[Magic being flooey? Not a problem. Okay, it is, but she figures it'll right itself sooner or later, preferably sooner. The problem was it was draining her fast, and when she can't control her own magic, well...]

I don't suppose anyone knows where I can find an army of rabbits? [Because her room? Is kind of having a carrot bonanza behind her. Probably enough to last her a long time if she ate nothing but the darned things. Not that she can normally conjure then, but side-effects were a pain if they happened without her consent. At least it's stopped now, and she's thinking trying anything else that's magical is a big n o until this resolves itself.]

Alternatively, anyone needs more vitamin orange in their diet? I mean, I'm all for a healthy living, but I rather like being more flesh than yellow. I can trade them for whatever, it's cool. [And yes, she will be nibbling one of those carrots as if this was normal.] I bet they'd go well in your dinner plans.

I'll figure out how to transport it later.

Could I have some? [ Kara looks so much more tired than usual. This is the price she pays for not having superpowers anymore. ] I'm starving.

[Meanwhile, this guy's moving an armful of carrots off the floor and onto the table.]

Carrots? Seriously? Is this some kind of cosmic rabbit-out-of-a-hat joke? Whoa! [If it's a joke, he's the punch line--he got a little too close to tripping over a stray carrot there.]

Of course, the offer's still open. [Though she does notice the tiredness. She feels it too, though probably not as badly as others do just yet.]

Hey, you all right? You look like you haven't slept much either.

Whoops, careful now! [She'd zap it off if she could, but that was a problem when everything she's conjuring is turning into orange veggies.

She'll just pick some of the others on the floor and put them in a box, separate from those that were on the bed, table, shelf, sink and other places she deems less hazardous for a person's health to pick something to eat from. She's going to be cleaning the rest later.] Could be worse. At least it's not a matter of losing limbs or being getting halfway stuck through objects.

I'm okay. I don't actually need to sleep. If anything I've been doing it too much. [ W h o o p s. ]

[A pause as she considers that statement. She's already concluded that whatever's going on, it wasn't just affecting magicians (alien scarab counted after all, and she's sure that's not the only alien affected), so assuming everyone is in a way a victim of the change...]

You're being drained of energy. [She states more than asks, frowning.] Are you able to walk around, or are you stuck at home? I can always make a delivery. [On foot, because she'd rather not risk teleporting when she could get in trouble.]

I can walk just fine. I'm just... taking it slow. [ She can't run or fly, and that's pissing her off. Mostly she just hates being so tired all the time. ]

[Arthur eyes the screen a moment, then shrugs.]

I might be able to move some of them.

Maybe try your hand at selling them at the market? [It's like a flood of carrots. Drowning in orange there, Traci.] Or offering them to the soup kitchen.

ME. [Overly enthusiastic dog is a go.]

[ Hello, Traci. Have a dirty little street kid: ]

I wanna eat 'em. Alla 'em.

That happens? [Jaime grimaces.] I take it back. Carrots are great.

[Jaime goes for another bundle of carrots... watching where he steps this time.]

It's like they never end.

[That's a lot of caaarrots]

Well that's going to be useful with all the restrictions going on. Uh, can I ask how did you do it though? I hadn't seen anything that looked like Earth-food since I got here...

[Well, that is... a lot of orange root vegetables.] I'd take some off your hands. For a fair percent I could try unloadin' most of it at the markets for you. [Casually offering to fence carrots. Yep.]

This some kind of side-effect about the powers? Gotta say, it's the weirdest one I've seen.

No way, save them all for yourself! I mean, just imagine how awesome your eyesight will be!

Now, now, no need to be greedy about it after all. This way, I can spread the blessing of a 20/20 vision.

Would you like some carrots?

Understood! Well, if you don't mind meeting me halfway, I can get you a basket of these. I'm still sorting out containers because I hadn't exactly planned this out. [On the plus side: food. On the down side: She misses seeing her floor properly without a spot of orange.]

You wouldn't believe just how many people use magic incorrectly. The consequences are no laughing matter.

Luckily, or unluckily, it'll probably end soon. I don't see any more popping up. [She looks grateful for that, because as much as she wouldn't admit it outloud, she's feeling drained-- probably less so than she should've been given she suspects the staff took the brunt of it-- from both the magic output and the distress she can feel from the city.]

You sure you don't mind helping me out? I can't imagine picking carrots to be a very interesting activity.

That would actually help a lot. There's... well, tons of it.

I've actually made a portion for bartering later, but I didn't think of trying the soup kitchen. That's not a bad idea.

Separating them in piles makes them look a lot less than when they were filling every nook and cranny I could find.

[--- Well, that's new.] Here's a sight for sore eyes. [There is a wolf on the console, she can't.] What's your name, fella?

[Oh hello, little kid! That was cute, though.] Well, I hope you don't mean all at the same time. That can't be very good for your tummy.

I figured I should've held them hostage instead, but then that's way too many even for me.

[As for the question, well...] I wouldn't say I did it so much as it kind of just happened. [Flunky magic = too much orange.]

How many percent constitutes as fair to you? [Too many for her, really, even if she doubts it'll last a week for most people once they've distributed it.]

Pretty much. I was hoping for fruits, but I guess carrots aren't half bad. Could use more condiments for a snack, though.

[Bart isn't feeling the rationing so badly right now, so he's not as excited by the carrots as he would be. ]

Do you think I could have a pound or two?

We should try to freeze some or preserve them somehow. Do you know how to make veggie chips?
