A Real Life Secret Egg by teucer
April 16th, 2009 6:59 PMWith the malls closed on Easter, I had to make sure I left eggs that could be found before then, which made Good Friday my last chance to hide them. Luckily, I was scheduled to work all day, from when the mall opened to when it closed (eleven hours, of which two were my lunch and dinner break), giving me ample opportunity. And, since these were secret eggs, I couldn't tell any of my coworkers about them.
I prepared six eggs, each containing a poem written on cardstock. Then, at work, I wandered around hiding them. Given the secret nature of the eggs, it was very important to make sure nobody saw me hiding them. This proved inordinately difficult at a mall on a busy shopping day, and ultimately I was only able to find enough breaks in the pedestrian traffic to get three of them hidden. I knew I wouldn't have time for anything epic, but I expected to be able to hide all six. No dice. But I'm nonetheless pleased with the spots I found.
I'm guessing they've all been found by mall maintenance or similar. And if so, then I hope they appreciate the appearance of a little unexpected poetry interrupting an anonymous and largely thankless job, courtesy of an Easter Bunny who knows precisely what those are like.
Poetry

Six poems, ready for hiding. Blake's "The Tyger," Kipling's "Recessional," and Chambers' "Cassilda's Song" remain unhidden.

I wanted to, but quickly realized I couldn't do so without getting caught and thus blowing their secret status. Bunnies are never unaccompanied while in costume, and don't really do anything aside from sit at the set and travel between there and the room where we change; there's no time for just wandering around the mall as a bunny, because they'd have to pay you for that without getting paid for pictures.
Those are gonna be hidden for a loooong time, methinks...
Maybe. I have no idea how observant mall maintenance people and shoe salesmen are.
I should go back and find out if they're still there.
You didn't actually hide the eggs while in costume, did you?!
