There was no escape in sight. As far as anyone could tell, they were all stuck here on this mysterious floating island for the time being, and they would have to make do with what they could find. You'd think they would be well off in an AWESOME MANSION, except that the mansion is... a little worse for wear. Okay, a LOT worse for wear. The place was a mess.

Flurrie would not stand for it.

A woman of her tastes and sensibilities would be all for living it up in a huge, fancy mansion, but certainly not one in this state. And so, she took some initiative. Early one morning, she found a megaphone and stood outside the front of the mansion, barking orders loudly to the other inhabitants.

"EVERYONE GET OUT HERE, PRONTO!!"

Once everybody was gathered (as gathered as they were able to at this time of day, anyway), she yelled a little less:

"All right, everyone! I think we've been lounging around long enough! This place is an absolute disaster, and I cannot abide it another minute. Today I proclaim that we're going to make this mansion spic and span! And we're not going to stop until it sparkles! Now who's with me~?"

[HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: Step 1: Pick a location. Step 2: CLEAN THAT SHIT. Step 3: Tag around and help clean the mansion YAAAY! OR, you can do none of the above and screw around the entire time! YAAAY?]

"You okay there, Blaze?"

Sonic honestly wasn't going to do a damn thing to clean up the mansion. He determined that this morning, when he spoke to Eggman, the man having been roped into menial housework in the name of love.

...So anyway, there he is now. Dusting the piano with a cloth.

"Yes, I'm fine," she said, hearing another TWANG and jumping a bit. "There are times when I hate 'cat-like reflexes'," she sighed ruefully. "I can't believe how run down this place is...

[mach_n_roll]

He reaches back surreptitiously and grasps her tail to smooths down the fuzz.

"Me neither."

Then he goes over to lift up the cello that had decided to take a noisy seat all on its own. He's trying to be quiet about it but there's still a few quiet protests from the fat, heavy, fragile instrument. Pluck, bling... dink...

"This place looks like it was abandoned a long time ago, but I dunno what could have caused them to just leave like that."

[vela_nova]

"A-ah, thank you," she said, blushing when she felt him stroke her tail.

She shook her head, trying to find the stands these instruments might all have sat on at one point, trying to breathe and calm herself from the noise. "Me neither," she said. "It's so odd... Did something happen here like the moon back at the academy? If so, it must have been a long time ago. I wonder if this is part of a cycle..."

[mach_n_roll]

"Wouldn't be the first time. Seriously, cycles of destruction happen so many times in our worlds that you could set your watches to them. But you know what? I haven't seen one I didn't break eventually."

CRASHBOOMH--

"AH, oh man, sorry! I thought I had a hold of this kettle-drum thing."

[vela_nova]

Blaze dropped the violin she had been holding, adding to the sound even as she clapped her hands over her ears. "ARGH!" she shouted. She took a few deep breaths to steady herself afterwards. "I should've picked somewhere else to work," she sighed.

This was probably dealing out an interesting cacophony just outside the door; random acts of violence to an orchestra interspersed with distressed cat noises. Sonic's own ears flatten from both sheepishness and the strain, and he picks up a blank music sheet.

Rip, crumple, crumple...

"Here, try these." He hands her the impromptu (and rather ironic) earplugs.

Blaze sighed, and gave him a weak smile in thanks. She took the crumpled papers from him and plugged them carefully into her ears, leaning over to give him a quick kiss. "You're very thoughtful," she told him, rubbing his arms.
