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.

⬦ OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS!

Character Name:Aster Parkinson
Confession: Took the lord's species name in vain 3 times. Disrespected her holy father Gallus by imagining him human 1+ time. Watched that scene in willy wonka where the chicken's head gets cut off without blinking. Endangered her health by not eating enough egg protein.
Honesty: Like...8 in that these are true but they're not real sins they're just the closest to chicken sins she could think of.
Fear of (Chicken) God: 1 you cannot fear a god when you hold his secrets
Hard Boiled Eggs: Do slices off the big egg tube that Meat Sweats inevitably utilizes for salads.
DEVIL'ed Eggs: While making eye contact with the good sister, sideways
Privacy:Big Chaos

Oh no, the Devil has gotten to this one. Sister Dulcinea knows this to be true even before Aster eats the egg that bears his name. A chill goes down her feathered spine as Aster recounts her numerous sins, each worse than the last. Sister Dulcinea tells Aster to do 96 Hen Mary's and gives her a £25 gift certificate to Denny's. She writes out that it should be enough for the "All American Slam" and an eggs benny. Let Heather know Sister Dulcinea sent you. Get some egg protein, child!

And Aster wept.
On cue for like a second to make a show of gratitude for her absolution, and then it’s Denny’s time.
