[ it's late monday and thebe is just finishing up with her work, so she can be found with her hair up in a high bun and freshly cleaned! she's holding a bundle of oil-stained clothing, though it seems what she's wearing now is drenched in some familiar rusty grease that's been crawling all over others, specifically down her back and climbing along her ribs.
she'll find baiken on her way down the hall, maybe to the bar again bc where else would she be going after a long hard day? a cigarette is sticking out of her mouth, already lit. ]
[ yeah. this is exactly why she wanted to find her - monday just ended up being way more than she bargained for, what with the almost dolphin murder and depression curse and the rust bleeding.
she approaches with some urgency, but still that familiar swagger. ]
Just as expected.
[ she knows better than to touch, so she does not. for all her rowdiness, baiken's face really is the worst off, though her kimono sleeve is starting to get grungy. ]
Hah. What can I say? A long day of work deserves a drink.
[ just falling into step with her, tucking the clothing under her arm. ] Still feeling kind of stiff from being draped over the bar for so long, but... I'm okay.
The effect from the CEM this week is really taking no prisoners though. Gonna need some new clothes.
Can't you use towels? Like when you have to shape yukata. [ except she probably doesn't know wtf baiken is talking about. ] ...Just use 'em in the problem areas.
And I'm sayin' just wrap towels around the areas that are gonna stain the most. It might help. Not the big thick ones, though. It'll restrict movement too much.
If we get them now, I can show you how to wrap 'em. It's not hard, just takes practice. But it has to be better than staining all your clothes outright.
Sounds good. C'mon. [ lifts clothes a little more ] I have to drop these off in the laundry anyways. Need 'em for the drop. We can get towels there too.
[ just happily walks closely next to! yippee!! ]
It definitely sounds way better. I know it's hot as hell, but... ugh. Maybe it'll soak up the sweat too.

Usually it's my bar uniform... my work uniform, or sweats. I'm a pretty simple person.
