[ 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. ]

[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.]

[tercio]

Your boss is a lawyer? So are you a lawyer too?

[ Sleep helps everything. ]

[missleadingquestions]

Nah, I'm just a spirit medium. All I do is channel the dead. I mean, I'm also the co-manager of the Law Offices, though.

[S P A R K L E.]

[tercio]

Channel the dead? Really?

Just make sure you don't commit any crimes and run from them because then you'd be a small medium at large.

[ lol. ]

[missleadingquestions]

[Maya is thoroughly amused.]

Hahaha! That was a good one! You're pretty funny, huh.

[tercio]

I'm hilarious! [ Apparently. ]

But that's my only medium joke.

[missleadingquestions]

Yeah, I don't know a lot of them either.

I knew a clown who'd like to make a lot of jokes, but he wasn't all that good at it. [That case. Well, it'd... sort-of-been fun.

[tercio]

You know a lot of interesting people. A lawyer, a clown and lots of ghosts...?

[ He really has no idea where this conversation is going but she's adorable so he just wants to see her smile and laugh and do other cute things. ]

[missleadingquestions]

Well, we get to meet lots of people when we're helping with cases. We met a magician and a few actors and a master thief, too!

...Well, he wasn't exactly a master thief, but you get what I mean.

[tercio]

[ No, he really doesn't get what you mean... ]

Then what was he...?

Maybe I should be a lawyer!

[missleadingquestions]

Lawyers kind of take the fall a lot, though. Pretty much no one's nice to Nick, except if they need his help.

[AND EVEN THEN. Not that she's super nice to him at all.]

...He was kind of a master cry baby, but he was still pretty brave. He saved his wife from robbers once.
