Hello, I hope you are all doing well. My name is Hu Tao and I was curious.

Is there anyone here who might be interested in learning how to do a burial? Or perhaps might know a thing or two about it?

Please do let me know, I want to see how many people might help me restart my business! I promise that if you join, you'll be a discount on whatever coffin you choose!

[And there she goes.]

Assuming you don't do anything drastic, I'm fine with it. Just be careful, the clothes I wear can be rather fragile.

[rainswords]

Your clothes alone? You do realize I do have familiarity with some fabrics. But that's not what I meant. I was speaking of your undergarments. Do you want me to wash those as well?

[localweirdo]

Oh, I know. I just wanted to see if you'll treat them delicately.

Although, are you willing to do such a thing? Watching my undergarments and all.

[rainswords]

Rather than watch them, I'll go ahead and assume you are comfortable with me washing all articles of clothing. It'll be done by tonight. Perhaps this time I will endeavor to make true what I once said.

[localweirdo]

The thing is. Are you bold enough to take a picture of it?

[Pics or it didn't happen!!]

[rainswords]

Please don't solicit sordid me for sordid images.

[localweirdo]

It's worth a try.

But yes, I am comfortable with you cleaning my clothes. I'm so happy to know that I have someone who is willing to help me clean up.

[rainswords]

To think I am living with someone so deviant. Whatever shall I do?

Right, right. I'll have it all done by tonight. Anything else I can do for you, Lady Hu Tao?

( ooc: wow that last tag - so tagging at 6AM is a bad idea!!! )

[localweirdo]

Anything? Even cleaning the apartment?

[Was it wishful thinking??

ooc: Don't be like me and tag at 4am.]

[rainswords]

Didn't I do that recently?

[ Recently. Huh. Actually. Okay, maybe — hm — never mind. He has been trying to keep things tidy since he deep cleaned the flat for Hu Tao's birthday, but now that he has given it thought maybe it has been some time. Fine. He'll take care of it but it's not that bad! Again he just doesn't subscribe to societal expectations when it comes to organization!!!

The place is getting cleaned either way... ]

( ooc: okay. 3AM then, got it! )

[localweirdo]

Define recently.

[Not that she minds if she has to clean but it was such a pain to do! That said, she wasn't expecting much if he does agree!

ooc: Noooooo...!!]

[rainswords]

Sure. Just as soon as you clarify what you mean by clean.

[ It's already been decided, he would take care of it. He is just making himself a nuisance at the moment. Besides, he is getting the feeling that they both are at the same level of cleanliness. It's not like they leave garbage all over the place or trail crumbs after themselves throughout the flat. They just prioritize other things over cleaning, that's all. ]

( ooc: Okay, midnight then. )

[localweirdo]

Enough where we can walk and sit somewhere.

[Because knowing her, she may or may not have left a few things scattered around when she was too busy with her business. Although, it wasn't anything bad, she just wanted to know if there was a place she could sleep on tonight!

ooc: Your poor eyes!]

[rainswords]

While I am aware that I am not as tidy as most, things haven't gotten that bad. Unless you've been using the bed to store your belongings rather than

[ Okay. So maybe he had a glance towards the bed and since he relinquished it to his friend he hasn't touched it because... that would be kind of odd and improper. The usual. He does keep some sense of propriety between them even if he makes the odd comment now and then. ]

Oh.

Wow.

Worry not I'll be taking care of it.

[localweirdo]

You see what I mean? We definitely need to take care of it now or else, I'm afraid it might grow into an even bigger problem!

[If only he can see the overly dramatic sigh that was coming from her. What a shame that she barely has any time to clean up after herself with so many things happening at once!]

So much to do and so little time!

[rainswords]

Hu Tao. You do realize that this is even a little beyond my capacity to find acceptable?

Wait. Did you? Did you try to hide

Just so you are aware I pulled the quilt back. Back in Liyue, my room was in disarray but it was left up to me to provide its upkeep no matter how many servants, household staff, or maids my family hired. Because according to my older brother it is a reflection of my own capacity. Of course, that's rather silly. No person should be judged on a single aspect they may be lacking in. There may in talent hidden in other areas.

To keep it short. And I do apologize that this became long.

I'll be tidying up but to my capabilities. No more than that. I do ask, just take care of the items you do leave scattered. What I mean is. I find just about anything acceptable except snack wrappers.

[localweirdo]

I'm afraid that snack wrappers are the least of my worries. With so many things on my mind, it is the least of my problems. Although, I am surprised you managed to think that wrappers are so troublesome.

I thought all of my clothes scattered around would be your biggest issue. Guess I know what I might need to do the next time you clean up after me.

[She's joking. ...Or is she??]

[rainswords]

Worn clothes hardly present an issue when they can be easily retrieved and then placed in a hamper. Wrappers, however, invite unwanted guests into our residence. Besides, it almost implies carelessness. Hu Tao, think of the books.

I do suppose I can't complain. I haven't found trails of crumbs anywhere or much less any food stains within the pages of any of my novels. Now that would be something truly troublesome. Hm. I know you're speaking in jest, I am not. I do mean to make better strives towards cleanliness.

I am going to get to work now.

[localweirdo]

Oh fine, I'll be sure to keep my eyes on them in the future. Although, I can't promise that there might be one or two that lingers around.

However, that means I would need to make sure to keep my eyes open or any wrappers from you too. Be careful, the bugs might come for you instead!

[rainswords]

That won't be necessary. I am disorganized, not filthy. There is a difference, Hu Tao. Don't worry, don't worry. Why don't I get started here, if I don't set my phone down I may not ever get to wash your clothes.

[localweirdo]

Very well! Then I wish you the best of luck in cleaning.

May the organization ever be in your favor!

[rainswords]

It can't be that difficult. I've managed. I'll just have to focus.

[ Focus, right, and ignore his hobby for at least a couple of hours. Well, there is temptation everywhere within their living space but when it comes down to it if he puts his mind to something he is able to accomplish his goals. This will be horribly tedious but he does put his phone down. She won't hear from him as he does actually get to work. ]
