Anyways, Eggpins look like that pin - cream-coloured clothes, eggshell skin over their regular skin, stuff like that. Always happy for some reason.

And, uh, heads up, the egg did something to them, they're COMPLETE FUCKING SOCIOPATHS. They WILL hurt people to get what they want, do NOT approach them dude!!!!

[Battat stares at the pin Jongler holds. He doesn’t want to touch it anymore because of the egg.]

Why would he need to throw them out?! Theyre dice! Just wash them!

[Poppy still is facing Pluey but from one of the copious pockets in his pocket he has a wet towelette which he hands to Battat. Battat cleans his hands and tries to remove the egg from his sweater.]

Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say

On a bright Hawaiian Christmas day

That's the island greeting that we send to you

From the land where palm trees sway

Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright

The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night

Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way

To say Merry Christmas to you. A very merry merry Christmas to you! 🎄

Thank you for the holiday wishes.

*Shadow coughs and sniffles. His voice sounds a little congested.* Mm... that's a nice sentiment...

I have my own agents of course, even if they're unknowing. Too many to count, the council's stretched too thin at times. I have to hold it together. Hold it together. If they were to know of my existence it would cause... Issues.

Managed to split off a piece of the Hadal entity at some point. My own inside ears and agent. Whether it's compromised... Doesn't matter. Filled it with my light. It was the most I could do.

There's a key I need. Got to connect with someone outside my control, someone who isn't my own agent. Already, I have multiple candidates in mind. It would depend on them to make the connection themself though.

... There's an angle I'm not seeing. A tapestry of a million words. We need to hold together.

End log.

A grand stage made by one of those marching to the beat you set out. Conducted by an unseen hand. The conductor struggling under the weight of the worlds and words made on the screens. So much here to see.

Blue, what a hue don't you agree? To color what is seen! To split a piece off and let light fill the small splinter! What fun this is to watch as this storyline continues! Countless angles! Countless dimensions to consider! Countless words to pour though for the details inside them! Stand tall, then crumble. Build them up, then watch them fall.

I mean I guess?? I didnt even know I was green until somebody told me. UNLESS THEY WERE LYING!! But everybody says Im green so thatd have to be a lot of liars. BUT I GUESS NOW IM BLUE??

[Vague misty mirages of others... Diamondheart, a few random Zappers, the Lightner that's on the stage with Tenna-]

Behind time, you will, find me...

Da-dum...

Da-dum...

Eugh, sure whatever. Why is like that.

[Battat wrinkles his nose at the egg that’s covered the pin. He attempts to remove it with one hand but fails miserably]

Did ya’ want with that, lil’ buddy?

[*Battat got: Eggpins pin! It's pinned on one of the lapels of his clothes, or around that area, appearing to be a pippins that's wearing cream/eggshell coloured clothes, with some kind of shell over their skin, similar coloured pips?... Is there egg on this? It's getting on Battat's clothes!!!!-]

[Also, the smile the "Eggpins" has seems rather... Unnerving...]

Wha-?

[Battat was immediately distracted by the pin. As he went to touch it he was disgusted by the egg]

[A chuckle. Weird.]

I am... The doctor. Not the one you may know of. But I have a gift for you in such troubling times like a forgotten person would.

[A few herbs are handed to Hyacinth. They're glowing.]

May you use them well.

[questions definitely matter. This story started from a question “what is Tenna’s problem?!”]
