Rebooting....
"I think.. it might be... hold on a minute, I almost --" Jade started out trying to identify what she thought the machine could be, when Agate stuck her hand out towards the machine. Before the other Gem's hand could make contact, the machine made a sudden loud, CA CHUNK! CA CHUNK! CA CHUCHUCHUCHUkathump.
Jade covered her head with one arm, ducking, thinking something was on the verge of exploding, but only silence followed.

"Huh. Well whatever it was doing, it seems to have finished," she remarked, moving forward. "Is that a door?" she added, reaching for a round porthole-shaped door with a metal handle. Taking hold of the handle, she pulled. The door resisted at first, but then swung open. Inside was what seemed like a large metal barrel set on its side, and clinging to all the walls of that barrel was wet cloth of various colors.

"Oh good! Laundry's done" shouted a voice from the far end of the room. A small boy with brown curls and a flash of red gem peeking out from under his tee shirt came bounding across to the machine they had been bewildered by.

"S... Steven?" Jade asked in clear puzzlement.

"Ha, ha, yeah, hi guys, Garnet said you would be moving in so I decided to make sure you had clean blankets and stuff! I mean, I know Gems don't need to sleep or anything, but, you know, it's kind of a tradition to do a housewarming! Oh, that reminds me, I'm baking you a cake too! Gotta get these into the dryer," Steven explained as he pulled the various things out of what apparently was a washing machine and loaded them into a similar machine beside it, probably the dryer, "and then back to the kitchen! I'm making a carrot cake!"

Steven closed the door on the dryer, twisted some dials and pushed a button marked, "Start". The things inside could be seen through the glass in the door. Jade saw that they were tumbling around inside another barrel with tiny holes like the one in the 'washing machine', but the noise was a bit different.

"Uh.. oh, okay, thank you," she called belatedly after the now dashing-away Steven Universe.
