Who: Everyone
When: Day 43, Nighttime
Where: The clearing, now no longer a beach

[ The beach fades away, leaving everyone back in the comfortable and familiar surroundings of the clearing and their-- beloved?-- train. There are some new stars in the sky, twinkling in ginger goldenrod, thyme apple, senna terracotta, jasmine blue, and clover pink.

The sound of a giggle fills the air and leaves behind bubbles-- touching one will give the uncontrollable urge to hug the nearest person. They will persist throughout the night. ]

[the bubbles do not want to listen to her and so she is trying to avoid touching them BUT yeah sorry they're fucking bubbles they're everywhere and she inevitably does.

but she...does not feel any different? huh.]

[daydreamshimmer]

Hey, 80H. Did you want to talk about dollcraft now or tomorrow?

[Approaching person.]

[voreaciously]

[gives her a thoroughly warm hug, not too tight, but it's not light either. it's just...nice.

after the magic passes she will immediately let go.]

M-my apologies, I do not know what came over me!

[daydreamshimmer]

[SUDDEN HUG?]

[It startles her for a moment, but she will. Hug back??? Awkward more from 'what' then lack of hug ability though.]

....are you okay? Usually I suddenly hug people from a rush of emotions?

[voreaciously]

[SHE'S FINE FAM

TOTALLY FINE.]

No--I mean, yes I am fine, truly, but something came over me.

[daydreamshimmer]

[You know who doesn't know about things like random hug bubbles being a thing?]

[This girl.]

Are you sure...?

Like....I can listen if you're having a problem? Unbiased ear?

[She has weird mind reading empathy powers, this is a thing she should do maybe???]

[voreaciously]

Yes, I am certain. I am not one to hug others as I just did. There must be something at play here, likely the bubbles if I were to guess.

[daydreamshimmer]

The....bubbles?

[voreaciously]

The Mermaid has a very...interesting disposition, shall we say. It would not surprise me in the least if this was her doing as she left.

[daydreamshimmer]

....

[Okay, this could be legit because this would totally happen in Equestria, but she could also being messed with.]

[So gonna pop a bubble.]

[And now 80H is getting a hug. Definitely a lot better this time.]

Huh.

[voreaciously]

Ahh--

[she stiffens and then trembles a little in the embrace]

[daydreamshimmer]

[UM WHY]

[Pulling back, hands off her.] What's wrong?

[voreaciously]

Nothing is wrong.

[malignstar]

80H?

[voreaciously]

[have a VERY NICE, VERY WARM HUG that she does not seem capable of doing.]

[malignstar]

[ WHAT IS GOING ON? ]

80H?

[voreaciously]

[she lets him go as though burned.] My apologies!

[malignstar]

Wait, don't apologize. I just really wasn't expecting it, given how you were feeling earlier.

[voreaciously]

I did not mean to do that!

[malignstar]

It's okay. We'll just forget it happened.

[voreaciously]

Ah...?

[she's confused because that's absolutely what she would do but it sounds to good to be true to hear it come from someone else.]

Pardon?

[malignstar]

I mean, if it wasn't on purpose, it doesn't really matter, right? We can just pretend nothing happened. I'd rather you hug me because you want to.

[voreaciously]

[wait. but that almost sounds like.]

You would want to hug me?

[ [x] doubt]

[malignstar]

Why wouldn't I want to hug you?

[voreaciously]

[she's an asshole, sir.]

I am not a good person.
