Video Post--Open to All--Restful Sleep Plan

[For once, her face isn't obscured by a concealing cowl, as Raven positions herself in front of the ICP's screen.]

Some of you might know me, but to others who don't as well as newcomers, I'm Raven. One of the healers on board the train. I come from Earth, around the 21st century of the common era, from Jump City in the United States of America.

[It's more background than she usually gives.]

I've been on the train for several months now, and one thing that's become very obvious is we have a lot of people who have trouble sleeping. It doesn't really matter what the route cause of the trouble is, be it insomnia or nightmares or anything else. I recently ordered some books from home, and have been trying to think of ways to help us. I have some ideas, and would definitely appreciate help. Either in crafting, where magic will be involved, or in buying stuff. Also, don't feel you need magic to help--I'll be providing most of the magic.

Some of it doesn't even need to be magic at all, like one of the simpler ideas. We have these window boxes of flowers on the train right? Could we grow lavender in them, to help promote calm and peace?

Most of my ideas involve mixing herbs and making sachets, tea, bath-tea bags, or infusions. I also suggest we order melatonin capsules. So if you want to help with making any of the above, I would be grateful.
The other idea I had, inspired by what Casper mentioned about a thing in his world, is to put amythyst 'dream catcher' crystals in every sleeper cabin. These would be in woven basket-bags, and be tuned to pull bad dreams and negative dreams in and away from the sleeper. They'd need to be purified every platform day though, which isn't too hard depending on how that purification would happen. We'd need a lot of these, as there are 8 sleeper cars now, with 5 cabins in each.

[That's the bulk of her plans. Lots of crafting going on mostly.]

I welcome collaboration and help, and if anyone has any better ideas, or concerns, please bring it up. All of this is designed to help us all be a little less stressed and anxious if we can be, since we're all stuck together. The train is both very large, and very small, after all.

[OOC: If people want, we CAN play out the actual crafting parts? Otherwise while this will take time, please feel free to handwave that you've helped Raven. I'm down for either.]

What about if the cause of the lack of sleep isn't nightmares or insomnia but something that is rather painful and honestly cannot be dealt with through normal means?

[Having a cursed eye is a pain in the ass when you can't actually hunt Akuma while away.]

I think I can do that anytime you are free.

[Not like he does much beyond eating or training with the occasional video game or movie.]

I'll give it an hour then so that you can focus on them first.

[Allen at least would keep his word about at least an hour, using that time to do other things instead. But when the time came he had made his way over, waving slightly.]

Hey, are you free now?

[He moved to come further in, all the while his mind is thinking over how exactly he was going to word the reasons he doesn't always get sleep at night.]

So... I mentioned the fact that my reasons for lack of sleep sometimes was slightly different than the usual. Well my reasoning is my left eye. It sometimes will activate during the night in search for something I honestly cannot find or fight. So it gets bothersome and painful because of it.

"It's a curse put on me when I was younger by Mana, someone I turned into an Akuma. The curse basically works in that when activated I am able to see the soul of the Akuma. So what it wants me to hunt is Akuma because that is what I am meant to be doing." He has put it on the back burner for a while now though due to not being at home and having to go from world to world to help others which he was perfectly okay with doing.

"Basically, but as for the putting asleep and staying asleep I have no way of knowing 100%" Because how would one really know if he was honest. Unless there was someone watching him while he was asleep or something.
