27; Egg Hunt
Mysterious eggs have appeared all around the City and they're waiting to be collected.

29; How To Train Your...
This one shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

As promised, here's a post on the end of March's event!

March 27, citizens will find eggs hiding in various places in the City. Some are plain, some are speckled, some are a little oblong shaped, some are gold, some are bejeweled, and some come in neon colors. Your characters can crack the eggs and cook what comes out (sorry it's just strange yolk reflecting the colorway of the shell, nothing gross to see here) and the result of their meal will be an upset stomach lasting at least three days. Too bad so sad. But if your character decides to keep the egg intact they'll be getting a surprise in a few days.

March 29, citizens with an egg in their possession will find it has cracked itself open. And what's that coming out? It's a dragon is what it is. Little dragons. Dragons the size of your forearm. It may as well be an iguana with wings. Isn't it cute? The kawaii doesn't last for long though because as the dragons breathe in the City air they get bigger bigger and bigger. From iguana size to bus size in a matter of 24 to 48 hours. This is a problem for the City, as the dragons grow so do their powers; moderately threatening fire, fairly eardrum shattering soundwaves, formidable lightning strikes you name it. Oh and they have appetites. For what is up to you, just know it's going to be voracious. Also they don't talk and they do not come with any training!

Round Up; the dragon "infestation" as the Deities call it will last a few days, up until 11:59pm April 3. They have a plan to get rid of the reptile vermin and the Deities will be giving the City a heads up on when and how.

How To Keep Your Dragon; we the mods are giving you the players a heads up that you can keep the dragons your characters get...providing that your character finds another character who can shrink the dragon back to its big old house cat, basset hound, basking iguana size. It can be through magic, through science, or through a Deity trade. For the purpose of this event the magic or science routes should be considered difficult but doable and unlikely to be frequent for the duration of the event. That means a spell might work only twice before the magician has to rewrite the incantation or the mad scientist's shrinking ray broke after two shrinks and needs a day of repairs before it can shrink again. We're leaving the hows and how manys to you guys and trust you won't go overboard with it!

With regards to dragon powers, shrinking their size shrinks their powers down as well so firebreathing turns into occasional firecoughing and lightning bolts turn into static shocks and maybe that soundwave is now a dog whistle. We'd like to stress the powers as very low level yet in the right circumstances their powers can be useful. In the future their powers and size might change for certain events or curses but their default after this event will be on the small low level side.

Additional Info! A Deity post has been made here concerning the removal of dragons. The portal will be open throughout April 1 to April 3 but the dragons wouldn't have to fly off immediately. In fact the more they resist the more unruly they become 8)

So there you have it, the opportunity to have a pet dragon of your own! Of course you're more than welcome to have your character leave their dragon at the mercy of the Deities too 8) One dragon per character please!

Ask questions if you have any and feel free to use this post as a way of offering your character's shrinking/dragon taming/who knows whats it prowess!
