[E3][SP-01] An Eggciting Egg Hunt <<Nature's Treasure>>


Recommended Posts

Cordelia found herself at the Garden again. Even if she had just finished gathering with Arabelle and Mari and Yuki, she figured it would be nice to have some alone time. . .  yeah, nice.

Gathering eggs with one's self couldn't be that bad, right? Right? She shook her head silently. No, it was going to be bad, but she knew that she needed time to think, just for a bit. With everything going on, she wasn't sure she could keep up. This new event-- Oscar's proposal, the upcoming boss raid. . .. she was afraid that the stress was just going to snap her in half.

Cordelia buried her face in her hands as she let out a long sigh. She shouldn't let herself get too caught up with it. Who thinks about boss raids and marriage while egg hunting? Well, her apparently. No, she refused to get stressed now! She had some eggs to collect!

Cordelia twirled the weaved basket around in her hands. She had honestly never done an egg hunt before, and she could see why. Of course, she was sure that little kids would love to play this-- or something, well, maybe not for uh-- weapons or armor. She could've found herself enjoying this when she was young. It was a nice change of pace. She had just finished a whole questline and it was nice to do something other than fighting for once. Of course, she loved stabbing her katana into things but she could only do it so much before she started to grow tired of the same old setting. 

Cordelia crouched down, tilting her head when she spotted a few beautifully decorated eggs between two shrubs, Kayaba certainly did put some work into this, didn't he? Cordelia let out a drawn out sigh. How such a psychopathic man could create such a masterpiece is beyond her.

Cordelia scooped up the eggs and placed them in her basket. Only. . . eleven. She groaned. That-- wasn't bad. Coupled with the other eggs she had gotten with Yuki and Arabelle and Mari, that wasn't bad at all. She only needed a hundred and fifty for the Bunny Stamp, right? This will be easy, peasy! She was already about a fifteenth of the way there and it hasn't even been five minutes yet!

Maybe she could even afford some of the other things like the reroll tickets, or maybe some of the materials-- she honestly needed those. It was free materials, right?

Cordelia placed down her basket and stretched her arms behind her back. Heck, maybe she could get all hundred and fifty eggs in one go! If she was lucky enough-- though she was pretty sure was not-- she could get it in a few minutes if she really wanted to!

Another handful of eggs went into her basket as she spotted some behind the crook of a tree. . . these are chocolate, right? Why not just have some regular plastic eggs? It's not like she was going to eat them. Were the Egg Boys going to eat them? All hundred and fifty of the eggs she was going to collect and possibly even more? That was outrageous, but then again, they were NPCs, and then again, your body weight doesn't really get affected by anything you eat in her, anyway. Perks of being stuck in a video game, she supposed?

Cordelia stared at her basket and sighed. She wondered how exactly Kayaba had managed to get all of the spots for the eggs, too. They were cleverly hidden but not to the point where it was near impossible to find them, and they weren't hidden right on the grass where everyone could see it.

She supposed it was just good coding? Whatever, she didn't know anything about that kind of stuff. She just supposed he was good game designer. He was too good of a game designer. In fact, he was a bloody genius! 

Cordelia chuckled. She never thought she would be the type of person to praise a person who trapped her in a video with swords and creatures that absolutely made no sense, but she was weird-- so she guessed that explained it. . . somewhat, anyway.

It appeared that these things came in clumps, as well. She had yet to ever find one all by itself. Six eggs? That was honestly a lot to find in just one finding. Cordelia plopped them into her woven basket and pursed her lips.

She was going to need a bigger basket. Or maybe a sack. Or maybe just several baskets? She wasn't sure how many baskets she could carry. . .

Perhaps a sack would be the better choice-- but she honestly figured that she was going to have back pains later that day if she was going to carry a bloody sack around. . . maybe she should just collect them with one basket and dump them in a sack when it gets full or something. . .

That sounded like a very dumb yet solid plan, and it was the best that she had, so she was going to roll with it. . . like a champ.

Cordelia exhaled, finding another bundle of eggs huddled together behind some brightly colored cosmos. Perhaps looking in a garden wasn't the best idea given how everything here was brightly colored. That certainly does seem like a pickle. She shrugged. Nah, she consumed a whole bowl of lucky ramen before this, she'll be absolutely fine. She's got somewhat of a keen eye. Even without. . . Pacco number one being her eyes.

She wasn't sure why she was having such luck with finding eggs. . . it was honestly so weird to her, especially after having so much unlucky things happen to her lately-- well, combat wise. She felt super lucky outside of that, though. She. . . she was engaged.

She let out a lacey exhale. Never in a million years would she ever imagine anyone loving her so much that they'd want to spend their whole lives with her. She was a train-wreck, seriously, and that was coming from her herself! It was certainly a happy thought, but damn it was still a surprise.

Cordelia smiled almost giddily to herself. There was no other person she would rather spend her life with than Oscar, and she knew that for a fact. Nothing could cloud her decision on this. . . though she was. . . afraid. She and Oscar were both capable fighters-- but how was she sure that both of them were going to survive the floor raid boss?

She wasn't.

Cordelia smile softly, a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. If it were up to her, she would much rather die instead of Oscar-- something that she would never tell him herself. She felt like a lost soul before she had met him, and he seemed to brighten up her life to the point where she actually wanted to get out of her for him. So she wouldn't have to only be with him confined in a virtual world, so she could physically be with him.

But if he were to die, what would even be the point of going on? She sighed, feeling her knees get weak. It was a dark thought, yes, but she couldn't stop herself from thinking it.

"So you gotta promise me that even if something we to happen, you'll keep going."

She wasn't sure how she could promise something like that, especially to Oscar.

A short sigh escaped her. She shouldn't be thinking about this now, it was going to hinder her progress. She shook her head, resuming back to her very serious egg hunting. 

Cordelia leaned down again, examining a couple of eggs hidden away in a loose pile of leaves. Suddenly she didn't feel as motivated to do this. Hot air blew out from her nose as she shook her head. It was way too late to be going back now. She was just going to have to cheer herself up or deal with it whether she liked it or not.

She gulped, scooping the eggs back into her basket again. How many was that now? It definitely had to be more than thirty by now, right? Cordelia sighed, holding out the basket in front of her. Maybe she should've asked Oscar to come with her. . . it would be nice to talk with him while gathering.

Cordelia sat herself at the base of a tree and sighed. She needed a break. Somehow, collecting eggs tired her out more than actual combat-- which was. . . odd, to say the least. She never thought she would be more tired from collecting eggs than. . . let's say, fighting a giant mountain. 

She leaned her head back on a tree and bit her lip. How exhausting. . . How could picking up chocolate eggs be so physically draining? It was honestly a little bit embarrassing! Cordelia yawned, leaning her chin on her palms which were propped up on her knees. Maybe she should've asked someone to join her. It was getting a little bit lonely. You can only gather so many chocolate eggs before you start to go super crazy. She wasn't sure if she could ever look at a brightly colored ovoid without crying-- that was a joke of course. . . a very, serious joke.

She sighed, tilting her head from side to side with a bored expression. Seriously, how could kids do this all day? She could barely last five minutes, even if she was getting an extraordinary amount of eggs. There was nothing fun out of this. Maybe it was because of candy or something. Would she like candy instead of those godly items? Possibly, possibly, but these items were more of a literal need instead of a want. She could seriously blaze her way through the frontlines if she were to get incredibly lucky with that Easter Bunny's favor. Imagine another holy slot! Or perhaps even absolute accuracy! Jesus, she was going to be so happy to never ever, ever miss again.

Though, she'd honestly prefer another holy slot. She had no use for burn at this point. It was a good enhancement and all but she wasn't striving to be a DoT dealer. Just. . . straight burst damage. Kill em' all in one shot, she supposed.

She sighed, stretching her arms above her head as she leaned against another tree. How much more did she even need-- a few dozen? A few hundred? She sighed, flopping herself on the grass. Why was she still here. Why was she still doing this? Why, why, why. 

She wheezed. Why wasn't she at home. Napping. Sleeping. Literally anything else. She rolled around. Good lord, how much more was she going to have to endure this pain. She rolled her head forward. Maybe she should just take a nap-- no! She needed-- she needed this eggs now. She needed these items now. Well, maybe not now, but-- she wanted them soon. Holy slot, absolute accuracy. She desperately wanted them soon. 

No! Screw it! She was going home. She would much rather risk some gear over her sanity. Yep, it was decided! She was going to go home! Screw this! Goodbye Garden! And home, here she comes!
