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.

[trigons_child]

"What did not get what?" Raven said, confused by the lack of segue between the wedding and the question. And because the mun was giggling about being difficult.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Wench. More so than the character.

"You're okay?" Dinah finally managed to blurt. "You didn't get hurt or... anything. While you were being all. Um. Professional?"

[trigons_child]

"I am well," Raven said slowly. "Physically. I think."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Whew. That's good." Especially considering how some Skywalker got shot and all. "Aside from the inevitable mortification, how're you doing?"

[trigons_child]

"I have spoken to one of my...clients," Raven said, ducking her head. "He is being a gentleman about it, which I appreciate. I came up her to try to recenter myself and see if I could determine where...whoever I was came from. I think perhaps my fear of losing control."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"I can imagine." This wasn't the kind of thing you could tease about too much. "It might have nothing to do with you, you know. Just a random tide of weird. Priestly ended up as a voice inside Dean Winchester's head."

[trigons_child]

"Perhaps," Raven mused. "I am not certain if random weirdness would make me feel better or not. Part of me wishes to have some sort of explanation, but another part is pleased to think that...she is not inside me somewhere."

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

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

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.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Hmm, no I never got that. That could have been cool. I was an orphan with a mysterious past. Which is, kinda the truth anyway."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Ahhhh," Dinah said wisely. "A lot of people ended up thinking they were related to people they're not related to as well. Very, very confusing."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Leda giggled. "I suppose all the folks who look like each other were suddenly twins. Hey I wonder if me and Gwynn were sisters."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"You don't remember?" Dinah said, amused. Also, not knowing Gwynn, she didn't know how appropriate that was.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Never ran into her. And being an orphan it would make sense for me not to know if I had any siblings."
