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!

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.

>>...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.<<

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

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

Let's see, here's a nice boar-bristle brush that ought to get through tiger fur.

I did sleep well! I'm actually not tired today, and I was exhausted yesterday after all the running around town we did, so this is a very good thing. :D

>> *gently noses empty bowl* Huh... <<

Gah, don't lick that, it has chocolate scum from last night's cocoa. :P Let me get you a clean one. I'm sure the kitchen will have daytime tea or more cocoa or whatever.

Re: Does virtual touch make you feel better?

[ysabetwordsmith]

>> ...any kinda mellow tea work right now.<<

Mellow, hmm, there's peppermint, or green tea with ginseng, or raspberry leaf if you like the flavor of green without caffeine.

>> Still feel weihd about last night-still feel like dat ain' me. *sighs* <<

Maybe a side of you that you don't see often, but still you. It's okay to feel weird about it though.

>> ...Sho that were OK? <<

I'm sure. Anytime you need it.

Have fun!

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.

Re: Does virtual touch make you feel better?

[djbluejay]

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. :)
