Lawn in front of the dorms, Thursday after first period

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Eight inches? Jude didn't know imperial very well, but that just sounded insane.

So there was only one thing to do, one logical course of action to follow. The resurrection of a proud Fandom High tradition (hey, he'd done it once before, hadn't he?).

So now, Jude was standing in front of the dorms in his Awesome suit, jacket and skateboard nearby, holding aloft a sign that said simply, 'FREE HUGS'. A stack of similar signs was at his feet.

[[I have to go have blood tests done soon, but post is open for hugs and for people to grab a sign and join in.]]

Hug Jude

This ain't no eight inches.

Someone else out to break Umbridge's rules? This was definitely hug time. Edward walked up and opened his arms, grinning. "For the willful upheaval of the establishment?"

Chad's head tilted at the sign. "As if I'd ever expect you to charge for them instead," he commented.

News of the latest edict had reached Aziraphale, and he was bemused. He also wondered how Wilson was going to take it, when he returned from New Jersey.

So when he spotted the "Free Hugs" sign outside the dorm, he chuckled and headed over.

"I would be ashamed of myself to ever turn down a hug," he said to Jude, with a smile.

Annette stepped over to Jude. "Excellent protest."

Cute skater-looking boy offering free hugs? Hello.

"Hey," Ronan said, smiling widely, his lilt thickening unconsciously. "Free hugs, eh?"

Rikku looked like some bizarre wounded duck - or, more accurately, like someone whose legs were on backwards - as she lurched along the path which seemed way, way longer today than it usually did. Stupid path. Stupid legs. Stupid everything.

"I hate that woman," she seethed, reaching out for Jude's arm and flailing towards him ungracefully.

Tori had handwavily been out for a walk, when she Jude and the familiar sign.

Grinning, Tori made her way over to him. "Have I mentioned how much you rock?"

Thanks to Umbridge's cheering charm (http://umbitch.livejournal.com/2454.html?thread=369046#t369046), Abigail was in a much happier and perkier mood than normal, and hugging could only help that. "This is a great idea," she said.

Re: Hug Jude

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy was holding a tape measure in his hand, pulled out to the 8 inch mark. When he saw Jude though, he burst out laughing. "Oh that totally trumps my idea. C'mere you clever Canadian."

Re: Hug Jude

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Robin loved this idea. "Jude, you're awesome."

Re: Hug Jude

Naminé took a slightly early lunch break from Fina so that she could walk back to the dorms, hoping that some fresh air would cool off her frustrations.

She stopped in front of the blonde boy, read his sign, and laughed.

"Oh, but that's wonderful. May I?"

Hug Johnny

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny was still in his Awesome suit as well and he grabbed a sign, proud to support his school.

And hey, free hugs, can't beat that.

Re: Hug Johnny

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

"Good day, Mr Storm," Aziraphale said brightly, after his assumed hug from Jude. "I have to say that this is one of the more appealing types of protests I've come across."

Re: Hug Johnny

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette looked at Johnny for a minute, her brow arched. "You're not going to try and kiss me are you, if I give you a hug?"

Hug Edward

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Edward grabbed a sign, as well, and tried to put on his most pleasent smile. Why not?

Re: Hug Edward

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Hi," Annette said, smiling. "Hug?"

Hug Chad

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Technically speaking, Chad wasn't really holding up the sign. He'd just picked it up to get a closer look at it and it just appeared that he was holding the sign. He was thinking that he should really probably get a Hug at your own Risk sign, because he cared about people's ribs.

Re: Hug Chad

[not_in_the_book]

"Hey, Chad!" Ronan said, smiling. "How're things?"

He couldn't help but think back to his flirting with Teddy the day before, at the festival; when in doubt, flirt with the guy's boyfriend to balance it out!

Hug Dick (Not dirty)

[surferboy-09er.livejournal.com]

He was in his awesome suit anyways, so why not? He was a good hugger.

Re: Hug Dick (Not dirty)

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Yo," Annette said, looking her boyfriend up and down. "You look too good not to want to hug."

Hug Anders (First and Third Periods)

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Hey, needling the principal some more was a great way to pass the time between his workshops today -- and work off a little of his rage in a constructive way -- so there was Anders during first and third period, ready to offer hugs of any kind from the casual arm-around-the-shoulders variety to 'oh gods breathing would be nice' bearhugs.

The fact that he had to take a period off in between to go shoot things amused him.

[OOC: Pinging in for great establishy justice while I go run errands, and will pick up when I get back, until I have to leave for work. And then again when I get home!]

Re: Hug Anders (First and Third Periods)

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

Charlie grinned as she held her arms out to Anders. "At this rate no one in school will have not broken a rule."

Hug Jenny!

[ashockingbitch]

Jenny was not, as a rule, a physically affectionate person. But when she could swiftly poke authority (not THE Authority, of course) in the eye by being so? Bring on the hugs! So she picked up a sign and joined the fun.

Re: Hug Jenny!

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude grinned at her. "Welcome to the party, bra."

Hug Tori

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori was totally up for this rebellion, having grabbed a sign of her own. She was all about the hugs today.

Re: Hug Tori

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"C'mere you. Ninjas can hug so stealthily, no one will know."

Hug Jim

[sensitivejim.livejournal.com]

Tackleglomped by a scrawny blond kid on his way out the door, Jim had a strange sense of deja vu. He actually looked around for the familiar curly head.

In honour of his Guide, what else could this Sentinel do but join in? And it wasn't like his dad would let him be kicked out of school for hugging people, so Lana couldn't get upset over it. Right?

. . . right?

Re: Hug Jim

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Of course she couldn't. In fact, when she saw him there she went right over and gave him a hug.

Hug Savannah

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Like she wasn't going to get involved in this?

Re: Hug Savannah

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Don't mind if I do."

Hug Robin

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

While Robin had been determined not to give too many excuses to the Headmistress, this he simply could not resist.

Re: Hug Robin

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy chuckled, and retrieved a high stool for Robin to stand on. "Easier on people's backs this way." he said, before hugging the green kid.

Hug Eve

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

Because where there was rebellion, there was Eve.

Re: Hug Eve

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Robin looked from Eve, to Savannah. "Huh, at first I thought you were doing the old change outfit and pretend to be someone else to get more candy thing. Only with hugs."
