The BWE has a great many mysteries in its wild places. No one quite knows how it happens that peanut-butter mines exist, or that the land's tallest mountain is named 'Allen.'
One of its minor, though most vexing, mysteries, is that of the hallowed Laundromat of Vexation.
See? It even says vexation in its name. That's how vexing it is.
Only someone very stupid (Susanfookl) or diabolical and thumb-less (Coconut) would put a laundromat in the middle of a vast, muffiny forest that's populated only by mini-Wombleses and sentient apple strudel pastries. But this is the BWE, and there you are.
Thus, a rather vexed-looking and cape-less Overlordess sat on top of a purple drying machine, having already fed 314 tigoil into a washer. She watched its contents swirl, swaying hypnotically.
"I really hope that Draino and green umbrella juice come outta fabric," she said sadly.

The dryer below The Overlordess shook a bit, and muffled squeaks and Finnish curses came from it's depths.
This stands to reason that either the dryer was possessed by a Finnish speaking demon that escaped the Sofa, or Skiv was inside.
Sadly, it was the later, proved as she popped her head out of the door (after opening it, of course).
"Alo TEO, how hangs it? Do I smell..." She sniffed. "GUJs?"

"Aye." TEO nodded slowly. "Dark is the day, Skiv, when an allegedly supreme ruler must venture into the darkest depths of the Muffin Forest to wash her cloak, without which, I must add, she feels undressed-- anyway, dark days-- no, poot, said that already--"
TEO stared at the dingy white wall for a moment.
"Dark days yada yada when I can't force a minion to wash my cloak and stuff! That!"
She peered down into the dryer.
"What's down there, yo?"

Skiv shrugged.
"Dryer-y stuff. You know, lent, old fabric softeners, wet-bar, very very dry sock, lounge, you know, general goods."
Skiv popped out of the dryer and gazed around.
"So why're you here? You're not really the Laundry type, if you mind me saying so."

"I dunno. Bob the Great Kipper threw green umbrella juice at me when I went to ask him if he knew how much it would cost to send a letter to Brazil. He's been v'ry tetchy of late."
TEO shredded a dryer sheet.
"We could burn him as a witch!"

Skiv gasped, "Burn Bob the Great Kipper! Such talk! He can hear us, for he is Bob the Great Kipper, he knows all!!"
Her eyes darted left, her eyes darted right, her head spun in an Excorsist like way, out of confusion.
She prodded her head. "Stop that stop that. 'nyway. We could..."

"Yeah, he'd prolly rain fire and more Draino on us," TEO agreed. "Anyway... we could... I dunno."
Her eyes drifted to the 'Employees Only' door, and she twitched.
"Nggh. Self-control is so hard, Skivvish!"

Skiv glanced at the door.
"Self-control? Self control is nothing! You just stop thinking about whatever you're having to control'n stuff, it's really quite simple, just don't think about it, think about other stuff, shiny stuff, possums, purple capes, mauve mittens, the like, savvy?"
Skiv was saying allt his as she walked calmly to the door and opened it, stepping inside.
"Well stop thinking about it! You comin'?" She jerked a thumb at the door.

"I was thinking about carrots and masks and pigeons and ducks and teacups in rivers, thank you very much, and it was int'resting."
TEO huffed and slid from the top of the dryer.
"I can't feel adventure-y without my cape," she added, folding her arms.

"Well then get it!" Skiv bounded to the dryer, fished the cape out, and slung it around TEO's shoulders, in all it's soaking and sudsy glory.
"There! You look positivly dashing!"

"Eeew! It's wet and soapy and dripping on meeeeeee."
TEO shivered and flung the cloak into a dryer, which started to turn as she glared at it. Her eyes darting, she snatched up a towel with stars on it from someone's random laundry basket.
She tied it around her neck.
"There. Improv is the mark of somethingityness, y'know."

*From a corner, meekly* Um, TEO, you just took my towel....
*Jette sat there, in a really bad pair of pinstripe lounge pants and a horrible Royal blue T-Shirt that sported an illegible sentance about purple waffles of doom, just waiting for TEO or Skiv to notice him*

The infomus invisible laundry chute of the cute and fuzzy!! started to rumble. Out of it poped a large green tedy bear, some cute and frilly pink socks, and a slightly dusty Airs. Today she is sporting short dark purple mini skirt, four chunky black belts, and lavander tank top. She is also carrying a pair of knee high onix boots, and one fishnet legging.
After landing in a pile of cute and fuzzy things, Aris got shaikily to her feet.
"Whoa... 'ello all. I would have been participating, but I was stuck in the chute, which for some reason is full of OGT reveiw stuff."
"Bye the way, has anyone seen my other fishnet legging?"
Aris, as you can see, when she is not in thought, she has become acustomed to refering to people in the third person.

Skiv blinked, and tucked the fishnet farther into her bag, absently.
"We were just about to go through the forbidden door of dooooom!"
Her eyes darted.
"IE the door that you can't go in without working here."

TEO's eyes darted.
"It's mine now! Since I kinda rule this place, after all. As well as anyone can rule the Muffin Forest. So yeah. Which gives me excuses to steal cookies from people."
TEO ducked into a dryer, snatched out a box of Thin Mints, and began munching.
"But yeah! Let's try the employee door of death. And doom. Deamth? No, that's just stupid." She shrugged. "Maybe we'll find Narnia! Or a thrift store!"
