Cuddle Party

Everyone needs contact comfort sometimes.  Not everyone has ample opportunities for this in facetime.  So here is a chance for a cuddle party in cyberspace.  Virtual cuddling can help people feel better.

We have a
cuddle room that comes with fort cushions, fort frames, sheets for draping, and a weighted blanket.  It has a basket of grooming brushes, hairbrushes, and styling combs.  A bin holds textured pillows. There is a big basket of craft supplies along with art markers, coloring pages, and blank paper.  The kitchen has a popcorn machine. Labels are available to mark dietary needs, recipe ingredients, and level of spiciness. Here is the bathroom, open to everyone.  There is a lawn tent and an outdoor hot tub. Bathers should post a sign for nude or clothed activity.  Come snuggle up!

For me, Spanish is a field of marigolds in my head. Took one year, and it just kept growing. Now I can understand some stuff I know we never covered
in class.

Wish languages work like dat for us. Gaelic be a grown field by now 'smuch as we listen to it heah. Such pretty music. Like it. Wish Fallon could sing it moe heah. Good...nice and wahm feelin'. Like blanket fo me. Like mah own language be an' shit. Guss 'cause it rolls kinda...dunno...jus enjoy da soundof it an' other pretty languages. Elvish dat way too. 'cause I kin sorta learn it in sleepins. don't have to worry about bein' called out for mistakes 'cause it flows like watah do...bablin' now. heh. Pro'ly gunna bed soon if I can. Sleep not good when I be like dis. Bad nuight. May stay an' clean shit. Dunno...

Sure, because talking puts you face to face and writing doesn't have to.

Don' feel like writtin' git ya hurt so much neithah.

Takes a lot of practice to feel comfortable with vulnerability. Ever see a crawdad shed its skin? All soft and white underneath for a while, so they
tend to hide. But that's the only way they can grow.

Nah, ain't seen it. Heahd of it doe. People say dey good eatin' too. Like bein' able to be like dis an' not git...no one heah ain't yet. 'snice.

Might could be this is where I say that I'm a strong enough shapeshifter it can affect other people. Energy worker, too. So if I'm brushing and wishing
you more together, might happen. You still want brushed?
...not ready dat yet. Pets den? Want hot cocoa an' cookies fuhst. AIn't ready all togethah yet. Feel like could be rupt-break bad if we do it jus nah.

Ya good peeps. really do like ya...lots. <3 Ysabet.

Well, one of the Three Strains is suantraĆ­, for sleep.

Din't know dat. Good to know. Maybe find some latah. Gunna have to find somethin' to sleep wid today. Ya done helped a lot. Th...thank ya muches...

I like pretty languages too.

Pretty languages toys. Wohdplay's good when I not did stressed out. Snarky sarcasm...been gittin' moe good atdat bein' in family of writers an' language nirds. Kaelaren ovah theh...he wohdmage. Pens can do shit if he let'em. Good at dat too. One of the reasons we want Kaligs in body. So he an' Craimah cn do stuff...an' not feel trapped wi'out they skils. Like watchin'em, too. Fun.

Sleep if you can. Most people find it easier after a good cry. You might need to pull yourself back together a little first, so take your time.

Slowly doin' dat. Find if it go to quick I worse off dan I was 'fore cryin's. Why say careful wi'brushin's. :)

That's okay. I can brush or pet without changing anything, just need to tamp it down a bit.

I like you too.

Let's see, here's a nice boar-bristle brush that ought to get through tiger fur.
*rumble purr* Ya...gunna...brush me all sleeps. 'sOkay. Need dat now. Done wid cookies anyway. Cocoa get wahm again.

Tell Fallon she can get brushin's too. Feel huh wantin' dat now. Love huh....so...*yawn*...much...

Coming right up.

Oh yeah *shifts human and leans on body pillow, moe in the mood to be snuggled against if she wants. :) I'ma need a cup dis time. :)

Have fun!

Mrr, pro'ly gunna let Fallon do dat. Gunna be de one writin' hheah fo da most part, but D&D's more huh, ain't really me yet. Like watchin' people go fo the dice, but the thang get too slow sometimes. Think I'd like it bettah in puhson, not over text an' shit...who know doe. Ain't got a gamin' group we know of close to be findin' dat outan' shit.

It takes as long as it takes. You will get used to it eventually, if you spend time around more accepting people. It may feel weird for a while, but it
should ease up the pressure inside, and that'll help you feel better in general.

It already do. Thank ya-fo dis. Befoe I came here, couldn't sleep, was at a family party. Had to go when all this be comin' on, but theah was music an' shit an' all of us were talkin' an' jus hangin'. Were fun. :)

*snuggles* *offers teacup*

*leans head on shoulder drinkin' tea* :)

I enjoy roleplaying in person, but I'm really into computer-assisted gaming.

Ya'd like dis then I bet. We do it on Skype 'cause AIM went away. ::action marks is eithathis:: o *some use dis*... an {{OOC is dis{{ an' we jus role dice for da shit we want wi'da modifiers. Ai't thinkin' I need do moe than dat since ya kinda know what the rest of it is.

We playin half-winged elf Druid dis time 'round instead o'usual bard. It kinda fun to switch us up puhspectives an' figur Fallon's brain on dat. :d


That sounds good too.

Was. Wid da big family we got theah's usually one on a night so all of us can jus kinda hang aroun' and chill wid people we ain't seen yet. Good way keep connected too.

There lotta good food, too. Family can freakin' cook they butts off. :d

*chuckle* I done made tiger butter.

Here Fallon, have another brush. Might as well finish the batch. ;)

:)

*brushes in time with Ysabet's pattern, sometimes going in opposits to make point an counterpoint.

He's gunna be out like a light in less than five. Del and I do this all the time. :) It's either me or Jasmine on the other side of del, and this'll usually put him out in fifteen minutes tops. ... migt be longer today, but. *said quietly so as not to wake half-asleep tiger*
