09 - Hugfest 2014

I can go home.

[ Combined with the massive grin on her face, it sounds like Steph has just announced that she was unexpectedly elected president of the world. ]

No, I mean, I can go home.

[ She seems to realize that she's not making any sense. She doesn't seem to care. ]

Okay, I know that sounds weird. I just, I need to hug someone.

Actually, I need to hug everyone. Consider yourselves warned - if you get in my way, you will be hugged.

[ She's not kidding. Everyone she meets except for Scorpius, Davy Jones, and James Bond is going to be hugged.

James Bond will be punched. Davy Jones will be grinned at. She will stick her tongue out at Scorpius. IF she meets them, of course. ]

Guess when I see you at the nook I should make sure I don't have any needles in hand.

[ichoosefight]

You better put them away now because I am on the prowl.

[sickjoke]

And I even unwittingly revealed my location! Some hero I am.

[lastincident]

Of course you can. And will.

[ichoosefight]

I don't think you understand, Bruce.

Not only are they not mad, they still want me around.

[ Not crying, nope, why would you think that? ]

[audio]

[lastincident]

I do understand. I know-- how amazing it can feel, too.

Congratulations?

[He has no idea what you are talking about Steph, but he is happy for you.]

What happened?

[Video]

[ichoosefight]

It's not what happened, it's what's going to happen. I can fix this, I can fix everything! I can go back, and I can see Robin, and Batgirl, and everyone!

[ Those are definitely not tears in her eyes, nope. ]

Got some insight from that flood?

[He's smiling brightly now too. It's good to see her like this, after some of the talks they've had.]

[Bond does not want to be hugged at all, so this probably works out best for everyone involved, really. He's heading back to his room after lunch and utterly ignorant of her post.]

[ichoosefight]

[ Oh, look who it is!

Well, if she's supposed to start problem-solving in order to graduate, she may as well have one last hurrah, right? She doesn't even look at him until she's close enough to take a swing at his jaw. ]

Hi Bond.

[ She's aiming to break the jaw, but she'll take what she can get. ]

[myresponsibility]

Did you graduate?

[ichoosefight]

No, not yet. [ LIKE ANYONE CARES ABOUT THAT, RIGHT? ] No, but I can.

[wedonot]

Congratulations.

[ichoosefight]

Thanks.

[ She would talk more but there are hugs to be had ]

[Possibly a bad idea.]

[ DON'T CARE, HUGS ARE HAPPENING. Arthas better brace himself, because a little blonde thing is throwing herself at him. ]

Spam!

[strangehistorian]

Oh!

[Better believe Chromie's going to hug back.]

Spam!

[ichoosefight]

[ Chromie gets a tight squeeze, and possibly briefly lifted up off of the ground.

Sorry, Steph is too thrilled to stop and explain herself. ]

[surfaceshine]

[Look who's beaming back, because goddamn, it's good to see something go right for her.

Even if he's going to absolutely be a smartass about it.]

I think on some planets that's considered a declaration of war, darlin'.

[ichoosefight]

[ Smartassery cannot bring her down today. ]

Too late, can't be tamed. I already hugged Arthas.

[mightthinkthat]

Good news.

[ichoosefight]

The best news.

[ HER FRIENDS DON'T HATE HER, and yes this is news. ]

[logistical]

Congratulations.

[ichoosefight]

Thanks. I don't think I've ever been so happy in my life.
