OMFG IT'S A RUMOUR MEME

[theearth]

Yes, that's rumour with an extra U, deal with it nerds



1) Post an anonymous rumour about your character or others in StE! They can be silly ("I hear Julien and Torin have a secret nest full of bird eggs they're raising together!") or serious ("A reliable source told me that Danny is the one leaking info to the mafia!")
2) Wash, rinse, repeat.
3) Respond ICly to other people's rumours.
4) It's almost like I'm in high school again! Except if any of you start calling me four-eyes I'll bash yer fookin 'eads in I swear on me mum.

Wh-

Which of us is supposed to have laid them? Or are we adopting?

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Both?

[drama8om8]

Seconded. Double mpreg is absolutely the most fair way to do things! It is the only way to ensure that oe birdbutt doesn't bear too much of the burden.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Your fanfics must be glorious.

[drama8om8]

You have no idea.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Tell me more.

[espigeonage]

I think it's less a burden for birds, anyway. Laying compared to giving birth, I mean.

[drama8om8]

Depends on how big the eggs are, right?

Imagine.

[espigeonage]

No, thanks. I don't really get the laying fetish.

[espigeonage]

That just sounds exhausting.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

As long as I'm not roped into this.

[espigeonage]

Quisling.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Excuse me?

[espigeonage]

I was gonna leave the nest for some air, but if I leave the eggs alone they'll get cold or eaten by snakes or something.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

...so am I supposed to entertain you, or eggsit?

[espigeonage]

You know, I'm not actually sure! I should put more thought into this scenario.

Wait, wait. Cabin fever has got to me while I'm waiting for Torin, so I'm snapping at passersby!

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

And... I rescue you somehow?

[espigeonage]

Yes.

Yes, you... convince me that there is more to life than nesting, and I put in a call to Child Protective Services, and we flee into a life of adventure and comparative security.

Then in twenty years one of the kids will go on the hunt for answers, but hey, twenty years is long time.

[radiantchicken]

Oh, my.

[espigeonage]

You think you'd make a good dad?

[radiantchicken]

I'm not sure. That's not anything I've ever given much thought to.

[He pauses.]

What about you?

[espigeonage]

I like kids, but I kinda don't think I'm mature enough for 'em. Really I'm better as some sort of uncle.

[radiantchicken]

And yet realizing that is a sort of maturity in and of itself.

[espigeonage]

Hah, you think so? I don't think it makes for enough maturity to be a parent, though! At least not one who's any good.

[radiantchicken]

But it's a start! You are probably selling yourself short when it comes to maturity.
