[ 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!))

"Fighting, bringing people over. Feel bad with how wrecked you all are, but Rainbow Sprinkles was really trying to ruin the place for you guys." So, some of them needed to be dealing with that and the environment. "You know though, I think I saw you- back on TV. Something about a large, traffic blocking chunk of ice?"
He raises a single eyebrow, a smirk on his mouth. Sound familiar?
no subject
He shrugs, open-palmed and grinning. "I certainly don't regret it, that's for sure."
no subject
He then nods to Jade. "You end up finding the red-head you're always with there? With the long hair."
He's guessing they're friends. Probably? Probably.
no subject
Tidus asking after Asch makes Jade's expression grow softer. "You mean Asch? I did, thankfully. Both of us realizing what was happening by day three made it easy enough."
no subject
"Great! He doing okay? Or--as okay as we all are." Whatever that level of 'okay' amounted to.
no subject
"Any reason you're asking, or just curiosity?"
no subject
"Plus, if he's not a people-people kind of guy but his head's all fuzzy, I would've passed on one of the smoke pots." A nod back to them. "Rest's good, but I think we don't wanna be stuck in bed too many days. Then again..."
Hands at his sides, he stretches his back, giving a grunt behind his mouth.
"--that doesn't sound so bad!"
no subject
"It really is. Of course there's plenty of other wonderful people to meet on the train, but having a friend from the start helps you get your footing."
As Tidus stretches, Jade laughs.
"Right? I don't often make claims to wanting to sleep for a week, but I think this time might warrant it."
