MonsterLady comes out of the storeroom where she had gone to get the ladder.
She looks around, amazed at all the changes while she was gone.
"Well, I guess we don't need this." she says, indicating the ladder, and returns it to the storeroom.
She notices a pile of empty dishes at the table. "I wish you would at least clean up after yourselves" she mutters under her breath, as she puts them in the dishwasher. Then she notices a pile of escape rings sitting on the table.
"Do these belong to anyone?" she asks. "What happened to that person who was sitting here? Corkmaster?"
LizWiz explains that after the holly appeared, Corkmaster had disappeared in a puff of smoke.
MonsterLady takes a Myst potion and scours the area. Rematerializing in her body she says "Well, I spotted Corkmaster in the middle of the Labyrinth. Looked confused, so I'll just go off and help. Carry on decorating while I'm away. Shouldn't be too long." She wraps up in her cloak, and in a burst of wind and rain through the door, is gone.

It is better to remain silent and be thought an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. (I wish I could remember this before posting!)
