They are, as they say, every flavor; including grass, black pepper, vomit, and more utterly repulsive flavors.

[givesyouaboner]

Eww. Who are you giving the bad ones to?

[thesmallesttrickster]

Those who's reactions are the best, or those that annoy me.

[He pulled a second back out of his cloak pocket.]

Would you like to try one?

[givesyouaboner]

_{[He stares at the assortment of colours.]}

Which one isn't completely disgusting?

[thesmallesttrickster]

The black pepper ones are mildly tolerable, though I suggest washing them down with a few of the good tasting ones.

[He picks out a grey bean with black speckles and holds it out.]

[givesyouaboner]

Oh, okay.

_{[He picks it out and chomps down on this. ...And wow, this is gross.]}

[thesmallesttrickster]

[Loki watches as Dirk's face shows the disgust at what he is eating. He quickly picks out a lemon bean from the good bag and hands it to him.]

Lemon should be strong enough to get rid of it.

[givesyouaboner]

Oh, good.

_{[He quickly takes the lemon one and chews on it. And yes, it does help. It's a weird contrast from the pepper, but he doesn't care at all.]}

Those really would be good to give to annoying people.

[thesmallesttrickster]

They are. It either makes them be quiet very quickly, or makes them mad. Either way there is typically a small amount of time where the shock of the flavor allows you to get away.

[givesyouaboner]

I'm going to have to get me some and do the same. This sounds like it'd be fun, too.

[thesmallesttrickster]

Make sure you separate them properly. Grass and Lime look remarkably similar.

[givesyouaboner]

Is there a cheat sheet for this or do you gotta learn from experience?

[thesmallesttrickster]

It is mostly from experience.

[givesyouaboner]

I guess I'm going to have to develop a strong stomach and get a lot of jelly beans.

[thesmallesttrickster]

Fear not, I shall assist you!

[givesyouaboner]

Sweet! _{[Cue a small unbridled laugh. He's just so happy.]} You're the best.

[thesmallesttrickster]

You are also the best!

[givesyouaboner]

_{[Incoherent screeching noises.]}

[thesmallesttrickster]

[more incoherent screeching noises. Probably words, but they're so high pitched human beings cannot understand them.]

[givesyouaboner]

_{[There might be some bouncing and arm flailing as well.]}
