[log] Eggs 101

Who: Rachel and half a dozen other people
What: Hey, kid, want to see an egg? The Eggs 101 quest.
Where: The outskirts of Domina, past the residential area
When: Day 11
Other: Surprise parenthood

Domina, despite the magical way it appeared to the residents of the tree, is a very simple town. While there's bustling activity of all sorts near the market, a quieter atmosphere reigns in places like the church on top of the hill or near the residential area and its outskirts. This is something that is obvious to anyone who's explored a little around town at all and has a bit of observational skills.

Today, however...

A little past the array of houses, near what should be a quiet clearing, is a cacophony of chirping. Anyone who goes to investigate will find nine eggs there in the middle of the clearing. At least... They look sort of like eggs. They all share a general egg shape as the best: oval and white. However... One seems to have fins on the side of it. Another seems to have cracks in its shell that almost seem like jaws. Et cetera, et cetera. All of them are mobile, but they don't go very far. In fact, they stick pretty close together and only seem to wander a little ways off from the main group before stumbling back and inevitably colliding with one of their own.

Crouched down behind a decently sized bush is a young woman with quivering antennae and delicate bug-like wings, her blue hair held back out of her face. For anyone who's been particularly social or observant or both, they might recognize her: this is Rachel, the daughter of the general store couple.

[Kenma took a spot under one of the shady trees as he watched the eggs run around. He knew he wasn't going to chase after an egg, not when he had enough trouble trying to jog when he had practice. However, he could keep an eye on which egg would be the easiest for Kuroo to catch. His skill as a setter came in handy earlier when avoided the eggs on his way to the tree.

Kenma looked over and spotted an egg he knew Kuroo could catch easily. It wouldn't be too hard since Bokuto spooked them all. When Kuroo caught it, Kenma left his comfy spot from under the tree and walked over to him. He frowned a bit as he looked at the wiggly egg.

What do you think is inside?

[Kuroo's promptly sat down with his egg, folding his legs around it and hemming it in with his long limbs. He grins lazily up at Kenma.] No idea. That's kind of the appeal of catching them, right? Getting to find out, sooner or later?

[He snagged some food for the eggs earlier, even if he'd opted not to use it for the actual catching. He offers a piece to the egg, which immediately stops struggling and happily (if an egg can be happy) eating from his hand.]
