[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. ]]

You don't like them? Myself, I'm starting to find them charming.

[Things he would never have said in the beforetimes... except is anyone still keeping count?]
vampirethief: (uncomfortable)

It's just awkward I guess.

It's like we're in social studies class, and being assigned by a partner to 'raise' an egg. Except my boyfriend isn't here, so it's just me.


[He's a little low-key jealous of Joker, Wild, and Raven for having their boyfriends/lovers here.]
pheasantboy: (shock)

[Sparrow has his own Ren here, of course. But that's best left unmentioned.]

Ah, so you wish you had someone to raise the egg with?

Is it so bad, to be a single parent?
vampirethief: (uhhhh)

[personal profile] vampirethief 2025-04-02 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Not really no.

I mean, I guess not? But I don't like that it was forced upon me.


[He knows being a single parent is tough, but he isn't single. It just feels wrong.]
pheasantboy: (tired)

[Why doesn't he like that? It makes him feel something. Fortunately, he forgets about it after a few moments.]

It will work out for the best. Things always do. And if the eggs do in fact hatch into children of some sort, at least they'll be very small.
vampirethief: (wary)

That's true. I guess I should look into guides on taking care of babies just in case.

[Considering how babies are not easy to take care of, especially alone. He just hopes if it does hatch, it won't be vampiric in nature.]
