Please pretend that is great art of a cuddle. I am too excitement'd out to look up an illustrative image right now, but hang onto your hats because this is a

CUDDLE MEME!!

Steps:
1. Post as your character! Everybody is welcome, even if not in the game or newbies waiting for podpop! We don't bite, we hug.
2. Others reply
3. Participants are struck by the urge to cuddle. No romantic feelings are created or altered, just unexplained snuggly feelings are involved. You can SCREAM at this urge, shake and cry, get hearts in your eyes, feel elated and joyful, rant along the whole way, whatever. It DOES NOT STOP THIS URGE TO CUDDLE.
4. Cuddle! No violent cuddle chokes or cuddle stabs plz. Those can come later ;)

...hey. I wanted to thank you for the other night.

[He can do that from over there, right? Why is he coming over here? What.]

[governorkang]

You're welcome. You really need to work on staying calm.

[...that's what Kang's wondering too. And, why he doesn't seem to mind that Billy's getting so close to him.]

[morphitudinous]

It's more difficult than it sounds. I can't even identify where the pressure comes from, but it exists. I just wish I could ignore social considerations and do it.

[He admires you for that strength, Kang...perhaps a little too much right now. Friendly space has been reached and breached.]

[governorkang]

Gets easier with time.

[Huh. He's wrapping an arm around Billy's shoulders. What the hell is going on?]

[morphitudinous]

Given time...I don't think I'll be as solidly secure as you, but there might be hope for progress yet. There was really no reason to fear.

[This is normally a 'hello, who are you and what have you done with Kang' action. But Billy, by some power, finds this comforting enough to come even closer and find a place to fit his arm around Kang.]

...were you ever worried about that sort of problem?

[governorkang]

[He quirks an eyebrow ridge, at the question, and the physical affection.]

What sort of problem?

[morphitudinous]

Being with your mate.

[This is odd affectionate conversation, but he's going to try to roll with it. He feels too...safe and cuddly, even with Kang, to leave now. And hey, he's not being pushed off. That's the shock of the century right there.]

[governorkang]

[Kang has no idea why he hasn't pushed Billy away. It is oddly comfortable.]

...what? You mean being worried about being seen together, or something else?

[morphitudinous]

[It is the human warmth, it will not be resisted. And...on Billy's part, it must be the slick scales or something, because this is more appealing than he'd thought.]

I don't think anyone would ever give you a hard time about that, Kang. It doesn't take effort for you to intimidate them into silence. What about doing things with her?

[governorkang]

[Ah, yes, that thing mammals do, producing heat.]

You'd be surprised. And remember, females were a completely new thing for us, so there was a lot of... uncertainty.

What kind of things?
