We have noticed that many people in the Tree are down or discouraged, and that will not do!

Thus, we would like to propose a solution in the form

...You guys couldn't just hand out money instead?

[spandexisyouth]

That would not cheer up the same way.

[man_genius]

Right, much less chance of inappropriate contact.

[spandexisyouth]

Hugs are not inappropriate! They are hugs.

[man_genius]

Dude the only appropriate thing that should come from a booth is change for a toll. Anything else adds a level of skeeve.

[spandexisyouth]

There is no level of skeeve to simple hugs. And other things come from booths! Water, or popcorn, or prizes!

[man_genius]

You give simple hugs but there's no telling what other people do. See right there, popcorn and prizes. Often associated with circuses, which are usually run by circuit midgets, who are by nature skeevy!

[spandexisyouth]

I give simple hugs and so does Kagerou, and we are the two giving hugs, so it is safe to come by. And I do not know what a circus midget is.

how about a circuit midget?

[man_genius]

They're midgets that work in the circus, also called Carnies, although I think Carnies define all circus and carnival workers, not just the little people. The wee folk. Vertically Challenged.

[yeah we're ignoring the hug offer]

Nope. Not that either.

[spandexisyouth]

Children work in circuses and carnivals and you call them Carnies and Circus Midgets.

[man_genius]

Huh? Exploited children work in circuses I guess. Why bring that up? I thought you were trying to be all happy and optimistic and stuff.

[spandexisyouth]

I was trying to see if that was what you were talking about. But you are right! This is supposed to be about optimism! Come for a hug, Genius! Or two!

[man_genius]

Oh no. I'm good thanks.

[spandexisyouth]

I can make a hug delivery.

[man_genius]

You sound busy, running a booth and everything. I'm good. Got plenty of hugs stored up.

Like a fat chipmunk for the winter. Storing up...hugs.

[spandexisyouth]

You cannot store up hugs! That is not possible!

I will find you.
