goop

A shadow moves, gliding into the Kitchen, earning several startled looks from passing drudges. But as the shadow moves into the light, it becomes easily recongniable as a...Tree?

Desc - A deep green mask covers the top half of this person's face, tied on with green ribbons who's loose ends cascade down her back. Slick brown leather slides down the rest of her form, caressing every inch of her. Wood grained, bark like, petrified tree. Mystery Candie made of wood stands tall, secure in her anonimity.
FreakyTree creaks about the kitchen, pouring ingrediants into a small bowl. Oil goes in, as do other baking concoctions. Then as suddenly as she came, she leaves again.

FreakyTree slides into the Caverns and then on into the Bowl.

FreakyTree emerges into the sunlight of the Bowl, dish still cradled in its branches. Crouching down, it produces a spoon and begins to scrap at the ground, putting what it digs up in the dish, earning itself finny looks. Occasionally cackles are emitted joyfully as the FreakyTree scrapes, then leaves to the northeast.

OKay, now things are looking even stranger. A Tree is scraping around in the ashpits of all things. Dust is being thrown up as the excavation proceeds. "Found it!" is yelled out, before the Tree slides down and runs off, stirring the bowl furiously.

Excerpt from a conversation heard in the Caverns.

Drudge Bob: Did ya see that candie t'other day? *sounds of brush scrubbing stone floor*
Drudge Mary: T'one that is trying t'look like a tree?
Bob: Thats the one. She was up to something
Mary: What?
Bob: Well, I saw her wandering around the bowl t'other morning, scooping up gunk from the ground and putting it in a bucket!
Mary: Aye? I'm sure that I saw her 'borrowing' some oil and burnt stuff from the kitchens, then scurrying off. An I'm sure that I saw her scraping around in the ash pits.
Bob: Wonder what she was doing?
Mary: Dunno *sounds of scrubbing floors which abruptly stops.* "Eeeww! What t'shell is that!"
*evil laughter* "Goop!" *sound of rustling leaves and a fading laugh*

Yes, the FreakyTree has struck! Her new concoction is "Goop!" and she wants to share it with everyone! No-one just just quite what the contents are, but they're sure to be unpleasant!
Feel free to RP having found goop on your cot/floor/weyr/dragon. speculate on it's contents, and trying to figure out who the mystery "Tree Girl" is!

"Goop!" is a trademark of FreakieTree, and is a harmless substance, although it may make you go "Eeeeewww!"

And the follow up event:

More pranks are afoot. The imfamous goop that FreakyTree made was perfected -- it can now stick very well; they could barely even stir it once more ingrediants were added.
And so, with this extra-sticky substance, two masked people, The FreakyTree, The Bunny and a resident, set out to cause mischief.

The Living Caverns have been struck by chaos. The adhesive proved to be strong enough to stick things like chairs -- and now, not only are some immobile and stuck on the floor, but some jut out at 90 degree angles from the wall, and are set upon and glued to their sides. Plates and mugs have been locked upon tables, woe to those hungry and thirsy denizens of Ista Weyr. Dollops of this mystery goop have been smeared on the floor, on chairs, around the entrance of the Living Caverns.

Hopeful of not being caught, the three of them went to the baths, washing any stray bits of the stiff off of them. The water that proves to dislodge and disslove the odd concotion has also been removed to the kitchen, unless anyone try and experiment.

Thats right! The FreakyTree and the Bunny teamed up to creat havoc with even more goop!
