[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...]

[Oh. And oh, because it occurs to her she's actually heard about this before. Volsung and Sigmund. She wonders if Edward knows about that. Not really her place to mention it if he doesn't.]

Well, being a child is fun, but I suppose you don't want to do it twice. [Fidget.] Can anyone else help?

Once was enough. There... is also this. [He reaches up to his chin, then grimaces and stops himself before he turns his clothes - and subsequently, anything beneath it - into Skittles.] ...I created a necklace with special properties in order to decrease my lunaglyph's power. It helps sometimes. Otherwise, I don't know. The only expert on the subject is still on my world.]

I wish I could help.

[Well, she probably can a little. Maybe. Dealing with certain echoes is risky, but it might help it to not weigh on his mind.]

...It's alright, Katie. That you listened, and don't hate me... it's enough. I'm indebted to you.

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

Don't be silly. Why would I hate you for something that's not your fault?

[vermified]

...You'd be amazed at how easy it is to do that. [He should know.]

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

I'm sure I would be. [She's an old hand at that herself.] But I like doing things the hard way.

[In lieu of being able to pat Edward's shoulder, she just pats the fountain next to him instead.] I hope you stop turning things into candy soon. But don't waste it.

[vermified]

[Waste it? There's a fountain of candy behind you, what do you want from him.] In other words, make sure the house has a healthy supply of it before it wears off?

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a good idea. There are starving children in Africa, you know. I'll have to make sure to mail it off.

[.......

Katie? You are a very strange little girl.]
