<Wonders how Platchoarles is pronounced, but since typing doesn't require verbalizations quickly doesn't care>

<looks at where tree house is suppose to go, remarks that she thinks the tree could use some environmentally safe glowing green paint for effect.>

<realizes that she left her glowing orange cupcakes on the table, grabs one and tosses it into the nearest Platchoarles mouth.>

<Platchoarles spits it out, chirps and then does a back flip>
