Six Geese A-Laying

[xp_bruiser]

Hey There Guys, Gals, and Non-Binary Pals!

I checked the Mystery-O-Matic vending machine today and it gave me a carton of six giant eggs! They're purple and blue and tan and pink. Anyway, I've got 'em under a heat lamp to see what happens.

Science!

it's on you to raise your alien chicks if they hatch.

are you ready for parenthood, Molly?

[xp_bruiser]

I raised a moose, Matty. Alien chicks? How hard could it be?

[xp_daredevil]

pretty sure that moose raised you

[xp_bruiser]

I'm gonna tell Wade you called him that. 😁

[xp_daredevil]

mmhmm

[xp_cypher]

It's like the advanced mode of that 'take care of an egg' parenting thing that sex ed classes do. XD

[xp_daredevil]

tomogatchi in real life.

did you do the egg baby thing? I did not.

[xp_cypher]

Suddenly I have this image of Molly as a Pokemon trainer.

And yeah, I had to do the whole 'don't have sex because babies are a big responsibility' project. Like, I get what it's going for, but so much bullshit.

[xp_daredevil]

lol, I bet she'd do alright with it.

I didn't have that project. others at school did, but not my class. no idea why.

[xp_bruiser]

OMG Pokemon trainer would be amazing!

[xp_hawkeye]

Everybody else, make sure you write down whatever you get out of the machine. I just got a weird 3D puzzle that looked like a dark green egg and broke apart into six geese-shaped figurines. I haven't figured out how to put them all back together to make the egg again, but I'm monitoring them.

This how we get green eggs and ham isn't it

I'm sitting here in Dallas, taking care of family time and business paperwork. And now I want to fly back to Westchester and take that thing apart.

[xp_mayhem]

...Molly and I could do that, unless you don't want to miss the fun.

[xp_forge]

Nothing about this Dallas trip could remotely be construed as fun.

If I'm not having fun, someone may as well be. Go ahead if the urge takes you.

[xp_mayhem]

You could have taken me and shown me the fun tourist stuff but nooooooo.

[xp_forge]

See, that would be fun.

Government contracting sucks. It's Paperwork O'Clock, every hour. Sigh. Yay, let's watch DARPA tell us that racism is bad. Like we hadn't figured that one out yet.

I swear, if BIA shows up I'm going to burn Dad's office building to the ground. And knowing him, he'll pour the gas and do a war dance.

[xp_mayhem]

It would be fun! Give you something to look forward to after all the paperwork. :)

[xp_forge]

This trip is not about fun.

It's mostly business with a strong side-order of parental guilt tripping. They don't get why I don't want to live in Texas.

[xp_mayhem]

Hmmm can't imagine why you wouldn't want to live in a state run by assholes. Also I'm here, and obviously you don't want to be too far from your best minion-unicorn-awesome lab friend.

[xp_forge]

Everything's better with minions!

[xp_mayhem]

It's true! And thanks for showing me the movies last night so I get the joke now. :p

[xp_bruiser]

But I won't wanna take it apart. It's cool!

[xp_forge]

Then don't. But still, something deeply weird is going on over there. I'll be back in a few days.

[xp_mayhem]

We could probably put it back together. I'm not scared to RTFM if there's instructions somewhere.
