    Behold! A Master at work!

    See Campanella, dressed in a tatty old tracksuit and cheap sneakers. He has been cleaning - with mops; and buckets; and entire volumes of hand wipes. He had been working since breakfast; yet for all his effort the shared sanctum appeared no cleaner. Certainly, the kitchen area's now gleamed and the sideboard was a shiny, nice, colour again. Yet the floors remained as stained as ever. The cobwebs were gone from the main thoroughfares of the building - but the vast chambers once claimed by Star and the others remained delapidated as ever.

    Campanella struggled with the large bucket, begrimed water and creamy foam sloshing over the rim as he tipped its contents down the drain. The befouled water gurgled and growled as it poured away, leaving whorls of stains behind. He didn't need the Sight to tell him that the liquid was almost caustic - a mix of dirt, soap, and bleach.

    He misjudged how light the bucket had become and it slipped from his grasp, clanged on the floor.

    Campanella, Moros of the Mysterium, cursed loudly but without much venom; he was too tired to burn the necessary energy.

    The Theatre was large and empty. Someone had to try - at least - and maintain the place.

    Briar Rose cannot help it.

    She laughs. Hard.

    Loud and riotous she doubles over, her own hair, which might have been in a tight, slicked back bun, is now a knotted, flyaway mess, bobs in time with her bodily shudders, as she tries to rein in her laughter.

    Taking a great heaving breath, she bites her lip and pulls herself upward. Beginning to straighten her own dust strewn overalls and grungie now quite not-white crop top. From her end of the Theatre it appears she'd joined in on the cleaning frenzy.

    Dropping a should-have-been-orange sponge into her own bucket, she sucks in another breath.

    "We are totally getting take out after this, ya?"

    Campanella turns and gestures feebly with both his hands.

    "Oh yes. Take out. I'm too beaten for anything else... Unless we eat out. Somewhere not fancy. Somewhere... Away from here. Somewhere cheap and unhealthy."

    Was that a whine in his voice?

    Tugging up at his sleeves he bent down and retrieved his bucket.

    "I am glad you joined me in this. There is no way I could have done it alone."

    A wry smirk, imagining what Campanella considered unhealthy, "So yes to the box wine?" a snicker, "Whitey's Jolly Kone? Heard Star mention them...before. Uh. Before." she clears her throat, "S'not the five star fancy you're probably used to, which kinda, exactly what you're asking for. Maybe." a shrug, "Not be all stuffed up, we can eat outside. But if you're lookin' for greasier I can find somewhere else." she offers, wiping her hands on her overalls, and snagging her phone.

    A caught, heat in her cheeks, pointedly looking at her phone and not thinking about how her mostly packed go bag is only mostly packed. Clothes strewn, and mementos placed.

    "Don't mention it."

    Campanella made to say something, then stopped.

    He paused, and taking on a theatrical air, he posed as if in thought. The effect was... peculiar... given he was still lugging the heavy bucket in one hand.

    "How about I let you decide."

    There was a wicked gleam in his eye now.

    A snort, a cackle laugh.

    "Yah, then we're definitely swinging by a grocery store and getting something cheap. Like we can put a few hundred of 'em into a quarter of one of your swanky bottles." Stopping to think if they should head over to frozen food isle too, and pick up a couple of no name pizzas just to complete the evening, before she shakes her head.

    One traumatizing dinner item at a time.

    "Wanna wash up and head out?" since the man clearly cared what with the suits and the hair.

    Campanella looked at the now empty bucket. And then at the yawning, empty, gulfs of the theatre.

    "I believe so. We've done what we can for the moment."

    "Sure. You suit up, and I'll brush my hair or whatever." Says she, before turning to dump her bucket out and trash the sponge. It was more then done. It had a hefty work out, it deserved it's rest.

    She rolls her eyes at her own thoughts, and stalks back to her room, when she's close enough she unclips the straps and when she's into her room, she steps out of them and kicks them over to her laundry pile, along with her shirt.

    She hadn't even planned on changing, but the thought of being next to perfect put-together Campanella while she was still all gross wasn't something her ego could handle right now.

    So, changing. T-shirt, jeans, her boots and jacket wasn't super fancy but it was miles above her grimmie overalls and stained af tee. Grabbing her brush she pulls her hair-tie out of the snarls, cursing softly when she rips out strands of hair, puffing out a breath she pulls her brush through her hair and reties it.

    Scowling at the mirror, she rolls her eyes. Fine. Whatever.

    And back out to the main area of the Theatre to wait for the Alchemist.

    Campanella vanishes into his chambers as quickly as the Apostate.

    It takes the Moros much longer to clean himself off and switch into more appropriate clothing. When he does appear, his dishevelled hair is back in place and he is waring casual brown shoes with grey slacks and shirt. A coat is looped carefully over one arm, while he is slipping his phone into a pocket with the other.

    Briar Rose is staring off into the great vastness of the rafters when Campanella finally reappears. Not the full suit she was expecting but slacks, and an overcoat. Still way to dressed, but she thought the world would probably end if Campanella wasn't at least in slack-and-a-button-up.

    "Thought I'd let you off with just Jolly Kone, but nope!" comes her voice before she even realizes she's speaking but fuck she's doing, it's happening, "We're gonna hit up the mall, and the food court. Then hit the store and grab a bottle of wine for under twenty bucks." it was her night and she felt like torturing the Moros.

    Standing, she's already plotting her route, fingers snagging her keys, she loops the ring around her finger and grabs an extra helmet. "Wait. Are you gonna trust my driving?"
