The Roof, Monday Afternoon

[trigons_child]

After class, Raven retreated to the roof. She was still completely out of sorts from being a dominatrix over the weekend and punishing and whipping her "clients." She needed some hardcore meditation to re-center herself.

Wait, hardcore was probably not the word she was looking for.

Jack, at least, was being a perfect gentleman about things, which made it much easier to deal with. Two of the men were strangers, so hopefully she would never see them again. Which mostly just left Dinah, Aphrodite, Hannibal, Max, any lingering weirdness with Joan...and Merlin. The memory of how he'd looked at her made her shudder.

On the bright side, she hadn't misused her powers again, right?

Dinah had actually been out looking for other distressed people, having coped with Priestly already, and teased Merlin. Just a little.

Hello to the next bit of Awkward. "Hey, Raven."

[trigons_child]

Raven was sitting cross-legged near the garden, lost in though, but she looked up at Dinah's voice. And blushed. "Hello, Dinah," she said.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah sat down next to her, imitating her posture, and said, "I could get you a pizza, if that would help? That's what I did for Priestly." Because, wow. Mistress Raven. Nope. Wasn't going to stop being boggle-worthy any time soon.

"I do not understand what came over me," Raven said softly. "But I apologize for what I said to you. That was not truly me."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"I know." Dinah bumped her shoulder against Raven's, dropping her internal shields a bit so Raven would know she was telling the truth. "And you don't have to apologize, 'cause, well, not-you." Her lips twitched. "From one angle, that was ... kinda flattering. Not an insult, you know?"

[trigons_child]

"You were entirely yourself?" Raven asked, relaxing a little. "So many I encountered were clearly not." She shook her head. "I am just glad that Professor Skywalker did not see me." Not that he would've known her himself, but she didn't know that part yet.

"Yeah, I lucked out. Somehow. Guess after truth days and singing days and little kid days, the Island decided to give me a break." She smiled and shook her head. "Honestly, nobody has room to throw stones anyway, Raven. I went to the world's weirdest overdramatic wedding over the weekend." Dinah tilted her head, remembering her concerns about Raven when she ran into her. "It didn't get... um." Flail. Greeeat.

"Hiya Dinah." She loved it when she didn't even have to change someone's name in order to make a rhyme.

Dinah looked up, and smiled. "Hey, Leda. You recovered yet?"

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Pretty much. I hardly noticed much change really." Well, actually there might have been some actual clues to her past in this weekend, but she was carefully forgetting them. "You?"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Nothing happened to me. Just kind of boggled at everyone else." And got out the popcorn a few times. "Glad you're okay, then."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"What happened to some of the others. I was kinda wrapped up in my own...story I guess."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah laughed. "Was it a good story, at least? Oh, hey, did you have a random soundtrack in the background?" That kept happening when she was talking to some people.

Diana has been listening to radio all weekend (and had kept copies for later) so she figured finding her roommate at some point might be a good thing. She just didn't expect to have to go all the way up to the roof. "Hey."

[trigons_child]

"Hello, Diana," Raven said. She didn't remember seeing her roommate at all over the weekend, so she had no idea what her state of mind might be. "Are you well?"

[oops-mbad.livejournal.com]

Diana was probably one of the few non-traumatized people running around. "Yeah, weekended didn't affect me. How are you?"

[trigons_child]

"You are fortunate," Raven said, just a tiny bit jealous. "I am myself again, thankfully."

[oops-mbad.livejournal.com]

"That's good to hear." Diana said, agreeing with the first comment. "You okay? Need anything?"

[trigons_child]

Raven managed a half-smile. "I believe the term is 'brain bleach'?"

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Leda had gotten off light with the whole Soap Opera thing. Well unless you count being prepared to stab Jack multiple times and toss him off the roof. Because there was a vibe of him being prepared to do the same to her.

But nothing had really happened so...

"Hey Rachel."

[trigons_child]

"Hello, Leda," Raven said. "How are you today?"

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"I'm all right. How about you?"

[trigons_child]

"I am well, thank you," Raven said.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"That's good. I don't know what happened to everyone this past weekend, but I imagine it could mess some people up."

[trigons_child]

Raven nodded. "Very much so," she said. "Some people are probably quite upset." Including herself.
