@ nice toy (locked to the non au'd folks)

[fursuit]

so you've all noticed that about half of us are totally fucked in the head right

best I can tell they think they've always lived here? in this world I mean. kinda hard to ask too much more than that without looking like you're the one that's insane but man

apparently they've also got backstories for all of us??? so how the fuck am I supposed to know that shit???

anyways. wanted to toss this out there for discussing and strategizing how to deal with this fuckin mess. I figure once we kill this kaiju they'll all go back to normal but

I dunno. be gentle with them. I know that's ironic coming from me but whatever

lemme know if there's anyone I missed to add to this filter.

(( ooc ; this is a discussion post about the people with au'd memories for those who do not have those memories! ending up on this filter is an icly handwaved process, so feel free to jump in if this applies to your character. threadjacking is very much open and welcome!

there's also a sister post for the au'd characters here, so if you're looking for that, go for it! ))

I'm perfectly chill!

[ eyes bugging out ]

[makesascene]

If this is chill, I'd hate to see you freaking out. [Is said dryly back.] You need to stop, take a deep breath, focus on your breathing for at least a minute until its calmer.

[ grumble mumbles "i'm fine", before trying to breathe.... the air whistles through his teeth because of his gap tooth ]

Is it out in or in out?

[ he forgot how to breathe ]

[makesascene]

In, then out. [He demonstrates by taking a big breath in, then releasing it.] Biiiiig breath in, biiiiiig breath out. Do this a few times until your heart rate calms down.

[newphew]

My heart rate...

[ it's going 200 beats per minute currently. he follows the breathing instruction, still with that whistling noise because of air through his gap tooth, then finally.... finally starts to settle down ]

[makesascene]

Good job, you're getting there. [He opts to not call Hunter 'Nervous Guy', aware that might set things back a little.] When you feel like your heart isn't gonna beat out of your chest, means you're a lot calmer.

[newphew]

In, then out.... In, then out...

[ he finally settles down ]

I-It's starting to feel a bit better.

[makesascene]

Yeah, breathing tends to help. [Not even being sarcastic over here. Congrats, Hunter.] Any time you start to feel really stressed, deep breathing helps. Along with centering yourself.

[newphew]

[ he finally settles properly, learning to breathe, yay!! ]

Okay, I'm calm and centered. I think. Now what?

[makesascene]

Alright, king, let's go over the info you got. We'll work through it together. [He's helped his twin with conspiracy boards more than once.]
