D --> Now that the Easter holidays are over and done with, I believe that now would be a good time to cease with the sheneighnigans
D --> I am tired of finding eggs in my things
D --> It's not funny
D --> Whoever is causing eggs to spontaneous spawn about my person had best stop it now
D --> I demand it
D --> If it does not stop, I will take measures to make it stop, and you will not like it

[centaurstestes]

D --> Well, it is an egg
D --> So, I am going to with it e%actly what you would e%pect me to do with it

D --> What

D --> Sure, why not

D --> If this is a%ually a thing we are going to do
D --> Also, as a princess, I would not need permission to go 100k for one
D --> As a r001er, I would be the one to make the r001s, and therefore could ignore them as I see fit
D --> So

[wwistful]

Is that so?
It's nice to finally meet a student with a good head on their shoulders.

[deathmaid]

[ ... ]
this may be strange to inquire
but what are you doing with all those eggs??

[centaurstestes]

D --> Well, if one wishes to be the best, one must put forth the effort to achieve it, is this not so
D --> And my father
D --> I will a%cept nothing less than perfe%ion

[wwistful]

You'll go far with an attitude like that.
I don't believe I've properly introduced myself, I'm Professor Donoghue and I'll be teaching Defence Against The Dark Arts.

[centaurstestes]

[Oh shoot, Aradia, time to act cool]

D --> I will eat them
D --> All of them
D --> At once

[You are impressed by this, y/y?]

[centaurstestes]

D --> Equius Zahhak
D --> It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Professor
D --> I 100k forward to your class
D --> It is of keen interest to me

I can't handle it either, we absolutely have to

[centaurstestes]

[This is not how he planned for this entry to go. Not even the slightest bit. In fact, he's kind of staring at his journal, dumbfounded by this entire conversation. What is going on? What has he agreed to? Why is he going along with this? This is just stupid.]

[And yet... unicorns. Sigh, beautiful, magnificent unicorns. And maybe centaurs. And it's not like he's afraid of the forest, goodness, no.]

[It's just... everything else. Spending time with a commoner. Playing make-believe. Wearing a costume. So unsure about this.]

D --> Well, isn't Professor Ban% always taking students into the forest
D --> If we had to, we could just a% him
D --> I doubt he'd say no
D --> But really, I don't see why we would need to a% at all
D --> It's not that dangerous, as long as you are mindful of what's around you and quick with your spellwork

D --> Also, Nitram, we always 100k magical
D --> We're wizards
D --> It is sort of impossible for us to not be magical
D --> And also, I have no idea where I would get a dress
D --> That is a sentence I never thought I would think, let alone write
D --> You are aware of just how absurd this idea sounds, correct

go finish your app right now

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

tHAT COULD WORK, i GUESS,
bUT, i'M SCARED TO ASK,
mAYBE YOU SHOULD,

oH WELL, uH,
i GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT ON THAT,
bUT, sOMEHOW IT'S DIFFERENT, aND MORE MAGICAL,
iT MAKES SENSE TO ME,
i WISH i COULD, mAKE IT MAKE SENSE TO YOU,

uHH, i DON'T THINK IT'S, aBSURD AT ALL,
iN FACT, i REALLY THINK IT'S THE BEST IDEA, eVER,
wE GET TO MEET UNICORNS, hOW IS THAT ABSURD,
aND DON'T WORRY ABOUT, gETTING A DRESS,
bECAUSE, i'LL GET IT FOR YOU,
aLSO A HAT, bECAUSE YOU NEED A HAT,
mAYBE i CAN ASK KANAYA TO MAKE IT,
sHE'S REALLY GOOD AT THAT, kIND OF THING,

[mo_cara]

Oh, I guess it's around here somewhere. [cheerfully, as he starts patting his pockets in what appears to be a random order] I had some motherfuckin' eggs for you, but I guess you don't be liking them that much, huh? And them chickens around here is fat enough.

oops wrong icon

[deathmaid]

um
ok
thats
thats nice if not impressive and completely unnecessary

[centaurstestes]

D --> I know
D --> I am impressive
D --> If you 100k up the word impressive in the dictionary, you will find my pi%ture ne%t to it

[centaurstestes]

I don't dislike eggs. [Sigh, eyeroll] It is the intent with which the eggs were delivered that I disliked. Since you're obviously doing it out of some perceived measure of friendship, it's different.

[mo_cara]

Hell, yeah, we're mates! [happily, and then he'll start producing eggs from his pocket, setting out three for Equius, all rather elaborately and painstakingly hand-painted. Gamzee is not the world's greatest artist, but he's not bad, either, and tiny unicorns dance across one egg, centaurs another, and horses in a dozen different colors adorn the third] That ain't your present, though, hang on ...

[And the random digging through his pockets begins again.]

[centaurstestes]

[Gamzee is completely ignored in favor of hungrilygreedily, but carefully snatching up the eggs and clutching them to his chest. Horses, precious, beautiful, wondrous horses. Gamzee sure does know the way to his heart!]

YES MASTER, AT ONCE

[centaurstestes]

D --> Oh my gosh
D --> This whole thing was your idea in the first place, and now you're saying that you are afraid of a professor
D --> What is the worst he could possibly do
D --> Say no and scold us
D --> Which we would ignore and proceed as planned anyway
D --> E%pecially if I am wearing a dress for this little e%cursion
D --> If a dress is to be worn by me, then I am not going to let a refusal from a professor stop me from going through with this

[deathmaid]

i am certain your anonymous egg distributer will be glad that youre so
impressive
with his or her gifta

[centaurstestes]

D --> Of course
D --> Why wouldn't they be glad to have their gift a%cepted so impressively by me
D --> I am a pureb100d, after all
D --> And I am very rich and talented
D --> You might also find my pi%ture ne%t to STRONG and handsome, should you care to 100k in the di%ionary again

[deathmaid]

uh

[arachnoble]

Good luck with that.

Really.

[Hey, look at what's now magic'd it's way to you? An egg! Upon touching it the shell with unravel, and it will curl itself into the shape of a spider. Inside of the shell is what appears to be chocolate, but it disintegrates as soon as the spider is complete.]


[Shortly after the egg's delivery, another message appears.]

We'll go over that spell in class tomorrow. If you can figure out the spell before class, I might reward you for being the great wizard you claim to be.

[centaurstestes]

D --> Challenge a%cepted

[And not only will he work this spell out, he will figure out how to make the shell into the shape of a horse, even if he has to stay up all night to do it. Sleep? Who needs sleep.]

[mo_cara]

Yeah, me and Eridan went down to the village on Suly Blodau, because they had the motherfuckin' market, you know? And I saw this-

[Oh, wait. Gamzee's come all the way down here without Equius's gift, because that sure as heck wouldn't have fit in his pocket. Whoops! He pulls out his wand, giving it a little flick.] Accio my motherfuckin' bag what Equius's present was in! Anyway, there was all this fine shit down there, and old lady Davies, not the one what is always sitting out by the motherfuckin' sea, but the one what lives by the pub, she's always making this cool shit and I think she was selling for charity or something, and anyway my da done give me some motherfuckin' pocket money, and I thought maybe you'd be wanting-

[Aaaand Gamzee is smacked in the back of the head by the paper bag he's summoned.] Daaaamn! [He does turn to grab it, though.]
