It's Now The Monster Mash: The Spooky Clutch Hatching!

[Sinders Path]

Roana couldn't help but notice it, now the two bronzes were off the sands the whole feel of the hatching had taken a distinctly positive shift. The air felt less oppressive and even the queen dragon who had looked at deaths door mere moments ago was suddenly brighter, she even started to hork down a few of the large beasts that had been left as scattered offerings. Add to that the distinct decrease in maulings and Roana started to relax.

"Yea, try the healer area." Roana added her voice to another she had heard in the crowd directed at the blue riding high on his father. But there was no real time to linger on one dragon. There were still plenty of other hatchlings on the sand to worry about, and though she felt no malice or ill intent, apart from the smoldering anger in Frankenstein, well it paid to be vigilante. She was turning back to the sands when she felt a tickle at the corner of her mind. She had felt it before when she had been knocked flat by the blue's charge but now she turned to see Diesteth and the smaller form of Nicara, she waved at them to assure them both she was fine.

Then she refocused on the crack of a shell and the new Djinn spilling out, well someone thought a lot of themselves. To her surprise she suddenly found that she was enjoying herself. Before that had been impossible, she has been too tense. too weary. But now with the shift in mood it was easier to admire the babies.

She put a hand on Iathe's shoulder so she could turn on her injured leg to look at the bulging brown and his other blue brother.

Damon felt quite done with the drama of bronzes. His eyes were drawn to the new Djinn blue. Now that was a fine fine creature with an interesting air of charisma. Just Damon's type. He waved cheerfully at the new dragon and looked around after a long admiribg look to see who was all roaming the field still blues greens and the brown. To his amusement the green finally had tipped herself over.

Mustard Yellow NPC Egg
This egg gave a few shakes, before stopping to rest. Someone inside clearly wanted out... but maybe not quite yet.

Plummy Plum NPC Egg

Aukai Oceansoul

One of the eggs wobbled, shook, and rolled. Down the mound it went, until it came to rest closer to the Candidates. For a long moment, it did nothing. . . until the egg shattered unexpectedly, like an explosion. POP! A blue dragon SCREECHED loudly at Reenav, and any Candidates nearby that it happened to startle and cover with egg goo. Though he was clumsy on his feet, the little blue took off, stumbling through the crowd, pausing now and then to snap playfully at those who came too near. Laughter radiated through the little blue as it ran wild among the Candidates.

Eggshell White NPC Egg
This medium sized egg trembled and shook from where it lay, before it slowed and stopped.

Peacock Blue NPC Egg
This egg began to crack, ever so delicately. The cracks were faint, but present, but the being inside did not yet wish to reveal itself.

Greenest Green NPC Egg
This egg gave a might shudder, before suddenly one brown leg popped out of it. With another shudder, a second did the same. Unfortunately, that was about all this egg had time for -- because quite suddenly those eggs started going! Faster, and faster, this egg started shuffling itself right down its mound, and into the throng of Candidates. Where it was going, it didn't know -- but it was clear the dragonet inside just wanted to move! If it wasn't careful though, it would bowl over some of the Candidates, or worse, right smack into a wall! It was clear that it had no idea where it was going -- this egg was just born to run!

D'mar & Strigonth

It took most of Dolmar's—no, he was D'mar, now, wasn't he?—focus not to stumble on his way to the feeding area. He wasn't the worst mauled, and his wounds had been mostly seen to. Numbweed was a hell of a thing, but it couldn't quite penetrate all the way inside. Strigonth's support was much needed, but the pressure of the blue against him made bolts of tress lance along his cracked ribs. He would sleep very well tonight, he was sure. But first...

He could feel hunger, subtle but demanding, leeching from the blue. A delighted desire for bloody fresh meat. He very. very gently lowered himself to sit, biting back a grunt of discomfort. Strigonth coiled at his side, eyes scanning the weyrlingmaster, his siblings, all of it. Well. This would simply have to do. With supreme effort D'mar managed to drag a bucket of meat over, taking a knife to sliver the meat even finer than it already was. It was extra work, and it taxed him to do it, but he bore the effort unflinchingly. Too large chunks could cause thicktail, or indigestion. Portion control was also easier with many small items, not a few large ones. The eyes were larger than the stomach, after all, and perceived amount eaten...

I do know how much to eat, thank you. Strigonth gently, but firmly chided his rider. There was a note of tenderness to the reproach though—he could feel the pain and strain dragging his rider's body like claws. It was wise, in times like these, to lean on lessons he'd been taught. And D'mar remembered every one about being a weyrling.

Talela and Vimiath

The moment the elder’s feet touched the sand, the stored heat billowing up around her chilled body, Talela laughed. There was Vimiath, wide-eyed and waiting! The gold was over in a flash to stand in front of her, nosing and snuffling and burying her in affectionate thoughts. Talela laughed again as she stroked the rough, flaking hide of Vimiath’s cheek. “You look awful, love. Didn’t anyone offer to oil you while I was indisposed?”

You look awful too, dearest. And yes, of course they offered! But I refused. Why would I care to shine when you could not?

Talela’s bright eyes traveled up the dragon’s neck, surveying the damage. And what was this? A passenger? Tally smiled up at Akaris, recognizing her from the Touching. “I’m glad to see you haven’t given up on dragons,” she said.

Isilje

The girl was so terribly impressed, her eyes wide, watching the curve and movement of FOUR new eggs. GOODNESS! There hadn't been this many when she'd come for the Touching. It was so delightful, "Welcome to the world..." She murmured softly, eyes sparkling with delight as she watched them from behind white lashes. Ah! And Vimiath's was back on the stands! She felt a soar of delight in her chest, a smile breaking her lips, "OH!"

All of Reenav's hair was standing on end like a startled brownish cat. He had not expected the stealth attack of the joyful blue on his senses and was oh so grateful that he hadnt fainted in the process. All the eggs seemed to be stirring now and it was like being in the midde of a maelstrom.

Martirae

Not back there, huh? She'd been certain that anybody back there would be it if they were on the sands. Which meant they weren't. Hmm.

Seemed most of the eggs and baby dragons were demanding attention now, and while the bronze could bask in all of the attention of the boys, she had no place to dawdle on it. Instead, she looked instead a- "Woah!" Marty reeled as an egg on legs went sailing by, causing her to curse and once again end up on her back.

Shardit! She was better than this! She was better than all of this! This wasn't her best show and it was upsetting her.

Oerlen answered Kambri's grin with a snort that turned into an airy chuckle as the other young man spread his arms wide. After all that had happened, he still saw no problem with offering up his tender underbelly to a herd of mauly infants. But he had asked so nicely. Maybe just for a second...

Feeling a little foolish, Oer's arms started to lift, freezing a hair away from his sides as the Djinn sauntered out of his shell. The candidate smiled, wide and welcoming, like he'd spotted his favorite performer across a crowded hall. The first egg he'd touched had finally hatched. It seemed he knew quality when he felt it, at the very least.

The other dragonets were really shaking now, and Oerlen's arms fell quicker than they'd risen. "I like my insides where they are, but I tried, right? I'll hug them when they've Impressed, if their riders let me."

Lennik

Attention? Lennik would give every dragon the attention it so wanted except - except the sudden movement of Vimiath drew his attention away. "AUNT TALLY!" he nearly shouted and suddenly the wellbeing of the older woman was all that mattered to him.

That and the wellbeing of those around him, which on the note... "Egg on the run!" He warned, pulling both Ayla and Isilje back towards him to make sure the special delivery didn't run over either of them. Then he began to laugh. It was quite the change of show!

"Quite the little runnerbeast, hmm?" He asked, looking to Rio.

Kambri

His friend's laughter made him grin even wider in response and for a moment he thought the boy would open his arms up for a dragonet to come cuddle within. When his arms fell Kambri merely laughed like a fellow who had heard the funniest joke told in the whole world. "I suppose you did." He admitted, still chuckling with his arms outspread like a fool. "Ah, true." He agreed, but still not putting down his arms. "I shall wait to see if one comes close for a cuddle or gentle hug." He grinned.

What is the meaning of this word, "no"?
