First Floor Rec Room / Kappa Delta Gremlin Sorority Meeting / Tuesday Afternoon

[icecoldfrost]

"Yesterday's class on sexual education and contraception was incomplete and ridiculous," Emma stated once everyone had arrived. "So. We are going to discuss this properly, and have some 'girl talk' while we are at it."

"As Emma said," Quinn noted, "there's a lot more to talk about than making water balloons. Personally, I think abstinence is the best path for most people in high school. It takes self-control and creativity" -- said in a tone that almost doubted the existence of either of those things in her peers -- "but you can't get pregnant or catch a disease that way. If you aren't sure, your best choice is to wait. If waiting is hard? Pray. Or leave the room. Or start talking about something totally unrelated to sex until you're both too distracted to keep going."

She could have gone on for a while, and once upon a time she would have, but somehow actually having had sex made talking about not having sex that much harder.

"Not that Quinn would know anything about getting too distracted," Emma offered brightly. The telepath knows, Quinn, SHE KNOWS. "For those of you not in the school-approved class, there are a number of contraceptives in this time and place meant to prevent sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy. The options range from medication to a number of devices, some of which I have handwavily procured handouts or samples for."

New York. Emma's powers. She wasn't saying how she'd talked the people at Planned Parenthood into giving her an overly-large selection of condoms, lube, and handouts on birth control and family planning, but it wasn't hard to guess.

If Quinn was pink and looking everywhere but at Emma, it was down to the heat in the room and nothing more. Really.

"And if you have a question," she added, with deliberate brightness, "You can write it down and drop it in this bowl and we'll do our best to get an answer for you before the end of the meeting."

Mingle & Snack

[icecoldfrost]

The usual chips, cookies, and fruit slices were available for munching throughout the meeting.

Re: Mingle & Snack

Rilla was going to be way over here clutching her cookies and wondering about all of them.

Re: Mingle & Snack

[icecoldfrost]

Emma managed not to laugh at Rilla's expression. "Are you going to faint?" she asked bluntly, although not unkindly. "If so, I'll get you some water."

Ariel sighed as she looked through her thick-framed glasses at the typical mainstream selection of snacks being available. Ugh.

She certainly hoped everyone realized that she was only a part of this sorority ironically.

It was a sign of extreme boredom that Peter Bishop had wandered into the rec room during the sorority meeting.

It was a possibly a sign of suicidal tendencies that he had a digital camcorder with him.

He didn't even say anything, just walked in and started filming.

[ooc: And I will respond to any shooings or thrown items after I get back from class. I blame twitter for encouraging me. And now with 100% more in the right thread!]

Emma immediately scooped up a condom from her vantage point at the goodies and lobbed it at his head. "I know where you sleep, Bishop," she threatened. "Shoo, girls only."

"Ohmygosh." Bespectacled Ariel gawked openly when she spotted Peter in the meeting. "Yes. Take that, gender restriction oppressive bullshit; Peter, I fully support your way to escape the mainstream and totally embrace gender neutrality."

Which then meant a significant pause, followed by, "Can I borrow one of your shirts? And you can totally borrow my skinny jeans."

Samples, Literature, and THE BOWL

[icecoldfrost]

Drop your questions that you're too afraid to ask out-loud in the bowl, and the girls will get to them in a moment. Until then, Emma scored moddable samples of everything from NuvaRing to condoms, and there's tons of literature about sexual health and birth control.

Someone had fun, oh yes.

GirlTalk

[icecoldfrost]

Settle in on a couch and gossip! Make it a free-for-all! In a few moments, Emma and Quinn will grab The Bowl and start reading out questions for people to discuss.

Karla offered, "Uhh, Warren and I have something called the pants rule. It's really easy to guess how it works--one of us is always wearing pants. Not a skirt, not shorts, not something easily removable. Pants. This way, running the risk of getting caught up in the moment is slightly lessened, because we have to take that extra time."

And then moving quickly on in the futile hope that Emma wouldn't notice the switch back to present tense, she added, "My people use a contraceptive brew, back home. A cup a day will keep you from conceiving. It works whether it's just you or your boyfriend drinking it, but it's better if you both do, of course. It's one hundred percent effective so long as you remember every day, but if you're both drinking it, it minimizes the chance of you both forgetting one morning." Calling in her supplies, she tossed a few into the pile. "I'll be happy to make as many as needed," she added.

Re: GirlTalk

[icecoldfrost]

Oh, Emma caught it, and Karla was given the look of 'We will Discuss this later, young lady.' Firmly.

"Which actually brings up a good point," Emma said briskly. "Should you decided to engage in sexual activity - and again, you do not have to if you do not want to or do not feel ready - do not think you can mix & match. While you could chose to use a condom and birth control, you cannot decide to drink Karla's tea one day and take a pill the next day. It doesn't work like that and your body may hate you."

"And always, always, consult with a doctor before changing methods. You need to be safe and healthy, and that includes informed decisions."

Re: GirlTalk

Ariel and her glasses and skinny jeans and scarves could only sigh and shake her head.

"Livebearing so so mainstream," she bemoaned. "I think we should all go back to egglaying. I've actually been thinking of looking into mouthbrooding..."

Re: GirlTalk

[icecoldfrost]

Emma just blinked.

"Are you high?"

Look, Ariel was speaking gibberish and dressed like a homeless person - and Emma knew what homeless people looked like, thank you - which were clear signs that she'd either gotten a bad bag or been hit upside the head a wee-bit too hard for being too perky.

Elphaba hovered over to the side. To observe.

She had nothing to add, really. Not due to any moral objections, simply because she didn't have any experience in the matter.

Talk to the Organizers

[icecoldfrost]

If you need a private tête-à-tête.

Re: Talk to the Organizers

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

Quinn didn't look irritated at Emma. At all. Why would anyone think that?

She'd actually be grateful for questions that would give her something to do.

Talk to Miss Porter

[icecoldfrost]

Once she arrives!

Re: Talk to Miss Porter

[bootlessjane.livejournal.com]

Oh, my, goodness.

Jane had to admit, she was quite glad that girls of this century could be far more outspoken about things such as...er...romance...and the like, but that didn't make it any less of a shock for her that they could be so frank and blunt! And she knew herself to be quite liberal in that sort of thing, compared to some of the other young ladies she knew. So it was with a bright blush on her face and a desperate desire for a fan that Jane took to her advisorly tasks today...and she hoped it wasn't too obvious that she was paying particular attention. She had, after all, at least a few more years until she knew she'd have to dedicate herself entirely to spinsterhood!

Rilla was just going to hide stand over here by the nice teacher who dressed like she did, if that was all right.

Using this icon because my partner-in-crime loves my choice of keywords. And I enjoy earworming people.

Re: OOC

Yeah, Quinn's celibacy club shpiel comes with a big her-not-me disclaimer. Which I am sure shocks every single one of you.

Re: OOC

Ho.
