Revelio and Open Sesame! Double Clutch Hatching!

[magnadearel]

Candidate Nalacko she/her

Nala held her breath as one of the browns came over toward their group. Only the second one of this hatching that she knew of, and this one wasn’t showing claws but rainbow eyes. At Zamistia! “Congrats,” she murmured softly for the new rider. Riz would be so pleased!

Akaris
With the clutchparents seemingly settled now, Akaris took a deep breath and straightened up, though she wasn't moving from A'ral's side for anything, not even for the handsome brown - and he was very handsome - asked for the candidates to draw closer so that he and his green companion could have a closer look. She appreciated how considerate he was of his sister, apparently intent on taking care of her until she found Hers, but...no. Maybe if she hadn't been so badly frightened so early in the Hatching, or if Rylyrr was still with her, she might have ventured out, but it felt far too dangerous, especially with the pair of dragonets chasing each other through the candidates.

Though it didn't look to be aggressive at all, at least not intentionally so, she would far rather stay out of their path if at all possible. Surely Imperio and Amortentia would understand that she had someone she didn't want to leave (though for her own comfort and wellbeing), and besides, she was quite sure she wasn't the candidate either of them or any of the others might be looking for.

So she would just stay right here.

Finnisa
Despite the surge of excitement from Firebolt, Finnisa still wasn't...quite into things any more. She watched the hatchlings appear and find theirs and bounce about. She was content to just wait patiently and quietly in case any came her way, now. They were all very pretty but...she just couldn't shake the guilt and shame for having been involved in the whole egg incident previously.


Meztli
They rose up on tiptoes to peer around at all the hatchlings. Some of the greens were pretty looking, and already they were imagining how to work some of the shades of colors into their cooking. Their eyes flicked to a certain egg...nope, still unhatched...and then looked back around at the scampering playmate hatchlings. How were there still so many...?


Zelaya
It was harder and harder to keep track of them all, really. They took the time to look at each, think a direct welcoming thought to each, and to find something about them they found appealing. A pulling sensation twanged at their attention and they found themselves looking towards Imperio once more. That green beside him really needed to impress already...but so did he. Still, they didn't seem unduly distressed. A moment later their attention roved back to one or another of the hatchlings and eggs.


Theo
Theo would have wept to the man that handed him a camera, had he known what one was. There was so much action, so much going on, so much to see! Thankfully the sadder part of the hatching seemed well passed now, and he had returned to fully engrossing himself in the wonder of so many budding, beautiful new lives. Any of those candidates down there would be lucky to have any of those hatchlings be their own!  

[TheWishling]

Gryffindor sighed in pleasure at her attention. Yes, he would take her to Hers....Because he wanted nothing more than to be the chivalrous Brown that he knew he could be. His brother was the furthest thing from his mind.


-----------------

Friend Like Me crooned at her sister, nuzzling up to her and trying to brush with her tail, Sister mine, let me show the Candidates your beauty, for truly it is wonderful. Let me help you get what you desire so~  

[Andranis]

Lady Grey

There had been several surprise babies hatching... Just how many lay hidden under the sand? Was that a normal occurrence? They just.. Popped out of the sand and hatched, like surprise flowers in winter. Lady Grey hummed, watching them with some fascination now. Hopefully, more hatchlings didn't go on wild rampages.

Tarnaria
Sitting on the sand, Tarnaria started to feel... Numb. Emotional numb, probably. The fear from the angry hatchlings and the shame from the reprimand were culminating with the throb of pain from her leg in the worst possible way, so she had no will to get back up. Somebody would probably have to come lift her off the sand after all the hatchlings had Impressed, because she wasn't about to chance it again. Even the elation of a passing hatchling hadn't helped much.  

[Shaddaling]

Rhylune

She turned surprise to the pair and moved towards them. Well, she certainly like them both if they would have her. And don't be sad, little green! Things would be alright. Imperio was such a good brother to her.


Jemaselle

Mmh? Well she could do that. She walked over, settling close but far enough to get back if needed to from the brown and the green. She wasn't sure if they were met for her, but she was here and would help as needed.


Whren
Joined Jemaselle, settling next to her and in view of the pair that had requested the candidates to approach closer. He was here... if they needed him but so much was going on at the moment.

Mystery Egg 8 gave another lazy wobble….before splitting open. A very finely featured blue rolled out, looking over the three competing greens….before yawning and making his way leisurely over towards the boys. The drama didn't interest him at all.  

[Teiha]

Grumioll
The white dragon was small, nearly as small as a house feline. Its eyes filled with color in such a way that it made Gru’s chest tighten a little. Not because it was threatening, no. It was… beautiful. He’d only seen a rainbow a few times in his life, and he could hardly take his eyes off of them. Living in a dimly-lit basement most of his life made him appreciate bright light and colors, even when others seemed not to notice at all. But Arlie noticed. In fact, she let go of his hand to scoop the tiny dragon into her own tiny arms. It happened so naturally that he had no concern for the girl’s safety. The dragon was hers, and would cause her no harm.

It was when the girl began to cry that he tensed, looking around for the cause of it. Was she hurt? He didn’t understand tears, yet… though very, very faint, there was a memory of a little boy, curled up in the darkness in a corner of a moving wagon. That boy had cried, too. There was blood on his clothes.

…He followed Arlie’s gaze to a blonde woman. Haveli. Had she done something to the girl?

Halvor

Now the dragonets were running about, walking through the candidates. He was really confused. Then, there was a blue walking through the herd of boys. He'd wait to go over to another candidate to figure out what was going on until the blue had moved on.

FISHER

The little girl at her side had been quiet(ish) and Fisher looked down to check on Kinye. "You doin' okay down there? Lots'a babies on the sands, but they're all lookin' rather peaceful on their end." Looks could seriously be deceiving and all since it seemed like a different battle of sorts was brewing. That one green with her group could be dangerous if it lead to bad feelings among those who were still lingering on the sands. "An' you see the one on the big blue's head? Kinda cute, yeah?"

Was she helping? Fisher hoped she was helping.

HAVELI

Where once before she would have wept and run to her sister over the sight of her tears, Haveli's didn't. Where she would have happily once struck down whomever looked at her sister poorly, this time there was no one for it except herself. Why was Arlie crying? Was it because of her, was it because of her Impression? Silly fool, crying when it was Haveli who wanted to weep. Even the weird words echoing in her head did nothing, nor did the look of the strange man that Arlie had brought with her.

They may have been standing on the same sands but for all purposes now they were worlds apart. Haveli had done her job and....

"Enough, Arlie." That was all she managed to say before moving one hand up and wiping at the tear on her face. "Go, get your dragonet fed and calmed before your tears send them between. You have things to do now." She didn't want to be dismissive but the more she thought about it the angrier she was becoming and the harder she knew Arlie would cry.

Siv

Holy Faranth the whiteImpressed fast! Did all whitres do that? And look, another blue! Well this was all really intriguing, and Siv settled, eying all the going ons amd people around amiably.

This was all NEAT!

Mystery Green
The green dragon was pleased. She didn't need to lift her head high or flaunt; she simply wished to walk upon the Sands with her handsome beaus, and look at the Candidates. She periodically stopped to gently nose at one or two of them, taking great pains to step over any bloodier patches of sand.

So many to choose from... However shall I decide? Might either of you find Yours among them, do be sure to Impress. She instructed helpfully. She wouldn't be offended in the least. Such handsome, strapping browns and bronzes deserved top choice.

Perfect Isn't Easy was all but forgotten.

Perfect Isn't Easy
The green at least had someone who was cooing over her. She would never confess but perhaps her timing had been off. Perhaps... she should have made an earlier entrance. All noted for next time. She knew she was a beauty, knew that she was green enough for more than one beauty. If she didn't like them well... She didn't need to like them. The world would come to adore her, soon as she had charmed Hers.

Reaching out, she tenderly nuzzled Friend In Me. So kind, so loving, so supportive. Such kindness wouldn't be forgotten, even as the boys continued to spurn her. Hmph. Well, she wouldn't forget that. Not a gentleman among them, huff.

But that was neither here nor there. What did she want? Who did she want? A boy? A girl? Someone in the Sands? Someone here? Everyone here looked a bit rough but maybe true beauty would shine among them....

Remember Me Egg
This one gave another shift, another shake. Scratch, scratch, scratch.

Bright Red Mystery Egg Twelve: This one also seemed to shift, wobble, and shake. This one was sitting closer to Rhianth's clutch, one of her eggs.

Black & White Zebra Striped Mystery Egg Thirteen: This small egg, sitting closer to Fianth's clutch, also began to shake.

Neon Teal & Yellow Mystery Egg Fourteen: This medium sized egg seemed to be testing. Hello? Was anyone still there? Wobble-wobble!

Ruunan [HR] - 16 - he/him/his - App Woodcrafter

There was so much going on. He was glad for the protection offered by Rykin and Meztli, even as he felt guilty for needing it. Embarrassed for not being strong enough to face this alone. Even though the danger seemed to have passed, the sands were still an objectively harrowing sight. The injured were recovering. The dead wouldn’t stand again. And he was just some whiny, petulant child too afraid to accept that he had accepted candidacy. It was confronting, really- in more ways than one.

With Rykin and Meztli there, he felt stronger and braver. At the suggestion that they might line up for inspection- as the Slytherin dragon had asked- Ruunan was about to acquiesce with a nod, but it seemed the bronze found his.

The rivalry for attention between greens struck him as odd- only because he thought Impressing was more important than being admired. What did his opinion matter, though? He only hoped his thoughts weren’t perceived as being aggressive or provocative.

As for candidates attempting to smash open an egg, Ruunan could only look on in horror. Wasn’t that exactly what they weren’t supposed to do? Hadn’t lessons told them not to touch an egg? The anger of the clutch parents was well-merited, and Ruunan didn’t hesitate to take a step backwards. Okay. This was fine. This was perfectly manageable.

“There are so many still wandering… I thought normally dragonets Impressed quite quickly?” The young man found himself asking, tilting his head at the small clusters of dragons who seemed to be searching for theirs.

YURASTAR

He was being called by such a sweet green and so he came, having gone when the bronze did the same thing before. No reason to give one beautiful lady less love, right? She was such a lovely green and her brother was such a kind brown to be with her.

"I'm on my way to see you. Let's see if a group of us can cheer you up." To have to compete against other greens, against your own siblings, was sort of a feeling
the teen understood. Granted his understanding was entirely different but at least he could empathize a little.

SOUI

Not as sure as the others she'd seen, Soui decided to follow her heart and move towards the green and the brown. She was unlikely to get hurt this time, even with the Crucio dragonet still there, and so she nervous bit her lip as she walked over.

Or...was it rude to be so nervous and approach? She did want to give the dragonet attention so she did her best to clear her mind with each step.
