Third Floor Common Room, Monday afternoon

[noonedecidesmyfate]

When Belle arrived in the common room this afternoon she was greeted by the sight of a rather ridiculous amount of marshmallow candies stacked on a table. There were any number of different colors of bunnies and chicks as well as some different flavors.

"What's a Dr. Pepper meant to taste like?" Belle wondered. "Or Mike and Ike? Why are the marshmallows flavored with people?"

Hopefully they weren't really people but the flavors did have people names and that was a bit odd.

"These sparkly purple ones are interesting though. And wild berry seems like a reasonable flavor."

She hadn't even seen the Hot Tamale, Sour Watermelon, or Fruit Punch flavored ones yet."

There were so many marshmallows. Belle had no idea what to do with them all but perhaps a taste test would be in order.

[Open, obvs!! And you're welcome, intern porg.]

"Oh," said Libby, looking slightly horrified despite holding back a laugh, "but I'd feel even worse about eating one of those ones. They've got it bad enough as it is."

And now she was on the brink of saving and adopting a small nation's population worth of marshmallow chicks and rabbits.

"Perhaps you'd be putting it out of its misery?" Belle suggested, eyeing the chick in her hand critically.

Libby, don't make her eat them all herself!

"Oh, no," said Libby, with s shake of her head. "I don't believe that. Even a difficult life is one still worth living...

"...but," she added, a little thoughtful, "the Bible says God put the animals on Earth for us to eat from, and I guess you could say the same for marshmallow animals, too..."

"These animals are certainly meant to be eaten," Belle said.

They even came with nutritional information labels.

"And trying the different flavors ought to be interesting, at least. I'm terribly curious about Mike and Ike! And Dr. Pepper. I wonder if it's spicy?"
