The Eggbaby Meme

"Each of your Eggbabies has a built in computer which registers the amount of care-- or lack of care-- it's given. These readings will determine your grade. As you can see the babies exhibit a wide range of emotions and expressions in need. It's your job to fill those needs."


How to:
✦ Leave a comment with your character's name and fandom. Others will reply.
✦ Congratulations, the two of you are now in charge of an Eggbaby. You can pretend it's for class or, for those who aren't in school, you can assume the baby is some sort of important mission. It is your job to take care of and keep the baby happy. If you drop the baby, you fail. You can not turn it off. Remember, this is a joint effort. This is a very important assignment that determines if you pass/fail the class or save the world.
✦ You can RNG a number between 1 and 8 to find out what kind of situation you're in.
✦ Good luck!

Options:
1. Other plans. You had other plans but now you aren't sure if you can do them because of this baby. Try to convince your partner to do you a favor or else you'll have to drag the baby along with you.
2. Broke baby. Something is seriously wrong with this baby. It won't stop crying no matter what you do and you really wish this thing had an off switch.
3. Lost baby. What do you mean where's the baby? Don't you have it? Wait, you mean, you don't? FU-- WHERE'S THE BABY?!
4. Perfect baby. Your baby never cries. In fact, it doesn't really do much of anything. Wow, this project sure is easy! …Dude, it keeps staring at me.
5. Not my baby. This isn't your baby but you're watching it for a friend until they get back from that super important meeting. They've been gone all day and you hope they'll get back soon.
6. Twins. You're taking care of your baby and someone else's baby. (bonus option: you're taking care of another baby and another and another and another…)
7. MY BABYYYY! What the hell did you do? Your baby is broken. You've failed your assignment. Maybe you can put it together and no one will ever notice or try to steal someone else's baby.
8. Crack baby. Roll again, combine prompts, or make up your own scenario.

I don't understand the point of this. This object is not alive.

[He can't muster up the empathy to pretend it is okay he has to reserve the limited amount he has for actual people.]
thunderboltsandlightning: (confused)

I don't know what I'm doing

[Thor doesn't answer. He's concentrating too hard, holding the egg in the palm of one large hand.[

Something beautiful~

[Castiel leans a little closer, peering intently at the eggbaby, watching it for a few seconds until the thing suddenly starts screaming like it's been stabbed.

Castiel briefly wishes he had stabbed it. Then at least this would be warranted.]


It is supposed to simulate a human child, correct? What makes a child stop this?

[He has no idea. Surely Thor does.]

[The crease in his brow deepens before he gives the thing a mighty good shake.]

It malfunctions!

[It just screams louder, and Castiel is pretty sure that if it increases pitch any more it will soon sound like an angel's true voice.]

I don't believe shaking it is helping.

[With a grunt, he hands the now annoying creature off to Castiel and leans down, hands on his knees, to stare at it.]

Perhaps he longs for battle.

[He takes it awkwardly, like he thinks he's going to break it, because this is not his area of expertise.]

It isn't alive.

[It can't long for anything, okay, except maybe to be punted half a city block away.]
thunderboltsandlightning: (wink)

[personal profile] thunderboltsandlightning 2012-09-15 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
You have said this many times and yet I hear him cry.

[And for some reason that makes him grin.]

A good set of lungs means that he will soon be ready to take on young rams. This is a good day, Castiel!

[personal profile] ofthursday 2012-09-15 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. Of course.

[Castiel's sarcasm gets rare use, but it's warranted. He scowls down at the little eggthing, still as a statue otherwise as usual, and surprisingly enough it soon stops crying.]

...It is quiet.

[He did that happen and how can they keep it that way?]
