A local villager wants you to fetch some mistentoe for him, but he's very picky on the type of mistentoe he wants. You must track down the perfect mistentoe, a stack of it, and return it to him! He'll reward you for your time.
There are four zones in the canyon labelled zones 1, 2, 3 and 4. You can move to one zone at a time by simply stating what zone you are. Every time you move, you get to roll a 1d6 dice. Keep on moving around the zones until you finally find the right one. RP out effects accordingly.
1. You see what looks like a mistentoe herb, and by obligation of request, taste it. It tastes bitter! As you debate life, you suddenly shrink to only three inches tall. Oh no! (You can not change zones unless someone else quotes and carries you around for the rest of the quest) 2. You see what looks like a mistentoe herb, and by obligation of request, taste it. You feel pretty okay, that is, until you start talking. Everything comes out in haiku. Your character must talk that way until the quest is finished/ they leave. 3. You see what looks like a mistentoe herb, and by obligation of request, taste it. You begin to float, as if weightless. Oh no! You're going to float away! You must tether yourself to the ground. (You can not change zones unless someone else quotes and carries you around for the rest of the quest) 4.You see what looks like a mistentoe herb, and by obligation of request, taste it. It looks really unsafe and you don't feel so good... Add +5 to your miasma meter. 5. You see what looks like a mistentoe herb, and by obligation of request, taste it. You SUDDENLY FEEL LIKE YOU ARE EMBUED WITH THE POWER OF TEN THOUSAND WARRIORS! YOU COULD DEFEAT ANYTHING WITH A SINGLE PUNCH BECAUSE YOU ARE RIPPED! (this is only a mental feeling it actually doesn't increase strength). 6. You see what looks like a mistentoe herb, and by obligation of request, taste it. This is the right one! You thankfully take it home (QUEST COMPLETE)

Carlos drifted through. Oh people wanted him to do things and be helpful? This villager wanted mistentoe, was that a spice? did you drink tea with it? he had never heard of mistentoe tea.
"Do you make tea out of it? Can I have some? Does it make you fly?"
Apparently he would know when he found the right one once he tried it. Carlos was ok with that. "Ok!" he mewed. "I will try all the things." Carlos set off through the zone and started his search. Were there other creeple near by? He popped up next to them. "Good bye! Hello!" he giggled and then set off again, and found a mistentoe. Oh wow! His eyes widened. He felt strong! super strong! like he could move mountains. Wow!
Well, even if he hadn't been requested by the villager to go find an herb, he might have gone off on his own to retrieve it instead. New things always sounded so appealing after all. So, without much of a word, Waits accepted the villagers challenge and traveled to the area of zones.
Naturally he started with the first one. Simplicity sake and all. There seemed to be a small blue-ish cat creature in the vicinity. It got a bored looking stare and a quirked brown from the way it spoke and communicated. Reminded him a little of his own sibling with the odd way they talked.
Waits continued forward and plucked an herb from the ground. Delicately he took off a leaf and tatsed it, testing it to see if it was correct.
It didn't seem as such. No. He felt rather odd, like if he spoke he would too speak in a weird pattern.

The creeper that was around seemed bored. They didn't say much. Carlos wandered back to them. "Mew. Are you bored? Did you find anything good yet? I found something that made me super strong." To demonstrate, Carlos spotted a rock and tried to pick it up. Being a ghost, and super light and not strong to being with, he did not get very far.
See!" Carlos ignored the fact that he couldn't actually picked it up. Just puffed his fur and looked proud of himself.

He shouldn't have been surprised that the small little halloween town denizen would want to engage in conversation. It seemed energetic, approachable and talked to itself. Like his brother. Waits lulled his head towards the cheshire cat and inwardly groaned when he opened his mouth to speak.
"Not bored, just passive, these requests take much energy, something will be found."
Yes, it was indeed true what that previous herb had done to his tongue. He was speaking in an odd manner, it was in a pattern of five seven and five again and it was muchly annoying. (Though, from a scientific standpoint, impressive... perhaps he should go back for that particular herb). At least he only spoke so much, so it would not take much of a toll on him. Waits drifted over to another zone and plucked the next herb up in his hands. He rolled it one between his fingers before he placed it in his mouth to taste.
"The right one is found, that did not seem too difficult, now I would like leave."

Was he speaking in Haiku? Carlos's eyes widened and his grin got wider and wider.
"A good poem indeed and without a rhyme I see A haiku for you.
For the thing you seek has already been found in time home again you go."
Carlos sang a bit echoing back the speech patterns. His poems were not good, but he certainly had a way with words. A rhythm and a pattern were easy to mimic, and it was like riddles. Riddles safe enough to share.
A Cheshire cat had many things in his lair of words. Haikus and poems were some of them. Even poorly spoken. his tail twitched in excitement and he ran up and purred along the horseman's leg, pulling around as he gave him a long cat rub.
"Hello, hello, hello, you say good bye but I say hello." he said in a way of a fair well greeting.
Carlos found a piece of the thing he was looking for and took it back to the villager. "
"A mistentoe herb who's taste is most superb for you I have found and now your meal may be round." he sang and gave a bit to them.

Entering Area 4
Another preparation before they left was some kind of herb gathering. The elders of the village got terrible back pain out of dancing and partying for all night.
After getting some bearing of how the herb itself are shaped-and tastes- he gotten a sack to place the herb and ventured forth.
The herb gathering area are split into four big areas. Where will the herbs be?
Because this is not a puzzle, he can use the cheating ability of [Jack] and confirmed the location of the growing herbs.
Oh. There's some, he inwardly said while picking some white-flowered plant and bit a bit into their leaves. It tasted a bit sweet but refreshingly bitter at the same time. Yep, this is the Mistentoes he needed.
