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. A nest full of colorful egg pillows sits in one corner. There is 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!

Fuzzy J walks in, wearing a pair of black shirts and a black t-shirt with red flowers on it, her fuzzy red robe in her bag with her crochet projects. She puts two trays one hazelnut rounds on the table, one with brown sugar icing and hazelnuts on top, and one plain, then puts out ingredient cards in front of them.

That done, Fuzzy J makes a pillow pile on the floor against a wall so she is out of the way, then pulls out her basket to work on. She puts up a sign that says, "Company and cuddles welcome. Will trade massages/brushing/healthy touches with anyone who is interested."

They were delicious cookies, sort of a cross between sugar cookies and shortbread in taste.

J takes a few minutes to admire the braids and sink into all the lovely skritches before speaking. "Would you like me to braid yours too? And I can give you skritches? Thanks SO MUCH for all the braids!"

This works out very well then. I like reciprocating, but I LOVE having my hair played with. Like, you could do it for hours and hours and I would still love it. (My brain is pretty much always going "MORE! Please? More?")

*purrrr*

*starts at the head and gives gentle skritches and scalp massage*

Brushes out the hair, careful to avoid tangles, then makes four sections. Each section gets French braided, then the tail ends get woven into a four strand braid. There are fun hair ties to choose from, as well as the plain ones. Behind the ear skritches and shoulder skritches come after the braids are all finished.

*scoops hands up and back toward base of skull, thumbs resting on the base of the occipital bone, sweeping firmly in and out to rub out tension at the base of the skull and top of the neck*

*hands firmly skritching and stroking through hair along semicircular paths to provide tension relief*

I bet! Though I'm not sure grumpy people are deserving of nice things. I hope they at least say thank you. Showing appreciation is good.

*rumblepurr PURR*

*shivers pleasantly* Firm pressure is better, unless you want a reaction of a different kind ;D (I don't mind either way, but I'm thinking firm is better here.)

they're usually very thankful, the ones that aren't don't GET any more rub-downs. They learn pretty quick.

we're in a high-stress position. Sometimes the only thing that can *GIVE* is the happy and bubbly energy that you can spare in your relationship with the coworkers especially if you have to keep using the calm happy customer service voice while angry people are screaming at you...... on the less hectic days people are generally very kind to be around.

Firmer it is than *nods*
We'd have to move to a different corner of a different kind for the *other* kind of reaction. :D :D

That's good. :)

Oh, those can be the worst kinds of jobs. I'm glad your coworkers are generally good to be around, and that sometimes you can help them. :) Angry, yelling customers suck *balls*. You definitely have my sympathies there.

My instinctive reaction to that was "Yes please. With the *paddle* brushes?" XD

Kevin (he/him, if I start growling chirp like a cat and I should calm down) flops onto a cushion under the lawn tent, he's kinda obviously upset and most likely blurring with his younger headmates. Vanessa (she/her, please ask first before touching) plops herself down next to him after grabbing stickers and snacks for them both. Carlos (he/him, squishes and hugs are good) follows close behind with Addison (they/them, I like being brushed and squishes, but be careful of spine ridges {poison!}) who is holding tightly to the microfyne burrito blanket they got eons ago. They take one look at Kevin, tuck Kevin under part of their blankie, then rolls theirself under the far corner.

Carlos chuckles overhearing Addison say his name, and notices Addison talking to a new friend. "Hi there. I'm Addison's Papá. They're not lying, I bounce when I'm excited-happy too."

Kevin meanwhile is apparently trying to burrow under the cushion and blanket.

Carlos glances at Kevin, "Kevin, are we being too loud?"

"Lil. Head hurt. Dowana talk."

"Ok Addison, I and our new friend will give you some quiet space."

Carlos grins at Addison. "What do you think, cuddlebug, wanna go inside and get brushes?" He grins at the new happy friend, "Do you want to come with?"

He pauses and then remembers he has the supplies Vanessa needs and digs around in his lab coat pockets and tosses an amber tincture bottle and a small bag of marshmallows at Vanessa. "You know the drill by now."

Vanessa nods, "Honeybee, come out for a sec and let me give you the medicine to make the headache more quiet?"

Addison grins, "Brush! Yes! Pwease!" They unroll theirself from the blankie corner. "Cousin Kevin have all blankie now. Back later."

Carlos laughs, still chatting as they head back towards the cuddle room. "I know how to braid and if you want to attempt to braid my rebellious hair, you can try. Addison just likes being brushed as long as you don't touch their spines which is dangerous besides."
