Let me call you "Sweetheart," I'm in love with you [Closed to Varian]


[Fern has adjusted to the Omnis very quickly, so it isn't unusual for him to give his a quick check for messages early in the morning when he's still half-asleep. Especially in the wintertime, when the lack of sunlight makes it a bit harder for him to get going.

That's what he does this morning. He untangles one arm from around Varian, reaches for his Omni on the nightstand and, still mostly asleep, opens what appears to be a message from Karkat. It's weird and brightly coloured, but he isn't overly concerned or anything, so he goes ahead and clicks on the first link in the message.

And then he's candy.

He doesn't really remember the change. One second he's grass and sleepy and about to curl back up with his boyfriend in bed, and the next he's candy and just bursting with love and happiness? Emotional volatility? Nosir, only sugary sweetness can be found here! He curls back up with the sleeping Varian, and much like when he's grass his hair is everywhere. Now, however, it's more of a cotton candy texture, and lollipops and candy canes and other assorted sweets are growing in it. He grins widely at his boyfriend, poking at his cheek.]


Heyyyy, wakey wakey wakey....


Let me hear you whisper that you love me too [Open to disaster house and friends] 


[Eventually, Fern - Fun makes his way downstairs to the kitchen. What better way to start the day than to cook a wonderful breakfast for his friends? They'll wake up the smell of pancakes and muffins and all kinds of delicious things! It'll make them so happy!

Of course, Fern has never been much of a cook, and Fun certainly isn't. He proceeds to utterly trash the kitchen in his quest to do something nice for everyone. He cooks breakfast, yes, but everything - absolutely everything - is loaded with sugar. Even if you've got a big sweet tooth, even if your mouth is nothing but sweet tooths, you're going to find it all way too sweet.

But hey, he's having fun! He's humming to himself as he dances around the destroyed kitchen, plating everything up. Hopefully Trench has figured out how insulin works because yikes.]



Keep the love-light glowing in your eyes so true [Open to all] 


[After destroying the house's kitchen, Fun gets bored and manages to evade the other residents, wandering outside into the city. He isn't looking for anything particular, he just feels like exploring Trench with fresh candy eyes. And oh, is it ever worth it! The fresh coating of snow blanketing everything makes the place look magical! With a body made of candy the winter weather isn't affecting him the same way it did when he was grass, so he's out there enjoying the snow to its fullest extent!

He can be found in various parts of Trench building snowmen and making snow angels. And if he sees you? He'll be racing over to try and yank you into a happy hug. Hello friend!! Hope you enjoy the invasion of your personal space! At least he smells minty fresh?

Unfortunately, he's also wandering in more dangerous sections of the city. Maybe he comes upon a monster, though that shouldn't be a problem, he can always make a sword and fight it -

Except no. A monster is just a friend he hasn't made yet, obviously! Please stop him from trying to hug the angry monster and getting his shit wrecked. He could really use some help right now.]

I have every reason to be sour! [Okay, his voice might be raising now, a mix of frustration and genuine fear Fern might be stuck like this.] My boyfriend has turned into an obnoxiously happy bon-bon. I think if there's any reason to be sour, it's that!

[Also he has ice powers now, which he'll need to talk to Korra over but not yet. Absolutely not yet. ]

I'm not doing it to cheer me up! I'm beyond cheering up right now. I'm doing it to try and get you back to normal.

[It's a solid mix of corruption and the strange, coldblood aggression that have pushed him this far. Once this is all out of his system, he'll feel terrible for snapping at the person who matters the most to him in the entire world. For now, though, he remains irritable.

Fun goes in for a hug and while he doesn't step out of it, he doesn't hug back. He just exhales sharply.
]

Yeah, sure, if you wanna call it that. Now you need to stay inside the house while I try to find a way to fix you.
droptheious: (You've got your short sad life left)

[The fact the hug is the same does make him relent, hugging back. It doesn't feel right. Just like when Fern was human, his body isn't right. It's not got the same feel, the same give as the grass does. It makes him intensely uncomfortable. ]

...Okay, sure. You can make breakfast. If that keeps you in the house, then that's...fine. I'll have breakfast.

[He's starting to worry. The human thing was an easy fix, he had a time limit. What if he can't fix this? What if Fern is stuck like this? More amber cracks through their ceiling and he squeezes his eyes shut, willing it away. Trying to put a tap on all his emotions threatening to get the better of him. Quietly: ]

...Thanks. For the breakfast.
