ORANGE SODA ☆ EASTER EGG HUNT

STANDING IN THE NOTHING, AND TIME RECLAIMS YOU

This... this was the big event. Well, obviously the feast happening on Easter Sunday would be pretty major, but Michael was most excited for this particular event. A massive Easter egg hunt, put together by himself and several NPCs, with brightly colored eggs hidden all over the territory. Not just in random little spots, but near major landmarks and in clever little alcoves, all of which were quite clever, at least in the dealer's opinion. Not only that, but the thief was fairly sure this entire thing would be pretty damn fun, if it all worked out properly. He had to admit he was feeling a bit exhausted, since he had spent the wee hours of the morning scrambling around to hide eggs, but now he felt exhilarated. Mainly because he was ready to have cause some mischief with this whole little Easter egg hunt.

It would be pretty obvious to anyone that approached the tavern that day that Michael was involved in something. Not only was the male in his pitch black coyote form, but he also had a pair of bunny ears on his head, and a brightly colored sash wrapped around his waist. Additionally, he had a basket of eggs specifically for him sitting beside him. Something about them seemed almost... off, but he wasn't about to say anything. Well, anything about that, anyways. After all, he needed to explain what was going on.

Clearing his throat, the canine then spoke in a booming voice, "HEY, EVERYBODY! GET YOUR ASSES OVER HERE FOR SOME FUN!" The shout was enough to startle several people nearby, plenty of them coming rushing over to see what he had to say. With a satisfied smirk on his face, Michael then continued, "Thank you. Now, you're probably wondering why I'm dressed up in this getup... well, the reason is because... we're doing an Easter Egg Hunt! Although... it was probably pretty obvious." He chuckled a little, briefly shaking his head before his explanation moved forth, "The whole thing is pretty simple — you guys will be grabbing the nearby baskets, and then exploring the territory to find hidden Easter eggs. They're hidden all around The Typhoon's territory, including at many of the major landmarks." He gestured in various directions, such as at the sea dome, as well as the Anchored Tempest.

His grin then only seemed to widen as he went on, "Not only that, but I'll be making some attempts to stop you guys from collecting eggs along the way. Don't worry, I won't be hurting anyone. Just distracting you." Well, the rotten eggs he was equipped with would probably sting if they got in anybody's eyes. Thankfully, he wouldn't be aiming for those. "In the end, whoever gathers the most eggs will not only win bragging rights and the title of Easter King or Queen, but they'll also be granted the amazing reward of getting to sit next to Captain Roxanne herself at the Easter feast we'll be having tonight. Er... along with Diya, obviously." Be wasn't about to try and separate the two wives. To do so would be a death sentence, and he knew it.

With a little cheerful hum leaving his muzzle, the coyote then tapped a paw against the ground, almost impatiently. He spoke up loudly as he did so, gesturing his tail towards the baskets, "Now then... we haven't got all day, so grab your baskets and get out of here! Oh... and don't disappoint me! I better not see any baskets with no eggs in them by the end of this!" That last bit was a joke. Well... mostly. Perhaps he'd egg those who didn't actually put effort into searching. He supposed he would decide later.

( welcome to the 2021 Typhoon Easter Egg hunt!! OOC, how this will work is that your character is considered to "win" after you make 3 IC posts in this thread of them searching for Easter eggs (with at least two IC posts from others in between to give everyone a chance, please). However, if Michael goes after your character with his brand of mischief, another post will need to be made before you win (3 IC posts searching for eggs, 1 defending themselves from / running from Michael). At most you will need to make 4 IC posts in order to win! The first place winner will receive the IC rewards mentioned, as well as a digital fullbody of their character from myself, @/mediisi! The second and third place winners will also receive gems, in order to encourage people to keep participating! Have fun! ^^ )

Vayne was excited for the Easter events that Michael had planned and whenever the bobcat called for everyone to gather, of course the girl was quickly there. "I should be able to sit next to Diya and Roxie regardless." The she-cat stated, sticking her tongue out playfully at Michael. With her statement being said, Vayne went off and quickly grabbed a basket and started her search for the eggs that Michael had hidden.

Easter egg hunting, huh? He had figured that someone would come up with extra events for the holiday, though he couldn't picture anyone else hosting anything other than Michael despite that thinking. Roxanne was busy and there was no way in Hell he could be convinced that Keona would ever do such a thing. That left...who? Roan? Don't be ridiculous.

The bit about being hunted down by Michael and his rotten weaponry tugged a bit at Danny's nerves, but he was sure that this was perfectly harmless...mostly. Then again, the last time he was promised that something was harmless by Michael, it didn't turn out well or harmless for him. But there was a difference between a bad egg and an entire volcano. Danny rubbed the back of his neck, on the side that didn't carry his injury anyway, and opted to nervously take a basket as well. Look, he could either do this or stay in the temple while everyone else had fun, and he didn't want to do that. He wanted to participate and not look like an injured loser, and also Roan was a little intimidating to be stuck with for extended periods of time. And so off he went.

~ ☼ Now this, this was the entire reason that she was here! Well, maybe not the entire reason, but the egg hunt right here was one of the big reasons she had come over here to participate. The feast and the rest of the festivities were all well and good, and she was sure she would enjoy all of it, but she was sure this would be the highlight of her time here! Not only was this going to be a fun game, a bit like her usual hunts around the Glades for knick-knacks and items, but the thing they were searching for was eggs, free eggs! Oh sure, there was that whole bit about getting to sit next to Roxanne during the feast, which she was sure was a huge honor and all and would be pretty cool, but make no mistake, she was here for the eggs first and foremost.

The guy who was handling all of this seemed really intense, with the shouting and all that, and apparently he'd even be out there trying to stop them all too. It sounded challenging, but that was only gonna make it more fun, after all what was a game without a bit of a challenge to it? Onyx did however give a look of pure and utter disgust towards the eggs that the guy already had collected in his basket, they smelled awful, rotten, and she was absolutely not about to get hit by one of those. Grabbing the handle of a nearby basket between her teeth, she shot one last look at Michael, before bounding off and out into the island to begin her search

Things had properly kicked off, at least in Michael's opinion. Perhaps the canine could've waited until a couple more people arrived, but he didn't particularly feel like waiting around. Besides, he was sure they had heard his little speech, and would come grab an empty basket if they felt like it. For now, he had a job to do. His mismatched gaze darted between the three poor souls that had already begun their hunts, making mental notes to figure out who his first target would be. Ultimately, he decided to choose randomly. In order to do so, the coyote closed his eyes, spinning himself around several times before he stopped, eyes popping back open. Even through the dizziness, he could tell that he was pointed in Vayne's direction. He hated to go after his niece first, but, well... fair was fair, after all.

With his extraordinarily fluffy tail flicking behind him, the mischief maker grabbed his basket of cursed eggs into his jaws, taking off after Vayne. It didn't take him long to catch up to her, considering his longer legs. With a shrill whistle, the male soon found himself barking in a challenging tone, "Get ready to dodge, Vayne!" He gave no more warning than that, dropping the basket in front of him and scooping up a pair of his rotten eggs. With a rather pleased smirk on his face, Michael then chucked the pair of eggs at Vayne, aiming for either her side or the ground right near her. Thankfully, the eggs weren't so raw that they were hard as rocks, or anything. He didn't want to hurt anyone, just... try and throw them off. And the smell of rotten eggs certainly did throw one off of... anything, really.

Of course Vayne's excitement stopped her from noticing the raw eggs Michael had until the very last moment, when the bobcat called out to her. She whipped her head around to blink at him, confused, before it registered that he had launched something at her. Vayne let out a squeak of surprise, scrambling as she tried to dodge the egg that had been thrown at her. "No fair!" The orange-spotted she-cat called back to Michael, sticking her tongue out at him, before she wrinkled her nose as the smell of the shattered raw egg hit her senses. Yuck!

With the vines wrapped around his legs tight, the dark-furred wildcat hesitantly trotted over at Michael's call.  Easter seemed a relatively strange holiday to him, with so much emphasis on eggs, but he did not mind understanding it better.  The egg hunt itself sounded relatively relaxing, until the dealer mentioned he would be attempting to distract them -- revealing it would not be so simple.

Of course, Salem hardly minded whether or not he won.  This was simply a bit of fun before the feast, which he would rather enjoy by sitting at Keona's side regardless  -- a thought which he kept to himself with slightly warm cheeks.  Quietly, he retrieved a basket and headed off.

Ah, so that's what those eggs beside Michael had been for. Luckily, he hadn't been anywhere near the other Privateer for once in his life ( shocking, he knew ), but he did hear the interaction when the Dealer caught her, an evil little rabbit from Hell. As was expected of him, or at least he figured as much, Danny pushed off hard enough to kick up anything that beneath his paws, mostly sand and a rock or two, bolting like his life depended on it. It was just a bad egg, that was the threat here, but the adrenaline of trying to avoid getting caught registered as a potential threat in his panicky brain. Neither Salem nor Onyxpaw would have been noticed, he was not about to be a potential target from being distracted if nothing else.

Well Vayne definitely didn't want to stay and wait to see if Michael was gonna try and chuck another one at her, so the Privateer quickly turned and followed after Danny. "Psst hey, what if we worked together to find some?" She tried to talk to Danny via telepathy, but tried not to make it entirely obvious. Of course, if any one knew her and Danny, they could probably assume what she was up to.

But shh, she thought she was being sly.

Ah, people working together. He... really should've expected that, honestly. It made sense that Vayne would want to pair up with Danny, considering their closeness. And yet, Michael had figured that everyone would go "every man for himself" style. Still, it wasn't exactly the end of the world. If both Vayne and Danny won, then he would just let them both sit near Roxie's spot at the table. That seemed fair enough to him, at least.

Regardless of how sly Vayne thought she was being, it was pretty clear what she was planning to do. Even if he hadn't heard her telepathic message, the dealer figured that Vayne was following Danny in order to speak to him quietly to plan things out. And of course, he couldn't have that happening. So, his attentions were turned to the canine, another sly grin occupying the coyote's muzzle. His voice jovial and filled with mischief as he called, tail flicking, "Head's up, Danny!" And with that, he then chucked several eggs in Danny's direction, mainly aiming for the wolf's neck, or the back of his head. If any of them hit, it wouldn't be enough to hurt or anything, but the scent of rotten eggs on your neck certainly couldn't be a pleasant one.
