[The camera zooms a bit: a giant orange and yellow pile of stuff comes into focus. It is candy corn. It is almost five feet of candy corn, you can tell because it is almost as tall as Eden, who is standing next to it, an expression on her face that says this is my life, welcome.]

I may have bought a touch too much candy.

[She can't help snorting. That's a lot of candy.]

No such thing.

[eiremagic]

Do you want some?

[It tastes like wax.]

[universaltranslator]

I can get my own stash, but thanks.

[She feels kind of awkward asking, but she's still trying to get the hang of a currency-based economy.]

How much did that cost you?

[eiremagic]

Most of it was free.

[universaltranslator]

There's someone giving away that much candy?

[eiremagic]

You've never had candy corn, have you?

[universaltranslator]

No. [She frowns and studies the candy surrounding Eden] Do you mean that's actually made out of corn?

[She's not buying it. That doesn't look like corn!]

[eiremagic]

No, it just looks like corn.

[universaltranslator]

Not like any I've seen.
