[ 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!))

Leave it to him to see the upsides of anything - even of Rapunzel's horrible situation back home. Inigo smiles, apparently full of confidence that he can make this work.
"Tell me what you always saw out there! I'm curious."
no subject
That was about all she could remember anyway. So not a lot really.
"So not a whole lot, but really pretty. Oh and stars and lanturns on my birthday, although for nearly eighteens years I didn't actually know that was what they were."
no subject
Sure, the connection is easily made with it happening every year on her birthday, especially with what she says herself, but that's not what he's thinking about.
"What did that look like?" It sounds like something nice, so he might as well get her to talk about that. Maybe she'll enjoy it, he thinks? "Was it pretty?"
no subject
"WHat did they look like... I mean they were beautiful. It was like stars slowly moving across the night sky. I mean I did think they were stars until I studied stars."
no subject
Especially when you don't know too much about the world - or haven't gotten to see much of it yet.
"It sounds like a nice tradition though, releasing all of those up into the sky. We didn't have anything like that at all back in Ylisse."
no subject
She still didn't quite understand why it only happened then and no other time.
It was odd. She felt like they were meant for her or something. But that was just silly, right?
"But what did you have back on Ylisse then?"
no subject
It's a hard question to answer. Even after all this time on the train, Inigo still is never too sure what's similar and what's different between his world and all these other worlds - especially when everything in his world obviously just feels so natural to him.
He closes his eyes for a moment, releasing a slow breath as he thinks.
"We had.. a really pretty field of flowers right outside the castle. I would always go to play there with my mother when I was younger."
no subject
Seems like a lot of fun though.
no subject
"Yeah, I suppose that did happen.." Though he didn't really pay attention to it, considering how young he had been back then. He didn't really think about stuff like that, he was just having fun.
"But it didn't matter though. The flowers always grew back, year after year, different flowers for each season.. I always thought I'd just spend my time forever in that spot."
no subject
So it didn't really matter. So long as one had fun that was the most important thing. Being able to do that as a kid. Rapunzel did feel a tiny bit of jealousy.
"But of course you couldn't."
no subject
He's saying that very, very purposefully. After all, Inigo does know a bit about Rapunzel's situation back home, which is exactly why he's saying those words. He believes that there's no way Rapunzel is going to be stuck forever in that tower. There's just no way.
"We all have to move on at some point."
no subject
"But sometimes it's still nice to go back now and again. So long as it holds good memories."
no subject
Yes, that's a 'once'. Because Inigo believes fiercely that there's no way Rapunzel will be stuck there forever. He will fly his world-hopping dragon over if that's what it takes, he'll find a way!
no subject
She didn't know anything about the world around her after all and this talk proved as much, so she was honestly nervous just thinking about the what would happen after
