The Emperor's New Home

Kashia and Sevanius arrived at Ms E's flat not knowing how much there was to do. They had offered to help unpack boxes, which could result in many different types of mission.

Once they'd entered, they saw that Ms E had unpacked a few essentials and still had 2 rooms filled with boxes. The pair thought this could turn into a mission where they spent more time talking about what to do with items than actually unpacking them and placing them in a useful spot in the flat. Little did they know, the E in Ms E stood for "Empress".

The first boxes that Ms E's subjects were asked to find were a clothes airer and Ms E's hoover. Sevanius could see a hoover near the door to the spare room, bingo! Alas not, that was not the vacuum cleaner that Ms E was looking for. A moment later, Sevanius discovered a Henry Hoover box. This looked promising, but didn't contain the anthropomorphic hoover. Kashia dove further into the room in search of the clothes airer and found it, then also spotted a hoover handle near the back window. They had finally hit Ms E's top priorities!

Next, Kashia went hunting for a clothes rail and Sevanius worked through a stacked pile of boxes. With the clothes rail found, Kashia started unpacking boxes of clothes located in the bedroom. Ms E was very clear with her instructions, she didn't mess around. Each box and item found was given a 👍 to keep it or a 👎 to discard. Sevanius received a 👎 to a box full of old medicines, the other hoover and a TV which were thrown away or left in a common area to be picked up by other residents. Kashia on the other hand was given a disapprove to unpacking jumpers and sweatshirts which were to be kept in boxes until next winter.

Half way through the mission, Kashia's clothes rail was already looking full of tunics and robes. Ms E however had other ideas and wanted to unpack more and more onto the rail. Kashia obliged - how could she not when working for the Empress - and by the end, was trying to squeeze hangers onto the metal pole.

Sevanius on the other hand had found all sorts, from a box full of shoes, through towels and bedding to tins of food and storage containers for the kitchen. Each was directed into the appropriate spot for future unpacking by Ms E.

At the end of the mission, 10 boxes had been emptied and recycled, with many more items given away. Looking back into the spare room though, Kashia and Sevanius had only made a small dent in the Empress' impressive box collection. There will be more GoodGym missions to come, no doubt.
