[Sometime shortly before lunch, an explosion of suds and soapy water escapes the laundry room, leaking out into the hallway. The immediate cause may or may not be Mason, who stands ankle-deep in the flood, missing his shirt and watching in horrified fixation as his own clothes not only wash themselves, but overload all the machines.]
This was not my fault.
...Honestly!!
But I should really like someone corporeal to come do my washing so that this does not happen again.
If anything, it's the Barge's fault for making its machines so bloody complicated. Who the fuck has ghosts doing their fuckin' laundry?
[He sits down in the suds, watching the self-washing laundry in perplexed hopelessness. Might as well take a bath while he's at it]

Date: 2014-05-27 04:55 pm (UTC)Oh boy...
[Well, now he has to go see what's up. He pushes through the door to the laundry room and it is suddenly very apparent what's up.]
Mason?! What the hell man?!
[Why isn't he surprised? The guy is a walking disaster.]
What are you doing?!
[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-05-27 04:57 pm (UTC)Having a bath.
What's it look like, Johnny? Your washing machines are too complicated for the general public.
[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-05-27 05:30 pm (UTC)[Seriously, a ten year old could figure out these machines faster. It's not that complicated.]
And, last I checked, this is not the shower room. Just look at this mess. We gotta do something about this. Come on, get up and help me.
[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-05-27 05:32 pm (UTC)Can't we just leave it how it is? Walk out and pretend we never saw it?
[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-05-28 01:34 am (UTC)How did you do this in the first place?
[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-05-28 01:36 am (UTC)Here, how do you know it's my mess?
[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-05-29 05:19 am (UTC)So, you overloaded the washer? Why didn't you just stop the damn thing when it started leaking?
[He has to say, this amount of water is actually impressive...but, he's moving towards the machine now to take his own advice.]
[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-05-29 11:52 am (UTC)[Don't lean too close, John. A pair of soaking pants will leap out from the washer and wrap around your face]
[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-05-29 06:20 pm (UTC)Uh, Mason? Little help here?]
[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-05-30 11:27 am (UTC)Finally, he stands up to help the pants off John, after a good minute or so of laughing]
[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-06-02 11:58 pm (UTC)[This he says after being freed of the pants and taking a few gasping gulps of air. How horribly ironic it would have been, he reflects now that he's free, if he'd been drowned by a pair of Mason's wet pants.]
This is your mess, so how-come I'm the one getting attacked trying to clean it up?
[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-06-03 11:44 am (UTC)[He holds his pants out in his hands, before they lunge for him and go back into the washer]
See?
[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-06-04 06:05 pm (UTC)How the hell...? It's like they got a mind of their own.
[They couldn't right? That would be too much.]
[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-06-04 06:59 pm (UTC)[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-06-05 11:14 am (UTC)What triggered it? You have to have done or said something to set it off.
[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-06-05 11:20 am (UTC)An' then it did. I didn't know you did that sort of thing here.
[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-06-06 02:36 am (UTC)[Which, he's realizing, probably means there's nothing he can actually do to stop it. But, maybe Mason can?]
Maybe you can wish it to stop now. Try it!
[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-06-06 11:27 am (UTC)[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-06-06 11:29 am (UTC)[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-06-06 11:32 am (UTC)[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-06-10 12:11 am (UTC)[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-06-10 12:15 am (UTC)[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-06-13 03:00 am (UTC)[Another glance at the machine.]
Ah hell, I can last to the end of the damn flood, but I still ain't cleaning this up.
[He hefts his laundry basket back up then gives Mason another once over. They guy is sopping wet and soapy. It's not really his problem but...]
Mason, why don't you go take a real shower?
[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-06-13 11:08 am (UTC)Or, bath, as the case may be.
[Spaaaaam]
Date: 2014-06-16 10:03 pm (UTC)[He hurriedly adds:] Don't you dare do that here! That's why bathing is supposed to be private.
