Nothing of note here. All seems quiet. There's nothing but you, your dragon, the sweep riders, the sky, and the sea.

Rider Name: Skylla
Dragon Name & Color Green Neith

Quote:

71-74. While searching for the Southern Star, you encounter an alarmingly dashing dolphineer. He or she seems... surprisingly friendly, considering the company you've recently been keeping. It becomes readily apparent that s/he has amorous intentions and you may either stay and enjoy a night of it with the dashing dolphineer (facing the consequences of abandoning your post upon your return) or get out of dodge.

Skylla is going to get out of dodge.

Dragon Name & Color Brown Wolveth

Quote:

75.You have discovered a wild wher clutch! It appears abandoned, though. Maybe the mother perished, as it looks like a fight broke out not too long ago. Are you sure you want to stick around to find out what happened? You may choose to snag one of the eggs to sell or give to a local wherhandler. From the underbrush you hear a low, rattling growl. Better get back on your dragon! [If you choose to pass, you are no longer eligible for future wher prizes for the duration of this game. If you want the surprise wher, quote Mr Cheri & Uta and we will drop a pet off for you!]

Quote:

51-55. One of the local holds is holding a Gather and they've invited you to attend as their honored guests. If you choose to join in the celebrations you will find yourself very much behind schedule and also in heaps of trouble. However, the local vintage is very good and you caught some promising looks from the holders if you happen to be a brown or bronzerider. If you're a white, blue, or greenrider they're friendly but not quite as awestruck.

(The zing to the ego, ow)

If you choose to stay, please quote your Wingleader and let them know. The next morning you find yourself alone with nothing but the memory of your time together to keep you warm. S/he took everything you own, you shaffing deadglow.

Sorry Z'haq. Zi is not a smart man.

I Fly With Fire Storm
Rider Name: L'rua
Dragon Name & Color Blue Invenirth

Quote:

36-40. You find yourself bumping into some unaffiliated riders you don't recognize.
--If you're from Fire Storm: These riders are from some of the other Weyrs on Pern. They're simply checking out the coast on a rest day, and interested in seeing the black sand beaches of some of the islands. They're a friendly enough lot, ready to take some down time, and forget about Thread for a day. They invite you to join their part... but Duty calls. [If your character would ditch work to party it up with some new friends, then you'd better let your Wingleader know, because word would definitely get back. << And now you're in troooouble.]

No partying for L'rua.

I Fly With Star Flame
Rider Name: A'iel
Dragon Name & Color Bronze Nasath

Quote:

27-30. While the day started off sunny and warm, as the afternoon wears on the clouds build and a line of squalls form. If you're a brown or bronze rider, you are able to fly through the squall and fight the worst of the winds. If you're a white, blue, or green, you may either decide to fight the winds and fly through it (though your dragon might well wind up a bit exhausted afterwards) or you can turn round and avoid the worst of it.

Nasath always did handle a bit like a boat. They wade through the storm without trouble or too much effort, both driven to do their full sweep before turning in—A'iel to help the slow rebuilding of himself in the Weyr's eyes, and Nasath to please A'iel.

I Fly With Fire Storm
Rider Name: Amna
Dragon Name & Color White Zunulth

Quote:

61-64. You come across a small cothold that was clearly hit badly with Thread during the last Fall.
If you are from Firestorm: No one survived and there's nothing left to be done but flame the whole place.
Report back to the the Weyrleader with this information as it is clear that someone is not doing their job. There are evidently holes in the Weyr's Threadfall charts.

Zunulth is highly upset by this, but Amna is more or less unphased, or at least being strong for her dragon. They report back, and Amna comforts the white by promising they'll do better next time.
