[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.

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?

[bratworth]

I don't care what it looks like. What I want to know is how this is physically possible.

( Perhaps it would be less surprising news coming from a Prismal, but from another Moonblessed? )

It seems that when two men are very fond of each other and spend a good deal of intimate time together...

[bratworth]

I - I know how reproduction works. What are you, some sort of bird or lizard?

[600kanandscrolls]

We're swords actually.

[bratworth]

Swords.

Is that supposed to be an euphemism for something?

[600kanandscrolls]

Would you like it to be?

[bratworth]

Absolutely not.

[600kanandscrolls]

Fortunately it isn't. We are, quite literally, swords.

[bratworth]

I -- we are operating under the same definition of sword here, are we not? Sharp bit of pointed metal, generally with a hilt?

( HELP HIM )

[600kanandscrolls]

Correct.

[Not even batting an eye on this one.]

[bratworth]

And you -- you reproduce sexually.

[600kanandscrolls]

Well, we've never tried before.

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

I'd say! How can you be so casual about all this?
