It's not a rock, all right? We all know it's not a rock, fantasy authors.

You and your thread partner have found a dragon egg!

1. Unexpected treasure: You knew there was something in this box, but not that it was this...
   
2. Put that thing back or so help me! This is not what you signed up for. You would desperately like to get out of this game of very hot potato.
   
3. Hide it! Nefarious people are after the egg and you need to keep it from them.
   
4. Jackpot! You are nefarious people. This is great.
   
5. Sacred trust: You've been charged with this by someone or something.
   
6. Wildcard!

OOC: They're the best kind of friend you could ask for!

[ Honestly, at this point, unexpectedly ending up in an unfamiliar dimension with little warning is... becoming way too much of a familiar feeling to Yuzu. She's not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

In any case, the person that shoved the "dragon egg" into Serena's hands was gone before either of them could even begin to ask any questions. ]

I... uh...

[ She has no clue, Serena... it does look like wherever they've ended up, it's a pretty fantastical world (the fact that Serena is holding a glowing egg the size of her head only adds to that notion), but they're still standing out in the middle of nowhere.

In any case, Yuzu glances at the egg in Serena's arms... glowing an admittedly familiar combination of colors. Still, that has to be a coincidence, right? ]

It... it can't seriously be a dragon egg, can it?

[ She bends down to put her hands on the egg and... well, there's definitely a considerable amount of warmth pulsing off of it. ]

[The egg is pretty warm. Closer to hot than warm, if she were the one to be saying it. She's about as skeptical as Yuzu about it actually being a dragon egg. Dragons were just a thing that was in stories and legends and in Duel Monsters.

...Wait no that last thing completely invalidated the point, didn't it? Either way, they're here, in wherever-the-hell. With a egg. That's hot.]

We'll probably find out whenever this thing hatches. [She pauses, looking around the... well, forest that they seemed to be in. ]

We do have more important things to worry about. First thing is that we need to find the nearest town.

I guess so...

[ Honestly, more than the heat, there's something incredibly familiar about it... aside from the colors, that is. Thinking about it logically, having a dragon egg must come with a bunch of problems that neither of them are likely equipped to deal with, but... ]

Right! We need answers, after all, but... should we try to hide the egg? We'll probably attract attention carrying it around... and we were told to protect it after all.

[...Right, right, there was that whole 'guard the egg' thing. Which, uh, things had to be really bad if the guy would just hand it off to two random girls who literally just appeared out of nowhere. ]

I don't know how we're going to do that, we know nothing about where we are or where to go. So if we just hide it in some bushes we might not find it again...

[She thinks about it for another moment. ]

Also if the egg gets hot enough it might just set everything on fire and then we have a different problem.
