What. Just.. what? The flurry of movement and the excitement of the Fool Egg hit her at the same time like something almost too hot to touch. Too stunned to make up her mind about what in the world was going on, the best she could do was answer the Fool Egg's wishes and faithfully describe the scene as she could see it. I don't know. she replied numbly. There was a crack, but I don't see anything that suggests the egg itself is broken. she told it, though from its tone it almost seemed like it was hoping that it would be.
---
Wow! Okay. Ened pulled her hand back almost like she had just touched fire. The pure, raw negative emotions that hit her when she touched it was like a punch in the arm. Oh no.. What did she do? She certainly, absolutely didn't mean to upset it that much. Her eyes widened as the egg began to physically jerk itself backwards, more or less taking itself out of the Touching. Apparently it had had enough. She was still sorting though the feeling she had gotten from it, but one thing seemed to surface and it had to do with a certain red egg that was so much the center of all this. Was that what the golden egg had been talking about?
She still didn't think it was the Devil Egg's fault.. She'd only gone to see it just like any other egg deserved to be seen. But still, she felt bad. Especially now that she got why the Empress had been upset. Hesitating, she reached out one finger towards its gold shell. It wasn't for your sake, was it? she thought, wincing, as she expected some backlash for this. I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to upset it.

Empress Egg
At first, when Luiciand's hand touched its shell, the large egg radiated despair and panic, the emotions rising to a crescendo as time wore on. The egg had felt, rather than merely heard, that crack. It had felt its sibling's distress, and the alarm of the other. Help me! the egg cried, needing to know its siblings were okay. HELP ME! And the egg cried out for its Mother, Mother who knew just what to do, Mother who could make all right. The compulsion from the Empress egg was real, in the moment of pure panic, and it extended beyond Luiciand, to all who might be near.
Empress Egg
You did this! It was you! You upset its sibling, and now it may very well be hurt! GO! MAKE IT RIGHT! RIGHT NOW! There was no escaping the strength behind the egg's unwavering command. It didn't mean any harm, but it was desperately afraid, and terribly upset. No. Not for me. HELP, HELP, HELP! In its distress, the egg began to shake, to rock in place, almost as if it, too, were trying to move. Only the little egg leaning against it kept it from rolling, itself.

The sudden throb of chaotic emotions, the literal screams of her children, and the almost sickening crack sound lanced through Uridith like a bolt of lightning, hot and white. The gold's head which had been bent to observe Devil and it's visitors snapped up, pale green eyes leeching to yellow, to orange, to red. In a heartbeat she was on her feet, wings flaring slightly to make her loom even larger over the scattered eggs and children. It was only Lestenna's mental hand reaching out that kept her from surging forth immediately, checking her speed so as to keep anyone from being trampled in her blind rush to check the eggs that had collided.
What Lestenna could not stop though was the gold's mental bellow, a whipping fury of sound that was only partially heard with ears: the gold's chest pulsed, air rushing out in a pained hiss that terminated in a low rumble of a growl. She lurched forward, stepping over the heads of any candidates near Devil, her tail lashing and cracking behind her. Enough! I was promised care, and caution, and now...Out. Out! Get out! Her voice seemed to echo in the minds of all present, the raging tone carrying an odd weight, and with it the strange compulsion to obey. Not a command, but nearly, and anyone watching Lestenna would see a tick of her eyebrow as she grit her teeth against the gold's will.
Uridith did not wait for the candidates to scatter, but strode over them to Moon and the yellow NPC egg. Her movements seemed almost frantic as she huddled over the eggs, her growl twisting to a pained sort of gurgling wail. Her nose dipped to the pair of eggs, turning them gently but rapidly, searching for any defect or damage, now wholly absorbed in tending and then calming them, when in fact no crack was revealed.
Across the sand, Lestenna had turned to fix Gr'del with her gaze, and a sharp gesture towards the crowd and then the exit to the sands made it clear that she agreed with the gold's wishes for them to vacate the area wholeheartedly.

[Backdated, pre-drama]
Smaller egg? he thought, looking around the sands. He'd seen a couple smallish eggs already- the grey and green and bright orange ones. But who else? He was certainly grateful for the advice, and the comfort sense of the strength the Tower Egg seemed to be send him, restoring him somewhat from the more emotionally trying of the eggs. There were a few it could be- a pink one near by, a small white one next to the big gold egg. Deciding to try that first, Timor thanked the larger green egg and moved towards the Magician Egg.
Might have something in common.. he thought, curiously. What, do you like the stars too? he asked with a laugh as he touched the egg's shell. But silly, of course they'd never seen them before. Maybe you're curious too? he tried, letting memories of every new discovery, every on-the-road experiemnt he'd performed with his sister flow through his mind. Or maybe I'm wrong and we've nothing in common at all! he thought, pausing to laugh about it.

Moving around the sands, Ened went from egg to egg methodically, making sure she didn't leave a single one out, from the bright orange egg nestled against its sibling to a green one half buried in the sand. No one could say she hadn't done her due diligence, or that she didn't give her full attention to each egg with care. There was just one left that she didn't get a proper chance to talk to. Waiting until the other two candidates had moved away, Ened bowed again to the queen and returned, finally, to Devil Egg.
Hello, precious. We never got to finish our conversation from before. she said.
---

Smallish and brightly colored, Cami went to touch the Star Egg that was sitting so neatly beneath the big blue egg she'd seen before. Hello. How could I have missed you there? she thought, as bright as its shell was. Nevermind. Save the best for last right? How are you? she thought and already, she'd noticed, she was getting more comfortable with this than she had been at the start of the Touching. Eggs were surprisingly easy to talk to, she thought.
---
Sure! What would make it a great one? Riagan asked, wanting to make the egg happy, though he wasn't totally sure how. He didn't know what it found interesting, so he tried to think about what he found interesting. He thought about molten melting glass and how he could form it into shapes and color at his will. He thought about fishing with his dad. And dragons. Flying on dragons, watching dragons fly.. You'll be there soon. He thought to the egg. We're all looking forward to it!
Trying to get round the rest of the clutch, he finally made it to a peaceful looking egg, half nuzzled into the sands. You look comfy there. he thought, touching the The Heirophant Egg

Demanthra could feel the tiredness from the star egg as it reached out to her, the same feeling its sibling had tried to hide when she touched its bright blue shell. It was also how judgement had felt when it gave her appreciation for what she said to it too. It made her feel a little bad, the poor dragnets were getting tired and probably needed a good rest. She could feel the little egg's attempt to sparkle for her and her heart went out to the baby. Then she caught wind of the apology, even if some might have missed it.
Oh no, little one, do not feel bad at all. You and your siblings have had a very long day, of course you can be tired. Thank you for trying for me though, it is so greatly appreciated. You shine in your own little way, do not forget that, okay? You and your siblings are each special in your own way. Sometimes you need a little help to shine as brightly as you are meant to do,she assured ever so gently. She was just about to say good bye, wondering if she should see any of the other eggs, when things seemed to get out of hand. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the moon egg starting to rock and then start to roll down. Her heart sank when she heard what sounded like a crack and was sure she saw a yellow egg near where moon had landed. What had gotten the moon so upset, had it been what had happened earlier with the devil egg?
She tried to get a closer look, to make sure the yellow egg was alright, when she saw Uridith get up. Her right hand got protective on its touch of the star egg and she reached for the sun egg with the other. She sent soothing thoughts to both dragnets inside, not wanting them to worry too much. She wished she could protect all the eggs, but this was the best she could do. When Uridith ordered them all off the sands, she nodded her understanding. She kissed each of her hands and placed them on star and sun gently, letting them know mentally she would see them again. Then she hurried over to where their candidatemaster was waiting for them. She didn't want to make the golden dragon upset at her and she had already been feeling bad for the babies being tired. It seemed someone had just made her more firm in her decision of wanting to let the lives in the eggs rest.

The intensity of the egg's reaction startled her, and for half a moment she was worried she'd done something wrong. They'd been told to think positive thoughts, after all. But it wasn't that. It was that she had been raised to be less, to settle, never be anything more than a girl, a wife, a mother. No one had cared whether she wanted it or not, no one had ever believed in her. As the presence within the egg enveloped her and raised her up, showing her that her family was wrong and she could be anything, do anything, silent tears welled up and spilled over.
Any resolve not to linger was entirely forgotten, lost in everything the egg made her feel. And until Uridith demanded they all leave, she had no idea anything had happened. She blinked away tears as she raised her head and looked around, confused but also angry - whatever had been done, whoever had done it, they all had to bear the consequences and leave. She didn't want to. She wanted to sink down onto the hot Sands beside the Tower and tell it everything, because finally someone would listen to her bottled-up frustrations and doubts and not dismiss them, but rather support her. But she couldn't stay. Something's happened, we all have to go now, she told it, more tears coming unbidden. She'd probably never have a chance to speak to the dragon again this way, once it hatched and found its rider. I'm sorry.
Nadry bent and kissed its green shell. Thank you.
Reluctantly, she lifted her hand, though she lingered near the egg just long enough to wipe away tears and compose herself. No one else needed to know she'd been crying. Already feeling lonelier, she slunk back to where they'd come in to wait for instruction from the Candidatemaster.

Mallan gasped at the impression he got of a bow from judgement, "please don't" he blushed, embarrassed. He smiled "but thank you, I can't wait to see you all" he felt humble, but proud he did the right thing, surprised the eggs felt such gratitude. "See you soon" he whispered, giving a small bow in return before moving off to the next egg. He took a deep breath and placed his hand on The High Priestess Egg, a soft, calming coloured shell but he was there for a moment when they were all forced to leave "sorry, see you soon" he said to the egg, marching off the Sands.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rokar swallowed "I can but try egg, thank you" he croaked, leaving Emperor, and moving towards The Heirophant Egg but the Queen was agitated, he frowned and moved away from the eggs, before the command was issued, mulling over what Emperor had said while leaving the sands. No one argued with a mother dragon

Feeling the egg perk at first Caderyn smiled, though that smile soon vanished at what he felt from the Moon Egg. He tried to tell the egg that he was not humoring it, that he was sorry for what had happened but it had jerked away from him. He felt confused as he watched this, his hand no longer on the shell but he could still feel the anger from the egg and he backed away from it, deciding to leave the little one inside alone. He was not going to pressure it to talk to him if it didn't want to, especially when it had moved so violently. He was bending down to touch another egg when he heard the loud crack from nearby.
His head jerking up, hearing that it had come from the direction of the Moon Egg, Caderyn turned to see what had happened. He saw Ened there but he knew no candidate would be stupid enough to push an egg, had it unbalanced itself when it moved to get away from him before, had it done the same when Ened had touched it's shell? He didn't know, but the wailing he could feel from the egg cut him to the core. He wanted to go to it, to comfort it, but knew there was no need, and he was right. Just as he finished that thought Uridith had come over to them, checking her eggs and just in a very bad mood. He honestly didn't blame her, this touching was one of the more chaotic ones he had been apart of and he felt a lot of it had been his fault. Though perhaps he did rightly place blame on the egg every other egg had referred to as the bad egg.
Listening and heeding Uridith's words, Caderyn backed away from the eggs, being careful to move through the sands so that he was once again at the edge. He wouldn't leave the sands completely until Gr'del spoke, he was worried he might get a lecture because of their actions here, or remedial lessons. But had it all been the candidate's faults? Falling into the Devil's snare was easy when you hoped that if you made the egg happy it might Impress to you upon hatching day. He felt just as tired as the eggs, he was sure, all he wanted to do was go back to his room and fall into bed. Perhaps not even leave the room only for lessons, until this touching and what had happened fell away to memory. He was sure, or at least worried, he might get bothered or teased about how he had been the first Candidate to fall to the Devil's snare.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the egg didn't answer, though he could easily feel that it was listening, Dorianus smiled softly. There was no need to speak and he was grateful for that. He had pushed himself beyond what he was use to or comfortable with in this hatching. He stayed there, lightly stroking the shell of the High Priestess enjoying the quiet for a moment. Other thoughts ran through his mind, as they always did. Thoughts of his craft, new ways he could try to help keep others from experiencing pain while under the knife. It was after a while that Dorianus finally lifted his hand after he spoke one last time. I thank you, for listening.
As the tall boy was standing to his full height, he heard the crack that drew everyone's attention. His grey eyes looked at the egg that had moved out of it's hollow and had hit another. His analytical eyes were searching for a crack from where he was standing and he even continued to search as Uridith had responded and moved to her eggs, moving them around. He was glad when he didn't see anything had happened to them. They both seemed okay, but he was sure the dragonnets inside were startled by whatever had happened.
Heeding Uridith's command, and seeing the gesture that Lestenna had given to Gr'del, Dorianus moved away from the eggs, moving to wait with the others. His eyes found Caderyn, watching the other boy and he had a feeling he would have to play some damage duty. The two were not best friends, but being roommates they had begun to look out for one another. It would do no good for him to fall apart after this because a touching had been a bit more active then usual. Dorianus had actually enjoyed it and found the red egg amusing. It wanted attention and it like to toy with others to get it. The hatchling was going to be very interesting, and he found himself wondering if he should speak to it once it found it's bonded. He would be curious how it acted outside of it's shell.

Goran carefully held Ichta's gaze for a moment before he nodded in turn, his eyes losing focus as the egg suddenly emanated sensations. This egg was.... strong. It seemed to know him, seemed to understand, and he very nearly listened to the subtle command to stay. Another part of him bristled, however, not liking the suggestion. He could not stay, not when their time was so short as it was. He carefully tried to keep his thoughts polite. It would not be fair... and somehow, he was even more repulsed because it had mentioned Ichta. It should focus on finding it's life partner, shouldn't it? He would not linger, not for long--and the huge head of Uridith gazing down at them was enough to awe the young man.
Then, there was chaos.
There was a crack, and Goran spun wildly to see that two of the eggs had collided. The sudden, frenzied plea for help was enough to make his stomach coil, and he immediately found himself stepping towards the Empress with clenched fists. What could he do? He didn't know--
--and then the golden dragon was stepping over him, causing him to gape like a wherry even as he tried to stumble out of her path. Urdith's roar within his mind was enough to make him stumble again, immediately veering towards Gr'del without hesitation. He searched for Ichta sharply, the tension in his shoulders relaxing only slightly when he saw that she was safe.
I am sorry. He thought towards Uridith without thinking. She had allowed them to approach her children, and it seemed as though it had gone quite poorly.
Were all Hatchings this way? He wondered...
ShinosBee Accidentally thinking towards mama dragon!

He’d thought the Tower was upset with him, at first... then in his mind he saw a clear image of his uncle’s face, cast in the orange hues of the dragonet’s emotions. “Y-you know about that?” Lenix stammered. He’d been raised as a glorified drudge, a nobody, only to find out that his true identity was one of a decidedly higher class. His stomach clenched with resentment and anxiety. He still felt like nobody, still felt a barrier in between himself and any higher aspiration.
The dragonet seemed to be exploring his thoughts. He withdrew a few mental steps backward at first, feeling uncomfortably exposed as it focused on his secrets. But The Tower did not ridicule him. It gave only validation. His dreams could be reality. Those barriers could be broken down. Lenix gripped the egg’s shell with both hands, as if taking hold of a person’s shoulders, his heart pumping. He was on the verge of a triumphant shout, or perhaps a fervent sob of relief – no one would hear whichever one it turned out to be, for the sands suddenly became chaotic with noise and movement.
--------------------------------------------------
Uridith was on the move again! This time, Karone was right in her path, standing with Lenix beside the Tower, which was very close to the Moon egg. The gold dragon barreled through the eggs and candidates, miraculously not crushing anyone, and literally stood over top of the boys as she ministered to her children. Karone would later marvel over how he’d gotten to stare up at the heaving underbelly of the immense dragon, every breath saturated with the spicy scent of her glistening hide, but in the present there was risk of accidental harm to everyone and Uridith wanted them off the sands, NOW. He grabbed hold of Lenix’s shirt and yanked him to his feet. Lenix blurted something incomprehensible but full of emotion, and fought him for a few moments before allowing Karone to pull him away to the sidelines.
If another candidate was within reach, Karone would try to take hold of an arm and pull them to safety, too.

((OOCly: I'm writing final responses to folks,
even if their characters moved on. I figure this way they'l have what the response would have been before and while Uridith ordered them all out.))
The Devil Egg
The Red Egg seemed to look over at the other, and if an egg could smirk it would. It remembers this one. How kind of her to return. That's right why not settle in and cozy on up to it? Would this girl have the stones to defy its mother and stay? It's clear Ened knows which egg is best, and the Devil won't forget it.
The Star Egg
The Star would give a strained if sleepy and ever gentle-greeting to the girl. There is nothing to fear, and nothing to hide from it. Like with all the others, the Star wold try hard to stay awake, to try to give the Candidate all that it could -- but it was difficult. Like a flickering flame, or the twinkling of a star come morning, the little eggs touch would eventually flutter and fade.
The Heirophant
The egg would exude a presence of relaxation, calm, and contentedness. Of course it's comfortable. It has the best and warmest spot on the Sands. It is rather glad that the boy decided to take a spell and hunker on down. It might be partially buried, but it liked it just where it was. An egg was meant to be on the sands, and the Heirophant was just that. Candidates were also meant to be on the Sands, so Riagan and it were almost one in the same. Ho ho ho. Like two eggs on a mound. Once again, the egg seems to laugh at its own form of cleverness... Which isn't clever at all.
The Devil Egg
Ah, that was a good girl, wasn't it? The Devil was pleased that Ichta had decided to remain, and was more than content to keep her there. All it wanted was some positive attention. Ichta was so kind to give it, to remain. Stay, girl. Stay. Disregard the commotion. When Uridith commanded everyone out, its tight attempted to grip like a vice ... But alas, it was not to be. The last thing Ichta would feel was disgruntlement and irritation.
The Fool Egg
Oh really? The egg almost sounded a touch disappointed. Not that the egg wished any harm on its siblings, of course not. But it would have been awfully interesting if a dragon was hatched, wouldn't it? The Fool would break out of its shell now if it could and go help. Alas, it's stuck.
The Fool Egg
The excitement never dimmed, even as the egg was concerned about its siblings. Oh wow! What a cracker that was -- get it? Cracker? Cracked? As in egg? The Fool seemed to laugh at its own morbid humor, hoping Amila might feel the same. While the girl was worried, The Fool wasn't overly concerned. Surely, its siblings were just fine. Right?
The Moon Egg
The Moon's dramatics would calm down after a spell, though Uridith can tell it is a bit rattled by its unexected roll. It hadn't intended to cause such a scene, but its wallow had been all wrong. Still, the egg would quiet and still, pressed against both Uridith and its canary yellow sibling.
The NPC Egg
The egg would lean against Uridith, as if seeking more assurance. It was startled, and alarmed by the situation, but all is forgiven with mother near.
The Star & The Sun
The Star would have jerked awake as soon as the two eggs collided, and its own fear would be sharp to Demanthra, and Cami.
The Sun would be surprised, but very quickly try to counter the Star's fear, by sending assurance as it could. Anyone nearby would likely feel such a strange emotion, as it does its best to keep hope afloat. All will be well.
Farewell, Demanthra. Happy days ahead of you.
The Devil Egg
The power within the Devil would reach out and try to ensnare Goran, even as the other boy resisted. Strange, peculiar... Goran simply didn't know what he was missing out on! Goran, Goran, Goran... All you need to do is give in. As the boy rejected the egg, the egg's grip would try to tighten, but it was all for naught. Like Ichta, the last thing Goran would feel was a very disgruntled egg.
~ ~ ~ ~
Siriath bellowed his frustration and fear as Uridith roared her frustration. Gr'del was astonished. One minute he'd been making his rounds, ensuring nobody was getting particularly cozy, and within the fraction of a second, an egg toppled. He didn't know what happened -- had it been pushed, had it rolled of its own volition? But it didn't matter.
All he cold sense was Siriath's fear and concern, but also the gold's wratch. He didn't need to catch Lestenna's eye -- though their eyes met all the same. He knew immediately what to do.
This touching was over.
"Candidates! To the Barracks. Immediately.." There was steel within his words, and he made sure that all could hear. He tried to catch E'ion's gaze, so the other man might help usher anyone straggling behind. Gr'del would ensure these Sands were cleared out completely within moments. "NOW." He shooed a few obstinate Candidates away from their eggs, and would remain on the Sands until every last body had vacated, along with E'ion.
Siriath's eyes were still yellow in fear, even as the brown made sure no Candidate decided to try to give them the slip. The brown would make sure everyone made it back to their quarters.
Gr'del bowed low to Lestenna and Uridith as he made his retreat, knowing full well he might very well have to grovel to someone later that night. He didn't know what happened, and felt entirely responsible. Was he getting soft? Had he not enforced the rules hard enough? Faranth help him, he'd be lucky if he still had his position come morning. He was certain none of his charges had actually done something so stupid as to push the eggs. They were all good kids, and some of them more like young men and women. Perhaps he'd need to speak to E'ion to see if the man noticed anything amiss. And yet...
Well.
It didn't matter. Whatever happened, he would accept full responsibility. He was not going to make excuses. Perhaps a shorter visit next time, or perhaps not a Touching so late in the game. The eggs shells were hardening fast. Had he made a miscalculation on when to bring the Candidates? A thousand thoughts whirled through the man's brain as he exited the Hatching sands.
Something told him that, later tonight, when all was said and done, he was going to need a very hard drink.
((OK guys! We're going to wrap up this thread. gaia_star Congratulations on getting through our very first, if a bit dramatic, Touching!
Your characters will be expected to return back to the Barracks and will likely remain there the rest of the day, at least until dinner. There will likely be a lecture and Q&A session the next morning, assuming Gr'del still gets to keep his job.
gaia_star
You guys can keep RPing. The Hatching will happen soon.
Soon.

(Just a finishing post for Alander, I don't expect replies from the eggs he visited. <3 )
Having spent some time with the Heirophant egg, Alander eventually made his apologies and moved on. After all, the candidates were supposed to introduce themselves to several eggs, he was sure. So the young candidate spent several minutes each with the Emperor, and the Sun eggs. Though he steered clear of the Empress, for obvious reasons. Alander himself was content to simply spend time with the eggs quietly, not really talking but simply offering his company and companionship.
The commotion that erupted startled the young teen as he was moving across the sands to visit the Tower egg. At once realizing that the Touching had not gone quite to plan for some eggs, he moved out of the way as the Queen went bounding over to the disturbance. Reaching out he helped a startled candidate to her feet and then, with a quiet word of reassurance, led her along with him as he made for the exit even as Gr'del was ordering them all off the Sands.

As much as Ened wanted to help the egg, as the Empress commanded, like the others she assumed it was best to let the mother dragon handle this. She did try to reassure the Empress as best she could, however. Don't worry, you're mum's on the case! She'll put it all right. Everything will be okay. she assured it, but did promptly step back at the gold's command and leave the sands with the others. Yikes! What a way to end!

Near by the action, at the Magician Egg, Timor was too absorbed in the egg to immediately notice what was going on. Even when he became aware of some flurry of movement across the sands, it was nothing that really alarmed him at this point. They'd had multiple eggs rolling around, and dragons stalking across the sands, he didn't think it was anything worse than all the events that had happened before. It wasn't until he heard the radiating cry of the Empress Egg, followed by the gold dragon's command that he realized something was off. Fortunately, another candidate was paying attention and Karone grabbed his arm, pulling him back from the eggs before the angry mother took someone's head off. "Ah.. thanks!" he said, still stunned and not entirely sure what was happening. He'd have to ask someone later.
Teiha Hope it's alright I had Timor be the one he grabbed, Teiha!
