The Painted Egg
Prompt 1
Solo or RP Format
Counts as 5 RP growth Points
Solo word minimum is 750, RP post minimum is 7
Spring has arrived in Tendaji; in most places flowers were blooming while others might only see a slight temperature increase. The weather was nice so you decide to take a stroll. As you leave town and enter a small clearing, you notice strange colorful dots all throughout the grass.
"Oh stop right there!"
Freezing, you stop with your foot hovering just a breath above the grass and then as you slowly take one step backwards you notice that something colorful had been nestled against the ground. What was this? A Gaein girl comes forward and offers a big smile, "Thank you for stopping! You nearly crushed the egg." From there she explains that the whole field is full of colorful eggs that she had spread out for the villagers to find. Apparently in Belrea this time of year is a time for festivities and one of their most popular games is finding brightly dyed eggs that children create with their parents who later hide them away. As a member of the Academy she had been granted permission to come and share this knowledge with those in Tendaji and so offers to allow you to play with those already shifting through the wide expanse of fields.
[ Roll a 1d20 to determine what happens during your hunt!]
1. You are reaching out for an egg when it suddenly floats away! What in the? But then you notice wings behind it. A sprite is trying to steal your egg away!
2. You find a total of 8, totally normal, painted eggs!
3. You pick up what appears to be an egg but doesn't have the same weight a normal egg should have and you notice a line down the center. As you pull the two halves apart, a strange vial [an eye of the goddess] falls out!
4. You find a total of 2, totally normal, painted eggs!
5. You pick up an egg but later begin to smell something foul coming from your bag, it seems that you picked up a rotten egg!
6. You feel a bit competitive and run around as fast as you can to collect every egg, too bad a little boy just left with a basket full!
7. Oh no, watch your step! You accidentally step on and break an egg!
8. You find a total of 10, totally normal, painted eggs!
9. You find an extra large egg hidden in some tall grass. Later, it hatches into a Xaraan!
10. You're a little late to the party, all the younglings have already gathered all the eggs before you even got a chance, how sad!
11. You find a total of 5, totally normal, painted eggs!.
12. You hear a quiet scratching noise coming from a slightly larger painted egg you just picked up. It later hatches into a Sailscale!
13. You find a total of 1, totally normal, painted egg!
14. As you're walking, you hear a strange noise coming from the bushes. A keldari pops out at you! Whether you get startled or just shoo it away, a few eggs fall out of your basket and crack as they hit the ground.
15. You find a total of 3, totally normal, painted eggs!
16. You're walking towards a particular egg when you feel something beneath your foot as you take a step. Whew! Close call, you move your foot and the egg remains unharmed and you add it to your basket!
17. You find a total of 15, totally normal, painted eggs!
18. You feel your basket start to wiggle a bit and then hear giggling. As you look down, you see a youngling taking your eggs! They make off with 4 of your eggs before you have a chance to stop them!
19. You find an unpainted egg. Figuring it's not a part of the egg hunt, you leave it alone and continue on.
20. It seems that something is weird about one of the eggs you've picked up. As you stare at it the egg begins to wobble and even glows from the inside?! It later hatches into a Sitara! |

"Oh stop right there!"
Dris'rynne made a passive half-turn to the voice, arching her brows as she looked at the speaker. It was early enough in the day for foreigners to be milling about, though those of the shifter community generally thrived at all hours. Case in point, her children were firmly tucked away, but groceries needed to be purchased so she was making her way through the market, dried goods and fruits nestled in a little basket slung over her arm.
Dris'rynne casually held her basket tighter before taking a hairs breath of a movement back, effectively quelling whatever panic the speaker had been in. What was all the fuss about? Some kind of...greenish haired girl? Talking about eggs...? Dris'rynne's scowl deepened, but she turned, never the less to look at the display.
A vast array of colored eggs had been set out for the villagers to find among the tendrils and darkness of Jauhar's forest floor. Not the best spot for them, in her opinion, but at last the Belrean had gone out of her way to find the spot with the best light. The trees were thinner here, allowing just enough sunlight to filter down through the branches to make the...eggs visible.
She seemed beyond excited to share the tradition with Dris'rynne and the others, but...Dris'rynne still wasn't buying it. This seemed utterly pointless and stupid; exciting, maybe, for a youngling, but she wondered if her boys would ever care to play.

While the windling seemed more than happy to participate, Dris'rynne remained...unimpressed. Her remaining eye narrowed, looking over the eggs as if they would suddenly start to stink and mildew in the jungle heat. Surely the Belrean knew the pitfalls of having such an activity in the middle of such a moist, humid area? And yet...here they were, regardless of logic.
Looking back to the wind woman, however, made Dris'rynne wonder what had happened to races sticking to their own lands. If everyone stayed home a little longer then she wouldn't be scrounging around for eggs as an adult with another adult when she should have been at home helping to prepare a meal for her kids.
"I doubt she would let me leave anyway." Not without a fight, anyway, or a ruckus. So Dris'rynne squared her shoulders and started towards a patch of eggs, "Don't you think it's a little...odd, that we're doing this? It's a game for children." |

"And you think someone reigned me in? Just because I have kids?" Dris'rynne snorted. She moved through the patchy, jungle floor towards a greenish egg. The shifter could just make it out among the bio-luminescent fungi and if she could manage to snatch it up before some kid...."I had my kids on my own terms, and I might be married now, but you'd best believe my husband only has a hold on me because I let him."
She'd had her girls young in life; too young, really, but Dris'rynne never let that deter her. She'd married a man with a daughter on the way by another woman, and didn't see any issue with it. Her family was blended as all get out, but they were hers, all the same. And if her kids ever wanted to participate in something like this then...well, at least it would get them out of her hair.
She was so focused on going after the green egg that Dris'rynne nearly stepped on another. The shifter halted mid-step, foot hovering over an egg she'd barely felt under her foot. Dris had sucked up a fast, surprised inhale before carefully picking her toes up and looking down.
"Oh thank the goddess." |
