3 Monster Friends [Voice] - Content Warning

[ The thing about having stunted growth, being raised by monsters, and then subsequently raised by a boy around your age, is that sometimes you miss out on being informed about key parts of life.

Arietta sniffles a few times before she manages to address the journal. ]

Is there a doctor... um... Can a doctor come here? A lady would be better... I think.

[ She takes a few unsteady breaths. ]

I don't know what happened. It won't stop bleeding...

Like you can kill me if you're bleeding so heavily that you're begging for help.

[Hey this is a twisted form of moral support, isn't it? Stay strong until you can kill Anise, Arietta...! 8D ]

Yeah, this is just, it's different. It's a thing that happens to girls. You're not dying though or anything. [Ten points to guess what Sheena thought when it happened to her.]

[And he's not really finding anyone here who could talk to her either. That is, someone she might actually trust. Not many from Auldrant would fall into that category, huh...]

If you're more comfortable speaking with a doctor, I'm sure there's someone at the clinic who could help you. Though I don't think it's the sort of thing you would need a doctor for... it's a normal process all girls go through as they get older.

[He's really not sure if this is more or less awkward to be talking about over the journals.]

[Hm. Her suspicions are slowly being confirmed.]

Doooo you mind if I come in? ...What's happening?

It.... [Yeah, it is. There's not really a way to say this that doesn't express how much this is going to suck in the future, is there? So she'll dodge the statement instead with:] It'll be all right, don't worry. I'll be there soon, okay?

[...Except they live on nearly opposite sides of the village, so even if Fenimore hustles, it won't probably feel soon. Still, she'll get over there as quickly as she can manage that. When she arrives, she will knock on the outside door, but, whether or not she gets an answer, she's going to let herself in and just keep knocking on doors until she finds an answer. She can't be waiting for people to answer, there are talks to be given!]

[tHERE'S NO TURNING BACK NOW...]

A-ah... If it's what I think it is, then... I'm not so sure that bandages would be able to help...

[...Or well, no. He knows they wouldn't. But you know.]

That's just your cycle. Every girl gets it sooner or later, so it's not something to be afraid of.

[She's not sure if anyone else is even explaining this, why did all the conversations here suddenly go private? :|;]

I don't want to leave here.

[ ION DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND HOW SCARY THIS IS 8( ]

I don't want to go through it. I want it to stop.

It's alright.

[ Luckily the floor is cleaned but some of the trash bins are full of dirtied bandages. ]

I can't get it to stop, so I'm staying in here.

[ Luckily within a knock or two Arietta will hear her and speak up. She has been waiting! ]

I'm in the bathroom...

[ NO. NO THIS IS SCARY. ]

Go away! I... I'm telling Ion!

[ ION WILL MAKE ANISE STOP. 8( ]

[ Solidarity high five. ]

... Are you sure?

[ Because apparently bleeding is something that shouldn't be talked about publicly even though all girls apparently do it? ]

What's a cycle?

I'm Arietta. I guess you can... I'm at number 47.

Then what do I do about it?

[ ~~SOB~~ ]

Um... between my legs. I don't think I did anything...

[ And she can follow the voice well enough to discover the bathroom. She'll make her way in and...well, at first glance, she notably underestimates Arietta's age and presumes that she's, if anything, an early bloomer rather than a late bloomer. The poor girl.

She puts on as gentle a smile as she can muster and speaks in as comforting a tone as she can manage. ]

Hey. How have you been holding up?

[Yeah, he's definitely starting to hear just how scared she must be. On the one hand, it really shouldn't surprise him that she doesn't know anything about this, but on the other hand...]

[He stops walking and looks down at the journal with a small frown for another moment or two, before changing to a comforting smile instead.]

You're going to be all right, there's nothing to be afraid of. Would you like me to come over? I'm not sure how qualified someone like me is to explain this sort of thing, but if I can be of any help at all...

[Wow sure go tattle to mommy when the going gets tough!!!]

[Oh snap. Anise is momentarily torn; she doesn't want Ion to see, but putting up filters would mean Arietta had won and she'd be gloating about it. And then probably telling Ion anyway. Assuming Arietta is clever enough to realize a filter had gone up.]

[Hmm.]

I can't believe you're hiding behind Ion. Can't you fight your own battles?

Absolutely sure. It's weird and you're totally justified in freaking out a little bit but I promise you're not dying.

It's the...bleeding, right?

[She edges the door open.]

[Oh.

...

Ooooh.

Okay he's got this no need to fret. It worries him more that this girl has no knowledge of what's going on. But!! He's here to inform. Just going to put up a filter for this girl's privacy.] Don't worry, what's happening is perfectly normal for a young lady. Is this the first time it's happened to you? How old are you?

Edited 2012-11-08 21:07 (UTC)

[Yeah, Yun doesn't get it, either.]

A cycle is like something that goes on for a certain amount of time and then starts over again. You know, like how the moon goes through all those phases and then starts over. In this case, a woman will bleed for a few days every month and then it'll stop until the next time next month.

Aha... T-that's... ah...

[HOW... SHOULD HE PUT THIS... wow he shouldn't have responded to this entry, huh...]

Perhaps you could ... put ... put a band-aid on it! [no]

Come here. [ Even if the idea of this being a different Ion than the one she knows and loves so dearly is still one she is struggling with, it's so easy to take comfort in his presence as she would her own Ion's.

And comfort is something she'd really like right now. ]

You always know how to help.
