Curious Chicklet Bathroom, Tuesday Late Morning (And then the Sewer)

It was a frikkin' miracle, really, that Katchoo had managed to make it successfully into the shower on only her third try this morning, and even more of one that she'd gotten the water running, considering everything she reached for seemed to end up in bubblewrap. That was kind of annoying, especially when the shower valves got too wrapped up to grip -- it wasn't like she broke things all the time just by touching them, geez.

She wasn't sure what was annoying her more at the moment: struggling to undo the water-slicked bubblewrap around the soap, or the bubblewrapped shower door that kept flying open due to her increasingly animated attempts to get to the soapy center of the bubblewrap roll.

[OOC: For someone specific primarily, ~~mwahahaha, but open to cabinmates if you wanna risk her wrath~~. Er, maybe not so much open now. Why are there no color panels of Katchoo in the shower? :( I mean, there's great black and white ones, but . . .]

Ichigo had already a long and tiring morning behind him. His trip to town had ended up in a detour to the beach. He'd reached his goal eventually and pushed open the door to J,GOB. He could still hear the chiming of the bells when all of a sudden he was...

In a bathroom. One of the cabin bathrooms by the look of it.

"Oh come on!"

"HEY! D'you mind, crankypants? I'm busy in here!" bellowed Katchoo, and in the process unfortunately knocked the shower door wide open again.

Wait. What? There were actually people in here?

The sound registered before the words or the voice and then he realised that he was back in his own cabin. No, how that was a priority would forever stay a mystery as all the rest registered all at once. Right about the same moment the door went crashing open and-

Ichigo must have strained something jumping the way he did. His eyes wide before reflexes kicked and he covered them quickly.

"DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT!" he yelped. Because this was all her fault, obviously.

Katchoo would argue that point. She'd argue that point a lot.

"I scared you?" she snarled, and it was a good thing she hadn't succeeded in unwrapping the soap, which went flying out of the shower stall toward Ichigo. "You're the one who barged in here, idiot!"

It was hard to duck when you didn't see it coming and it wasn't like there was any spiritual pressure coming from a piece of soap (and even if there was, Ichigo wouldn't have felt it anyway).

"Ow!" There was a second where he removed his hand and then remembered why has was covering his eyes. "STOP THAT! I didn't barge! It's this stupid island!"

"Oh, sure, blame the island," Katchoo hollered over the sound of the shower, as she flailed around with one arm in search of her -- bubblewrapped, and thus hard to identify by touch -- towel. "I'm stuck in this cabin with you, smart guy, remember?"

"I was in town," Ichigo shouted back, because this whole thing needed to involve shouting. If he was shouting, then he couldn't think about the rest. He tried backing towards the door, his hand still clamped tightly over his eyes.

... And he promptly stumbled into the sink instead. Why couldn't the stupid thing transport him now?

Katchoo was always a better conversationalist at the top of her lungs, go figure, and she finally wrenched the bubblewrapped thing that happened to be her towel anyway off the hook and wrapped it around herself.

"My ass you were in town," and never mind that the first time she'd tried to head for the shower she'd found herself out by the mini-golf course, and it was only when she'd tried to find her way out of the (dragon-free, apparently) dorm boiler room that she'd ended up back in here. "Go find someone else to do your peeping-tom routine on, will ya?"

"DO YOU SERIOUSLY THINK I WANT TO LOOK AT YOUR EMO ASS?" Ichigo shouted, glaring at her. From behind his hand. He was forgetting his desperate need to get the hell out of there.

"Oh, you better not be looking at that!" Katchoo roared, water flying everywhere as she stomped toward him; the fingers of the hand not holding her towel up (and really, it was covered in plastic and slippery and needed a lot of holding) were twitching. A lot.

"I am not!" Ichigo bellowed and in his defence, he really wasn't. Not yet as he heard her approach and if he had any reason to believe she was going to hit him then he was allowed. "I just wanted a doughnut, dammit!"

"This is the bathroom, genius," Katchoo snarled. "Does it look like you're gonna get doughnuts in here?"

"I was in town! Did you get bubble wrap in your ears?" he protested, twitching as in all honestly, he more fell like hitting her right now. But then there were things to be said about hitting a naked girl...

That led to another kind of twitching and he was trying very hard to keep his yelling moment going. "Just put on some pants and let me get out of here!"

"Why don't you get out of here so I can put on some pants?" Katchoo shot back, only to realize she . . . didn't have them in the bathroom. And who knew if she'd manage to make it back to her alcove on the first try? She hitched the towel up a little further, just to make sure the lily tattoo on her left breast was completely covered. "I'm not dropping this towel in front of you!"

"You better not!" came the instant reply and there was flailing, while his hand seemed to be glued to his face.

"Like I'd let you see?" Katchoo bellowed. She balled her hand up into a fist and reared back to hit him -- only to realize it suddenly felt muffled and weird.

Not at all unlike it had just been miraculously swathed in a dozen layers of bubblewrap.

"Aw, hell."

His shinigami senses went a tingling... or he just was wondering what was going on. Ichigo peeked from between his fingers and he was definitely ignoring the towel. Yep, he so was.

Instead he burst out laughing at the bubblewrap fist.

"Gaaaaaaaaah!" Bubblewrap or not, Katchoo did actually swing at him now, as close to a full force shot as she could manage to aim for his chin without dropping the stupid stupid slippery bubblewrapped towel. Of course, there was also the issue of the puddle of water beneath her bare feet that might've skewed her balance more than a little . . .

Ichigo was too busy laughing when the hit connected and if it hadn't been for the bubblewrap, he might have stopped laughing. Now there were pops at she hit his jaw and he still careened backwards, right into the door he'd been so desperately seeking.

"Hey! Quit that! You could hurt someone," he said, taunting like only an obnoxious older brother knew how to be.

Katchoo gave him a grim smile full of teeth, although the towel and the wet-rat look damped ~~*rimshot*~~ the effect a lot. Hitting someone was usually a lot more satisfying -- stupid bubblewrap.

She glowered at her fist, all mostly-busted bubblewrap and tape, then waved it under his nose. "You wanna take this crap off my hand and find out just how much?"

Ichigo failed to look intimidated as he studied her fist, but the way he was edging backwards might tell a different story.

"No. I'm good, but thanks," he said with a grin. His fingers found the doorknob and he quickly pulled it open, ready to make his escape.

Katchoo was pretty familiar with that kind of edging backwards, and just the tiniest hint of smugness crossed her face. "Hope you fall in a dumpster or something," she said, mock-sweetly -- which just sounded weird with her hoarse voice.

Like he was listening as he was making his retreat and fleeing. Fleeing like the wind...

Only to run into a wet and smelly place and... What the...?

He didn't want to know what the suspicious bubble wrapped packages were which came bobbing past him in the darkened sewers.

"Oh, fuck it."

When she didn't hear footsteps outside the bathroom door after a few moments, Katchoo let the full-force smirk she'd been holding in out to play, really hoping he'd actually ended up in a dumpster.

She finally shut off the water and gathered up her toiletries to head back to her alcove and get dressed, allowing herself a brief fistpump of victory(!) when she made it without the scenic detour. She'd gotten jeans and a bra on when she knocked the bottle of shampoo over, and it rolled across the cabin floor so of course she had to go get it and --

Well, hello there, sewers. Bubblewrapped sewers. And a shower gone to waste.

"God frikkin' --" The rest of the very long expletive string wasn't fit for public consumption in most civilized cultures.
