Kathryn McAdams - (1 egg found) --> Heading to DCU Art Gallery

Kathryn was still slightly puzzled about how she had managed to miss the giant egg sitting in the open palm of the Founder's Statue. She had been sure that she had scoured every possible hiding spot. Shrugging nonchalantly Kathryn scanned her sheet again before noting the part about taking a selfie with any eggs that they happened to find.

Taking out her phone she stepped in front of the statue and snapped a few photos, making sure that the egg was always in the picture: clearly displayed behind her. That task accomplished Kathryn checked off the first egg as being found and scanned the clues to the possible location of the second egg. At her choices her eyes lit up at the mention of the library. As much as as she wanted to go and search that location she knew it would be a bad idea. It would be all too easy for her to lose herself in a book and then lose the hunt. Maybe she would look into the library after the event was finished. Figuring that an art gallery would be an opportune place to stash an egg as a display Kathryn followed the directions to the building and went inside to begin the search anew. Now that she also knew what sort of shape she was looking for Kathryn began to scour the rooms of the gallery.

Pippa Lowry - Cafeteria moving to the Art Gallery

Looking faintly bemused as a young man crawled out from under one of the cafeteria tables, Pippa took a step back to allow him room to stand up and dust himself off. She had to give the guy this much, she'd never thought of checking under tables.

"Hrmm, 'fraid not," she replied to his question. "I was thinking of checking somewhere new. There's a gallery on campus, right? Seems like it'd be a good place to hide an egg. Wanna come with me? We might have a better chance working together."

The offer was made easily and with a genuine smile. Granted, she was asking a total stranger, but a stranger was sometimes just a friend one hadn't met yet! Besides, she was tall and built like a brick house. No one in their right mind was going to mess with her.

Still smiling, the gave the guy a wave and began to head for the doors. She wanted to get to the gallery and start searching.

Odelia 'Del' Chastain - Front Gates moving to the Library

Tossing her neon colored hair over her shoulder, Del had studied the gates, but alas! No egg to be found. Still, this was an opportunity to take some good candids...

Whipping her little digital camera from a pocket on her dress, she waved absently to a girl who'd waved first before finding a decent vantage point and snapping pictures left and right. And she probably would have stayed there had she not heard another girl mentioning that the first egg had already been found and people were moving on to new locations.

Pocketing the camera, Del was torn for a moment between the art gallery and the library. Both had good points to them as far as places to hide eggs in. But, she rather suspected that most people would choose the art gallery if only because it made too much sense. After all, why wouldn't one choose to hide an egg in an art gallery? It was almost the perfect location.

Which meant she'd be checking out the library. Humming to herself, Del resumed her skipping and headed off. If an egg was in the library, she'd be betting on it being on a shelf, or maybe on one of the hanging ladders? There were so many potential nooks and crannies to investigate!

Liz Jenkins - Front Gate ---> Heading to Gym

Well if that wasn't a small jolt of reality. Liz stared at the gates before hearing a cry of excitement come from those that had searched around the Founder's Statue. Taking out her list from the pocket she had stuck it in Liz contemplated the choices to search for the second egg before randomly selecting the building in which the gym was in. There could be a lot of potential hiding places in a gym. Think of all the seats.

Her mind made up the girl travelled past the Founder's Statue to see the actual size of the egg. As she neared the statue she paused and took in the egg's shape/dimension before turning away and heading off to the gym. It'd not work to dwell on what could have been. She needed to think of the here and now. Opening the door to the gym complex Liz let herself inside and began to search the floor. She'd move to the seats next.

Kirra Morrow - the Gym

Kirra searched all along the big old gate, and in the grass along the wall. But her luck was out. Her hunt turned up a big fat nothing! Drat, that Bunny was tricky. Oh well, on to the next search point.

Not put out in the least, Kirra sprinted for the next large complex she could see, where basketball hoops towered above the rows of benches, and a super-huge swimming pool glimmered behind its fence. She paused to stare longingly at the water. But it wasn’t really hot enough to go swimming, not yet, even if she’d brought something to wear. Could bunnies even go swimming? She’d check it in a minute, anyway.

Turning her back on the pool for now, she made a beeline for the basketball court. Bunnies did like to hop, so the court seemed a likely place to hunt first. It was pretty big, with lots of places to check. Both hoops and all the sidelines, and then on to the padded seats – Kirra ducked down to look beneath each one as she ran the length of the court.




Gigi Gennaro - the Art Gallery

The cafeteria was a bit of a bust – though Gigi thought that most times she visited it. They needed a much better café, preferably one that stayed open for events like this. Empty-handed, she made a token effort to look beneath tables, in the condiments station and behind all the rubbish bins. No mysterious Easter Egg presented itself.

With a shrug, she headed out, wondering how seriously she should take the event. She wasn’t the only adult searching, which was reassuring. She read over the cheat sheet again as she walked, and the description of what they were looking for caught her eye. The eggs had been painted up by kids from the nearby schools. She didn’t know who’d been doing the hiding for the event, but if they were even a little bit of a smart-arse…

Gigi hurried off towards the campus art gallery, eyes scanning the path as she walked. She didn’t come here often, and they had some lovely works – but what she really wanted to see was an egg inserted into one of the displays.

Stacey Longman -- Gym

Stacey was happy when she and the rest of the others found the egg. She was also glad that they weren't all fighting over it considering all of the horror stories she had read of stampedes in several Easter Egg hunts. Well, this was fun! Though she knew it was mostly luck that she had found one already, she might miss the rest of them.

She quickly took a selfie with her and the egg with her phone and looked at where the next clues were. Although she figured that the most likely places for the next egg were either the Art Gallery or the Library, she couldn't help but be drawn to the gym considering her job, and so she managed to wander over there. It was a bit disappointing considering that the focus seemed to be on swimming and basketball, but at least there were other things that could be done within the gym such as regular exercise. Students probably got to use the gym for free also. She was a bit jealous, but figured she would wander around a bit, just to see what they had.

Terry Hyatt ~ Eggs found 1/6 ~ Moving from Founder Statue to Library

When he had spotted the egg Terry had given Seung a quick grin then took a picture with it for proof like they were asked to. Once he was done he turned to Seung as his fiance suggested they try the library. "Sounds as good as any place to me." He said and moved along with the other man. "Are you having fun so far?" Even if they didn't find any more eggs, he was content to spend time with Seung and hoped the other man was enjoying himself as well.

At the greeting from the young woman to Seung, Terry looked to her and gave a smile in greeting. "Hello there. Are you one of his students?" He asked, that being the first thought that came to mind how they knew each other.

Alerana Ikaros - Gym

For a while now, fliers had been going around Destiny City about a big Easter Egg Hunt that was going to be held over at the university. Rana had initially thought it looked kind of childish, but became interested when she saw there were prizes involved. Not to mention, she was always up for a competition of any sort, and the hunt was certainly that. So on the day of the egg hunt, she made her way over to the university to join in.

By the time she got there, it looked like people had already started hunting. She wanted to jump right in and look as well, so she headed straight for the school. But before she got very far, a staff member stopped her.

“Excuse me miss, did you get a wristband yet?” the man asked her.

She just kind of looked blankly at the guy. “What wristband?” she answered flatly.

He nodded as if he expected that answer. “Anyone participating in the event has to sign in and get a wristband first,” he told her. “Then you will be allowed full access to the campus. Here, let me show you to the sign-in table,” he offered.

Rana kind of chafed at the delay, but there was nothing for it; apparently she needed the wristband. So she let the guy lead her over to the table. It was just as well, because once she signed in and got her wristband, she also got a list of clues about where the eggs could be, along with more detailed rules. It looked like they would be looking for just a few fancy eggs, instead of a hoard of little plastic eggs filled with candy, like every egg hunt she’d ever been in before. Guess they decided to class up the event a little.

She looked over the list of clues. Where to hunt first? After reading through all the clues, she didn’t finding anything that said “this is totally where an egg would be!” So she figured one place was as good as another and picked the Gym at random. Now she just needed to find the place.

After a while of wandering through the unfamiliar campus, she finally found the Gym, then slipped inside and spent a while looking. Despite the fact that it was a big, open room, there were a surprising number of nooks and crannies around the edges; under the bleachers, in storage bins and closets, in the lockers, and so on. She wanted to be thorough and make sure she didn’t miss anything, so she poked through every spot she could reach. By the time it became evident that there was no egg here, she’d wasted a lot of time there. Annoyed at herself for picking wrong, she resolved to do better on her next choice. And maybe not spend so much time looking through every little possible hiding spot.

She looked over the list again, picked her next spot, and headed off to keep hunting.
