[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!))

She laughs a little. "Y'know, I'm not really sure. I never really bothered to ask. It's kinda nice to think that he did, though."

"Yeah! I'm just surprised that he gave you a stuffed dragon, rather than.. you know. A cute animal."

Inigo may be very familiar with dragons, moreso than most people on the train, but he'd still be hardpressed to call them cute exactly.

"Most people prefer to hug cuter animals when they sleep, right?"

"Yeah, I guess that's true. Maybe he picked a dragon so I would feel more protected at night? Y'know, to drive away all the monsters under my bed or in my closet? I don't really remember much at that age when he gave it to me, but I could see something like that happening."
flatteries: (i don't know how to word it)

[personal profile] flatteries 2021-08-13 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
That makes Inigo's smile widen a little.

It makes sense, after all. Inigo truly can't think of anything more protective than a dragon, and it fills him with fond memories of his own world.

"I guess even other worlds understand just how great and protective dragons are, huh..?"

With a giggle, Kitty nods. "Yeah. Back home, there are a lot of stories about dragons kidnapping princesses and causing trouble too, but I like the stories where dragons can be the heroes too."
flatteries: (a rhythm for the songs)

[personal profile] flatteries 2021-08-16 10:49 am (UTC)(link)
Thankfully the notion of an evil dragon is nothing Inigo might get offended by. Sure, the greatest and good creature back home is a dragon, the god he worships, but there is an evil and destructive dragon too.

Maybe it's a little more extreme than the stories from Kitty's home, but.. still. He gets it.

"I'm glad. That other worlds still have those stories, even if they may not have dragons."

With a soft laugh, she nods. "Yeah. It's kinda weird how different places can still have similar things, huh? But it's cool too."
