[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 might at least tell *me*.

[He is totally in on it.]
undyingcrow: (wtf)

Ren.

Not only am I not a literal bird, but I have male reproductive organs, ergo, I physically cannot produce eggs.

There's clearly something else afoot.

That didn't answer my question tho. Did you lay this egg??

Dove is holding his egg gently in his hands. Staring at it. Shocked and horrified, but also a little awestruck.

I found an egg in my bedroom this morning. I have found no indication of where it came from.

There is a small beat before another message gets sent shockingly quickly.

This isn't some concept Maruki erased from my memory, is it? This is entirely as surreal as it seems, correct?

He is silently begging for this to be another one of Igor or the attendants' silly ideas and not more psychological horror for him to sit with.
undyingcrow: (irritated)

[personal profile] undyingcrow 2025-04-01 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
No, Ren.

I did not lay an egg for the reasons I already outlined in my previous response.
cybermask: (serious)

[personal profile] cybermask 2025-04-01 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
bro I don't even have someone to make an egg with

I did not need an egg, that's not even.... it's too small.
moistpolitics: (complex emotions)

[personal profile] moistpolitics 2025-04-01 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
So I see we all have no idea where these eggs came from.

[personal profile] wicked_plan 2025-04-01 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Well you just had to say so instead of avoiding my question.

Suspicious.
fogbornphantom: (wtf)

Hiro is highly convinced he laid an egg.

He is doting over said egg. I'm not entirely sure what to make of this, but I have a strong suspicion it's Elizabeth's doing.

I advise caring for the egg because there's likely some moral lesson to learn here.

Another "bonding" exercise, I'm sure.

Thank fuck I didn't forget something--

He answers that without thinking first, but as he goes to write a proper response, he pauses... and quickly erases it before correcting himself.

Pray tell what you've deduced thus far?
lostgemini: (Unhappy)

[personal profile] lostgemini 2025-04-01 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
at least i'm not the only one, then. if this is meant to be a bonding exercise, it's a pretty shitty one

Kou can be found later in the day, trying to enjoy a smoke.

Trying being the keyword here. Mostly, he's angrily glaring at the opposite wall.

Next to him sits the sparkling, blue egg. He is very clearly trying to ignore it.

[Well uh this is certainly something. His egg certainly resembles himself, though the ears and fangs are painted on.]

Well played. You sure got us with these eggs.

[He doesn't even have anyone to make "eggs" with. He's sure if his Yusuke was here, he would be quite amused.]

[Shiho's not sure what to think of the weird egg that looks like herself. She doesn't have anyone to make "eggs" with, and she'd rather jump into a sewer than be with any boys.]

Isn't it early for that Easter holiday? Granted, I don't know much about it, but I do know that's a holiday that America celebrates.
