This really isn't an official contest, but it said predictions go here and this more or less counts as a prediction. XD If Zulu wants, she could add little mini-prizes or something, but if she doesn't want to then it'll just be for fun. Course, I might make little badges for the winners that can be put in your signature. I dunno, haven't decided yet. I'm home sick, so I really have nothing better to do. XD;;

Yes, I know its a little late, but blech.. I wasn't up to it last night. x_X

TEH EGGZORS - Twilight Dreams Clutch!

Silvered Landscapes Egg
With a pale silver shell striated with white and pale, pale cream variations, this shell resembles the far off horizon of a desert plain, or a dreamscape of moon-gilded fields. It is a simple shell, but upon touching, the true depth of this egg comes to the forefront. Those who touch this egg instantly notice the unique texture of the shell, soft as silk and seeming to give beneath them, but becoming hard as rock when pressed. It is content in its ream and will let some enter briefly, but it is its own, and no one can shatter that reality.

Ethereal Skies Egg
A pale wash of pink and gold, this egg resembles the sky of dusk, but extremely faded. Or it could be the area between dreams, where one floats out of time and space, seeming to move without moving. Or it could simply be the work of one's imagination, creating pictures from the swirls of pale color where there were none before. Unlike some of its siblings, this egg enjoys company and welcomes those who touch it. Often they leave feeling a sense of creativity or an imaginative picture in their minds that calms whatever racing emotions they may have.

Dawn Illusions Egg
Like the time before the false dawn, this egg appears light and dark and faded at the same time. With greyish blues predominating, the egg shows signs of the coming dawn in faded red swirls near the top of the egg. The aura surrounding this egg is one of expectation and dread at the same time. It is expecting the coming of dawn, awaiting the sun's warm breath, but at the same time worried that it might not come. Those who touch it leave feeling excited and expectant, but with a tinge of worry.

Parallel Worlds Egg
Like it's opposite twin, the Divided Memories Egg, this egg too is of a simple black and white coloring. But whereas the Divided Minds is white on top and black on bottom, this egg is just the opposite. Sitting next to its twin, the two look rather comical, being so clear cut within a clutch of ambiguities. But to defy this appearance, this particular egg, when touched, gives those who come near mixed feelings about the world in which they live. They will often see a memory from a different perspective or occurring in so slightly a different way to completely alter their life as they know it today. Such feelings may intrigue some but drive others away. Like its sibling, this egg could care less.

Midnight Waking Egg
One of the largest eggs in the clutch, this egg rests close to its mother, guarded by her forepaws at all times. Its dark shell is covered in gold swirls and striations, almost seeming to mimic wind or water. These bright contrasts catch the eye just as the mind is caught on the first memory of a dream upon waking. The shocking clarity of these swirls reminds some of the intense emotions that often accompany a sudden waking in the middle of the night. Often, those who touch this egg will feel a sudden need to run just for the sake of running, or to release the emotions they hide from themselves. For in dreams, emotions rule.

Transient Thoughts Egg
A cool blue and white shell, this egg is one of the calmer ones in the clutch. Being on the smaller side, this eggs mystifying shell catches many an eye only have them slide right across its shell and to its neighbor, the Celestial Wisps Egg. So blended is this eggs coloring, that most don't notice that it is in fact two colors, not just the cool blue it appears from a distance. Towards the top of this egg, the white tendrils blending with the blue are most prominent, as if wanting to escape through the top of the shell. It is this sort of emotion that assaults those who touch this egg. The need to pray on an unseen force to help them accomplish something. Often, people leave feeling incomplete after touching this egg, as if their dreams--though fulfilled--have become meaningless.

Celestial Wisps Egg
Nearly the exact opposite its sibling, the Midnight Waking Egg, this egg is very bright in color, having a white base instead of the dark black. It has the same golden wisps covering its shell, but they seem much fainter on the lighter background, less pronounced. They seem to be floating above the surface of the egg, an illusion dashed as soon as one touches it. The feelings this egg gives those who brave its dominating neighbor are those of joy and bubbly exuberance. Even the most morose of people have felt light-hearted after touching this particular shell. Because of this, it is often a favorite to touch, a fact it doesn't mind at all.

Nightmare Egg
Sitting next to its bright neighbor is this menacing egg. A dark midnight blue in color, it seems to loom over the Celestial Wisps Egg, as if trying to drown its out its brightness with its own hatred of the eggs popularity. Red splotches cover this dark shell, looking like red whirling eyes or bloodstains on the shell. It never wanted the evil look it was given. And it resents the beauty of its neighbor. For this it treats those who touch it with ire, often giving them an almost physical shock if they dare touch it after touching the Celestial Wisps Egg. However, if one does think to touch its shell before touching its neighbors, it rewards them with a sense of belonging and grudging respect.

Lucid Dreaming Egg
Originally, this egg was supposed to be a uniform, dull grey in color. But after falling into the Sands, the life within decided that it did not want such a dull shell for itself. By some measure, the edges of this egg seem faded, no matter from what angle it is seen. The center always seems a middling grey tone, but the edges fade to a thin white that seems to blend with whatever is seen behind it. This effect will either have people staring at it for many minutes, trying to figure out the phenomenon, or eyes will slide right over it, simply seeing what is beyond rather than before. But this egg doesn't really notice. Those who touch the egg are often confused by its lack of response. Really, the egg just doesn't notice them. It is now content with its shell and has simply fallen back to sleep.

Haunted Nights Egg
This egg, like its sibling the Nightmare Egg, is also a rather menacing presence within the clutch. Being of a dark orange color the fades to black at the base, its large foreboding presence seems to cast a shadow over its more pleasant neighbor, the Aurora Egg. And this egg seems almost angry that its darkness cannot quench the brightness of the Aurora Egg's swirls. Those who dare to come near this egg are often met with distant anger or annoyance, as if the egg were unhappy about the interruption in trying to dominate its sibling. Those couple it does bother to examine closer, however, often leave feeling a sense of grudging respect, and a select few think they hear a pleased laugh coming from within the shell.

Astral Projections Egg
Seeming rather simple when compared to its closest neighbors, the Haunted Nights and Aurora Eggs, this egg is a dark black in color with soft grey wisps swirling around its base. These thin lines of color seem to be trying to reach their way upwards, towards the white top of the egg where enlightenment is sure to lie. Those who brave the daunting presence of the Haunted Nights Egg to touch this shell are welcomed with a feeling of mild surprise, as if the egg hadn't been expecting visitors. But they are welcomed warmly nonetheless and leave with a feeling of belonging and an invitation to return whenever they wish. Of course, the egg will forget them as soon as they leave, but that just means they will feel the same surprised welcome upon returning.

Repressed Spirit Egg
Laying very near its protective mother, this egg tends to worry those who see it. Though its shell seems rather plain, there is something about it that causes those to see it to look twice. A stark white is the base of this shell, pure as snow. But from the bottom of it snakes tiny, wispy, faded crimson tendrils meander their ways upwards, as if trying to overcome the pure white shell. Most who dare the mother's presence to touch the one she guards so fiercely leave rather quickly. Like its sibling the Ghostly Remembrance Egg, this egg draws on the memories of those who touch it. Except this egg also tries to fight those memories within the minds of the people who touch it. The red tendrils draw out the worst memories while the white purity does its best to suppress them. With two forces in their minds, most do not brave a second touching.

Divided Memories Egg
The exact opposite of its twin, the Parallel Worlds Egg, this egg is made up of solid blocks of black and white. With its white top and black bottom, the egg looks almost comical amid its swirled and faded siblings. The two polar eggs sit next to each other, however, seeming to comfort each other in their uniqueness. This particular egg seems almost bi-polar in the emotions it portrays. Not anger or depression, but almost as if it can't make up its mind what it really wants others to feel. Some leave feeling happy and content while others just leave confused by the bundle of emotions stemming from the egg. It doesn't mean to do this. It just can't help itself.

Ghostly Remembrance Egg
A faded gold color is this egg. Light grey swirls cover the shell as well, as if trying to hide the gold from sight. The grey swirls spiral down from the top of the shell, thinning as they get closer to the bottom as if the gold were fighting back, repelling whatever touch the grey brings with it. Those who touch this pale shell often leave quickly, frightened by the forgotten memories this egg brings to the surface. But it's perfectly fine with this. It would rather be left alone to fight its own battle than be overloaded with the memories of others.

Aurora Egg
Most surprising about this egg is not its bright, swirling exterior, but the feeling of calm it exudes. With one of the brightest shells in the clutch, this egg seems perfectly content with itself. With swirls of crimson, blue, and violet decorating a black shell, the egg reminds those who look upon it of the Ghosts that inhabit the night sky on cold winter nights. Those who caress its shell, not only receive a warm reassurance from the egg, but the odd feeling of something returning the gentle touch. Some find this effect startling a jerk their hands away, causing the egg to be disappointed. But those that remain connected end up leaving feeling refreshed, as if breathing the crisp clear air of a winter morning.

Abyss' Embrace Egg
One of the oddest eggs of the clutch, this egg is the color of pure pitch. A pure and unbroken black, this egg seems to suck all the light around it into its shell, leaving a dark aura in its place. But, for those Candidates brave enough to face the cold distance this egg exudes and actually touch the unending surface, those rare few will be surprised to find the shell warm to the touch. Not overbearingly so, but just right, as if the egg knows just how warm to make its shell for a particular person. The egg is not picky about who touches it. It just takes a little bit of will power to get past its outer defenses.
