LOOKING FOR EGGS! searching... The base of the Rookery tower is a mess. The dropped twigs and straw from thousands upon thousands of nests have clumped into vast, crunchy hills that Breeders patiently rake out of the pathways. Scraps of moss have taken root in the fertile soil, spreading to provide a patchy covering to the land.
But there is gold in these hills. The gold of eggs that have fallen from their nests, only to land safely in the beds of fallen leaves.
So search! Check between branches, under logs, and in piles of crunchy red leaves, for who knows where those pesky eggs are hiding?

There was an almost meditative quality to the work that Bronze had set himself to. Carefully, diligently raking the masses of flame-hued leaves to clear the pathways was not hard labour, by any means, but it took patience. It took time and an unhurried hand, and so when he had witnessed the Breeders engaged in their work, he had volunteered to join them. They had readily accepted, happy to have an extra pair of hands to lighten the load, and had even been so kind as to offer the opportunity for him to keep any eggs that he might find, so long as they were checked over by the staff beforehand.
Adonitus, his Duraludon, worked at his own steadily growing hillock of dead vegetation, singing a boisterous, hearty epic in a voice that was rich and warm - a tale of an ancestor, another Steel Type, who fought against terrible odds for the sake of love, and honour. It made for a pleasant accompaniment, and Bronze hummed softly along as he hefted a particularly sizeable branch aside, absently dusting off the palms of his thickly padded gloves before pulling the right one off in order to wipe sweat from his lined brow. Pressing his hands to the small of his back, he stretched, arcing backwards and from side to side in gentle, careful stretches, grunting in satisfaction as the knot of discomfort twinged and began to ease.

Luna had decided to come to the Rookery and begin to look for eggs. She had heard of the Egg Hunt event from the friendly code Porygon which often helped players out, and decided to participate. She decided to look around carefully for the egg, getting Rose to help. The Snivy was also keeping a close eye out for any Possible eggs. Participating in this event well it was really the first event she had been part of, and it seemed to be one of the safer yet fun events.
As the girl and her Snivy looked for eggs, she held out hope. Perhaps she would find one on her very first hunt, and it would be something to talk about later on. Rose kept on trying to dig around, and hopefully happen upon an egg. "I hope we find one, Luna!" "Me too... but if we don't at first we just need to keep searching!"

<<So, whatâre we looking for?>> Bacchus the Sawsbuck inquired, a gleam in his gaze. It had seemed fitting to name the former Deerling Fairytale had caught after a god of madness. After all, catching Bacchus had brought them to the brink of it. It was a better name than âPainâ or âSufferingâ, at least, which were the first few nicknames that had popped into Fairytaleâs mind for the Deerling at the time.
Honestly, despite it all, Fairytale quite liked the Sawsbuck these days. The pokemon was sharply playful, just as they were.
Padma the Bulbasaur piped up cheerfully, always willing to be kind and help out, <<Weâre looking for eggs, Bacchus!>> Padma exclaimed with enthusiasm.
<<Thatâs less exciting then I hoped for,>> The sometimes-violent Sawsbuck sighed.
<<âŚI- I think itâs plenty exciting⌠Baby pokemon are real adorableâŚ>> The timid Whimsicott, Aries, stated. He looked around with earnest determination.
<<What if we make it a competition, Bacchus? Whichever one of us finds eggs is the winner!>> Padma warmly suggested, trying to encourage the Sawsbuck to get into the spirit of this all. Bacchus snorted, but he also nodded. He was never one to back down from a challenge.
Honestly, with three pokemon helping them out, Fairytale probably didnât need to participate. But, they were never one to let a game pass them by. âIâm in,â They announced to their pokemon.
The Sawsbuck rummaged through leaf piles with his hooves, poking at the ground gently to not crush any eggs. The Bulbasaur used her vines to pick up leaves and make the area clearer to see in. The Cottonee hummed softly to himself as he picked up leaves one by one.
And Fairytale, well, they were grabbing big bunches of leaves at a time and sifting through them. But wherever they touched the ground, plant life sprung up as if it were Spring instead of Autumn. This was the life of a Gardener subclass, they supposed.

"If I find it, do I get to eat it?"
That question draws a stare from Althaea as she pauses her search through the endless twigs and branches.
"Uhm... no?" There's no mistaking the way his little vine whips begin to droop, and she hastily claps her hands together with a smile. "I'll get you a whole bunch of snacks though!"
"Silly Athy!! I can't eat snaks!"
Oh dear god, were they going through this horrible debate again? To this day, she still struggles to figure out what goes on in that seemingly busy head of his.
"Snacks as in treats, the edible kind." She corrects gently, reaching down to give him a pat on the head. With that clarified, he's happy to lean into the pat, giving her that expectant look that she's come to know all too well. "And yes, whatever treat you want."
It's all the motivation he needs to zoom right off, his vines sweeping through the piles of fallen leaves with such vigour that he actually begins making more of a mess than helping. And in the midst of tossed leaves and golden sunlight, he spies something rather strange, his jaws dropping wide open as he lifts a leg to point at it.
"Wudda hecc! Bulnosoar!"

It appeared that though Fairytaleâs team had not found an egg, someone had, for the eggs were suddenly quite visible in front of the players. Hopefully, whatever this hatched into would be a good grass pokemon. They grinned cheerily and they waited. It didnât take long for the egg to start shaking and then to crack open.
Soon, after a glow, the egg was replaced by a pokemon. A Maractus, uncommon. Not bad at all. It had a certain charm to it. Aries the Whimsicott hummed softly at the baby pokemon which began dancing around happily, content to simply exist. Fairytale decided they werenât unhappy with this Maractus. It would fit in well with other grass types as well as the future fairy types, really.
Padma waved happily at the cactus child with one of her vines, before her gaze landed on another Bulbasaur. She perked up even further, quite the feat considering her usually already quite cheery mood. She excitedly waved her vines at the other Bulbasaur. <<Oh, hi there! Are you also from the starter lab?>> Padma asked the other Bulbasaur. <<Iâm named Padma!>> She happily declared.
The Sawsbuck, Bacchus, was sulking. He had been so sure that he would be the one to find the egg once the search had truly begun as a challenge. But, in the end, it hadnât even been one of his team to find the eggs. Bacchus kicked idly at the ground, immensely irritated by this all.

"Wao! Athy!! Lookie here!!"
She's grown rather used to having her in-game name screamed at the top of his lungs, and as always, she makes her way over to the little Bulbasaur. Despite the mess he's made, Kaleo is surprisingly the first to stumble across the egg, his feelers tap tap tapping at the sparkly shell in wonder.
"It's round, Athy!!"
And the way his eyes shine as he smiles right at her causes her to laugh.
"It sure is... Now we just gotta help it hatch, so you can meet your new family."
"Family?? There's anotha' one of me inside?? Like that one there!!" He hops from left to right, all his vines making a strange squiggly motion at the other Bulbasaur. "Oh! But! That one's called Padma! My name's Kaleo!! My name's cooler right, Athy?"
"Well... the egg might not exactly have another you, but they'll be like your little sibling of sorts? So I'll need your help taking care of them, alright?" Althaea can't quite help but scratch behind his ears before carefully separating the egg from the tangle of leaves. "And don't worry. You're very cool, Kaleo~"
It's strange, how the brightness of the sun seems to pale in comparison to his smile.
"You betcha!"

They had found one? Luna looked super excited. "WE FOUND AN EGG!!!" She looked happy as she hugged her Partner Snivy, and Rose cheered too. "WE did do it1 We're an amazing team Luna!!!" Luna took the small egg in her arms, and smiled a bit as she headed back toward the rookery waving at the two other people present. "Perhaps we can catch up sometime?" she asked, sending both of them friend requests as they HAD just hunted eggs together so.. maybe they could be friends. Her Snivy also waved her grass trail at them, trying to be polite, still in the Princess outfit from the refresh session. althaea,Fairytale

Apollo gave a chirp, and a small vibration of his feathers, while rummaging through the leaves. From nest to nest they'd go, and from nest to nest Apollo would fuss and try and clean the nest up.
"My dude, we're not here to clean the nests though. I'm looking at the eggs. I want one to just, like, I dunno. Call to me or something."
What he wanted, was a leafeon or an eevee. But he highly doubted that he'd get one from these eggs. He wasn't good with maths but he knew the percentage was real fuckin' low...but a boy could dream, right? RIGHT?
Derek sure was gonna try anyway.
"Okay," pausing at a nest, his brows furrowed and he leaned closer to consider it. "I'm thinking... yes, this one."
Excited, Apollo fluttered over and inspected it, head turning one hundred and eighty degrees to look between Derek and the egg repeatedly.
"Yeah! Yes," Derek laughed, smiling brightly. "This is the one, let's go see what it is, shall we?"
