Girls' bathroom- Saturday late morning

Maddie had finally been able to upload icons woken up late. It was one of the cool things about being here, getting to sleep in however late you wanted without having anywhere to be most days and she was planning to take advantage of that as much as possible.

Eyes still blurry with sleep, she got all the way to the sink to brush her teeth, looked in the mirror... paused... touched her face and saw that yes, it totally seemed to be her face...

Forgive the "AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" from inside the bathroom, everyone. It was her first time.

That was a pretty loud "AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" Loud enough to detour a similarly late-waking Ace from her shuffling toward the 4th floor's loo, down the stairs to the 2nd.

"What's going on?" she asked, scouting the place for rampaging gremlins or sudden lava spills.

She might not have had to ask if she'd looked in the mirror before she left her dorm room, but no. Not so much.

"I'm a boy!" Maddie said, running a hand through what was left of her hair like that would bring the rest of it back. "People warned me about this but it wasn't supposed to actually happen!"

Ugh, and her boobs were gone, too. She didn't have much there to begin with, but this was just insulting.

"...So you are." Ace frowned. "You do know you're in the girls' room, right?"

Give her a break; she was still sleepy. Also, that frown turned quickly enough to a what-the-sodding-fuck face, once she heard her own voice. "Waaaaaaitaminnit..."

"You do know you're in the girls' room, right?" Maddie asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I am a--"

And then there was the mirror. "Gordon Bennett!"

[identity profile] mummyspromdate.livejournal.com 2013-01-27 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
That was a new phrase.

"...Is that your name?"

Well, she'd brought that one on herself. "No, it's just a thing you say," said she, running a hand over her -- stubble covered! -- cheek. "Like bloody hell only in front of your gran. I'm Ace."

[identity profile] mummyspromdate.livejournal.com 2013-01-27 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Maddie. I don't normally look like this," she said, probably unnecessarily at this point. "And I don't think I've ever said bloody hell."

"Nor me." Fine, the cheeks might be hers, but she did not have what was clearly going to be a receding hairline in ten years. "Look like this, I mean. I say bloody hell all the time."

The world was shocked by that revelation. Really. "You probably say 'Holy Crap!' Same diff."

Except for how Ace should never, never try to do an American accent, ever.

"Or I just scream like a girl even when I'm not one," Maddie said, frowning in the mirror again just in case that helped somehow.

Ace, who tended not to scream like a girl even when she was one, still felt like she ought to say something reassuring. "Nah, you didn't sound like a girl. More like a dying pigeon or something."

That... probably wasn't it.

[identity profile] mummyspromdate.livejournal.com 2013-01-27 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
"That's... comforting?" Maddie tried, because no one wanted to sound like a dying pigeon.

[identity profile] upmysleeve.livejournal.com 2013-01-27 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Not even a dying pigeon, who, given the choice, would probably rather sound like a miraculously recovering pigeon.

"I try." Still studying her reflection, Ace made a number of faces at herself, some of them more amusing than others. "Could be worse, I guess? This happened to one of my mates only the other way round. I had to help teach him how to put on a bra."

"Why couldn't I have been here for that time?" She'd at least find that funny! "How often does this happen?"
ext_1340895: (z || boy (wtf))

[identity profile] upmysleeve.livejournal.com 2013-01-27 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
"Dunno." Ace shrugged. "I've only been here since summer. Since then it's been once with the boys, and now."

[identity profile] mummyspromdate.livejournal.com 2013-01-27 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Maybe this means it's the only time this will happen."

So hopeful, that Maddie. So very, very hopeful.

"Could be." Ace didn't really believe that, but sometimes she could manage comforting. Sometimes. "The island's always throwing something new at you, after all. It wouldn't want to get boring. Next time we'll all turn into giant robots." Which would be AWESOME.

[identity profile] mummyspromdate.livejournal.com 2013-01-27 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
"Why would we turn into giant robots?" Which wasn't to say Maddie was opposed. Though she'd probably accidentally step on the clinic or something.

"'Cos it's cool?" Which certain cynical people might say was reason enough for Fandom to never make it happen. "Why would we turn into boys?" Ace pointed out.

[identity profile] mummyspromdate.livejournal.com 2013-01-27 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
"The island trying to teach us a lesson about understanding the other gender?" It could be a thing!

"Hmm. Fair enough." Ace flicked the tap in front of her to gather some cold water and run it through her shorter and much more sleep-fuzzy hair. "There's got to be some lessons we could learn about understanding giant robots, though, right?"

That they could be learned (and should have been) in Intro To Robotics class was beside the point.
