3. The Laundromat

After the embarrassing...incident with the snack counter, Shen Qingqiu had been most eager to get clean again. A laundromat was just what the doctor ordered, and they even had cute little complimentary bathrobes to protect his modesty while he waited! Which was good, because all he had were the clothes on his back, and apart from the yellow outer robe he'd borrowed from Gongyi Xiao his clothes were somewhat...shredded. The protagonist could pass for an angry cat when he was in a bad mood!

He gives the other man a bemused stare when he finds himself suddenly addressed. "No, but --" Of course his own machine would choose just that moment to end its cycle with a ding. Good dramatic timing there. Or so he thinks until he opens the door and pulls out a massive. Pink. Ball gown????

"What in the actual fuck?" he breathes, and turns to stare at the other man. "Where did my robes go?" he asks, not as if he really expects an answer but more in the spirit of utter bewilderment and slowly-building offense. Forget what he said earlier, this new world's System isn't polite at all! He can't go through the streets wearing this!
