berry bonanza(open to both magic and tech path folks)
How was Lucy supposed to know to not eat one of the muffins left in the lobby of the apartments? Look, okay, yes, her natural skepticism probably should have warned her off as it usually does, telling her not to eat strange food that someone's just left around, but maybe the weird optimism of Magisteria has started to get to her. And they'd just... looked so good.
And now, with every move she makes, glitter scatters. They're going to be finding it in the carpet for years.
She'd gotten a very concerned call -- as have other Otherworlders, Lucy assumes -- and a plea for help, and here she is, set up at a table in the lobby, dissecting a muffin. It's a criminally good muffin, actually. It's soft and fluffy on the inside and smells amazing. But what she's mostly interested in are the two types of berries she's found inside: Hexberries, and what she's told are Neon Berries, which look a little like strawberries but in shades of color that only belong in a rave.
Lucy pokes one with the knife she's used to cut the muffin apart, frowning thoughtfully. She nudges one of the cut-up Hexberries toward the person she's studying them with.
"I'm seeing some weird energy readings from these things. It's fluctuating all over the place." Her Bursterfly, which she's kept hold of after hooking it up to an energy reader, is oscillating in different colors as it sits on the table next to her. Lucy's grown kind of fond of the critter. "Food causing magical effects is... new to me, though."
