[ The feed turns on and is faced on Spain sitting in the common room of his apartment building. He's looking rather official and important but it's all a facade so don't be fooled. Considering the short amount of time he's been here, he has already mourned being ripped from his home and come up with a buenísima idea for how to bide his time while he is here. ]

Good afternoon citizens of-- [ ...this place has a difficult name to remember... ] --Hugville! Are you tired of being tired because you didn't get a hug today? But you're also tired of seeking out a hug or befriending people enough to earn a hug? Well, I'm here to tell you not to be tired!

[ He holds up a sign that he painstakingly and lovingly made himself. ]



That's right, amigos! Isn't it cute? I will give FREE HUGS to anyone who needs one! They work every time!

[ He smiles at the camera, hoping that a couple of beautiful señoritas or cute little kids will jump into his arms! It'd be worth the free price if Spain could rescue them from low energy! After a second of seeing his stupid, smiling face, the camera turns off. ]

[ ...he shrugs, looking slightly sheepish. ]

But I'm not lying?

It's true though! I'm willing to put my honor on the line! And my people! And my 2010 World Cup--

Hm. Maybe not that.

[missleadingquestions]

Hey, it's okay. I said if.

I don't think you're lying. [He kind of doesn't look capable of it.]

[tercio]

[ He's definitely not very good at it but he could if he wanted to. ]

I know I'm not!

But hey! I told you my name! What's yours?

[missleadingquestions]

Maya Fey. Ace Spirit Medium and co-manager of Wright & Co. Law offices.

1/2

[tercio]

[ omg she's so cute. ]

[tercio]

Such a beautiful name! It's nice to meet you, Maya. I'd shake your hand but this is a video.

[ He laughs. ]

[missleadingquestions]

You're pretty charming, huh? We'll have a chance to shake hands later, I guess.

[tercio]

Well, you might not know much about me but I am the country of passion...

And this place isn't so bad if it gives me a chance to meet señoritas such as yourself!

[missleadingquestions]

You know, you kind of remind me of a friend of mine. [Larry. Except much less of a loser.]

I don't think it's so bad at all-- I mean, I guess they just need help. It'd be kind of nice if they'd asked first, though.

[tercio]

I do? Maybe he is one of my citizens?? [ He's flattered and it shows. He must not know your friend is apparently a loser, Maya. ]

I think they wanted to make sure they were choosing the right people for the job.

[ He's so ready to hug and save the day. ]

[missleadingquestions]

No, no, I don't think he is. [She laughs, though; that's a hilarious mental image.]

Maybe so! But I've heard some people have already gotten sick...

[tercio]

We look the same, maybe?

[ Hm. He looks as though he's think but that's clearly fake. ]

I know of a few people here who will probably get sick as well. Some people have to work on being a little less mean and unhuggable.

[missleadingquestions]

Nnnnooo. He's... Flirtatious. [Well, he is.]

Yeah, I know some people back home who were kinda like that... Hopefully they won't get here.

[Someone getting FRANZISKA VON KARMA to hug people would be hilarious though. She tries not to laugh at the thought.]

[tercio]

Flirtatious? Is that what you think I am? [ He was more going for passionate and romantic. He's not unhappy to hear this because it's pretty true. However, she should meet some of his other friends... ] I guess it's just when there is a pretty and sweet señorita such as yourself, I can't help it.

Yes! And if they show up here, we need to help them no matter how painful it is for us! [ She is thinking of FRANZISKA VON KARMA and Spain is thinking of another Germanly named person. ]

[missleadingquestions]

[You're really doing nothing to prove her wrong, Toni.] It's not so bad, don't worry. [Not as bad as Larry, anyway, and the thought of Larry in this city is one that makes Maya have to fight off even more laughter.]

Of course we do. Even if it's kind of their fault. They don't really deserve to get that sick. [Their Germanly named friends sure share a bad habit of being way too intense for hugs, huh.]

[tercio]

Okay, that's good then! [ And he's no longer worried about being perceived weirdly. [

...hahaha! I was kind of hoping you'd disagree with me on that one. [ No one wants to hug someone who is too Germanly intense anyway. ]

[missleadingquestions]

Well, I'm pretty sure my friend would make things a lot harder for everybody if she got sick. [SIGH.]

Sooo it's better to do that... [And maybe make sure there are no whips or riding crops around because really that's going to make hugging Franziska a lot harder.] Besides, it's no fun if your friends are sick!

[tercio]

Well, that part of her sounds like a friend that I know actually. [ And Spain doesn't find that aspect of his good ol' buddy charming or cute at all...

Nor does he find the backwards bracket in his previous tag that apparently went unproofread. ]

This will be a lot of hard work for a free business.

[missleadingquestions]

Well, yeah. But I mean, at least that means you'll never get sick, right?

[It's alright. Maya's totally not laughing at those brackets, that's all.

She is, however, contemplating something else.]

Or would it make you even healthier?

[tercio]

Wouldn't that be interesting? Usually I get tired around 2:00 when it's time for a siesta but since being here, I haven't been able to take one.

Kind of disappointing.

[ Loves his daily naps. ]

Would you ever think of joining me in doing something like this?

[ ABRUPT SUBJECT CHANGE WITH ABSOLUTELY NO FLOW FROM ONE TO THE OTHER. ]

[missleadingquestions]

Wow, getting to nap every day sounds kind of aweso--

oh! Of course!

[She even looks kind of pumped and doesn't seem to mind that subject change but let's be real she's been guilty of worse.]

Are you putting together a team?

[tercio]

It is awesome! I don't know why more places don't also adopt the idea of shutting down businesses from 2-5pm so that everyone can have a nap! [ True facts.

omg her pumped face is so adorable! ]

I am now!

[missleadingquestions]

I guess if our cases weren't so short, I'd make us take naps during work, too.

[But when turnabout court only lasts three days, sleep is kind of not helpful.]

Of course I'd help, then! No one needs to get sick, aand we all need to get that energy crisis fixed so we can go home!

[tercio]

Cases?

[ Sleep would make you feel more refreshed for when you're doing the cases. Just saying. And people would probably be less grumpy and commit fewer crimes! JUST. SAYING. ]

We've got this, Maya! With our help, we'll be home tomorrow! [ He's not nearly this motivated. ]

[missleadingquestions]

Cases, yes! My, uh, 'boss' is a lawyer. He's also my best friend. I work with him on cases!

[Maybe so, but sleep isn't going to help most of these criminals.... and certainly won't make turnabouts any longer.]
