[Good morning Lunatia. It's one of your resident sword spirits turned not quite human gracing the screen. In hand, he holds what appears to be an egg. A very ethereal, very shiny, beautifully grey egg.]

I seem to have laid an egg. With all the other changes and strange things that happen to our bodies here I suppose it really was only a matter of time until something like this were to happen.

Now the only question is what to do with it. You see I don't have much experience with taking care of an egg. I don't believe it would be to its benefit if I were to sit on it. Nor am I aware of any nutritional needs before hatching. Do they need to be bathed regularly or rocked to sleep at night? This is why I'm turning to all of you. I'm not sure what sort of care it might need or if I'm even ready for this kind of responsibility. But I assure you I'm very committed to his or her well being.

[He turns now, revealing a companion who was just out of view until now.]

Oh yes. We're also taking suggestions for names.

[There's the longest of pause, as Kashuu Kiyomitsu states at this screen. At this post. At what Mikazuki literally just said, out loud, for all to hear.

Give him a moment to digest this. Only no, it's just a short moment before he press to send his response.]

Mikazuki, what?

[600kanandscrolls]

I thought he was rather clear. He laid an egg. We're hoping for help on care.

And names, of course.

Exactly what Daihannya said, Kashuu-dono. And since you're here one more question. Would you like to be the godfather? [Does he know what a godfather is? No probably not but he saw something about it in a movie once and it sounded good.]

[Long time no see! But this guy is... weirdly incredibly excited about this, so bear with him. He's beaming, and his white dove companion sits primly and comfortably on his shoulder.]

You're quite in luck, if it's an avian sort of egg! I happen to have hand-raised birds. Keep it warm, cradled softly in a nest. No need to bathe the egg, but I did find myself often sitting by the coop reading to my unhatched little wonders well before they ever greeted the sun!

[jiyuujin]

Oh how fortunate it is to meet you both again indeed. [And yes he's nodding to both Wataru and Jeanne.]

I'll surely leave myself in your care with these important matters. When it comes to the content of reading material did you find your eggs had any particular preferences or does that depend on the unique nature of the individuals?

[He sips his tea now, tails sways in lazy amusement.]

You know, I wonder what tips you'll get with this post.

[jiyuujin]

[For his part, Mikazuki is lounging on the floor in one of his yukata, half draped across Daihannya's lap, making use his tentacles to idly roll the egg along the fine grooves in the tatami mat.]

Personally I'm curious to see the ratio of serious advice to suggestions that we eat it. Speaking of. What were you thinking for breakfast?

[sarcaskick]

I'd probably go with "Breakfast".

[600kanandscrolls]

I appreciate the gender neutral name. I like it.

[jiyuujin]

Brilliant. Brilliant. I don't suppose you have recommendations for how to prepare it.

[bought]

Maybe you can use the library to identify the egg and the care it needs? What form were you taking when you laid it?

[jiyuujin]

Ah I suppose if it turns out to be related to the local fauna that would be the best resource. I'll have to look into it. As for myself, I fall under the Iris moon and have taken on the traits of certain sea creatures since I first arrived.

[So it probably doesn't need to be said that there's not much of a connection between octopus egg sacs and the hard round object he's got in hand right now.]

They said no one was able to- [ His brow furrows, searching for words. ] have children after arriving here.

[ Actually, the more important question here is how someone who sounds and looks nothing like a lady produced their own progeny, which shouldn't be feasible. Even under the influence of moons that allow for bird-like features, certain anatomy shouldn't allow for any kind of births, no matter how you look at it. ]

Is this a joke? Because this doesn't seem possible.

[jiyuujin]

Now now no need to be so serious. What's all this talk of children. It's just an egg. Surely no more trouble than a dog or a koi fish but as my kind have only recently needed to taken care of themselves, well, I didn't want to assume I could be trusted with the responsibility of yet another life so soon.

Well you see when two birds love each other very much sometimes they decide to make a little benedict

oh, i get it! this is a prank, right?! that's gotta be some weird looking chicken egg

good one, bro

[600kanandscrolls]

A prank? That's rather cruel when we are so proud of this new life.

[decisiveconquest]

I cared for three dragon eggs once. It would help if I knew the species of your child. (She will forever be a mother at heart. No matter the child's species, she wants the best for them.) You should keep them warm if nothing else.

[jiyuujin]

Lets see. I, myself, am sword but we don't exactly progenerate from eggs. [Or yanno... at all.] Here I find myself with the Iris blessing.

Dragons though. That sounds quite magnificent. You must be very proud.

You - you laid an egg.

( Why are they just glossing over this part?! He thought nothing else here could surprise him.

He was wrong. )

[600kanandscrolls]

He did. It's beautiful isn't it?

video;

[jiyuujin]

That's correct. Quite the miracle. Wouldn't you say?

[resenting]

[Yeah, that's more information than he wanted to know. It's a legitimate question though, so...]

Keep it warm, but don't overheat it. Buy an incubator if you need to. Watch the humidity, eggs can 'drown'. You might need to turn it every so often, too.

[jiyuujin]

Oh you sound like you have a lot of experience with this sort of thing. They can even drown? That's fascinating. I wonder how that works. I guess the bath is completely out then.

How? How?

Oh, but I have birds back home. Just... make sure it stays warm and safe, they are fragile!
