[today in camp, one (1) princess is seated at a long table in front of the mess hall. pinned to the table is a sign reading:

BOTHERED BY BUTTERFLIES? BESIEGED BY BOGGARTS? COME AND RECEIVE FREE BEAR HUGS!

approach the table to receive a cuddle from this adorable young lady and be given a soft fuzzy teddy bear for you to hug when you're feeling low.

So this is what camp has you doing...

[pinkaboveboard]

[joyfully] Joe-san! [CUDDLES]

[blue_on_deck]

[Pats her head awkwardly]

Ahim.

[pinkaboveboard]

[beaming! how pleased she is to see you]

Would Joe-san like a teddy?

[blue_on_deck]

I don't need one. Where is everyone else?

[pinkaboveboard]

I am not sure.

[hesitating] Have you spoken to Marvelous-san in the last few days?

[blue_on_deck]

I haven't. Did something happen?

[pinkaboveboard]

I am not entirely sure what happened, but he was forced to watch a constant replay of his old crew and ... and Basco-san. He would not let me drag him away.

Please, talk to him. He would not speak to me about it but I fear his heart is broken.

[blue_on_deck]

[I take care of one problem and then suddenly...]

I'll find him.

[pinkaboveboard]

[relaxes a little]

Joe-san knows him better than anyone else. He will listen to you.

[blue_on_deck]

We can hope he will. Marvelous only does what he wants when he wants.

[pinkaboveboard]

[sighing] I hit Marvelous-san. I did not intend to hurt him, just to knock some sense into him, but ... perhaps it was not a wise move.

[blue_on_deck]

I'm sure he understood the reasoning behind it. He shouldn't be handled too gently.

[pinkaboveboard]

[corners of mouth twitching juuuust a little]

Do you really think so?

[blue_on_deck]

Traumatized or not, Marvelous is still Marvelous.

[pinkaboveboard]

Joe-san is always right about such things.

[here, have another hug] Thank you.
