"Holy, Moley!" Tiffany shouted. "Eggs!" and she pointed down off into the valley with her index finger.

"Just a lot of super-duper colored eggs. Sufferin Succotash!"

Shawn's eyes widened as he squinted off into the distance. Was there any way to the mountain that didn't go through the eggs? "Dragon eggs..."

Delilah paused. Shawn could well be right. She shifted her weight and the case onto her hip.

"No way! That dragon was ugly! And these eggs are pretty." Even if they weren't dragon's eggs, Delilah didn't want to tangle with the chicken who could lay eggs this size.

Still, they were pretty.

"There's no way to get around!" Bobby exclaimed, his voice carrying down into the valley of giant-sized eggs.

It was true. Eggs everywhere. As far as the eye could see, stretching out into the horizon and  probably beyond.

"Wh..wh..wh..wh..what do we do?" Ralph asked, turning to Shawn for direction.

"Maybe they have chocolate in them!" Tiffany announced, licking her lips and pausing from taking another bite of the Payday bar to ponder the thought.

"Well, I guess we should leave that up to our fearless leader. Since this was her idea." Shawn couldn't help but sound a little sarcastic as he looked at Delilah. Or a lot sarcastic.

Delilah harrumphed and turned on her heel. She set Mr. Clayton's case on the ground to climb atop of one of the eggs.

"We just have to get a get a good look around is all."

Delilah set the case down and shimmied up the egg, which was a good two feet off the ground. Her legs dangles against the smooth, yellow exterior shell. It was hard and clearly in no danger of breaking.

There was a brief gust of spring wind and...

There was an odd wind in the air. Shawn felt it rustle his hair as it blew through the grass. But that was it. He did not feel anything out of the ordinary.

---

Delilah looked around. Ralph suddenly covered his ears as the breeze blew among the giant eggs in the briar patch.

"NOOO!" Tiffany suddenly shouted, covering her hears and screaming out the single word as if she was trying to stop herself from hearing something she didn't like to hear.

"NO! NO! NO!"

Shawn didn't wait for Delilah or the others to react, or ask any questions about what was happening. He simply grabbed Bobby and Ralph by the hands and dragged them away from the eggs, looking around sharply to try and find anything out of the ordinary happening.

Delilah stopped in her tracks.

"What?? Who said that?" She turned on Tiffany, who was having a panic attack. "You heard it too?"

"Yeah! It's...It's...thoughts!" Tiffany yelled.

"What?" Bobby asked, not seeming to notice as Shawn grabbed his hand and Delilah and Tiffany shouted.

"Ss...s...something is strange h..h..h..here. I..i..i..think I h..h..here some..something. It's...l..l..like some kind of wh..wh..whisper. Like a bunch of wh..wh..whispers Shawn. They're ev..ev..ev..ev..ev..ev..ev..eveywhere." Ralph said, shaking his head.

Shawn couldn't hear anything, but he very much didn't want to. "Don't listen to them. Let's just get out of here!" He kept pulling them away from the eggs.

"Where are we gonna go?" Bobby fretted. "There are eggs everywhere. As far as....well as far as everywhere! Or as far as I can see. The only way to go is back where we came." Bobby commented.

Then he looked confused.

"Where did we come from again? I mean, where did we just come from?"

"Stupid eggs!" Penelope said, kicking at the egg that Delilah was sitting on, and then immediately regretting the decision, clutching her foot with both hands and sitting down, then rocking back and forth to wait the pain out.

The egg did not break.

Shawn hesitated for moment, looking back and forth for a route through the briar patch. He could run back the way they came, but they didn't have enough time to go all the way back to the fork. Was there a way through towards the mountain?

"Hey!"

Delilah crouched, ready to jump when Penelope kicked her egg. "Watch it!" What if it broke? Looking down, it seemed like Penny hurt herself.

"What did you do that for?" Delilah rapped her knuckles against the egg. Knocked on it to gauge how hard it was. Then she hopped down to check Penelope's ankle.

Can I make a medicine roll? I figure she'd at least know a sprain or a break if she saw one, even if she can't help.

OOC: Delilah May roll Dexterity + Medicine

"I think I'm alright." Penelope said, clutching her foot and gritting her teeth in pain.

"Help me up." She said, extending her hand.

Shawn could see a clear path through the eggs. Road that led towards the mountain ran through the Egg Briar patch. It was long and straight and stretched out into the horizon through rows and rows of lopsided eggs.
