#### Affection/Expression as a skill

Some discussion came up in this thread ( alpha.glitch.com/forum/gene... ), and Bob Apple happened to have a brilliant idea - why not have skills related to the Emotional Bear and its use, allowing you to do new things to improve your mood and others'?
My idea would be to remove the Lips and Moon items from the game, and instead make them a function of a new skill, maybe "Affection" or "Expression" or maybe "Socialization". You can use an Emotional Bear without the skills to deliver hugs, but that would be it. With rank one of the skill, you can moon people (same function as present mooning), or encourage them (maybe providing a small amount of energy instead of mood?). The second rank allows you to kiss people, tell jokes/sing/perform (giving a small amount of mood to everyone nearby), or maybe deliver a pep talk (giving a small amount of energy instead of mood to everyone nearby).
I realize that it's a lot like Transcendental Radiation of the Meditation line, but the idea behind this is that these Socialization/Expression skills are a lot more readily available but provide smaller bonuses, since they don't have a cooldown (or have a very short one by comparison.) Who knows, maybe Transcendental Radiation could be worked into this new skill tree; maybe one or more of these skills might be a requirement for it.
The reason I suggest this is because it's cool to be able to help out others, and stuff like this will encourage Glitch players to work together more.
