[ You find yourself in a grassy field. (Well, grass mixed with some clover and dandelion greens -- no flowers or buds though). It's dark out, though there is some light coming from a strange box to your left. There is a line of trees to your right.

Behind you is the sound of water. ]

[scalesfromeyes]

Hmm… What do you think?

[aberdevine]

I think that box is pretty suspicious.

[scalesfromeyes]

Well? Are you going to open it?

[aberdevine]

[grumbles]

Fine, why not.

[gonna go examine the hell out of that box :E]

[dramatispersonae]

[ it's wood and has four sides. Each side has a slit where light is coming out (the light isn't warm, just... light '-'). The top is bigger than the width of the box, so it has a bit of a lip to it. You might be able to just lift the top off . . .? ]

[aberdevine]

[lifting the top off sounds like a spectacular idea to me.]

[dramatispersonae]

[ TENTACLES!!1

no, just kidding.

Inside is a nest with an egg the size of a grapefruit. The egg is what is giving off the light and you might have blinded yourself a bit because it's really bright. ]

[YEAH BRINGING HIS ARM UP TO SHIELD HIS EYES.]

Ow!

[scalesfromeyes]

[okay maybe I will come over after all.]

Are you all right?

[aberdevine]

There's some kind of egg. Don't look at it, it's really bright.

[scalesfromeyes]

Oh! An egg~. We should take it, though, right?

[can I reach in without looking and pick up the egg?]

[aberdevine]

Should we...? I guess it could be a light source...

[scalesfromeyes]

It's an egg, Viridian. We have to take care of it.

[aberdevine]

You get to carry it if you want it. Maybe you should just keep it in the box and carry it like that.

[scalesfromeyes]

If you're really going to be like that, we could always use the bags, right? But I think we should be more careful with an egg.

[aberdevine]

It's really bright.

[scalesfromeyes]

[rolls her eyes and picks up the egg before moving off towards the sound of water.]

Really, Viridian.

[aberdevine]

I'm just saying!

[ the water is actually a small clear stream that runs from somewhere across the field into a bush of bright red berries. The berry bush is pretty tall but possibly you could wiggle through it . . . but who knows what lies past it? ]

[aberdevine]

Now what... go for the trees instead?

[scalesfromeyes]

[picking a berry and tasting it '-']

Oh… I suppose, if you'd like. But children like food.

[dramatispersonae]

[ tastes like plum '-' ]

[aberdevine]

You think we should pick the berries?

[scalesfromeyes]

[…well I certainly am putting them in the bag of holding.]

Mm!
