dear_mun | i'm in too deep in this bandwagon pile. help me

[Somewhere in the distance for reasons Hiro doesn't quite get his mun is busy laughing. Nevertheless he just gives Baymax a grin because actually? Nah, the name totally fits]

I dunno, buddy. Sounds pretty accurate to me. [Hes just glad to see Baymax in this space okay thank you] I think Tadashi would be proud. [Or be indignant. Who knows. It's just funny imagining what Tadashi's reaction would be.]

[for reasons that completely confuse Baymax, his mun is crying softly and giggling helplessly at the same time. this is worrying]

Tadashi would be proud to see me referred to as "Hugs-A-Lot-Bot?" [he blinks slowly] It seems to be causing my "mundane" a mix of distress and happiness. [laughing is good, but crying is bad. mundanes are so weird. but Hiro is definitely happy. HM] Should I introduce myself as "Hugs-A-Lot-Bot" from now on?

[Hiro. Hiro no, don't be a little shit and say yes. It's tempting but ultimately he shakes his head.]

I think you're okay. […although.] You could always introduce yourself as Bay-Hugs. That works, too. [Hiro no.] It's just a nickname, Baymax. Pretty much everybody else on the team has one. […except for him.

…wait a minute. Wow he's not sure how he feels about that. On the one hand, you can't really make a nickname out of Hiro. On the other hand, this is the same kid who made himself a suit that only functions as a means to stick to Baymax just because he wanted a suit, too.]

Nicknames are an excellent way to strengthen bonds with friends and promote new friendships. I will introduce myself as "Bay-Hugs" in the future. [thumbs up. look what you've done, Hiro. this will be a disaster. a cuddly disaster]

[speaking of promoting friendship--] Your neurotransmitter levels are slightly abnormal. If I have upset you, Hiro, I apologize. That is never my intention.

[are you feeling left out, Hiro? do you wanna talk about it? do you need a hug?]

[#yolo. He absolutely has no regrets on this matter and instead he looks a little too amused at this turn of events.] Sounds like an awesome plan. You'll make new friends in no time.

[Awww Baymax come on. Stop continually scanning him when he's not even paying attention.] Huh? No, you didn't do anything. [He tilts his head a little. Lookit that, he's not even consciously aware that those thoughts are a little perturbing to him.] I'm fine. See? [Will a giant grin help?]

[an amused Hiro is a happy Hiro. Baymax has sadly not learned this is a warning sign for shenanigans to come. so he's satisfied] That would be "sick."

[but he wants for care for his little partner! teens' moods fluctuate so often. he needs to be sneaky with you sometimes. you cannot escape the robot love. or rather, care. whatever. same difference.

he pauses, considering. the giant ~~totally believable~~ grin is a good sign yes, but those levels are not changing, mister. ...wait. OH, THAT'S IT!] If you are sure you are "fine." It is possible your abnormal levels are a result of your pubescent mood swings. Are you experiencing a mood swing?

[Hiro's come to find he's a lot happier in this little corner of the universe than he should be because at least he has Baymax. It's not that he's a really sociable person in the first place. He'd be just as content being a shut-in and working on his projects. It's better that way. But…you know…since Baymax is already here and all.

Someday Baymax will learn that his little buddy is a ball of trouble half the time but for now Hiro's a little thrown off-guard by that question.]

No, Baymax. It's not a mood swing. [Urge. To drag hand down face. Rising. Sometimes he has to blame Tadashi a little for making Baymax as accurate as he is. And sometimes he's just a little huffy he can't always lie to his partner.]

Does this place seem kinda weird to you? [Because hey, just because he's happier here doesn't mean it's still not bizarre. San Fransokyo is huge no doubt but the people here are still way different.]

[Baymax would like to say that it's not better that way, and socializing with those you love is important and healthy. but since these are brackets.........you're getting off easy, buster.

at the question, Baymax lifts his head to look up. then he looks to the left. he slowly squeak-waddles his way in a circle, taking in the immediate area again. just to make sure he didn't miss something. once he's facing Hiro again, he stops]

Yes. We are no longer in San Fransokyo. [a pause] There are also some people who share exactly the same medical information and appearance, which would not be possible in twins. That is "kinda weird."

[Ahaha Hiro has successfully found ways to hide things from Baymax, it seems. 10 points for the boy genius.

...whacha doin' buddy? Hiro's just watching him turn in a circle, not entirely sure what it is Baymax is looking for. At the (pretty obvious) announcement though he gets it.

Right. Literal robot.]

Clones. Cloning's not new science but this is a little too much. [He gives a slightly mischievous grin.] There's even a few of you out here.

[...wait.]

Wait did you really scan everybody already?

Oh my God, another one of you fluffy, marshmallow-textured robots? [[Clearly Tommy has met some of your kind, before, Hugs-a-Lot-Bot-- and by that I mean BAYMAX, of course! lol![[ Please do leave me alone! I mean, I do not believe that hugs will bring my sister or even my mum back to life, so-- yes, please, do NOT hug me...

[[Awww, don't listen to this old grumpy-pot, Baymax! xD <3 I mean, srsly, he LOVES your hugs-- eventually, that is! xD <333]]

I have defibrillators installed in my palms. However, Hugs cannot revive the dead. [what, you weren't being literal? nonsense]

Hugs can help in one's recovery from personal loss. Other treatments include support from friends and family, as well as reassurance. I will now scan you. [a few short seconds' pause] Scan complete. Your neurotransmitter levels indicate you are frustrated. Feeling angry is a normal response to grief. It is okay to feel this way.

[a pause] Are you sure you would not like a hug?

[[LOL! Oh Baymax....! xD <3]]

Honestly, Mamselle Mundane, i DO wish you would stop it.... [[Aww, stop WHAT!?]] You know perfectly well, what! I mean, that bloody giggling is most undignified! [[Aww, and when have I ever "Giggled" undignified like? I mean, honestly: I would qualify my laughter as "evil Cackling," more like! xD <3]] Y-yes, you do that, whatever you like....

[And poor Tommy boy sighs weakly, at both his Mundane and the bloody marshmallow-textured robot!] You seem to have an-- unusual interest in m-my neurotransmitters, you know... But yes, yes! I'm Fine, really!

[[Aww! don't you believe the little liar, Baymax...! xD <33]

Your blood pressure is rising, and your neurotransmitter levels indicate you are increasingly stressed. That does not indicate that you are "fine." It is okay to not be "fine."

[and here he reaches out to pat you on your head. hey, you said no hugs, but this is fine, right?] There. . . . There. You will be okay.

Uh....'Hugs-A-Lot-Bot'?

[Really? Hiro may just be trying not to laugh here. And refraining from encouraging this like the brat he is.]

Hello, Hiro. Yes, that name seems to make people happy. Perhaps it is the use of the word "hugs."

[because even the word "hugs" is magical and therefore helps people to recover from . . . whatever??? he doesn't get it]

Hey, buddy. Well, making people happy and feel better is what you're all about, right? And hugs is...one way to do that.

[He's not sure if Tadashi would laugh at this or be mortified at the idea of calling Baymax this though. The question is just how much to encourage this or dissuade him from the name. Baymax himself doesn't seem to mind it at least, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea?]

[Baymax is a terrible indicator for whether a name is a good idea. he is healthcare, not babynames.com. he'd probably take any name that aligns with care and had positive reactions, no matter how terrible. use your naming powers for good, Hiro ~~or don't~~]

That is correct. It would also serve as a warning to those who are uncomfortable with physical contact. [he's been running into some of that lately. and not just teen weirdness, Mr. Tsun]

[Hiro is a brat but he's not sure he's that much of a brat to mess with Baymax that much. Not when he was Tadashi's creation. Okay, so he probably messed with a lot of Tadashi's things in the past, but still. Baymax is somehow an exception, even if he made a couple of upgrades.]

Not sure hugs really need to come with a warning in comparison to other things. But sure. If you think that's a good idea, I guess.

[But puberty and grief, Baymax. He's allowed to be prickly at times as a result, gosh.

But he loves you really.]

Don't worry, big guy. Your name is still Baymax. But I'm pretty sure that username was already taken.

Tadashi. [not even warnin' you bro SCANNING . . .] You are in good health. [well this is confusing. oh oh he has something to tell you!! if Baymax can sound at all excited, even slightly, he does now] Hiro said in the future, I should introduce myself as "Bay-Hugs." It is a "nickname." It will promote new friendships while strengthening existing ones.

[Tadashi would except nothing less. He smiles, watching and listening to his robot. Yep, he's alive and well here in this meta-place. And he can't help but laugh at the nickname Hiro has given him.]

Yeah, that sounds like my little brother. Trying to change your name already.

I think it's a good nickname. It's an introduction, and an offer for free hugs. I like it.

[he gives him a thumbs up!] I will relay your opinion to Hiro, and I will use the "nickname" in the future.

[he's gonna make so many people laugh because of you two. and with laughter being a great form of medicine . . . you're both bettering the world already]

What about Baymax, the Hugs-A-Lot-Bot?

[a considering pause] Adding a title to the end would only add to my overall design.

[he raises his hand in that small, circular wave] Hello. I am Baymax, the Hugs-A-Lot-Bot, your personal healthcare companion. . . . Is that sufficient?

[Laughs.] Oh, totally. Very accurate too. [They are very addictive hugs.]
