The message starts with a sharp squeal of static, as if the COMP is a badly tuned radio or something, before it dies down a little and a cheerful voice starts babbling.

"Hiii~! So I was wondering something, and I thought I'd just throw it out on the network like this to get an answer and all."

There's the sound of fabric rustling, as if whoever's on the other side of the transmission is shifting nervously.

"So I noticed a bunch of people have, like, clean clothing, and I was just wondering what's up with that? I mean, how does it happen? My clothes are still covered in scorpion goo, and I don't have any spares or nothing, so it'd be super nice if someone could tell me how all you other folks are getting clean things."

There's a slight pause before the voice lowers to a whisper and hisses out,

"is it witchcraft?!"

With that, the message ends.

Shura grins right back. "Cool indeed! Now we wait for the machine to clean up your clothes. After that, we'll dry them. Then you'll be able to wear clean clothes!" Minato was not so bad, in the end.

[deathof4thwall]

He punches the air in sheer TRIUMPH.

"Woo!"

About half an hour later, the washing machine stopped, done washing the clothes.

"Okay, we can transfer the clothes into a dryer now," she told Minato.

[deathof4thwall]

Eyes shining brightly, he starts dumping clothing in the nearest dryer, humming under his breath as he does so.

"Does this one work the same way?"

[demifemme]

"Pretty much. You stick a dryer sheet in the machine," she got a small packet of 3 sheets from the dispenser and tore it open to hand over a sheet to Minato, "you insert coins in the handle, push it in and it will start drying your clothes!"
