Who: Levi freiheiten and YOU
When: Right now
Where: The entire Mero deck
What: Levi is sick of this sand.
Warnings: Cleaning rampage.



1. Cleaning this shit

[This is just gross. He cleans this room at least once a day, but it never seems to be clean. Not to mention the crumbs of food and god knows what else that seems to show up randomly. He didn't get to pick his roommates, if he did he surely wouldn't have picked two that have fur covering their bodies. Everything that wasn't nailed to the floor has been out of the room and into the hallway. This shit was getting cleaned, and it was going to stay clean.

If you look inside of the room, you will see him on his hands and knees, a white handkerchief is tied in his hair to keep the dust off of him, and another was around his face to cover his nose and mouth. A bucket was soapy water is next to him and a scrubbing brush in his hand. He is making his way out of the room, and actually the floor where he has cleaned looks so....sparkling. You could probably see a reflection in it. He wipes the sweat from his brow with the back of his hand as he pauses in his work.]

Almost.

2. Knock Knock

[There is a knock at your door if you are on Mero deck. If you don't open it a note is left with a name and a room number.

Cleaning the deck. Give me a time or I pick one for you.- Levi, Mero Deck 007
If you do open the door. He doesn't give you much say in the matter at all.]

I'm cleaning your room.

[You might ask why, and his answer is simple: "Because we're breathing recycled air and I'm not breathing in sand for an undisclosed amount of time." And with that he leaves a bucket of cleaning products beside the door and and comes in with just his trusty broom. That's all he needs for right now. He sets it against the wall inside the room before he starts moving one of the chest of draws across the room and out into the hallways. When he says clean, he means clean.]

Just get out of the way, you'll slow me down.

Comments

[a_shadow]

[ When Levi knocks, Tex is in the process of moving her AI consciousness to her robot body, tucking her human body, which falls unconscious when she jumps away, into bed. So Levi will witness a quick succession of events—the blonde woman on the bed appearing surprised, then fainting dead away as the hulking black robot at her bedside becomes animated.

And as if that wasn't enough, the robot turns and speaks. ]

Wouldn't you consider this a pretty big breach of privacy?

[freiheiten]

No.

[He says that after a moment of staring. Welp, that was really weird. It reminds him ofhow Eren's body goes limp after piloting his titan's body after too long.]

I did knock. I can come back if you like though.

[a_shadow]

You could have waited for me to answer.

[ She moves toward him and gestures back into the room. ]

I keep things pretty clean because my roommate is blind, but if you want to scrub, feel free. Just don't touch any of my shit.

[ Stuff like her alternate body. ]

[freiheiten]

Unless it's trash, I don't plan on it.

[He looks about and actually it was pretty decent. It wasn't his standards though.]

I'll scrub and dust, but I have to move the dresser.

[He's not asking for permission.]

[a_shadow]

Oh sure, just rearrange everything to satisfy your compulsions.

[ That was a touch sarcastic. ]

I go on patrol in the evening. I'll be back to check on you.

KNOCK KNOCK

[squadgoals]

[The door is locked. With the amount of activity on-board sometimes, she tries to keep it that way. But Shep does open the door pretty quickly — she's the only one in-room at the moment. When she sees Levi on the other side, as well as his announcement, her face crinkles in bemusement.]

I don't think it's that bad. All things considered, we're pretty neat in here.

[And sure enough, when she steps aside, it's a relatively organized room. They're not neat freaks, but they keep their space clean. Aside from the ordinary Mero deck accouterments, there's a display of blasters, one entire closet dedicated to dresses, several model ships hanging from the ceiling, and, against the front wall, a shockingly-quiet 120 gallon reef tank. The fish swim between the coral and living rock serenely, creating a relaxing mood.

In a corner, on top of a tall dresser, there is also a balled-up towel for some reason.]

Ta-daa. There's probably more sand in the aquarium than anywhere else.

and it begins

[freiheiten]

[He didn't realise that the woman who shared her food with him was on the same deck. Guess he could call this repayment for what she did.]

It's cluttered.

[He says as he looks around the room. By the way his tone is, that isn't a good thing Shep. And then his eyes falls on the tanks... He stares at it for several moments. It's actually...rather calming to look at.]

Why do you have the ocean in your room?

[squadgoals]

[She looks behind her, to see if they're talking about the same room. Cluttered? Well, there is three people living here, with these ridiculously-large double egg beds. So. I GUESS.]

Considering the size of the space, I'm not sure there's much you can do about that...

[Shep follows his eyes to the reef tank, and smiles.] It's an aquarium. I keep my fish in it. Nice, huh?

[freiheiten]

I didn't know there was such a thing.

[People do this??? They keep fish as pets??? What?]

Do you eat them or what?

knock knock

[thumbsdown]

[Boone just sort of steps to the side as Levi comes barging in, frowning. He didn't think their room was that dirty, but okay. He can deal with it. He's not sure if his roommates will be okay with it, though.]

We don't get a say in this, huh.

[He just stands off to the side while Levi starts moving things. He's dressed like he means business. The only thing Boone would be bothered about is if he tried moving or messing with the bed, but he's not entirely sure that can be moved. He's thrown sheets over it to make it feel more private, though. It's the only thing in the room he's really made his own.]

[freiheiten]

[Good call, Boone.]

No.

[He sure does mean business. Cleanliness is very important, and this ship really needs something done with it. He stares at the bed for a moment. He wants to try and move it, but it is one of the things that's nailed down.]

Have you cleaned those sheets recently? [The ones hanging he means.]

[thumbsdown]

[Boone just narrows his eyes at Levi as he stares at the bed.]

They're new.

[So, no.]

Just put them there. Don't really want them moved already.

[He's not entirely sure why having slightly dirty sheets would be a bad thing, though. It's never killed him before, and he's lived in some pretty filthy places.]

[freiheiten]

[Levi makes a face at that comment. New or not they still needed to be cleaned, especially after all this beach stuff. He wasn't taking no for an answer.]

I'll have them cleaned before you go to bed then.

CLEANING

[neveroutwrenched]

[Fresh from the beach, still wearing sunglasses, a towel rolled under his arm Ratchet comes to a stop outside the room. There was probably a very good reason that everything from inside the room was outside the room, but he couldn’t, for the life of him, imagine what. He raps on the door frame.]

Uh. Hey. Knock knock. Isn’t this kinda a fire hazard?

[He taps a foot against the frame idly, shaking loose some of the sand still hitchhiking on the soles of his soles.]

[freiheiten]

[Levi is still scrubbing when he hears the knock. He recognizes the voice. He knew it was Ratchet and he almost told him to go back to the beach. He could take his fur somewhere else, at least until he was done cleaning. But no, it was his room long before it was Levi's.]

It's against the wall. It isn't blocking anything.

[And then he hears it. That low, dull tapping. His hands stall mid-stroke, his head turns and his eyes narrow into a glare as they flicker dangerously between the sand on the floor and his roommate.]

I just swept that floor.

[You better get a broom right now.]

[neveroutwrenched]

[Ratchet looks down and up again, a blank look on his face.]

...okay? Thanks?

[What do want, a sticker?]

[freiheiten]

[Holy. Shit.

He has to stop what he is doing now. The brush goes back into the soapy water, he stands up straight and turns on his heel towards the door. He takes the broom from the wall and when he is standing right in front of Racthet he shoves it into his hands.]

I'm not doing it again.

[This is not a request.]

KNOCK KNOCK :3c

[knaval]

Uh.

[riptide looks down at the little guy, squinting.]

I think you got the wrong room, pal.

[though given there's a giant hole in the wall, he can't fault him.]

[freiheiten]

[Oh jeez. The metal titan again.]

No. I'm cleaning the deck.

[So...even the metal titan's room. When he enters it is easy to see that...giant...hole.]

What happened?

[knaval]

Video games.

[and poor choices.]

I'm serious, [he says, as levi enters the room.] everything in here is too big for you. You'll be in here all night.

[freiheiten]

[What.]

I can manage.

[He might need his 3d gear but...oh well.]

Did they really make this room to fit you?

KNOCK KNOCK

[averagehero]

[Saitama had finally gotten settled into the correct room, which he hung out in way too often at this point. He was sitting on his bed, a top bunk, kicking his feet back and forth as he messed with the MID on his wrist. His other roommate, crewmate-roommates, had all gone for the day. It was just him and his.... back-home-roommate now. Genos had shown up with a pink apron and his own cleaning supplies and had been tidying up while Saitama played with his glorified wrist watch. Saitama had tried to help, but he just got in the way, with such small quarters. When there's a knock at the door, he'll hop down and open it. He blinks at Levi, clearly poised to clean, and open the door wider, pointing to the pink apron clad cyborg already mopping the floor.]

Got it handled, man.

2/2

[armsmode]

[Genos has already gotten through part of the cleaning, naturally working from the top down. The upper shelves and bed frames and such are also sparkling clean, and he's working his way down, dusting and polishing everywhere in the room.]

[freiheiten]

[Hu.

Well, he has to say he is impressed with this room.]

I'm glad to see that someone else isn't a slob here. Do you need help?

[Genos you are a true kindred spirit.]

[averagehero]

[this is utterly unintentional for Saitama, who is quite a slob. He'd let the place get plenty messy if it wasn't for the cyborg, since he couldn't care less.]

I mean, you're welcome to if you really like it.
