[ 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. ]

[ Jack chuckled as he slowly worked his way through the messages on the terminal, still not used to the technology, but finding it useful all the same. But after a small amount of worth of trial and error, he manages to send a response ]

How noble of you, but... [ he paused, pursing his lips as he eyed the screen once more. ] I think you might have better success if you walk around with your sign. Hugs should be spontaneous, don't you think?

[ and then he laughed again and sent the video. Hugville indeed. He rather liked the name. ]

...


...Maybe we should start an emergency hug brigade...

[ ...

...

You might have broken him momentarily with your genius idea. ]

[tercio]

Ahhhh~ What a great idea!

Can you imagine all those unpleasant people who are not charming at all and have lots of trouble finding people who want to touch them?? They could be fading away alone in their rooms when we bust right in and give them a hug!

[ Then he'd be a hero and people who have no choice but to reward him with more hugs. ]

[tercio]

[ He nods at this friendly stranger, contemplating what he said. He agrees with the sentiment that it is a noble cause, however, all in a day's work. ]

I can set up a stand somewhere. I just was taking advantage of free advertising for my business!

[ He's going to need a sandwich board... ]

[agelostdoll]

[...she just had to open her mouth, didn't she.]

Uh... right.

[/falls under the unpleasant uncharming category yep]

[tercio]

[ Well, you don't seem unpleasant or uncharming to Spain. In fact, now you're married to this emergency hug brigade idea so joke's on you. ]

Should we start immediately?

[ A short beat. ]

We can handle introductions and plans at the same time to save time. Nice to meet you!

[agelostdoll]

[she raises a hand immediately]

I veto my involvement in this.

[because. um.] Busy. [reasons.]

[tercio]

[ Ugh.

Bitter tears.

Spain happens to be the laziest person in the entire world so even though his original plan was to do all this by himself anyway, for a brief moment he thought he was doing it tandem ONLY TO HAVE IT RIPPED AWAY. ]

V-Veto it?

This was your idea...

[agelostdoll]

...Not the hugging type. Better volunteers out there anyway. [Mari]

[missleadingquestions]

...Oh, that's so cute!

[Maya's pretty eager for company, at least over the network, and this guy seems nice enough.]

But you know, it's courteous to give your name first.

[lovespasta]

That sounds like a great idea Big Brother Spain! How about running around and hugging people instead? [ It certainly sounds like a good idea... unless they run into someone who doesn't like hugs... ]

[tercio]

[ Well that changes everything! He perks up. ]

Well, maybe you could become the hugging type. Or perhaps you are someone who could benefit from an Emergency Hug Brigade.

[tercio]

[ He smiles at the new guest to his video feed he has. She seems pleasant and charming too! ]

Oh sorry! I guess I was distracted with my sign. My name is Spain. Nice to meet you!

Doth his eyes deceive him? ]

He is so happy to see you, Italy! If it's not completely obvious by the way he presents himself as a total spaz right now. ]

Italita! I didn't know you were here too!!

[lovespasta]

I am! I encountered only a few of us. [ He caught sight of America as well as Germany. ]

It's nice to see you wanting to help others!

[missleadingquestions]

Nice to m-- wait.

Spain? Like, you're named after the country?

[tercio]

[ He's beginning to sense a pattern with this...

But no big deal. ]

No, as the country! [ lol ]

Antonio works too though? [ He SUPPOSES. ]

[tercio]

[ THE REST OF THEM DON'T MATTER WHEN YOU'RE HERE. ]

The rest of them don't matter when you're here!

Thanks, it could be kind of a funny business too.

[missleadingquestions]

W-w-wait, as the country?

[He can't mean that, right?]

[lovespasta]

They should matter! Some are our friends!

I would help you with this Spain! It's a great idea for those that are struggling with physical contact to survive.

[tercio]

[ He nods. ]

That's right! Ask me anything about me and I'll be able to tell you!

[tercio]

Well, some of them are England and Germany and Switzerland. And America. [ Just saying. ]

We could go into business together. [ HIS DREAM. ]

Wow, seriously?! Then--!
