The Eggs!!!
Ain't No Party Like an Igen Party Egg Cuz And Igen Party Don't Stop Egg
Psychedelic blues and greens make this egg almost painful to look at for too long. The laser-like colours mix in a dizzying array that seem to puse with it's own beat something like 1-2-3-4 that just makes someone want to ~dance~. Don't you want to be gettin' on the dance floor now?
Snips and snails and puppy dog tails may be what little boys are made of, but don’t tell this egg that! Periwinkle ribbons and pastel bunting swirl along the surface of this egg, along with assorted itty bitty baby booties, rattles, pacifiers and all other manner of newborn things in all shades of pastel BLUE. It looks like this egg is fully stocked for a picture perfect nursery.
Blood Swept Land and Seas of Red Egg
Spring green fields softly envelope the surface of this egg, tranquil and still. From the verdant meadows spring rows upon rows of countless crimson flowers. The only thing to interrupt the bloody coverage of foliage is perfectly uniformed slabs of marble inscribed with details to remember all the fallen.
Ice and snow have been meticulously gathered and sculpted to make this delightfully chilly-looking egg's shell. Palest shades of wintry blue and the purest of whites come together to craft the illusion of far more frigid materials used. Shadow and light play across the surface to give further impression that its been carved and cut into, in a myriad of fanciful designs… or is it a creature of some sort?
You've been a naughty, naughty person, haven't you? Compared to many of the festive and bright colored eggs of this clutch, THIS one seems content to be the literal black sheep. Dark and darkest is the surface of this shell, smooth as pitch until the very top where subtle variations in shade give a rougher texture. Surely those aren't a twin pair of horns?
Pristine and endless, crystal clear blue covers most of this shell, a perfect replica of a crisp autumn morning without a cloud to be seen. At the base of the egg, nearly obscured by the sand heaped around it is a hint of leafy green and from this meadow launches first one, then a handful of odd sphere shapes of every color and pattern imaginable until eventually the far side is practically a fiesta of pigmentation.
Plush scarlet coats the surface of the egg, giving it a striking appearance to a Lady Holder’s prized jewelry box. Especially considering nestled in the vermilion cushions appear to be countless baubles of gold, sapphire and ruby. Strands of perfectly uniform pearls twist and turn throughout the display. Light reflects off the shell as if it truly is metallic, inviting one ever closer to the treasures it holds. Because really, don’t you deserve to treat yourself?
On your mark. Get set. GOOOOOO! Or not. Those crisp, individual lanes that curve around the surface of this egg seem to have little bearing on the oddly, but endearingly, elongated canines that are sprinting every which way but straight from the checkered flags that seem to be waving at the starting point of this particular ovoid.
If one didn't know any better, it could be said that this shell is made of bleached bone. Off white, beige and earthen tones of brown all come together in stark contrast to form the shape of a runner's skull. What truly makes it garish (or comedic) are the festive colors thrown in — almost as though someone decorated said macabre piece. A splash of metallic green here for the 'eyes', some red and orange ribbons near the back of the skull and voila! A truly bizarre masterpiece!
From the heat of ever burning flames, molten gold, silver and bronze coalesce to give this shell its shape. The craftsmanship in this egg is beyond compare, something a Mastersmith must dream about in the hours and hours and hours to get to the peak of his craft. The polished metallic parts that combine in perfect unison surely is something Igen and all of Pern can be proud of.
Ebbing sunset shrouds the upper dome of this egg in steadily darkening blue, a day-lit sky descending gradually into twilight where a single roundel of pale silver glows. Shadow claims the wide base upon which it sits, a massif of dark, stony umber rising from the darkness to break the horizon line between day and night. But stand by the grey splotch crowned by one dot of ruddy gold when curiosity knocks and peer along the streak of luminance that issues from it, following it around to find a tiny block dot that looks remarkably like…a keyhole.
Upon a shell bathed in deep, rich midnight blue, two parallel lines of warmly glowing golden dots march in an ethereal spiral from the base to the tip. A faint spray of shimmering silver glints like stars throughout, and if one looks closely, faint shadows seem to be visible between the lines of golden lights - pilgrims guided onward between the safe beacons of candles and torches to an unseen haven.
What Happens at the Aftershow, Stays at the Aftershow Egg
This egg looks, for lack of a better word, messy. The odd flash of white background is visible here and there, but it's lost in everything else that's going on. On one part of the shell there's a muddle of brass, silver, and wood colours; running here there and everywhere are fuzzy shapes rather like people, taking up every available space. And splashed liberally around are the golden browns of lager, bright colours of cocktails, and the sheen of pure spirits. Does the egg also smell faintly of pizza?
Food, food, and more food! If ever an egg celebrated eating to the excess, it's this one! The very bottom of the shell is the brown of wood, a sturdy table to hold a feast. The forms of so many enticing dishes can be made out on the shell: that looks like a turkey, glistening; that there piles of vegetables; there, a whole roast boar with the red spot of an apple in its mouth. Everywhere is gravy, flowing freely to drape the egg in delicious streams and pools. As one's eye moves up towards the egg's top, the dishes become distinctly paler and sweeter, the impression of all manner of desserts there, studded with strawberries and blackberries; thick creams and purple plums. The raucous noise of a hall filled with revellers is almost audible; the clank of tankards, singing growing louder as the ale flows. What an event!
A first glance at this egg reveals utter blandness. It's all cream dotted with specks of brown and just totally boring! But wait, look closer and you just mind find something you like. A splash of chocolate brown there; a drizzle of lemony yellow here; look, shapes that look like delicious fruits! Is that a dusting of white icing sugar? That squiggle is the shiny brown of maple syrup, and is that…rashers of bacon?? Whatever is going on with this egg, there's something for everyone!
Endless row after row of neatly tilled crops cultivate the shell of this egg. But careful as the farmer might have been in planting, all is not well for the fluffy white cotton plants waiting to be harvested. A dark cloud of writhing, living mass crowns the top of this egg, descending on the fields below and wrecking havoc. But look, out of the withered remains hope can still be found. The mighty legume reigns supreme, as peculiar as the waffle-ish weave that dots the nut on the remainder of this shell might be.
New life — and hope — springs eternal in the pastel swirls that sweep over this egg's shell, from pink to green, to blue; bright sparks of pale yellow sprinkle over the curves of the egg like unicorn dust, sparkling and gleeful. But what's this? A hint of foolery in the way that one little white blotch near the egg's top seems to constantly shift, from fish, to fowl, to a rabbit or a small chick. Another splotch of virulent green and purple splatters, like a jester's hat, on one side, complete with brass tips like jingle bells.
Rays of every shade green imaginable fan across the smooth surface of this egg, entwining and overlapping, like some dense foliage that gives a false sense of depth into the egg, an optical illusion one could easily get lost in. A light dusting of purple and oranges add a touch of contrast to the verdant spears. From the bottom rises, to swirl and mingle among the greenery, faint wispy tendrils, pale and insubstantial, flowing on unseen currents of air through nooks and crevices created by the busy patterning, lending the whole a decidedly hazy feel.
Byzantine paths of ancient cobblestones are made even more confusing by the haphazardly placed lumber that curve around the form of this egg. A cloud of dust rises from the side, heralding the arrival of runners all in white followed closely behind by flashes of red and the glimpse of horns. Here come the bulls!
Luscious reds and pastel pinks twist and streetch into the shape of this egg. Among the twined cords of taffy, boxes of purple and pink shake and truffley treats sit temptingly near. Whatever treat your heart desires might be found on this garishly bright shell, but careful! The sugar coma will hit and hit hard leaving you all zzzzz…….
Rumpled, crumpled and a serious case of bed-head — this egg has it all! Never fear, the shell is perfectly smooth but the play of light and shadow between less than crisp white bedsheets make it appear otherwise.
Nut-brown lines criss cross the shell of this egg, each twining over the other not unlike the weaving of a bush. Smaller strokes end in sharp pointed thorns and while foreboding, the oddest of oddities be the sudden emergence of spring yellows. Blooms! Small bundles of flower-shapes dot the otherwise barren and drab looking egg.
All along the wide base, variating shades of brown rise upwards as if stacked like so many long pieces of wood. Wisps of smokey grey curl about the bottom and drift upwards towards a bright spring blue sky and… wait a minute. Is that a snowman perched on top like an effigy awaiting sacrifice?
