3 Monster Friends [Voice] - Content Warning

[wildlittlegirl]

[ 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...

[Gasp! Asch's house? She must be his friend! Which automatically makes her Rapunzel's friend, too.]

I'll be right over!

voice;

[wildlittlegirl]

[ "Friend", yes sure. They can go with that! ]

Okay.

[ She won't be moving from the toilet without convincing. Yup. ]

action;

[gleamed]

[Rapunzel darts right over to house 47, and after finding no answer at the door after knocking for few minutes, edges the front door open cautiously.]

Um - helloooooooo? Anybody home? [She's got the right place, doesn't she?]

action;

[wildlittlegirl]

[ She does! From across the room comes a muffled sniffle. ]

I'm in the bathroom.

[ The door is slightly cracked, since she closed it in a panic and didn't get it all the way shut. ]

action;

[gleamed]

[Hm. Her suspicions are slowly being confirmed.]

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

action;

[wildlittlegirl]

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.

action;

[gleamed]

It's the...bleeding, right?

[She edges the door open.]

action;

[wildlittlegirl]

Yes.

[ She is sitting on the toilet without any clothes on her lower half. Aside from the nearly empty toilet paper roll, the the mess in the trash bin next to her, and the distress on her face, things in the bathroom seem pretty normal. ]

I tried using bandages but they didn't work...

Oh, my name's Arietta. [ Introductions, what are. ]

action;

[gleamed]

[She smiles kindly.] It's nice to meet you, Arietta. I'm Rapunzel.

[And while she was a healer, this...was something she'd never helped anyone with before. But she remembers how scary it had been when she'd started, too - she's got to stick with what she knows.]

Here - I brought something for you. [It is, as one might expect, a sanitary napkin.] You put on the inside of your underwear and it absorbs the bleeding so you don't have to stay in the bathroom the whole time.

action;

[wildlittlegirl]

[ what is this magical item ]

It's not going to stop?

action;

[gleamed]

Noooot for a few days?

[Yeah.]

action;

[wildlittlegirl]

Days?!

[ D8 ]

I don't want it to take that long!

action;

[gleamed]

Well, that's usually how long it takes for me...but it stops hurting after the first day or so.

[It could be different for everyone. WHO KNOWS. She didn't exactly have a well-rounded education about these things.]

action;

[wildlittlegirl]

What do I do when I'm asleep? [ She looks at the napkin again. ] Does this still work when I'm lying down?

action;

[gleamed]

Moooost of the time? [Wow, way to sound reassuring, Rapunzel.] I mean, yes. It does!

action;

[wildlittlegirl]

[ 8|;; ]

Um... can you go get some underwear for me? The only one I have here is dirty.

action;

[gleamed]

Oh - of course! Where do you keep it?

action;

[wildlittlegirl]

It's in the bottom drawer in my room.

[ ... Her room is the one that looks like the little girl's room. |D ]

action;

[gleamed]

Right. I'll be right back.

[And so she does go locate a room that could only be a little girl's, and is back a moment later with the clean underwear.]

action;

[wildlittlegirl]

[ Rapunzel you are lovely ;;

Arietta will take a moment to try to put these two puzzle pieces together.

To her credit, she gets it mostly right. ]

Like this?

action;

[gleamed]

[She tries.]

Yes! Yes. That's basically it. That should keep it from ruining anymore of your underwear.

action;

[wildlittlegirl]

... If I put it on then I can stand up again?

[ Please say yes please say yes ]

action;

[gleamed]

[She nods.] Yes! You can do pretty much everything you normally do. Though you might be more tired than normal. It's probably best if you take it easy for the rest of the day.

action;

[wildlittlegirl]

Alright. ... Thank you. [ She will set to work putting them on and flushing and all that miscellaneous stuff that goes into her getting off the toilet.

And then heeeeeeeesitantly standing up. ]

action;

[gleamed]

[Rapunzel offers her a sympathetic look.]

It's not so bad! And it only happens once a month!
