Egg Dying

[asoncalledgabriel]

Easter is coming, and Gabriel wants to do something... Eastery. But his entire family is in another world. So after spending a little bit of time feeling depressed and lonely, he started planning. He sent text messages to people he thought might come, telling them that he was going to dye eggs for Easter and he wanted company.

Then he'd gone out and gotten everything he needed: too many eggs, cheap dye kits that were being promoted in every grocery store, vinegar, extra plastic cups. When he came home, he cleaned off his kitchen table and set the dye cups up, measuring out everything carefully as he followed the directions on the boxes.

Then he put on water for tea and checked his phone, hopeful.



[Small gathering-type post! If your pup knows Gabriel, he probably invited them, feel free to tag in and tag around. Set for any time Easter weekend. I'll post it to the main community in April!]

"We didn't do anything like this where I'm from," Octavia replies. "A lot of traditions and the like have sort of...fallen by the wayside over the last century. It's interesting to learn about them now."

"I'm still impressed whenever I come across something that's the least bit similar," Inej says, diligent with her wax before she places the egg into the next color. "I don't know why I supposed that I wouldn't. I guess things seem different at first, so when it gets to the similarities, I'm always a little surprised that they're there."

She smiles and has another chocolate. "How do you know Gabriel?"
