le hasard, ma chère ♔ est le dieu de la maternité

[Tamaki is sitting on the Plane with two eggs. One is pink and flashy and sparkly and he doesn't seem to be paying too much attention to. The other one that has his attention has elegant patterns like those of the Ouran teacups, in all the colours of the Host Club's flowers. He is pouting staring at the egg and occasionally poking it, sighing every now and then as he waits for something to hatch from it.]

[He lightly hits Tamaki over the head.] Watched eggs don't hatch, idiot.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[he looks up, rubbing his head] It might. [he goes back to staring at the egg and pokes it again] Did you get one, too?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

Maybe. [He picks up the neglected egg.] They're meant to be incubated. You're too careless to be watching these.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[Tamaki considers this, and then takes off his jacket and wraps it up until it resembles a nest. He stands up to take back the egg and put into the makeshift nest]

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

Ah, but what about heat? You're too big to sit on them.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[he frowns at that]

I didn't think of that. Is there something we could use?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

I'm sure Haruhi knows many commoner techniques for heating.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

But Haruhi's not here right now.

Nothing bad will happen to it, right?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

Of course not. Haruhi should be on the Plane. You can call her.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Will something bad happen to the egg if I don't call Haruhi right now?

[oliverplus]

Your egg not hatching yet, Tamaki? [is carrying an egg of his own--sky blue with scattered silver sparkles in it]

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

Nothing bad has happened to it so far. ['idiot']

[Kyouya produces another egg from... somewhere and sets it down with the other two. This one has a shell of black and white spots.]

[lamb_of_gold]

[Mu's egg is bearing several long cracks, concentrated in one area, but whatever is inside, seems to have taken a rest for now.]

Unless I'm mistaken, most eggs prefer to be kept warm.

[Isaac is carrying his egg...but the top is already off, and inside is a brightly coloured chick that looks like it's a mix between a heron and a parrot. It is happily asleep.]

Nothing yet?

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

No. I guess it just needs more time. [he peeks up at Oliver's egg] Your egg hasn't hatched either?

[oliverplus]

[shakes his head] Nah, but we haven't had them long.

Did the Twins give you two? [gestures to the other egg]

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Oh? How do I keep them warm?

[lamb_of_gold]

Body heat tends to be the most effective means.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[he shakes his head, standing up to get a better look at Isaac's chick]

How long did yours take to hatch?

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay.

[he looks at Kyouya's egg, and pokes it to see if anything happens]

Yours hasn't hatched yet either?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[Isaac holds it out a bit to show him.] A few hours. It was pretty quick. I guess some of the eggs just aren't ready yet.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

I guess that makes sense.

[he looks at the other egg] No, not really. I'm just holding onto it for someone.

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

That's obvious, idiot.

[It occurs to him that the eggs look nicer in a nest together. It must be, of course, that spending resources individually on three eggs is less efficient than pooling resources and minimizing the necessary expenditures.]

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Is that how you got yours to start cracking?

[lamb_of_gold]

After I'd been holding it a few minutes, yes.
