Charlene Roberta McGee
[The device kicks on and Charlie's caught mid-sentence.]

---don't know you, though. Could you please let go of me?

[There's grumbling from someone and an apology and they head off and Charlie's speaking again, mumbling.]

Random as hell. Must be a cur---[Whatever is going on must be happening again because Charlie stops speaking for a moment, long enough to siiiiiigh.]

Th-thank you for the hug. Yes, I know you. You're a regular at the Jasmine Dragon. [Pause. Someone's speaking and they sound cheerful.] Yes, I'll see you tomorrow.

[Another pause. The person is talking again.] I don't always look like I need a hug. What are you talking about?

[And the device shuts off.]

[ooc: charlie's running errands. she's at the grocery store or a bookstore or on her way home. Hugs must happen to her. Yes. She will not burn anyone, I promise. Unless they hold on too long.]

[ooc: Stephen will be available for giving/receiving hugs at The Blue Light today, as well as walking to and from work, or anyone who can catch him at home. COME AT HIM, YO.]

[Rain is happily hugging everyone who comes into the Library or whom she meets anywhere.]

Isn't today a lovely day!



[Please do stop by to be hugged!]

Derek's gone too now. This is getting... really hard to cope with.

I've got a bunch of errands to run and later I think I might go for a run. A real one.



[Feel free to run into and hug Mercy anywhere throughout the City or at the magic shop. Or, if you'd like to run into a coyote in the woods later, just put that in your tag.]
 
 
Captain Jack Harkness ☯ Doctor Who / Torchwood
14 May 2012 @ 11:51 am
[Jack isn't out giving hugs but he is out and about accepting them and returning them with a little more than a hug. Far be it for him to turn down a nice little bit of intimacy and today is obviously the perfect day for that. He's walking around the City here and there and everywhere soaking it up like a sponge.

So, good people of the City, when you see Jack out and about walking, hug him at your own risk. You may get more in return than you bargained for.

Isabela
14 May 2012 @ 01:12 pm
[Isabela's on her ship, the ocean spread out behind her beyond the wooden railing of her beloved brigantine. She's no longer wearing an eyepatch, but she does look particularly contemplative.]

Not a single sex dream? Pity.

[Despite the calm in comparison to her own world, she did watch a few of the videos on the network. Not all of them were pretty, and even Isabela's humor is tempered by them.]

[ooc | Today is a study day- will be slow on tags!]
 
 
THE ARCHIVE
14 May 2012 @ 01:20 pm
[ Ivy is sitting on a table surrounded by scrap parts of metal in a workshop— Stark's, for people who recognise it — her dress probably the cleanest thing in the entire place and her legs dangling. ]

That will not work. You're missing a variable.

[ At the edge of the video, Howard Stark's head is visible as he turns to say something, but the words themselves aren't picked up. ]

No. It is my purpose to preserve knowledge, not to impart it.

[ But she hops off the table and walks over to him, careful not to step on any bits of— robot (?).

And hugs him.

Her expression and tone both make clear that it isn't by choice.
] I did not want to do that.
 
 
Eagle Vision
14 May 2012 @ 01:51 pm
[Video / Action]

[There was a bright light, a sense that he was no longer in the Pillar Room, and then… the cold hard surface of the pavement beneath his hands. Eagle struggled to look up. The experience in Cephiro had been very draining but he was here, alive, he must have been found worthy enough to become the Pillar. ]

Where is…?

[This place looked nothing at all like Cephiro. It was too developed, to ‘City-like’. He didn‘t even notice the small device sitting by his side recording everything.]

Is this also part of the test? No… I think we were both able to leave the Pillar room, but if that is the case just where is this?

[He was talking to himself or so he thought but some random citizen ran over to hug him anyway. Eagle had to chuckle a bit as the random person left again.]

At least the people here are very friendly.


[OOC: Run into Eagle as he re-investigate the City fresh from his canon update? Hugs welcome. ^^]
 
 
Lantis
14 May 2012 @ 02:00 pm
I'm not sure if I should ask this but...

[Wow Lantis looks really flustered. He normally doesn't ask things like this! It's hard!]

...would anyone like to have a hug?
 
 
Jace Lightwood
14 May 2012 @ 02:03 pm
[Jace appears to be on his couch at Lucy's shop. Naturally he is shirtless because the job requirements say he needs to be.]

I think that there is a curse going around today. I don't think I've ever had this many hugs on the job in one day before.

Typically it's look and don't touch, after all.
 
 
Kaito Wanijima
14 May 2012 @ 02:08 pm
[That's a rather scary look on Kaito's face. He even has his gun in view for all of you to see!]

Next person to hug me that isn't family gets shot.

No questions asked.

Got it?
 
 
Amy Pond
14 May 2012 @ 02:14 pm
[ Amy's at work, tending bar and for a Sunday night, the drinks are still flowing freely and there's a sizable crowd.

There's some people hugging, but, well. They're just drunk, right?

Right.

She doesn't mind until someone actually takes her arm when she hands them a drink, pulling her into a hug over the bar.
]

Oi. Stop that. [ A beat. ] What's that all about, then?


[ Backdated to around midnight. Also, feel free to have your character be the one who hugged her. ALL THE HUGS, okay. ]

Rare as it is for this place to give me a curse that I would actually enjoy, I plan not to waste this opportunity.

Come my friends, my arms will openly welcome you.
 
 
Tessa Gray
14 May 2012 @ 02:53 pm
[ The video conveniently turns itself on when the front door opens; revealing Howl leaning against the frame.

Tessa's frowning. You would, too, if you could smell the alcohol.
]

Are you all right?

[ She steps closer and ends up hugging him for a solid minute. When she draws back, her face is a mix of annoyance and embarrassment. ]

It is one of those days, is it not? [ She looks up. ] At least there are no mistletoes.
 
 
Rita Mordio
14 May 2012 @ 03:27 pm
It's been a rough few days with that curse and all, so...

[Rather than find people to hug, Rita has set her device to video. And now she pulls it into her chest and hugs it, giving it a good half-minute squeeze before she pulls it away, face now red.]

Th-that's all you're getting from me, got it?

[ooc: Cursed! Feel free to action either at the house or out and about in the City.]
 
 
Robert Fischer
14 May 2012 @ 04:34 pm
The next time one of you decides to hug me on the street, I'd appreciate some advance warning first. [He doesn't seem to realize the video function is on, as he isn't looking directly at the camera while he straightens out his tie and rumpled suit jacket.] Or the number of a good lawyer. If there are any in this damn city.

( OOC: Yup, Fischer is open to any and all hugs today. Go get him. )

I'm running a little late. Can someone back a guy up and--

[Fuuuuuaurughrbkagrhguh. Somebody just hugged him and it huuuuurts. There's a son of a bitch and oh mah gawd and the sound of a heavy fist colliding with a face (not his, thanks). Commotion in front of the hospital get. Huff puff.]

I'm gonna--I'm out.

[ooc: Backdated to around 10am this morning please!]

Rose Tyler
14 May 2012 @ 08:35 pm
[Rose is out running about the City. She thinks today's curse is brilliant and she's going to hug everyone she sees. It's a day off; the weather is beautiful and she's in a good mood. Catch her at the park or walking to the diner for chips, or in the diner, perhaps even at the zoo. Fair warning, she tends to specialize in tackle hugs and accustomed to Doctors and Jack who catch her when she flings herself at them.]
 
 
(lady) "just a flesh wound" sif
14 May 2012 @ 08:53 pm
[In range with the other accidental videos on the network today - because the City apparently likes to share the tender moments - this one begins at the worst moment: the moment Tony Stark gets thrown on his ass to the wrestling mat.]

Okay, if you wanted to bruise my ass, you could have picked a more conventional method.

[A hand comes into view - the owner of the device recording this - and pulls him up. Once he's up, wincing at the bruise, there's a pause - and then there's darkness. And a long silence. And the hug in between.]

You seemed...disappointed in your defeat. I feel compelled to make you feel better.

[ooc; Red is Tony, regular font is Sif. The device is strapped somewhere on her hip, and that's the angle you're getting with this. Afterwards, she will be out and about, so FEEL FREE to action! this motherfucker into eternity and beyond, and she will hug you. If you look 'disappointed'. What is sadness, Sif please don't punch me (don't punch me), no more. Street's the most likely place she'll run into anyone.]
 
 
Mae Crawford
14 May 2012 @ 10:05 pm
Really?

I'll take one.


[ooc; WHAT? Don't you judge her, she's been having a crap month with Nick leaving :c. Mae will be either at work or reading a book in the park, depending on the time of the day. So text/video/voice/action are all go.]
 
 
Merlin of Ealdor ♣ Emrys
[Merlin's looking considerably more cheerful today. Because it is a rather good day, City!]

So I guess I'm not the only one feeling a little odd today. I have to admit, it's not so bad, though.

Who wants a hug?

[Because he rather likes hugs, so why not.]

((OOC: /quietly leaves this here and goes to bed harhar))
 
 
Иван Райденович Райков
14 May 2012 @ 10:56 pm
[Raikov's looking rather chipper - perhaps even a bit smug. All that can be seen in the video is mostly his upper body, bit of a pencil, and what appears to be Café Juliet behind him. He seems to be writing something... or perhaps drawing]

I'm rather enjoying today, even with having to hug people I'd normally not do so to.

[The Russian stops to tap the pencil against his bottom lip, smirking at the device]

Seems some of you can't handle our style of embracing though. I've heard all too many backs cracking and uncomfortable grunting throughout the day. Tsk tsk...

[He goes back to drawing, and when he speaks again, it's in Russian]

/I wanted to enjoy the weather and the effects of the curse, so I decided to stop at Café Juliet on my way back from work for some tea. Won't you join me, Zhenya?/
 
 
Reim/Liam Lunettes
14 May 2012 @ 10:59 pm
[ Liam cleared his throat gently before smiling into the camera. One should always look amicable when making a public appearance. ]

As much as I’ve enjoyed all the attention today, I would like to remind everyone to keep a close eye on their valuables or, better yet, leave them at home today. It’s always so easy to get caught up in these curses…

[ thankfully, he still had his pocketbook. That’s where his true treasure lied after all. ]

((ooc: action more then welcomed! Liam will be happy to give out (and receive) hugs))
 
 
Arthur Pendragon
14 May 2012 @ 11:20 pm
[ Cue one Arthur wearing a hat and a red shirt with the ever famous pizza logo on the front. Also cue one Arthur holding a pizza box high above his head as the tail end of a glom shows on the screen, his phone having been knocked out of his pocket to fall on the ground and start the feed. ]

Yes. Yes I know you’re starving. Now will you please let me go?

[ this was one awful day to start a new job and of all of them, did it have to be a pizza delivery man? Never again, would he take the advice of a friend. It was most certainly not worth the humiliation. ]

((ooc: Feel free to order a pizza and have Arthur delivery it! He certainly needs a few more reasons to quit this job before the end of the day, pft. ))
