[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!))

Mmm... She looks down at her mug of cocoa. In many ways his disposition and demeanor reminded her very much of her King. Like him, he was proper and charismatic, but also had a way of closing off avenues to explore when those walls shouldn't really exist.

"As emperor, you have every right to do as you please." She stated more to acknowledge his sovereignty than to grant him permission. "Perhaps it is my narrow view, but as I see the stars in the sky I can't help but think of the cliff sides, nebulae, sunrises and sunsets, flora, fauna, and everything else that could possibly exist. Perhaps it would be mundane to one used to such things, but I would find it all... fascinating."

Her gaze turns to Freeza, to gauge his reaction. How he chooses to respond would say a lot of many things. In some ways it would even describe how he sees her and this conversation. Was he someone drawn to the novel, like her, or would he desire to keep things simple and familiar? Despite the fact that it was not her place, how often do you get to ask the emperor the universe how they see their domain?

This is absolutely not the first time anyone has implied that his way of living is less than ideal to some, especially since he was on the Barge before this, and while it is always simple to brush these things off as the wild imaginings of the underprivileged, the terrestrial, more than that has crossed his mind before. Some tinge of the thought that he is in some way pitiable. Limited.

Unhappy.

"That is very sentimental way of viewing it," he observes, after a moment.

Her fingers steeple over her mug of coffee. "The place of my birth had a total area of 5 kilometers cube. It was also under the ground. I was 16 when I got to see the sky for the first time."

In other words. "If we did not have sentiment for anything good or for our future aspirations, we would not have anything worth living for."
