once or something. Though at least she did have this nifty new jersey. That might help. Though she didn't exactly want to get it dirty.

Which was a shame, since she was on cleaning duty today. Dusting Duty, to be precise. Better than bathroom, as far as Winnifred Opal was concerned.

And she wasn't even alone today. They'd assigned her to be part of a team. So, Winnifred was there, waiting at the appointed hallway at the appointed time (okay she was a little early) for her teammate.

Even if it was considered a simple task, Dani didn't shirk her responsibilities. Cleanliness was important, especially regarding labs since it prevented contamination, and considering their current predicament, contamination was the last thing they wanted.
Dusting... might not have been the most thorough way of keeping things clean, but she supposed they had to start somewhere. She saw another girl off in th distance, and waved. Must have been her cleaning partner?

She raised a hand and waved.
"Hey! The name's Danielle. Dani for short."
As much as it would have been nice to chat, they had things to do. Things... which required proper instruments to perform an adequate job, but... she had none. And using her sleeves was unsanitary.
With much shame and embarrassment, Dani blew a bit of the dust, dislodging bits of it as residue flew up. This was so unprofessional and gross.

"Hi!" Winnifred was more than happy to greet the newcomer- her partner in cleaning duty. "Dani it is then. I'm Winnifred Opal. You can call me Winnifred or Opal or.. both." She grinned at the girl. "Well. I suppose we should get to cleaning."

She, of course, meant dusting.

It was then that Winnifred Opal realized no one had given them any tools for this. Not that one needed to spend money on fancy dusters, but they didn't even have an old towel. She didn't really like the idea of mussing up her clothes, either.

Which was why Dani's method receive a nod and a "Hm," of approval. The very same sort of Hm that students often received when they'd done something well or intriguing. It was a good thing. Save the the clothes and the hands.

So, that is what Winnifred Opal did. She took a deep breath, and blew it all out at the dust.

Dani tilted her head. Was Winnifred Opal her full name? It sounded... cute.
"I think I'll go with Opal." she smiled.
Introductions aside, it was time to get to cleaning, and Dani had inwardly hoped that Opal wasn't watching her primitive method of cleaning. This was so degrading. Why wasn't she prepared more?
While it went against her pride to ask the girl if she had brought or found proper cleaning supplies, doing a good job of cleaning was more important in this case.

Taking a deep breath, Dani turned... to see Opal doing the exact same thing, and was a little horrified that they were both on cleaning duty... with no proper cleaning supplies.
"I-I guess we both had the same idea, huh?"
This was so humiliating.

Danielle Yu was not someone who did things half-heartedly, and yet...
Perhaps she could chalk it up to the situation, but she didn't like making excuses. This was a blunder she would have to make sure she didn't repeat again.
She wasn't wholly satisfied with her job, but... it was the best she could do for now.

Winnifred Opal nodded. She really did answer to just about any form of her name.

The thing that didn't work was the method of cleaning. Just blowing the dust around was pretty useless. Though to be honest, Winnifred Opal didn't quite think dusting was of much use anyway. Too much dust all the time. She'd never been much of a duster. That was why people made covers for things, because dusting was useless. At least it was without proper tools.

"It had seemed like a good idea at the time!" She sighed. "Maybe next time they'll give us the proper tools. This is getting us no where fast."

The older lady looked at Dani. "Maybe we should call it a day? I don't know how much more we can do like this."

Part of her wondered if Opal was copying her, but... maybe this was just a coincidence? It was a naive and irresponsible way of thinking, and even if she were the younger one, she was ashamed to have set such an example.
"Perhaps... I regret not being more prepared for this. I promise you I am usually not this lax with cleaning duties, but... there really isn't much we can do without proper cleaning supplies, and compromising efficiency by using our clothes to clean... I cannot fathom such a thing."

Dani closed her eyes and sighed. A washcloth or even a feather duster would have been nice. She felt as if blowing the dust around only made things worse, and she probably got dust on herself too.
She subconsciously rubbed her sleeves and touched her face lightly, and immediately regretted it. She had just failed every sanitary preparation step she had learned in her labs.
Ugh, she wished she had gloves at the very least.

"I am sorry about all this."

Winnifred Opal shook her head. "It's not your fault. They sent us here unprepared. Look at all this dust," she waved a hand. "It's all over the floor and the windows, and way up there clinging to the ceiling. There is no way we could deal with that, let along all of this dust we can reach." She gave Dani a serious look. "Dust is a byproduct of everything on this earth, there is no getting rid of it. We can move it, yes, but again, only with the proper tools. Which we don't have. Because yes. I have no intention of getting these clothes any dirtier than they already are."

Her hands went to her hips. "Honestly. I hope they give the other cleaning crews proper tools. I can't imagine cleaning a bathroom with nothing. At least we didn't' have to do that." There was a bright side to everything, after all.
