[comradery]

[What's this? It seems like Hughes is at it again! What a loser! It's the Hug Brigade!

He is lingering around the grounds with a sign advertising free hugs. Feel free to join him and the rest of the team! Free hugs for everyone!!]

[OPEN]

[spandexisyouth]

[Once Gai's attended to a few matters, he rushes over to join Maes and continue their idea.]

Is Signless coming too?

[comradery]

Heya! [Hughes grins and gives a friendly wave.]

He might! I told him about it at least, hehe. The extra pair of arms would definitely be handy!

You ready for some early morning hugging action?

[OPEN]

[kuramaless]

[Free hugs?

Seriously.

It sounds like something Lee or Gai would come up with, so he's just going to be avoiding that like the plague. Remember, that weird guy with the hair and the glasses wants hugs.

To get past he just side-eyes Hughes as he walks by. Just don't look interested and nothing will go wrong. Nope.]

[comradery]

[Naruto's error is even allowing Hughes to notice him looking.

He grins boisterously and jogs over.]

Hey, kiddo! Would you like a free hug? You seem unsure about getting one! Perhaps you need some persuasion?

[shiromadoushi]

[[covering a small laugh at that, so amused]]

Had many takers?

[comradery]

Bakura! Good morning, hahaha!

Surprisingly, no. I don't know why people wouldn't want free hugs though! They're free! And harmless! Hugs are great!

[A pause.]

Would you like one?

[idkmybffsacca]

[ Tenma takes a moment to read the sign before he smiles and laughs up at the man. ]

Haha, since when do hugs cost anything? Hugs are always free!

[spandexisyouth]

[Gai's there too, and he gladly takes this question.]

Of course they are free! We are trying to make people aware that they are available! Would you like one?

[nofarplaneyet]

((OOC: I'm not sure Auron knows what he looks like since Hughes always used audio before so...))

*Who was this guy and what was he doing?*

So...what are these for?

[comradery]

[(OOC: Hughes actually uses video for his posts though has a tendency to use audio for replies since it's more phone-like, so I wouldn't put it past anyone to forget what he looks like unless he used video replying to them. Whichever case you would prefer is fine with me.)

Hughes grins broadly.]

For love! And joy! We're spreading around happiness! Though times may be tough, we want to remind people that they don't have to go through it alone!

[motherofthesun]

[Do free hugs include tackles from wolves?]

[Because that's what this wolf is doing now... running and tackle pouncing.]

[comradery]

[And a wonderful pounce it is! 10 points!

Hughes gets knocked down from the force, but he just laughs because he had caught sight of her charging—which was adorable despite how intimidating it probably should have been.]

Ammy!! Hahaha! Good morning to you too!

[He grapples her into a big bear hug.]

How have you been, eh? It's good to see you!

[itaidakimasu]

{She claps a hand over her mouth to muffle her giggles at the sign.}

That's a new idea...

[comradery]

[Hughes chuckles.]

I think it's a brilliant idea! What's your take? Would you like one?

[nopunintendid]

Free hugs...?

[ Reading that sign somewhat incredulously. Do people really enjoy hugging virtual strangers? ]

What, is that a plan to boost morale, or something?

[comradery]

[Hughes turns, catching the question.]

Not exactly. It's mostly ju— Oh! It's Junpei! Nice to see you out and about, hehe! It's me! Hughes! [He grins and points at himself.]

But, yeah, it's mostly just us wanting to give hugs, actually. Hugs are nice, don't you think? I suppose you could look at it as a morale booster of sorts, but...I just want to spread the love, y'know? It's always tough having to deal with stuff on your own, and we just want to remind people that they don't have to go through that kind of thing by themselves. There are people here willing to support them, so they don't need to be alone. That sort of thing.

[He edges closer, grinning broadly.]

Would you like a hug?

[kaminotakuto]

[Don't mind as he stares. Offering free hugs just seems weird to him after all.}

[topgun_textiles]

...The hell is this?

[malandragem]

[There is a tiny girl blinking at that sign and you alternately like you crazy Hughes. What do?]

[glassworkgenius]

Yay, free hugs!

[Hey he's not going to question it! Sunny boy diving into the arms of the nearest hug brigade member!]

[timelessummoner]

[...Raidou doesn't understand. Free hugs? As opposed to... ones you'd have to pay for? But why would anyone pay for hugs, anyway? What is so special about getting them for free that you'd want to advertise it?]

[toukakoukan]

[Somehow, he's not surprised. He goes over to Hughes to say hello, but he's really had enough hugs so don't even try it. :|]

So is the sign working?

[towered]

[ She peers curiously at the sign. ]

Free hugs...?

[OPEN]

[ninjainviolet]

[As much as she likes these two, unless they're a small, furry animal with three tails, she's not giving or taking hugs.]

Ummmm....This is a new way to train.
