Also known as "how to get a coefficient boost from the most awkward moment of your life".
So I'm the youngest player in my session. Everyone else is at least three years older than I am, and I'm the only one who hadn't even started puberty yet.
And as the Mage of Time, I get to skip back and forth to weave together time-loops and keep the session from ending up doomed. So naturally, I'm ageing a lot faster than my co-players are - from their perspective, anyway. From mine, I'm ageing at a perfectly normal rate.
So one day, I come home to my spire to find myself there which isn't anything especially unusual. Except that the other me starts giving me The Talk. You know. The sex talk. How babies are born, if you aren't made of ectoslime, and what to do for my first cycle and all that.
And as if that weren't embarrassing enough, this ends up being a time loop so I have to go find out how I learned this and then I have to go back and give myself The Talk. And because this is just so damn bizarre, I get massive RP boosts.

Fun, fun. For the record, disposable menstrual products are (thankfully) easy to alchemize even if you land in a house that's populated exclusively by male products. (Or during the ten minutes of your cruxtruder countdown you can try to run for the nearest convenience store.)
I once played with a young woman who swore by the reusable ones. At the time I pretty much dismissed it. With the Life aspect though I'm beginning to suspect that there's something to those cups and cloth pads. They're harder to find alchemy recipes for, but she gave me a couple from the Recipe Modus?
Maybe I should write an FAQ about this.

I've had to give 'The Talk' a few times myself, though never to myself. That sounds incredibly awkward.
Ruth liked to rant a lot about how stupid it was when she hit puberty, if I recall. But she was always disgusted by anything that reminded her that she was still made of squishy meat instead of steel and circuits.

The worst part of being an adult in a session full of adolescents.
Frogs, at least some of them are "In the know" already 8T

...I feel like we ought to throw you a party or something. Welcome to womanhood! Lets have a bonfire and smoke organic weed and we can all play our favorite fraymotifs acoustic on the guitar. We'll all wear red hats and tell stories about mother goddesses.
Or we could congratulate you in a slightly less public-humiliation-y way. That could be a thing too.
Seriously though, teasing aside, grats on making it this far. Women are tough as shit for dealing with that stuff every month.
