School grounds, Friday (before the field trip)

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

They had talked about it. They had done a bit of possibly-less-than-platonic practising for it. But now, after massive downpours and genderswapping bad vibes and boosted by the happy presence of penguins, they were actually doing it.

Jude and Blair were standing in front of the dorms, holding aloft their large yet simple signs:

'FREE HUGS'

[[Based on this dude. Blair modded with permission and will make a subthread when she gets up. There are extra signs if you want to join in, just make a new thread to be hugged.]]

Hug Jude!

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

He's thin and lanky, but makes up for it with technique.

*pounce!*

"Pippi-bra," Jude grinned, hugging her tightly.

"Free hug?" She asked with a grin, then went to hug him.

Re: Hug Jude!

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Free hug," he agreed solemnly, using his mad skillz to hug without dropping his sign.

Tori was very amused by the signs and couldn't resist hugs. She laughed and gave Jude a hug. "Free hugs are awesome."

Re: Hug Jude!

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Totally," Jude drawled happily, hugging her back. "Hence, giving them away."

Rikku stopped a few feet away, camera out, to snap a picture of Jude with his sign. Yuna had to see this.

Re: Hug Jude!

Jude noticed and posed in his best lanky-Messiah-free-hug-giving way.

Deadpool stood in front of Jude, head tilted slightly, an action mirrored by all the wee penguins about his person, peering out at Jude.

"Do you normally charge for your hugs my little Canadian stoner friend?"

Sokka walked by and stopped.

"Okay, sure, whatever," he said, and held out his arms.

Hug Pippi!

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

She won't crush you, but she might lift you off the ground.

Re: Hug Pippi!

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Pippi!"

Re: Hug Pippi!

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Hey Pippi!" Tori grinned.

Re: Hug Pippi!

[the_merriest]

Rikku giggled and held her arms out. "Hey, Pippi!"

Re: Hug Pippi!

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Money girl!" Sokka shouted, and held his arms out for a hug.

Hug Blair

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

He's bouncy and maybe a little too excited to be holding a sign again. The boy needs a good protest.

Re: Hug Blair

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Blair." First time seeing him since she tried to be him. Well, since he was a girl anyway.

"Hug?"

Re: Hug Blair

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

*pounce*

Re: Hug Blair

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Seeing as how they were giving out free hugs and it had been a joint effort and there was totally no awkwardness at all, Jude snuck up from behind and glomped.

Re: Hug Blair

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori stifled a laugh at Blair's bouncyness. Grinning, she waved. "Hi."

Re: Hug Blair

[the_merriest]

Rikku's always bouncy. So she bounced up to Blair. "Hiya! Happy Friday! Hugs?"

Re: Hug Blair

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka was not surprised to see Blair in on this.

"Heeeyyy," he said, holding his arms out.

Hug Sokka!

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

The eyebrow-waggling (girls only) is totally non-skeevy. Well, more amusing than skeevy, anyway.

The back-thumping (guys only) won't hurt you. Much.

Re: Hug Sokka!

[the_merriest]

Rikku laughed. "You're joining, too?" And held her arms out.
