Tentacle Goo

Ooh! Mooshy!
  Sometimes, the side effects of being Voidtouched can be somewhat unique.   Princess Sunny is well known for the odd tentacles that have sprouted from the lower part of her spine. They were originally only visible in her bunny form, but have now become apparent in all forms. These tentacles are black, shiny, and apparently defy the laws of physics. Their numbers also vary.   These tentacles have suckers that produce a substance that tends to leave an itchy rash on contact with normal skin. However, this substance has an effect that is of particular use to a Literomancer. Namely, it sticks to Glitter. The combination of this substance and glitter forms a gelatinous goo that perpetuates exponentially when exposed to additional glitter.

Properties

Material Characteristics

Tentacle goo is typically a transparent, viscous mass with glittery sparkles in it that is something like a kind of slime.

Physical & Chemical Properties

The goo is cool to the touch, and feels damp, but doesn't leave any moisture behind it when handled. Depending on the magic it interacts with, it may take on slightly different colours, odors, and flavours. For example, if either Princess Luna or Duke Uri Kwake plays with the goo for any length of time, it takes on a pinkish shade and the odor and flavour of gum drops. If Queen Sable Aradia handles it for a while, it glows with a starry silver-white shade and tastes like cotton candy. When it absorbed the corrupted purple glitter used in The Fourth Word War, it turned a sickly purple shade and developed an acrid odor and a bitter flavour.

Compounds

Chemical analysis of the goo has been, to quote Lapin biochemist Dr. Georgina Mamby-Pamby, "a waste of time." It is impossible to identify the elements that make up the goo by any currently known means.  
We know it's not radioactive. Other than that, I couldn't tell you.
— Dr. Georgina Mamby-Pamby

Origin & Source

Princess Sunny is the only currently known source of tentacle goo, due to her "unique" physiology. It seems likely that eldritch beings native to The Void may also produce similar substances, but this has not yet been tested, for obvious reasons.

Life & Expiration

Tentacle goo breaks down glitter, which seems to be its primary use. Doing so is what causes the material to propagate. Once it has absorbed all the glitter it contains, it also begins to deteriorate through evaporation, and possibly, a cold-fusion-based process of atomic decomposition. Tentacle goo that is a few days old will have the consistency and feel of gelatinous desserts, and be warmer and dryer to the touch than fresh goo. It also dissolves in water.

History & Usage

History

Mostly, tentacle goo has been used for fun. It's a great toy for children, and also, an excellent fidget for people who suffer from ADHD (or so Foxx and Queen Sable Aradia claim.) However, during the Fourth Word War, prior to The Battle of Crystal Song, it was an essential tool in the arsenal of the army of the living. When Queen Sable, and subsequently, the entire command staff of the army were exposed to corrupted glitter that caused detrimental psychological effects, Princess Sunny used the goo as a key component in removing the contamination. Since glitter gets everywhere, and sticks to everything, this turned out to be extremely important.  
It also makes delicious desserts. I frequently mix it with my ice cream. No calories!

Discovery

Princess Sunny accidentally discovered the unique properties of the substance produced by her tentacles when she was exposed to Glitterbombs during The Third Word War.

Distribution

Trade & Market

While the Bunny Queen has urged her sister, as a joke, to market tentacle goo, its rarity makes this impractical.

Storage

Continued exposure to Literomantic Power will prevent tentacle goo from deteriorating.  
Theoretically, if you give it a shot of magic from time to time, you could keep it indefinitely. Don't know why we'd bother, though. With all the glitter Foxx scatters around this place, there's no shortage.
— Princess Sunny
