Who: Crew of the Shepherd + anyone who would be around
What: I want caaaandy!
Where: The ship and all around (catch-all event thread)
When: 9th onward

The Shepherds had picked up several new crew members in recent days, but it seemed that the world they were now in had seen fit to share with them another new addition: the presence of bowls of heart shaped candy strewn about the ship.

It seemed shenanigans were about to be afoot.

Oh, god, why am I doing this, Cherry?

[mysterical]

[The Melodist looked up as she was waved over to where the young redhead was standing. Seriously, the more she watched him, the more she wondered what Luke had been like as a "child".

Of course, she'd been tactful enough not to say that out loud. As much as Luke and Asch disliked being compared with one another, she was sure that Asbel would feel the same way.

Instead, she approached him carefully, curious as to what he wanted.]

Asbel! I don't think it's wise to just eat things if you don't know where they come from.

idk why are you?

[curries]

[It's probably a good thing, too. Asbel hates being called a "child", and he probably wouldn't take too kindly to being compared to Luke (who seems like an okay guy now that he knows him a little better) or Asch (who's kind of a huge jerk).]

Oh, I'm not worried about that. Someone left us all kinds of food before, and none of the crew got sick or anything. Well sure, there was that one rotten fruit, but it stunk so bad nobody was dumb enough to eat it anyway. We threw it overboard.

[For all her well-intentioned words of caution, Asbel's completely unconcerned. However, he is feeling just a little funny. But it's not a tummyache or anything. Feels more like his head's doing the backstroke.]

Hey, Tear? Can I ask you something?

Dunno. Asbel's just so cute.

[mysterical]

[She stares at the boy for a moment.]

So, you just eat the food that you find mysteriously on the ship? What if it was poisoned? I don't think we have any Panacea or Poison bottles with us, not that I'm sure they'd work here.

[When Asbel calls her name, she turns to look at him, curious as to what he'd ask.]

Hm, sure. What is it?

Don't become a willing victim.

[curries]

It's fine. [He spreads his arms in the universal gesture of "relax, will you?".] We took care of the witch. Besides, who'd want to poison us, anyway? Yeah, those Navy guys are probably still mad at us, but we'd have seen them coming.

[Of course, with the things that have happened already...]

[...Asbel doesn't want to think about them, though. He doesn't want to think about them ever again. Instead he focuses on what he's trying to say. It's kind of silly, but okay. He's got this. The boy takes a breath and then just blurts the words out - the first ones that come to mind.]

Oh, I was just wondering if you'd...be mine?

[He doesn't even know what he's asking. He doesn't know.]

Can't be helped! Look at that face! (Also, you can ignore this if you want.)

[mysterical]

Navy guys?

[No one's filled Tear in on that topic. Sorry, she's going to ask about it.

Until he says that!]

Wh-what??

[curries]

Yeah, you know. [He gestures widely like Tear should know exactly what he's talking about.] I guess they're kind of like a sailing army? They don't like pirates much at all. Or any of us for that matter. Maybe they think we're delinquents or something.

[He blinks, not having the slightest clue of the implications of what he said just now.]

Huh? You don't...want to?
