Home Ec- Monday- 2nd period
Last night Brooke had sent out emails to the class to let them know to go to the Danger Shop, which meant she had to figure out how to use the Danger Shop, and now it looked like a laundry room. Mostly. It was a little glitchy, and sometimes things would disappear out of existence for a moment or two. Also there was laundry. So. Much. Laundry. Everywhere.
"Good morning! Today, we're doing laundry. Now, it's not that hard, and it's really just sort of boring," Brooke said, gesturing to the laundry baskets and mass of clothes set in front of her. "So the first important thing is, read your labels. I have a list you can grab that'll tell you what's what. There's a tag on the inside of your clothes that actually tells you exactly what to do, but the symbols look like they were like, I dunno, given to the Mayans by aliens and then translated via Rosetta stone, or whatever... That analogy got away from me. Anyway, they're dumb, and they also have written instructions. Some things you can wash, some you can't. Some things you can dry in a machine, some you can't. Some stuff you have dry cleaned, or have to handwash. If you screw this up, you might ruin the garment, and as someone who designs them for a living, that hurts my soul a little."
Brooke was dramatic. Also some of the laundry flickered away for a minute behind her.
"So you read the labels, you sort your clothes. Darks go together, whites go together, delicates get separated out- that means things like underwear. Towels and bedding- please tell me you're washing those- are also separate. If you don't have a lot of things to wash or whatever, you can put them all together, but use the settings for the most delicate items that you're washing. I've got a handout for that too, if you're nervous. Just make sure you don't like, throw a red sock in with all your light clothes and wash it in hot water because that's how you turn an entire load pink. Anyway, you throw some detergent in the machine, then put your clothes in," Brooke said, demonstrating with one of the washers, "and then you choose your settings, press play, and wait till it's done. Once it is, you take things out, figure out which clothes need to be dried flat or hung to dry and which can go in the machine. Because if you machine dry something that shouldn't be dried that way, you might end up with a sweater that can fit your dog.
"What you get to do is sort clothes and towels and stuff together, wash them, and then dry it. Easy enough, right?"

Then again, it involved water, and lots of it. So as useless as this skillset might be to a Zora like him, he still found it absolutely delightful.
Wash clothes!
