Candy crush saga is not an appable series.

[punchtheflute]

Who: Sonny, Jolt, Likeminded folks who want to eat all the terrible candy
What: Eating all the terrible candy
Where: Somewhere on campus under a tree
When: Let's just say this weekend.
Warnings: Too much candy is bad for you. Unless you're Sonny. Or Jolt.

It had been a chance meeting at S*Mart (Shop Smart! Shop S*Mart!) but it had blossomed into something wonderful.

You see, even in our consumer culture, driven by sales and promotions and discount pricing, sometimes there can be too much of one particular thing. Like, say, Valentines Day Candy. Remember Valentines day? You probably wish that you didn't. But someone at S*Mart had sure been on the ball because they had ordered a triple sized quantity of candy to fill those shelves. And those end caps. And those stack out displays. And a massive portion of the stock room. And oh holy crap what are we going to do with all these sweet tarts and cherry cordials and heart shaped boxes of pink whateveritis that haven't sold yet!?

You put it on sale, that's what you do. You heavily discount it. Like... just try and get it out the door kind of discount it. Like, this store is going to lose thousands on this but we can't return this stuff to the vendor so people please come and buy boxes of chocolate for a dime and bags of chalky aspirins with vapid sayings printed on them in god only knows what for a nickel and if you buy ten dollars worth we'll throw in some Easter candy because we ordered too much Easter candy too.

Oh. Yeah. And that chance meeting I mentioned earlier? It was Sonny Moe and Jolt.

The aftermath of this as you can probably imagine is two young guys, relaxing in the sunshine, strumming on a ukulele and eating inappropriate masses of super discounted candy. If that sounds like your idea of a good time? Well come on over.

[[OOC: I'm going to make one thread for Sonny and Jolt to just chat. Anyone else who wants to come on over can feel free to start a new thread of their own! ]]

"Yeah! Come hang out with us! We have plenty enough to share!" Sonny agreed, grinning at the Pidgeot. He knew that Pidge found his friendliness disconcerting but he could only hope that it would become more welcome over time.

[rivalairslash]

It's going to take a little more for Pidge to give in. Of course, Char is always the worst, yes. Always.

"Plenty?" He looked back at the large pile of sweets, frowning. "That's more than plenty to feed an army. I hope you two aren't trying to eat all of them up..."

[rivalthunderbolts]

Jolt's smug little smirk just got wider. "Well, you know, there IS a pretty simple way to stop us from eating all of it," he replied. "Have a seat and eat some of it before we can!"

His logic was irrefutable.

[punchtheflute]

Indubitably!

"Yeah! What kinds do you like, Pidge?" Sonny asked, picking up a few more boxes. "We have gummy candies too instead of just chocolate. Oh! And Peeps!" he said, offering a box of little yellow birds to the guy that was kind of a big yellowish bird.

[rivalairslash]

Unfortunately, Pidge wasn't well-versed with what sort of sweets are there. So when he saw the box full of tiny cute yellow birds Pidge made a horrified face.

"What!? Humans turn little ones into SWEETS!?"

Oops, his bad habit of jumping to conclusions.

[rivalthunderbolts]

Jolt tried to stifle his laugh. He really did. But it didn't work, and he snickered. "Relax, Pidge! They're just marshmallows shaped like birds," he explained.

[punchtheflute]

"They aren't real Pidgeys! I promise!" Sonny said with a little laugh.

"They're made out of Marshmallow. Look!" He popped one from the plastic of the box and tore it's head off with his teeth. Because That was Surely a reassuring gesture. "Shee? Mashmarrow."

[rivalairslash]

An inaudible scream left Pidge's mouth at the scene. He froze in place, pointing at Sonny's face.

"You... You ate the little one!!"

So much for trying to convince a Hasty Nature; now he was running off with his incorrect assumptions.

"How dare you! I will not forgive you two!!"

[rivalthunderbolts]

"PIDGE, THEY'RE NOT REAL BIRDS!" Jolt shouted after him.

He sighed. He set the snacks down and hopped up, shifting back into a Jolteon. "I'd better go catch him and stop him from freaking out," he said, bolting off after his brother.

[punchtheflute]

"OK! Good luck!" Sonny called after him.

"I guess it's lucky I wasn't eating Cadbury eggs." he mumbled to himself.
