[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...]

[vermified]

Well what do you expect me to say!? You've been acting strangely all week!

[markofthewise]

"Hey Sokka! Nice to have you back."

[He's not upset though. More curious about other things.] What happened to the fountain?

[vermified]

[GRUMBLE.] Well, it is nice to have you back. You're not allowed to ever be a woman again! [He glances back guiltily to the fountain at that, though.] ...I'm not sure what happened.

[markofthewise]

Believe me, I don't want to be.

[However, he kneels by the fountain and scoops out some skittles.] It almost looks like candy.

[vermified]

I'm fairly sure it is candy. It tastes that way, at least.

[markofthewise]

[He pops one in his mouth. Hmm, doesn't taste bad, but...]

I just wonder how they got here...

[vermified]

[FIDGET.] I can't imagine.

[markofthewise]

[Noticing that.] Are you sure about that?

[vermified]

What? Yes. [No.] What makes you think I would know?

[markofthewise]

I don't know, you seemed pretty depressed for a guy sitting beside a rainbow-colored fountain. It kind of clashes, don't you think?

[vermified]

...My mood has nothing to do with the decor!

[markofthewise]

... really. And you have no idea where the rainbow bits came from?

[vermified]

...Of course not. I don't even like candy.

[markofthewise]

But you tried it anyway?

[vermified]

I never said I tried it!

[markofthewise]

[OBJECTION!!]

So what was that about it tasting like candy...?

[vermified]

[......Crap.] Fine, I had one. What difference does it make?

[markofthewise]

[Tapping his chin thoughtfully now. I know there's more to this testimony...]

Why bother covering up the fact you ate one?

[vermified]

[S-stop pushing dammit.]

I already asked you, what difference does it make!?

[markofthewise]

That's what I'd like to know! You're getting all defensive about it.

[vermified]

I'm not getting defensive! [...Okay, maybe a little.] ...Anyway, I have more important matters than candy on my mind!

[markofthewise]

[Skepticism is go.] Like what?

[vermified]

...This week has been very confusing.

[markofthewise]

Yeah, I kind of noticed. Between being a girl, the twelve year old girl living with us becoming a six foot tall man and not caring, and the fact I think my girlfriend is homo... [thank you for that Haruki, no really, thank you] Oh, and the ability to turn stuff into meat with my mind, it's been confusing all around.

[vermified]

..."Homo"? Meat? What in the world? [Wow, and here he'd been thinking he had it bad. All about perspective, apparently.]
