What do you mean I can't hug complete strangers?

[squeak_squeaker]

Mun, I'm sorta confused here! I don't understand why all of the new kind-of-best-friends-kind-of-strangers I've made... yesterday? Didn't want any of my special Kronk hugs. I give great hugs!

But they all kinda refuse and... miss out. On Kronk hugs. Hugs with Kronk.

And that's sad. [Bottom lip tremble.]

I've traveled around the world and I came upon the general idea that no one appreciates a freak. Are you a freak?

Beat it, freak, before I beat you into a beet. I don't like beets. They give me indigestion. You are the indigestion of my soul[soul soul soul]!

[squeak_squeaker]

...I dunno. What's a freak? [Kronk didn't know what the word 'freak' really meant! Did you HAVE to have a fake bird nose? Because Kronk's nose was all him.]

Do you want something else to eat, buddy? [Maybe a delicious slice of three-layered chocolate cake?]

[renegadephilosophy]

You poor, poor, ignorant soul. A freak is the anti-paragon of self-worthfullness. They're always zealous of being the overbearing and annoying beasts of society.

...Sure, I can go for some nachos.

[squeak_squeaker]

I dunno what...uh. What all those words mean. [Kronk beamed at him and just gave him a plate with a piece of cake on it. Close enough, right? Riiight.]

There you go, pal! You're looking kinda skinny so you should probably eat some cake.

[renegadephilosophy]

[Xavier gawks at the cake.]

What!? This is no nachos! This isn't even no nacho, singular! [Xavier sniffs the cake.] It doesn't even smell like nachos! What's the big idea trying to bamboozle[bamboozle bamboozle bamboozle] me?

[squeak_squeaker]

[Kronk, big as he was, flinched a little. Did he do a bad job with the cake? Ohno.]

Never heard of nachos before, but cake is good too! You should give it a try.

[renegadephilosophy]

[Xavier tosses the cake on the floor.]

No![no no no] Listen to me very closely: We're going to have a duo of nachos together. Wait there while I gather up a twin of glin, a do of cruo, a double of wubble.

[He runs off somewhere and returns about 3 minutes later with two baskets of nachos and a lobster. The lobster's on his head. He hands a basket of nachos over to Kronk.] Here, eat this.

[slendy_ohcrap]

[Be careful there, Kronk. Hug too many strangers, and the next thing you know, you'd be brutally tortured or murdered by some eldrich abomination with empathy.

Like Slenderman, for instance. Whose watching you right now!]

[squeak_squeaker]

[You couldn't murder Kronk, Slendy. Kronk was protected by the love of ALL the world's chipmunks! He also saw you.]

Huh. Is that you, Yzma? [Kronk remembered Yzma as being a fairly small lady, though. This was scaring him a little!]

[slendy_ohcrap]

[Slenderman slid closer, a bit of a hum in the air.]

[squeak_squeaker]

[Kronk was incredibly stupid, so he just started to smile his usual vacant smile.]

I've been looking for you all over, Yzma! Why are you wearing men's clothes?

[slendy_ohcrap]

[Slenderman just continues approaching, the eerie hum rising in volume.]

[squeak_squeaker]

You're projecting a weird noise, Yzma. Do you want a relaxing footie massage? [KRONK WAS COMING FOR YOUR FEET, SLENDERMAN.]

You'll feel all better and then I'll make us some chocolate fondue for dessert!

[holygunslinger]

Aww buddy, it's okay!

_{[Arms wide]}

[squeak_squeaker]

[Oh oh, Kronk was getting hugs! Enveloping the guy in the last hug he'll EVER need.]

I'm just...uhh. I like hugs! And... and other people don't like hugs as much. [He was probably choking now. Death by pecs?]

^^^ OMG SLENDY LOLOL

[holygunslinger]

_{[GHRK! D: A little out of breath, wishing he had his D: icon, for the want of extra userpics...]}

Hey, it's all right. Everyone needs more hugs, the kids I look after keep saying so.

_{[He pries away after the point where it's gotten uncomfortable, and pats Kronk on the shoulder, grinning.]} You're definitely part of 'everyone'.

LOL, I know! Kronk is a dead Kronk. XD

[squeak_squeaker]

[Kronk was just showing the, very manly, love! It was nothing to be scared of.]

Hah... I am? Part of everyone. [That made Kronk happy! Because of working for Yzma, he never really felt fully accepted by everyone back home.]

Naaah, just slip Slendy a couple tenners~

[holygunslinger]

_{[smooths out his suit]} Sure are. it's a pretty all-inclusive group.

Kronk has like one Kuzco... penny or something. :(

[squeak_squeaker]

Is YZMA part of everyone too? And uh... are you part of everything? [Poor Kronk was too dumb to grasp the meaning of 'everyone'.]

[squeak_squeaker]

But...uh. But I'd never hurt anyone! [Not on purpose, at least. But you where probably right.]

Why wouldn't you be comfortable when you're getting a hug? That's kinda strange. [The concept was foreign to Kronk. Then, he laughed nervously.] You... you know my last name?

But I never tell anyone my last name!

[squeak_squeaker]

I'll be more careful! I promise. [For now. Kronk's memory wasn't... very good. Or even passably good.]

Oh, right! I like being by myself sometimes! As long as there's some little animal buddies around.

Really? Hah... do you know more things about me? Like why my chin is so large?

[squeak_squeaker]

My mun says that she knew that! Maybe I'm...uh. A time traveling Kronk.

Without knowing it. [Gasp!]
