Another holiday ((Activity, open RP, Great Hall))

[noseymaddie.livejournal.com]

So, it's that time of year when chocolate bunnies remind us that the Romans killed this guy and he didn't oblige them by staying dead. Inconvenient for the Romans, rather important to many others.

But, one of the traditions is eggs. Just what the eggs have to do with anything is up to interpretation...unless you're one of those 'country' people who believe this time of year is to celebrate fertility.

Maddie, for her part, just thinks colored eggs are lovely. She has convinced the house elves to boil her up a few hundred dozen to decorate.

The mun is dreadfully lazy, though, and has yet to decorate Maddie's egg. For shame.

But, there are plenty more for everyone to decorate. And, perhaps, even, the mun can be convinced to do some work.

The second time you start talking to a plant that answers back isn't as weird as the first time.

"Oh, it's Easter and it's traditional to color eggs," Maddie answered after a really quick look around to see who was talking. And, the mun got off her arse and colored the egg (http://i42.tinypic.com/2z5jfk0.jpg). Please be ignoring the lazy coloring.

"Why?" Proving that Sunflora is five.

"Ah, well," Maddie hemmed. Now, the mun knows multiple stories, so that's not the problem. The problem lies in just how religious shall we become? "This is a time of year when things really start growing again," she finally temporized. "And eggs remind us of that. And decorating them makes them look like flowers." Now she's bs-ing, but we'll let her get away with that.

"Oh! That makes sense."

Sunflora went off to paint her own egg (http://i42.tinypic.com/ajmln4.png), which she proudly showed Maddie.

"It matches!"

Maddie grinned. "Lovely," he said.

The mun fully supports the lazy art, too.

"You look like you had fun, too," she said.

"I did!" Sunflora grinned. "It was fun!"

"It's also traditional, when you have a lot colored, to have someone hide them and then you get to find them," Maddie said. "It's a lot of fun with a group." This from a dimly remembered childhood.

"I can hide them! I know good places to hide things!"

[noseymaddie.livejournal.com]

"And, then you get people to find them. It gets to be a contest. The person who finds the most gets candy or something like that."

Not that Maddie's suggesting, y'know, anything.

"I can do that! I will hide them!" Sunflora began gathering eggs.

[noseymaddie.livejournal.com]

Maddie wouldn't say it, but the mun will. Get down with your bad self, Sunflora.

"Enjoy. And, be sure you remember where and how many you hide. That way they don't end up rotting."

"Okay!" Sunflora said, smiling, a house elf helping her by bringing a basket.
