The Sinking Feeling You Get When You Eat Magic Food

[bears-omnitrix.livejournal.com]

Welcome meatship crewmembers to the instrument of pure silly.

It had been a long period of waiting, but a prank was about to be issued after these dire dark times. As such, tables were set up around the WITCH Bus and other locations, unmanned stands where Lemonade and Brownies were available with the compliments of your friendly companions.

Do you dare risk chocolately goodness or sour-sweetness to discover it's dark delicious secrets?

(ooc: tag around, bug others and feel free to continue to madness. IC duration is about a day. Unless you deliberately take more with you. As a reminder, Lemonade brings you up ages to a good looking adultish level. Brownies turn you into kids. GO NUTS. Refer to the ooc post for details and ask questions there.)

She giggles at him. "You are! Like a moth larva!"

The girl floated to the ground, fiddling with her rag-skirt.

"I did. Is anyone going to reverse the effect?"

"Um... thank you." He's flattered, really. Just mostly surprised right now. Nobody's ever thought he was much to look at before, and now that he's even less humanoid he was a bit worried for a moment.

"I, um, don't really know. I hope so. It looks like a lot of people, uh, fell for it."

"It is unfortunate," she agrees, a small frown on her face, "but very interesting. It would not be so bothersome if I could fight," she sighed, frowning at her little body's limitations.

Tavros's, of course, were even worse. "Can you transport yourself?" she asked him. A larva would have some difficulty operating the wheelchair.

[alterniantaurus.livejournal.com]

"Oh, you can't, fight anymore? Why not?"

At her question, Tavros balks a little. Yeah, he's in some trouble right now. He'd been trying not to think about it.

"Umm... no," he finally confesses, "I need, uh, some arms, if I want to move the chair."

Starfire holds up her hand, attempting to create a starbolt. All that results is a pitiful green flicker.

"My body is not developed enough to sustain that power. I can fly, but that is all."

She nods sympathetically, then enthusiastically. "If you require moving, I can push! I am weaker than before, but I still retain enough strength to move a chair."

"Oh, uh, I'm sorry." He seems genuine. "But, I'm sure it won't last very long, um, and then, you'll have your powers back."

He smiles at her offer.

"Thanks. Uh, I appreciate that. But, I'm not sure where I should go. Or if I should go. Maybe, um, they're coming up with an antidote."

[starbolts]

Starfire tries to smile. "I hope you are right." It wouldn't do to have so many of the crew members in this state for long.

"Then I will stay close. If the antidote comes, I will retrieve it."

It's that simple for her.

"For... me, you mean? Uh, wow, thanks, Kor-- Starfire. That's really, nice of you."

He hadn't expected her to actually stick around. The other alien is just full of surprises!

[starbolts]

"It is no trouble at all," Starfire chirps up, not seeming to mind the almost-use of her Tamaranean name. She looks awfully tempted to cuddle him, in fact...

But she resists. "Do you know anyone who might be able to help us?"

[alterniantaurus.livejournal.com]

Tavros is accommodating, even if her odd translated name still strikes him as something that wouldn't be out of place in a FLARP campaign (http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004359). He tries to remember to call her Starfire.

He stops, thinking about that.

"Well, there are a few, umm, magic users on the ship. One of them might know, uh, some sort of age spell, maybe. Hang on, I'll ask."

He drops his omnicomm out of his digital hammerspace inventory system... and it clatters to the floor.

Arms and hands would have helped you catch that, Tavros. They would have been useful for that facepalm you wish you could do right now, too.

[starbolts]

Starfire nods. "Then we shall have this resolved!"

But poor Tavros drops it! Starfire dives to the ground to pick up the device gingerly. "I can make the request if you wish. What should I say?"

[alterniantaurus.livejournal.com]

Tavros watches her. Good thing she's nice. He's just making one careless mistake after the other today.

"Thanks. Um, I don't know... I was just, thinking of making a post on the main channel, uh, to see if any magic users could maybe help change us back."

[boundlesslight.livejournal.com]

Starfire can do that! She nods, fumbling with the buttons for a moment before opting for dictation mode. Much easier than typing.

"Someone should be here soon," she hopes.

"Good, being a grub again, kind of stinks. Even if, uh, you think, I look like a moth or something."

Having to rely on others to get around would get old really fast!
