[Today, a basket of candy showed up in everyone's cabin.

The candy will be personalized to match people's tastes. If for some reason someone's world doesn't have candy, it'll be a collection of the best candy from Lydia's Earth.

There'll be a note on the basket that says:

Be Sweeter!
♥ Lydia

Those who eat the candy will be feeling a lot more mellow, calm, and will be overall less likely to get involved in fights or anything violent.

The more candy consumed, the stronger the effect will be. The time it lasts will depend on everyone's biology and metabolism. The only side effect is that-- it might make people hungrier than usual.

She's fully expecting people to ask her about the candy, and she'll be glad to answer questions anyone might have. Even if she is pretty worn out from getting all of that done.]



[Video - Wardens]
[She's also exhausted from the other thing she did. After Arthas was released, she wasted no time before taking care of him.

When she starts the video, she has a tired, but satisfied smile on her lips.]

I have taken care of Arthas for the time being. He won't be hurting anyone.

[She turns the camera to show a bunny in a pen, and he's showing her his teeth. So she turns the camera back to herself.]

He's pretty vicious for now. I encourage anyone who knows him to come see him and talk to him. He's still himself and he'll remain this way until he starts to listen to us.

For his safety, I won't let him out of my sight, but his communicator is with him in case you want to leave him a message.



[Private - Pounce]
[She's still more than a little shaken up. She doesn't know what she was thinking, she doesn't understand how she couldn't see it before, but she does now. And she wants to fix it. So she follows Letty's suggestion and doesn't hesitate before asking for more help.]

I need your help with Arthas. It's urgent.



[Spam - Stiles]
[It's not until after she took care of everything with Arthas. Until after she spoke with Letty, took a shower and she managed to calm down that she makes her way over to his cabin with Prada in her arms.

She finds it strange that he hasn't checked in on her yet, but as she uses her key and quietly steps into his room only to find him passed out on his desk, it suddenly makes sense why.

So she closes the door quietly, sets Prada down, then silently makes her way over to her boyfriend.

If he was in bed, she wouldn't wake him. But as it is, he just looks uncomfortable.]

Stiles. [She whispers quietly, then places a hand on his arm.]

I'm not, I can just do things right now.

He's not but he needs a lesson.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Is the lesson 'Don't Mess With Witches'?

[lydiascreams]

No, the lesson is listen to wardens and don't hurt people.

[whatthewrackspurt]

That's a good lesson too, I think. When he learns it, will you change him back to normal?

[lydiascreams]

Thanks, Luna. He'll change himself, automatically. He knows that, too.

[whatthewrackspurt]

He said that he didn't want to change, though.

[lydiascreams]

He can't just keep on killing people either, Luna.

[whatthewrackspurt]

No, you're right. It won't make him feel better.

[lydiascreams]

I'm glad you agree.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Do we need a plan for him?

[lydiascreams]

We do. Do you have any ideas?

[whatthewrackspurt]

I think we need to let him carve out his own space to do what he wants, but secretly keep an eye on it to make sure what he wants isn't to kill us all.

[lydiascreams]

Carve out his own space in what way? He can't seem to focus on much other than revenge at the moment.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Let him have a little bit of freedom, I think.

[lydiascreams]

I don't know if we can afford that.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Maybe not. But we need to try something different. He's been here half a decade.

[lydiascreams]

I'm willing to try pretty much anything, as long as it doesn't put other people's lives in danger.

[whatthewrackspurt]

I agree. He does that enough already.

I'll think of some ideas.

[lydiascreams]

Thanks, Luna.

Let me know what you come up with.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Of course! My pleasure.
