The lies, the filth! I just want to be clean!
WHO: The Vision
WHERE: The central fountain, followed by the lake to the south
WHAT: A gift or two for the Revivalists
WHEN: Afternoon through evening
WARNINGS: Probably none
The Soapmonger
Little surprise to anyone that had known his gardening hobby back in the Fleet, the Vision had gravitated quickly to the greenhouse and its related agriculture data point. The building is too big to explore in a single day, even a long Agri 10 day, but after some targeted searching he'd found a couple of important things. First, and most importantly, a good supply of the edible vegetables and fruits that will help sustain their small community.
Second, and probably more importantly, a supply of soap.
There are two kinds: a saponin plant discovered by Sansa that one can simply rip up and rub over one's body like soap, and a few bars of a trial soap made from one of the better-scented oils they've been able to press from some of the plants. It's made the old-fashioned way, mixed with ash and then pressed into bars with makeshift tools and the Vision's strength due to his ability to change density. To be most effective it should really cure for a few weeks at least, but for now? It's soap in familiar bars, and it should work passably well. He's even stamped it with a symbol - a little windrose.
"One bar each to start with, if you please. It will take some time to make more."
He hopes people like it.
The Shallow Lake
What's soap without somewhere to bathe? This watery area of the city was clearly not always like this - it's broad and shallow, and it looks like there are roads and parts of structures underneath. Is it coming from a buried spring? A busted water pipe? The Vision is curious and wants to investigate, but first they need to determine if the water is safe to go into.
It doesn't bother his skin, but given that he's an android, that's not saying much. Come along and help him investigate, or just splash around and test out that soap! There are probably parts where it's even pleasantly warmed by the sun. And he alternates between wading through and gliding above the water, looking for its source.
Alone Together
Slowly but surely, Wanda and the Vision have been making the abandoned shop area into a place they can feel comfortable staying, even if it will never be a home like that have back on Naviadna. But the liberal application of freshly-picked flowers, simple room dividers made of light wood and vines and broad jungle leaves, a fireplace for cooking set up in one corner, and a real wooden bedframe stuffed with the most comfortable leaves and scavenged blankets they can find. Things are beginning to shape up.
Later today he'll present his soap to the rest of the community, but the first dibs go to his wife. He's got two bars of the soap and a flowery-scented oil, and their biggest bucket heating water over the fire to get it warm.
"Now, I think we ought to be able to give your hair a proper wash."

The Shallow Lake
He's not certain what reception he'll get when he makes himself known, but he's also never been one to let doubts and worries get in the way. Those things are rarely beneficial, and he can't see a reason why they would be now.
Stepping a little closer, he clears his throat and says, "Nice day out, isn't it?" Yes, he's commenting on the weather. Insert any number of old man jokes here.

"It is rather nice out. I've been investigating this lake as a potential spot for cleaning up and doing laundry. What do you think?"
no subject
It sounds like mostly good things from what he's heard, which is good. From where he's standing, despite whatever happened in the past, both Wanda and Vision deserve good things. So he readily accepts Vision's handshake without too much thought.
"Looks like a good spot to me, clean, undisturbed, and relatively safe as far as I can tell." Who knows what could be lurking along its edges, though? But that's something that's a concern everywhere. "I think it's a good a spot as any."

"Given that the fountain is the only potable water at the moment, we shouldn't use it to clean ourselves unless we must. A bath in a lake--with properly biodegradable soap, of course--might be a little less than many of us are used to, but better than alerting all the local wildlife of our presence by our scent alone." Besides. Wanda likes to be clean. He can only imagine everyone else feels the same.
Even if the Vision himself can just phase all the dirt off of himself like a cheater.
