Zim's Wall o'Shame

Failures at the Sweep 'n Suds


  • Swygswys Lubbkhanwyn: Ah, a Captain of the sea reeking of the ocean and sporting a brine-coated, and flaking, shirt. Nothing Sweep 'n Suds can't handle; right? Nay. Even with two extra helpings of her proprietary soap, the salty stench remained. Mayhap the snailfish oil ingredient of the soap aided in today's failure. Mayhap just the stiff salty air was too much for the machinery. Who knew. But, a Captain should smell of her beloved sea, nay? (12/19/23)

  • Tempest Song/Windy Hum: A tunic covered in...egg? Was she cooking? Who the heck knows. Anyroad, the egg whites didn't react well to the soap and heat, and hardened to a near-starch. Not to mention, a misplaced gil coin that had bounced around the Sudsy Whirlycogs was now permanent affixed to the tunic. Embellishments, eh? At no charge! (12/19/23)

  • Myrganwyb Ahldsmydwyn: Myr's stunning red dress needed a good cleaning. And, by the Twelve, it shrank in the wash. Is it such a bad thing? It was still wearable, she said, but her bosom swelled and strained against the tighter seams of the dress's neckline. Again; is it such a bad thing? Should she even be on this wall? (12/12/23)

  • Yloise Gourdinoux: A new patron brought in a be beautiful frilly pink dress, that was stained. Zim brought out her dissolvent, and mayhap let it sit for far too long. Once the gobbie metalworknigs had finished, the stain was removed from the dress, but the "frills" of the filly pink dress were also...gone. Lost, somewhere in a lint trap? Who needs lace anyroad? (12/12/23)

  • Nyunthota Lyngwyrkwyn: Nyun's frosted-attire somehow remained frosted...it didn't melt in the heat of the Drywindy Spinnybox. It actually...hardened? What is happening? Why is there so much frosting?!? (12/12/23)

  • Lydia Skyhaven: Lydia's bag of attire somehow attracted Windy's dress-frosting and was similarly stained. 'tis the season to share, hm? (12/12/23)

  • Tempest Song/Windy Hum: Not just any dress, but a Starlight Celebration dress! Such a treasure, albeit covered in...was that frosting? Windy's dress was completely not cleaned. Although the frosting melted in the process of the Sudsy Whirlycogs and Drywindy Spinnybox, there's lovely stains where each glob of frosting once was. (12/12/23)

  • Alun Muscadet: Although Alun sent her tiny construct in her stead, Alun's poor luck followed the mammet to the 'Suds. Zim was tasked with mending a torn white coat. Alas, she could only find vivid red thread...and was distracted when she mistakenly thought someone uttered the name "Weavy." In her haste, she managed to stitch a pocket shut rather than darn a simply hole. Mayhap needlecraft wasn't suited for the 'Suds...but nobody has tried to dissuade Zim from her seamstress ways. (11/28/23)

  • Talon Poppy: A coat with a torn collar, stained gloves, and stained trousers. Well, after two-months of the 'Suds undergoing emergency repairs, the gobbie machinery was put to the test. And failed. Not only did the stains remain and set, but Talon had insisted she'd do her own mending later. The tear in the coat? Grew exponentially down the shoulder and right sleeve. (11/28/23)

  • Alouette Sarza: The bell was going SO well until Itvara's jacket was caught in the cogs of the Handsgrabber. Although freed without harm, a transferrence of oil from machinery to jacket occurred...which then occurred within the Sudsy Whirlycogs or Drywindy Spinnybox. Poor Alouette's tunic was stained and set with the grease and oil of the Handsygrabber; Itvara's jacket, though: not a speck of grease remained. (9/26/23)

  • Jourdain Couteaux: What good is a chef without an apron? The poor cookie of the Hangman' Jig lost his apron's strings to the Tickytox's newest invention: The Handsgrabber - a machine crafted to aid Zim around the busy 'Suds. Alas, it grabbed the dirty apron so fast and so hard, Jourdain was left simply holding the strings of said garmet while the machinery dropped what remained into the Sudsy Whirlycogs. On the positive: it was a very clean ex-apron when the cycle had ended. (9/26/23)

  • Graeskar Faewether: The chirurgeon needed his beloved coat (cough cough) "let out." Gods, someone needs to take away needle and thread from our little Lalafell. Alterations easy? NAY! The poor coat; somehow she managed to stitch it much...much tighter and smaller. What once fit a Roe would now only adorn the shoulders and torso of Grae's Lalafellin' son, Oswood. (9/19/23)

  • Talon Poppy: The animal lover brought in chocobo barding for Zim to launder. Gods, did it stink. If you thought it stunk before, it definitely reeked after of Zim's attempt to wash it in the nearby pond of goblet: stagnant water, scuzz, and copperfish shite. Let us not even discuss the amount of suds that overflowed into the cobblestones of Goblet! (9/19/23)

  • The Coffee Kettle: Zim's beloved and well-used coffee kettle had seen better days. Tempest suggested mayhap it be laundered in the Sudsy Whirlycogs. Although it made a mighty clatter and clanking, alas, such scorch marks were beyond saving. (9/12/23)

  • Arthur "Ver" Verhaegen: Yet again, Zim's stitching talents led to a disaster of embroidery; however, her husband walked in just in time and saved the day. Now where did Alexander Shimizu become learn such remarkable skills? The world may never know. (9/12/23)

  • Alun Muscadet: More mending...gods...Zim's fingers must have been numb as she failed miserably. Regardless, the show must go on: into the Sudsy Whirlycogs it went...and came out clean! BUT not as clean and sparklin as Swarloh's pristine rock!! (8/29/23)

  • Koharu Maibito: Although Zim successfully mended whatever manner of shenanigans created such tears, the bloodstains wouldn't wash out. Yet another failed attempt at blood. Mayhap if the laundress would only remember to pre-treat such stains! (8/29/23)

  • Lootingway: The sticky-fingered Lopporit brought in a set of bedlinens stained with spilled carrot juice. Said linens, of course, did not belong to Lootingway; and hopefully Zim's homemade soaps and wondrous Goblin machinery could get out the stains an the linens returned; no one made the wiser. Nope. The stains remained...Since the bedlinen-owner had taste the finest things in life, Zim gave Lootingway a hefty coinpurse with the hopes they could purchase a replacement set and continue the ruse. (8/22/23)

  • 8/15/23 - Due to the unfortunate bottle of endless glitter opened by Talon Poppy at the One Year Anniversary of the Suds on 8/8/23, the following patrons succumbed to extreme glitter coating of their attire and earned their spot on the Wall of Shame (all Zim's laundry rolls were made at disadvantage): Cole Ushiromiya, Alkaj Rehw-marouc, Alun Muscadet, and an Honorable Mention of Badge Dawnstar, who drank the coffee Zim made and found himself on the floor, moaning in agony; healed by Cole...and hurking up some sort of sentient coffee sludge. Sidenote - The only patron whose clothes were not completely covered in glitter? Talon Poppy. What is going on???

  • Myrganwyb Ahldsmydwyn: Bloody and torn attire; Zim was so busy she forgot to pretreat for the blood. The attire made it's way through the Sudsy Whirlycogs and the Drywindy Spinnybox, and now the bloodstains had set. (8/1/23)

  • Kel Fletcher: In an epic battle of wits, nimble feet, umbrellas, and slick cheese; Captain Fletcher fell to the mighty arse-smacking skills of Zim's Namazu helper, Gyogono. After an amazing dance of jabs, bonks, and dodges, it all ended with one swift jab to the arse. Captain Fletcher landed flat on her face in congealing fondue cheese. (8/1/23)

  • Zlata Malheur: Due to the snotty residue of a certain creature named Kevin, Zlata's bloodstained coat was snot-stained. Although, the bloodstains were removed with a pre-treatment dissolvent prior to the Sudsy Whirlycogs Snot Fest. So, one stain for another. AND 313 gil was found in the pockets; returned back to Zlata. (7/25/23)

  • Cole Ushiromiya: The return of a stranger, Cole brought in some jackets in dire need of laundering. Unfortunately, Kevin's copious amounts of snot had gummed up the Drywindy Spinnybox and it took four people to actually get it open. All laundering had to cease and Cole would need to return anon...Once the tender inners of the gobbie metalworkings were repaired, Zim was able to safely clean Cole's jackets and delivery them by moogle. (7/25/23)

  • Cedrik Molkot: Cedrik lost all the they walked in wearing...BUT walked out in SNS attire as the Drywindy Spinnybox had a major cog malfunction and it shredded everything to ribbons. Ribbons for Tempest…(7/11/23)

  • Piane Muscadet: Piane's beautifully tea-stained dress did not survive the cogs either...MORE RIBBONS! (7/11/23)

  • Myrgamyb Ahldsmydwyn: A four-piece set of monk's attire...and a very special & sentimental hat. Although the monk's attire went into the Sudsy Whirlycogs and Drywindy Spinnybox, the hat was propped along the steaming pipes on the wall to steamclean. The attire? Still stained with the salt of sweat, but at least they didn't smell. The hat? Made up for the failure as it came out pristine and Zim opined looking brand-swivin' new! (6/13/23)

  • Kel Fletcher/Small Fletcher: Although a failure yet again, Captain Fletcher didn't seem to mind. The attire she brought was incredibly bloodied and Zim was too busy to apply any pre-treatment. The bloodstains were too strong...and remained. The ever-gracious Kel stated it may be time to toss the attire. Mayhap Tempest's request they be made into ribbons? Nay. More likely a funeral pyre... (6/13/23)

  • Emersara Nightspirit: A mother of a wee beautiful daughter, Sakuri, and a basket full of dirty attire. Although mostly clean, Zim was unable to remove a few stains. They'd likely set...free of charge. Would they come back in the future? (6/13/23)

  • Ghyslain Ouraux: Bedlinens. Again. These things were still stained, even after a thorough washing. Zim had them wrapped neatly so as to hide her shortcomings. Mayhap he wouldn't notice... (6/13/23)

  • Xakari Xeo: The problem? Curry-stained attire from a very passionate night of cooking. The solution? Our laundress should have pre-treated those stains, but nay! She did not...and alas, the stains held fast. Not only was there a full refund issued and the offer of free service anon, but Zim found 462 gil within the pockets and made sure to return the misplaced coin to their owner. (5/30/23)

  • Llyr JinjahlBrynhildr: The fortune teller returned with more business! This time, it was the very delicate veils that she wears while piercing the veil. Zim was reassured that they were stronger than they looked and could handle the gobbie metalworkings, but alas; it was not true! Mayhap if the filthy smallclothes of a certain Miqo'te had not wound around Llyr's launderings, all would have been well? But they were knotted and twisted together in such a tangle that could not be undone. Was she upset? NAY! Llyr brandished the heavy coil of veils and proclaimed she had a way of bludgeoning any never-do-wells during her travels. Another happy customer! (5/30/23)

  • Windy Hum: After the great Cakening last moon, Zim had laundered Windy's attire and had it sent via Delivery Moogle to her customer's home. Alas, it was never delivered. Zim must needs lodge a complaint with the postmoogle's office. (5/30/23)

  • Talon Poppy: Repeat customer, the Roe just simply will never run into any luck at the 'Suds, be it launderpot or gobbie metalworkings. The stains remained all over the attire. One day...ONE DAY...Zim and her soap shall win. But this day was not today. (5/16/23)

  • Llyr JinjahlBrynhildr: Yet another fresh face at the 'Suds who needed mending. This, a torn cloak. Although Zim did her best, the stitches were akimbo and thick, ungodly, and bright red. It mattered not as Llyr was pleased as pleased could be! Mayhap she'll return anon. (5/16/23)

  • Ameline Kreideprinz: A new customer had brought in a torn coat that belongs to her brother. While stitching, Zim pricked her finger with the needle and unknowingly trailed blood across the garment and her stitching. (5/16/23)

  • Weavy Cupcake: At no fault of my own, I'm adding Mrs. Cupcake to the wall for her own Shame. She purchased a bottle of the 'Suds new soap and promptly drank it. Why? Why would anyone do that?? (4/25/23)

  • Eyvindur Tormelodos: How is it again possible for bloodstains to transfer from one set of attire to another? And Zim even forgot to pre-treat such stains. Anyroad, Evyn's companion's attire was spotless, but left those spots on Evyn's own seemingly starched and untouched clothing. How had they starched? What was going on? She woudl fix this...anon. (4/25/23)

  • Shonven Fyth: Unfortunately, there were some stains that Zim forgot to pre-treat; and failed to be removed by the magic of goblin technology. Free of charge - hoping that Shonven returns for future opportunities to prove Zim and her Sudsy Whirlycogs worth of such business. (4/18/23)

  • Alexander Shimizu: Ah, the beloved Red Chocobo suit was brought in for drycleaning before the Crimson Casino opened it's doors the next eve. It was clean, but unfortunately lost a few tailfeathers in the process. (4/18/23)

  • Swygswys Lubbkhanwyn: Stretched and caught in the mass of Ghyslain's smallclothes, Swygs' attire was left a twisted, knotted mess. Would they be salvageable? Not today; mayhap anon? A coinpurse passed hands as Zim hoped it would be enough to cover the damages. (4/18/23)

  • Ghyslain Ouraux: Once more, he brings in that same horrifically damaged set of smallclothes. The Gobbie Metalworkins weren't done with them yet! Twisted, stretched, and useless...not even fit to burn. Alas, 'tis time to purchase new ones and the Viera finally took a long overdue refund... (4/18/23)

  • Silent Harmony: A new customer to the 'Suds, she brought in a beautiful silken dress. Dry-clean only. No worries. Zim's got the perfect powders and brushes. or does she? A handle broke, the wood splintered horrifically and tore right through the delicate material. (4/11/23)

  • Alun Muscadet: How hard could it be to get one little tea stain out of a hakama? Without pre-treatment? Impossible!!! It remained tea-stained! BUT there was 302 gil coins found within the folds and pockets. Zim was so distracted with the thought of the magician's missing attire, she failed to notice Alun's reaction. Shite. Free of charge, of course. (3/28/23)

  • Whiskers: Yet again...a failure. Mayhap the Miqo'te had excessively oily fur? Or the cogs in the machines were just a bit too lubed? But once more, Whiskers' attire was not clean and quite stained...Oh the shame. (3/28/23)

  • Barry Bond: A new client! Fresh meat victim clientele! He was a magician - even pulled a spriggan out of a hat! Zim was tasked to launder his coat, shirt, pants, and even hat; paid too much gil in advance, and lived to regret it. Whether it be the gobbie metalworkins that did it or Weavy's near-meteor-strike, the man's clothing was completely lost in the drywindy spinnybox. He was gracious; accepted the full refund, and the hat (thank the gods) had been steamcleaned separately from the laundry. Another proud owner of the 'Suds signature dalmatica and trousers. Although he did somehow magically swap from red to metallic gold dye. Mayhap he's the golden aetherthread as well? Nay, A MAGICIAN! (3/28/23)

  • Meredith Black: The good captain brought in a sack full of muddied clothes from gardening and other random ground-worthy tasks. How must her hips feel? Anyroad, they were returned just so - if not moreso - muddied. Rather than accept the parcel of clean attire, Merry plopped it back down on Zim's laundry basket and demanded another cycle. The second run was much better and the clothes were actually clean. (3/28/23)

  • Alexander Shimizu: Red brought in one huge dalamud red stage curtain for laundering - and then to be hung up and grace the walls of the Crimson Casino. Alas, it too fell prey to Tempest's filtration system. Damn it all to hells! Red gave the curtain to Ghyslain, who seemed to favor the hue. (3/14/23)

  • Looting Way: The Loporrit had returned, this time with a bag of attire that obviously wasn't made to one of their size. Everything took on a slight purple tinge; likely due to the pulp-and-berry-filled sock of mini-Tempest's bartending filter. Not discouraged, Looting Way was off to give the lavender-hued attire to those in need! (3/14/23)

  • Whiskers: His one shirt. One and only. Beautiful. Well, it was; before it entered the Sudsy Whirlycogs with Kohana's bloodstained attire. It actually came out stained itself! Now, does such a rusty hue add to the flavor of a shirt? Depends...poor Whiskers. Free of charge! (2/28/23)

  • Myrganwyb Ahldsmydwyn: A dress worn for duty in need of a mending and washing. Neither turned out well. Nymeia was not smiling down on the Sweep 'n Suds this day! (2/28/23)

  • Ghyslain Ouraux: Once more, smallclothes were brought in. Mayhap Zim would do a better job this time? NAY! They only shrank more; all the tighter to embrace that perfect arse 'n long legs... (2/28/23)

  • Tempest Song: Tempest's robe and a jacket. The robe? One could certainly smell the stink of a fighting pit. The jacket? Smattered in a bit of orange pulp. There must've been bone shards somewhere in a pocket as the robe came out tatterened and torn; the jacket just as stained. Tempest wore the robe with pride, bits of flesh peeking out here and there. Imagine it in a gentle breeze... (2/28/23)

  • Alun Muscadet: Will Alun ever learn? Nay...A waistcoat in need of mending met Zim's needle and unmatching thread. The stitches were far too tight, fabric bunched and puckered, and the knot not thoroughly tied. Into the Sudsy Whirlycogs and Drywindy Spinnybox: Not only did the mending job come undone, but the waistcoat most certain shrank. (2/21/23)

  • Broc Cupcake: Beloved father of twins, husband to Weavy, and Zim's personal client, lost a sleveve ofh is jacket to a loose cog in the Drywindy Spinnybox. Zim suggested he tear off the other and wear a fashionable vest for the coming spring...(2/21/23)

  • Bitter Rabbit: Even with a thorough pre-treatment, Zim and the Sudsy Whirlycogs could not get the bloodstains out of Bitter's clothing. (2/21/23)

  • Ghyslain Ouraux: The Viera brough in a bag of smallclothes, which unfortunately remained stained. What were those anyroad? (2/21/23)

  • Aeons Past: Ah, the ever-beautiful Valentione's Day outfit, complete with perfect stockings. What could go wrong? Naught. Right? Wrong. Somehow, somewhere - a new stain appeared smack-dab in the center of the dress. And the stockings? Nay, they've runs and holes throughout. As Aeons put it: like holed-cheese. A full refund to Aeons, as well as 100 gil to purchase a new pair of stockings; hopefully that will be enough. (2/14/23)

  • Lydia Skyhaven: The Jigs' medica and boatswain brought in laundry of one of her wards, as well as a very cumbersome stack of bloodied bandages. Zim was so busy, she completely forgot about the pre-treatment solvents from the alchemists of Thavnair. Shite. Not only were the bandages still stained, but Zim's lack-of-focus led to the Drywindy Spinnybox running far too long and too hot. The clothes? Shrank to a size even to small for her Lalafellin arse. And the bandages? Let us not discuss those. (1/31/23)

  • Cole Ushiromiya: Always a pleasure to see Cole, who this sennight brought an assortment of suits and dresses. Although mostly clean, there were still a few stains that remained; however, Cole was ever-gracious. Free of charge, of course. (1/31/23)

  • Aeons Past: Although her laundry survived the gobbie metalworkings...her suspenders had seen better days. Dry-cleaned only, with soft powder and an even softer brush; Zim's elbow grease and passion for cleaning were just too much. Too much brushin'. The soft leather was a bit scuffed and scratched. (1/31/23)

  • Weavy Cupcake: A month's worth of laundry and soiled nappies from her twin bairn. Why wait a month? Because Zim was too distracted with a certain glob of sentient ooze to remember to bring it home for the past several sennight. Anyroad, the stains in the diapers were far too set to manage...and Zim now owes a very powerful mage a lot of cotton nappies. (1/24/23)

  • Alun Avagnar: Ah, a beautiful set of dancer's attire: small alluring, seductive bits of fabric that barely covered indecencies. Well, now they covered even less as there was a clog in the cogs of the gobbie metalworkings and a sudden burst of hot air in the drywindy spinnybox shrunk Alun's beautiful attire to an unusable size. (1/24/23)

  • Talon Poppy: Also tragically shrunk by the malfunction, Talons' small cloth brown mask was now smaller than a dinner napkin. Unfit to be worn. Mayhap a new handkerchief? Reduce, reuse, recycle? (1/24/23)

  • Meredith Black: Once more, her suit was covered in spilled libation...much more than usual. And this time? Bits of shattered bottles, glass, and splinters. Ah, the exploding scuttlebot! Anyroad, the laundering went just find, but the glass tore holes in the fabric. Zim tried to mend, but managed in her nervous haste to stitch the front and back of the jacket together as well as several pockets closed. Loose, tangled thread and clump knots decorated the suit jacket as well. (1/24/23)

  • Carmen Forestarm: Yet another new client to Sweep 'n Suds, she brought in a coat of Sharlayan make in need of some mending. There was some esteemed meeting taking place anon and Carmen needed it repaired and steamed before her presentation. Well, shite. The darning was well-enough, but the newly-acquired iron combined with Badge's fire aether and Zim's ignorance led to a hefty-blackened-iron-shaped marring of the jacket. Carmen was gracious enough to leave the coat with Zim for a sun or two so she could try to remedy the error... (1/17/23)

  • Elias Lathel: Another new client to the 'Suds, this lalafell had some torn trousers and singed attire. Distracted by a wave of clientele and conversations, Zim's stitchery was a swiving mess and a bundle of knots and loose thread. Elias refuted her refund and instead offered a trade of services since she refused to take his gil. A stroll in wine country has been arranged, with him offering bodyguard services and her buying the vino. Win-win...and not a date. (1/17/23)

  • Talon Poppy: A ward of Lydia Skyhaven's came in with a dirty jacket...and let with a dirty jacket. What sort of sorcery had kept that stickiness on said attire is beyond Zim's comprehsion. If the Sudsy Whirlycogs couldn't get it out; nothing can! (1/17/23)

  • Ghyslain Ouraux: ...None may be more well-known for "yams for yalms" and super-short shorts than Ghyslain Ouraux; often spotted running laps around Limsa. Well, now he may best be known for the ensemble's faded lavender hue. Unfortunately, the fabric and fibers didn't shrink to become even tighter than they already are, but the Viera still looks damn good in purple. Did I mention his jacket, too, was ruined? Mayhap it was the presence of Kohana's blanket? Or an all-too-full gobbie metalworkings that led to such a failure. The question that remains: will he keep them in their new shade, or seek to redye them to their natural state? (1/3/23)

  • Weavy Cupcake: Although Badge Dawnstar delivered the bag of laundry and separate bag of soiled nappies, neither would be cleaned to satisfaction! Stains remained...godsdamnit, despite the powdered pre-treatment and Sudsy Whirlycogs... (1/3/23)

  • Miriam Valona and Ifril Kizsl: More Blood-stained attire?? These two wandered in together, appeared to be friends, and Zim attempted to launder their attire together. Nope. The cold water of the sudsy whirlycogs and the heat from the drywindy spinnybox have set those stains for good. Ifril's proud to boast of such - gore. Miriam? Understanding of the stains, but not as eager to brag. On the plus side? Miriam's attire did snag 889 gil from the inner-workings of the spinnybox. (12/27/22)

  • Krina Jarsall: Blood-stained attire would be no match for the newly-installed mechanisms in the 'Suds! Or would it? Mayhap Zim shouldn't have crammed the washer as full as she did with Cole's two costumes and Krina's coat. Shite...bloodstains have proven to be a thorn in Zim's side today. (12/27/22)

  • Alun Avagnar: Such a beautiful coat! Unfortunately, it may have been in the drywindy spinnybox too long as it appears to have shrunk an ilm or two. Always cheerful, Alun found the silver lining and the coat's snuggier fit was more comfortable. Hopefully it would hold up in any type of battle or evasive maneuvers. Time will tell. (12/27/22)

  • Weavy Cupcake: A month's worth of clothing...and a month's worth of badly-soiled nappies (the bairns be ill!). The nappies were never tended to since, once more, far too much of Zigo's dissolvent was used in lieu of soap and the two baskets of clothing completely dissolved. I think Zim finally learned of her error, but couldn't stop Weavy from suddenly jumping into the pot to find her clothes. The Lalafell promptly disappeared within the murky depthsinto the pot with nary a scream. Zim screamed. And immediately closed the 'Suds for the day. (12/20/22)

  • Nyunthota Lyngwyrkwyn: After accidentally using the entire bottle of Zigo's dissolvent rather than soap, the entire basket of training clothes and towels of the Hangman's Jig's crew was dissolved. Naught remained...Mayhap everyone could train in the buff? Shite. (12/20/22)

  • Ghyslain Ouraux: His smallclothes and undershirt all dissolved. DAMN Zigovali the Orange's dissolvent! Damn it all to hells! Ghys only requested 8 gil pieces for the loss. How very...kind. (12/20/22)

  • Merry Black: The Captain brought in the blouse Zim had sprayed with champagne and covered in rose petals at the Starlight Shuffle. Mayhap the lack of a strong-quality soap and the power of oldrose petals led to disaster? The white blouse was now pink! But Ghyslain to the rescue: he gave it a stern bleaching and it was good as new. Zim paid the Viera for his services. (12/13/22)

  • Cole Ushiromiya: Not only did bring in a white suit for pressing and cleaning, but it needed a good mend. Ghyslain did his best, but it wasn't good enough. Not only did the mending rival the worst of Zim's stitchery, but he left the overly-bleached and shrunken suit on the drying stoves too long, which burnt a small hole into the fabric. The ever-gracious Cole didn't seem to mind, stating he could have it dyed and repaired anon. (12/6/22)

  • Zimzimki Shimizu: Ghyslain offered to help at the 'Suds while Zim recovered from a nasty headache. Unfortunately, that meant he didn't succeed at cleaning her very own bedlinens. An act of karma, mayhap? (12/6/22)

  • Ghyslain Ouraux: Ghys brought his traditional Vieran harness, all the way from his days in Golmore. Feeling the ever-judgmental gaze of Captain Black atop her wee buns, Zim brushed against the grain of the soft suede, accidentally untying the small leather bows, completely unwinding one of the two ties. The belt had gone missing. He still paid 25 gil and appeared happy; although it was likely forced. (11/21/22)

  • Ghyslain Ouraux: Black hoes that required a delicate touch did not receive such from Zim's attempts. She grabbed a stiff-bristled brush rather than a buttery-soft one. It was rather scarred beyond repair. He threw them into the fires of the drying stoves with a mighty sob, "To Ifrit!!" Zim paid a rather large sum of gil in recompense. (11/15/22)

  • Giradeath Itoly: A rather large and clunky coat adorned with metal barely fit into the launderpot. And when it came out? It was missing bits and baubles. Shite. Zim slipped 25 gil into the pockets and laundered for fre. (11/15/22)

  • Nyunthota Lyngwyrkwyn: Towels from the Jig. Always towels! Alas, they were shredded by the floating bits of metal from Giradeath's coat. Towels no more; they were rags for the barback of the Jig. (11/15/22)

  • Nyunthota Lyngwyrkwyn: Foul boots covered in mud, grime, was that blood? And gods knew what else. Despite her attempts, Zim could not clean them. Mayhap footwear was not her forte? (11/8/22)

  • Kukuvi Kuvi: Lime green boots in need of cleaning were not thoroughly cleaned by Zim that morning. She insisted she keep them to try again anon and return them a separates un. (10/25/22)

  • Vollder Cupcake: THE Golden Nugget brought his GOLDEN suit. THE SUIT! Zim shoved it in her launderpot before he told her it was to be dry cleaned only. SHITE. Although it was a bit stiff around the edges, the beautiful suit was not ruined. Thank the Twelve! (10/25/22)

  • Ikaros Gradius: A borrowed formal coat, shirt, and pants. All surivived the launderpot, but when Zim went to press the coat, she left the hot iron on too long, leaving a very charred shape of same betwixt the shoulderblades. Zim asked Ikaros submit an invoice from the owner of the suit so she may fully repay them for her error. (10/18/22)

  • Cole Ushiromiya: Cole brought more of his Carnivale attire. Although Zim caught that they were still stained with sweat, she said nothing; wrapping them in a parcel for Cole and sending him on his way unaware...for now. (10/11/22)

  • Ikaros Gradius: Attire still still stunk of wet earth, although Zim couldn't smell it - or refused to acknowledge they still smelled - and unfortunately Ikaros left his boots in the wad of clothes...which were unknowingly boiled to oblivion. Not even fit to give to Grinly as a treat or toy. Shite. Full refunds were issued. (10/11/22)

  • Nyunthota Lyngwyrkuwyn: The brine-and-sweat covered attire of Captain Black's deckhand proved too powerful for Zim's launderpot and simple soap. They reeked still...mayhap even tainted the waters of her launderpot?! (10/11/22)

  • Brunhild Normungandi: Mending went well, but stains were unable to be lifted by Zim's amazing laundering skillset. (9/27/22)

  • Cole Ushiromiya: Carnivale attire! How in the seven hells does one launder something covered in feathers? The easy answer: NOT in a launderpot! Dry clean only! The feathers were ruined!! RUINED! (9/13/22)

  • Badge Dawnstar: A badly stained and torn monk outfit. Zim certainly failed at getting a lot of the staining out of the attire, but it was mostly cleaned. Unfortunately, the mending job was atrocious. And if it held at all, shall look quite - puckered and stitched with thick contrasting thread that is not at all flattering. The next time he wore it, the outfit burst open at the first sign of acrobatics...Not a stitch left on the lad. (8/8/22)
