Slock the Noble

When you take your laundry out of the washing machine and find money inside it's not that you forgot to check your pockets before you put it to wash, it's there because Slock pays back all the stuff and rubbish he takes from you while your clothes are spinning around in the washing machine. He picks all the bits and pieces he likes and falls in love with (shiny stuff if possible) and uses them, hanging them on his cloak as talismans. But how in the world can he meticulously pick or even select rigorously all those interesting bits while the drum is spinning so fast?! The answer is; he works in the middle. Actually, he can ONLY work in the middle and ONLY when the drum is spinning at its fastest where centrifugal force pushes all the clothes away from the center of the drum, creating a hollow. That's where Slock works at his best...He hovers in the middle as the clothes spin around him, and using his high tech magnetic antenae he attracts a collection together in front of him so that he can carefully selects all the interesting bits and pieces. When the washing machine stops he drains away with the water but not before he leaves behind some money for payment which explains the loose change or even a note you may find after washing your clothes.
