[Have a cheerful looking girl smiling widely at the camera, as if she has no worries in the whole world.]

Yaa-hoo, everyone!!

So, like, my name's Angelique Sheeran and I'm, like, new here in Genessia. Actually, I, like, arrived here a week ago or so, but, like, I forgot to introduce myself openly. I would, like, apologize but I don't, like, think it really matters, does it?

Anyway!! I mostly just, like, wanted to make this as a warning or an advertisment? However you rather, like, consider it, to say that today I'm going to, like, be around all the cities to get to know them and, like, everyone in them. I would, like, love to get to know some of you, or, like, all of you but, like, I know that's not possible. So if you want to, like, talk or something I'll be available on here or, like, you can come see me in person and get hug!

[She shifts to show a sign and that she's holding that reads "FREE HUGS".]

Because, like, there's nothing wrong with hugs and, like, they are a great thing to share! You don't, like, need to hug back if you don't like, that's why they are, like, free hugs! And they are, like, super healthy!

[Specially for the girl that will try to sneak and absorb tiny little bits of energy from each hug, not even enough to make people feel tired, though they may feel slightly breathless.]

[Hello perky fellow blonde!]

[HAVE A HUG!]

Action / Everglade

[deadlybang]

[YES, HUGS! ALL THE HUGS!]

[She only laughs when she sees the other blonde girl going to her. And takes the smallest amout of energy possible. It's okay, she survived for months with even less actually.]

I, like, thought here no one would want one!

[Either because they sensed she wasn't human or something else.]

[bigbadrose]

What really? But hugs are great! I mean you'd think I'd get enough between Koishis and my boyfriend, but you can never have enough hugs.

Action / Everglade

[deadlybang]

[She laughs again.]

Well, like, this is where vampires and, like, demons and whatnot live, right? So, like, I thought maybe they, like, didn't like hugs.

There are, like, never enough hugs anywhere. Or cuddling, I, like, also love cuddling but I, like, have a boyfriend for that too.

[And not just because she feeds on them.]

I'm Angelique! What's your name?

[Look who's just waltzing down the street; it's your not! boyfriend. Not! boyfriend, because someone has Emmett's face or Emmett's, has this face. Either way; Ten sees the 'Free Hugs' sign and being back to himself - can't not pass this up. His arms spread wide and his brown eyes light up and gives the stranger a big Doctor hug. Which means basically full of love; two heartbeats; and smelling like Rose, sex, lollipops and space. As Ten hugs her notices the appeasing smells of vanilla and citrus and basically any aphrodisiac smell and sex and lack of any human smell. He'll be friendly but also cautious.]

[She actually pauses a second because, that's definitively Carver. But she's pretty sure he wouldn't go and have a look change just like that. Or maybe he would, she has only known him for a week but he seemed more the type of being happy with how he is.]

[Of course it doesn't matter and she hugs back and... Yes, that's definitively not Carver. Not only he smells differently but his energy feels differently. She offers a big smile either way.]

You know, like, you may not believe me... But my boyfriend, like, totally looks like you.

My name's Angelique! Nice to meet you!

Re: Action/Everglade

[borntolove]

[A big smile back]

Yes. We've met. Glad to hear that he's still alive.

Hallo, I'm The Doctor. Good to meet you.

[What about her is the trap? Think. Really appeasing smell to lure others in. Most likely for the other strong smell of sex - what creature would be dangerous this way?]

Action/Everglade

[deadlybang]

[A giggle.]

I would, like, be pretty upset if he wasn't... And I, like, prefer to not think about him not lasting.

[Specially since it may be her fault that he won't last.]

The Doctor... So, like, is "The", like, totally part of the name? So, like, not just Doctor? What do you, like, treat? Or is it, like, just the name?

[Video]

[despisesthegods]

[Styxx thinks his brain might have just exploded because of the amount of "likes" said in all of that. Had it been necessary?]

You do realize you do not need to say "like" in the middle of each sentence.

[Video]

[deadlybang]

Sorry! It's just, like-... Oh, god, sorry! I can't, like, help it!

[She laughs again, visibly embarrassed.]

I don't really, like, realize it half of the time. I mean, like- Argh! Sorry!

[Except that she realizes it, a good part of the time. But it's also true that after two years of the charade sometimes she slips. And that she only drops it when she's relaxed and in private.]

[Either way, even if in this world she doesn't have to keep the charade, there's no way she's going to drop it. Not when, as far as she knows, her parents could suddenly pop up around there.]

I've just-... Always talked like this. So, like, it's natural?

[anamnestik]

It is such a pleasure to meet you, Ms Angelique! I'm not sure about hugs, but I am quite open to conversation. I hope you've been settling well? Are you comfortable in your commons housing?

video

[deadlybang]

Oh, just Angelique is, like, fine! Ms Angelique makes me feel, like, as if I'm being called to the principal's office.

[She giggles at the memory, despite it not being a funny one at all.]

But, like, I think I'm settling pretty well. My boyfriend and I are, like, trying to decide on where to settle, but until then the temporal housing is, like, pretty good! Have you been here, like, for long?

[anamnestik]

[Eliot giggles along with her, nodding.] A boyfriend? How wonderful! Do you both intend to live together? Housing will be easier to acquire with someone to split rent!

And yes, for a number of months now. I live in Genessia City myself. Have any of the cities stuck out to you thus far?

[trollkeru]

You certainly sound like a chipper lady. It's nice to see.

video;

[deadlybang]

Aw, thank you! I like to try to, like, keep an optimist attitude at all times. No point, like, getting all depressed all the time, you know?

video;

[trollkeru]

I mean, sometimes it's okay to be sad if you are. Shouldn't force how you feel.

[Says the guy who hides stuff if it involves certain situations.]

I mean you could but it might end up showing in other ways.

[tsukihito]

Your voice irritates me, woman.

[The grumpy fox god is grumpy and a little irritated right now. He's having a tough day back in Genessia City. The poor thing isn't taking the news of being kidnapped very smoothly. He could learn a thing or two from this cheerful blond.

Nevertheless, those white fluffy fox ears are folded against his head right now.]

video

[deadlybang]

[Not the first time she has heard that, though normally it's more aimed to her being super cheerful or the abuse of "like".]

[Either way she smiles and makes sure to lower her voice when she replies.]

So sorry. Was I, like, too loud? I think I got, like, a bit too enthusiastic.

Re: video

[tsukihito]

[Prepared to argue, Tsukihito is actually surprised that the woman listens to him without a fight. He smiles some and holds himself with more stature. Way to stroke his ego.

This little shit thinks he's a big shot again.]

Much better. [He nods.] Yes, you was a tad loud. Though, I can't fault you.

This is a beautiful world to behold.

[watcheddog]

[He wants to punch every idiot that complained about her. She's perfect and he lov--]

[...]

[Needs to get a grip.]

Hugs?

[He would not be able to restrain himself to a hug. This is why it's video.]

[And even if he sounds judging, he's not. He just wants to listen to her be super cute and explain something ridiculous like why hugs are good.]

[Super cute. Super ridiculous.]

[Like totally.]

[Okay he loves her. Fight him.]

[Video]

[deadlybang]

[After talking with Rose and, specially, the realization that one day Angelique, the human one, could show up. She would have expected Carver's voice to only make her panic more by bringing it all up again because she would automatically think of it all and how and when to tell him.]

[It doesn't.]

[Instead she feels the impulse of complaining that he only said one word, wanting to hear his voice more. And seeing his face actually makes it very easy to just push the worries aside. Remind her to focus on what's ahead of her and not what-ifs that have even little ground to sustain themselves to begin with.]

Free hugs!

[She smiles cheerfully, even more than before because this is Carver she's talking to. And she raises and waves her sign to emphasize her claim.]

Because, like, everyone needs a hug at least once every day! It's, like, super healthy! And, like, a great way to get to know people! People are always, like, more relaxed after a hug so it makes talking easier.

[A pause and her smile turns into a soft smirk.]

Oh, but don't, like, go getting worried. I reserve, like, my best hugs only for you, you know.

[Video]

[watcheddog]

[Wry grin in spite of himself, it crinkling the corners of his eyes.]

Really.

[CLEARLY SKEPTICAL OF THE SUPPOSED BENEFITS OF HUGS.]

[And that last part... a small smug smirk.] Oh, I'm sure. [Well, he wasn't. But he refuses to be paranoid, and if she wants to--]

[...]

[....]

[Okay no, he can't even think of her doing what his ex-wife did, he'll break a universe or something, oops.]

[WHATEVER! HE JUST TRUSTS HER?!?!?!]

[That she wants him. A lot.]

[FUCK IF EITHER OF THEM KNOW WHY THOUGH.]

Tell me more about the benefits of hugs, because I'm not sure I believe you.

An orange and white alien walks down the center of the street. Her expression is easy to read, her huge eyes pained and brimming with tears. She looks around at everything like she's new here, but she seems to be having a worse day than most newcomers...

[deadlybang]

Free hugs! Everybody needs some love!

[Angelique is pretty much into her advertisment when she notices the alien girl. She has seem many weird things in her world, but orange people definitively were never among them and so she can't help but look with a bit more of attention.]

[Until she notices her expression, she may not be too good with human emotions and the other girl may not be human, but she can recognize the face of someone who's having a hard day. And who would use a hug. So the blonde makes a beeline to the girl, holding her sign in clear sight.]

Hello! Would you like a hug? Don't worry, it's like totally free and I've like many to give.

[2whitelights]

The few people she'd seen in Nova City hadn't given her a second glance - but she'd been walking with Grievous, and either people were used to the sight of him stalking about or just had the good sense not to gawk. Here, where she'd been sent to get set up with housing - it seemed to be a city of humans who didn't get a lot of aliens. People had been staring or moving quietly away. But then, that might have been her mood, too: she wasn't in control of her emotions, and they were probably boiling off her.

So when the small perky human with the odd sign offered a hug, she managed a wan smile.

"I would love a hug, thank you."

She opened her arms wide.
