*feels vindicated*

I told you. I told you all. Tik-toks just waiting to cause trouble. You all thought I was mad doing my wash in the tub and now, see what's happened.

Never again is Dinah allowed to make light of my insistence that Merlin scrubs our clothes in the 'sink'. You can't trust anything that makes that much noise.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

That's the proper way to do it! Soap, a tub, a board, and a brush. And water, obviously.

...though why you can't do your own, I don't know.

[bitchprince]

You must be joking. I'm the prince, I've got more important duties. Such as making certain my father doesn't have entire villages executed because a child wandered off and looked at a sorcerer once.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Your father is a special special man.

Like what?

You wouldn't say looking after your appearance, making sure that things are done properly, isn't important to a prince? A man's clothes place him in the world and you'd leave that to someone else?

*sigh*

I really don't understand that.

[bitchprince]

You have absolutely no idea. Landing in jail gets a bit tiring with time.

You wouldn't. You look like you're too gawky to hold up a sword, let alone understand what it is to be a knight.

But no matter. At least we can agree on the 'modern appliances'. Ridiculous things.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

I've held a sword. And I'm stronger than I look. I just haven't had the advantage of anyone teaching me anything.

...there is that, though. I'd rather do things the long way and do them properly.

My mun has seen the series. And spends quite a lot of it facepalming at executive decisions.

[bitchprince]

My mun says just hum, it's Camelot in high school, dun dun dun!

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

My mun enjoys it immensely, but tends to think of it as Arthurian legends via Smallville.

Also, there's giggling.

[bitchprince]

My mun is deranged. She squeals every time I break what she terms the 'asshole-hero' continuum. Muns are special.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Yes, they are. ...she does recommend Sir Apropos of Nothing, however, if you'd like to see more asshole-hero continuum breakage. It says something unhealthy about her that it's one of her favorite book series.

[bitchprince]

It is noted and put on the list! However, now I'll cease breaking the mun-pup continuum with my filthy strikethroughs.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

*looks at the strikethroughs*

I could wash them up, if you like. I wouldn't mind. I have laundry to do *smug* today anyway!

[bitchprince]

No. Merlin would get lazy, and we can't have that.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Shut uuuuuuup.

THis is not normal! The sinks could have grabbed them too!

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Of course not! They're sinks. Sinks aren't tik toks.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Washing machines don't tick! Or tock. They just spin! And wash! ... okay, now they do more, but STILL.

Sinks could suck them down just as well!

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

They're mechanical! They do things that a person could do. That's... it's creepy.

And I've never had a problem with a sink.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

I've had problems with sinks. But only after I spilled things down them, okay.

But they don't think or walk or or or tick like a time bomb! I like clean clothes! Fast clean clothes! Fast clean soft shiny not-wet clothes!

...which are now missing, but that is not the point!

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

My clothes are clean, sofr and shiny and not wet.

If you really need someone to do your clothes, I'll do them. Just to do them properly.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

You're... offering to wash my clothes?

I am not sure how to take that. .. Thank you? Um. I can do them. Really. Especially the delicates, which forget I said that, but.

Okay, not saying I'm giving up on the machines, because I like them, but, hypothetically, how much would you charge?

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

...

I... wasn't going to charge?

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

I... what? I don't get it.

Oh! Unless this is just to prove how much better a sink and some Woolite is? Because I'm not budging on that. Even if you do 'em for free. Really.

... do you just like washing clothes?

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

I don't love doing housework or anything. I'm just very used to it.

And it's a matter of doing something the right way.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

What did machines ever do to you? C'mon! Okay. Aside from steal everyone's clothes this week.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

They're tiktoks! I'm no Unionist, but I don't truck much with pleasure pfaithism either!

And I've not dealt with many tik toks myself, but I've heard quite a lot of one killing a poor innocent Goat.
