[Action] > backdated to yesterday afternoon for pacing's sake.

[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...]

[Following the trail of candy. Collecting the trail of candy, all the way to the fountain. This is the best experiment ever.]

[vermified]

[She can still find Edward there- still sulking, still surrounded by a literal pool of rainbow candy. Their house is doomed, isn't it.]

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

[Houses fix themselves in Luceti! Therefore, still the best experiment ever. This is a waste of candy, mind; she's wondering if she can collect all of it and get it to the school later on for maximum crazed sugar highs amongst all the kids.

She does pause a few steps away when she realises just who is sitting on the fountain edge, though. Looks like she's caught up with the candymaker and she wasn't quite expecting to. W-well...he doesn't look like he's in a very good mood. Maybe she should just tiptoe away.

Or maybe not.]

Hello.

[vermified]

[Edward looks up, startled by the voice, then blinks at the sight of Katie.] Ah- hello. What are you- [His eyes drift to her hand, spotting the candy, and immediately turns red. Oh.]

Don't be embarrassed. [Silly Edward.] I wish I could turn everything into Skittles.

/tosses life preserver

[vermified]

[...goddammit, she even knows that much.] Easy for you to say, I'm sure. This is hardly a gift.

/o/

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

Why not? They're very tasty.

[vermified]

I suppose it would be alright if I had any sort of control over it. As it is, I can't touch anything without it changing!

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

Really? Have you tried touching a person? [...this is possibly said as if she's contemplating offering herself as a volunteer.]

[vermified]

Of course not! Why would I want to do that!?

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

To see what happens. [Duh, Edward.]

[vermified]

[....You mad little girl.] I refuse.

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

That's all right. I'm only joking anyway. [Masterfully hiding her disappointment. Masterfully.]

[vermified]

[Oh yeah, Katie, like that's believable.] ...Be careful not to touch me, alright? You have to promise.

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

... [Hmm.]

I suppose you're lucky you haven't turned your clothes into Skittles as well.

[Promise dodge >.>]

[vermified]

...Don't remind me. I've been trying to avoid touching them, too. [And don't think he missed that dodge, young lady. He wasn't born yesterday.]

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

[Ssh, he missed nothing.] I suppose you can't just wear gloves, can you. [Hmm...] Do you need a hand with anything?

[vermified]

I don't suppose you could help with Capell until Lord Sigmund returns. He'll be lonely without a playmate.

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

Do you think so? [She...still doesn't know Capell that well. Something about the way they met makes her a little shy, but...] Does he like climbing trees?

[vermified]

I'm not sure. You could ask him, though. There's no harm in it.

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

I suppose I shall, then. [Peering down at her great handfuls of Skittles 8|] Do you think he likes candy?

[vermified]

I have yet to meet a child that doesn't. [Plus it's fruit-flavoured. Capell not liking fruit is like the sun not liking fire.]

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

I don't. [Popping a piece in her mouth 8|]

[vermified]

[Uh huh.] So I see.

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

[Shuffling feet.]

Do you like it?
