Curate, connect, and discover
There is only one laundry in hermitcraft and it is at spawn. Xisuma set it up because he needed a way to politely inform the other hermits that they really need to wash their clothes, just so he'll be able to take off his helmet with the filtration systems.
And just as predicted, the clothes all got mixed up. There are several people who own lab coats, so they just get swapped around (although everyone ensures that Doc gets the torn one before he wrecks someone else's coat). The shirt situation is hopeless.
Grian's red sweater and Stress's entire wardrobe are a constant threat to the non-pinkness of any other article of clothing on the server. Jevin's clothes are probably a biohazard. TFC's has enough dust from the mines to clog up the machines twice in a week, while Tango has enough gunpowder on his that it became a genuine concern that the pipes might blow up during the drying cycle. Rendog barely stops Wels from chucking an entire suit of armor into a washing machine, but then proceeds to overfill the drum with the outfits from all of his alter egos. Etho starts running a 'Lost and Found' where he threatens to sell other hermits' clothing to someone else.
After a month, most of the hermits have given up (or ran out of diamonds for Etho) and accepted their fate. Impulse and Joe had accidentally swapped shirts, and Joe begins to rid himself of the @ branding to embrace the i, while Impulse has an existential crisis over the idea of changing his name. On the other hand, Cleo and Cub have swapped their clothes and neither of them were bothered, since it was still pretty much a crop top and shorts either way.
All of the suits on the server are now mismatched, or very pink. It is now a reoccuring joke that if you manage to get the mayor's clothes and sash, you'll own the diamond throne. Inside the now-abandoned lost-and-found, there are a lot of unclaimed Mumbo for Mayor t-shirts lying about, and the pile appears to be multiplying, or at least growing taller by the day. It might be sentient at this point or contain some sort of mutated fungus, but nobody dares to clean it up. Why is it making a hissing sound?
Xisuma admits defeat when he walks into a Hermitcraft meeting, only to find just about everyone wearing one of X's costumes that they had stolen from the laundry. Keralis does rock the Reporter Beesuma suit though, he can keep it.
This entire thing was such an entertaining read, thank you for this lovely mental image...I just can't stop thinking about the conversations that would happen as a result of this!
