#egg drop

I was on my way out on another expedition when my companion delivered...this egg to me. I have never seen this kind before, I do not know where it was found. It was just in the saddlebags of my companion - I did not put it there.

There is an immense weight to it - not physical, but...I feel strange around it. There is something different about this egg. I can feel it. It is warm, and...seems to vibrate slightly.

Under normal circumstances I would care for such an anomaly myself, but my hands are truly full - the entire reason I started this hatchery in the first place. So I must outsource it once more. Please, please, take special care of this one. There's something...unique. About it.

-----------------------------------

The rules for a rare drop are slightly different! First, there is a much longer submission period - you will have 24 full hours to enter your submission.

Second, we do not know where this egg came from - you have no hints about how to best care for it or what it wants! And it will need something special to hatch. I do not have an outright "correct" answer in mind, but it will need more than just warmth! (To clarify: You do not need to guess correctly what it needs in order to win. Any submission can still win, as long as you are doing something unique for it, and following the guides below.)

Additionally, the adoption requirement has increased. Written submissions will need to be 500 words, and there needs to be at least 2 drawings - could do a comic!

Additionally, if you just got an egg you are not on cooldown. Anyone can submit for a rare drop at any time.

the part where she says it only took gregory explaining the egg drop concept to her then 3 hours of youtube videos for her to finally get it reminded me of when one of my uni classmates tried to explain a physics concept to me and i still don't get it to this day lmao

i wanna be more like her though see she worked at it herself and got it

she's actually one of my biggest inspirations - maybe a bit weird bc she's a fictional character but idk she's awesome
