[ 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!))

"They did a great job, didn't they?" Eight looked around. Before everything she wouldn't have had as much appreciation for all of this, but their previous world... changed things. She had more context on the meaning of what things like this was for. That understanding made engaging with it that much easier. "You know~" she winked with a sly smile. "I think there's still a bit of cocoa and a pillow pile with our name on it. Why don't you go pick out a spot and I'll come back with some cocoa for us?"
no subject
It was good to be with everyone, to see everyone be themselves again and all be back safe.
Even if everyone was really tired.

"This is nice. Back home I didn't have a chance to enjoy something like this until recently. Did you do things like this?"

"Hmm sometimes! We trained hard and there were lotsa prayers but me and Elfnein would sometimes sit on beanbags and read and sometimes we had picnics or after training days we would eat yummy food all together." He smiled at her.
"Once we went to clean a whole bathhouse! It was such hard work but we all camped out there and that was fun."
no subject
Speaking of busy-sounding projects. "That sounds like a lot of work! Did you have other people help you?"
no subject
"Yes! There was lots of us and we all worked really really hard! But it was so exhausting!"
He sighed just thinking about it. "But it was fun, we got to camp out and tell scary stories and eat cookies with so much frosting."
no subject
The sharing of stories, though, that was something that they both shared. No matter what, there was always time to share stories and be with friends. "Do you remember any of those stories?"
no subject
Stories were really fun, whether they were written in books or told out loud.
