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.

Despite the possibility of smelling nearly as bad as the monsters lurking about waiting to rip you to shreds, Nate saw very little point to doing his laundry. It wasn’t as though he had thoughts of impressing anyone on his mind. The last thing he wanted to consider was attempting to woo someone whilst fighting for the future of humanity. Even so, it did allow him to feel a moment of normalcy. What was more bland and mundane than tending to one’s garments after all? At least in this moment he could focus on water temperature and soap measurements as opposed to the death and destruction that normally occupied his thoughts.

Regardless of whether or not laundry was a part of what a normal life used to consist of, Nate still failed at it. He had done his laundry hundreds of times at the Academy, but he still never quite got it right and as he poured too little soap in the tray he had flash backs of his previous failures. “C’mon..” He groaned, reaching for the bottle of bleach and accidently capsizing the thing. “Dammit!” He shouted as he watched half the bottle snake toward his clothing. At this rate having clean clothes wouldn’t be the problem, being able to wear them would.

With a sigh of finality he reached for the fabric softener and carefully read over the instructions before proceeding. With the utmost care he began to administer the liquid, beads of perspiration forming on his furrowed brow. Zombies or not, he would at least have wearable clothing. Going naked was simply not an option, even though he was quite proud of his physique.

Finally he drew the bottle away and started the load, feeling accomplished that he had at least not screwed up the last bit. Unfortunately, this task being nearly complete meant having to face the bleak reality right outside the door once again.
