Hug Brigade

[heavenly_earth]

[You. Stoic-face. Hi.]

[open]

[awokentospring]

[Lee is bustling around as usual, a big grin plastered across his face and with eager, open arms for hugging! If anyone is feeling down or just wants their character to get some snuggles in then he's the guy for you!]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Nope. There would be no hugging and the way Akiha had her arms crossed as she entered the area made it very clear there would be consequences if someone tried to hug her. But she was there because she had a question.]

Is this really necessary?

[awokentospring]

[Ah! SOMEONE TO HUG! But right now she doesn't look very receptive. Her question gives him hope, however.]

Of course! The Hug Brigade is here to boost moral as well as to offer consolation and a shoulder to cry on for those seeking it!

[ritsu_kouyou]

This is an idiotic way to boost morale. It's borderline creepy.

[And the name is stupid. Hmph.]

[awokentospring]

C-creepy?! [Lee is completely floored by this assertation. Never has a hug been classified as "creepy" in his book! But maybe that's because he's not a creeper, even if he's a bit nosy and presumptuous.]

I... I do believe you have the situation all wrong! When one is surrounded by continual reminders of "Death" then one can find oneself depressed or otherwise disheartened. We are here to counteract those bad feelings by offering good, happy, warm, fuzzy feelings by giving out hugs!

[Seriously, nothing creepy about it!]

[ritsu_kouyou]

Not all hugs are 'good', 'happy', 'warm', with 'fuzzy feelings'. Nor are they a cure-all. They violate a person's personal space. Saying you have good intentions doesn't mean you actually have good intentions.

[She's not meaning him, specifically, when she says 'you' but it probably sounds like she is.]

[awokentospring]

[Lee frowns, his lips drawing into a natural pout.]

But I do have good intentions... There is nothing strange about my hugs. If you are insinuating that you have seen any of my brigadiers acting in a way that was unfitting towards any of the citizens or guests here, then that would be one thing. However, until you can make a case against one of my members, I must insist that you cease grouping this club with any of those bad hugs you are referring to.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Very well. I still think this brigade is ridiculous.

[awokentospring]

[Still frowning, Lee tilts his head to the side.]

Could it be... you have never had a Good hug before?

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha gives him a scathing look. She actually hasn't had many hugs in her life because she generally doesn't like contact with others unless she initiates it or knows the person well. But that isn't the point here.]

You quantify your hugs? Tch.

[awokentospring]

Well, you said that not all hugs are good and happy and warm and full of fuzzy feelings. I was simply wondering if maybe that meant you had never had such a hug before, and that is...

[It was sad to think about, really.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

It doesn't require experience to know that. And I have had hugs I've enjoyed before. Simply not from strangers.

[awokentospring]

Ah, I see...

[He pauses, then puffs out his chest and offers her a big smile.]

Allow me to introduce myself! I am Rock Lee!

[ritsu_kouyou]

[It's only Akiha's upbringing that stops her from retorting with 'and?' in response to the introduction. Instead, she makes an acknowledging sound in the back of her throat.]

Did you come up with this hug thing or was this the brain child of someone else?

[awokentospring]

It was not my idea! [And he grins toothily before continuing:] It was my beloved sensei's brilliant mind that crafted the Hug Brigade! Along with his dear friend, a Major Maes Hughes-san!

[ritsu_kouyou]

Your sensei? [Oh, she has a bad feeling about this...]

[awokentospring]

Yes! Maito Gai-sensei!

[Lee spins in a flourishing movement, his teeth practically sparkling behind his grin.]

I have modeled myself into his image in hopes of someday becoming a strong, fearless and dependable shinobi, just as he is! And someday, even I will surpass him in strength and ability!

I'm so sorry for her.

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Yeah... no. No. Akiha is NOT dealing with mini-Gai. She just. Walks away after nodding to herself.]

LMAO NO NOW LEE HAS A REASON TO SEARCH HER OUT 8D

[awokentospring]

[Lee's smile fades as she begins moving away and she's already several steps ahead before he suddenly realizes she's not going to turn around and come back.]

H-hey! Wait! We did not finish our conversation!

[But whether or not she would turn around was up to her. Lee couldn't leave his post at the Brigade, at least not today...]

He must be a glutton for punishment

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha doesn't even looks back as he calls out to her. So not dealing with mini-Gai.]
