*suspicious gaze* What’s in ‘em?
i dunno, i figured we could open together!
Where did you find them, Max? *suspicion continues*
i found this one under the couch and i found this one in a bush! i wanna find more
Uh…let’s open them and see if we should go looking for more. They… might not be worth it, if… if you get my meaning.
*he tilted his head slightly* i.. don’t really? here *he hands one of the eggs over* i wonder what’s inside..
*looks at the egg, pressing his lips together in contemplation* Hm….
something wrong Carlos..? why are you acting so suspicious of everything?
Max… what day is it today?
uhh.. easter? april first? why??
What else happens on April first?
i don’t… i-i don’t know ?
April Fools day. I’m suspicious because I think these eggs might be a joke.
‘april fools day’? how could these eggs even be a joke?
they could have rabbit poop in them.
… ew… who the hell would do that though?
April Foolers.
I dunno, Max… just be careful when you open that thing.
*he looked down at his eggs with a slight frown, unsure if he wanted to open them at this point* …
*Carlos watches him.* Do you want me to open it for you? *he didn’t wanna get pranked, but if it was something bad he didn’t want it to happen to Max*
… i don’t know, maybe we should just.. put them away somewhere…
*sighs. He takes his egg and presses his thumb against the seam, popping it open*
*a piece of candy falls out. Max blinks and stares at it for a second*
doesn’t look like bunny poop..
*Carlos holds his hand out for it* Lemme see it…
*he picks up the candy and hands it to Carlos* why?
*Carlos starts to unwrap it* People sometimes rap grapes up in foil or something so you think it’s a chocolate egg… Your camp isn’t running an Easter event, is it?
*he tilted his head slightly as Carlos unwrapped the candy* not that i know of? then again, i haven’t even seen any other counselor then David but i don’t think he really knows what he’s doing
Hmm… *looks over the candy. He even sniffs it*
.. what are you doing..
Making sure it’s not plastic. *he licks it* Oh… yeah, it’s butterscotch. *sighs in relief.* Okay, good… I was worried.
*he pops open the other egg* well at least you got your can- oh gods damn it, ants got into this one..!
Wha – oh, no… I’m sorry, Max. I can run to the store and get some more candy for you – it is Easter after all.
*he shrugged, dumping the ants and candy out* you don’t have too
It’s Easter. Kids get candy on Easter. Come on, buddy. *smiles at him* I could get you a basket too to collect eggs with.
*he looks up at Carlos* wait really?
Yeah, sure! Though, I’m not sure how long the eggs have been out here if ants are already getting into some of them. We’ll check each one of them to make sure they’re clean. Anyway – I’m not working on anything that requires my immediate attention. Do you wanna go now?
