Have a Childlike 21 Year Old.

[blondedork]

Who: Yogi and you!
Where: near the hospital and around in District Two)
When: Sometime between the 6th and 14th (he might actually come here and do this more than once during this time period.)
Summary: Yogi gets his allergy patch and tries to make friends!
Warnings: uh...excessive cheerfulness and friendliness?



Yogi was determined to make everyone's stay here as comfortable as possible. He knew the people were wrong for bringing them all here against their will, but hey, it looks like the people in charge were doing a pretty good job of taking care of everyone! The hospital even had his allergy patch! Or...at least something close enough like to it for it to work. Plus, Yogi didn't mind hugs! But he knew some people didn't like them. Every time he tried to hug his friend Gareki, he hit him., but he didn't let that stop him. He did remember to ask first, though he just didn't always listen to "no" when it came to hugs

After going to the hospital and getting his allergy patch (even though he didn't particularly like doctors), he decided to take a bit of a stroll. He'd made a colorful sign that said "FREE HUGS" and taped it to his chest. After some consideration, he hastily scribbled "you can just talk to me too!" underneath the declaration that he was willing to give free hugs. Maybe some of the more timid people around town would come to him and give him a hug? It wasn't much different that wearing a big cartoon cat costume at the shows Circus did and being friendly with the crowd. It was kind of his job description.

He waved and smiled at people, treating it exactly as though he were a greeter or entertainer, even though there was no festivities going on. Perhaps the town would consider putting on shows? If this place wanted to be conductive to friendliness it would be the way to go! He wished he had a bag of chocolate candy bars. Were there no ice cream stalls around here? Sweet shops? If only he could talk to the people in charge he had a lot of suggestions to make this place great!

He's suddenly distracted by a noise. He turns his attention to the noise and sees a person that looks fairly lost, at least in his opinion.

"Hi! I'm Yogi! Circus's Second Ship fighter! The Sparkling Prince that makes your heart throb" he says with a big, flashy grin and a dramatic, theatrical bow. The silly line is clearly some kind of act.

"...Would you like some help? You look lost..."

Comments

[luckyegging]

"Uuuuh..." Gold just kind of blinks at that introduction as the little purple monkey on his shoulder does the same, "Not really."

The teen seems to recover from his surprise quickly enough, confusion melting into a cocky smile that his simian friend happily mirrors, "That is, I'm just taking in the scenery. That's some title you've got going there. Hope you won't be too let down if you don't make my heart throb. I'm Gold and this is Aibo."

He eyes the sign on Yogi's chest and tries to hold back a snicker, "Really getting into the spirit, huh? Guess that's better than being a cold fish like some people here."

[greenteengenius]

Lyrl looks at Yogi with his normal blase non-expression.

"I was about to say the same to you."

The part about looking lost, of course. Not the offer for help.

"I was going to consider asking for a hug, but your intention to make my 'heart throb' is making me reconsider."

Which is worse, losing one's mind or hugging the cheerful?

[primaveral]

Actually, Kanonno's just fascinated by all the different stores in the district. It wouldn't be surprising to interpret her fascination as being lost though, since she's looking around back and forth like she can't decide where to go. So at the offer, she just shakes her head with a smile.

"I know my way. There's just so many stores here that I don't know which one to look at first."

[blondedork]

"...It's just a line I made up, no need to take it so seriously!"

The golden haired young man is a little flustered, but quickly recovers.

"I just want people to know they can hug me if they really want to! I'm not shy or anything!"

He really wishes he had his cat costume. The "Sparkling Prince" line was much less silly with the cat costume.

[blondedork]

Yogi gives the man a look.

"...That line is an act from a show I do a lot. It makes more sense when I'm in costume, I promise. Maybe I shouldn't have said it..."

Yogi's wondering if that line is more trouble than its worth when he's not in costume or in the middle of a show.

"Do you like shows?"

[blondedork]

"Why don't we just look through them all together?"

The solution seemed pretty simple to Yogi. After all, hadn't he been wondering where all the sweetshops were? Maybe there were some around, he just hadn't found them yet.

[primaveral]

"I don't mind, but are you sure? You seem busy."

Kanonno points to the sign he's wearing-- it seems hard to attract customers if you're walking around from place to place. Even more so if he's walking around with another person. Shopping's more fun with other people, but that didn't mean she wanted to get in the way of whatever else he was doing.

[greenteengenius]

"I've never seen any. Is heart-throbbing the intention of them, then? Excitement, I suppose you mean."

Lyrl looks like nothing could possibly excite him.

[blondedork]

"Yes! It's supposed to make you happy! Like, having fun, you know."

[Such a listless looking man really distresses Yogi.]

"...You sure you couldn't use a hug? Maybe two?"

[blondedork]

"No, no...it's quite alright!"

[He flashes here a grim.]

"Where do you want to go first?"

[smallspot]

The source of the noise this time is a very small child. So small that it won't be too surprising if Yogi looks over him completely at first. It will also not be too surprising if his first thoughts are to wonder what a child so young is doing out, about, and most importantly, alone.

The boy doesn't seem too worried about any of these things. He actually seems pretty happy all things considered, though that might be just because he finds Yogi energy and words funny even if he doesn't understand them all.

"Are you really a prince?" Diarmuid tries to be polite, but there is a giggle in his voice. "And what is a heart throb? Is it a good thing?"

[geniusforgotten]

Nikola had been very carefully avoiding him as he commenced his own exploration of the city, or at least the parts of the city they were allowed access. He'd heard the consequences were unpleasant when venturing outside of their boundaries, and he wasn't in the mood to punish himself further. Being in this place was torture enough.

Unfortunately, while his mind was drifting elsewhere, formulating theories and working equations, he strayed too close, getting caught in the boy's web.

His question is answered with something approximating a low growl. He is not lost. This place was beginning to put him in a bad mood.

(ooc: p.s. I'm completely okay with unexpected hugging, even though Nikola will find it incredibly uncomfortable and aggravating.)

[greenteengenius]

"I wouldn't know, having not experienced them." He wonders if he should encourage the boy but this place is short on entertainment. "Are you intending on putting on any shows?"

Lyrl assesses Yogi head to toe.

"Perhaps I will wait until you have calmed down."

[primaveral]

[Now assured she's not interrupting anything, Kanonno does one more quick glance around the area before pointing at the nearest store on the right.]

"How about that one?"

[blondedork]

"Oooh how precious!"

Yogi reaches out to embrace the small child.

"A real prince? Well, that depends on what you mean by real. I think you can be anything you want!"

He wraps his arms around the child, forgetting to ask if it's okay. Hopefully the poor little guy won't mind...

[smallspot]

Diarmuid giggles as he is hugged, not minding it at all. In fact, he returns the hug with a big one of his own...

...or as least as big a one as a child his size can give.

"Father always says that I can be anything I want to be as long as I try hard enough and never give up! I am going to be a knight when I grow up so I can't be a prince, but that is okay. Someone else can be a prince. I just want to help people and that is what knights do!"

[blondedork]

"Calmed down? But I am calm!"

[He wonders what makes this guy think he's not calm...]

[blondedork]

"Sounds good to me!" Yogi calls out at as he takes the little girl's hand.

"Let's so see what cool stuff we can find!"

[blondedork]

Yogi watches the silent man for a moment. He notices the growl, and his monster hunter training kicks in. He's a little wary, but he still has his overly-friendly disposition.

"Are you quite sure you aren't lost? I can help! I haven't been here any longer than you but I've been exploring a lot!"

He's also fairly decent with directions, although that didn't mean he couldn't get lost himself.

[blondedork]

"Your father was right, little one! You can be whatever you want, including a knight! I'll be the prince okay?"

Yogi's trying to turn this into a fun, exciting game.

"Well, what's our first quest as a Prince and Knight? I say we find some ice cream!"

[geniusforgotten]

At least he has some sense of self-preservation. Not nearly enough for Nikola's tastes.

"I'm not lost." And wandering the streets in search of new friends hardly qualifies as exploring, in his book. He looks the kid up and down, taking in the sign again. "You're enjoying this, aren't you?"

Can you hear how unimpressed he is?

[smallspot]

Diarmuid nods excitedly, " My father is always right! He is a god after all! He knows all kinds of things! But, what is ice cream, Prince?" He gives the man an confused look, "I haven't heard that word before. Maybe it's not something they have where I am from? I am finding a lot of things here that we don't have back home."

Like really, almost everything...

[greenteengenius]

"I think we have different concepts of calm."

Lyrl has only two settings: completely detached and completely off the handle.

"I will accept a quick hug for the benefit of our health."

Since this guy is probably harmless, at least.

[blondedork]

Yogi gives the man a quick but tight hug. He doesn't linger long enough for it become awkward, but it does feel like a genuine hug.

"There you go! One free hug! Come back anytime you like!"

Yogi's up for spending some time time with this guy, but he doesn't want to push his luck.

[blondedork]

"I am enjoying this very much! I bet you aren't though. That's kind of sad."

Yogi's already trying to figure out something that might make this guy feel more at home.

"...You strike me as the type that likes to read or do research. I bet you'd be at home in a library or medical labratory!"

He's not really going anywhere with this, he's just trying to engage this guy.

[OOC: I honestly know nothing about this character or canon. I just went with the vibes this character was giving off. If I was right about him liking libraries/research I was honestly just guessing and wasn't trying to infomod. If I was spot on and it makes you uncomfortable I can edit, just shoot me a PM!]

[blondedork]

The chance to give this child his first ice cream makes Yogi ridiculously happy.


"You have to have an ice cream straight away! It's simply delicious! You'll love it! It's really sweet...it's usually eaten as a dessert, but it can be eaten as a meal, although it's very, very unhealthy and shouldn't really be eaten that way!"

He grabs the little boy's hand for a moment before getting an idea.

"You're really little. I bet I can fit you on my shoulders. Want a ride?"

[primaveral]

The shop they enter ends up being a toy store. Stuffed animals, little figurines... all sorts of neat stuff lined up on shelves and displays all over.

There aren't stores like this where she's from, so her earlier enthusiasm becomes more subdued as it gets replaced with awe and wonderment.

"Wow... I've never seen so many toys in one place before."

[smallspot]

"I don't know what a dessert is, but if you say it is good Prince, I would like to try some please!" Diarmuid claps his hands excitedly and looks around trying to figure out where they will be going. When Yogi asks his next question, the boy stops looking around and looks back at him. "A ride? Do you mean like picking me up?" His eyes seem to grow more excited somehow and he holds out his small arms, "Please! I like being carried!"

And no one has carried him since he got here so he really misses it!

[geniusforgotten]

He can't fault the boy's observational skills. His comments are surprisingly accurate. If given the choice, he would much rather be in his lab, preferably with a locked door and a sufficient stock of wine.

"Why?" Nikola can't understand how anyone could enjoy such a thing.
