The Sinking Feeling You Get When You Eat Magic Food

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.)

Grows on Earth. Huh. Kaylee inspects the fruit carefully, turning it over in her hands several times. It's...kind of understandable that it's called a starfruit, based on its outer shape. Once Jamie cuts it open she understands the name a bit better.

"Where's here?" she asks, taking the slice from him. She bites into it slowly, as she does with every fruit. Fresh fruit is hard to come by, and is meant to be savored, the end. Anyone who doesn't take time to appreciate it, well...they're probably Jayne.

The starfruit is sweet and tangy and wonderful, and Kaylee nods her approval to Jamie between bites. Minus the gorram brownies and her being stuck as a kid, it's actually turned out to be a fantastic day. A note is made, somewhere in the back of Kaylee's mind, that she really has to do something amazing for Jamie in return. For now, though, she'll stick to appreciating her snack.

While Kaylee is testing out the starfruit, Jamie cuts himself a slice as well. It's been awhile since he's eaten this particular fruit, and part of him hopes that Stacy's able to fill in the gaps with the taste.

"New Oberon," he replies. "At least, that's what the colonists called it." According to the survivors they had found, anyway. Jamie doesn't really want to get into what had happened during their time here, as it would spoil what has also been a good day for him as well. So he concentrates on eating his piece of starfruit.

It tastes rather like he remembers, and he's distracted by it long enough that he doesn't notice the rather odd sensation accompanying it immediately. However, since he's got the belt on the kilt cinched in, the fact that it's suddenly gotten much tighter does register after a few seconds.

"Hey?"

Looking down, he realizes two things. One, the brownies seem to have worn off and he's his normal size again. And two, between the belt and the rolled up sleeves and legs of the plantsuit, he's a wee bit uncomfortable.

New Oberon. Well, wherever it is, Kaylee likes it. Even if it does have giant Areents guarding the shiniest parts of it.

Kaylee's about to start in with more questions when Jamie's, "Hey?" catches her ear. One look over at him--up at him, rather, how weird--and she's giggling before she's able to stifle it.

"Should I turn 'round while you adjust?" Come to think of it, if Jamie's changed back it's probably a good idea that Kaylee checks over her own clothes to make sure they're ready for when the brownies she ate wear off.

He's actually already considering try to make it to the side of the clearing - because the belt is starting to press into his skin through the plantsuit in a way that's downright painful, but that would work too.

"Aye, if ye don't mind," he manages to get out, trying not to let it show just how uncomfortable he is right now. Good thing he didn't age down any younger than he had, or things could have been considerably worse.

"Won't take me long."

"Not a problem."

Kaylee turns around, and even takes a few steps back toward the trees to give Jamie a little more privacy. She's got to check over her own clothing anyhow, which is also easier if Jamie's preoccupied...

The sleeves go over fine, and she straightens them out with am extra tug to make sure they're over her wrists alright. It's not until she goes to unroll her pantlegs that she realizes that, somewhere between turning around and tugging at her sleeves, she's turned back too.

Ah, well, makes life easier. "You alright, Jamie?"

A few adjustments later, and Jamie lets out a internal sigh of relief. Things are no longer threatening to strangle other things and this is very good.

Kaylee's line of thinking works well, as he's too distracted by everything to even really look at her. So it's not until she speaks up that he realizes that she's turned back as well. "Aye, I am. I don't know about ye, but I'm glad that part of it's over."

The rest of it, though, he finds he doesn't particularly want to end just yet, if he can avoid it. Retrieving his dirk, he cuts off another few slices of the starfruit and offers her another piece. "Do ye have time to finish these or do ye need to get back?"

Kaylee has to agree: nothing like being little again to make you appreciate being big. "Makes you appreciate growin' up just a bit more, yeah?" Even if she does miss the playing aspect of things.

The piece of starfruit is accepted and bitten into without complaint, and Kaylee chews on it thoughtfully as she double checks her Omnicom. "I can spare a moment or two, 'specially for somethin' like this. Ain't somethin' you see often, and you gotta enjoy things as they come."

Engineering can wait a few minutes before she gets there. Right now there is fun to be had.

It does just that, and Jamie nods, in complete agreement with Kaylee's statement. "Aye," he says, rather fervently.

He nibbles on his piece of starfruit while she checks the Omnicom, and when she agrees to stay, he looks rather pleased. He could point out that since it's the Sensoriums he could think it up again whenever she liked, but then she might decide to go. So he keeps that thought to himself, and points over towards the waterfall.

"There's a wee area just up ahead where a tree's fallen over. We can go sit there."

It's a very bonny place up close. So it's there he chooses to enjoy those last few minutes with her, until they head their separate ways.
