Cuddle Party

[ysabetwordsmith]

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!

Jay sends a silent acknowledgement to the PurrBeast remembering his scent from the danceparty they had long time back.

He's too curled up around the body pillow to do much more than that at the moment.

Anyone noticing will hear the steady rise of sobs as he finally lets everything out.

Aww ...

The Purr Beast sends back a warm feeling of support and care, and leans over to lay his huge head down nearer to Jay. He purrs long and deep and regular, in and out. Somehow, the purring seems to wrap around the sound of Jay's sobs like an encouragement, an approval and an acknowledgement of everything that's just been too much lately. Purrbeast's rolling rumbly purrs rock Jay as he lets it all out at last, just calmly being here with him.

Yes ...

Purring has a profound soothing effect on mind and body.

>> Stomach hurt from all cryin's.<<

Aww ... there's chamomile for tea in the kitchen. I could bring in some ginger shortbread.

>> Dunno...how to be feelin jus now* <<

Wrung out like a dishrag? Emotionally complex response?

Here. You want this in a cup or a bowl? It's warm, not hot. Sip it slow.

Because stress chemicals build up in your body and mess up your digestion. Not fun.

Sometimes it helps to take slow, deep breaths or have someone do long body strokes for you. Connects the jumbled pieces.

I just about always get a bellyache if I cry for long, or an argument runs long. Builds up acid, for me, and I need bread or something to sop it up. :/

>> *cries a little again* d-dammit. can-can't stop. :( <<

*pet pet pet* That's okay. You're not going to cork up a flood after just a few minutes. It'll run out when it's done, is all.

>> Outside o fam, only place...feel wanted...an' fam is big. Feel...good here.<<

I'm glad you feel welcome. I wish you had more of a support network though.

>> Don't...wanna...leave. Glad...*sniff*...dun have to... <<

Stay as long as you like, party's going strong tonight. :D

Moving often comes with mixed feelings. It sucks, but you'll get through it.

Purr Beast agrees with Ysabet about crying and things that help. He's very glad Jay's here, and wants to stay keep Jay company long as Jay likes. Thinks prolly Jay got more bits of crying to do, now and then. Thinks that's okay.

PurrBeast just stays purring, a soothing sound and a warm and steady presence, sturdy and comforting.

Re: Well ...

[ysabetwordsmith]

You have got me kneading these cushions with my toes.

Re: Well ...

[beasts_of_homeworld]

PurrBeast's purr rolls over itself briefly, a deep warm bubbling of sound that might be what happens when he chuckles while he's purring. He smiles with his ears and his eyes, and tilts his head in Ysabet's direction in a friendly manner, purring for Ysabet especially now.

Purrbeast recognises you for not-a-mortal, don't feel the need to hold back so much with you. The deep rolling rumble unfurls a little more than previously, it resonates down in the bones of the earth like the motion of magma bubbling up in the deeps. Like ancient tectonic plates forming, unforming, reforming as the world is born. And still the sound is smooth and steady, in and out, in and out, deep and slow.

*smiles back* *reaches foot around to pet PurrBeast too*

Ah, you clocked me. :D *flicks a sound baffle over Jay*

*bask* *murrrrr*

[beasts_of_homeworld]

PurrBeast purrs slow and steady, calm and reassuring. He sends the thought that it's okay not to know how to feel. He will be here with Jay in whatever is right now, even if that's an uncertain mish-mash of emotions, or none feelings at all, and Jay can just be Jay.

PurrBeast thinks if Jay can find something warm to put on his stomach, that might help with the hurting. Mostly he just stays close, keeping Jay company, gentle rumbles of care and comfort rolling in and out like the tide.

Yes ...

[ysabetwordsmith]

We have grain packs and such that can be microwaved. And there's cold ones in the freezer in case anyone needs to cool off a hot face, or soothe muscle aches that way.

[djbluejay]

Tea helpin. Wahm come latah.

K'in get intermitint purr from Jay 'cause Jay ain't don cryin' yet.

[beasts_of_homeworld]

K'in is happy the tea's helping. He likes Jay's intermittint purrs, and welcomes the crying too. K'in the Purr Beast respects Jay a lot for being hear, and doing what he need to do.

K'ins own slow, deep rumbles mingle with Jay's purrs and cryin's, weaving them together so that both the sounds belong. Slow and steady, purrr-purrr.

[djbluejay]

Jay asks K'in to quiet purr slightly, bit overwhelmed. Jus...keep goin' jus lower volume...Jay likes K'in for being around, glad for his company still. Jus kinda nervous about doin' too much an' bein'...too much for ones.

[beasts_of_homeworld]

K'in's purring quiets down to a gentle, soft sound. Just lightly there, in the background. K'in sends a small apology, sometimes it's hard for him to judge how loud he sounds to smaller people. He stays calmly nearby, relaxed and happy, purring quiet ad regular.
