EVENT - Egg Hunt
Spring is approaching fast and with it, warmer, sunnier weather as well. For some of the residents this specific time of the year may be associated with a holiday called "Easter." In the spirit of this season and such celebrations, Ruby City will be suffering some (hopefully!) pleasant changes. Early in the morning of Saturday the 30th, your characters will wake up to a pleasant atmosphere; There are birds chirping happily and melodiously outside, butterflies and other small critters, like butterflies or ladybugs, have been attracted by the many flowers adorning the streets - large, colourful arrangements can be found practically anywhere on the sidewalks, garlands are set up high between buildings and there is a pleasant, flowery scent all over.
On the city square, by the obelisk, there is a sign. It contains no words, but rather a simple drawing of an egg, with an interrogation mark - indicating an egg hunt.
There is no race, no limit, no prize for the ultimate winner, but if one is to search thoroughly, they will find eggs of all colours and patterns scattered around the most inconspicuous spots throughout the area.
Each egg contains a "prize"; an object, some candy, or a surprise of a wholly different nature. As the city's residents continue to hunt for them, the eggs' contents will gradually prove to be more and more surprising- Some may contain tiny trinkets from their home worlds, small keepsakes or souvenirs of beloved people or places, or other such memorabilia. As the hunt continues, some may even have much more... interesting treasures to reveal. Don't get greedy, though! There is such a thing as "too much"... As some of the eggs, which have been magically rigged to contain various monsters large and small, will prove.
The mini-event lasts throughout the weekend of March 30th and 31st, and upon its conclusion the city will return to its regular state. Characters are welcome to keep their gifts.
Due to the involvement of monsters in the egg hunt, this event may involve character death. Unlike with past events, however, the deaths inflicted in this plot will not reverse immediately upon the event's conclusion; Now, and in all future gameplay, there will be a mandatory ONE WEEK waiting period before character resurrection if a character in Ruby City should meet their demise. Please see this post for details on how death will work in Ruby City from 30-03-2013 onwards!

QUESTIONS / COMMENTS
Re: QUESTIONS / COMMENTS
Is there a hard limit to how many eggs a character can find before the eggs contain monsters? I assume there's some sort of number trigger considering there's a warning about not being too greedy. For example, is it possible for someone's first egg to be a monster rather than a candy or trinket prize?
edit: also, there's no prize for collecting the most correct? so it's just "collect these if you want". I wanted to make sure I read that right because I know some characters might need some sort of incentive to participate in something like this.
no subject
There's no concrete limit on the number of eggs you can find before they contain monsters, but given the capricious nature of the city, it wouldn't be too out of the ordinary to find one, perhaps depending on your character's disposition. i.e., characters like Alucard might actually consider a monster a worthy "prize!" It's judgment calls too, keep that in mind!
Nope, this isn't a competition so much as lighthearted fun! Its up to characters to go out and collect the eggs themselves, though even if they have no intention or no idea, they'll still be seeing these weird egg things everywhere. Curiosity killed the cat! (:
