[If you happen to be out and about in the village today, you might find find a strange sight. There is a scattered trail of brightly coloured candies in the snow, in various locations throughout the village. Where a tree or a bush might have once been, there is now nothing but candy. In the smithy, what was once a sword is now candy. The broom that might have been useful in cleaning up such a mess is also gone. Certain spots in the grocery store are full of candy as well- as if someone had taken something off of a shelf and replaced it with a handful of sweets. The entire tomato and pepper sections have been completely cleared out, inside transformed into bins of candy.

And in the plaza, sitting on the edge of the fountain, is Edward, his face buried in his arms. It's hard to tell if he's annoyed or just downright depressed. And the fountain itself, instead of being filled with the normal flowing water or even seasonal ice?

Full. Of. Candy.]


[ooc: Edward has the superpower of the SKITTLES MAN. May children everywhere now love him. Just don't let him shake their hands...]

It's that or being spoon fed, right?

[vermified]

Maybe I'll just starve for a few days.

[markofthewise]

Don't be stupid, Edward. Who knows how long it will last!

[vermified]

It's not stupid! It has to do with pride, and dignity! A nobleman's son doesn't eat like a dog!

[markofthewise]

Right, uh huh. I don't think nobility starve either.

[vermified]

...Nobility do whatever they want. [More or less.]

[markofthewise]

... wouldn't exactly call that a point in their favor. [Azula in Luceti was all he needed to give him a distaste for pretentious nobles.]

[vermified]

I like to think it offers a certain amount of freedom and privilege not all citizens of the world get to enjoy.

[markofthewise]

Yeah, I guess regular people don't have the freedom and privilege to starve or not starve. Generally it's just the former.

[vermified]

Th-that's not what I meant!!

[markofthewise]

Uh huh. [Whether Sokka is taking this to heart or giving Edward a hard time isn't immediately obvious. He stands up and pats Edward on the shoulder.]

Don't eat too much candy. I hear it's bad for your teeth. [Walking on away.]
