It's been an eventful second visit to the Shiritoriya for the Traveller. With so many moons and so many destinations in between, at first he didn't recognize the sprawling metropolis that has grown out of the once-humble coop. He got a few strange looks when he first started walking down the lane--but that was normal, his reputation somewhat precedes him these days.
Deciding to take it easy, he did as he always did and started rubbing wings with any fascinating chicken he crossed paths with, before he finally made the acquaintance of a gorgeous hen. Not having been around at the coop when the Traveller first visited, Tani had no idea that the scoundrel had once nested with--and subsequently broken the heart of--her own sister...!
Soon after came the inevitable: an egg; and a few days later, the chick:
Trying to mend his past mistakes, the Traveller thought that he might at least attempt to stick around a bit for this little guy, but these plans all went out the window when the chick's aunt, none other than his ex, Ginko, came to visit the hatchling, and the memories came flooding back.
Immediately, the Traveller high-tailed it out of there, hustling to do the other thing he always does and collect a bit of Profit before making his way out of town. Thoughts of his offspring on his mind and his sack of spoils in hand, he looked for the best place to take stock, when he collided violently with...another chicken:
Immediately, the Traveller was filled with a sense of unease; he knew this chicken; why was she here? Just in being near her again, the Traveller felt a strange dropping in his stomach as something shift in the air around him. In the confusion of the moment, she seemed not to recognize him, and he thought it best he make his escape before she did.
Finally, he was able to take a moment to breathe, but it was not long before something else occurred, something bizarre, something that had never happened to him in his life:
He laid an egg.
Reeling, the Traveller tried to remain in the coop and deal with whatever was going on here, but the pressure proved too much, and the moment he found a warm nest to stash this mysterious egg in, he flapped away as fast as he could to the next closest coop, the home of @chickenborg, hoping that his problems wouldn't follow him...
