PUBLIC CHANNEL - DAY 148

[whattaprick]

[ After all that super serious fae speculation, surely the Nightrider would have something important to say, right? Of course he doesn't. ]

All right, so which of you jokers put an egg in Pig's pen?

[ If he sounds faintly annoyed, it's because he is. ]

Now I can't get her out of there -- and before you ask, yes, I tried putting her back in the ball, and then she tried stepping on my head. Obviously, I'm just a little concerned why my horse has decided to try and hatch whatever this is-- [ He breaks off midway, yelling away from the radio. ]

Hey! Baker! I told you to leave that alone!

[ And on that inconclusive note, the radio post ends. ]

[whattaprick]

It looks like a merlin's egg, only it's big enough to be a griffin's. [ Wait, does Yuya even know how big those are...? ] About as big as a human head, light brown and speckled.

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya doesn't know what either of those are so good thing Lambert had the foresight to describe it more thoroughly.]

Do any of the animals in the carnival lay eggs like that? Maybe it got misplaced.

[whattaprick]

Maybe something from the menagerie? Guess I'll have to ask Ginko if he recognizes it.

[hippocarnival]

... There's no way someone's, uh, revival egg would get misplaced, right? [He's gotta ask.]

[whattaprick]

I don't think so. Besides, no one's died recently besides the Ringmaster.

[hippocarnival]

That's good. [That nobody else died that he didn't hear about.] So why's she attached to an egg?

[whattaprick]

Well, according to the engineer, it might be because it's hers.

[ Let his tone show his complete lack of faith in this hypothesis. ]

[hippocarnival]

What, like--[Like she laid it? He's not an ace in biology but this goes against everything he knows about mammals!] How would that work?

[whattaprick]

That's what I said. It's not like I can go back in time to see whether she did or not, so as far as I'm concerned, it's still just a theory.

[ Though he'll have to capitulate, eventually, when a tiny donkey pops out of said egg. Groan. ]

[hippocarnival]

[On second thought, Yuya doesn't want to think that deeply on Pig's biology. He's just gonna let that one lie.] So if Ginko doesn't recognize it we just wait for it to hatch.

[whattaprick]

Looks like that's the plan. Seeing a horse try to brood an egg makes for pretty decent entertainment, at least, when she's not trying to kick me.
