[ORP] A Springtime Surprise! [Hatching!]

[ChaosTheories]

Jagmund and Lishanth

Lishanth enjoyed meat and eating immensely. Every time Jagmund offered another piece, he made a contented thrum before taking it gently from his hand. Everything was amazing today; he had his, his brother had his too, and he was the most fantastic thing around. Yes, it was a good day to hatch.

Jagmund, meanwhile, was marveling at the feeling of being attached to another being. He'd been rocking the world by himself for a long time, and now he had a partner who suited him beyond his wildest dreams. It wasn't just Jagmund around to amaze the crowds, it was now Jagmund AND Lishanth. He could barely believe it. Of course, he'd always KNOWN his bronze would be out there, somewhere, but he was actually HERE now. Amazing!

Once they had finished their portion of the meat, Lishanth stretched. First his legs and tail, than his wings, which he angled just so to catch the light and make his hide shine. Jagmund smirked and moved so his shadow wouldn't get in the way of the dragon's display.

... Itchy, Lishanth thought suddenly. His hide, free from the egg, was exposed to the elements and drying out. That would not do. He bumped his head against Jagmund and looked pointedly over to where oil and cloths had been set out for the hatchlings.

"Oh yes, come on, let's make you shine even more brilliantly," Jagmund said, grinning at the bronze.

Riders
Vosin and Gold Killakeeth- W
Vosin watched the parade of young dragonlings as they hatched, and searched for their riders, eventually found them, and headed off to be fed. It was a good feeling, seeing new riders come to be. The woman leaned against her dragon’s leg.




Ly’bur and Brown Hinburath- HR
Hinburath gave his rider the running mental tally. A blue impressed and another dark blue hatched. Then a green hatched out. All the while, the gold made her rounds among the girls.

High Reaches Candidates
Makimton
There, another blue. A dark beautiful blue. He certainly looked like a strong fellow. Makim wondered what his older sister would think of him. Then a green emerged delicately from a white egg.

Nalacko
Nala jumped as the Indigo and Yellow egg rolled from its clutchmates into the candidates. Oh dear! You need to hatch first before you can pick, she thought with a smile. No sense rushing things. Unless….. could it impress before it hatched? She’d never heard of anything like that before.

Ah Farensil got a trill and a nuzzle from the queen! Lucky girl. Although a lot of people seemed to be getting attention from the gold. Nala smiled, enjoying how sweet the young creature was.

[ r'ose and sahrawith ]

Everything was supposed to be done seriously, probably, but R'ose wasn't going to have that drama. His dragon itched, he itched, and so he did what he figured would work for right now. With his candidate robes quickly discarded to the side, the topless teen went about oiling himself and his dragon. Sahrawith seemed to enjoy the fact that they'd be taking turns, and as soon as R'ose finished oiling a patch of her, she grabbed the brush and slapped him with it.

They would certainly need to work on her fine motor skills, both of them decided as she nailed him in the kneecap, but for now this was fun.

Sure the people around the pair were looking at them like they could be set on fire any moment, but this was their choice on how to start working on their bond. If Sahrawith enjoyed it and showed no distress, why should R'ose care? Besides, it wasn't as though he didn't properly oil her down, with every inch of her hide covered in the sweet and soothing mixture. The painful itching sensation was numbing down in R'ose's mind, and with it he could feel the early tendrils of sleep calling. Sahrawith was exhausted despite how chipper she was making herself appear, and for some reason he was feeling a bit bushed too.

Western Candidates
Rinis
She ahed softly as the Yellow and Teal revealed himself to be a handsome dark blue. Rinis kept an eye on him as he made his way among the crowd. She was surprised to get a boop and encouragement from the gold. Oh. “Thank you, good luck to you too!” She murmured after the queen.

Her eyes were drawn back to Yellow and Teal as he started to dig and hiss. What was he after?


Omurntas
Hmmmmm. He still reserved judgement. He flapped the tunic against his back to send some, hopefully, cooler air up his back.  

[Bronze Coffee]

Her eyes swirled white with fear as she watched her brother suddenly get swallowed by sand. Brother! She fought against the hold B'gian had on her and tried to rush out to him. Normally she'd be very slow in her movements, but even the pudgy green could move when someone of her family was in trouble.

B'gian followed after her, half scared out of hid mind for her, and the other half for the blue that got dragged.

"No, Molihuth, don't go! Stop!" She wasn't listening though. The pudgy green was practically pushing her way through candidates to get back to try to help.  

[Revel1984]

Farellen screamed: "NO!" his feet took him a couple of steps before realising he knew he couldn't do a thing to help the blue in it's fight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Becka screamed "OH NO!... nononononono please no!" she felt sick as the blue sank with it's prey ..... the only positive was that no dragons were keening... yet..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rokar couldn't scream, he could barely shout and what he did try to get out came out as a strangled screech. What was that SHAFFING Gold doing? why wasn't she running to her baby's side already... why hadn't she dealt with the snake before the blue hatchling even got into trouble.

Adar HRW

The thankful boop of the little Gold made Adar smile, crinkling her nose and briefly hiding her face behind her hands. A lot of eyes tended to follow Queens and it made her in turn feel a mite bashful at the prospect of extra scrutiny. Dropping her hands, she chuckled. Best of luck to you. I know you’ll find your gal. The gold continued her rounds and Adar’s attention was drawn to the activity on the sands. Blue impressed. A handsome dark blue carefully made his entrance, and a graceful little green. So much activity! How exciting! Wait...what was the Yellow and Teal Blue going for? Was - was it a tunnel snake?! Alarm rose in her at the thought, goosebumps appearing on her skin in spite of the heat. She gasped aloud when the blue disappeared beneath the sand with whatever it was wrestling with. Was it a snake?? Or maybe a difficult hidden sibling?  

[Mewsings of An Angel]

No!
Zyanzi found himself rushing forward across the sands toward where the blue had disappeared into the sands. Mother hen mode activiate! He fell to the sands, and began digging at the hole where the hatchling had disappeared. Dig quickly. Quickly! "No no no no! Little hatchling! Come back!" He was digging intot eh sands quicker and quicker, his heart beating fast. They couldn't lose the poor hatchling! He needed His! That hatchling needed to Impress! "Please please please!" A small sob left his lips. Rescue the poor thing! Hurry!

[ green oyath ]

From where she hovered overhead, circling, Oyath watched the newest development on the sands with extreme interest.

Nice plot twist, did not see that coming. 4/10 still wouldn't watch this hatching again, would not recommend.  

[faesinger]

Aryath watched the blue roll around with interest. You go, little man! Fight that fight! He was only a little alarmed with the blue plunged under the sand and turned to see if he needed to go help, ready and willing. L’iand also shifted his attention but was more calm as he was sure the Queen would interfere if there was need.  

[ChaosTheories]

Jagmund and Lishanth

Now those two had the idea! Jagmund was wondering if oiling his scars would make them for flexible, and he was hot under the robes, in more ways than one, so he did as the other Weyrling did and shed his robes and dumped them unceremoniously in the sand. Lishanth rumbled in amusement and grabbed them in his jaws, briefly shaking them like a canine with it's prey, then dropped them again.

Jagmund picked up a bucket of oil and a cloth, slopping some down his front by "accident". Oops. His chest glistened now, scars and muscles and all. Oh yeeeah.

Mine, hurry up! Don't have all the fun yourself, Lishanth said, posing. He had the best beach bod, but it needed to be enhanced. Jagmund obliged, and used the cloth to rub oil down Lishanth's back. He arched like a cat.

Oh yeah, that's the spot.

-houllow

For mention? xD

 

[demon_pachabel]

Juhvek

Well that was a reassuring resolution. And look, he even had his first meal on his own. You've got a hunting head start on your siblings - though it tastes awful. But you killed it so you have to eat it. No wasting.

Juhvek still disapproved of the Tunnelsnake as a toy, but it was what it was at this point. And it had turned out alright.
