3rd Floor Girls' Room, Monday Morning

[living_endless]

For the most part, Didi liked being mortal. She loved food, she enjoyed sleep, and if there were things that were a little less enjoyable, the good parts of her life made up for it.

Then she woke up with a raging headache and a grinding cramp in her lower stomach. A few minutes later, she was in the girls' room, resting the back of her head against the cool tile as she tried to decode the instruction sheet from a box of tampons. It shouldn't have seemed nearly as complicated as it did, but, then, Didi had never exactly had to deal with this first-hand.

As soon as she'd sorted it all out, Didi vowed, she was going to eat her weight in Doritos. That might be enough to let her be her usual philosophical self about this.

As she climbed down the stairs to head to class, Raven sensed pain and confusion from the third floor. She could hardly ignore it, so she traced it back to its source. "Didi?" she said as she stepped into the bathroom and saw the other girl there.

[living_endless]

"Raven?" Didi said, with a wan smile as she looked up. "Hi. Go ahead, I'm not waiting for a stall or anything."

[trigons_child]

"I felt -- you are in pain," Raven said, crouching down by Didi. "What is wrong?"

Fortunately, perhaps due to her healer nature, Raven had never been cursed with cramps. Unfortunately, that meant she didn't know what was wrong with Didi and was liable to misinterpret her symptoms. As you do.

[living_endless]

"Nothing's wrong," Didi said, tucking the thing she was reading into her jeans pocket.

"I -- get to be a totally normal human female." A pause. "And today that completely sucks."

[trigons_child]

Being a normal female plus stomach pain plus morning brought one conclusion to Raven's mind. "Are you with child?" she said, eyes wide.

Leda wasn't feeling her best this morning herself. "Hey." she said, coming in to splash some water on her face and be close to facilities she felt like she might need.

"Didi right?"

[living_endless]

"Right," Didi said from her station near the sink. She was only mildly surprised to realize the other girl was a fairy of some kind. "Go ahead, the stalls are open."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Thanks." Leda sank into a sitting position before the toilet. Normally she preferred privacy for this sort of thing, but she was too tired just now to care. And just sitting here was making her feel better.

"I'm Leda. Nice to meet you."

[living_endless]

"Mmmm. Likewise," Didi said, and went to fiddle with her hair in the mirror. "You okay?"

Elena wasn't sure why her hair picked today to mutiny. She was growing it out, and for the most part it was behaving. Today? Today it had a mind of its own.

She was completely sick of having her hair in her face by the time she reached the third floor. Time to pop into the bathroom, wet down the errant strands, and see if she could pull together a not-too-awful-looking ponytail.

She noticed a girl curled up on the floor and frowned. "Cramps, or hangover?" she asked, already digging through her purse for painkillers. If it was the latter, she'd have to help the girl over to a stall, before she started throwing up.

[living_endless]

"Cramps," Didi said, wincing because ow. "Thanks for asking. I'll be out of your way in a sec."

[findingelena.livejournal.com]

"You're not in my way." Elena waved off the idea, still rooting through her purse. It teetered on the edge of the sink as she fumbled through it. "Need anything? Meds, heating pad, random shmo to kick in the balls?"

She glanced up, hoping to catch the other girl's eyes in the mirror, and grinned. "Maybe that last one's just me."

[living_endless]

"Nah, I already took some Tylenol," Didi said, grinning at the girl's expression in spite of herself. "I'm just waiting for them to kick in so I don't go kick my roommate in the balls."

She shifted on her perch. "I'm Didi."

[Heading home, back later!]

So, maybe this wasn't the girls' room on her floor, but there Jean was to check her hair obsessively because she could have sworn she saw a sparkle when she ran her hand through it on the way downstairs.

There would be hell to pay if someone got glitter in her omgperfectginger hair.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't realize anyone was in here."

[living_endless]

"I think it's Grand Central Station today," Didi snarked mildly. She'd moved over to sit on a radiator until she was feeling better. "Hi. Stalls are free, if you need one."

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"That busy?" Jean asked, peering into the mirror.

[living_endless]

"Maybe it's always like this?" Didi wondered. "I don't exactly hang out in here all the time. I'm just waiting for my cramps to go away before I subject my roommate to me again."

Someone was in overshare mode, yes.

"...Jeepers, something wrong?" Hayley said, tilting her head at Didi.

[living_endless]

Grand. Central. Station. Seriously.

"Nothing's wrong, I'm just a girl," Didi said, frowning down at her abdomen. "How are you, Hayley?"

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I'm just great," Hayley said. "Didn't get punched in the face last night, which is a big plus."

[living_endless]

"Oh, did you skip that club?" Didi asked, sounding perhaps a touch too interested.

[iamnotallgirl]

Jill stopped by the restroom to touch up her makeup and saw a girl who appeared to be in pain. "Hey, are you okay?"

[living_endless]

"Yeah, I'm fine," Didi confirmed, with a tiny smile. She was looking better, though her hands were still protective over her abdomen. "I was waiting for the Tylenol to kick in so I didn't make my roommate deal with me. Now I think I'm just waiting."

[iamnotallgirl]

"Tyleno--oh. Oh." Jill had never had to deal with this part, as Jack always had the PMS.

Actually, now that she thought about it, maybe that was part of why he was such a jerk.

"Do you want some chocolate? I have cookies. They're upstairs, but I could get them," she offered. "Or, um. Creamy peanut butter?" What? Jack was always bitching about it! Maybe it was a PMS thing!

[living_endless]

"Nah, I'm fine," Didi said. "But thank you."

A beat. "Are peanut butter cravings a thing?"
