Eggs, Eggs Everywhere!

[dee_lorean81]

Happy Easter, everyone! Today's event is less of a party and more of a hunt -- an Easter egg hunt, to be precise. It's a pretty epic one too, as Doc, Marty, and DG-Victor all got eggs and hid them -- and didn't tell each other until after they'd done so. Of course, depending on how many guests they get, they may need all of those extra eggs...

As it stands right now, though, the competition for finding the most oval pieces of colorful plastic is between the current residents of the Inkwell. Dee's in her element, hunting down eggs in the front yard with her Daddy, while DG-Victor has of course teamed up with his wife to search the back. Simon and Lucy have paired up and are scanning the Inkwell itself, along with Marty and Steve & Gary (the latter two in puppy form for mobility's sake). And FV-Victor and BB-Victor are watching the whole thing from the roof, just enjoying the nice weather and the view -- and having snuck a fair amount of the chocolate up there with them.

So! Anybody else want to grab a basket?

AL nods, agreeing with Doc. Jesse pipes in. "I think I'm the most normal of this group."

"You're a doctor, though," says Tommy. "That's no small feat."

"I remember," says AL, nodding again. "Mystie and Josie. I think that's what drew the alter ego to her. You know...same writing style and all." She pats Doc's hand. "At least she also gives you the loves of your lives, too?" she says in an attempt to lighten the mood.

"No magic to counteract stomach aches?" Hooks asks, curious.

"Indeed," Doc agrees. "It takes a lot of hard work and study. What you've done with your life is quite impressive."

"And JC," he agrees with AL. "Goodness, those days feel so long ago now. . ." He arches an eyebrow. "You are aware that I'm currently lacking female companionship?"

"Hey, what am I?" Dee protests, hands on hips.

Steam hisses from Doc's back. "Er, different sort of companionship," he clarifies, clearing his throat. Then he reaches out and ruffles Dee's hair, smiling. "Though that's a fair point -- I may not have a girlfriend, but I have a family. I think it's a fair trade."

Forgotten blinks, then leans on the lip of the roof, looking thoughtful. "I -- huh. You know, there's two spells in my world for healing that I know of, but I've always thought of them in terms of curing cuts and bruises. Maybe I should try one of them the next time I have a stomach ache. We've got enough dandelions, and I can get my hands on some seeds easily enough."

AL folds her wings in a way to hide the pink since, yes, she (and me...whups...in my defense I wrote that late at night...) did forget he didn't have a girlfriend, and tries to act like she meant Dee all along.

"It would probably depend on the definition of 'heal', I think," she says to Forgotten. "Or the cause of the upset. Indigestion is when the stomach acid attacks the digestive lining and breaks it down, so I think it'd make sense that that could be healed. If you're bloated from eating too much, however, that's not exactly something that could be healed I would think." She ponders a moment. "Makes me think about my own healing power when I had it. It was always mild-to-moderate injuries. Never thought about upset stomachs either." Am I gonna have to now?

(Peeked at your website; Flower’s Blush says it can treat headaches, so why not stomachaches? ^^ Also, since I was there, the description for Spring’s Breath is missing a "t" here: (if using this on a plan, it’s best to get seeds matching that particular plant))

Doc won't hold it against her -- he knows most of his alternates are attached in some way, so it's an easy mistake to make. Besides, as stated, he's quite happy with the state of things as they are. He wouldn't mind getting a girlfriend, but he's got a daughter, a son, and a nephew. That's already more than he ever thought he'd have.

"Hmmm -- good point," Forgotten agrees. He playfully offers a rather large chocolate rabbit to his counterpart on the roof with him. "Butterfly Boy, want to run some experiments?"

Butterfly Boy gives him a look. "I'll wait until I get a stomachache naturally, thank you."

((Fair enough! Though it probably would depend on the kind of ache... And of course it is. *facepalm* Fix in a minute.))
