That was by far my favorite shift ever. I kept 'forgetting' to eat (I would get a meal and feed it to an animal or the dragon or someone else) so that I kept getting slower and slower over time time like I was getting worn out. It ended with another person with vaguely kid vibes and I making a 'slide' by spilling space lube in a line and running at it really fast to slip really far, before True Name (@hamratza) had to literally drag me off the playground to the evac shuttle to make it home.
That was just so fulfilling.
A Finger Pointing made her lunch (grill chee, tomato soup, a rainbow snowcone, and a plushie) and also Mirischaev, the one who gave the concert yesterday, finished the snowman!
@hamratza has been such an unrelentingly positive force in my life, from giving me this lovely roleplay venue to encouraging me in my skunkery to just plain making me feel good. Hff.
Motes got too stressed because of $PLOT and started pulling out her fur, so the story is someone prescribed her a benzo to chill her out, which manifested in-game as having narcolepsy, which I played by waiting until others woke her rather than waking her myself. I could emote things, but not speak, so I kept emoting her curling around a plushie or hugging her own tail or whatever.
I did so in the bar by Silas, who has a habit of being a bit of a clown, and he just latched onto it as the cutest thing, replacing the steel flooring beneath Motes with carpet, and then slowly building an altar of plushies (and, for some reason, Black Russians) around her, putting out calls on the radio for everyone to hunt down or buy plushies to pile on top of her, trying to convince logistics to buy crates of plushes, even putting a blanket cape on her. Soon, there was a whole, like...Motes Donation Center complete with Silas and Mirischaev standing guard to keep anyone from waking her for nearly two hours. Since she wound up starving and dehydrated, she moved at quarter speed, so they even carried her to the escape shuttle.
Funnest shift in a while, and I spent 90% of it asleep. Things have been really bad the last few days, but this was a bit of brightness.
