Post 1 (cleaning) SPNer | Whovian | Sherlockian | | Artist | Cornhusker | Blackhawks Adelaide made her way into the Astrophysics lab, humming to herself. It had become quite a habit since she wasn't able to use her muggle music listening device in the castle. It was a hard adjustment, but one she had to make. It would just take some time (and a few more months) to get completely used to the lack of constant music around her.
She entered the room and gave a quick smile to anyone who had looked up at her. She made a beeline for somewhere near the corner, feeling most comfortable to work in peace there. She set her bag down before wandering over to grab a telescope.
When Flamsteed said they were dirty, he wasn't lying. She made sure not to hold the thing to close to her clothes, not wanting to ruin them with whatever icky gunk happened to be on the old telescopes. And the fact that they were to clean things the muggle way kind of gave her an advantage. It was the only way she knew how to clean so what else was she supposed to do?
Once the telescope was by her things, Adelaide grabbed some cleaning solution and a couple of towels and set to work. She poured some of the solution on the towel and lightly ran it over the very dirty telescope. Once that was done, she waited a moment before repeating the step. As she rubbed in circular motion, she made a disgusted face at the gunk that was starting to come off. She was definitely going to be showering after doing this. Not that she was a germaphobe, but this was just gross.
She continued as such until she'd rubbed over the whole telescope. She grabbed a fresh towel and wiped down the scope like she was supposed to. Addi looked at the scope. It was still incredibly dirty. She sighed, looking down at the practically soiled towels. This was going to take longer than she thought...and require a lot more towels.
