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.

There's a soft chuckle at the 'think they have to act tough' bit. Well, it's much deeper than that, with Asch. Still, there's no point in going into his original's business. Holding a smile in place, he just decides to go along with it. So, with a nod and light smile, he says in a somewhat sheepish tone, "Heh...yeah. Maybe."

The light smile then matched his tone at Asbel's recounting the events. Well, that's not quite what Luke wanted to know... Yeah, this might take a while...

Well, to Luke's surprise, it doesn't take as long as he'd begun to expect for his question to properly be answered. The replica blinks and gives a slight tilt of his head. Candy...? There's a pause as he thinks back to the candy he had eaten, "Wait, really? ...I had some of the candy, too."

He folds his arms over his chest, then moves to place his forefinger and thumb to his chin in thought. Well, they have that part in common. It can all just be a coincidence, though, right? There's no way candy is able to dictate their actions to that degree.

...Or, he would think these things, if he weren't on some strange world looking for some shards just to get back home. Funny how a detail like that can change a person's entire perspective.

Geez, the guy's okay. Asbel'd feel bad messing with him now. So instead of teasing him, Asbel decides that from here on, he's going to try to help Luke out. If he really doesn't remember anything from before, then there's a ton of stuff for him to learn about the ship and everyone on it who isn't already friends or "sorta-friends" with him. The eleven-year-old returns the smile, the gesture completely unassuming and without judgment.

"Yeah, positive. Because some of the others thought it was a bad idea, and Hubert was going on about cavities and stuff."

While Luke contemplates the situation, Asbel digs around in one of his pockets and reveals a handful of the candies. Yeah, he totally hoarded some of it, what are you guys going to do? The only candy Asbel's gotten recently was thanks to Gaius, and he'd feel bad pestering the guy too much.

"So you think it's these? The food didn't do anything before, but maybe they really have a curse on 'em this time."
