Egg Palisman - Blog Posts
Sequel to this
For people who don't know Pokémon, Mewtwo isn't a naturally occurring pokémon, he's a clone! He was created from another pokémon's dna to be used as a weapon---I think Hunter and Vee would would relate.

Luz holds Togepi in her arms and addresses her friends saying, "Guys, I want you all to meet my palisman! Togepi! Amity, Willow, Hunter, and Vee all oo and aww over it while Gus asks, "Cool! Is it based on a human realm animal?" Luz answers, "Well, actually no. He's a pokémon!" The five friends stare at her blankly. Luz realizes her mistake and continues, "Oh right that doesn't mean anything to you. A pokémon is... Hmm... maybe it would be easier to just show you guys a few episodes. Oo and the movies!" Several hours later Pokémon The First Movie is on the tv screen at the part where the pokémon Mewtwo says, "I see now the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant; it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." Hunter and Vee are sobbing. Amity leans in to Luz to whisper, "Are they gonna be alright?" Luz says, "Maybe this was a bad idea.]
My totally Real and completely Serious prediction for season 3.
Sequel here!
[Image ID: a four page comic depicting Luz talking to her egg palisman. The egg sits on a table on a nest of blankets while Luz slumps on the table and looks at the egg sadly. She sits up and sighs. Luz says "Sometimes I worry you'll never hatch." The egg has no response. Luz continues, "Y'know it's kinda funny. At the palismam adoption day a couple months ago, all I wanted was to be a witch, but I guess I didn't really know what that meant at the time." The egg is unresponsive. Luz starts to cry as she continues, "Now it feels like all I want is to get back to the Boiling Isles. I need to make sure they're okay. Eda. King. Everyone. The thing is, Eda and King, and then Willow and Gus, and everyone else, they were the first people to really 'get' me... I can't lose them... but I can't lose my mom either..." At this point her eyes are closed and she does not notice the egg begin to wiggle and crack. She says, "Really what I want is just to keep my loved ones safe and feel like there's a place where I belong. The egg cracks loudly and Luz's eyes open wide as she says "HUH!?" The egg wiggles some more, then pops out it's left foot with an interlock on it. Then it's right foot and both stubby arms pop out. The the top cracks open revealing a pointed head. The head unfolds to reveal her palisman is Togepi, a pokémon with an egg body and star shaped head. It happily says "Toh-gi! Toh-gi!" Luz gasps and stars and hearts fill her eyes. She says "Oh my gosh I love you so much!"
