With some effort, you force the door shut.
> Then, set it from Kill cycle to Spin Dry.
Apparently, it's a combo washer-dryer. You push the "Spin Dry" button. The display changes, and the drum begins to spin rapidly.
The washing machine rears up, agitated, and throws you back down the corridor.
>Throw your pen right at the screen
The Biro is far too light to do any real damage, and simply bounces off the display.
>If all else fails, wrestle the thing like a bear.
You've never actually wrestled a bear, but hell, there's a first time for everything. You charge straight at the machine, your fist raised.
The washing machine drum is spinning rapidly, the clothes inside a blur. Suddenly, the door pops open, and the display changes once again...

You dive down the laundry corridor, just in time.
The good news is, the washer doesn't explode. The bad news is, that spinning laundry beam would be every bit as deadly to you if it made contact, and considerably less deadly for the machine.
>Is the washer/dryer plugged in?
Nope. It's just rampaging. And now it's blocking the corridor oh god.
The spin dry button has gone dark once again.
Welcome To TV Tropes | How To Write An Example | Text Formatting Rules | List Of Shows That Need Summary | TV Tropes Forum | Know The StaffSorry about the massive delay. I clean forgot. Thanks to Juan for reminding me.
>Give it your Under Pants, more specifically it's entire inventory at a high speed.
You pull out all the contents of your underpants that can be tastefully depicted here and lob them at your foe.
Most of the objects simply bounce off, but the hot sauce bottle smashes upon impact, spilling its contents. Immediately, the washer starts to overheat.
The Toblerone melts.
>Hit its LCD screen with something hard.
You pull your Bizarre Household Weapon out of your backpack and fire at the display. A direct hit!
The washer is knocked backwards, emitting sparks. It is now on fire.

You examplidentiDISTRESSED DENIM SKIRT TO THE CHEST
You are knocked backwards by the force of the insidious garment's impact.
Your foe appears to be not quite dead! There's no time to mess about here!
>Breathe in all the air around it. A fire needs oxygen to keep going, after all.
You attempt to breathe in all of the air, but instead inhale copious amounts of hot smoke, which makes you cough.

Perhaps you could tap into your captured fragment of Zalgo and enter a Superpowered Evil Side? It seems risky, but it doesn't look like you have any choice but to try. You need to end this fight, fast.
You close your eyes and attempt to focus your Wiki Magic.
Suddenly, everything goes quiet, and you can't smell the smoke anymore.
All you can hear is a faint buzzing noise, as though made by something very loud, but very far away.
You open your eyes.

You blink, and suddenly you're back in the laundry corridor.
What was that about? Your insides feel bruised all over, but somehow, that doesn't feel like a big deal right now. Actually, you feel oddly invigorated. You feel like you could do anything.
Huh. Glowing hands. That's new.

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?> Is the washing machine still a threat?
Ostensibly, yes. You blast the smoke out the way.
> If so, see if you get beam attacks or touches of death or something.
It seems that you do.
You blow up the washer-dryer. Clothes fly everywhere.
Your hands stop glowing.
You feel kind of drained.
You gained 4 experience points!
Your Experience Thimble overflows into your Experience Eggcup. You attain the rank of Bright Young Troper. Your Sprint, Genre Savvy and Putting Accuracy meters receive a boost.
It never stopped being a thing that was happening, and you knew I was going to say that.
These clothes are neither your size nor your style. You look ridiculous, but it's still better than nothing. You were getting tired of all the underwear-related humour, anyway.
>Proceed to Interview before anything else can stop you!
Time to get going. You reload your bizarre household weapon, using the space freed up in your backpack to hold the rest of your inventory. Then you head out the door.
This is the place.
Corner of Can Street and Greenwich Street.

> Then, set it from Kill cycle to Spin Dry.
