watashi wa CLEAN IT UP
Who: Niffty and whoever!
What: HOUSEKEEPING
When: during Act 1 of the Story
Where: all sorts of places on the Princess of Chiron. (Your Room????)
Content warnings: None anticipated! You're welcome to tag in looking for an interaction, or with an unoccupied room (point me toward whatever Interesting Stuff Niff might find; Interesting need not be Plot-Related).
There's a cart of cleaning supplies careening through the ship seemingly on its own, occasionally humming a tune.
Of course, it's not on its own, and Niffty is very used to not being able to see around her cleaning cart. She'll have to thank Caine again for getting her access to the supply closets (too bad she can't take any of this stuff back to the Library with her, but oh well). Now it's time for the fun part.
You may or may not hear a rapid-fire knock at your door, followed by "HOUSEKEEPING!" You may or may not let the gremlin responsible in. She may or may not let herself in upon hearing no response.
Either way, your room will have never been cleaner.

Room: Eisenholdt, Suika. Deck 3, room 304
[Under her bed, there's a small box, in which is stowed a decent amount of weapons maintenance equipment-- not just a gun cleaning kit and a honing steel, but a whetstone and several tuning chisels for a force shield, as well as an old card of some kind... and a busted communicator, in the pattern of the Coalition.]
[On her desk are several fashion drawings and a guitar pick, as well as a carefully-kept makeup case.]
no subject
She does get a little distracted by the pretty fashion drawings. And the chisel things, mostly because she has no idea what they're for.
no subject
Unfortunately, this knowledge nonetheless does absolutely nothing to prepare it. It doesn't want an SOB (aka: Sentient Organic Being) in its room, doing things while its trying to watch its media. But it has absolutely no idea how to prevent that happening. Barricading the door is a temping idea, but will probably lead to other terrible outcomes later. Shit. Shit.
When she opens the door, SecUnit is inside, sitting in an armchair and studiously not looking to catch Nifty's eye. It expression suggests it kind of wants to throw up. Meanwhile, on the room's display screen, some piece of media has been paused during a scene where a lot of explosions appear to be happening.
(Damn it, it should have gone with the barricading idea...!)
no subject
"oooooh!" she says, to the paused movie (TV show? whatever).
And then, because the tension in this guy's posture is obvious even to her: "...Should I come back later?"
no subject
"Um," it says. Does it want her to come back later? It kind of would like her to never come at all. Or send a CleanerBot instead. It wouldn't mind a CleanerBot. SecUnit isn't awkward around them
"Do you have to?" it says. "I don't need the room cleaned."
(And in fact, the room is unusually clean, for one that's occupied. The bed doesn't appear to have been slept in. There are no food wrappers, or discarded pieces of rubbish lying about. It looks like a room where SecUnit has come in, sat itself in the armchair, and then did literally nothing else (it looks like that because that's exactly what happened.))

"You can just tell me to fuck off! You could've done that before I came in. There should be a 'do not disturb' sign to put on the doorknob."

She blinks at the cart, arm lowering.
"Can I just take a towel and pass on the cleaning?"

"Squares. To.. respect their four to six sided culture.." Yeaaah, that's it. "Sorry, wasn't expecting actual housekeeping."
no subject
But they could be decorative and ceremonial! How would she know?
"It gives me something to do! And it's a good way to learn stuff."

Look, just because he knows her from the library doesn't mean he's not going to wonder what the hell.

That's maybe not a fully helpful answer, but it probably is informative.

The dog eared, dog nosed, dog tailed and dragon winged boy stops as he opens the door to find Nifty inside. "Oh, sorry I thought this was--wait. This is my room?"
no subject
"Hi! I'm cleaning." She's not bothered at all by Levi's appearance. If anything he's pretty normal by Hell's standards.

Specifically, hidden in a dresser are a number of ornate boxes, each marked with the symbol of a triangular prism.
no subject
Or maybe, given the boxes, one of them is Dark Side of the Moon? And if one of those boxes is open, she might just have to look at what's in it. (Look at, not rifle through.)
no subject
There is also a picture of what looks like Claire Ryland in robes, using all of this equipment.
Her starblade is, shocking no one, very purple.
no subject
And she has a lightsaber here!
Niffty leaves all that the fuck alone. She's here to clean, not destroy the furniture playing with a laser.
no subject
However, after her maid had left for the evening, Irene had taken the time to take some rather scandalous selfies (mostly her trying to make sultry facial expressions while in her underwear, or in one case actually topless.). This is a perfectly normal thing for adults to do, but it was generally considered prudent not to leave them open on your laptop without shutting it before heading out to a party so that the cleaning service can see them when they walk into the bedroom.
Irene's future reputation was, suddenly, in Niffty's hands.
no subject
She closes the laptop. Whatever this pretty lady is doing with the pictures is her own business.
(Unless she was wearing Very Obvious Crown Jewels in any of those pictures, in which case the significance will probably hit Niffty later.)
