Laundry Day:
Need to keep clothes clean especially with all the blood and other bodily fluids. Hygiene is important. We want to reduce the risk of infections for any injuries we have, right?

You only need to do one laundry load.

Roll 3d4. Look at the results for each die and add it up for your final score. This score will determine how well you've done with the task. You also must write a minimum of 300 words for this quest to be considered finished. Your reward? Come clean clothes and bars.

Dice 1 - Amount of detergent
1. You threw in half the bottle. More means cleaner right? +1
2. A little too much detergent was used. +2
3. Not quite enough detergent was used. +2
4. Just the right amount for your load size. +3

Dice 2 - Amount of bleach
1. HALF THE BOTTLE. IN NOW. +1
2. A few drops should do, right? +2
3. Some extra was spilled into the load. +2
4. Half a cup. Just perfect. +3

Dice 3 - Amount of fabric softener
1. Time to make this the softest thing ever. Use half the bottle. +1
2. Just a little bit should work, right? +2
3. Full cup of the stuff! +2
4. You followed the instructions and put in the right amount. +3

Results:
8-9 points = Nice clean load of laundry! Fresher than pine. You earn 2 bars for this perfect load!
5-7 points = You did a decent job of it. You earn 1 bar for the task.
3-4 points = Using that much of the chemicals has caused the laundry machine to overflow with soap and bubbles. The good news is the stuff is now cleaned. The bad news is now you have to mop up the place. You do receive 1 bar for your efforts.

Max liked the laundry room. Small time career criminals didn't generally gravitate toward chores, which usually meant he was alone in here, just him and the rhythmic thrum of the washers beating his clothes clean. His and other people's. The former driver of the prison transport van had managed to successfully increase his cachet around this place by doing other people's laundry. It was a career switch he never would have anticipated.

Even so, it wasn't hard to believe his ploy had worked. Although there was precious little to do around here, people always seemed to be doing something anyway. Fighting, working out, going slowly insane, none of those activities left much time for—

He sighed, peering into the churning washing machine. That was definitely too much detergent. And just when he thought he was getting good at this. Well, what was done was done. It wasn't as bad as it could have been. Max stared at the turbulent water, focusing on it as if he needed a powerful level of concentration to get things right. In truth, he just needed to be paying attention. He measured and added the bleach slowly, nodding in approval when it was done. That was more like it.

Though he'd never much liked fabric softener, he threw a little in anyway. Not all of this load was his, and it seemed the rest of the continent loved the stuff.

With his preparations complete, Max took a seat on the next washer over, propping open one of the most prevalent books in this place: the bible. Just as he hadn't done much laundry prior to the end of the world, he also hadn't been very religious. As far as stories went, however, this one was pretty good. It even had some pretty good lessons on surviving the apocalypse.

Points: 7
