[network] @Spoiler; Mission Hug Attack; Night 178 [open]

[spoileralert]

[ Video ]

You asked, Norfinbury, and I delivered. It didn't make the final cut, but right before Zach started filming I told House, and I quote, "I'm going to hug you now".

[ Following is a clip of House, inside the museum, backed against a wall and holding a hammer. In front of the camera is Steph, already mid-leap when the video starts. Those who haven't seen her on video before may notice the padded suit and cape she wears under a poncho and scarf. The hood and mask are down, of course, since they're relatively warmer indoors.

House stops her by grabbing her shoulders. ]

Really?

I did warn you!

[ Steph digs ungloved fingers into the fleshy parts of his wrists, making House grimace and finally let her go. He lets his arms drop and stares forlornly up at the ceiling as Steph cackles maniacally and grabs him up in a hug.

They stand there like that for a solid thirty seconds, House looking like a thoroughly depressed log, Steph a very purple mushroom having grown on him. Then she gives him a squeeze and lets go. ]

Mission accomplished.

[ The video ends. ]

[ooc | Steph is purple, House is blue! ]

Man! I don't think I've ever seen that look on his face!

[rubikscomplex]

probably because we've known each other less than six months and met once in-person, idiot

[spoileralert]

I know, right? Totally worth it.

@determination, video

[despiteeverything]

[There's a tired but still quite enthusiastic cheer from the kid.]

Go Steph!

still dying of consumption?

[He's feeling petty, Frisk. Let's get everyone worried about you.]

[spoileralert]

Thank you, thank you.

[ She takes a bow. ]

Congratulations.

[spoileralert]

Thanks! It was a long time in the coming, but I finally got it done.

[mrcreamsicles]

he looks like a really sad clump of dryer lint
is this your way of announcing youve found the town laundromat
gotta say your method of clearing that lint trap looks pretty unpleasant

178!

[spoileralert]

He is the saddest clump of dryer lint. Too long living in trash cans, I guess, far from his natural habitat.

Alas, no laundromat yet.

[spoileralert]

I'm so glad to see he's made a new friend.

[Not to particularly be a bubble-burster, but...]

And you choose to hug House...why?
I'm sorry, but that just doesn't strike me as much of a satisfying victory.
Or a particularly good way to spend your time to begin with.

[She really feels like she's missing something here.]

[spoileralert]

for the lols

[ Seriously what more reason do you need? ]

[canyouhandlethismany]

Keep doing that, he seems to like it.

[spoileralert]

[ She laughs. ]

I got the same impression. I think he's caught wise now, though.

[heroproceeding]

[ He had been planning on, you know. Attempting words. Really, he had. That's what he was going for.

But nope. As soon as he tries to say something, he just bursts out laughing again. ]

The look-! On his face-!

[ Steph turns on the video just to take a bow. ]

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week.
