I have an odd request for everyone, or at least those that will listen to me. I was wondering if anyone of you wanted a...hug.

[The last part is said quietly like he's scared to just say the word at the moment. It would normally be unusual considering he love to give affectionate hugs. The hallucinations had brought and old fear he had to the forefront of his mind even after they've dissipated]

If a hug is too much, I can give you a handshake or pat on the shoulder. Anything is fine now, I just think a gentle touch is just something that everyone could use at least once in while. Just give me a call if you need one...

[The before ends it, he whispers someone to himself, only those with good hearing will catch it.]

I just need to feel that everyone is alive.

No, that isn't the sort of request, right after everyone's consumed by their worst fears for a week, that won't make anyone worry.

...where are you?

[snugglesjugs]

[There is a short pause, he isn't feeling up to explaining right now so he simply answers back.]

...I'm at the guild.

Action

[samantha_grey]

I'm on my way.

[She nodded and cut the feed. The plus side of her reply was that she was on her way over to give him the hug that he wanted. Explanations could wait.

The wait wasn't terribly long before she was making her way into the guild, looking around as she did. She called out in her raspy voice.]

Aladdin? You in here?

Action

[snugglesjugs]

[The door slowly opens to reavel Aladdin, stares at her for a few minutes. She'll probably notice his normally bright eyes are dull and seemingly lifeless.]

Sam...You're really here.

[His voice has an almost flat tone to it as well. Like he's slowly processing what in front of him]

Re: Action

[samantha_grey]

... oh gods, you had a rough one if you're saying something like that.

[She sighed and walked towards him, moving to put him in a hug, even if she was on the uncomfortable side about the physical contact. A soft sigh came from her lips and she spoke up again, trying to avoid sounding as tired as she felt these days.]

Definitely not a figment of your imagination.

Master Aladdin?

[ Maglor remembers a smiling boy talking about charms and armor, not this subdued grief ]

What ails you?

[snugglesjugs]

...It's complicated, what consumed my mind last week, the effects still linger a little. All I need is some reassurance right now.

[His mind can handle many things, but that old fear never really disappeared. Having it come back full force did a number on his heart and mind.]

[bythewaves]

Ah... [ he hums thoughtfully ] I am only a stranger you have spoken to but the once, Aladdin, but did you want me to come and see you?

[snugglesjugs]

You aren't a stranger, if I've already talk to you. I'd like you to come by. [To be honest he'd probably hug a stranger right now too.]

I'm at my guild right now, it's near the theater.

Where are you right now, Aladdin-kun...?

[Voice]

[snugglesjugs]

...I'm at the guild.

[He's staying as voice, he doesn't want her to see what he looks like at the moment.]

[Video] > [Action]

[saving_sound]

I'll be there soon, okay?

[And she'll cut the feed right then. True to her word, it doesn't take very long at all for her to arrive at the guild, peering around to see where Aladdin might be...]

[Action]

[snugglesjugs]

[She'll see him sitting on the floor in the one of the meeting rooms. He hasn't taken notice that she's there yet. Aladdin just sits staring out, his eyes dull and flat with a noticeable frown on his face.

He doesn't look like he should be the one offering hugs.]

[mullets]

Damn right I could go for a hug. Kinda sounds like you're the one in need of one, though. You alright?

voice;

[snugglesjugs]

Thank you, mister. I'm as fine as I could be right now. [Being traumatized isn't a thing to worry about right.

He sends his location over to Ash without saying anything more.]

voice;

[afrozendance]

I... I think I can do this. If you don't mind a stranger's help, tell me where I can find you and I'll be there as soon as I can.

voice;

[snugglesjugs]

I don't mind at all. [As long as the person is alive he wont care who he gets hugs from.]

I'm in a building called Grimorie's Sigil, it's not far from the theater.

voice;

[afrozendance]

[He's not the only one in need of hugs. Really, he's not, and she'll give them to him gladly.]

I frequent the theater, so I think I know where I can find you... I'll reach for you in few minutes, I promise!

voice; -

[snugglesjugs]

I'll leave the door unlock just come inside.

[He isn't going to try going outside until he's sure of somethings]

[fire_punk]

Who are you? I don't remember seeing you before.

I... don't about... Why hugs?

video

[snugglesjugs]

My name is Aladdin, I've been around but I haven't had much time to address people like this..

[The first thing he decides to do is offer free hugs. ]

Hugs are nice and they can give a little comfort.

video

[fire_punk]

I'm Kevin.

Yeah, sometimes. If it's the right person. Sometimes they're... [He shudders.] Ada... Maglor's hugs are nice. [And now he's blushing because he's too old to actually admit that.]

video

[snugglesjugs]

It's nice to meet you kevin. [Thankfully Aladdin has finally calmed down and feeling much more like himself.]

Oh! Maglor gave me a hug too, it was nice. I find that a willing hug is the best sort of hugs, even if its with people you don't know too well.

private;

[bloodypocket]

That's rather generous of you. [Even if hugs aren't... necessarily his thing.]

... Charles wouldn't mind.

[comeonthensexy]

I'll have a hug! Where can I find you?
