[Event] Egg Hunt | Solas Circle

[Daja]

The best, stupid egg (TM) in hand, Daja set off at a jog in the direction of the commotion. Commotion meant people and people... well people didn't really mean eggs in this situation, and even if they did Daja wasn't the type to steal eggs from another man's basket. Not that she had the skills to steal eggs from another man's basket, given her usual level of excitability and general volume. Still, people probably meant something interesting was going down in the Circle (or at least there'd be someone to complain to about how Time Wizards and their hiding skills sucked.)

Stupid grin plastered on her face, she lopped off, past aggravation suddenly forgotten.

She didn't stop running, until she noticed something flying... gracefully(?) overhead. Glancing upwards, she watched as a rather big breasted woman landed against a tree. If anything, this just made her dorky grin grow even wider.

Would wonders never cease? Flying (well sorta) people.

Leaving Evanesca to her work (or rather attempts to minimize how much work actually needed to be done), Daja skirted around her tree. The other witch clearly had the monopoly on eggs up in the trees, so Daja would concern herself with the eggs on the ground. Besides, Daja definitely did not want to be the one to separate the birds from the fake eggs. That was just a disaster waiting to happen.

Leaving the potential bird disasters behind, she scampered towards a more human disaster--namely Maaren. Subtly dumping the rocks and flowers out of her basket, she transferred the best, stupid egg into it (hey it might just be a plain egg, but the best eggs were the ones already in your basket). Ducking around the man, she gave him a quick pat on the back--provided Evanesca's catapult attempt had not already knocked him to the ground.

"And good morning to you, kiddo." She snapped her finger and winked at the younger man. "Happy hunting!"  Unless the warlock made any other attempts to communicate (or attempt to explain that he was not in fact a kid, and it wasn't polite to run around calling grown men children), Daja would continue jogging forward.

As previously stated, Evanesca had clearly staked her claim on the trees, meaning that Daja would have to concern herself with what lay below. Grinning, she slide into a pile of leaves (hopefully not loosing the best, stupid egg in the process). After a moment, she resurfaced the best, stupid egg II in her hand, and a grin on her face.

Daja hath discovered a Green Egg. It's the dumbest color.

[Onork]

Of course Onork was unable to find his way back to town. He lost track of the footprints rather quickly, still in the forest. Well, maybe he could find more eggs while he was here, and work more toward fivetupling his record. Or he could follow this new set of footprints he had just found. He heard some commotion up ahead where the footprints were leading, so maybe it was back to town! Onork followed these new footprints, and would not lose track of them this time.

Still, those footprints didn't lead back to town...

[Maaren]

Maaren realized his mistake in taking interest in the woman when she opened her mouth. Much too energetic for him. Granted, these days, most people were much too energetic compared to Maaren. He watched her as she jolted up, grabbing the reddish colored egg as it slid off her backside and then stick it between her large breasts with the sparkling blue one. Maaren had met very few women like this before. Magic users were an interesting bunch...

"Ahh yes." Maaren looked to the eggs in his basket. Two white, one green. He was about to comment on how the woman's eggs were a strange color when he noticed that he too had a colored egg. Green egg. Didn't sound appetizing. Or like any monster egg he knew. Then again, red eggs and glittery blue eggs? Those didn't sound natural either. But the young Warlock could still feel magic emanating from them, especially the two stuck in the woman's chest. They felt especially powerful. "I have only been collecting them out of curiosity. They may have some use, so I agree, finding more would be beneficial."

Before Maaren could move though, the woman came bounding at him, and used his shoulders as leverage to hoist herself up in the air and at another tree. Maaren crumbled under the weight of the woman. Not that she was especially heavy, but he was especially weak. It was then that another woman came by. Maaren looked up at her. The woman was certainly different than the first that vaulted over the young Warlock, appearance aside, but she was just as energetic it seemed. Friendly at least.

"Ahh, yes, good morning to you." Maaren bowed his head, and when he looked back at the woman, she was grabbing through a pile of leaves. The young man shook his head. These eggs were making everyone crazy. Perhaps it was for the best that he could no longer work himself into an emotional frenzy. From his place on the ground though, Maaren did notice something strange. One of the glowing mushrooms seemed to be hiding a small something, as if it were an umbrella. Reaching over, Maaren plucked the egg from its hiding place, wondering just how it got there in the first place. Maybe they had legs. No, no, that was absurd. Well, not like hidden magical eggs in the forest wasn't absurd either...

Maaren hath discovered a Green Egg. That's crazy!

[Daja]

Daja grinned, and gave the man a dramatic salute. Such nice people you meet wandering around in a forest full of bloodthirsty monsters, while looking for magic, time eggs.

Resurfacing from the leaves, she held up the egg to inspect it, and moved to blow a bit of moss off--and wait that's no moss. Deftly, Daja tossed the green egg up and grabbed it (nearly dropping it in the process). Whaddya know? Green eggs. Maybe she'd find some ham in the woods as well.

Carefully, Daja put the new egg down in her basket next to the best, stupid egg. Giving the leaf pile one last investigatory kick (to make sure no new eggs had appeared), she started walking away from Maaren. He looked a bit preoccupied with his mushrooms.

A few feet off from the tiny outcropping, Daja discovered a pair of foot prints leading away from town. She glanced behind her towards Evanesca and Maaren. Either could have made it. Still, she decided to follow them away from the village--just in case the Time Wizard had forgotten one last egg, and plopped it down in one of the foot-prints.

Daja hath discovered a Red Egg. Watch your step, yo!

[EVANESCA]

✿ TO THE FADING WORLD ✿

Yup! She got it and it was red, just like the one she already had. Twins? She wondered what kind of things would hatch from these, as she let out an amused chuckle. With a plop, she slipped out of the tree like a slide, landing on her feet. Remembering how Maaren had toppled under her, the girl jogged back to him. ''Sorry sorry! I saw an egg and I couldn't resist, I had to snatch it before that bird broke it!'' she exclaimed, giving an apologetic smile to the poor dear. He was probably either confused, or had nerves of steel, the ARC Unit decided, as she tapped her chin, and then made a weird symbol in the air. With a plop, the girl giggled her chest and the eggs, to make sure they were all fine, before she leaned on the male's shoulder.

''Sorry dear, seems I scampered off pretty right rude right? Lemme borrow your shoulder for a second, it's like these eggs are toxic to my usual relaxing policy don'tcha know.'' she said, giving a soft sigh. Her voice was less energetic now, as the lethargic nature that she always encouraged now caught up to her. She made sure that he was going to be the satellite to her lazy head laying, so even if he moved, she would keep peace and keep her head on his shoulder. It was probably difficult, but then again, Evanesca put a lot of efforts into being lazy as all hell so maybe she wasn't so lazy?

Most people would give up at that point but the laziness fostered was a laziness that became lazy through hard work and time and thus was not actually laziness but hard work. Hard concept to wrap around one's head, but the girl knew, as she slid off again, that this was not exactly laziness, but hard work to be pretend to be lazy. It was a complicated measure of guarding one's self perhaps, or it was just an effort to remain a way that was less productive in this world. The girl gave a sigh and scratched her head, as she just lazily rolled around the male's eggs. After a minute of rolling them, she stopped, and then just gave him a smile.

''Hey. What's your name? I gave you mine a bit back. Kinda would like to give you a name other then you or kid, or what not.'' she said, completely unaware of the other woman and the other person that was going to presence themselves in this thread within the next century. Hell, she didn't even realized they were there, as she had been flying and busily being lazy when both of them had moments to shine, so maybe she could meet them soon right? Right. So she wasn't too worried if there were other people. Well rather, that there were. Because laziness with hard work was not laziness but a sub branch of laziness called avoiding responsibility and perhaps it was just being a rushy junkie for the moments of scrambling or something.

Hey look, an egg, and she picked it up and put it in her bosom, because she very nearly missed it, until the branch she was toying with whilst she was about ten miles deep in thought almost whipped her in the face. Yes, that ran on a mite didn't it. Oh well, she didn't mind these rambly thoughts. They were fun. Like these eggs.

XOXO SHIN OF GS + THQ

[pantsgrey]

Evanesca hath discovered a Green Egg. Sweet snag!

[Onork]

Onork felt as though he had been walking through the forest for hours, yet didn't seem to be getting anywhere. In fact, he wasn't getting anywhere. He had passed that same exact tree approximately 27 times, which didn't make any sense to him. He could have sworn he had been walking in a straight line, in fact, he was positive of that fact. This was getting very annoying for him, but he did have one thing to comfort him: that egg he had found. It meant that there was an egg hunt going on, which meant this was an opportunity to beat his previous record! He just needed to find two more eggs within the next hour, and he would have those coveted good feelings of self-accomplishment. If only he wasn't feeling so odd...

He glanced back and noticed that there was a woman following him. She seemed to be collecting eggs too, but did that make her a rival, or a friend. Onork hoped she would be his friend, he liked friends. He opened his mouth to speak to her when something bizarre happened.

He exploded. It was a contained explosion, and fortunately harmed no forms of life surrounding him. But it very much killed Onork himself.

Many paces back, the Onork of the present time whom we had been following up to this point had followed the tracks to a group of people who seemed to be collecting eggs. If they were collecting eggs, that meant there were more nearby, and he could fivetuple his record! But the footprints seemed to go on past these people, and he was beginning to notice they looked a lot like his own footprints. Onork was about to ask if they knew this mysterious other person when he heard an explosion up ahead. An egg came hurtling from the source of the explosion and hit Onork in the face, knocking him to the ground. The egg bounced into the air and landed on Onork, and he quickly shoved it in his pocket.

He hoped the owner of these mysterious footprints was alright.

[Chamomile]

Onork has discovered a (dreadful) Green Egg!

[Daja]

Daja continued ahead, a little farther away from the two new friends. Ah, friendship. Speaking of friendship, Daja felt that she was was nearing the end of the trail--whatever happened to be there.

Speaking of which, did Daja spy something up ahead? Yes! Hiding in one of the (surprisingly deeply worn footprints) was a red egg. Hustling forward, Daja bent to scoop up the egg. Ooh! A red one. She'd already discovered a plain one and a green one, therefore the red one must be better. She nodded and plopped it into her basket.

She glanced up, noticing a small man. Obviously, the man who was leaving the footprints. Don't worry! Daja was most definitely a friend. She gave the man a friendly little wave and--HOLY SHIT, EXPLOSION. Daja jumped up, fumbling around not sure if she should run forward to help him or run away in case the explosions were contagious.

The egg the young man had been holding was sent flying from the force of the explosion. Daja dived towards it, attempting to grab at the egg. She missed miserably and was sent crashing into the ground. She gasped and rolled slightly, the wind being knocked out of her. After a moment, she popped up, her head snapping to the incinerated Onork. She darted towards him, and kicked the smoking remains of the body. To make sure it was dead, of course, and to make sure that all the explosions had left the body. We're learning more and more things about explosions every day after all. She fumbled around for a second before pulling another (slightly scorched) egg off the Dead Onork's body. She held it up, looking around, before throwing it into her own basket--to... to return it to his next of kin, of course. Who'd steal an egg from a dead kid's body?

Assuming that all of the explosions were out of Onork's body, she'd take off again-this time running in the opposite direction on the footprints. Apparently, there were some sort of explosive materials down that way, and Daja was clearly not ready to handle that.

[pantsgrey]

Daja hath discovered a Red Egg. That's pretty hot.

[Onork]

Onork rose from his prone position, his head somewhat achey. He patted his head to make sure the hat was still on. The last thing he wanted to do was scare away potential new friends with his face before he could explain his face. Then again, they might get scared away by the explosion. That was always a possibility. Explosions are scary. Onork had seen himself die a few times by explosion, and it was always scary. Not because Onork felt that he was in danger by being near an exploding version of himself. No, the space-time continuum was very good about minimalising collateral damage when disposing of spare Onorks, though seeing explosions that left practically everything around it unharmed was somewhat unnerving in a different way. No, explosions were just big and sudden, and all around alarming.

The two mages nearby didn't seem to be running away though, which was a good sign for Onork. If they were brave enough to handle being in the general vicinity of an explosion, then maybe they wouldn't be too weirded out by Onork's time shenanigans. However, Onork did notice that there was a third person approaching the area, seemingly running away from the explosion that had just occurred. This was understandable, and didn't make her any less brave than the other two. She had been closer to the explosion, so it was probably a bit more unnerving from her perspective. Whatever the case, this was another potential friend Onork could friend with and do friend things...like a friend!

"Hello, guys!" Onork said, hoping he would get the attention of the three of them, especially the running one, since she might keep going if Onork didn't stop her. "How goes the egg hunt, I guess?" Wow Onork, real smooth. What a line to make friends with. Way to sound presumptuous. You just walk in there and ask about the egg hunt? What's wrong with you? You're in a Dark Forest! Maybe their families just got eaten by some monster and you're all like "Hurr durr, how's dem eggs?" She just saw something blow up! And you're thinking about eggs? Even if that didn't happen, just walking in and asking about eggs without properly introducing yourself? Really? Way to sound creepy. Why is the egg hunt so important to you anyway? Gonna brag about fivetupling your record to them? Fivetuple isn't even a word you idiot. Gosh, there are so many things wrong with you, I can't even- Hey look, another egg!

Onork spotted an egg and shoved it in his pocket, completely forgetting that entire tirade against himself.

"I've almost fivetupled my record!" Onork said with pride.

[Chamomile]

Onork has discovered a Plain Egg...oh well.[/centeer]
