Greetings. I am a new arrival to this world. I will assist to the best of my ability.

However, I must ask . . . is it true that we must be . . . touching? What does that mean? What level of touch is acceptable?

Are there tiers of touch? Surely, someone must have worked out a system.

[Here's a guy with a monkey tail to explain!]

Well, the most ideal thing is to do a touch that lingers for a while, like handholding... but I know for a fact that sparring with someone is also a good way to work around the requirement. You just need to do it a lot more than holding someone's hand for a while.
totallycalledit: (Heeey~)

There's all sorts of people here, so I'm sure there are. And if you're worried about humans, there's plenty of other types of people too. But I wouldn't be too worried about humans handling it. Most people I know are and they're plenty strong.

Well, you're in luck. I have something like an insurance for injuries while sparring. I could help you out.
totallycalledit: (Count on me)

Well, I have this thing called Aura, that's basically the manifestation of my soul and it grants me protection from harm.

I would, I enjoy sparring quite a bit. And it hasn't interfered so far, so I'm positive it won't.

Greetings.

[ ... she does not know if his name is "Revanche", nor does she know how to pronounce it. As such, she will call him "Mister" until he introduces himself. ]

I do not believe any of us have discovered a system just yet, but even just handholding will do.

[ She's not aware of the sparring thing yet, but at least Sun covers that! ]

When you lose energy, or feel weak, being in contact with someone will help you in feeling better, as well.

Then. . . perhaps touching elbows with another person? It need not be intimate.

[ And she doesn't think it makes any difference with the amount of energy you gain back, or how good it feels. ]

If you go for days without any contact with anyone, you will turn to stone.

When I went a few days without touching anyone, I felt awful, and didn't have the energy to leave my apartment. I don't recommend cutting it close - the more you put it off, the harder it is to go out and get the touch you need.

[But surely Nil has fewer hangups about imposing himself on people, right.]

Holding hands is plenty to get by.

I usually hold hands. Or touch a face. Either of those works, but it is best with bare hands. If you wear gloves it does not feel as good.

I dunno if there's a system, but it's not hard! I get by hugging and holding people's hands all the time, since that's just normal stuff you do with everyone!

[Rinku, not everyone is as affectionate as you are.]
roundandaround: Concern. (oh no)

[personal profile] roundandaround 2023-04-17 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Why not? Don't you make friends like that?
roundandaround: Chided. (uguu)

[personal profile] roundandaround 2023-04-17 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
That's part of it too, though...
roundandaround: Confused. (eh?)

But doesn't it feel so lonely and weird if you don't?
