Found near the back of the lodging house, the Queens newsies have a very large washroom with rows of sinks and mirrors, though most of them are cracked.

Mini walked into the wash room, tired and weary. It had been a long hard day of selling'. The people were buying the papers less and less and there seemed to be more and more newsies selling them. She didn't know where too sell anymore, especially in the Queens territory. By the time she got any where no one wanted a paper. She walked over to a sink and splashed some water on her face, trying the shake herself out of the thinking. She didn't want to think about selling newspapers, she wanted to relax. Sighing she leaned against the sink.

Mayhem stumbled into the washroom knocking over a small stool. "Darn it!" she said picking it back up and continuing on into the large room.
Three of the mirrors were cracked because of her. One of the sinks broken because of her. Mayhem just couldn't manage to go anywhere and not break something.
Mayhem noticed for the first time that there was someone else in the washroom.
'She must have had bad luck today as well.' Mayhem thought wearily.

Stranger scowled as she tried to scrub the ink off her fingers. Selling papers was not the cleanest job in the world. But still...
An exasperated sigh escaped her lips as she scrubbed harder. Why wouldn't it just come off?
The sound of a stool falling over made her jump, and she turned around. Seeing Mayhem, she smiled. Well, at least it was only a stool...

Mayhem saw that it was Stranger and she was a little bit relieved. Stranger knew what... well...Not being the most normal person was like. Mayhem liked that. She knew she wasn't the most normal person, causing destruction everywhere, but she was still a person. A person with her own unique personality.
"Heya Stranger. Sorry 'bout dat." Mayhem said, gesturing towards the stool.

She laughed, still scrubbing at her hands with little to no results. "If you had done something to the soap, then you should have apologized, but the stool... not my problem. How're you doing?"

"I'm...Well, things are normal. What 'bout you?" Mayhem replied and noticed her ink stained hands.
"I would try to help you wid dat, but I might..Break it.." Mayhem said showing no embarrassment or emotion at all.
She was used to having to tell people that she would break something if she got near it. That was her version of what she called "Life".

Stranger frowned. "You wouldn't break it. And, things are the way they always are for me. Confusing and as far away from normal as possible, but not so far away that a bird blew up on my way over here."
It was always a bit strange, trying to tell people how her day was. If she told them it was normal, it would be a lie. If she told them it wasn't normal, some would think that something big had happened. So, she settled for giving an explanation.

"A bird blew up...?" Mayhem asked confused. She started walking towards Stranger.
'CRACK' - Her foot went through a weak spot in the floor. Mayhem let out an exasperated screech and pulled her foot out of the hole.
She decided that maybe she should just stay where she was...

"A bird blew-- oh, no! I said that nothing exciting like that happened." She explained with a small giggle.
As the floor broke, Stranger jumped back and stared. "Wow... kinda looks like a bird."

"Well, when your around me...You should always expect something exciting to happen." Mayhem said biting her lip. She looked down at the foot that went through the floor. It was bloody and bruised.
"Maybe I should wash this up-"She winced when she took a step forward.
She hobbled over to the sink next to Stranger and swung her foot up into it, knocking a whole box of bathroom supplies - On the floor.
"Ah! Sorry 'bout dat..again.." Mayhem sighed.

"I'll be sure to note that... but exciting things are what make the day more... exciting." She pointed out with a half-smile.
As Mayhem knocked the box onto the floor, Stranger giggled and covered her mouth to mask the noise. "A-Are you okay?"

"It's just a few scratches." Mayhem said as she winced when the cold water ran down her ankle. "Nothing to serious." she continued, "Anyway, I'm used to this kinda stuff happenin' to me ya know?"
She searched around on the floor until she found a long and clean piece of cloth to dress her ankle.

Stranger turned to watch for a moment. "Well, look on the bright side. At least your bed didn't break..." She said with a somewhat comforting smile.

"Well...Actually..." Mayhem started and looked at her with a distressed look in her light brown eyes. She hoped Stranger got what she was implying because she didn't want to go into detail about how her bed had broken the moment she touched it.
