Who: Cara + You

Action: SS First Breath
When: Now!

Apparently many people on the Fleet seem to be suffering from sadness. I have come up with some suitable solutions for you.

One: Crying. (This works for many)
Two: Drinking. (I'm less sure of this)
Three: Cuddling.

These usually work from what I've seen of people with . . . feelings. Hopefully you will all recover soon.

I'm liking option 2 the best right now.

[revengeofthemordsith]

I do not know how helpful it is. I have never done it myself.

[thebestseller]

Well, alcohol is a depressant, so sometimes the point is to drink until you pass out and stop feeling sad entirely.

[revengeofthemordsith]

I've never heard of a drink that is depressing.

[thebestseller]

Depressant means it helps calm you, actually. It dulls your senses a bit.

[stefanged]

Thanks, Cara.

[Had anyone else posted this, Stefan would've been Concerned, but as it stands? She's Helping.]

Personally, I'm fond of a solution I call "Four: Eating," but I'm sure we'll bounce back soon.

[revengeofthemordsith]

Why would eating help? Is that not what we do every day?

[stefanged]

Of course. But sometimes, people relieve their emotions with food they like. Sometimes it's sweet, sometimes it's savory, but it's always something they enjoy.

[revengeofthemordsith]

That is a lot of feelings to have for food.

[stefanged]

Certainly, but if it makes people feel better? It's a worthwhile option.

[noprophecies]

number two always works do not listen to anyone who says otherwise

three works depending upon who the second party is

[revengeofthemordsith]

I don't see how. People always seem worse off than before.

[noprophecies]

perhaps it just not an option that works for them then

[revengeofthemordsith]

I suppose. Though I've seen enough taverns to be skeptical.

[noprophecies]

taverns are a terrible place to drink one's problems away

they are smelly and loud and full of drunk idiots

[airily]

Well, if you're looking for someone to cuddle with...

[ Zaveid, no. ]

[revengeofthemordsith]

Perhaps not. What if I accidentally crushed your windpipe in my sleep?

[airily]

You gotta be able to see my windpipe first.

[revengeofthemordsith]

I have excellent aim.

[airily]

Yeah, but can you aim at what you can't see?

You missed option number four: fightin'.

Re: voice;

[revengeofthemordsith]

[ Fair enough. ]

Fighting is what I do all the time. I don't know how much it helps when you're upset.

[helmsplitter]

[Honestly it's for the preservation of her sanity.]

Fighting's what I do, too, but punching someone in the face always makes me feel better. Or slashin' 'em, but you guys don't seem to have a lot of enemies runnin' around to kill.

So why're people all sad? Someone die?

Re: voice;

[revengeofthemordsith]

People left. I hear it happens frequently.

[ Cara can understand it. Somewhat. She doesn't know enough people and even if she did, feeling sad does not come easily to her. ]

And I imagine many in the Fleet take issue with being punched.

Re: voice;

[helmsplitter]

What happens when they leave? It's not like they die, right?

[Wasn't the point of this place to go home? Now Doudanuki is confused.]

Eh, then punch someone not in the Fleet. I'm sure someone'd want to get their frustration out the ol'fashioned way.
