"I figured another one was for the best," Jordan said, giving Marcus a sympathetic look. "After - you know, band-aids." He wasn't going to describe the incident. Marcus's dignity had already been bruised enough today. He blinked as Marcus joined Dakota on the ceiling, and made a few more notes, now that he had his hands free again. Quote: Marcus Hasan - Cupcake - Transformed into black and white long-haired cat. - Appears unable to speak, but can meow - Mind still human, understands speech, some catlike behavior - Cookie - Infatuation effect - Brownie - Floated up to the ceiling Quote: Dakota Rainstar - Cookie - Changed gender - No immediately apparent negative side effects - Brownie - Floated up to the ceiling Quote: Ceres Kentley - Brownie, forcibly administered - No physical change - Infatuation effect? Quote: Petra Walker - Cream puff - Immediate deep sleep Quote: Ryan O'Connor - Cookie (powdered sugar) - Uncontrollable singing - Tart - No apparent change? This was really kind of a demented way to be spending an afternoon, he mused, and kept the thought to himself. Who knew what Julie would think of it? He couldn't see any kind of pattern to the effects; there was really no way to tell what was going to happen with any individual pastry. "I don't think it was a prince. Just a brownie," he said to Harrison, and added, "Could you see if she'll wake up? Shake her shoulder or something." He looked up at Marcus. "I think I should try to pull you back down to the floor before you eat anything else. If you lose the buoyancy suddenly, you'll have a nice crash-landing. Er - Dakota, I don't think it'd be a particularly good idea to leave the room. If you kept rising, you could be in some real trouble. You should probably also come down." He tucked the notebook under his arm and held his hand out to Marcus.

Well put Jordan, well put. Also, thank you for not going into detail about that incident you were a true saint. No wonder you were so popular. Grabbing his arm, Marcus hoped the effects were not permanent in any sort of way, or, wouldn't come back at a later time. Like some horrible cookie herpes.
"If I eat another and it makes me fall in love with you, shove a different cookie in my mouth okay? I am done with this love drug s**t."

Dakota frowned as Marcus joined him up there before cocking his head. Marcus looked like he was walking on the ceiling, better then Dakota's swimming motion after all.
"But boss, It's so much fun." How was he having so much fun being the test dummy for these things anyways? Perhaps because the first treat turned him into a girl and the second one let him fly?
It wasn't like he was in love with Jordan (like some people) or singing stuff...(like other people*coughRyancough*). He frowned one more time before turning himself like Marcus, walking a long the ceiling before looking at Jordan.
"Just how should I get down from here?" He watched as Jordan helped Marcus, wondering what he would turn into with the next treat.

"I can do that. Awkward for all parties involved." Jordan hauled Marcus down far enough that the other man could grab and eat another pastry. He looked over to Dakota. "I can give you a hand in a minute," he said.

Marcus smiled, grabbing a cookie as he grabbed a handle to a cabinet. ******** this floating s**t. "Thanks Jordan now let's just hope this one won't kill me." taking a bite, he went back to earth and- Well. This was the worst thing ever. By thing he meant ever listening to Julie and going along with her. Crossing his arms and sitting down in a chair, Marcus didn't realize how he looked.
Hair was a bit longer, a bit more muscular, and his soul patch was now a full on goatee. "Well, this is certainly going well." He said, picking link of his coat. Somewhere someone was probably thinking how Marcus was a *****. And as he looked now, he definitely was.

"Brownies are one of the fair folk," Harrison agreed. "They know all kinds of magic and s**t."
Marcus was eating another cookie. He knew it had been decreed that they should partake in what was laid before them, but... "Maybe uh, maybe it's not such a good idea to keep horking them down like that," Harrison said. Marcus had probably been promoted for his steadfastness and dedication. Even if he'd been demoted since then. So maybe the guy was just really loyal to the cause or the kingdom or whatever.
His poison sugar-induced funeral. He'd been lucky to not be effected, probably the work of his good fairy. Harrison turned his attention back to Petra. Shake her?
"Fair knight," he repeated. He didn't want to shake her.

Dakota grinned at Jordan from the ceiling as he watched Marcus float down.
"Thanks Jordan, your a pal." He said as Marcus took another cookie and then sat down...and MATURED.
What the hell?
"Mar...Boss." Dakota grinned like a mad man, "You look good man, I hope to age that well..." He joked before holding his hand out for Jordan, "Should eat another cookie or something, how long do we still have in the kitchen...."

"That's not what ..." Jordan stopped and just shook his head. Not the kind of brownies he'd meant, but all in all, Harrison didn't seem to be particularly put out by being a princess. Again. He'd just - yeah. Not argue that one. "If nothing else, all the sugar probably isn't great," Jordan agreed. He raised an eyebrow at Marcus as the new changes manifested themselves. "Not bad, dude. I like the beard." Quote: Marcus Hasan - Cupcake - Transformed into black and white long-haired cat. - Appears unable to speak, but can meow - Mind still human, understands speech, some catlike behavior - Cookie - Infatuation effect - Brownie - Floated up to the ceiling - Cookie - Age increased? Jordan offered a hand to Dakota as he'd done for Marcus, ready to drag him back down to within reach of the pastries.

A shrill beeping noise interrupted anything else the trainees may or may not have been doing. This continued to persist until Julie finally wandered over, placed the upside down book somewhere on the counter, buried her hand in the mound of pastries, and pulled out a kitchen timer. She inspected it for another five seconds before putting it back down.
"Oh, has it been two hours already?" She looked and sounded disappointed. "Time sure goes by fast when you're having fun!" The Moon Hunter looked back to Jordan, placing both her hands together, as if talking to a five-year-old. "Did you learn anything today from this very important mission?"

The tone of voice Julie used made Jordan twitch, just a little; nevertheless, he took a moment to consider the question carefully and organize his thoughts.
"When testing unknown elements, careful observation and attention are required," he said. "Both to the results of the test, and to the test subjects. Unexpected reactions may require steady nerves and quick thinking; lingering effects may need to be dealt with after the testing is concluded." He paused, frowning a little, and added, "The person running or observing the test should also be prepared to take responsibility for what may happen and any consequences resulting. Including being alert for the possibility of delayed effects and for psychological backlash if human subjects are being used."
Another thought occurred to him. "Also, alertness and observation even in unusual tasks may be important to success."
Also that the Moon Division assistant is certifiable, Ferros said.
It's a good thing I'm the only one who can hear you. Jordan paused. "Julie, what's going to be done with the rest of the - er - baked goods?" he asked. "Since they have experimental substances in them, it's probably not wise to leave them lying out in the kitchen."

As Jordan talked, Julie stared at him with rapt attention, for the first five seconds. Another five seconds later she was given him the attention she normally gave Caelius and his speeches, which is to say, she had entirely wandered off to examine more interesting things such as the piece of lint on the ground, or admire how tall John was now, he was just so tall, so so tall.
The Moon Hunter had just finished wrapping a piece of string to the end of Dakota's foot from her perch on another counter before jumping down, carrying the Moon Hunter trainee proudly around very much like a balloon.
"Yes yes, very good, very good Johnny, here, have a cookie." She patronizingly offered Jordan one of the questionable pastries. "Well, your mission is complete, have fun cleaning up!"
The Moon Hunter, still literally carrying Dakota off a la balloon decoration gave the Sun Hunter trainee one more thumbs up before exiting. Balloon Dakota might have hit the door frame painfully.OOC - A few days later, after Jordan pretty much cleans /burns/ removes all those "unsavory pastries", the Sun Hunter trainee finds in his dorm room a simple white box. Inside is a new coat, a Sun Hunter intermediate trainee coat, a card with only a smiley face attached, and an entirely new handful of cookies all in a jar. On the bottle was simply the words "Try Me". - The cookies have a status effect, the same as the pastries in the promotion ORPs. If Jordan feels like it/ if someone stumbles upon them, simply have them roll a 100-sided dice and match the results to the ones from the mission ORP. There is a 24 hour effect on the cookies. - In addition, anyone else here will linger in their current status for another 24 IC hours - All trainees are free to make an exit post OR stay to help Jordan clean up / then make an exit post. Nyxtsuki Moon Dakota is now following Julie.... until she spots something else and lets go of him and he gets.... stuck in a tree. HELP.

Dakota was grateful for the extended hand from Jordan, like he was ready to come down now he supposed before someone got any ideas.
Just as the thought left his brain, Julie intercepted and tied a string to his leg. how he didn't feel it? A mystery to them all, but as she bounced away, Dakota looked at Jordan's outstretched hand getting farther....and farther away. "Jordan...Marcus." Dakota wiggled but in the end, he was just a very human like balloon for his assistant.
"Don't let her take me outside." He whispered, in fear that she might hear him. No such luck. He was bobbing in the air like a macy day parade balloon before she got sight of something else and let him go...

Goodbye cruel world, it seemed my fate was not to die at the hands of a halloween monster, but one disguised monster in rainbow socks and valentines hair clips, claiming to be a hunter.
Lucky for him the tree stopped his ascension into the heavenly white gates. But now he was stuck. Yay.

Stroking his beard, Marcus waved off the compliment and warning. "We're hunters. I figure it's a calculated risk. Petra's not dead after all." She was just passed out and... was that drool. Oh Petra, you were so loveable in such odd ways. Probably because you were sane. Dakota was taken by Julie to who knew where, and the rest of them were left to clean. Well. "Considering other missions she's sent us on this one was relatively tame." A knowing look at Jordan.
"I mean, the worst is Petra, who just passed out. Well. And Maybe the infatuation drugs I swear we shouldn't go for anything come valentines." Not from Julie at least. "Speaking of Petra, we should probably take her back to her room or at least the dorms. After we burn these-" A glance at the on confections with a shudder. "Concoctions."

"You're right." This hadn't been anywhere near as humiliating as that mission. Just ... strange. Jordan sighed and looked at the cookie he'd been handed, then offered it to Ceres. "For you," he said brightly. He wasn't interested in having anyone following him around making sparkly eyes until the effect wore off; anyway, it seemed that at least a few of these pastries had effects that were at least tolerable. He shuddered at the thought of Valentine's Day mayhem. "Mental note, no baked goods around mid-February." The spectacle of Dakota being hauled off like a balloon was still on his mind; he stared at the door, frowning. "Someone should really go rescue the poor guy. I'm going to start gathering the rest of this stuff up to get rid of it." Now that he'd finally managed to free his arm from Ceres's grasp, he went to crouch down by Petra, tapping her shoulder. "Petra. Earth to Petra. Time to wake up."

Petra missed it all. Marcus and Ceres flirting with Jordan, Dakota growing boobs, then floating to the ceiling, Ryan being completely unable to talk except to sing showtunes, and even Harrison spreading his coat like a skirt. Not that she would be particularly disappointed, although she might have been slightly amused (and secretly pleased) that the pink-scarfed boy kept calling her 'Fair Knight.' Ultimately, however, Princess Harrison's words fell on deaf ears, the moon trainee completely unresponsive from where she was sprawled on the floor. Although she would forever deny it, '*****' Marcus was right -- she really was drooling, her pastry-induced coma having all the negative side-effects of a sedative. Which would also include having all the stability of a sack of potatoes, come when someone decided to pick her up.
Twitching a little when Jordan tapped her shoulder, Petra rolled over a little onto her side, whimpering in her sleep. "I don't want to feed the minipets..."
