medical/self-care live!

[sancrimony]

Who: some cute nurses & you
Where: the lobby + wherever if you want a housecall
When: day 131, noon

[ hope everyone is resting well! or maybe keeping busy, as one does after horrible trauma. some sensitIVs are doing just that - actually, it's been a while since lucifel's called a live, hasn't it? but he's in the lobby in a nurse outfit, with nya,  and possibly a few other sensitIVs who may or may not have been roped into wearing nurse outfits. it's mystery ]

Ahhh . . . Uhm, good morning, everyone -

[ somewhat nervously, or maybe self-conscious, ]

It's been a while, hasn't it? Not for any good reason either, but - in any case, we thought it would be good to have something like this again . . . that is -

Hello! This is a medical checkup Live, since we've had a rough couple of days. Uhm, if you would like to get a checkup, we'll be here in the lobby! Even if you don't feel it's necessary, we've arranged to have some comforts here, if you'd like to stop by for some self-care, instead!

[ camera swivel to the lobby which has a bunch of dakimakuras (stripped of their covers so you're not looking at lewds) and blankets, some of them raised up like someone's taken boxes to make them into tables and put a blanket over it so it looks nicer. on them are a few kettles and teapots, mismatched like someone gathered pretty much every tea dispenser he could. there are also a few trays of sweets - desserts from the café, as well as fruits to be cut up, as well as like, ice cream and Japanese snacks like purin and senbei. there is probably literally a boxtable that is entirely just mandarin oranges. ]

. . . Uhm . . .

[ with the camera back to lucifel, who looks somewhat conflicted - though overall grateful, ]

Speaking personally for a moment - it was really comforting to have people by my side, yesterday - so thank you . . . Even though I was a mess who couldn't stop crying . . .

. . . And - in the end, it made me feel a lot better, and I understood just then that crying can bring great relief! So - uhm, if you need a shoulder to cry on, or an ear to listen to your troubles, or a lap to rest your head on, or someone to hug or wrestle to get rid of stress - well, I don't know if we're all able to do that here but we'll do our best to help you how we can!

[ and he gives an earnest smile, there ]

I'm still - uhm, learning . . . quite a lot of things, so this is the best I could think of for "self care", but if you have an idea for the future, I'd be most grateful to know it!

[ then, a beat ]

Ahh, but it's understandable that you might not want to relax around some people, so - well - for this reason, we decided against visiting every dorm like we did before, but -

If you'd like one of us to make a housecall to your dorm instead, then please send a text to your preferred healer on duty, and we'll be on the way! If you really can't tolerate any of us, then . . . well, it would be best to get as many points as you can, since this last game was really bad for scars, but - well, in any case, we'll do our best to stay out of your way, so please let us know in advance as well, or otherwise spend some time outside of the lobby, please! We've made a border  -

[ with a gesture to the line of pillows where all dakimakura and blanket and foodnonsense stops  ]

- for you to have a clear walkway, so please bear with our intrusion for the next couple of hours!

[ cheerily. ok lucifel signing off ]

[Gives those pillows a side-eye, goes right around them, and just. Pours himself some tea.]

[sancrimony]

[ there aren't any images on them .... ! ]

How are you faring, Thorn-san . . . ?

[justfuckingtryit]

All right. Taking care of myself, as the live dictates.

[Raises the tea cup, in a little salute.]

[sancrimony]

Mm, that's good. Can I get anything for you, or would you rather a moment of quiet?

[justfuckingtryit]

Does it count as self care, if someone else is doing it?

[sancrimony]

I think indulging, in and of itself, counts as self-care - you're relaxing, after all. Well, though - I'm not entirely certain myself. . .

At least when it comes to points, it definitely counts?

[justfuckingtryit]

In that case, I'll take a pastry.

[backstory]

[ It's fine, Levi understands how weird the pillows are. ]

Do you like it? It's a tea I have been working on for a while.

[justfuckingtryit]

[...pauses with the cup partway to his mouth.]

What's in it?

[backstory]

It is called Sweet Dew Tea. And it is made from hydrangea leaves.

[justfuckingtryit]

The fuck's a hydrangea?

[backstory]

What? It's a flowering plant. You have never seen one before? They are like bushes... that have little round clumps of flowers on them.

[justfuckingtryit]

The flowers are blue, or white?

...didn't know what they were called.

[wonderlandgirl]

Oh, hello! Would you like a mandarin?

[She's being good... ish, and has mostly ignored the snacks in favor of the mandarins. Mostly. She does have a slice of cake. And maybe some purin and look it's been a rough few days just don't tell my friend from home who isn't here.

[She offers Thorn a mandarin anyway! They're really good.]

[justfuckingtryit]

Oh. Sure?

[wonderlandgirl]

[Hands one over~!]

Really, I was trying to be good. I was just going to have a couple of these, but... I felt like I needed some cake today. I'll just have to make sure I go to the gym later. Or swimming. Do you like to swim? We've got a pool, now...!

[justfuckingtryit]

I don't know if I've ever been.

[wonderlandgirl]

Do you think it's something you'd like to try? It's really refreshing in summer. And it's a really good way to relax!

[justfuckingtryit]

...maybe? I'd come dip my feet, at least.

[nihilmancy]

If you drink it sweetened with honey, it should have an anti-inflammatory effect!

[justfuckingtryit]

Really?

[nihilmancy]

Ginger too, I believe.

[justfuckingtryit]

Is it the tea that does that, or the honey and ginger?

[nihilmancy]

Both? Tea does have those properties. Though I believe Levi's tea is not actually made with tea leaves in any case.

But honey and ginger certainly do, and reduce congestion as well.

[justfuckingtryit]

Interesting. I didn't know they were so useful.
