Whomever tied my shoelaces into a knot this morning, it was not appreciated. Kindly do not enter my room without permission again.

[Pen taps]

Rogue, are you about?

[Slight pause]

Is everyone else [very small pause] alright?

Someone tied your shoelaces? Maybe it's the same person who had switched everything in our kitchen around? I found the sugar in the cutlery drawer! They must have been very busy, though.

Other than that, I'm well. How are you? It's been a while.

[burnt_orangesky]

Perhaps, though it sounds as though they had a most busy night if it was just the one person. Rogue mentioned something about walkways in some of the residential sections being greased.

I am well, thank you. It has been a while; did you manage to fix your hairpin?

And the Watch patrols night and day! They couldn't have missed a whole strike team of pranksters, unless they were all ninja. I think.

Oh yes, I did, and it turned out very important indeed. So I really do owe you.

[burnt_orangesky]

Most strange... do you think it may be more than merely flesh-and-blood pranksters?

Then I am very glad to have found it for you. And you already knitted me a scarf, which was more than thanks enough.

Maybe? Do we have ghosts in Edensphere? They sometimes move things around, right? Or maybe it's the same forces that pulled us from our beds when we were all apprenticed to someone?

It was no trouble, really.

[burnt_orangesky]

Ghosts are certainly one possibility, but I was thinking more along the lines of the Tree itself being to blame. So yes, the same force that pulled us from our beds.

Still, I am grateful you agreed to do it for me.

Mm, and I somehow don't think Edensphere has ghosts. Other than the one with a capital G. Perhaps we should just assume that it's the usual suspect when something odd happens.

It's a little hot for scarves right now, though. Do you think straw hats would have a market niche? I learned how to make them a while ago.

[burnt_orangesky]

That is what I would normally do, but this seemed more... personal and less like something the Tree would do, at least at first.

I don't see why not. I am sure there are several people here who would buy hats if you were to make them.

Until it began happening to everyone, yes. There seems to be all sorts of mischief happening, and not just the pranks.

Maybe I'll give it a try! It would maybe cut down on the people who come to Wellspring sick with the heat.
