Egging Out
+ Description: You keep spotting painted eggs all around campus--just sitting here and there for decoration. No one seems to know anything about them, or where they came from--even members of the school’s staff. Their patterns are similar to Heart’s Eggs; maybe there’s a connection?

There were eggs everywhere.  She found them in her dorm, under desks, behind classrooms, on top of trees - wherever she went another egg appeared.  It was as though the entire school was visited by a horde of chickens overnight that decided that the school was the perfect place to nest. She couldn't turn around without spotting another one and the entire fiasco was starting to give her a headache.  She felt as though they were watching her every mood, the very thought of it driving her mad.

Finally, she grabbed a brightly colored one, sitting underneath the window of an empty classroom to study it.  They seemed to be normal eggs, almost identical to the lucky charm she had hidden away in her pockets.  If she didn't know any better she'd say they were the exact same, but the pattern varied on each.  Twisting it and turning it, she stared hard at the pattern.  "I'm onto you," she whispered, giving it another turn as if looking for some sort of button, "There's got to be some way to pop these things open..."

[Misa]

Misa concluded, that by the abundance of eggs hidden everywhere in the school, that someone definitely knew about the egg that she currently had in her possession. They were all uniquely different, patterns decorative the smooth shells as she lightly picked one up and brushed her finger over said pattern. She had found this little guy in a plant pot, placed safely in between the leaves. Her eyes narrowed in thought, really curious now about what was going on.

"What does this mean..." she mumbled, pausing in her steps as she noticed someone also examining one of the many eggs that were around the campus. Blinking curiously Misa was hesitant to reach out and catch her attention, so instead she pulled her hand away before tapping Miuna's shoulder and just stood behind her.

"Um, do you know about the eggs?" she asked, not really specifying if she was talking about the egg in her hands or the other egg that was safely tucked in her bag.

[Miuna]

Miuna was so focused on her quest to open the strange egg that she hadn't even heard the other girl walk up behind her. Feeling a sudden hand on her shoulder, she let out a high pitched screech, throwing the egg up in the air. "Oh, no no no no no!" she said quickly, reaching out to catch the delicate thing. It rolled out of her hands once, twice, and just before it hit the ground she snatched it up. "Oh jeez, thank god. If that actually broke I was gonna be so fu----."

She turned around quickly, her words dying out as she realized who was standing behind her. Standing awkwardly bent over with a colorful egg in her hand she turned red, not really sure what to say. "U-uh... hi. I wasn't trying to break this egg, for the record, uh..."

Swallowing hard, Miuna quickly regained her composure, standing up straight with the colorful egg in her hand. "Eggs! Right, um... it depends on what eggs you're talking about! These eggs, I have no idea. I was actually just trying to figure out how to open them, but there doesn't seem to be a latch anywhere. It might be a school event or something...? Have you heard any rumors at all?"

[Misa]

Letting out a yelp of her own Misa looked on with sudden fear as the egg stumbled in the other's hold, immediately regretting her approach as she bowed to the girl. "I-I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed, really feeling bad about the whole sneaking up thing. Looking up Misa was surprised that the other hadn't reprimanded her or just walked off peeved, and instead actually answered her question. Not wanting to make this more awkward she answered the girl's questions.

"W-Well, I haven't heard of any events pertaining eggs," she said in a soft tone while looking at the eggs they were holding, brows furrowed in confusion before easing out as she blinked at the second question and shook her head. "I haven't, sorry. I'm just as surprised as you are..." she said, twirling the egg in her hand before looking back at Miuna and remembering what she had said before.

"Um, when you said 'depends on what eggs you're talking about,' i-is it possible that, you know something about other eggs...?" she asked, sounding curious and somewhat hopeful that she had found someone with the same problem as her. Before she could prod more for answers Misa felt her cheeks grow hot since she hadn't introduced herself to the girl.

"Also, I-I'm Misa. Misa Hisakawa," she greeted politely, looking off to the side guiltily. "I'm very sorry to have caused you to jump like that. I-I didn't mean to scare you..."

[Miuna]

Miuna swore under her breathe. So this person knew about the 'other eggs' as well. This entire school was a mistake, she could feel it in her bones. She wanted some nice adventures and maybe a quirky horror story, not this strange fad of appearing eggs. This isn't what she signed up for when her parents moved away. Most schools had a cool mascot or maybe an interesting historical fact. This stupid place had eggs.

"So... I'm guessing you also have an egg then," Miuna said, putting down the one in her hand and pulling out her own. She wanted to say it was getting warmer to the touch, but she really didn't know. Maybe it was the rising temperatures of spring that were tricking her into thinking that this thing was changing. "Yeah, I know a lot about these things. At least, more than most people apparently. I don't think the two are the same though, the ones around the academy don't seem to have an owner of sorts. Everyone I've met so far doesn't exactly just leave their own egg around in trees and desks."

She sighed, patting the spot next to her under the window and moving over. This was going to be a mess, she could tell already. "Akiyama Miuna," she stated, "I'm fine, it's whatever. Feel free to sit down, I have a feeling we're going to have to figure out this situation if we ever want to gain our sanity back."
