Ever look at the Celestial Accessories and wonder 'Aside from OOO's attempt to make money, what has brought these strange things into existence?'
There is an answer to this question.

Take a look at this. See anything? Does it look familiar? Probably not. But it IS familiar. There is only one logical explanation for the look of this item. Slooms.

I know what you're thinking. 'Isn't this another stupid theory?'. Well, look into this more. Celestial typically means something in outer space. Guess what? Slooms, which are part of the lichen family, came to the Cradle via meteors. Meteors are from outer space.

'What else? That is not enough support' you may be saying. Look at this post about this post on free Prismatic Bolted Vees, announced by Eurydice.

This resulted in about 16 million extra prismatic bolted vees in the ecosystem. What these folks intended to do with that many, we’re not sure. Perhaps dump them in a pile on the ground and roll around in them.*

*We suspect that would be painful, but we’re not judging.

Suspect they would be painful. If these Prismatic Bolted Vees were painful, perhaps the mods are simply trying to provide us with a safe alternative. Sloom gel.

Perhaps you should check these messages I was able to snag from Aphrodite's trash can. Also, I have no idea what Aphrodite puts in that trash can, but it smells AWFUL. I'd stay away from it unless you want to recover some Spiral Knights history.

Dear Aphodrite,

I see your concerns of slooms possibly endangering knights into eternal slumber, so we have set out on a quest to vanquish them from the Clockworks. Rock salt is getting expensive, so the only choice I have is to destroy their habitat. We shall keep a few in captivity.

Sincerely, *tomato ketchup splatters*

Dear Aphrodite,

The habitats of the Slooms have been destructed. Two appear to remain in existence, but their presence is in a far away place that is unlikely to ever be spotted by knig*chocolate ice cream splat* Don't let the team*vanilla ice cream splat*

Dear Aphrodite,

Knights have been encountering slooms in monster ca*jelly splats* This problem will be taken care of. However, our lab scientists have discovered some practical uses for Slooms. This is amazing. Apparently, Sloom gel makes excellent hair gel. Try it! Along with that, sloom gel has other uses such as toothpaste, sleeping pills, and jelly! Spread the stuff on your toast, it works magnificently! Although, we haven't tested what people would think of blue bread yet. Also, Sloom gel makes a sturdy building material. It quickly rebounds when pierced with our fencing foils. Though, we don't know exactly how to take advantage of the material ability yet. Perhaps a nice chair. Maybe even a Halloween costume or armor, since it looks interesting and unique. After this, Slooms should be officially taken care of within the Clockworks. Just don't let the knights know that the zee core *jelly splats*

Yours truly,*sloom gel splat*

Have you seen enough, yet? First of all, Aphrodite needs to stop eating food while reading. I don't even want to look at the bookshelves in that household. Second, was it a coincidence that I found some moldy toast with blue jelly on top along with that last letter? (It also makes good toothpaste. I took out the old toothbrush in the trash and scooped the blue jelly off the toast. Minty, but it made me quite tired.)

So, what do you think of the Celestial accessories now?
