[Video]

[ Della's face pops up looking... well, like everyone else - exhausted physically, mentally, and emotionally. She smacks her beak a bit, before speaking. ]


... So. That sucked.

[ Fully aware that's the understatement of the century, Della draws a breath, and tries again. ]

I think we could all use a nice, long breather after everything... and, gosh darn it, as Train Mom, that is my sacred duty. Hugs? Head on the lap? Head-pats telling you that you did a good job? A shoulder to cry on? Venting out all your feelings without judgement? I'm right here.

[ She slaps her chest, then slaps a small sign on on the sports/gym car. It reads

EXHAUST PILE WITHIN

But as she does this, Tidus enters the scene - Della jumps, surprised, almost forgetting his presence.

He just smiles, holding up two cups with steam coming off them, then addresses the video feed as well. ]


We're also making big batches of cocoa too. Any of you that're gonna stress bake? There's room for that room - s'long as you don't need a nap first.

[ It's a small chide though, his smile small but sympathetic. ]

I've gotten out some incense pots from the supplies - you guys who got your head thrown into a blender by that aash-- uh, that jerk, [ he takes a swift glance at Della, then back ] --it'll help you relax. Just some, but better than nothin'. I'll set some off in Momma Duck's air nest, but if you're not doing great and you think you need a pot? Tell me. Raven made a lot of good stuff for good nights sleep if you need any in the medcar, too.

... So, yes. Cocoa. Incense. Hugging. And if you want to sleep with friends for a couple nights, we got air beds and extra pillows in here. Nobody has to get up and go until they feel ready.

And if that's not enough, that's fine too. Maybe next month we do something a little more organized, if you have any suggestions - movie night, sleepover night, big eat night, whatever, I'm listening. And I'm here for you.

[ Action ]

And inside the sports gym, the pair can be found. They have a few airbeds blown up, but there's more that still need airing up if you pop in straight after their message. There's also a tremendous amount of pillows. If you want to help, get blowing, and make these airbeds look nice and comfy!

The transgate from the standard coach has mysteriously been moved to the sports gym's outer hallway. Who did that? But it makes it easier to bring in the cups of hot chocolate from the kitchens, and for anyone who wants to bring snacks to do so. Take a seat, remember to bring your sleeping bag and whatever else you want. Plushes, your own musical instrument to offer some de-stress medication of your own with a melody.

And there's an area where small incense pots burn away, a gentle mist rising up. It won't heal the mind completely, but it will offer it some peace. And if you're worried about nightmares, a few of Raven's sachets and teas are available.

So come get a mom hug. Come and offer hugs. Just come and get something out of the company, whatever it is. Tidus and Della - and others - will be here to give a hand.

The life you had might've been fake, but the people around you aren't.

((OOC: consider this a mingling post, where everyone is free to tag everyone else! be the comforter, the one offering comfort, both, whatever!))

"Yeah, I still have a few. I like having it around as comfort food."
blitzcheer: (ugh keywording tho u guys)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2021-07-31 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
"Hmm, maybe I'll get some of mine too!" Which, nodding his head. "Fish tacos. A plate of those and an energy drink, watching a movie or a game... best way to slob around!"
helborn: (you're kind of cute)

[personal profile] helborn 2021-07-31 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"I could never really get into tacos... no matter which way I hold them stuff ends up spilling out. Give me a good burrito any day." He laughs, covering his mouth with his fist for a moment. "But different preferences is part of what makes life fun, right?"
blitzcheer: (heyy you want some???)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2021-08-01 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
"I dunno about that," he says with a grin. "Sounds more like I need to see you suffer a plate of tacos 'til you beat the spill. It's all about how you go in, man! You own the taco, don't let the taco own you!"
helborn: (nope too cute to function)

[personal profile] helborn 2021-08-02 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
"... If you're thinking Taco Tuesday, I'm right there with you. Because it could be any day, because we don't have a real sense of what day is what."
blitzcheer: (AND THAT'S WHEN I SWOOPED IN)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2021-08-02 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Taco Tuesdays, burrito Thursdays!" Tidus chimes cheerily. "I'm down! I'll see if I can remember to make wraps - haven't done it in ages. But you better pick some good movies for us. Invite a pal!"
helborn: (you're kind of cute)

[personal profile] helborn 2021-08-02 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Burrito Bursdays." He grins and thinks carefully. "We could always ask for one of those meal packs with ingredients?"
blitzcheer: (star player you know!)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2021-08-03 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Man, I'm gonna be doing so much cooking come platform." Which is to say- "Deal! We sharing with anyone? How many leftovers do we want?"

Leftovers: the sharing with your future self.
helborn: (i'm not an anime protag i swear)

[personal profile] helborn 2021-08-03 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Maybe a few? I could get one set for tacos and one for burritos? Or two. Two would be better." It's not like he doesn't have the points to swing it, anyway.
blitzcheer: (no promises there)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2021-08-04 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
"Hey, lemme throw in some points too! You know, we can get more than just the burritos and tacos too." If they're really going to get all that, then- "You can get appetisers and a dessert with it! Also trying to see if you can get drinks too if you ask."

Does that suddenly sound a lot? Yes, and Tidus even adds with a grin: "I try and get as much outta the train as possible."
helborn: (even while distressed i have pretty hair)

[personal profile] helborn 2021-08-04 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh hell yeah. Time for chips and salsa. That'd be fun... we could have a little party if we get enough. Just cut out paper tacos and stuff like that?" He smiles a little sheepishly at the suggestion. He's never thrown an impromptu party like that.
blitzcheer: (know what that means?)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2021-08-04 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm friends with a pair of very artistic kids -- and yourself," he'll add, just in case! "--who will love to do the decorations. They'll love it! Your friends, my friends, whoever else wants to be around? Sounds like a blast! We should take over the music car."

Or somewhere like that. This was becoming bigger than movies!

[personal profile] helborn 2021-08-05 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm not the best artist, but I can try. And yeah - I know the top floor doesn't get used a lot." He doesn't spend a ton of time in there, but it's less scent-filled than some other areas of the train.
blitzcheer: (arms folding galore!!)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2021-08-06 10:06 am (UTC)(link)
"Not unless a guy's sneaking up there trying to get some dancing in." Heh. He folds his arms, then, loooooking over Casper. "...You don't dance, do you?"
helborn: (i'm not an anime protag i swear)

[personal profile] helborn 2021-08-07 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
"Not... really? I tend to stick to the wall during dances, not the dance floor. I met my boyfriend like that." Plus mistletoe, but he's not sure if Tidus' world has that and he's not up for explaining the context at the moment.

"I can sing, though."
blitzcheer: (water five four up)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2021-08-07 11:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Singing's cool." but also, back to that not dancing thing. "--buuut, how'd you feel learning some dance moves? Learning some moves, having a good-looking guy to teach you? Not that I'm trying to hook you up after you mention a boyfriend!"

But also, you know!! Trying to sell some dance lessons here!!
helborn: (Default)

[personal profile] helborn 2021-08-07 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"I - sure. Dancing is nice... I just... I feel like I have no internal rhythm?" How does he even do this shit.
blitzcheer: (know what that means?)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2021-08-08 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
"That sounds perfect." Brilliant, even! "You'll give Inigo practice teaching you! And he's the last guy to judge anyone about how well they move." ...which isn't a subtle jab on Inigo. He's just too nice, especially when it comes to dancing.
helborn: (i'm at a fancy party pretending i'm cool)

[personal profile] helborn 2021-08-08 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh geez. "Fine, as long as you promise not to laugh at me too hard when I trip over my own feet." He probably won't, with his reflexes... the worry's still there, though.
blitzcheer: (mm ps2 graphics)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2021-08-08 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"Been there already, bought the t-shirt. You're in good company."

Please, he is no good at dancing either. But the more fun his friends can have and getting to know each other, the learning part is secondary.

"Oh, good. At least I'm not the only one."

There's still a part of him that expects to be teased, but it's at least a way quieter part of him nowadays.
