[DIA] (BFDI x II) A Black Hole living on Earth

Eggellent Easter

Normal P.O.V: 

Somewhere within Hotel OJ, Black Hole and Paintbrush are coloring eggs in various methods. But it looks like Black Hole is having a bit of a problem and screws it up again.

Black Hole: Steady... steady...

As Black Hole attempts to put a cute pattern on one of his eggs he ultimately messes up and gets sad about.

Black Hole: Aw man. I'll never get these things right.

Paintbrush: Sure you will Black Hole. In fact, you're a better egg artist than I am.

Black Hole: Don't kid yourself for my sake, you've seen me play pictionary last semester. I can't draw or paint even if this universe depended on it. 

Paintbrush: Oh Black Hole Black Hole Black Hole... not everyone is an excellent artist overnight, besides I generally do think your eggs don't look to bad.

Cabby: Hello boys, what's going on here?

Paintbrush: I'm teaching Black Hole about my favorite custom of Easter, egg painting.

Cabby: Well that would explain the messy table. Who made this one?

Cabby picks up an egg that's covered in mixed color splotches and very jagged lines.

Black Hole: That's mine, I know it's pretty bad.

Cabby: Bad? On the contrary Black Hole, I like the look of your eggs. I never seen anything like it.

Black Hole: That's nice of you to say Cabby but that's sort of the problem, I can't get my eggs to appear like the other over there. 

Paintbrush: Let me tell you something about art my space friend, art is a suggestive thing. It's not confined to one single topic or type. In fact art isn't even limited to just drawing or painting, it can also be a handmade plush, knitting/crochet, animation and even music.

Black Hole: Really? Huh, I had no idea. Thanks for telling me all this Paintbrush, I feel much better about my work now. Can I ask something though, why exactly do we color eggs on this time of year? 

Paintbrush: Uuuhhh, I... actually don't know.

Cabby: Ooh! Ooh! I have just the file to quench your curiosity. Ahem, It says here that the tradition of egg dying dates back over 2,500 years of the ancient Persians however back then they didn't do it for Easter but for the Persian new year known as Nowruz. It does make it's way to Easter in the 10th century and became much more popular when King Edward the First ordered 450 eggs painted with a gold leaf and gave them away to celebrate, around the Victorian Era egg dying become less exclusive and more of a family tradition the eggs in question were and still are considered as treats for the children and eventually it all lead to more traditions like egg hunts. And that is why we decorate, paint and/or dye eggs around easter time. 

Black Hole and Paintbrush both stare awkwardly and surprised of the massive info dumped onto them.

Paintbrush: Wow... I always thought it was just something to vent the excitement of Easter. 

Cabby: Happy to be a service, now I have some business to attend to. Ta-ta.

Black Hole: *whispering* I'm honestly afraid to ask her about the whole 'Easter Bunny' concept.

Paintbrush: *whispering* You and me both. 

The following day Black Hole and Remote arrive at the park where the annual Easter Egg hunt is being held, both of them carried a basket to hold any of the eggs they find. Remote was rather excited to get started. 

Remote: Yay Easter! Hunting for eggs filled with candy is the best part of this day! ^u^

Black Hole: Hehe, yeah I bet. Okay, let's meet back at this spot after we've finished.

The siblings soon then got to work looking for eggs with everyone else participating. Black Hole takes some rather silly methods of searching, he looks in the tops of trees, in the trash bins and even lifts up a few picnic tables (which does work btw, lol). Remote dives into some bushes and puts her head in a lake to look for some eggs and manages to find a lot of them. 

Black Hole: Huh, that's an interesting looking egg.

Hidden in the of a tree Black Hole finds a shiny gold colored egg and takes it. Eventually he and Remote meet back where they agreed to and each of them shared their spoils.

Black Hole: Wow you found a lot of eggs Remote.

Remote: I'm pretty good at egg hunts. What did you find?

Black Hole: I got a fairly good amount too, I also found this unique looking egg to.

Remote: OH MY GOSH! Black Hole, You found the golden egg! They usually put about 1,000$ inside!!

Black Hole: Wait, really? *pop* Woah, how lucky that I found this then. Hey would you like to play Animal Crossing with me? It has an Easter event.

Remote: Yeah let's go!
