User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.The eggfest last year proved popular enough that Rise & Shine are here again with a hot stone. The wide, flat stone slab steams in the chill, perched upon a stack of other stones, a snoozing salamander nestled amongst the flames below. A halved turtle shell houses yellow liquid - "beaten egg," Come Running explains, "but don't eat that! We've got a little game for you."

She picks up a spiral shell (no crab attached) in her mouth, dips it into the mixture, and starts to pour it out on the hot stone. With a quick few tilts of her head, her efforts form a flower - well, fried egg in the shape of a flower. "Egg art!" She exclaims, though looking pretty critical of her deformed flower-egg-thing. "Now you try! Delicious eggs brought to you by Rise & Shine, come visit if you'd like more..."

(She spends the next few minutes with a stick scraping the fried egg off the stone. You get the sense this could have been thought through better, but if you eat it fast enough, it should be fine...)

HOW THIS WORKS
As your kin is making beaten egg art, your task, the user, is to make real pancake art! (You can make beaten egg art if you really want to, but pancake is probably easier.)
Break out the skillets and mix and make pancake art of what your kin would make, then post a photo of your masterpiece with the form below.

"Egg art?" he watched her curiously, a smile crossing his face. "Well this is new, but I'll give it a shot." he looked on thoughtfully as she cleaned the rock up, and it was as she stepped back that he had reached a decision on what he wanted to make.

He followed the example she'd set and picked up the spiral shell and began to move his head a little to let the egg dribble out bit by bit, a little more scooped up and used to fill in his shape before he set the shell back in and stepped back to look at the star cooking away on the hot rock.

"I spend a lot of time looking upward at night at the sky, and the stars speak to me so it seemed kind of fitting..." he trailed off lamely, a sheepish sort of smile from him though he was pleased with his result given it was a first for him!

Pit watched surprised at the idea of eggs, where did they get the eggs from? And they sounded and smelled rather delicious, and two art? He approached looking at shells and hummed thoughtful, picking up a shell and dribbled a little bit into it. Then found a stick to poke about the egg a little bit to get more of the shape he wanted.

"Its an umm.. bird... because I saw one recently, and they are lovely," Pit said shyly. "I umm wish I could have seen them better. "


(I totally used a fork to scoop egg bit and shape it)

Attempting to copy the curious doe Quest dipped her shell in the egg and pondered what to create. As always she was thinking of her children and her current activities reminded her of their innocence and first hoof prints in the swampy earth. So, that's what she attempted to create but... she clearly had minimal artistic skills. Alas, it was the memories that counted!

"It's, uh. A rose. Like me," Roses in Bloom laughed sheepishly, looking up from her art. "I guess I got a bit carried away, but. I hope it egg-scedes your expectations!"

Smash-and-Mash eyed her eggs with a critical eye. "They're a chicken. Because chickens lay the eggs. And if we don't eat them, the eggs turn into chickens. So! The eggs are a chicken now."

Stars in Her Eyes pulled at funny face at her grandfather's work. "What is it?"
"An acha and kiokote of course!"
"Oh! I guess I kinda see it. Well, I see the acha."
"Hmph."

"It's a turtle," said Westward Bound very helpfully. "I mean - ah, I mean, this represents the conflict between love and duty. The yellow color of the egg reminded me of my own turtle companion," he began, nodding toward Little Oath, beside him. "Who is in turn named for a doe I've spent - much of my time with, who I do love. Those," he adds, nodding at the pair of blobs above the turtle. "Those are supposed to be whiteflowers - I know they're yellow, but, well. They're the plant my tribe, Westfen, prizes most; we grow a lovely garden of them and consider them valuable gifts." He smiles, here. "I'm always busy doing things for my tribe - and as a result, I can't often make time for the people who I care very much for. Yet, I could not abandon Westfen - I love it, and its members, too much." He looks up and catches Come Running's eye with a smile. "Thank you for indulging this sentimental fool. I did enjoy the - the activity!"
