[EVENT] Egg.

Congratulations! You're now the proud owner (or parent?) of an egg.

All residents of the Velvet Room will find an egg next to them when they wake up today, or, if they don't sleep, they'll blink or look away and find it sitting beside them. A simple card rests beside it, bearing their name in elegant calligraphy.

The egg is about the size and shape of a goose egg, but colored a pale, sparkling blue reminiscent of the Velvet Room's butterflies. It weighs less than you might expect, but it's warm, and now and then you feel something move inside it... or is that just your imagination? You don't need to carry it with you everywhere, but if you try to abandon it entirely, it'll return to your home to wait for you again. It's completely indestructible and impossible to crack.

Igor and the attendants of the Velvet Room refuse to answer questions about the egg plague, or even give cryptic hints. The most they'll do is talk about how much of a mystery the world can be. The attendants seem pretty pleased about something, though...



After a day of being perplexing, alarming, endearing, amusing, or whatever other reaction they might inspire, the eggs finally crack at the stroke of midnight. Their broken shells turn to glimmering blue light and vanish, revealing...

...an orb of your character, in the style of Gorbs and Jokorbs, or any other orb you've seen on TV. This one, though, is a normal orb size (small enough to fit easily in the palm of your hand) and exhibits no signs of life or sentience. It's nothing more than a little round plushie that looks like you. Unlike the egg, it can be destroyed or abandoned, but how could you do such a thing? Look at its little face.


[[ Happy April Fools' Day! Enjoy this small event gifted to your characters, or inflicted upon them, by powers unknown. Definitely not by Igor, and especially not because a certain one of his attendants thought of it. ]]

lakebrat: (smug)

[personal profile] lakebrat 2025-04-01 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I didn't want to be the first to say it.

[Heavens to Murgatroyd.]

u could at least be a good bird
lakebrat: (smirk)

[personal profile] lakebrat 2025-04-02 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
That would be difficult, since I'm almost the only one of me who's not a bird.

Which means this is entirely the wrong kind of egg.

You don't like the image?

Better a flow than a single large egg, I suspect.

[personal profile] lakebrat 2025-04-02 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
It's true Theodore seems to have had quite the flow.

Perhaps I should have known better than to traumatise you further.


[Still playing along.]

lakebrat: (neutral)

[personal profile] lakebrat 2025-04-02 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
How *did* you come to see it, anyway? I didn't know you had regular access to Theodore's ablutions.
willowandoak: (05)

[personal profile] willowandoak 2025-04-02 02:41 am (UTC)(link)

lakebrat: ([cut-in] shock)

[personal profile] lakebrat 2025-04-02 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
He was doing it in the Velvet Room?

You mean... right there on Igor's desk?

But you can't lay eggs through clothing.

Were there ... parts?

Was Igor *there*?


[Hitting send, he buries his face in his folded arms on Leblanc's counter, barely missing his egg.]

[ In truth, Ren feels warm and buoyant. He grins down at his phone. ]
lakebrat: (smile)

[personal profile] lakebrat 2025-04-02 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
Don't "babe" me. You were a participant in Theodore and Igor's House of Egg Fun.

[He wonders how far he can push it before Ren comes over to complain.]

[personal profile] lakebrat 2025-04-03 12:40 am (UTC)(link)

You're right.

I'd have had to confirm what I was seeing. A prisoner in the Egg House.

We definitely need that to catch on.

Although it does make us all eggs.
