When the silv'ry moonlight gleams, Still I wander on in dreams
Who: Fern Fun laminae and open.
What: Trickster mode player plot.
When: Early December.
Where: Around Trench.
Content Warnings: Forced emotional stability, invasion of personal spaces, body horror.
[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....
[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.]
[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.]

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

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

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

Fun hears the sound too and follows Kyle's lead, peeking over to what the cause of the noise is. Normally, Fern would immediately identify that as a monster and want to kill it. Fun, however....
Fun waves excitedly at the creepy snake thing, then hops over the embankment down into the canal itself.]
Hi, friend!!!
no subject
Wheeeee!
[He laughs as he stumbles over the ice, watching the snake horse wriggle. It opens its mouth at the two of them, red eyes rolling hideously, and screeches. Its teeth aren't sharp, but there's a lot of them.]
Do you need a hug?
no subject
I think he does need a hug!
no subject
That wasn't very nice! Someone must be cranky.
[He pulls ribbons out of his jacket pockets.]
Here. We'll make you pretty.
no subject
Wow, you got some air time!
[He just laughs a little, like this is a fun game. And he gasps when Kyle pulls the ribbons out.]
Oh, what a rad idea! [The monster, meanwhile roars at the two of them threateningly.]
cw: killin monsters
Kyle's eyes fill up with dark, glittering blood. He says only one word, but it thrums in the air.]
Oops.
[A huge shelf of ice and snow slides from an overhang above the canal, shaken loose by the creatures howling. It lands squarely on its undulating back, which is funny in cartoons and deadly in real life. The snake horse's spine crunches under the weight.
Kyle skips over and kneels beside its head. Its eyes roll horribly as he starts tying ribbons into its hair.]
oh my god Kyle
The crunch of snow gets his attention, and he takes a tiny step backwards as he watches it all come crashing down onto the monster. There's more crunching, the bad kind of crunching, and Fun follows after Kyle to approach the monster.]
He looks way better. [He nods approvingly before tying some of those ribbons on its teeth.]
omfg its teeth
Right?! So pretty!
[Kneeling in the snow, Kyle looks at Fun earnestly.] You're pretty too. Outside and inside. Thank you for being my friend. I was sad for a long time before I came here. But you were nice to me right from the start, and you don't think I'm weird.
[He gives him the biggest hug ever.] I'll help you anytime you need it. And Varian too. Just so you know.
[His eyes widen.] Dude. We should get cookies!
no subject
Aw, thanks dude. You're not weird at all, you're awesome! I'm glad we're friends. It's a lot less lonely being here with friends.
[Oh. Oh, cookies.]
Great idea! Let's get heckin' cookies!

Trickster Mode will eventually wear off. By that point, the two of them may or may not still be together, and it's entirely possible parts of Trench will have been vandalized in the most pastel of ways. The hangover and depression that comes with the comedown will be a heavy price to pay for this little adventure, but even when it does Kyle's going to remember that Fern said that they were friends.
Friends are important. It's something Kyle had tried to ignore, but weirdly Trench was reminding him.
So it was worth it.]
