henhursthall | eggster service & egg hunt

happy eggster!

what's up? Today is a very special day. While humans celebrate Easter, the fowl of Henhurst's flock are celebrating Eggster: a most holy day when a half-human, half-chicken prophet named Gallus (that's Chicken Jesus' name, as it turns out) unified both sides by sharing the bounty of eggs he had miraculously produced. Or, at least, that's what some residents might be able to glean from the Eggster pamphlet they were handed before the service. It's written in Chicken Scratch, but there are illustrations inside depicting the Story of Eggster.

There are quite a few people and chickens that residents have never seen before gathered here today to pay their respects. (The humans, though, seem more interested in seeing the miraculous weeping statue of Gallus for themselves.)

Father Peck leads a very somber sermon and ends the service with a heartfelt rendition of Avian Maria. Communion is given in the form of one raw egg: line up before Father Peck with egg in hand so that he may crack open the top of the shell and ye may partake in its Yolky Goodness.

After examining their conscience and telling Gallus of their sorrow, congregants may go into the confessional to have a heart-to-heart with Sister Dulcinea so that she may judge the weight of their sins.

Brunch is served, but it's chicken feed based. Not that that'd ever stop most of the residents here from partaking in a feast.

The egg hunt takes place at noon. A few of the eggs have special prizes inside, and the person who collects the most eggs is crowned Hen Excellency. Sian Fletcher, if she participates, finds fifty galleons in the very first egg she cracks open. (How did that even fit inside?)

locations! ⬦ THE CHURCH: Sermon, hymns, communion, feed brunch, selfies with the weeping Gallus statue... all the magic happens here!

⬦ THE CONFESSION BOOTH: Have something to confess? Slip into the confessional -- which has a divider that looks an awful lot like chicken wire-- and confide in Sister Dulcinea (a Miracle Chicken born of an unfertilized egg). She'll tell you how many Hen Mary's your penance will be by writing it on a piece of paper in her best Chicken Scratch. Of course, humans and chickens have very different ideas about what sins are, but she'll try to do her best!
Characters who RNG the most and fewest Hen Mary’s will win a “prize." (This section is run by Ben! Thank you, Ben!)

⬦ THE EGG HUNT: The Egg Hunt takes place on all floors of Henhurst, including the garden and outside the building within the bounds of the property line. Some of the eggs contain prizes inside, but most of them just contain yolk. The only way to find out is to crack 'em open!

The person who collects the most eggs is crowned Hen Excellency. How far are they willing to go to win the title?

⬦ ELSEWHERE: Catch-all for other scenes that don't really fit into the other categories.

Character Name: Molly Weasley
Confession: She's been stuffing trash under the seats in the dining area at Flavourtown. She's stolen about five -- no, wait, seven -- of her sister's sweaters since they got here and has been charming them together into a stylish, eccentric DIY blanket.
Honesty: Like an even 5. She's almost certainly sinned more than this, but is not self-aware enough to realize it.
Fear of (Chicken) God: 1. No gods or chickens only man.
Hard Boiled Eggs: Asking gran to make them for her.
DEVIL'ed Eggs: You KNOW she does.
Privacy: Chaos.

Sister Dulcinea takes no issue with the trash stuffing. That's just a fancy way of saying "nesting," and there's nothing wrong with that. Stealing sweaters on the other hand, that she takes issue with. In her mind, it's tantamount to feathering. And there's almost no coming back from feathering, even if you turn those feathers into a stylish, eccentric DIY down comforter. She tells Molly to do 108 Hail Mary's and prays for the young woman's soul as soon as she leaves the booth. Gallus save her.

Oof, Molly tries to get started on that but loses count after 4.
