[Today is a very special sort of day. Because Rhade also had a cursed object, only he didn't realize that it was one of his leather jackets. His plan to go to the CES is somewhat hindered by a sudden inability to think up a lie.

He's on his way there, anyway, not realizing yet that how exactly the flood has caused this. He knows that he needs to check up on Ben, because whatever was happening there was really.... strange. Just strange. Basically somehow candy has made Ben act slightly creepier than usual.]

OOC: So, for the first time ever on spontaneous whim I'm doing a truth thing with Rhade. He won't ramble on the network but if he runs into someone he will.

[It's easier to actually make progress when no one is talking to him. Ben is still sucking on the lollipop, his mouth gone cornflower blue, and snickering from time to time but there's no one to trigger a full blown laughing fit. It feels... good, even if he doesn't really understand it.

He's en route from the inmate showers to the deck when he spots Rhade ahead of him, and jogs to catch up. Why not? He was about to go running anyway when his initial attempt at it hadn't done much to curb his returning energy. May as well start now.]

Gaheris! [Better, also, not to run with the lollipop stuck in his mouth.]

[And here comes his oddly giggling inmate. He slows down to look at him.] I'm glad to see that you're fully recovered, but I'm perplexed that your mouth is changing colors.

[That last bit felt unnecessary somehow. He glances around warily, as if those words were pulled out of him and he needs to find them again.]

I told you - and a number of other people - that I would be fine.

[This cheerful, and then his eyes are rolling down until he's nearly cross-eyed as though he can see his mouth. He twirls the candy thoughtfully.]

I've decided it's obviously the candy. I don't think it's natural, though.

The flood probably created it, but I don't know what my problem could be because I didn't eat any candy today and I only started acting unusually recently.

You're almost cross-eyed. Which isn't really relevant but for some reason I took note of it. Okay, now you're not.

[Ben's gaze straightens out and he considers his warden, still almost-smiling although not actively laughing.]

Do you feel well otherwise?
