"Oh i'm an age progression victim too hun!" Clara said as she helped the old woman down the stairs. "In fact just this morning I saw what looks like the beginning of crows feet around my eyes! Can you believe it? I'm supposed to be 28! In the prime of my life! Lexa knows what i'm talking about!" She calls out to the menopausal med student squinting to read Skyler's name tag.

“Ouch” Lexa mumbled as she chewed on her muffin, feeling the shade thrown by the ancient woman from across the room.
She sidles over to Skyler as she peruses the snack table and leans in. Quietly: “So you ever been to one of these things before because I gotta say, our fearless leader over there has an... interesting approach.”

"Lucky." Kayla mutters in what seems to be a barely audible tone to her, but is actually quite loud. After she tentatively places her foot on the floor, her shaking hands reach for the comfortable grips on her wheeled walking frame, beginning to plod forward towards the rest of the group, her chained glasses resting upon her face. Seeing Lexa whispering to Skyler, she heads over there, especially as Skyler is the most aged woman present, apart from her of course.

Quietly: “So you ever been to one of these things before because I gotta say, our fearless leader over there has an... interesting approach.” Skyler snickers, replying, "Yeah, no shit! This 'I'm old like you guys' act is gonna get old QUICK. She has no idea what it's like to be this old...looking. Ugh, I need to go sit down..."
Skyler turns to head to a seat when she sees an older woman, even older than her, approaching her.

Despite only being about 30 feet away, Kayla still takes at least 15 seconds to come over to Skyler as she waits in mild discomfort. As Kayla pulls up to you, she leans forward slightly. "Hey, is it just me or is Clara kinda pissing you off? I know you're a bit...younger than me" she cringes slightly at this, seeing your apparent age. "But surely you're feeling the same way about her absurd attitude, right?" After saying this, Kayla turns around her rolling frame, before sitting down slowly onto a padded seat inside it with a grimace.

"Yes, absolutely it's pissing me off," replied Skyler. "I can't wait to hear how she got in her predicament. I'm certain it's nowhere near as devestating as having a youth-draining monster attack your high school, age-ify all of your friends, make you old and then do the same to your girlfriend! Anyway..." Skyler says, trying to compose herself. "I'm sorry if I flew off the handle. I'm supposed to be starting college in the fall and I didn't exactly thing I would be going like this." Skyler raises her arms slightly, referencing her old, saggy body.

Kayla winces sympathetically. "Oh, that's almost as bad as mine." she says. "And yes, but even the worst possible way of aging wouldn't change the fact that she only lost four years of her life while I lost seventy." Kayla remarks pensively. "Oh don't worry dear, I think we've all lost out on life because of this...except maybe her." she wheezes, shooting Clara a dirty look while her back is turned.

Lexa watches the two old women commiserate while shooting occasional glares over at Clara, who seemed oblivious to the whole situation.
Lexa sipped coffee from her styrofoam cup, needing the burst of caffeine to get her old gears turning.
”Oh yeah. This is gonna be just greeeeeat.”

Clara is indeed oblivious to the dirty looks she's getting from the old biddies as she brushes herself off and bounces over to the front of the room.
"Okay ladies! There may be a few late comers on their way which are welcome to come in and join whenever they get here but I think this is a good size to go ahead and get started." She says with a big smile motioning for the women hovering around to grab seats next to the elderly women.
She glaces down at her notes and sees "friendly banter" bullet pointed at the top of her agenda. Looking around at all the women name tags she smiles and nods.
"Okay so it looks like we are all millennials or gen Zers here!.. outward appearances aside of course." She says with a small laugh. "So what'd you all think of the new Arianna Grande album?" She asks trying to find a neutral topic that all the women could realte to.

“Oh my God—“ Lexa chokes as she nearly spits out her coffee.
Holy shit. That’s what she’s opening with? - she thinks, hoping no one noticed.
Wait? Did I say that out loud?

Kayla snorts loudly at Lexa's blurted out comment. "Sorry, they don't play the latest music in the nursing home." She comments sarcastically, rolling her eyes behind her thick glasses.

Clara looked around at the group who all acted like her question was a bad one. "Oh good was that insensitive because some of you are hard of hearing? I'm sorry. I'm a bit new at this. I've only been hosting it for a few weeks. So feel free to give me feedback on how to make this better for you all! I want you all to keep coming back! I don't see any of the gals from last week... Oh good I hope they all didn't doe of old age. Okay, okay, let's keep this positive! So our mission in this group is to meet and share our stories with other girls that have gone through the same harrowing experience of having our youth and beauty stolen and thrust into an advanced age before our time. This is a safe space. So share as much as you feel confortable. Ask questions. Be respectful. Remember that it's our age on the inside that counts!... Now then..." She says glancing at the next bullet point on her agenda. "Who would like to share their story with the group first?" She asks with a hopeful smile clutching her agenda with both hands.

“I guess I’ll go,” said Skyler with a sense of hesitance.
“Basically this monster, a...donkeyvac as they ended up calling it, attacked my school. One by one my friends were robbed of their youth. I didn’t know where it came from or why it was doing what it did. I just ran. I ran and ran until I finally found my girlfriend Amy in the gymnasium...that was our secret spot. But then...if found me. And it fired its laser at me. The blue light engulfed me. It felt warm, I hadn’t expected it to feel warm as the youth was sucked out of me. I could feel my skin shrivel and sag as I became old. They said the effects would only last a month...this all happened 6 months ago...”
Skyler lowered her head in distress, now reminded of all the trauma she had been through.

Clara claps enthusiastically, a tear pooling in her eye. "You're a very brave YOUNG woman Skyler. Thank you for sharing your story. "Who would like to share next?" She asks wiping the tear away.
