I can figure out how to use those machines later… At least this one is easier to use.

[The communicator is on the floor, initially only showing what appears to be a bucket of soapy water with a washboard in it… But, then it’s adjusted slightly, and there’s Sukuyo, smiling. She keeps her attention on it as she starts washing clothes in the bucket, as if this is something she’s more than used to.]

Ah, I hope none of my new housemates mind, but I took the liberty of cleaning up a little! I mopped the floors, washed the windows, made the beds… [Yes, House 30, she went in everyone’s room. Everyone’s. And it’s obvious that she didn’t do just that, as she lifts up whatever she was cleaning on the washboard… and it’s underwear. Your underwear? Probably.] I’m doing the laundry, too! You can’t be a superhero without clean clothes!

If any other house is behind on their chores, I'd be more than willing to help out! This is what a housewife does!

[A soft, familiar gasp, and then...]

MOOOOOOOMMMA~!

[housenurse]

[She's already known that Mako was here, but to actually hear her voice... It's like a weight has been lifted off her shoulders.]

Mako! [Just throwing the laundry to the side for now. Being a mother comes first!] Where are you? Are you alright? Are you hungry?

[manbanchoku]

Don't worry, Mom! Your little girl is an actual, honest-to-goodness breadwinner! I'm at work!

[She is a barista under the most weak-willed manager in the world, but she's having fun with it and doing her best. And also taking home as many left-overs as she can, because that's the Mankanshoku way!

She fiddles (carefully) with her phone until it switches to video, and beams into the camera in her cute little visor and apron.]

See?

[housenurse]

Mako, I'm so proud of you! Someone in this family having an actual, legitimate job... I never thought I'd see the day! [Truly, the Mankanshoku family is going places in this universe! As opposed to going absolutely nowhere at all!]

I'll have to come visit you-- when I'm not at my own job, of course!

Mrs. Mankanshoku! [Whoa, wait, really?]

[Yes. Yes, okay wow. A bit- unexpected. With the sort of people being brought here from their world? He hardly expected her of all people. Nonon's attendance here is quite terrible, he might have to mention it if she ever does arrive.]

[Clears his throat.]

Mrs. Mankanshoku, have you arrived here safely? Is there anything that you need?

[housenurse]

[oh hey it's Mako's boyfriend! such a nice boy.]

Oh, no, I'm completely fine! I could use some cooking oil, though...

[bulwank]

[What. No.]

Cooking oil. [Nod.] What is your housing number, ma'am?

[housenurse]

[what yes is more like it.]

House 30!

[disrobes]

[Ah crap.

Satsuki blinks in something akin to surprise for a moment, before she speaks up politely-]

Makanshoku-san, I hope you don't think you should be taking care of people here so needlessly.

[housenurse]

It's not needless at all! And even if it were, I'd still want to do it! After all, it's my duty. [Being a housewife transcends universes.]

Besides, everyone could use a little care now and then, don't you think?

[disrobes]

Be that as it may, you should take care.

[She is Too Serious about this kind of thing.]

Someone might take advantage.

[housenurse]

I'll just have to take that chance!

[smile] Thank you for worrying, though, Satsuki-chan.

text : shortly after wally texted

[alofts]

Pardon me, but are you by any chance still at residence twenty-eight?

[ Guess who checked his phone at work and caught that ginger little shit trying to skimp on housework. ]

[housenurse]

[Ah, it's the roommate, she just knows it. She doesn't want to get him in trouble...]

yes i am

[alofts]

I'm sorry for any trouble this might have caused, but would you do me the favor of lighting up the kettle? I'd like to discuss compensation for your time over tea.

I'll be home shortly. Would you avoid telling Wally?

[ Levi was shockingly good at laying on the niceties when he was rip snorting pissed off. Fortunately, Sukuyo was not who he was angry with and clear out of the way of his oncoming warpath. ]

[sassguard]

[ yeah, hapless housemate here, and he has to squint at the screen a little to try to identify whether that's -- and yeah, those are totally his alliance-issue black boxers she's scrubbing to death. which he's pretty sure he left folded neatly on top of the rest of his clothes on his bed.

it's kind of impressive, honestly, though a little horrifying. ]

Do you normally go into people's rooms to take their underwear without permission?

[housenurse]

Yep!

[wash wash wash]

[sassguard]

And you don't think that's a little rude? At all?

[exsithstential]

U-uh... Thank you ma'am. But you needn't do anything on my account. Should I leave my door locked please do not worry about it.

[How did she even get in there in the first place?

A beat before his eyes go wide]

You... Didn't happen to find some... equipment under the bed... did you?

[Namely his mask and robes]

[housenurse]

[mom powers]

Are you sure? It's really no trouble!

... Oh, yes! I just moved them so I could vacuum under the bed. They were dusty! [she's seen weirder shit.]

[exsithstential]

Y-yes. They've been through quite a lot. But if you wouldn't mind just coming to me before you clean my room. I'm generally a very private man.
