Nomi was finally here. What was better in life than doing some hunting? She couldn't think of anything. Just the fact of being here to hunt for some eggs was making her feel really happy. Hunting was her favorite activity. There was nothing she loved more than this. She had took her time to find the island and she had found it. Now that she had finished 'hunting' the island, she could start hunting the eggs. She really hoped she would be able to find some beautiful ones. With all kinds of colors and maybe, that rumored 'special egg'.

Odel had been sitting around in the back yard of the Habitat known as 'The Heart'. The White scented petals of the jasmine bushes danced across the ground with the wind. His eyes were closed and he was enjoying the day when the vine covered side gate that opened to the garden like property opened to reveal an almost unexpected visitor. Sporting her usual bright attire, Okko skipped down the packed gravel path that winded past the Willow Odel laid under. She stopped in front of the relaxing War God and grinned brightly, wielding a white and blue little book. Odel opened an eye to look at her and her item of interest. A little grunt left him, "what now" his deep voice asked. Okko giggled, "T'day's Easter ya know." "yes. I do know that. And I'm trying to enjoy it." scowled Odel. Okko beamed, "weeellll, what's more enjoyable then an easter egg hunt?!" Odel opned both eyes and glared at her, "lots of thing. Sleeping- fighting, plotting, strategizing, forging weapons-" "well those are all fun 'n all. But I payed for this and you're my way up there. I'm sure you've heard that those that can't fly can't get up to Reintora." Okko explained "Then take Mishka." replied Odel moodily. Okko shook her head, "no can do- she's off in the markets still. I need you to take me." Odel fought himself so not to protest, "and how long will we be gone exactly?" Okko jumped for joy seeing this reply as an affirmative and then gathered her reply, "a couple days maybe?" she mumbled. Odel stood up grudgingly, "let's just get this over with then." he said as a red cloud suddenly engulfed the two. Still in the same positions they were in at The Heart, a few jasmine petals from the garden fluttered past them as the two found themselves standing before a massive tropical forest with a large stream flowing out of it. It was when Okko turned around to see what stood behind them that she found that the two were but three feet from the edge of the legendary Island in the Sky, Reintora. With a big grin, Okko tucked her Passport into her nest of hair and began to skip ahead, "hehe- c'mon Odel! Let's get some Eggs!" she mused as she headed for the forest.

"Come on Chrno!" the priestess complained to the god of mischief. "There's no reason to just let this sit around! It was paid for, so you should come with me!" She had resently, through the lady that allowed them to stay at her house as they wished, received a passport to travel up to Reintora Island to search for eggs. As always, she was either bickering at Chrno or forcing him into doing as she wished. Kinda odd when he was the one that was a god. The 'Sinner' was clinging to a tree, quite unhappy to be brought along anywhere with Rosette. She was loud and always tried to keep him from having a bit of fun. God of Mischief! It was his bloody job! And she wanted to take it all from him. While he clung, she pulled - On both his tail and braid. Moments later, still clinging for his 'life', the Lollio realized something. If there were others up there, that meant getting to play pranks on them. Without warning he let of of the tree, colliding with Rosette as she jerked on his tail once again. "Alright. Alright. Let's get going..." he grumbled, making it seem like he didn't want to go. The Lollia grinned and took hold of his paw before darting into the air, dragging him along with her. Within a few moments they were they, standing next to one another. "I... could've just poofed us up here..." Chrno muttered, as if trying to point out that she was rather stupid for making him fly all that way. "Well too bad Mister Lazy Bones! You should actually fly more often or else you're gonna get fat!" More and more words were exchanged between the two as they just kept on bickering.

Nomi knew she wouldn't be the only one to search the eggs. She had already decided that she would do as if it wasn't disturbing her at all. Anyway, why would she be disturb only by a few other hunters, it wasn't like there was only one egg in the whole island. She would surely get one sooner or later. There was no way she would go back without one of those eggs. She had come here only for that and nothing would stop her. She was really determined to find the best egg.
Now it was time to start the search. She wouldn't find anything by staying there and waiting. She looked around her, she was at the edge of a huge forest. Some would say that it was a tropical forest, but every forest was the same in the end: a huge place with a lot of trees. Hunting some eggs wouldn't be easy in that kind of environment, but when you know what you're searching for and that it definitely is there, you can find it.

Okko reached the forest's edge when she suddenly stopped to se Odel was already caught up with her, "hey- I just thought about something... Where would eggs most likely be?" Odel stood there and shook his head at Okko irritatedly, "use your brain you idiot. An egg is commonly in three places if laid: in a tree or bush wit in a nest, amongst tall grass- also in a nest, and in or near the water." Okko's face brightened, "hey you're right! Where would I be with out you?" she giggled and then turned her face to the cool shade of the forest and looked into the tangled tree branches and vines above her, "I don't think it would be nice if we stole eggies from a nest though... where would we find Easter eggs then?" Odel sighed, "any where and everywhere. Just keep your eyes pealed." Okko looked at him in horror, "that sounds painful!" Odel rlled his eyes and walked into the forest. "just keep them open and looking, ok?" Okko giggled and skipped to catch up with him, "ok!"

Rosette's eyes suddenly landed on something and she stood up on two legs to get a better look then how she had been on all four, growling at Chrno. "Hey, look Chrno! A human!" Okay, not that humans were a rare sight or anything. She did live with one after all...
The God of Mischief peered over his 'friend' and looked out at the human. She wasn't what caught his eyes though. He raised a brow, looking at the Lollio that was with her. Odel? What was the god of War doing there? This seemed like a.. peaceful event. Not exactly something one that liked war would enjoy. He shook the thought off and spoke, "Just get to searching already, woman! No use in dragging me out here if you're just going to stand around."
"Yeah yeah..." the Lollia grumbled, jumping into a tree and begining to glance about.

Odel casually looked around him before stopping everything. His senses were detecting others in the near by area... And if that wasn't enough... The presence of Mischief certainly was. 'Oh for the love of- what now.. is he going to try crashing this whole bloody island into the sea?!' panicked Odel mildly, what ever Chrno's intentions, Odel was going to have to keep a close eye on the mischievous Lollio God. Okko, who was crawling around on her hands an knees randomly being distracted by an ant line and following it around before being distracted by pretty flowers.. then "ooh look! a shiney!" Odel growled at her idiocy, "Okko-" "awe it's just a rock" she whinned she she spat it out of her mouth and rubbed her cheek, "that hurt my teeth." Odel felt irritation bubble up in him, "OKKO." he sad more forcefully. Okko turned to him, "hah?" Odel sighed, "I think we should head more in that direction." he said meaning the general direction he found Chrno to be in. Okko stood up and patted the soot off of her hands and knees, "ok!" she said as she began to skip away. Odel followed moodily behind.

Rosette jumped back down, shaking herself off. "Umm... yeah. Sometimes trees aren't the best thing..." Turned out the only egg she found was a nest, and the parents had attacked her for so much as glancing at them. "And what are you doing still standing around?!" She was rather annoyed now.
"I'm going.. I'm going..." the Lollio muttered, not wanting to be pestered by the Lollia. Seemed like that happened every day though...
The God of Mischief jumped into a bush and began looking around inside of it. It was rather nice when you could make your body go through things if you wanted. No hassle of thorns catching his fur as he looked... and maybe the other God and the girl wouldn't see him. they he'd be able to play a prank on the girl.

Okko's head poked up from it's down casted search to the figure not far off that had just come down from a tree. Looking back at Odel she exclaimed louder then he would have liked, "Hey Odel! There's some one over there!! Let's go say hi!" Odel's ears twitched with his tail at Okko's sudden decision, "I dunno- they seem to be egg hunting too. Maybe we should leave the alone." he said quick wittedly. Okko stopped in her tracks and jumped behind a shrubbery with her hand over her mouth with a gasp. She removed her hands when Odel walked close enough for her to whisper, "you're right! That would be rude!!" Odel rolled his eyes, "and your exclamations earlier weren't any better." Okko gave a sorry smile, "eheh.. you're right. Better leave um a lone then." she said as she stood up in a crouched position to sneak away and hopefully not disturb anyone else.
After they'd passed enough trees to be basically out of sight, Okko's idiocy didn't watse anytime in kicking back in as she dive bombed another rock only to stand back up in disappointment, "these rocks sure are tricky." she mumbled.

Nomi had been seeing a lot of weird rocks. Some of then had been colored, as if someone wanted them to think they were eggs. She had looked around a lot, but had not found anything. It didn't seemed like there was anyone near of her either. Maybe the other people were too far from her right now. She thought once or twice that she had heard someone, but she didn't decided to go look if there was anything. Even if there was other hunters in here, it wouldn't logically be the best idea to go where the others are. There would be less chances for her to find some eggs. The search would become harder. There was also a second thought that come to her mind. If she decided to hunt with someone else, it would be more fun and she would have someone to talk to. The more she was thinking about it, the more she wanted to hunt with someone else. She finally decided that if she were to hear anything again, she would go look. If there was nothing, she would just continue searching, but if someone was there, she would ask if she could go with them.

Chrno forced himself to keep from laughing, watching Okko go back to being rather goofy. He was rather glad that Odel hadn't pointed him out, seeing as how he could probably sense his presence already. While they weren't watching he'd hop from one bush to another, getting close to them with each jump. Meanwhile, Rosette had no clue at all. She figured he was just looking for eggs within the same old bush he had been in, and was thus off searching on her own.
Rosette was slow and careful with her searching. She wanted to be careful incase they were real eggs that she found, that way she could just put them back and let the parents take care of them. This eventually led her to staring into the water, checking to see if there were any eggs in there. It was certainly possible for them to be hidden there, right? If not that was okay. She'd just look elsewhere.
Rather carefully, Chrno managed to get ahead of them and place a few fake eggs hidden in the rocks. He had to be quick enough to get back into the bushes so that Okko wouldn't see him. The moment she grabbed them, if she did, they'd explode into clouds of ash. Harmless, but very messy.

Okko was stupidly grabbing shiny rocks, putting them in her mouth, bitting and spitting them out, "patooi! Odel... either Eggies are getting really hard, or rocks are masterminds at disguises!" Odel rolled his eyes at the bubbly idiot, "or maybe you should just stop putting rocks in your mouth?" Okko stuck her tongue out at him, "hey- I'm making sure they're not covered in dirt at least!" Odel's senses must have been failing or he needed to be on high alert- for the God of Mischief seemed to be on the move. His sharp eyes kept watch of Okko's and his own surroundings. What ever Chrno was plotting- it wasn't going to work! However, in his moment of scanning the area he failed to inform Okko of his suspicions and of course- the promising failure that was Okko at the moment, had to dive bomb the first 'no doubt about it' egg she saw. decided she could never be too careful she popped the sucker in her mouth, finding it a little too big to fit all the way and hence forced to have it half down her throat then-BOOM! Odel scampered to the now dancing Okko who had her hands over her face and smoke commng out her nose. Her eyes watered as she wiggled around in surprise- not quite pain.. but the smoke was gaging her. With out a second thought Odel Began Poofing her around, "water! you need water!" he exclaimed to the coughing Okko. Frantically, he teleport Okko and himself around until -STOOSH!- "good thing I float..." mumbled Odel as he looked down at the now nearly drowning Okko who was not expecting to fall into the water. After she gaged on a little bit of what seemed to be pond water Odel poofed her to land with a snort of humor. "that's one way to do it." he commended himself, only to realize a second later that he and Okko were now stationed directly next to a blue Lollia.. A priestess by the looks of her. "ODEL!!!" Okko croaked loudly, "that was NOT funny!" she scolded him, "eggs aren't supposed to pop! That MUST have been an assassin eggy!" she gasped in her new realization, "gah! They're suicidal!!! That's it.. the next time I find an eggy it's getting some serious counseling dag-nabit!" she flailed. completely clueless to her surroundings and seemingly already forgetting her little incident in the pond. Odel ignored Okko's ranting, "I assume you're with Chrno?" he said with a nod to the Lollia who no doubt noticed himself and Okko by now.

Nomi was surprised by a huge boom. Now she couldn't be mistaken. There was someone around here. There must be. She was going to go see. She started to walk toward where she had heard all that noise. She was obviously watching around her in case she was going to spot some eggs. She knew that the eggs could be anywhere, if she wasn't searching, she wouldn't find any. She needed to search. That was the only thing she could do right now. She was wondering what kind of people she was going to meet when she would arrive. She hoped none of them would be evil. She was sure it wasn't only one person. Nothing could explode by itself like that. there had to be at least two or three creatures other than he around here. She was wondering how far they were. She was doing another hunt now. She was hunting for eggs and for other people that were hunting eggs. That was kind a funny, a hunter that hunts hunters while hunting.

Once they were out of sight Chrno fell out of the bush, laughing. To think that Odel had actually allowed the one he lived with to fall for such an easy trick. He wiped the tears from his eyes from having laughed so hard. "Geeze I love my life.." she muttered, still chuckling a bit. But where had they gotten to? He hopped up, leaping into the air and scanning through the trees. Might as well keep an eye out incase he did spot an egg. Then Rosette wouldn't get too terribly mad at him.
As Odel and Okko fell into the water they weren't the only victims. Since she had been sitting at the water's edge, she got soaked from the water splashing up. Soaked with her ears hanging down, she looked over at the two that were now out of the water, rather confused looking. "Uh... I suppose you could say so... But... Looks like he got away." Her words were slow, seeming as if she had no clue what was going on. She figured from the screams and what not that Chrno had caused some sort of trouble. Didn't know what... but knew he did it.
Suddenly she wasn't looking at them anymore. Nope. Instead she slammed into the water as a purple furball with tiny devil wings slammed into her. "Got ya Rosette!" he exclaimed, watching the Lollia fall into the water and fail about to grab hold of the water's edge once again. She jumped out and glared at the god. "Chrno! What have I t-" from there she just growled. It was no use and she knew it. He wasn't listening. He was too busy laughing.

Okko blinked at the actions displayed. Purple... she crawled over to the Purple odd Lollio God and attempted to poke him "hey- that wasn't very nice" she mumbled, referring to the Lollia in the pond. Okko's own hair was already drying and returning to it's usual puffyness while the rest of her clothes were down right sopping wet. Odel walked around Okko and out himself in between Okko and Chrno so to prevent the mischievous one from pranking any farther for the moment. A warrior was never one for fun and games and he failed to see the humor in it all, "I'll never understand why the God of Mischief could be even slightly vital to the balances of this world." he thought out loud.
Okko flailed and then gaped, "whoa! You're a God?! Cool! You're way funner then Odel 'the stiff' God of Mr. Grumpy face" Okko puffed up her own expression to suit a more extreme version of Odel's usual scowl. Okko's A.D.D moment sprang in as she then hopped in a weird manner over to the Lollia, "are you ok?! Hey- while you were down there.. did you see any eggs by any chance?" she asked as an after thought as she peered into the water curiously. Odel being sure to still be the one between Chrno and Okko... Just in case.
