Easter Egg Hunt and Party
JilaCosa

As Jila walks into the Ballroom she wonders how many of her friends will be attending. Hopefully this will prove to be another interesting party. She puts the box she is carrying on the floor and walks around the room to plug in the Christmas lights that were never taken down. Then out of the box comes a stack of cardboard bunnies and some colorful plastic eggs to be placed around the room.

She pulls out a paper table, places it on the table and brings from the kitchen a variety of serving bowls and plates. Bags and bags of munchie things go into half of the bowls and different types of chocolate goodies go in the other half. She leaves a couple of empty plates on the table for Viridian's chocolate bunnies and marshmallow peeps.

Tidying up the bar, Jila sees a piece of paper tucked just out of the way on the first shelf. She pulls it out and starts to read it. "Hmmmmmm, Punch of ..... what." She turns the card and checks both sides "I can't tell. Somebody must have gotten really sloppy with there bartending, the name is smudgy." Reading the ingedients she thinks *Well it doesn't sound all that hard to make and we have all the ingredients. Sounds good. What the heck!" Grabbing a large punchbowl from the table Jila starts pouring the ingredients together.

Just as she puts the punchbowl back on the table she sees Ragnar come in dressed for the occasion. She chuckles as she notices that he is dressed exactly like Sherlock Holmes.

"Oh very nice." Jila compliments the big Viking. "But isn't that a little uncomfortable over your usual chainmail?"

"I left it on the Longboat tonight just for this occasion." he bows deeply at the waist, then sits in the big comfy chair and starts studying some papers.

"What have you got there?"

"Maps of the Mansion. It always help to be prepared." Ragnar answered in a scholarly manner.

As the Ballroom gang came through the door each was greeted with a big hug from Jila. "I'm so glad you could make it." she said as she offered each a bunny pin. (I was going to offer bunny ears but I wasn't sure you'd wear them. There's a bunch in the box by the bar though).

"Okay everybody," Jila said to get everyones attention. "Before we get to the actual party portion of the evening there are some Easter Eggs that are just die-ing (dying, dye-ing?) to be found. This Easter Egg Hunt is going to be in the style of the old Scooby-Doo mysteries. I'll give you a clue and when you've figured that clue out, go on to the proper room.

Here's what you need to do.

Follow the clues as you find them. Please don't just go from here to the other end looking. That would take away all the fun and all of my fun. Remember, I worked really hard on these even if some of the rhymes bite.

When you find a clue, post a reply saying you found it and tell me how good or bad the clues are.

When you've found all of the clues (and there are only 10) come back here and we'll start the Party.

Ready? Here's your first clue.

At this first room the shippers meet
For the love of just these two
The PeaceKeeper and The Astronaut
What do you think they'll do.*****

Good Luck and See you later
Jila

***** If you need a clue


It's on this side of the main board by Ritual

Kaybe -- got it

hi jila. got it.


JilaCosa -- Hang on!  Here are the baskets!

I hope you don't mind Viridian but I didn't read this before I posted and I liked it so much I thought it should be added to the story.


Date: 4/18/2000
From: Viridian

Viridan comes racing into the ballroom pulling a little red wagon. It is piled high with Easter baskets. She wipes the perspiration (otherwise known as sweat-- but we are trying to be ladylike) off her brow. "Sorry I'm late everyone. Somebody's husband was using the computer..." She sets the baskets down onto the floor. Please observe the lovely set of rabbit ears she is wearing that match her pink dress. "Help yourself. There are chocolate bunnies in each-- I figure we can eat them if we need the energy, oh-- here are the Peeps for Spryal. Oh yeah, I almost forgot." Viridian runs over to the bar and retrieves the shopping bags of egg cartons she had hidden there. "Here's my surprise!" She opens a carton to reveal brightly colored eggs. She takes one out. Every egg has been cleaned out, colored, filled with confetti and sealed with a little piece of tissue paper. "When I was down visiting my darling Texans last year," she explains, "I discovered these. They're called cascarones,(I hope I got the spelling right) they're Mexican and this is what you do with them!" she cracks one over Ragnar's head. Confetti flies everywhere! "Happy egg hunting everyone!"
Viridian -- Thanks for adding that

Gotta go!! (Whooooooooosh)

Drumheller -- OK, I got my....

Basket and my divining rod, I'm off.

Btw, thanks for the pin and bunny ears Jila!;)

Mouse2000 -- I’m here!!!

Mouse waves at Jila as she rushes through the doors to the ballroom! "Jila, that was awesome! Thanks so much - I had a ball running up and down and finding all your clues! What a great way to start a party! LET'S PARTY!!"

Drumheller -- “Whooo, made it back

Those were some great clues Jila. Thanks for all your
hard work, it was a blast!:)"

Drumheller flops down into the nearest chair,"Must...
have...refreshment..."

Kaybe0 -- I’m back

i'm back. where is everyone. i'm ready to party

Mouse2000 -- Now that we’re all here....

I'm going to set up a chat room. Want to come?

Go like you're going to chat at #Farscape, but look for #EggHunt in the rooms. I'll be waiting!

Viridian -- Looookkk out!!!!!!!!!!

I caaannn't stop!!!! Viridian careens back into the Ballroom. she tumbles over her little red wagon and lands on the floor. "I really should learn how to skate in these things," she mutters to herself. Mouse sneaks up behind her and cracks another egg over her head. Confetti floats down around her. "Cool, Mouse," she says, "are you eating chocolate these days? Would you like a bunny?"

Beebo2 -- Beebo2 comes crashing....

through yet another door tonight..

Hey guys!! boy that was great!! I don't think I have run so hard and fast in a LONG time!!

Mouse....Did you grow wings??? You just seemed to SWOOP down on the board....Well I did get side tracked when I tripped over that stupid instant messanger...Don't you hate those things??

OHH look at that table...I must say Jila you sure do know how to throw a party!!!

I'm glad everyone is here...It will be nice to meet everyone in person!

Hi everybody!!! Let's Party!!


32CodeAddict -- I got it, Jila!

At least I think! ;) LOL!I'm back everyone! Codey is back well back untill I get put back in the padded room with Artic. LOL! Ok onto the egg hunt. Thanks Jila for the basket. Let's get going.

Lurkingghost -- sugar!!

KaraS -- Whew, that’s a lot of stairs!

RagnarRB -- Sorry for the delay gang

I was going to do each step of this as an elaborate written story but my computer isn't cooperating! Any way I ran the lap!


32CodeAddict -- Ok, I’m BACK!!!!!

I KNOW, I know that's pretty slow for a vampire but I'm been out of it for awhile. Sorry ppl. Hehehehe! Great idea Jila, that was SOOO FUN! I loved it. We should do that again next year. Yay!!! Too bad Twinny missed it. She would have loved it. Can we party now?

BethS -- Can’t really stay for a party, but

I wanted to say that this hunt was a great idea. It took me awhile, I took a wrong turn & had to retrace my steps, but it was a great tour of the Farscape mansion!

Chryse74 -- Told you I’d be late...

Oh, go ahead and the start the party. I'll be right back (I hope)

Oh, and thanks for the bunny ears and pin!

*chryse starts running out the door full tilt, muttering "I'm late, I'm late" and looking at a pocket watch

Chryse74 -- Chryse hops in

Hi everyone! I'm baaaaaack!!!! and looks around nervously when everyone just stares. . .

Everyone looks at the funny white rabbit in the surcoat with a pocket watch as it hops in the door. . .

Who brought in the bunny? Looks like the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. The kitten has a playmate now.
comments come out of the ballroom gang. chryse backs away looking around in confusion, "What's going on? What bunny?"

Spyral -- Spyral runs back in the room

wiping a small bit of sweat from his brow.

"Whoo! Now that was a hunt! Thanks Jila!"

(((((((((((((Easter Crew)))))))))))))))

*Now where are those Peeps? Only kind of candy that I can chew on right now!!! hhhhmmmmmmmm....Where are they hiding?*

Viridian -- THANK YOU JILA!!!!!!!!!!

For the swell hunt!

Viridian sits on the floor and arranges the Peeps in a triangular formation. She looks up to see Spyral. "Hi there," she says, "how are you feeling?" She rolls a hard boiled egg toward the Peeps and knocks some over. "Check this out," she anounces, "bowling for Peeps!"


YEAHHHH!!!!!

(Bye the way, didya see the big white rabbit?)

32CodeAddict -- Great fun two thumbs UP!

THANKS JILA!!!!! It was extremely FUN! I loved it, even if my computer and modem ar way to slow. LOL! Ok let's par-tay!!!! Whoooo hoooooooo!!!!! Hey Spyral I see ya made it cool.

((((( Jila )))))

((((( Ballroom gang )))))

Hi newbies. My names 32codeaddict but most people around here call me code or crazy. lol just kidding. I have been put in the padded room a couple times, so if you can't find me around here. I'm probably in artic's padded room. By the way, cell is not in my vocabulary so I call it a room. LOL. Where is artic? Hey BethS glad you could come. Beth so hope you can stay awhile. There is always a party here.

((((( Beth )))))

I am just SOOO glad to be back in the ballroom and kitchen. Kara I'm still a little miffed that you left me in the pantry so long. ;) jk. I missed you guys a lot.

IQ120 -- What the?

IQ enters ballroom with puzzled look on his face. Reads the first clue and then takes of running.

"I hope I'm not to late!"

Spyral -- Spyral takes a seat beside Viridian

and admires her form. (Her bowling form!!!!!!! :-) )

The angel watches as she bowls a strike, sending the little peeps tumbling this way and that. He scoops one up and starts to lightly munch.

Still a litle sore, but I am eating now, just have to watch what I eat. Peeps are just about perfect though, verrrrrryyyyyyy soft! And they are my favorite Easter candy too.

JilaCosa -- Freshen anyone’s drink?

"Sorry about the Marathon run people but I see everybody enjoyed themselves. There's punch on the table, it's a recipe I found under the bar, and this nifty Replicator that Zee left. Anybody need anything? I guess we need some music too. Any preferences or should I just start poking buttons on the jukebox? Are you comfy Mouse? Would you like an extra pillow?"

"And what do you think guys? Doesn't Ragnar look wonderful tonight in his Sherlock Holmes attire? By the Gods, I don't think even Sugarplum would recognize him tonight!" :)

I'm glad everyone had such a good time with the Egg hunt.

Now Let's Party!!!

Raven Kat -- Drenn! I missed it!

Crikey, Jila, I thought it was TONIGHT. I'm sorry...

<<sniff, sniff>>

Rae's just a huge ditz this week. SORRY

(((((((((((((((((Jila)))))))))))))))))))

JilaCosa -- (((((Rae)))))

It's okay Rae. If you're up for it take a run through anyway. I didn't know how many people would show up so there are still plenty of eggs available in each room. I'd love to hear your opinion on how I did.

Hope RL isn't getting too hectic for you.

IQ120 -- IQ reenters the Ballroom

...singing "...peter cottontail hopping down the bunny trail. hippity hoppity Easters on its way." Having run the entire course he is proud of himself.

Drumheller -- “ooohhh, my head”

I think I need some more punch." Drum says as he staggers
to the punch bowl."Where did all the feathers come from!"

KaraS -- Still wearing deelieboppers

KaraS comes back into the ballroom, still wearing her deelieboppers. She nods her head to make them sway and bob about.

Hehehehehehehe

Last night was fun. How is everybody doing today?


32CodeAddict -- Hola! Hola! So hope everyone is up....

for a par-tay!!! No worries you guys. Codey is back behind the BAR!!! I am taking orders and tips. So please feel free to tell me your poison. Mousey I know lots of drinks and I can make them all virgin for ya hon. Ok? So shoot! Let's get this party started. Jila any music will do for me. I feel pretty good today. So what's the first order? By the way Rae sorry you missed the egg hunt but like Jila said there is still plenty of eggs so you can still go on the hunt. But before you go Rae here's a Brandy Alexander. I hope that's the right one. I'm just so glad to be at another party.

((((( Rae )))))

Raven Kat  -- I did it! I did it!

Rae hops up and down, miraculously managing not to spill any of her eggs.

"That was GREAT, Jila. Thanks!"

(((((((((((((((Jila)))))))))))))))))

Happy Easter everybody!

((((((((((((((everybody))))))))))))))))))

Lurkingghost -- Is the party still “partying”?

If so, here I am. Love the deelieboppers. And feathers, how nice.

ready to party

32CodeAddict -- Excellant Ghost!

Here's a hot coco and a specially fudgey Brownie just like you like it. Hope you enjoy. Now what does everyone want to drink? Bar is open for business.

Lurkingghost -- mmm, yummy

Thanks, Code.


Chryse74 -- I’ll be right back

chryse thinks that if she retraces her steps through the mansion, it'll change her back. After all, she started off normally, but ended up as a rabbit. reversing the procedure should change her back right?

she rapidly hops out the door and starts racing through the mansion again leaving behind a barely legible note (bunny paws are NOT meant for holding pens!) asking Rae to help with a spell if this doesn't work...

artickat -- Just wanted to say...

Great Easter egg hunt Jila! (((Jila))) You did a great job and I had fun. Can't stay...I'm a sick puppy...I must be sick to call myself a puppy! ;) Back to bed for me. Miss you guys! ((((Everyone))))

 Drumheller -- Hey artickat

Sorry to hear your so sick.:( Hope you feel better soon,
we all miss ya!
