[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. ]]

After realizing it isn't likely, he reminds himself that he needs to put down warnings more frequently. So many things slipping through the cracks...
Perhaps they are just eggs. I may be getting a tad ahead of myself, making it into a larger dilemma.
He doesn't say it, but his memory is on his mind all the time and then he gets a random egg and he's forgotten Shakespeare and--
If I were to wager a guess, I would shift my focus to one of the attendants. Igor has plenty of questionable ideas, but this one has a particular feeling to it that doesn't match his other ideas overall.

[He's not sure where he gets the name from. He just knows it, from somewhere. Somehow.]
