Event Log: A Little Touchy-Feely

[hadrielmods]

Who: All characters participating in the event
What: The event log for the A Little Touchy Feely event
Where: In the city of Hadriel
When: September 20th-29th
Warnings: Cuddles? Please keep in mind our rule about potentially adult content.

In the morning of September 20th, you wake up with an itch you can't quite seem to scratch. There's a strong impulse, lingering in the back of your mind and it's difficult to figure out exactly what you need at first. You may be unhappy, unsatisfied for most of the morning, but everything clicks when you run into someone else- whether it's a casual interaction with a roommate or friend or a more intimate one with a boyfriend or girlfriend, after a brief moment of contact, suddenly everything falls into place.

You'll spend the next week or so seeking out that contact, consciously or unconsciously. It's not enough to have a handshake or a hi five, you want to be close to people: physically, emotionally, any way you can get it. The closeness makes you happy, the happiness makes you forget about how lame it is on a rocky desert island on an alien planet. Everybody wins, right?

Make sure all cuddles are consensual, and try to stave off the horrible coldness that comes from your fear of being alone, at least for a few more days!

[ In contrast, Rose had only ever associated touch with pain. Even in Haven's days, that mental connection was hard to break. She remembers feeling so much more at east when answering the social animal in her and doing things like spending time with others, sleeping in close proximity, and just... general nearness. But still, there had been Yao. The experiments, the torture.

Sometimes she can still struggle but she's come a long way to be able to snuggle up on the couch next to her friend here. ]

Yeah, I know I've been at the orchard a lot... Just trying to do what I can, y'know? Like feeling useful. [ She's not good at science like Alphys or others, it doesn't feel like she contributes a whole lot but- The orchard? She can take care of that much. The blond burrows down further into the couch a little, body relaxing as she leans into the touch. ]

But I'm glad you caught me too. Been a while since I just let myself... relax.

[sciencelizard]

[She nods, absolutely understanding the feeling. Alphys always believes she's not the one doing the important work, so she'd be the first to say she's not really busy- even when she really can be.]

Oh, I-- of c-course. We all want to contribute to the city. And I don't know where we'd be if you weren't taking care of the orchard, so.

[See? Values others. She believes in you, Rosie.]

But I know what you mean. We all, uhm, need a l-lazy day of anime every once in a while.

[hasitsthorns]

[ She can be. And Rose would be the first to tell her so, that what she does is worlds more important than anything Rose can do-

Oh. ]

Ah, please. Probably fine. Someone else would've taken it up or... I don't know. [ Maybe someone else could have stopped them from taking all the trees. That would have been nice. ]

I agree though. It's nice to just sit back and relax a little. Sometimes it feels like there's nothing going on then other times it's... a little too much.

[sciencelizard]

[Alphys agrees with a small hum, letting herself lean on Rosie's side, head nestled comfortably against her.]

Mhmm. It's nice to just... b-be, sometimes. And, uh...

[It's sappy, but she blushes, tilting her head down.]

I'm glad to be here with you. So. Let's uh, enjoy it?

[hasitsthorns]

[ Maybe it's because she's more susceptible to heat than the cold that she feels that blush. As a result, she hooks her arm over Alphys and brings the little lizard just a scooch closer. ]

Yeah, I agree. I'm all for enjoying the downtime when I can.

[sciencelizard]

[She gasps a very quiet gasp as Rosie pulls her in, which only serves to intensify that heat in her face. Oh, she is hopeless. But she won't ruin this with all that now.]

Yeah. L-Let's watch, huh?
