Okay all, that was a whole thing last month. And I know that there are plenty of people who are still... shaken from it. So I'm going to do the best I can to help you.

I'm offering hugs and a caring ear and my personal hot chocolate recipe. I know it's not a lot, but trust me, I'm used to big traumas like this. And it's a good place to start. I'm happy to travel to do it.

Or, you know, we could set up an emotional support group. Allowed across guilds and vigilantes too, sorta a neutral space. You know, if you want.

Thank you.

I came here about a year ago now. Before that - a lot had happened in my world, right before that.
It's been a difficult few months.

[atypical_echo]

If I've noticed one thing from the people I met here who are also Starfallen, it's that a lot happened to us before we came here. Maybe that's why we come.

Because so much happened.

But difficulty is something we work through, day by day, step by step. Or so experience tells me.

[doctopoda]

Mine as well.
Funny how quickly the time seems to pass here in spite of it.

[atypical_echo]

I've definitely seen time pass more slowly, yes.

[doctopoda]

It's the constant catastrophes.

[atypical_echo]

Exactly. It sort of... compresses time.

[doctopoda]

Feels like I haven't slept for a year and a half.

[atypical_echo]

Maybe you need a nice nap.

[doctopoda]

Oh, that won't happen. I haven't slept well for ages.

[Since. You know. The Shit (tm).]

[atypical_echo]

Okay, I have advice for that, shocking enough. Go find an animal rescue that will let you play with their animals. Play for a long while. When you get tired after that, go take a nap.

It helps.

[doctopoda]

Interesting. Maybe I'll give that a shot.

[A lot of his sleep problems just boil down to physical pain, unfortunately. But Mark's being kind; Otto doesn't want to shoot down his suggestions.]

[atypical_echo]

[Mark doesn't know about the pain stuff, and those he can't help with.]

Good luck man!
