April Spirit Realm Log
April Spirit Realm Event Log
Dominant Element: Earth
Waning Element: Water
Full Moon: April 11th - 13th
※
Spring is in full bloom in the city of Kaisou as it moves into April. The weather is warm and pleasant, while the plants are coming into full bloom. It's easy this month to find a day with ideal weather conditions to enjoy the outdoors, and at night you'll get to see the Spirit Vein be in hues of orange, gold and green with the Earth element into full effect.
The Guardian of HopeALERT: SPIRIT REALM GATE DETECTED IN CATHEDRAL HILL
Element Classification: Earth
Danger Level: Medium
Designation: Easter
Zodiac has detected a Spirit Gate at Cathedral Hill. We have been reached out to by a resident of the gate for a request of assistance concerning a complex matter. Please visit the Zodiac offices for more information.
The Zodiac Offices are a flurry of activity when you step inside. The Professor (Barbie)excitedly tells you that the Easter Bunny is here and requesting your help. Perhaps if you're still relatively new to all of this, this might be a surprise to you, but if you've been here long enough, you have come to accept that some mythical holiday figures just exist and it's best not to think about it too hard. And so follow the Zodiac employees to meet the mythical bringer of Easter.
Chances are, you were expecting a cute little bunny rabbit with a wicker basket when you first thought "Easter Bunny" and while he does have a wicker basket, the rest is probably way off what you expected. Standing before you is a six-foot-tall bipedal rabbit, with markings on his fur like tribal tattoos. You probably weren't expecting the boomerangs strapped to his back or the deep, gruff Australian accent either, but there you go. He introduces himself as E. Aster Bunnymund, and that he's having some trouble with someone disrupting his Easter egg production. He mentions that "North" said you'd been a help to him more than once during Christmas time, and he figured you might be the people up to the job to help him. He does note that unlike "that excitable lunatic" he doesn't have a production line of yetis and elves to help him out and he's against a pretty steep deadline, so he won't be fighting you. He doesn't need the ego boost like some people do. Does... does the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus have a friendly rivalry going on? It sure sounds like that. Speaking of, for those with a high level of magic detection (3 points or higher), you'll find despite being a figure linked to an Abrahamic holiday, Bunnymund does not have the same energy signature as Santa (or Shroud, for that matter). That's weird. His magic signature is pretty powerful, though- but it's very unique.
Bunnymund explains that Easter isn't just about finding eggs- he is the "Guardian of Hope" and along with this eggs he brings Spring and hope for the coming year for everyone- though especially "little ankle-biters". The problem is, someone has been disrupting his egg production, and the eggs he has managed to hide thus far have been corrupted. He has a good idea who's done it - Pitch Black has caused him trouble before, after all, spreading fear where there should be hope. Bunny requests they have a two-pronged attack on this issue. He'll need some people to go around Kaisou, hiding fresh eggs and fining and removing the corrupted ones. He'll also need people to come with him to his own realm, to help with egg production and prevent any further corruption from happening there. Should you choose to help with the eggs, he will give you a wicker basket of Easter eggs, and send you off on your way. For those who want to help at his realm, he'll tell you that you can enter one of two ways. You can go through the portal in Cathedral Hill, or if you want to save time and come with him right now, you can come "his way". His way turns out to be a rabbit hole portal he creates by tapping his foot on the ground. Should you go this way, you'll slide down through the dirt at breakneck speeds, before appearing on the other side. It's not exactly dangerous, but it's not for the faint of heart, either.
Egg HuntIf you decide to help out in the city, you'll be given a colorful easter basket that's filled to the brim with eggs that have been colorfully decorated. It's up to you to hide these eggs in spots for people to find. Hide them anywhere you like in the city. Use your best hide and seek strategy as you plan good places to hide the eggs. Should you try to slack off and not do a good job with hiding them, the eggs will appear right back in the basket and you'll be expected to try again.
Along the way, you might get interrupted by the kitsune from Blue Fish Park. They're wearing fake bunny ears and have their own plastic easter baskets. They insist, while constantly glancing at your egg basket with hungry looks, that they're working for the Easter Bunny! They want to help you out, and thus you should definitely give them your eggs they can put them in places no one would think to hide them! Should you be foolish enough to believe their story, they will proceed to.... run off and eat the eggs, and the Easter Bunny will show up from one of his tunnels and give you an annoyed "seriously mate?" as he hands you another filled easter basket to work on.
Finally, while most of the eggs are normal variations you'd expect to find with Easter Eggs (some real eggs, some chocolate, some fake with treats inside), occasionally you'll find an egg that's different from the rest. These eggs will be hollow, and decorated more elaborately than the other eggs. Not just more elaborately, but the paint job will seem to be stylized to represent another person in the city. Sometimes it's obvious who it is, as it'll be painted a mural depicting them in a happy memory. Other times it'll be more abstract, making it harder to tell. But as you hold these special eggs in your hands, you'll hear a voice that whispers out the hopes and dreams of the person this egg is meant for.
These are Hope Eggs, and they're the most precious of all. Should you receive one for another person, it's up to you to hide it in a place where the intended person will be able to find it. And should you find your own hope egg, holding it will give you a renewed warm sense of hope towards whatever it is you're striving for.
[Mod Note: Please get player permission before getting another player's hope egg!]
Nightmare EggsIt's not enough to just hide the eggs from the Easter Bunny. There's still the misfortune eggs out there, that are lying in wait to cause problems to unsuspecting victims. In between finding good hiding places for the other eggs, keep an eye peel for any eggs that give you a bad vibe or don't seem quite right. These misfortune chocolate eggs will need to be collected if we want Easter to go smoothly.
Not only that, but it seems there's been a level up in the evil egg industry. Once and awhile, you'll come across an egg that is more elaborately painted to represent someone in the city. However unlike the Hope Eggs that depict positive things, these eggs are decorated much more sinister and seem to represent various fears of the person the egg is intended for. These are Nightmare Eggs, a new creation by the bogeyman. Holding one in your hand will reveal the fears of the egg that the person is meant for, depicted by alarmingly vivid illusions. If the fear is particularly strong, it may even lure in a Nightmare Horse - a monster made of corrupted dream sand that is attracted to fears. While the illusions are fake, the Nightmare Horses are very much real and can provide a real threat.
Unfortunately, Nightmare Eggs can't be destroyed by another person. The only way to diffuse their power is to bring them to the person the egg is meant for. It's only by helping that person face that fear will the Nightmare Egg's power diminish. Afterwards, holding the egg will only give you a sense of unease and whisper out the fears of the intended person. The intended person can choose to destroy the egg, or keep it- you know, if they got some masochistic reason to do so.
[Mod Note: Like with the hope eggs, please get player permission before getting another player's nightmare egg!]
The WarrenFor those who chose to help the Easter Bunny in his own realm, you're in for a treat. Whichever portal you chose to use, you will find yourself in a lush forested area. It's very peaceful and beautiful, flowers of all colours grow around the natural pathways, and it's continually sunny. Bunnymund welcomes you to "The Warren", where he lives and makes his eggs. You will find tunnels leading to every continent on the planet. These are guarded by huge egg-shaped stone golems. Their heads turn to show their changing moods, from happy, to frightened, to angry- dependent on what is going near them.
And so, you get to the important job of egg production. Eggs with little eggs grow from various flowers around The Warren. For those who have been in Kaisou for Easters past, you might recognize these little guys! Bunny affectionately calls them his "Googies" and explains he needs you to help him decorate and herd them to the tunnels. Decorating them is as simple as leading them through flowers and the pink river running through the realm, this paints them various colors. Bunnymund hands you a paintbrush in case you want to have more elaborate markings on them- he encourages you to be creative as possible.
You might be tempted to eat one of the eggs you're herding, they're right here after all and there's so many of them! That. turns out to be a bad idea, because either one of the stone golems will find you, or worse, Bunnymund himself. Eating the eggs will have you immediately turfed out through the nearest portal - and if that portal doesn't happen to land in Kaisou and is instead on the other side of the planet? Well, that's a You Problem. You'll have to figure out a way home yourself. Don't steal from the Easter Bunny! If you're good and help out, soon there will be plenty of eggs ready to be distributed all over the world! Bunnymund thanks you for the help, and set to getting those eggs hidden for children to find.
Fear ItselfSaving Easter seems to be going smoothly, thanks to the efforts of the Libra app users. But you aren't out of the woods yet! On the night before Easter, a pair of intruders will break into the Warren - the ones behind this whole mess. Their presence alone darkens the colorful warren, with Nightmare Horses arriving behind them.
One of them is a tall, gaunt man in black - Pitch Black, or the Bogeyman himself as most people know him as. With a malicious sneer and a silky smooth voice, he'll begin speaking about how he's back to take back what's rightfully his- to destroy hope and make people fear once more---
Except his great speech is interrupted by the other intruder, a large yellow rabbit in blue overalls named Zipper. It's the same rabbit that a few people have been insisting they've seen, only now everyone can see him. He jumps in front of the bogeyman and points accusingly at the Easter Bunny, yelling that he's destroying Easter because the Easter Bunny destroyed his life first. He then goes into a tragic backstory how he used to be a human named Brian, but one day after getting caught in a misunderstanding that wasn't HIS fault, a cloaked figure with rabbit ears appeared and cursed him to be a rabbit! Since that terrible day, he's spent his life wandering the world- ostracized due to his rabbit form and being constantly mistaken for the Easter Bunny. And because of all that, he's finally had enough and has teamed up the Bogeyman, convinced that if he destroys Easter, he'll return to his true form.
The Easter Bunny responds by.... appearing as dumbfounded as the rest of you. Instead of the horrifying realization that Zipper is hoping for, the Easter Bunny instead appears genuinely confused by all this. He's never met this guy in his life, he insists. And why would he turn anyone into a rabbit? It seems whoever is responsible for Zipper's fate? Wasn't the Easter Bunny, but another rabbit.
Zipper, after years of building resentment towards Easter, takes this about as well as you'd expect. Before Pitch (who also looks stunned) can get in a single word in, Zipper gets riled up and accuses the Easter Bunny of lying. He then goes on the attack, lunging at anything near him- whether it be a person or an easter egg. The Nightmares horses also respond to this sudden aggressive, deciding to begin their own assault on the Warren. It'll be up to the Libra App users to fight off the Nightmares, as well as help subdue the raging Zipper T. Bunny. Powered by madness and fear, he hits surprisingly hard and cane take quite a beating. Sometimes he'll even throw out Nightmare Eggs at people, causing them to get stunned by their own nightmares.
However, with teamwork and bravery, eventually the Nightmares will be defeated and Zipper will flop over on the ground, defeated.
The TruthEven though his companion and his Nightmares are defeated, Pitch isn't ready to give up just yet. He steps forward menacingly, ready to start a round two of his monologue. But before he could get another sentence out, he's interrupted, again, but another intruder coming into the Warren. Everyone will turn to see a hooded figure with bunny ears- just like the one that Zipper described. She'll pull down her hood, revealing herself as a female anthropomorphic rabbit- a very irritated one at that.
"Seriously Brian?! THIS is your plan to break the curse?!? Did you not listen to a word I said??"
The female rabbit then launches into her own exposition. Apparently she was an immortal sorceress that'd been tasked with trying to get Brian's family line to better themselves. Unfortunately, every normal method of encouraging self-improvement never seemed to work. And so, she decided to take a page out of the fae's book and curse members of that family to become rabbits if they did terrible things. As for Zipper's case? Yeah those "misunderstandings" he touted were actually a long laundry list of scams and asshole moves that he definitely did. Thus, the curse took effect.
However, Bianca insists, unlike the Fae there is a cure to this curse. But it's not destroying Easter, it's actually becoming a better person- something she has explained to Zipper before. "Just be less of a jerk, and you'll turn back into a human!" she says before she storms off, running out of the Warren.
But if she was hoping Zipper would learn from this.... she'll be sorely mistaken. As Zipper gets up, having not heard a word she said, and instead focusing on the fact that's definitely the rabbit the cursed him. When she runs off, he yells for her to come back here, and proceeds to run after her- both of them heading off to who knows where, but completely ditching the plan to destroy Easter.
As for the rest of you.... you're left with answers to questions you never really wanted answered. Pitch, reaching true frustration at the situation, gives up- muttering that this is why he hates rabbits before he disappears in a puff of black smoke. Seems he'll have to try to spread fears another day.
Easter...saved?
With the attack on Easter halted, the rest of the holiday will go on as expected. Children will delight in hunting for Easter eggs, families will gather and share a delicious meal, and there will be a sense of hope and new beginnings in the air. Bunnymund will be grateful for your help, even if he seems overly agitaed that his holiday was interrupted in the first place (it's CHRISTMAS that always needs saving, not Easter).
And now that the trouble is done... he still doesn't seem interested in fighting you. Damn. That said, if you're really hellbent on picking a fight with the Easter Bunny, you can. Just annoy him enough, and eventually you'll win his aggro. Unfortunately.... he hits nearly as strong as Santa, and unlike the jolly big guy? He will not stop until you're about an inch away from death and in need of medical care. Rabbits, man. But really, you brought it on yourself.
But, assuming you avoided a bunny-induced trip to the hospital - enjoy the rest of the month!
The dominant element this month is Earth! Anyone with an affinity to the earth element will find themselves boosted throughout the month. This could mean a boost to their power, having more energy, feeling more inspired with creativity, having better luck on different attempts -- the boost can manifest in all sorts of different ways. By contrast, anyone with an affinity for Water will be experiencing the opposite. Perhaps their powers will be weaker, they have less energy, they're having a creative block or general worse luck - again it can manifest in all sorts of way and players are free to play with this mechanic as they'd like.
The original OOC plotting post for this event can be found here.
Jun Nightroad | Tokyo Xanadu | OTA
[Well. That was a lot of plot twists all at once. Shroud had agreed to help out with the Warren, since this is an important holiday for the Lord, but between the Easter Bunny's energy readings being off, the giant egg golems, the walking eggs, and then the whole... Zipper thing? Shroud has taken to standing in the background silently.
Perhaps you came to him, hoping to get some clarification about these Easter revelations and what they have to do with Jesus, but as you approach... you hear Shroud utter one sentence]
I don't know what's happening either.
[WELP]
II. Wildcard (EGGS)
[Got another prompt for Jun? Come at him here! Feel free to have your character find his Hope or Nightmare eggs. The hope one will about his loved ones surviving and thriving, traveling the world, and his future with his fiance. Meanwhile the nightmare one will involve hurting his loved ones, losing them, and stuff about his past which will probably lead to content warnings]
JAX | The Amazing Digital Circus | OTA
[Jax would honestly rather be anywhere else but here right now. Normally when Easter hits, he sequesters himself in his apartment where he can ignore everyone and not have to deal with six hundred rabbit jokes every day. But noooooooooooo Zodiac just had to get involved and now he's been given a basket full of eggs to hide around the city. His first try of this is to just... empty the entire basket onto the ground. ]
There. The eggs are super hidden. Job done.
[Job not done, the basket immediately fills up again, Bunnymund isn't messing around, not even for a guy who is technically another rabbit. Jax makes a frustrated noise.]
You're kidding me!
[The rest of the day, Jax can be found trying various means to avoid doing this work as much as possible. He tries to abandon the basket, only for it to find its way back to his hand. Full on yeeting it seems to have the same effect. At one point he hands the entire basket to one child, telling them to "enjoy the sugar rush" - but immediately after, a new basket appears in his hands. Eventually, you may find him lying on the ground in blue fish park, basket next to him, arms outstretched while a nearby child asks you worriedly if the easter bunny is okay. ]
I hate everything about this, it won't stop.
[ Because clearly he is willing to try everything other than actually participating properly. ]
The Warren/The Truth
[Jax had been watching the goth loser's monologue with unabashed boredom, leaning on a rock and yawning pointedly. The whole too good for this act comes to a sputtering halt when Zipper shows up and starts yelling at Bunnymund. He watches in confusion, looking between the two. ]
...Uncle Brian? I thought you'd emigrated to the Bahamas.
[ And then, then Bianca shows up and starts talking about The Curse, Jax very carefully and very slowly starts to back away into the nearest bush. He can't hide that well, what with the giant purple bunny ears and all, but he's gone. You can't see him. He's invisible. Or dead. Whichever one that means he can avoid talking about any of this. ]

Scintilla Caminus | FF14 (WoL OC)
[Uh-huh, uh-huh--Scintilla listened semi-attentively to what was (to her) an average Hatchingtide mission. And...of course she jumped straight through the rabbit hole portal a little too readily, coming out on the other side a little more dirty for the method, but laughing and stumbling a little dizzily.]
Shite, let's do that again, that was great-
[Never mind that, we have a job to do. Scintilla could be found all over the city, between 'full-body buried in hedges' to 'up a tree' to full-on climbing Zhongli's statue to balance one on his head.]
[The Warrior of Light half-asses no sidequests.]
[ii; nightmare eggs]
[Maybe you come across an egg that's a little less...vibrant. A little too red than most, more like dried and cracked blood than a bright scarlet dye--and with a sigil painted in tarnished gold. Carry it for a little too long and you might start hearing...well, nothing. The complete absence of sound presses on your ears as a wasteland flickers before your vision. The next second it's gone, reality fading back in with no ill effect.]
[...Better figure out whose it is, before that gets much worse.]
[iii; wildcard]
[whatever! i'm cool with whoever finding her egg, but i'm also down for anything in general]
papaya paya paya pa-paya
Sure, Diarmuid would insist he could simply carry his partner up them and his flushed face was endlessly endearing but remembering convenient paths was ultimately the better option.
Trickier, more scenic paths were Diarmuid's preference, places where trees were abundant because climbing up them really took him back to some rare good times. It's upon climbing up one that he not only finds a colorful egg, but in the tree across from him he sees a woman that sort of looks like Rose, but not. He recalled her people were known as Miqo'te. So, it's with a wave holding the egg he found that he greeted her.]
It seems I've company among the trees today. Ho there, my Miqo'te friend.

Still, upon seeing the figure scaling the statue outside the mall, she couldn't help but pause and stare a bit in admiration.

Viktor | Arcane
...not that I hate my job, really I do not mind it all that much, but every so often we get roped into the strangest things-
[That absentminded remark was directed at the Golurk standing near a tree, and came from its trainer--a particularly slight Zodiac employee leaning on a crutch and standing on the massive Pokemon's hand as he reached into a joint between two branches to hide a couple of eggs.]
Four years or so, and I still do not quite grasp this world's holidays. You know how long it was before I understood rabbits in this world do not actually lay eggs?
[Blitzcrank made a rumbling sound in what was understood to be either acknowledgement or sympathy--notably, the massive Pokemon's other hand was busy gently shoving away some very persistent kitsune.]
I do not know why they bother assigning me fieldwork.
[ii; hope egg]
[It might be hard to miss a particularly brightly colored egg--azure and electric blue, painted as if it were faceted and shining. Hold it for a econd or two, and you start to feel a sense of warmth; the feeling of belonging, finding the place you were always meant to be. The longer you hold on to it, the more that belonging turns to something emboldening, as if you have finally discovered the means to accomplish everything you ever dreamed of.]
[In the course of looking for who this particular egg belongs to, eventually you hear a voice in the back of your head, full of optimism and ambition: I want Hextech to be a tool for us to build a new world, and now--it's finally possible.]
[iii; nightmare egg; cw: terminal illness]
[Another egg is just as easily spotted, but for very different reasons; painted in every color, an opaline webbing pattern that would be beautiful if it didn't somehow hurt to look at in the way of something too surreal to exist.]
[The illusions it puts forth are more abstract than visual or auditory nightmares--the longeer you hold it, the more everything hurts. Sharp pain begins to travel up your right leg and into your spine with every step, so severe it may become difficult to stand. Alongside it, even breathing starts to get difficult--you might start tasting blood, or simply find it difficult to catch your breath even at rest.]
[Through it all, a terrible creeping dread settles in like an unbearable weight; a bone-deep loneliness, the sheer mortal terror of being forgotten, and knowing there is nothing you can do to change the inevitable.]
[iv; wildcard]
[anything else around the city! i'm fine with anyone finding either egg, it's vibes.]

And also foxes.]
...Do you need a hand with that?

Ritsuka Fujimaru | Fate/Grand Order | open
As far as Ritsuka was concerned, this egg-hiding task was a cinch. All she had to do was hide some eggs around town, after all! So she did, sticking them, well, in any nook or cranny that caught her eye or fancy at the moment. Some of them probably in pretty hard to find locations at that.
"Think I should do more...?"
Just hopefully none of the real eggs were so well-hidden they won't be found until it's by smell.
[II. Unexpected Plot Twists]
Ritsuka had also taken some time to help out in the Warren, too, which meant being present for the showdown and the revelations preceding and following it. Which were, well, something, to say the least.
"Uh. What was that all about?"
For anyone who knew her like, at all, for Ritsuka of all people to be dumbfounded by it all was no small feat.
[III. This Egg Was Made For Me]
Perhaps, if you helped with hiding eggs around town, you happened across one meant for Ritsuka. Depending on your luck... Well, as with everyone, there were one of two possibilities:
A. Nightmares
Many of the illusions spun by Ritsuka's nightmares are frightful indeed. Losing her loved ones, destruction on a massive scale, desperately fighting back against impossible odds.
That, and if you're incredibly unlucky, an ear-shattering concert by a girl with horns and a dragon tail.
B. Hope
On the other hand, Ritsuka was nothing if not hopeful. Dreams of quiet times with friends and family, a wish for peaceful resolutions. Ordinary, mundane things, by and large, but somehow still highly treasured and full of warmth anyway.

Yasuho Hirose | JoJolion/Pokego | OTA
[Yasuho's honestly pretty relaxed now. She's back to her energetic self, thank you spring, there's no looming deadline of exams or someone dying... And the eggs even like singing? She had Paisley play a little music to help her focus on painting, so sue her. Nothing Weird is happening of course
she'd have to be underwater for that, but it is very cute to watch an aesthetically appropriate reindeer-thing humming and trotting with a herd of eggs behind her.Though, while the eggs are getting themselves done up, she can't help but purse her lips- even as a weird spring themed reindeer.]
Is... ...I'm not really sure about eating these anymore...
[They were moving about...]
[THE TRUTH]
[Silence.
Silence. And-]
....Should we...worry about the Boogeyman that teleported away just now..?
[It seems like something they might need to worry about!!]
Jonathan Joestar | Phantom Blood/Daybreak CRAU | OTA
[Jonathan is, just as much so as he was for Christmas, extremely excited about the idea of Easter and about helping the Easter Bunny. He takes to carrying his basket of eggs with great zeal, and for that matter will ramble to just about anyone willing to listen about everything he knows on the subject.
Or at least everything applicable to his world, anyway.] And you see it's quite fascinating that we in the English language call it easter, for you see, in just about every other language that refers to it it's called Pascha, which of course, refers to the Passover upon which the event Easter refers to in Christianity occurred- it's suspected that what happened was a borrowing...
[Jonathan admittedly trails off whenever that matter comes up, as he furrows his brows and thinks about everything he's come to learn about the history of the British and Museums.]
...oh dear would it be borrowing or something worse...well, it's suspected that the English term originates from the Anglo-Saxon goddess, Eostre-
[On the one hand he should probably stop talking. On the other, listening to him talk is really relaxing, one could fall asleep to this.
On the other other hand, oughtn't they be hiding eggs?]
[EGG HUNT - NIGHTMARE + HOPE PROMPTS AVAILABLE]
[Being capable of swapping between teeny tiny bat and decently large dinosaur-porcupine, Jonathan's doing a fairly good job at hiding eggs. In fact, the few times he dips back for more eggs- ('Blimey mate, real go-getter aintcha!')- he asks if it's possible for eggs to end up too well hidden.
Well in any case, perhaps he's got a Hope Egg for someone; that's going to get him properly nervous, trying to figure out where best to hide it. Hope no one notices the bat/dinosaur/giant grown man pacing around holding an egg basket in that case.
Or perhaps he's found a Nightmare Egg instead- which, of course, can only be beaten by whoever owns the egg but that's hardly going to stop Jonathan from trying, so there's a very good chance their intended will witness a blisteringly gold coated entity bashing itself against black sand. Yikes.
...Or maybe you have His Egg- Nightmare or Hope, even. Wonder what that's going to do.]
[AFTERMATH]
[Well, he fought a lot of sand monsters, and that was a whole Thing he witnessed, but at the end of the day as Jonathan holds his own haul of gifted easter eggs...
He sighs. He sighs, sitting there in the warren in any number of shapes he's accustomed to, and sighs again.]
...I do rather wish he was interested in a spar, though.
[Alas. There's just no helping the fight happy.
There's a bit of silence, for a few moments.
And then, after that pause-]
...Should I have been going to Mass all this time I wonder? I rather fell off the wagon after I perished.
Hermes | Stray Gods | ota
[Hermes takes to this new job like a swan to water. To use a terrible Greek mythology metaphor. They're thrilled.]
Can I take two? I'll get it done, man, don't even worry!
[And... true to their word, they're zooming around the city at an easy clip. They run everywhere they don't Doorway to, after all. Eggs are hidden everywhere. Anywhere they can find. Maybe you're getting your morning coffee, look away for a second, only to turn back around and see an egg sitting on top of your cup. Or maybe you're just reading the paper in the park, shift a bit, Bam! Egg sitting next to you.]
[Or maybe you're in your own living room, when a closet or pantry door glows golden. Hermes pokes their head out, and immediately looks sheepish.]
Oh! Whoops, sorry. This... was not where I was supposed to be.
[Point is, if you want an egg, the overeager God Of Messages, Doorways and apparently boundless energy, will deliver it.]
AFTERWARD
... What. Was that?
[They'd finished with their baskets, and come back in time to catch the end of that. Drama. Or whatever it was. And their expression looks a heck of a lot more confused than usual. They kind of glance around, uneasy.]
Is this because we were being weird about furries? 'Cause like... overreaction, much?
[Hermes, no.]
HOPE or NIGHTMARE EGGS
( happy to write something up if their CR would like one! )
Egg Hunt!
Oh right, he has a pantry.
Second thought, hey when did you get the- Oh right doors.
Noa, who's in his sphinx form and somehow managing to work on making bread while in that state, blinks.]
It wasn't, was it?
[Can doors glitch? That's probably a question to ask.] Just where were you supposed to go with those...
[Sniff. Sniff-]
...Are those eggs? They smell different.
no subject
[Granted, they are the one who barged into this house. They probably should have expected something weird on the other end. But - ]

I uh. Yeah. Yeah, eggs, man.

Jin Ling | MDZS
[For once in his life, Jin Ling's quiet. He's watching Bunnymund with some scrutiny, but he hasn't started a fight with anyone nor has he scoffed about painting the eggs being beneath his dignity. He does raise an eyebrow at the name "Googies," but beyond a quiet comment about it being such a weird name, he says nothing else.
The moment the Easter Bunny's gone out of earshot, he says, with the air of someone who is having an unwilling revelation:]
Shit, he's hot. I can't ever tell my uncles.
[His jiujiu would spare no pity and his Uncle Ying would laugh at him forever. The horror. He chews on his lower lip, turning slightly red, and then bends his head to start diligently painting a yellow peony on his egg.]
[two: the truth]
[In the midst of all these very shocking revelations about Zipper, the curse, and the rabbit sorceress, Jin Ling, sheathing a sword, says with bemusement to the nearest person:]
This? I put off the appointment with the admissions people for this? This is so dumb.

And is now hovering over your shoulder while you paint.]
Tell your uncles what?

Nothing! There's nothing to tell!

Yugo | Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V | OTA
All we gotta do is hide these eggs, right?
[Yugo can do that! And he takes to it quite eagerly, doing his best to hide those eggs!
Right now he's working his way through Blue Fish Park, planting eggs all throughout the place. Right now he's worming his way through some bushes, trying to place an egg underneath without scratching himself up.
(Yes, he's possessed and will heal from that just fine, but he'd still rather not get scratched up!)]
2. Egg Trickery
[At some point you can find Yugo sitting on a park bench with a basket of eggs beside him, looking visibly upset (though with what isn't clear). His spirit companion is on his shoulder, looking annoyed with him. What could have happened-]
If I ever see those kitsune again, I'll kick their asses.
[...Ah. He got tricked by the kitsune into giving up his eggs. And then had to be given a new basket.
(And just to add to the humiliation of getting tricked by the kitsune, a certain draconic demon decided to possess Yugo's spirit companion just to call his host an idiot. Thus why said companion is looking a bit annoyed right now.)]
3. Nightmare Egg
[At some point, you might come across a weird egg with like. Lime green highlights in a vaguely draconic design. This thing is radioactive green.
Holding it will give you the feeling of something else lurking nearby, waiting. Maybe the feeling that your body isn't your own. There isn't really much of a visual component to these illusions.]
Egg hiding!
[How Noa got here, he has no godly idea. One minute he was talking to Hermes in his kitchen, the next he was asking them where the eggs even came from and welp, welp.
Time to put these around.] From what I heard, we have to do it properly too~ So you better do it right, hnhnhn...
[Oh, did you assume 'here' was 'also holding a basket'. No, he dodged that. He will however, follow Yugo around in the form of a cat, to offer commentary.]
no subject
[He of course intends on doing this right!]
...There we go! [Yugo is now crawling back out from under the bushes, a few scratches across his face and a few twigs caught in his hair, but now one egg lighter.]
Kids are pretty small, they should be able to get to that.
