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."

With that in mind, he leans over to her ear so he can speak in a low voice. "I've no idea why you think I would object to that. Shall we watch the sunset this evening, then?" And he punctuates it with a quick kiss to the side of her head.
With Wanda's hair detangled successfully, the Vision begins to rinse out the oil. "Now, would you like me to braid this as well, or would you prefer to keep it down to dry faster?" They only have a few pieces of scavanged cloth to work as towels, so it's largely going to have to air-dry.

But a little extra care from Vision has gone a long way in restoring her body and spirit. Now she can properly enjoy their little date feeling like herself again and hopefully help Vision relax again too.
She shivers visibly, a soft sound escaping her at that tone in her husband's voice. "We can do both. It will be fun."
It's settled. They'll restore each other tonight.
"Let's leave it. I've kept it braided so much that it will be nice to feel the wind in my hair again." She catches his hand, first gently with her powers and then with her own to guide it to her lips. "And your fingers."

It had been trying not to be able to make chicken soup for her, though. Even he can do that - if there are chickens.
There are no chickens here.
Hair all rinsed out, the Vision is reaching out to grab one of the more absorbent pieces of cloth to towel it down and wring it out when his hand gets caught and he laughs. "Yes, and it will be nice not to have to worry about getting my fingers stuck in tangles," he agrees. He hates accidentally pulling at her hair, almost as much as he likes running his hands through it.
"Sunset, then, on top of the, er." He gestures in the direction of the communications tower, though he doesn't know its name or purpose yet. "That tall building to the west of the fountain?"
