Bashed By A Broom In Big Brother and Betting a Backpack By The Big Bink Bree
Who: Keto
When: Just after Jay's gone on his broom-handle rampage
Where: In a heap, in the garden
Groaning, Keto tried to get to his feet, managed to raise himself
about four inches, then flopped back on the floor.
"I'll find a way to get Chrysler for that..." he murmured, trying
to see if the feeling had returned to his legs yet.
It hadn't, he decided, four minutes and several instances of pain
later. Jay had quite effectively managed to beat him to a pulp.
Keto's only satisfaction was knowing that the pilot had busted a
perfectly good cleaning implement in the process.
"A completely unprovoked attack," moaned Keto, hauling himself
towards the door, "What a cruel thing to do to a helpless doctor."
When he was within two feet of the door, crawling along, Jay walked
over from inside and shut it in Keto's face. The doctor glared up at
it, then made a grab for the handle.
"I'll get him for this..." he repeated seconds later from his prone
position at the foot of the door, having landed on his face.

Who: The Big Pink Tree and Owen
Where: Parrott's Bar
When: During Keto's little crawl, after the odds have been announced
Owen, just finishing hanging the chalkboard up with the odds
written on it, was marginally surprised to see the Big Pink Tree
bound in the door, a rucksack hanging over a couple of branches. The
Tree wasn't a usual sight in Parrott's - it wasn't a big drinker. A
little mulch and compost and it tended to get completely rat-arsed,
so alcohol wasn't a really big thing for it.
In this case, however, it seemed to want somethint pretty urgently,
as it bounded over to Owen and began rustling frantically.
"Eh? What?" asked Owen as the Tree jabbed a branch frantically at
its backpack, "There's something in your backpack?"
*Rustle!*
"You want to put something IN your backpack?"
*Rustle-rustle!* protested the Tree, jabbing a branch at the
board. Owen frowned, then blinked as he understood.
"You want to bet your backpack?"
*Rustle!* exclaimed the Tree, waving its upper leaves in a nod.
Owen looked at the backpack, then shrugged. Well, it had to be worth
something.
"Who do you want to bet on?" he asked, and then was hardly
surprised when the Tree vigorously jabbed the name Keto - jabbed so
hard, in fact, that the branch snapped and the Tree had to scoop the
shards up from the floor.
"Okay, one...backpack...on Keto," sighed Owen, and made a note of
it. Happily, the Big Pink Tree bounded away, leaving its backpack
behind the bar.
"Well, this has to be worth something..." murmured Owen, opening
the backpack and finding several small containers of fertiliser, a
little bag of Nutri-Grow and a small UV lamp.

OOC: And the backpack itself is of highest quality! :)
And shame on you Jay, you ruined a perfectly good broom on beating
up someone like Keto! ;)
