( a message broadcasts itself to the network: )

hi there
i'm still getting used to how all of this works. i know it's late, but... i figured in unfamiliar surroundings, no matter how long you've been here, there might be a few others finding it a little hard to get some sleep, too.

( a pause that doesn't translate to the network, shuffling a bit where she sits cross-legged atop her bed, taking a moment to cast her gaze out to the glittering cityscape. the room itself feels like another world, recently assigned: EVERLIGHT. 022. )

if that's you and you need an ear, or just don't feel like being alone, i'm happy to talk for awhile. i'd love to hear about your home, or maybe your favorite part of it, no matter how small. favorite late night snacks, what sort of drink you'd order if you could choose from anything, or even make up your own... or not talk!

we can hologram, too. and honestly, my door's always open. i probably won't be turning in for awhile. i still have so many questions about this place, why us... but those can wait for another day.




oh, i've also been thinking about maybe setting up some sort of calisthenics class, maybe on certain days in the morning. i used to run one back home. it was awhile ago, but, if anyone might be interested, i know it at least helps me to have something to keep me moving.

I'd love a calisthenics class! I do meditation and yoga on my own, but I think it'd be fun with others!

big sister yor...

[promisely]

i think something like that could even be added!
not everyone might be up for something like calisthenics, yoga would be a great option for anyone that needs to wind down, instead, and aren't really sure how or where they can do that here.

would you feel comfortable enough to lead it?

I'm not used to leading classes but I can certainly try! My only two "clients" before we're my daughter and her friend. 😄

The talks are a wonderful idea as well. It seems many here lose sleep over training, civilian life, their previous homes, or the kaiju.

[promisely]

well that's still something! i don't think you really need to be an expert in anything to teach it. if it's something you enjoy, i think others take to that really well.

it's sad to hear that, but i guess it's only to be expected
even if they don't want to talk, having these sort of classes to get it out some other way could be a big help. or just... having someone around. i know sometimes that helps me feel more at ease.

do you know anywhere with enough space? i haven't really gotten the chance to explore too much.

[yormama]

Then I'll do my best! Everyone should get a chance to decompress and feel safe and comfortable doing so.

As far as space, I think they have exercise rooms aplenty around here and communal areas with lots of room to stretch out. There are probably private gyms we could rent out in the city as well if we really need more room.

[promisely]

i'm sure the exercise rooms will be enough! it's hard to say how many people will show up when it first gets started, but maybe once word gets out, they'll feel more comfortable joining.

we'll just have to figure out some kind of schedule... maybe just a network wide announcement would be enough to kick start it.

i'm tifa, by the way!

[yormama]

It's nice to meet you, Tifa! You can call me Yor.

An announcement would be great for interest checking, I think. So we know how many people we'll have to account for.
