video/action potential;

[oceantrauma]

[Ken looks a little perplexed and gravely serious, holding onto a white egg with pink hearts. He holds it firmly, possessively. If anyone tried to take it from him, they would face a side of Ken they likely haven't seen yet.]

I don't know where the eggs came from, but this one is mine. [He's far more certain about it than he was when he first saw a similar one in the Digital World.]

Do we need to do anything for them? Keep them warm? [Uncertainty for that part.]

You seem awfully attached to that egg, Ken-chan.

[ You don't even know what's in them. ]

[oceantrauma]

It...looks like my partner's egg. I don't think it's his. I hope it isn't his, but it could still be another of his type of monster.

[mortemscintilla]

[ His eyes widen, ] I see. [ A touch hesitantly, ] There's a chance that monster might be dangerous though.

1/2

[oceantrauma]

No, not those monsters. The ones I knew are friendly, and small. They can't, and wouldn't want to, do much harm, either.

But, well....

[oceantrauma]

I really doubt the City would bring those types of eggs here. I'm probably just being overly hopeful about it.

That one is yours? Oh, are you a bird? I know sometimes reptiles have eggs too, so maybe not...

[The four-foot raven with smoldering feathers looks a little proud and a little disdainful, if that's possible with a bird's face.]

Well, if you're a bird, I'd expect you to know how to take care of an egg! You have to build a sturdy nest and make sure to keep the egg warm. Turn it once or twice a day, so the same side isn't always facing the ground. Make sure that you're lying against it unless you really need to leave, and if you do, pile up something warm all the way around its sides. Don't let it fall, and lots of things eat eggs, so don't leave it alone for too long.

If you need help, I don't have a flock yet, and I should try to get one together. You can join if you want, but I'm the leader here. We shouldn't fight for positions until the eggs hatch and the chicks are flying, so deal with it.

[oceantrauma]

No! I'm not a bird. Or a reptile.

[He stares, almost overwhelmed.]

It's not like I laid it. But I found it, and since it reminds me of another egg, a special one, I want to keep it. But not letting it fall and keeping it safe from predators is good advice.

Re: video;

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

Oh!

You found it, like I found mine. Okay, that makes more sense, I guess.

[She approves of his dedication.]

I'm sure you'll take good care of it. Good luck! Let me see it when it hatches!

[oceantrauma]

I.... I'd like to see yours, too. If that's all right.

[Video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

I think... keep them warm, yeah. Where did you find it?

[Video]

[oceantrauma]

I found it outside. Not far from the house.

I'll wrap it in a blanket. I don't want to accidentally fry it, or boil it.

[Video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[ He chuckles. ]

I think it would take quite some skill to accidentally cook it in any way.

[Video]

[oceantrauma]

One friend suggested a heating lamp and styrofoam container to keep it outside in. This way it won't hatch inside, in case it's something unsavory.

action:

[charring]

[Charlie finds Ken, wherever he is, and she's holding her own egg. It's a smoky grey color, about the same size as his and she's holding it carefully.]

You okay?

[She saw that post, little man. She's worried about you.]

action:

[oceantrauma]

Yeah.... [He looks up at her, and gives a smile, but it's one of his trying to diffuse worry smiles. Still, unlike most people, he'll tell Charlie a bit more.]

Remember how I told you about Wormmon?

Re: action:

[charring]

[Try harder, kid. She knows you too well and simply raises an eyebrow at this, smiling softly.]

I do. This egg reminds you of him, I'm guessing?

[othersdie]

Are you sure you want to help it hatch?

[Nothing good can come from any of these eggs.]

[oceantrauma]

Yes, Justin-san. Why is everyone so wary of them?

[othersdie]

Because the City provided them.

[But Ken is clever. If he's intent on keep it...]

Be careful.

[lawbender]

When the City gives gifts, they're usually not good presents.

voice;

[oceantrauma]

But not all of the curses are bad.

This might turn out to not be bad, too. [He wants to believe in that, so strongly.]

voice;

[lawbender]

[ She can tell. She's not sure what baggage he has about the egg, but he definitely feels strongly about it. She'll try to be gentle. ]

Please, just take reasonable caution.

[pratful]

[ he's a little wary of strange foreign objects invading his home. He rather likes it as it is, thanks! ]

Attached already? Surely an egg is just an egg. [ or so he's rather hoping ]

[oceantrauma]

But this one looks like my friend's egg.

[pratful]

... and what exactly was inside it? [ that... actually sounds promising. At least it certainly makes him feel like this sudden outbreak of eggs may not be a bad thing. ]
