A/N) Where Dashi decides that Easter means an Easter egg hunt across the Octopod and that everyone has to join in. Because that's just the sort of thing Dashi likes to do with her spare time.
Online: I'mOnIt, DynamicDiscoveries, CallMeCaptain, All4Fun, Safe&Secure
I'mOnIt: I think that maybe I'm going mad
DynamicDiscoveries: when did you reach that conclusion?
All4Fun: for the record I've known that for years
I'mOnIt: , oy, watch it kwaz
I'mOnIt: and the reason is that I just found an egg in the Gup A
CallMeCaptain: ... an egg?
I'mOnIt: an egg
DynamicDiscoveries: ... any particular kind of egg?
I'mOnIt: I didn't inspect it at length, but I think it's a chocolate egg
CallMeCaptain: either that or we have an escaped chicken on the Octopod
Safe&Secure: Maybe the sea snake came back and decided to lay her eggs here again?
All4Fun: yeah, because that went so well last time, didn't it?
I'mOnIt: somehow, I think that the fact they're wrapped up in shiny pink foil with chicks decorating it cancels that hypothesis out
DynamicDiscoveries: You're starting to sound like me XD
I'mOnIt: ... guys, I just found another one
I'mOnIt: it rolled under the Launch Bay desktop
I'mOnIt: this one's got a duckling on it
Safe&Secure: chocolate again?
I'mOnIt: only one way to find out...
I'mOnIt: ... mmm, yup, definitely chocolate :D
CallMeCaptain: I think I might know what's going on
All4Fun: jxdfgsjuufdg
I'mOnIt: Kwazii?
All4Fun: I just opened my wardrobe and four eggs fell out on top of me!
Safe&Secure: are you hurt?
All4Fun: thanks for the concern, Peso, but they're only chocolate eggs not cannonballs
CallMeCaptain: I just found one under my bed
Safe&Secure: the giant clam in the Sick Bay has just opened up and there's a egg inside his shell
DynamicDiscoveries: I just tripped over one
All4Fun: no surprise there then, shellington
DynamicDiscoveries: ;)

InkCloud: I don't usually ask, but is there a reason that I have just found eight wrapped eggs hiding behind various books up in the library?
CallMeCaptain: we're all finding them, professor
I'mOnIt: I've found another one in the engine room
DynamicDiscoveries: I just tripped over another one :S
DynamicDiscoveries: actually, I think it's the same one again
Safe&Secure: I think mine just hatched
CallMeCaptain: um - okay peso
Safe&Secure: oh wait, this one's a real egg
Safe&Secure: I'd better return it to its mum
Safe&Secure: whatever its mum is
CallMeCaptain: It must be Easter! I completely forgot
I'mOnIt: of course! Its time changes every year, and I always forget when it is
All4Fun: who really knows the date when you're travelling around the ocean?
I'mOnIt: but there is someone who would know when Easter is, like she somehow does for every single occasion all year around
I'mOnIt: and she also happens not to be here at the moment
Safe&Secure: Dashi!
I'mOnIt: Ya got it, Peso ;)

SweetAsSugar: hey guys, what's up?
CallMeCaptain: Dashi, have you been putting chocolate eggs all around the Octopod?
SweetAsSugar: hehe ... I thought it would take longer for you guys to notice
SweetAsSugar: Happy Easter, by the way
All4Fun: well, it's not hard to notice when there appears to be eggs everywhere
All4Fun: even with my amazing powers of observation
SweetAsSugar: I've set up an Easter egg hunt around the Octopod, like we always used to do when I was young with my family!
CallMeCaptain: oh that's really nice, Dashi :)
CallMeCaptain: certainly a very tasty surprise, anyway
SweetAsSugar: I knew you'd all enjoy it!
SweetAsSugar: I got up early this morning and started hiding eggs everywhere
SweetAsSugar: some are better hidden than others, I guess
I'mOnIt: but they're literally everywhere!
I'mOnIt: exactly how many did you get?
I'mOnIt: and how did you hide them all without any of us waking up?
SweetAsSugar: well, it's not exactly hard with you, Tweak, you sleep like a log
SweetAsSugar: I managed to slip one in your bed when you turned over
I'mOnIt: huh?
I'mOnIt: oh - you're right
SweetAsSugar: and i'm good at tiptoing around in the mornings
SweetAsSugar: as for how many - I ordered about a hundred, I think
CallMeCaptain: a hundred?!
DynamicDiscoveries: we're going to be finding eggs around the Octopod for months now
SweetAsSugar: hehe oops?
