WHEN: December 21st - Early January
WHERE: Etraya
WHAT: Newcomers, a surprise gift from Tatianna, and a visitor!
NOTES\WARNINGS:
 ⏵ arrival ⏴ Welcome to Etraya! Arrival goes as expected - characters awaken on hospital beds and are offered an explanation of their situation: that they have arrived in the city of Etraya, and they are their world's only hope. They are welcome to wander the hospital if they would like to - the upper floors are mostly empty, full of pristine hallways and numerous rooms filled with supplies, cots, and things one would expect from a relatively average 21st-century hospital. The lobby is filled to the brim with tables of freshly baked goods. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" banners are taped to the walls, and several other typical birthday decorations can be found in this area. A few of the baked goods tables are lined with massive cakes covered in unlit candles, just waiting for someone to grab a lighter and sing off-key. Is it anyone's birthday? Who knows! The companion bots seem to believe it's every new arrival's birthday and will greet them as such - with friendly waves and cheers as they make their way to the lobby. A coat rack is situated by the doors leading out of the hospital, covered in warm clothing that fits the new arrivals just right - whether it's to their preferred style or not is something else entirely. Some of them appear normal enough. Others? Well. They can't all be perfect, now can they? Outside the windows, the grass is covered in a couple of inches of loosely packed snow. We hope you enjoy your stay.  ⏵ an unexpected gift ⏴ Out by the hospital stands a tall, decorated tree covered in candles and golden pinecones with a handsome, red velveteen tree skirt. In front of it are a few oversized wrapped gifts for show- and atop one of those sits a familiar woman. Or unfamiliar, if this is your first time. It's Tatianna in a slutty Santa outfit with a big ol’ burlap sack. “Hey, I got something for you,” she says, digging into the bag and rummaging for a moment. She produces a painted egg and holds it aloft. “It’s your Winter Solstice Egg! This is the egg holiday, right? Wait, shit. I’m mixing them up, aren’t I? ...Well. It’s a little late to change it. Here you go!” How one treats their egg is fully up to themselves. They can choose to ignore it entirely, or destroy it and leave the yolk and innards to rot on the ground. They can hand it over to someone else or care for it as if it were something precious. No one will prevent them from doing whatever they please with it!  ⏵ naughty or nice ⏴ Those who keep the egg and tend to it will get the benefit of being able to watch it hatch seven days after they are handed the egg. Eggs that are treated with attention and love may yield a loyal companion, or a weapon of choice that always returns to its owner, while neglected eggs may yield a curious, cursed trinket or an animal who treats its new owner very much the same way its owner had treated it before it was born. Please submit an egg request below for what items you would like your character's eggs to hatch into! Please note that these cannot be things that would be applicable in the game. Those whose eggs are destroyed or forgotten will simply get the gift of... nothing!  ⏵ free your spirit ⏴ With the winter chill gripping the air, a mysterious figure makes their presence known in Etraya - a towering, horned creature dragging a massive sack behind them. Regardless of a character's strengths or weaknesses, they will find that when Krampus raises his massive sack over their head, they are powerless to stop him from catching them. Those capable of great magical feats or other supernatural abilities will sense something... otherworldly about Krampus, but will not be able to place the source of that sensation. Once within Krampus' sack, they are welcome to fight, but escape is impossible. It will feel as if Krampus is dragging them over every rock possible, dragging the sack in through the rivers to the point it soaks through and drenches them - potentially almost drowning them. When the sack opens, they will find themselves in an impossibly dark space. Around them are others who have also been captured and dragged here by Krampus, trapped in small cages hanging from a massive, wiry tree. Krampus will return often, banging clawed hands and birch rods on the walls of the cages and knocking them into one another. The whisper resonates through the darkened area, regardless of Krampus' presence. Confess your secrets, and be freed. Otherwise? You'd better hope someone figures out where Krampus has set up base; those who refuse to confess may find themselves stuck here forever. Krampus' base is under Etraya! Deep within the catacombs, he has set up multiple cages to capture those who inhabit Etraya to punish them for their naughty habits. Fighting him is possible! Defeating him by means of combat is not, however, possible. Think of it like fighting a god: Krampus creates the rules in the space around him, including who can use what ability.

An Unexpected Gift
I’m not a bird or reptile either, but it doesn’t seem like either of us have a choice.
no subject
Still, she takes it fairly well in stride.]
No, I suppose not. [She huffs again.] I don't suppose you have any idea how to care for an egg?
no subject
[He can thank a certain sloth for that idea. Makes this whole thing a lot easier.]
On top of keeping it warm, we should put them somewhere safe so nothing can try and steal them or something.
no subject
[Keeping the egg safe from accidents or... predators, if there are any here, makes perfect sense to her. But why would anyone want to steal another person's egg?]
no subject
no subject
[He is an elephant. It's entirely possible, she supposes, that he has friends that are birds.]
Is everyone in your world a talking animal? Or are there humans, too?
no subject
no subject
It must be complicated, I suppose, cohabitating with humans and non-speaking animals. The city buildings must be very large to accommodate elephants. Have you and the other speaking animals got jobs? How do you operate things like doors if you haven't got opposable thumbs?
no subject
As far as I know, there isn’t really any sort of cohabitation between humans and animals outside of wolves. Most animals just simply live out in the wild while the humans live in small settlements. And the architecture in my world is nowhere near as advanced as the ones in here or your world.
no subject
You live in the wild? You don't even have shelter?
no subject
Yeah. On the shelter part, I sometimes build one if there’s a need to. But otherwise, I would simply rest underneath the trees.
no subject
[Even the people in the deepest parts of the fissures had makeshift tents. She can't imagine not having a house to return to at the end of the day.]
no subject
no subject
At least there are warm places to live here.
[She pauses, a little awkwardly.]
Have you got any other information on caring for an egg? Do I just take it home with me and... keep it wrapped up? Should I light a fire, perhaps, and keep it near the fire? Or would that be too warm? [A terrible thought occurs to her.] I'm not meant to sit on it until it hatches, am I?
no subject
I wouldn’t sit on it if I were you. The reason most birds can get away with it because they have feathers and a brood patch. In this way, they can safely sit on the egg and provide the necessary heat for incubation without the risk of it breaking from their weight.
In your case, you’re better off having the egg wrapped up in cloth or placing it near something that keeps it warm. If you’re going with fire as a source of heat, just remember not to put the egg too close to it or you'll risk having the embryo boiled to death instead.
no subject
And then a thought occurs.]
There's a library here. Surely there must be books on egg-rearing that will explain the proper temperature at which to store it and how non-birds can successfully hatch an egg. [She's never done anything halfway in her life. If she's going to raise an egg, she's going to raise it properly.]
no subject
no subject
[She smiles politely. And with a little bit of relief, now that she has a specific starting place. Much less daunting than trying to hatch an egg with no guidance at all.]
Thank you. For your advice. I don't believe I got your name.

Nice to meet you too, Caitlyn.
