vermified | [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...]

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

From:

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?

From:

vermified

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

From:

markofthewise

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

From:

vermified

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

From:

markofthewise

But you tried it anyway?

From:

vermified

I never said I tried it!

From:

markofthewise

[OBJECTION!!]

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

From:

vermified

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

From:

markofthewise

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

Why bother covering up the fact you ate one?

From:

vermified

[S-stop pushing dammit.]

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

From:

markofthewise

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

From:

vermified

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

From:

markofthewise

[Skepticism is go.] Like what?

From:

vermified

...This week has been very confusing.

From:

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.

From:

vermified

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

From:

markofthewise

Homo... it's when a guy likes a guy. But, you know, more than just regular liking. I assume it works the same way for girls. As for the meat thing... yeah. Stuff. I turn it into meat. With my mind. But at least it tastes good. [It's actually pretty awesome, assuming he doesn't turn things into meat he actually likes.]

From:

vermified

[Colour him educated. Edward's not really sure what to say about that, so he focuses more on the girlfriend bit :|;; turning random objects into food, he can definitely sympathize with, but he doesn't want to talk about that, either...]

Why do you think your girlfriend is "homo"?

From:

markofthewise

She had no problem making out with me when I was a girl. In fact, I suspect she preferred it that way. [Do you hear that, Edward? Do you hear how Sokka is trying to hide his INNER PAIN underneath a conversational tone?]

From:

vermified

[Does he care? ...Okay that's unfair. However-] That's ridiculous. If you feel strongly enough about someone, their gender shouldn't matter. Surely she was just indulging you.
