content warnings: discussion of menstruation and puberty, baus-related beast transformation, complex yet flippant feelings about dead mom stuff

[ Alice's body has been up to some distressing changes. She's under the impression that every single one of them are normal things that happen to a young maiden of a certain age, which is not entirely correct. She has questions, and absolutely does not trust any of the people she lives with to give her a correct answer. Hence, the decision to ask absolutely everyone in Trench at once, because shame is something that happens to other people. ]


I have that disease where you feel like crap and then blood clumps come out of your downstairs bits. How do you stop feeling so crap? This keeps happening every month and I'm fed up with it. My stomach hurts and I don't want to eat all the stuff I usually want to eat. Some of you old people have to know what to do about this, right??

I keep itching and growing hair in new places, too, when is that over with?

And you can't make fun of me for not knowing anything because I don't have a mom because she is dead, and also I will kick your butt if you make fun of me.

[ Yeah, that's a good way to ask for help. She has to be aggressive!! Otherwise people won't take her seriously!! ]

[ Alice gingerly takes the tea with her chin appendages and goes bleeeeah again, long-sufferingly. Slurrrrp. She does have the ability to eat politely and often uses it at the table but feels like she is owed the ability to put all that aside. ]

'S warm.

[occultfan]

It is tea, so I would have hoped so.

[Because who would think to make tea cold?]

I just hope that it helps, though if it doesn't I'm not sure what else I can do, but I can keep you company.

[velvet_teen]

[ Sip... slurp... ]

I want company. Can you read me something?

[occultfan]

I can o that, though I'm not sure what to read you?

[Alice she would just end up reading an occult book to you because that was the only book that she knew where it was.]

I can always try and think of a story though without reading a book.

[velvet_teen]

All right, but if it's not exciting I will fall asleep.

[ Which may be the ideal, here. ]

[occultfan]

[Not exciting might be a wise one, most of the stories she knows are more fairy tales and bedtime stories, so that actually might come in handy in this situation.]

Most stories I have are fairy tales I use to get read, so they might not be interesting since they were for kids. [She is now trying to think of a story where there is a lot of food involved.]

[velvet_teen]

Who cares who it's for as long as I like it?

[ This philosophy applies to stories as well as the last pudding in the fridge that somebody else was saving. ]

[occultfan]

Okay, I guess I will try the story of the Gingerbread Man...

[She tells the story of a childless old couple who are making gingerbread men and one comes to life and runs away. The old couple chase but the little gingerbread man manages to out run them. Said gingerbread man then proceeds to outrun various people such as farmers and even some animals. At least until a cunning fox comes along. The fox managed to catch the gingerbread man and eats him, thus ending the story.]

It's not a happy ending but... the story does have some meaning behind it and it has food which I thought you might like.

[velvet_teen]

[ Alice is clearly well on her way to sleep, and has scooched down so she's pressed up against Ada and her vaguely Oz-like warmth. ]

Food getting eaten... 's a happy ending. I'd eat him.

[occultfan]

[Ada was at least glad that she seemed to be falling asleep, so the story was at least working, which was good. Even though was the ending meant to be happy? It was at least for the fox because he got to eat, but not so much for the gingerbread man whose overconfident caused him to get eaten.]

Of course you would. I'm sure you would have enjoyed eating them. Now I hope you are able to sleep and dream of all the delicious food.
