What: CLEAN ALL THE THINGS!!!
Where: ABSOLUTELY FREAKING EVERYWHERE
When: RIGHT NOW
Warnings: Chemical burns??? IDK


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?]

Chewbacca flipped a few pages in the notebook and started writing.

'I'm a Wookiee. We're not really common throughout the Outer Rim but I didn't expect that NO-ONE would know what I am. My language is called Shyriiwook and it's still a living language, so, it should be easier for you!'

He held the note out for Wave for a moment before amending it quickly.

'Also, my name is Chewbacca. Nice to meet you. I'm lucky to meet two other people who're technically minded, even if all this tech seems strange and archaic.'

And he meant it - between Ronnae and Wave, he was starting to have some hope for this place.

Ronnae shrugged, "Any help is welcomed, even if it is just to build things to help everyone." Even if she had offered a while back. Nodding at both, she grabbed a few more things that piqued her interest and added them to her pile before turning back to cleaning/scavenging.

"Well, there's plenty of things to grab and work with so I'm sure there'll be lots to do."

Wave eyeballed the note paper, and shook her head. "Don't be surprised," she told him. "You're talking about other dimensions as well as planets."

She gestured at Ronnae, "I don't know what the green girl can do, but I'll write up some translation software. I'll need some speech and text samples to use as a baseline, and then I can probably reuse a heuristic algorithm from the ancient Echidna module..."

She plucked the gem off of her necklace, flicking on a holographic screen, which she began to tap at and flick about, mind already on a task that clearly wasn't her actual cleaning job.

Chewbacca wrote again.

'Justletme know what you want me to say.'

While Wave worked on that, Chewbacca looked at the things Ronnae had collected, picking one up and turning it over in his hands. He set it down and wrote a note to Green Girl, as Wave had called her.(That would make him Beige Guy, probably. Or Mostly Beige Guy, anyway.)

'Have you seen any larger salvage around here? Something that can be retrofitted to help repair a personal combat vehicle? Spaceworthy stuff, I mean.'

Because a lot of this stuff wasn't going to cut it. He aimed the note at Wave, too, in case she knew of something.

Ronnae noted as she read it and shook her head. "Nothing large enough no. But there's plenty of scrap. I'd say with enough of it you can easily make any repairs you might need as long as the components are good. That's what I've been trying to do, separating them in specific piles."

She shrugged, she was mostly focused on the salavaging at the moment.

"A lot of useless scrap," Wave corrected. "Most of what's still here is just junk. If I ever meet the people who left all this stuff here without leaving anything really useful, I've got a few words for them myself."

She held the crystal up to Chewie. "Here's a list of standard words and phrases. Read them into the computer and I'll start building a baseline."
