[There's a rustle of plastic 'easter grass' and the soft sound of egg enamel with hard-boiled center rolling on mahogany.

A small, girl-sized hand gently, methodically places a line of colored eggs on a table in the main foyer, arranging them in alphabetical order. Looks like someone's been playing America's egg hunt for all the less enthusiastic

[And there are some chocolate eggs dropped on her head]

[exploring_game]

It's raining eggs?!

[talks_to_fish]

[Laughing and peering down at her from the top of a wardrobe. Don't ask how she got up there.]

[exploring_game]

[She bends to pluck up the chocolate eggs, waving a little to Angel.]

Hey! Where did you get this candy?

[Action.~]

[other_father]

[And look who's passing her in the halls.

He stops and looks at the jumping thing that's bouncing about and says nothing... but he does go next to her and start hopping too, a playful smile on his face.]

This is pretty fun, kiddo!

[Action.~]

[exploring_game]

Hi Other-Dad.

[She grins, rolling her eyes good-humored as she looks between them, before a half-laughing out a very-bad-pun.]

Hoppy Easter.

[other_father]

Hey Coraline!

[He continues hopping and laughs- that was worthy of one of his bad-but-funny puns.]

Did you get many eggs today, kiddo?

[exploring_game]

Well it looks like everyone just gets one with their name on 'em, but I found some for people!

[helena_campbell]

Looks like you found a lot.

[exploring_game]

Looks like a lot of people just quit looking early.

[helena_campbell]

[Laughs.] At least they had you to keep on looking.

Happy Easter, Coraline.

[exploring_game]

Yeah, it was pretty fun! Happy Easter to you too!

[Jack appears from wherever he was lurking, a half-eaten hard-boiled egg in one hand, and a small cardboard box full of colorful shell fragments in the other. He heard the noise of her recording from the other room. He swallows his mouthful of egg before speaking, thankfully.]

Oh--hi. Are you Caro--Coraline?

[He is realizing that he actually hasn't met her in person before now.]

[Action]

[exploring_game]

[She grins up at him, swinging her basket slightly.]

Yup, that's me. I've been finding everybody's eggs...did you see the table?

[Action]

[kindly_done]

[He smiles back down at her. He's dressed a little strangely today, by the way: he's wearing his lavender suit-coat. He got wind that it was a holiday, and put on his prospective Host garb.]

No, I don't think I did.

[exploring_game]

What do you do for Easter with your kids, usually?

...Or do you celebrate Passover?

[jesusing_clown]

Haha, you found a lot. Happy Easter Coraline.

[exploring_game]

I did a good job, right? I think yours is here, Allen! Happy Easter!

[jesusing_clown]

It is? But I already- I hope I didn't eat someone else's...

[exploring_game]

Hmm...that's funny.

Maybe he accidentally made yours twice? It's hard to read the white crayon on white egg, before it's dyed.
