Cleaning the Station [Open 2/3 Cleaning Event]

[Nisha]

Again Nisha had taken up her maid outfit and had headed out, she had heard that there would be some kind of try to clean up the pancreas station and maybe even remodel it if people could be found who could repair and recreate the tracks as well as all the other stuff, she had even heard of weird plans to build something and make it drive on the rails, a definitely weird plan alright, but if that was what would float their boat or train in this case, why not? In the meantime, Nisha had found that she had a hand... or rather tail for cleaning up, using her tails to clean was pretty easy and needed less effort than she had first thought, sure they could not move rubble, but even in their normal wagging motions, they could whirl up dust extremely well and get rid of webs and other kinds of small stuff. She would not put it somewhere where it would get really dirty, but if it was just that, they did their job well and with a few brushes over them usually became clean again. She even had fun doing so, maybe she should get a real sturdy brush sometimes. If she used brushes in inns and such, they usually took heavy damage to their durability due to the size and bushiness of the tails. How many? Three by now, the fourth was in the making, but still a bit off. Lately she had even ran around with all of them active to get a better feel for them all and try and control her three new limbs as well as her other four ones, it was a losing battle, but one she knew she would fight seriously since it was interesting. This feeling of tails and being able to control them even if it was miniscule. As she reached the saint pancras station, she saw several people already carrying off tents from the crafting guilds and marketplace that had been established here.

Apparently they were serious about cleaning this stuff up and maybe even get it back in use, which gave Nisha a little bit of hope that she would get away with the easy stuff. Sure, she wanted to do things, but if she could choose, she would rather do the easier stuff than the more difficult things. Walking up to who seemed to be the guy who was managing all this, she said: "Sup? Anything I can help with?" The guy she had spoken to was one of those big bulky ones, his smile spoke bounds and leaps for how good he thought he was himself as well as his pose as he hit Nisha on the shoulder as if they were best buddies or as if he was doing her some kind of favor with just being there. Nisha was also sure, everyone had told him they would turn up in butler uniforms, as everyone was dressed in either that or maid outfits like Nisha, but no. He just had to come in a shiny and polished set of armor in which Nisha could see her own face with her eyebrow raising as high as it could while she looked through the mirror at his arm on her shoulder, wondering if she shoudl draw her sword and stick it in to his arm. She did not have anything against people especially or people who needed contact, but some people just hit exactly that spot you hated or did exactly the wrong thing as naturally as breathing, as if they were born to just be a huge nuisance and make everyone hate them to death and beyond, even though she had to say that he had a weird aura that calmed her as well, which made her hesitate on what to do, maybe he was just a good guy who was a bit strange when it came to meeting people or too shy to speak up and was very quiet. She sighed and awkwardly smiled up at him trying to sidestep out of the hand, heavily resting on her shoulder, but no, it did not move. Instead it seemed like he took care to put in some more strength to keep her at arms length while slowly bowing down. Ever so slowly and grinning weirdly that Nisha felt a shower run down her spine, her ears twitching and Nisha feeling as if she would bite off his nose if he got even one inch closer, but he did not. He stopped just at the position where Nisha had set her maximum and said friendly with a booming voice, with a trained expertly disarming grin: "Don´t worry, we will find you a group to work with and you can go clean up with them. My name is Aragorn22, even though I shine as gold as I am good."

He laughed an annoying laugh and finally let go of her after leaning his whole body back again, Nisha was unsure if she should hate him for tainting that line from the lord of the rings or if she should give him some plus points for even knowing it. But she was not wondering about him not asking for her name, she was pretty sure that even if she had given it to him, he would have neither remembered for a second nor cared much for it. "We send people down in groups of three so that even if something happens people will be able to call for help. Not that anything should happen though, but if anything does, do not forget to call me and I will definitely come to save you." He laughed that annoying short laugh again and Nisha wondered if she should just head back, decided to tough it out though and see how other people would react to that guy, it could lead to an interesting little game, seeing as how he had that whole aura thing going, but at the same time was so damn unlikable. Apparently he was done talking to her and had decided to end the talk right there and then, standing there with his eyes on the horizon or nowhere especially, but not even noticing Nisha anymore, her eyebrow lowered again and she sighed. Walking out of his apparently non existant personal space and getting back to her own personal space as well as adding some distance, she made sure he was out of talking distance but still close enough so that she could observe his every move and every time he talked with someone who always looked somewhat sour after their talk was done. That way she could see how he acted toward people who would come to help as well and it sure seemed like he was on the prowl and ready to pounce on everyone. Talking to people who crossed the place as well as people in the distance with a holler to see if he could not rope some more people in. Well, as long as she would not be paired up with that guy, Nisha would be pretty happy about anyone. Actually, it would be even cooler if she met some useful people, like a mechanic or a housekeeper. That way they could do some real work down the tunnels and maybe even move more than just the rubble.

[Zria]

Once she had gotten word of a ‘cleaning event’, Nat (or should we say Zria) decided to join in on the fun. The ironic thing here was that there were uniforms being handed out; and seeing that most of the Adventurers participating in it were wearing some variation of the ‘maid’ outfit, she decided to find one that was her own size. Thankfully her own body frame was quite lean, and soon she had secured one of the outfits. She noticed that it was more on aesthetic outfitting, so she ducked behind a shady alleyway and flipped her Interface open. A few flicks and clicks later, a petite Adventurer dressed like a maid from a maid café stepped out of the dank area, adjusting the ruffly skirt as she did so. She’d also thought of picking up some ‘cleaning materials’ as they were called; but they were still stored somewhere in the infinite hammer space that was known as her inventory, so she didn’t see the need to take it out just yet, while she was looking around for someone to join with in this ‘beautification’ event that was going down in the server. I wonder where the other idiots are. I haven’t heard from them in a while. Damn it… she thought to herself as she let her eyes wander from passing player to passing Lander, hesitating on asking whether or not they knew of several people who traveled together. Besides, it’s impossible to die in this game… she thought to herself, having seen someone tumble out of the church looking all shaken up but still very much alive. She then began looking around when she was approached by another player; and by the way he had introduced himself, he was looking for people to join a certain group of ‘cleaners’ that were going to be sent down in groups of three. Might as well make the most of it… she thought as she was then directed to a fellow player who had fox ears and was also wearing a maid outfit just like hers, although she could see the swishing of a tail behind her. Okay, deep breaths. You can start a conversation. Go, she thought to herself, directing her footsteps over to where she stood, and then began flipping through her own inventory, finally dropping out the long broom that she’d picked up. Once she was close enough, she slung the broom over one of her shoulders like a staff, and then said towards the fox-tail’s direction, “You’re going for the cleaning event too?” she began, looking around at the gargantuan mess that they had to clear out. Why the Landers don’t do it themselves I will never know… she thought gruffly to herself as she then eased the conversation into the introductions part; “Call me Zria, it’s pronounced zhu-ria,” she continued, remembering to add the little pronunciation guide just in case she got tongue-tied!

[Nisha]

Nisha was just about to give up waiting and do something else when she saw someone approach her. Quite cute with that maid outfit, again Nisha wondered how she looked like to everyone else. Sure, she had gotten a nice glimpse in the armor of the guy who was still trying to recruit people into her team and everyone elses... It was weird, but there were at least three other people standing by themself who looked just like Nisha as if they were waiting forthe rest of the team. It was worrying to think that the big guy could maybe have forgotten them, or worse had a weird plan to make it look like he was surrounded by maids. Since the groups with guys were filled up and the ones with maids never went above one. Well, Nisha thought it interesting and decided not to interfere, since it seemed funnier that way. But now that she had found a team mate, she might as well go and start this thing up or nothing would ever really start. Well, that had it´s advantages too, but Nisha felt like it would end in disaster pretty soon, since the other maids that stood around alone were slowly but surely coming closer to each other. It was like in these weird blind dates with groups were the start is so friggin awkward that everyone is standing in their corners until they run into each other by 'accident' and start talking, ending in a good party for everyone. Well aside from the guy in the midst in this situation. He was just looking at himself in his armor again when Nisha heard the girl speak up. Zria, huh? Another interesting name on her list, Nisha thought as she listened with a smile. "Nice to meet you Zria, my name is Nisha. Oh, you have a broom already and an outfit, huh? So I guess you are all ready to go? I guess waiting for a third to join might take a while and we two should be doing well enough to get this started, right? But let´s wait a minute more, this is just getting interesting."

Saying so, she pointed at the guardian, who was now being complained at from every site and looked quite perplexed, as if he could not believe that anyone could question his authority, but there was also a slight sliver of fear in his eyes from all the girls barraging him with mean stares and questions. Having seen enough, Nisha turned back to Zria and grinned: "Well, that was that, let´s go." Nisha said and lead the way down into the station, which looked just like the real thing back in the real world. Tracks covered with dirt and rubble were being cleared by strong armed man sweating everywhere and Nisha did not feel like getting into their way of manliness. "Cute uniform Zria, wanna start with helping picking trash up or cleaning the waiting room? It´s not like we don´t have free choice of place where we can work." Nisha chuckled a little and looked around. The station was huge enough for all the teams to not get into each others way even if quite some pairs would work on the same station, it was just so huge and the crafting guilds having used it as a place to do their crafting had not helped to keep it clean. Scraps of wood, books, dirt, dust, liquids from potions and drinks, mud and other things needed for crafting were mixed in with the rubble and chaos all around. On the way down into the station, Nisha had picked up a shovel since Zria had already had a personal broom in her hand.

[Zria]

Secretly thankful that her companion had decided to end the potentially awkward silence between them, Zria then shuffled forward and gave the broom that she was carrying a spin; like it was just an oversized baton. “Trust me, it was not easy acquiring this maid outfit; everyone had already gotten the ones that fit my frame perfectly. This one I have is a bit tight around the shoulders, but it’s not going to be too much of a problem when we start the clean-up process,” she said with a grin on her face; and she then noticed as well that most of the male population had already been teaming up as well; whereas for the ladies it was a different story altogether. I can smell potentially awkward situations brewing… she thought to herself as she got the dust pan ready as well along with the broom, ready to be hefted in one hand if need be should they be heading out to another location in order to help with the clean-up. “Also, I agree with you. We can definitely get this done faster since it’s just you and me going over all the dirt we can manage to banish, right…” she continued, trying to throw a funny line in Nisha’s direction, but somehow it ended falling flat on its face instead. So much for the comedy routine… she thought to herself as she watched the last hubbub of activity before disappearing with her companion into the building that they were supposed to be cleaning. Seeing that her companion had picked up a shovel, she decided to make the most out of her broom and dust pan; and then looked at the floor. “Sad, degraded state this place ended up in…” she said a few moments later, running the bristles of the broom across the floor and seeing that there was quite a build-up of accumulated dust and filth. “This place doesn’t just need cleaning, it warrants a thorough scrub-down!” she continued, rolling up her sleeves and then spinning the broom a few times; before actually getting started and then sweeping the floor that was in the nearby vicinity. Might as well get a brush, some rags and a bucket of soapy water… but do they even have those available in here, particularly the soap? She thought to herself as she began sweeping around the general area with much gusto, wanting to get rid of all the dirt that had built up over time in the vicinity. That, and I don’t want to see giant dust bunnies hopping around because to be honest I am terrified of those huge clumps of dirt… she thought to herself, shuddering at the sudden grotesque mental image that appeared in her mind’s eye. A few moments later, her eyes felt watery, due to the misplaced dirt and grime that was now floating and flying around thanks to her pulling the broom around the area where she was sweeping. The dust pan already had accumulated quite the number of contents; and she needed a place to dump all of it, but where could she dispose all the muck? She then sighed, more to herself, as she continued sweeping around the general area in case she missed something. (541)

[Nisha]

Nisha had indeed chuckled a little at zria´s comment about banishing the dust, seeing that Nisha was indeed an exorcist it seemed weirdly fitting and appropriate. Not that Zria would know, but Nisha had indeed gotten a laugh out of it and wondered if she would add to it. Looking at her shovel, Nisha was uncertain what to do for a few seconds. There was just too much rubble all around and this little shovel would barely make a dent, but maybe if she just got rid of the smaller stuff? But that would not get them anywhere anytime soon. Actually, maybe there was something she could do instead. Most of the rubble was too big to be moved anyway, so if she just... But no, first she shoudl go and help clean up as much rubble as she could for zria to clean, since she was already industriously working on cleaning the area where she had started. Nisha sigehd and wondered if this would take all day again, last time she had gotten to clean with three people, two after one had to leave, they had been at it all day, well, they had gotten some nice stuff out of it as well, but it had been excruciatingly slow. No one Nisha knew was a housekeeper to begin with, so all cleaning they did went very slow and had to be done very carefully since the system was unforgiving when it came to these things. And dust had slowly risen up to be Nisha´s second feared thing. Sighing once more, Nisha picked up some rubble close to zria with her shovel and transported it on a heap that slowly rose with all the dirt and such put onto it. Taking a second to think, she had not thought about getting rid of it afterwards, Nisha walked over and got a cart, just to shovel the dirt and rubble again, now on the cart.

"Argh, cleaning, never liked it, even back in the real world. Your subclass is not by chance housekeeper or something like that? Maybe I could create a paper fan with scribe to get rid of some dust." Nisha laughed at the thought of her wielding a huge paper fan and blowing away the dust with it. Not that it could work, right? "And sorry to say so, but I was one of the first who got their maid outfit, I thought they looked all too cute though, so I nearly did not get one in my size as well, since I had trouble choosing." Nisha finished loading the rubble she had piled up on the cart and walked over to zria and picked up soem more with her shovel. Humming all the way a little cleaning hum. Not that it was a real song, just that had come to her mind as she had started this all. A light little tune that was easy on the nerves and took off a bit of the mundaneness of the cleaning, but by far no master piece a bard would design. "I think I saw a well somewhere around the entrance if you need water, also I think that your outfit looks cute, no matter if it may be a bit small." Nisha said and began to wonder about something else entirely. Something she would have to find out in a quiet minute and maybe while zria was occupied with something else to create a nice little disturbance. Grinning, she added some dirt to the rubble on the shovel and threw it on the cart.
