Looks like we got a lot of cool new things after wrapping up that last story, and I'm still debating what to pick.

But I've been wondering about these eggs. Sure they say they could hatch and be friendly companions, but...

Do you think they would make good omelets?



Okay, okay, I'm kidding, I really wouldn't try to eat one (sorry Kotori—and Eizen, too, I guess) dragon omelet sounds kind of cool though but how would we go about hatching these things, anyway? Anyone got one yet and found out?

Starting to think that maybe boiling the dragon ones might not be such a bad idea...

[Is he serious? Is he not serious? Would he really try to cook the egg? It's Rokurou.]

[deadmentellnotails]

What the hell even is that?

[ricebird]

[.......]

Where are you, Rokurou-san?

[Goodness, that's a lot of quill pressure.]

[rokubro]

[UH OH HE ANGERED THE LITTLE CHEF]

Hahaha it was a joke a joke!






[mostly]

[ricebird]

You swear?

[SHE KNOWS HOW SERIOUSLY YOU TAKE PROMISES, DUDE.]

[deadmentellnotails]

I'll hold him down.

[ricebird]

Thanks, Eizen-san, but I should be fine. (Rokurou-san's actually pretty weak to being scolded. X) )

[twilightskey]

Why would you want to eat them? Wouldn’t that be like killing them?

[rokubro]

No different than eating any other wild eggs or animal.

Though that's another option—raising it and getting it nice and plump for some taste dragon meat.

[He's not helping himself is he.]

[twilightskey]

But aren't eggs you eat different from eggs that have living things inside them?

But why would you even want that??

[arrogator]

Yeah no don't eat them.

But if you fought a giant dragon and cooked it that would be a pretty cool meal.

[rokubro]

I was just writing to Roxas about maybe raising it to cook later.

But fighting a large adult would be a lot more satisfactory.

[arrogator]

Doing that seems like a waste. It's a dragon not a cow.

[chatwithdeath]

[It's Roku, she's not surprised at this...]

I believe it depends on the dragon egg. At least, I don't see a water dragon's eggs hatching similarly to a dragon that might live in more arid or warmer climates.

[rokubro]

Hmm guess you have a point. But then how would we be able to tell what kind we get? Or does it come with a note?

[chatwithdeath]

I don't even know how you obtained the egg. Didn't you ask anything when you received it?

[chippedsoul]

Why have an omelette when you could raise it like livestock to eat it's meat later? Heck, if it's female, maybe it'll give you more eggs.

[These are some sharp scribbles coming from "Kazuma"]

[rokubro]

I thought about the former, but if it's a female then I'd have to find a male for it and not sure if I want to deal with a hormonal dragon.

[But.

...

Wait.]

Surprised you'd suggest something like that, though.

[A little. On the one hand he could see Kazuma suggesting something practical, but it's the second half that reads a little weird. Would he really say (or write) something like "heck"...?]

[afterthemoon]

Assuming they're edible in the first place.

[rokubro]

Why wouldn't they be?

Wait, unless you think they might be poisonous??

[kawkaw]

[ He's going to just....ignore the first part (eating other creatures? isn't that...barbaric?). ]

Usually with eggs, the parent would sit on them to hatch them. I can't say much about dragon eggs, though I imagine it wouldn't be too different.

[rokubro]

Hmm, the dragons did have those nests back in the story. And I think some other reptiles at least cover the eggs to incubate them.

[gobetween]

I don't know much about hatching eggs, but I feel like if they were listed in the catalogue as companions then they're prrrobably not edible.

From what I know about all the stories dragons take heat to hatch, so you might be on to something about the boiling. Maybe... stick it near or in the fireplace?

[rokubro]

Yeah, you might be right. Still can't help but wonder what dragon egg stew might taste like.

But from what I'm hearing from the rest, making some kind of nest by the fireplace might be the best bet. Good thing I'm not too bothered by temperatures or this would suck since it looks like we're hitting the summer season.
