((Happens on Easter day.)


yOp: *arrives back in the dream. Is wearing a pale green bunny ears headband, and holding a pretty yellow plastic egg* *looks around at pastel swirly egg Swindles and grins, then checks to see if he can see Bubby*

aSwindle: *not one of the painted Swindles.*

otherSwindle: Hey, where'd you get the headband?

yOp: *wide grin* The Nexus. Looks like it still has LOLs. *offers otherSwindle a pink egg*

otherSwindle: *takes egg* Ooo? *opens*

yOp: *cracks up laughing as he sees a bunny tail appear stuck to otherSwindle's butt*

egg: *contains lovely energon goodies*

otherSwindle: Oooo *touch head* ...Awww, this one didn't wor...

Swindles: *LAUGHING*

otherSwindle: Huh?

yOp: *points to the Swindle's skidplate, and then laughs harder*

otherSwindle: o.O *turns in circles* *shakes tailed skidplate* Heh!

yOp: *holds up the yellow egg* This one's for Bubby. Does anyone know where he is?

thatSwindle: Still home, I guess.

yOp: Okay. *puts that egg away, and then pulls out... a whole basket of others!*

Swindles: *.*

yOp: *opens one and winds up with fuzzy bunny mitts* XD!

Swindles: *will take eggs!*

yOp: *hands out eggs. Some will give the ear headband. Some give the mitts or the tail. And some give bunny face paint, sometimes in combination with the tail. All are pastel coloured and total vintage campy looking*

Swindles: *are soon all bunnied out* *still a few eggs left*

yOp: *grins and looks around, then goes and knocks on Lugnut's door*

Lugnut: *opens door* Oh, Hello Optimus.

yOp: *offers him the basket* Would you like a couple holiday eggs? They have candy inside.

Lugnut: *blink* Sure.

yOp: Help yourself. *poker face smile*

Lugnut: *takes two... then thinks and takes a third as well. Treat for the 'pet'*

yOp: Happy egg day. *grins and turns to go*

Lugnut: *hands eggs to Stryka and Ravage, then opens one*

yOp: *peeks over his shoulder to see which costume part the massive fighter has wound up with*

Lugnut: *now has ears. And laughing family*

yOp: *grins and heads for the Seekerhouse*

Seekerhouse: *quiet mayhem. They're behaving...*

yOp: *teleports a few more eggs from the Nexus so he's got enough, then rings the doorbell*

furrySwindle: *answers* Hi Oppy!

yOp: *grins* Egg bunny delivery service.

furrySwindle: Cute costume! Hey, Oppy has eggs!

Seekers: *all PERK*

yOp: Enough for everyone to have three or four. *offers basket*

furrySwindle: Thanks! *takes basket... and hands out equal amounts to everyone. Just because Dirge is Greed DOESN'T mean the rest wouldn't try to get more then their fair share. At least the guys...*

Cloudtrader: *squeeing happily over his armful of eggs*

Lazerwave: These all energon goodies? *looking at one, then at her mate, concerned*

yOp: The smaller ones have organic candy.

furrySwindle: *perk*

yOp: *points those eggs out* I brought you a couple of the baked eggs with painted shells, too.

baked eggs: *pastel, done by drawing with wax and then dipping in food colouring, so they have little white daisies all over them*

furrySwindle: *grin* Thanks, Oppy!

Skywarp: EEEP! Fluff on my skidplate! *tries to hide from it*

others: *laughing!*

Skywarp: *realizing it's not hurting him* *blush*

yOp: *laughs* Open another one, 'Warp.

Skywarp: *opens another*

Cloudtrader: Bunny hands! :D?

Skywarp: LOL'ed?

TC: *opens one* *gets ears*

Sunstorm: Oh, what wonderful ears you have, TC!

Ramjet: I don't want bunny parts! *opens one himself!*

yOp: They last all Easter time. *chuckle*

Skywarp: *giggling*

Seekers: *soon are all bunny-fied?*

yOp: *laughing* You want a picture of everyone?

Mixer: *sitting on Dirge's shoulder in her bunny gear*

Lazerwave: *amused* Sure... Swindle?

furrySwindle: *hasn't opened his eggs* Bunny...

Cloudtrader: *looks up at furry uncle, cheeks bulging with candy* ?

furrySwindle: *is unsure about being a bunny. He's a fox.*

yOp: Oh, right.

furrySwindle: Just be too weird...

yOp: *looks at Lazerwave to see if she has an idea*

Lazerwave: I can open them for you... that should work...

yOp: *grins* There you go. I better go see Bubby and Turby. *waves and turns to head for his brother's house*

furrySwindle: *soon has bunny-free goodies!*

Seekers: *wave and nom*

yOp: *knocks on aSwindle and Disturbia's door*

Disturbia: *busy with bunnies and baby and dollies!*

aSwindle: *answers door--in bunny costume* Oppy!

yOp: *laughs* The Nexus still has fun LOLs. *points to his headband*

aSwindle: *looks. Laughs*

yOp: *offers him the yellow egg*

aSwindle: *takes* Do I need to take off my costume for this?

yOp: No. *laugh* That one's the face paint.

aSwindle: Oh, perfect! *will open!*

paint: *on aSwindle! Is pastel yellow base!*

aSwindle: *looks for mirror*

Disturbia: *just snagged the one off the wall to show him* *is grinning*

aSwindle: *beams*

yOp: *gives an egg to Moonstruck and watches as the the bittybot winds up with pink bunny paint*

Moonstruck: Eeee! ^_^

Disturbia: *snagging eggs from Oppy now. Is soon all LOLed out* :D

aSwindle: *laughing* ^^

Disturbia: *pastel green bunny face paint. Big grin*

aSwindle: *will hug a 'Turby bunny!*

yOp: *grins at the cute, and then goes to see his parents*

Swindle: *is deep in pillow pit, snoozing. After anniversary stuff and bunny deliveries, he's tired.*

yOp: *grins and gives the last of the eggs to the bitties who are playing quietly in the living room*

Velvet: *will bat. at. egg!*

yOp: Do you want a jingle bell in there, Velvet?

Velvet: *blink* *perk* Meowth! Meowth? *points to Roxy. She get egg too?* *figures Blizzard is adult and can ask for his own*

Blizzard: *busy snoozing*

yOp: *quickly makes five of the empty plastic eggs into kitty toys by adding bells, then gently bounces one off the sleeping Blizzard's nose*

Farsight: :o *watches his friend*

Blizzard: *wake with a faint roary yawn* ... *sees egg* *POKE*

egg: *jingle!*

Blizzard: Row! *gentle bat!*

yOp: *chuckles, then watches Roxy gleespazzing about her new toy. Thoughtful expression, and then gets some of the baked eggs for the cats*

Roxy: *buhwhat? Smells good?*

Phantom: *is kitty food? Can he give?*

Velvet: Meowth! *is being good and waiting*

yOp: *lets the white horse pass out the eggs, which he does carefully and with affectionate nuzzles for Velvet and Roxy*

Roxy: *sniffsniff egg. Pat pat. Not sure how to get noms out of this package...*

Velvet: *playful batting at Phantom*

Phantom: *gives Velvet another kissy, and then steps back to watch the kitties. Gave eggs to Blizzard too*

Blizzard: *using snake heads to peel eggs*

Roxy: *doesn't know how to get noms. Looks up* Mew?

Velvet: *shows, using one claw*

Roxy: *tries, but little house cat isn't strong enough* *little cry*

Velvet: *comfort!* *and peels her eggs for her*

Roxy: *kisskiss for big sister friend, then noms her eggs and purrs*

Velvet: *noms and purrs as well*

yOp: *grins and goes to start up Easter dinner. Is going to grill ham!*

Swindle: *finally waking up*

Zoe: *stirs slightly* -Hmm. Someone can smell gummi ham and energon spider ham grilling.-

Swindle: *sniffff* *blink* -...What time is it?-

Zoe: *streeetttch* -Around four.-

Swindle: *awake* That late?

Zoe: -Mmmhmm.- *unshutters optics and chuckles* The new Nexus has got LOLs.

Swindle: ...Easter ones?

Zoe: The one the guys are playing with is an Easter one. *amused*

Swindle: *facepalm and chuckle*

Zoe: *shares with him the scents that yOp is sharing with her*

Swindle: ...Ohhh... *tank rumble* ... *BLUSH*

Zoe: *laughter as she unfastens his sleeping case and sits up to look around* The kids are back. The pets are watching them.

Swindle: *purr and carefully slips out* Back? Oh... right...

Zoe: *gives him a peck and gets out of the pillow pit to go see what's up with her bitties and pets. Mischief hits, and she leaves a left over baked egg right where Swindle will step on it as he comes in*

Swindle: *sleepily comes in* *crack* O.o!!

Zoe: *laughing as the bitties look at her with surprise*

Swindle: *blush*

Zoe: *sends soft apology and comes to hug him and snuzzle a bit* Blizzard will probably eat it.

Blizzard: *does!*

Swindle: I thought I broke something... I mean I did, but... *blush*

Zoe: *snuzzle, love bomb* Sorry. It seemed like it would be funny when I thought of it.

Swindle: *blush*

Zoe: *gently takes his hand* Let's let these guys out of the house and see what everyone else is doing.

Swindle: Okay ^^

yOp: *doubled over laughing*

Columba: *facepalming at husband*

yOp: *innocent, and then turns and tosses a raw egg to the Ultra*

Fulminaire: *has caught a Swindle* ....Now what do I do?

oneSwindle: ...You tie me!

Fulminaire: Cool! .... *search self for rope* ...Ah...

oneSwindle: *offers*

furryOp: *chuckles at that, and then eats the egg that Astra just tossed at him*

Astra: ... Ewwww!

Blitzwing: *snerk* Those taste better to you then it did to me, I'd guess.

furryOp: ^_^; Yeah.

oneSwindle: *is soon all tied up* *giggling*

Fulminaire: This is fun!

yOp: *sees lpSwindle and smiles at him and his Blitzwing*

Columba: *talking to headspazz Blitzwing's headSpazz*

hsBlitzwing: *trying to take stuff all in while his headspazz yaps*

cpvBlitz: *done with tables, goes over to hsBlitzwing* Hi.

hsBlitzwing: *blink* Hello.

cpvBlitzwing: I'm Blitzwing. You're the newest guy?

hsBlitzwing: I guess so.

cpvBlitzwing: I hear you don't have a Swindle or any family?

hsBlitzwing: I've got a Spazz! *Random grin as he points to his head* *then sees yStarscream. YEEPS!*

cpvBlitz: *laughs* Well, that counts. But would you like more? My family just added onto the house. *quick look over her shoulder* Oh. Don't worry about him. He's not even a PITA anymore.

hsBlitzwing: *isn't sure, until he sees yBlitz--an Autobot Blitzwing??--giving yScream bunny ears and all him doing is facepalming*

cpvBlitzwing: *chuckles* See? And look over there. *points to a POOFED fScream*

hsBlitz: He's... different. Different enough...

cpvBlitz: *wide grin* Uh huh. But look at what scared him.

hsBlitz: *looks* ...That's not what I meant, but... Lord Starscream is... very scary where I came from.

Terrorwing: *the mighty MOW has attacked the Grandpa foot!*

fScream: *facepalming and sighing*

hsBlitz: ...Tiny fluffy ...What is he?

cpvBlitzwing: *snerk* No idea. All we know is that he's a techno-organic sparklet. *looks around* Would you like to meet a 'Con Screamer who isn't scary?

hsBlitzwing: I would.

cpvBlitz: Follow me. *will lead him over to where mgScream is watching most of his kids skydance with the local Seekers*

hsBlitzwing: *isn't sure. Is different from his, and yScream, but not quite enough to quell the slight eep factor*

mgScream: *turns his head and sees hsBlitz* *pleasant smile* Hello, Blitzwing. I don't think I've met you before.

hsBlitzwing: Ah, no... I'm new here.

mgScream: *smile grows kindly as he sees the Blitzwing's hesitation* *gently* Well then welcome to the Dream, it's a pleasure meeting you.

mgSwindle: *hurries over on her peg leg* Starscream, have you seen my older kid?

mgScream: *points up to where the youngster is skydancing with the Seekers*

mgSwindle: Oh. *relieved*

hsBlitzwing: *blinking at the femme Swindle*

mgSwindle: *notices him* Hi! *salesman grin, but heads over to where her Blitzwing and her younger creation are playing with a fluffy cuddle pony that someone brought in for the party*

mgScream: Swindle's a busy femme.

hsBlitzwing: Is that... your Swindle? *hadn't noticed the femme version of himself yet*

mgScream: She's the Swindle that's native to my reality, yes. But she's not mine. She's Blitzwing's. He paid for her fairly. *chuckle*

hsBlitzwing: Ah... I see.

mgScream: *waves to someone* Hello, Loanshark, Jael! You're late!

Loanshark: Our kid's harder to catch than yours are. *laugh*

cpvBlitz: *points to zShy and zSwindle* There's Shylock.

hsBlitzwing: *blink* Loanshark? Shylock?

Loanshark and zShy: *both pause and look over*

zShy: New bolts? *grins*

hsBlitzwing: *shakes his head* No, I mean... I guess... *confused*

Loanshark: *sympathy on his face as he holds his wiggly, light blinking little daughter* Go easy on him, Shy.

zShy: *slight worried look for hsBlitz, but then perks and grabs zSwindle* *offers him* Wanna hug somethin'?

zSwindle: *looking cuuuuuuute*

hsBlitzwing: Ummm... I... *blink* You work with each other?

zShy: Well, off the same ship, anyway. *still holding out the cute Swindle*

zSwindle: Yah, easier that way.

hsBlitz: *Yes, he has been here enough to see Swindles playing, even though he's never felt comfortable joining, but to actually hug a Swindle...* ... *take and hug a zSwindle*

zSwindle: *purr and hug back*

zShy: *friendly snerk, and then slaps fScream on the back as the Seeker goes past*

fScream: *had been talking to grandson in arms. Startles and poofs feathers everywhere*

zShy: XD

cpvBlitz: *picking up some feathers for her daughter*

hsBlitzwing: Everything's so different.

mgScream: *softly* Yes, it is. *then stoops to pick up lBlitz as she runs to him for a snuggle* *straightens and smiles encouragingly at hsBlitz* But you get used to it after awhile.

zShy: *cheerfully* Or you just go nuts.

hsBlitzwing: Already nuts... *puts zSwindle down*

zShy: Then you'll fit right in.

lBlitz: *wants to hug you, new big bubby! Arms out and hopeful little grin*

hsBlitz: *blinkBLINK* ...A bitty femme me?

cpvBlitz: *looks up* *grins* Yup.

lBlitz: *making cuuuute. Learned from Daddy!*

hsBlitz: *will pick up and snuggle... And then Random comes out and makes funny faces*

lBlitz: *silent laughter as she snuggles*

mgScream: *chuckles and offers the little Blitzwing one of the LOL eggs that are being handed around*

lBlitz: *wide optics as she opens... and now she has green bunny face paint!*

hsBlitz: *blink!!*

lBlitz: *offers him one of the bunny shaped strawbabies that was inside the egg*

headspazz: -Can we have a bunny LOL too?-

hsBlitz: ..Thank you. *takes and noms* -Bunny LOL?-

headspazz: -Yeah. Look at all the Swindles. Some of the others are wearing 'em too. It's cute.-

hsBlitz: *sadface* -But...-

headspazz: -It's okay. We don't have to.- *slight feel of a snuggle*

zShy: *knows how to jimmy the eggs so he can eat candy without getting costume*

zSwindle: *doesn't. Or doesn't care if he gets LOL'd*

lBlitz: *oh oh oh, wants another egg! Is reaching!*

hsBlitz: *will get for her*

lBlitz: *oopens slooowwwwly... And giggles as she looks down at her new bunny tail*

hsBlitz: *blink*

lBlitz: *such a happy little bot. Then she's looking over as furryOp announces that the egg hunt is starting now, and will be followed by supper* :D!

lSwindle: *runs past. Has already been collecting eggs!*

mgScream: *face palm*

hsBlitz: Egg Hunt?

mgScream: *perks and drops hand* Yes. It's a Dream custom. You search for nests full of candy eggs and toys.

hsBlitz: How odd.

mgScream: Yes, but it can be fun too. *smiles* It's also optional.

headspazz: -...Toys?-

hsBlitz: Can anyone join?

mgScream: Oh yes. You just need a partner or a team.

lBlitz: *points to herself, and to her three dead brothers!*

hsBlitz: Oh...

headspazz: -I'm his partner.- *laughs*

hsBlitz: Does that work?

mgScream: *quizzical expression. Didn't hear the head voice* I'm sorry, I missed what was said. Does what work?

hsBlitz: I've got a Spazz in my head. She said she's my partner. But since she's in my head...

mgScream: o.o *wince of sympathy* Oh, I think she counts.

lBlitz: *nod nod*

hsBlitz: Okay ^^

lBlitz: *whistles for her brothers. She'd like them for her team*

tkBlitzwings: *come over*

lBlitz: *hugs hsBlitz, and then reaches for tkRandom*

tkRandom: *takes little sister* Hi!

hsBlitz: Hello... *blink* ...You're separate?

tkIcy: We're offline.

hsBlitz: *BLINKBLINK*

cpvBlitz: There are a lot of ghosts around here. They're not scary. These are my brothers. They live with me and the rest of my family. *grinning as she watches dreamScream settle at nearby table with his family and Rabbit*

tkHothead: We don't live with you, we're offline. *snerk*

cpvBlitzwing: Fine. You hang around my house constantly, except when you're here schmoozing pizza. *snerk*

tkBlitzwings: *all nod*

miniBlitz: *runs past then, basket on head, phone in hand, daughter on back, kilt on butt* Squeeze the ju-uice!

cpvBlitzwing: ...

hsBlitz: ...I think I'm now more nuts...

cpvBlitz: *pats his leg* We love you anyway, kid.

furryOp: *comes over then and passes out baskets, making sure everybody gets the colour that they want and everything*

hsBlitz: *unsure of color*

headspazz: -Oooo, like Icy's face!-

hsBlitz: *has a light blue basket now*

furryOp: Okay, everyone line up over here. *will try to steer the new Blitzwing away before all the Seekers land and mob mgScream for the stack of baskets he gave to the mgAir Commander*

hsBlitz: *is now in a lineup*

furryOp: *sends everyone off. A good egg hunt is had by all, and a very good supper follows. Many guests wind up sleeping over because they're too full or too well charged to move*
