Damn You, Lucid Manor (Open!)

[santacat]

Ella felt hideous. She hadn't taken a shower in days, and her hair was matted like a rat's nest. She combed her fingers through it with swiftness that showed she had years of experience doing it. Untangling hair, that was. She liked the feel of water on her skin; it made her calmer, like swimming while standing up. She closed her eyes and imagined that she was bathing in a lake. Closing her eyes helped her fingers work faster, spreading the shampoo across her scalp. The inside of the shower was a blinding white, so in her mind she dulled it down to a nice mint green. That was better. She sighed and started rinsing the shampoo out of her hair when the water suddenly cut off. Damn you, Lucid Manor. You dare stop a girl from washing her hair? She made a frustrated noise, stamping her foot; which wasn't a smart move, seeing as it made her slip and hit her head on the wall.

"Owwwwww....." she moaned quietly. That hurt. The walls weren't just bright, they felt like cement. The collision had raised a small bump on her head, and she winced when she touched it. "Could someone bring me a towel?!" she screeched, now upset. Oh no, you didn't stop a girl from showering. Ever. She was normally in a better mood than this, but if she was forced to let shampoo dry in her hair... there would be trouble. One of the guards at the door said something about the showers being timed, so she stamped out of the shower without a towel, giggling at the shocked faces of other patients. Even the guards themselves looked surprised. Maybe they had thought that she would be too modest to risk getting her own towel. These people were silly, they had bodies too, didn't they? Especially the girls. Girls had better bodies than boys. Maybe the expression on the boys' faces was jealousy, then. She giggled once more, then snatched a towel and secured it around herself before starting to wash her hair in the sink. The others had already began filing out, and she ignored the orders that the guards shouted for her to leave too. She was getting good at ignoring people. Eventually the guards gave up and left her alone while she finished rinsing her hair. Her neck hurt from leaning over for so long, and that water was cold. There was still soap on other parts of her body... selective parts, so she would just wash them later. She flipped her hair in front of her face and started wringing it out, letting the water drain down the sink. Ow ow ow. Her head hurt, her neck hurt. Stupid asylum, they had high-end everything, but it looked like they didn't have high-end water supplies. Smiling to herself, she went over to the small cabinets that the patients stored their clothes in and started rummaging around for her own, still wrapped in a towel.
