Revelio and Open Sesame! Double Clutch Hatching!

[demon_pachabel]

Niika - EGG BETTING TRACKING

Niika was drawn up into watching all of the newly hatched dragons roaming the sands - one on the bluefather's head, twins huddled up together, another white running out dashing here - dashing there, dashing everywhere. It stirred up longing, though that longing hadn't any time to settle. Had he not been involved with the Weyrlings, perhaps she would have grabbed a certain greenrider's ear and had them go anywhere else for the festivities.

Maybe she could get him away for an hour or two when all of this was over anyways.

Candidate Nalacko she/her

She didn’t know what game the blue was playing with his brown, but it looked fun. Nala noticed a little movement next to her and took a quick peek at Shar. “Are you holding in there ok? You can lean on me or I can help you to the healers if you need it.” She tried to give a reassuring smile. “I’ll be ok if you need to go see the healers.” At least, she hoped she’d be.

Shar

 

[SilverLutz]

Shar glanced at her companion with a slight expression of surprise. But after just a moment’s thought, she shifted her weight a bit to favor her injured leg, resting her hand on Nala’s shoulder to balance herself.

“The only way I’m going over there is if they force me,” she said with a pained yet confident smile. “And I know you’d be fine on your own, you’re tougher than you think you are. Thanks,” she added, not wanting to seem ungrateful.

“magnadearel”

 

[TheWishling]

It was like all of a sudden, You Can Fly! had another burst of energy. The little Blue went bounding through the candidates, out to boop one of the other dragonets on the sands with a bugle around his sandal prize, before running back around and making a flying leap. His body made full contact with Jeri, In her mind, the girl would hear bright, bubbling laughter as those large blue-green eyes began to whirl with the rainbow of Impression, Jerimine, your Auksarath had to play his games. Did you see how I flew! Not to mention how many people hit the sands because I tugged on them! And look at my prize for winning the game! He held up the sandal proudly, shaking it in her face. Sure, he might have hurt her on his landing, but Jeri would be okay~. Auksarath was sure of that.

Candidate Nalacko she/her

Nala braced her small frame in the sands to help support her new friend. It was the least she could do! Particularly since the woman continued to stand with her. She nodded with sympathy. No one wanted to risk missing their dragon. But she was starting to get worried that the wound hadn’t completely stopped bleeding. Maybe she should encourage her to go see the healers after all? But Shar had said she was going to stay.

If the woman decided she needed to see the healers then Nala promised she’d be the first one to help her over there. She flushed slightly at the compliment. “Maybe, but I like having friends around more.” The teen gave another smile, “You’re welcome. You’ll find your dragon Shar.” Her attention was grabbed by the rowdy blue as he zoomed through the sands and candidates once more to his new rider.

Haelwen & Hyseren
As time passed and more dragonets appeared from eggs that neither twin had noticed at the touching Haelwen couldn't help but wonder if this was typical. Just how many eggs were actually in these clutches? How many dragonets had hatched so far? Was anyone counting? She had a feeling that the upcoming Weyrling classes were going to be very packed and their instructor would be getting very little downtime while this group learned the ins and outs of being thread fighting teams.

A few hatchlings on the sands drew her eye in particular and she limped a bit closer, tugging her brother with her as her crutch to get a closer look. The little gold and the twin bronzes were quite intriguing weren't they?

For his part Hyseren was trying to remember why on Earth they had agreed to come to stand as candidates. His sister had taken moderate injury, he had minor ones himself, and neither had met their partner yet. What if there wasn't a dragon for them? Would they stay in the Weyr? Would they leave? He had never really meant to become a dragonrider anyway, he'd only wanted to come and make sure Haelwen stayed out of danger (and also maybe check out the Weyrfolk and see what they had to offer as bed partners). He was about to ask Haelwen what she had in mind when suddenly he was being pulled forward and she was telling him to -look- at the small bronze.

Doing as he was told, Hyseren took in the scene with a bit more focus and he realized the smaller bronze was intimidated by his larger brother. Poor thing. Maybe Hyseren could be the strength he needed to learn to stand up for himself? He had done that for his human brother many times over and it was successful. But wait, hadn't he just been thinking he didn't want to be a dragonrider? Shards! So many mixed emotions!  

[demon_pachabel]

Fahn

As the blue came bolting into their group, Fahn nearly leaped back just in time for him to down Jeri. But the scene that played out was impossible to not recognize. Joy vibrated through her veins and she absolutely burst with joy.

"AaaaaAAAAAAAaaaAA!!! Congratulations!!"  

[ShinosBee]

Finnisa
She'd had to step to the side and out of the way when the sandal-thief blue'd come charging past. Of course, the person he was looking for wasn't far off, and she ended up clapping, a faint smile in place, for the pair. It warmed her to see that so far the...antics...she'd been involved in hadn't done much to upset things. But still Fianth curled about the small egg. It hadn't hatched...what if it never hatched, now? What if...no, she shook off the line of thinking before it dragged her down too deep. She'd face that thought later. When there weren't other dragons around that she might scare between with more careless actions.  

[Kyrieko]

Vash and white Orath!

To say that she hadn't gotten a little overwhelmed by first being at a different weyr (what was this cold?!), and then the sheer amount of eggs and dragons all about, would be a sharding understatement. Vash had hung to the back the best she could, still working to process most of the shenanigans that were occurring. Sweet Faranth there were just so many hatchlings! It was wondrous and intimidating and, well, she probably looked the fool for how often her mouth would just hang open as she stared in awe. Even the clutch parents were interesting! She hadn't quite heard of a Gold that had a Blue mate, yet clutched with a Bronze, but here they were!

There were also many more metallic hatchlings then her previous times Standing. Of course, that could have just been due to the double clutch in general. But they were all so beautiful! Then there were all the adorable blues and greens. Plenty of times she caught herself smiling or laughing at some of their antics. Or gasping when teeth and claws were more prominent. But one hatchling after another began Impressing and finding their partners. It really was a magical experience to watch.

However, the most magical experience of them all was the one she was not expecting. Even being among the back of the candidates didn't stop one very determined hatchling. Vash had no warning before she was suddenly pounced upon and a startled squeak-shriek sound escaped before she heard the sound of bubbly laughter as she tipped over and her rump connected with the sand.

Got you! I win! A hundred points all to Orath!

You didn't even see me, did you? But I saw you! I'm the clear winner today, you know... because I Impressed to the very best of them all.

Vash sputtered out things that might have been words. But her eyes were locked on the most beautiful of all eyes she'd ever gazed out at. And before she could help it, she was laughing too.

"O-Orath?!" She exclaimed, hands gingerly moving to see if the small white dragonet was for real. "You... you startled me! Yes, you won."

Of course I did! I'm the best. But you're the best too. He crooned and nuzzled into his bonded. Hurry! I feel hungry and I bet I can eat WAY MORE than my siblings. Like, ten times more! Orath's little white tail lashed wildly at the thought.

Vash laughed again, stroking the smooth white hide. "Of course we can go find you something to eat, my dear. But maybe not quite that much food? You'll get too full!" Somehow, she managed to get to her feet, small white Orath in her arms. He was so little! But the most precious thing she would ever find.

The little white considered her words with intensity. That would not be good at all. He concluded. If I'm too full, I can't show everyone that I'm the winner!.

"Exactly. Now, let's get you some food first. Then we'll discuss this need for winning." She just got a snort in the face before a somewhat (not really) indignant flip of a tail was the only protest she received to carrying the white off the sands.  

[demon_pachabel]

Kinyegele

Kinye yelped with surprise - a small, delicate, noise that almost sounded like a hiccup - when the Aquamarine egg toppled over. Her eyes were almost perfectly round as she watched its going-on with fascination. Then that little squeak tugged at her sympathetic heart.

You can do it, little friend! You're halfway there!

Maybe a little more, maybe a little less. Kinye wasn't sure what the progression of 'hatched' really was when they all came out so differently.  

[Uta]

Kronoseth
The brown dragon tried to keep one eye on his other children, but his focus right now was sweet little Expecto Patronum. He considered his sons words when he was told to be some sort of fanciful being. A Prince. A Lord Holder. The dragon gave a little huff of breath and then... turned up his nose, and gave a dramatic little tail flick. Look at me, dragon. I am a perfect Holder, with perfect blood, who is better than everyone else. I am kind of a big deal. I have many leather bound books and my Hold smells of rich mahogany. The brown dragon hoped he was dong this right...

This was essentially how his rider acted sometimes, wasn't it? A little bit full of himself?

C'rian gave a snort and a mental shove. I heard that, you know.

Kronoseth was not abashed.

- - -
Neon & Teal Mystery Brown
The dragonet sat upon the sands, staring at the different Candidates. My, my, my... There were so many, he hardly knew where to begin! His clutchsiblings were essentially ignored, and he gave a flick of his tail as his eyes drifted over them. That one looked interesting and yet... Nope. No dragon would want them, snort. His eyes then drifted to another, thoughtfully contemplating. They seemed fun, clever, good-hearted...but...oh dear, all they seemed to want was a bronze. Well, that wouldn't work, now would it?

The brown gave a shake of his head, and instead stood. Slowly, he began to move through the Candidates, pausing to give each one has passed a very close look. That one belonged more in a brothel than the Hatching sands. That one likely had a blue or maybe a green in store for them. That one was certainly gold material, yes, if he did think so himself. That one...well, even he didn't know why that one was here, either.

- - -
Baby Mine Continue to wiggle. The being within its sell clearly was awake and most certainly wants out. And yet... Well. Maybe a few more wriggles and the egg might give way.

- - -
Red & White Bronze
The bronze dragon kept his wing protectively over the smaller twin...though whether there was an actual love between them remained to be seen. He bared his fangs at Remember Me Gold, but... another look at Fianth, and the bronze took a small step back. Still, he turned to stare down at his smaller brother, and glowered. This was all his fault. If he hadn't ran ahead like a fool...

Instead of baring his fangs at the gold, he instead glared down at the simpering, foolish, little bronze beneath his wing. While he made no further antagonistic action, it was clear his entire personality was domineering over his smaller clutchmate.

If they were to look at Candidates, than he would do so first. Nobody would want an ugly, tiny, stupid bronze like his eggmate. Nobody would accept him like he would.

- - -
Remember Me Gold
The dragon stared suspiciously at her clutchsiblings, slowly letting her wings fold back to her side. She didn't necessarily trust the intentions of the larger bronze, and gave a small snort. She was watching them...watching him in particular. If he tried to do anything...she wouldn't hesitate to get involved OR get their mother! This was a happy family day and already too many families had been torn apart; too many Candidates hurt; too many babies inconsiderate. This gold was not going to let the rest of the Hatching turn into bloodshed as it had earlier...

She hadn't been there to help them, to save them.... but now that she was hatched, she wouldn't let anyone step out of line.

The dragon stared hard at the older bronze.

....the bigger one seemed to bristle, even without looking at her.

The gold pressed....taking a single step forward.

The large bronze bared his fangs, but slowly, grudgingly, leaned down and gave the smaller clutchsib the most disgusted noseboop in the history of boops.

Remember Me seemed satisfied, and gave a happy chirp. There. Now that was all settled... perhaps they could get on with Impressing?
 

[demon_pachabel]

Fahn

Fahn was not enough of a liar to pretend she wasn't jealous, watching Jeri as she left with the lovely blue at her side. Slapping her cheeks with both of her palms, however, she quickly perked herself up. There was absolutely no need to get down when she was young and clearly, had so much more she could give than just being on the back of a dragon. She drew herself up with a satisfied smile to see how everybody else was doing.

It seemed the twins were making up (maybe?), and a brown was now scoping them all out. Fahn placed her hands on her hips to stare him down.

Bet you'll find them soon and they'll be the best, she thought boldly - but of course, was that not how they all felt?

-----

Kahbrohm

The sight of Remember Me bearing down on the larger twin to force something like affection between the pair made Kahbrohm frown. Certainly, he was sitting pretty and not ready to throw Dehka off of a weyrledge right then, but it was not because of their father stepping in. In fact, the bulkier of the two boys stared down his brother with a look of contemplation.

Of course, Orri was there too, but he wasn't part of the equation.

"She can force that all she wants, but the illusion won't change his feelings," he allowed himself to say out loud. Just like he and Dehka could sit here so close together and still have a pile of issues to go through.  

[Eos Galvus]

Siv

Motion caught Siv's eye and she shifted to watch You Can Fly! Impress, one brow raising in acknowledgement. Wait, did he have a SANDLE? Where had-- Oh, nevermind. Siv let the sand go, notes mentally stowed in her mind. Admittedly she... She was probably lost now. What was going on now what was left -- was that anotyher white what. Siv blinked, watching her surroundings. Still more eghgs though -- still standing, and she blinked. Maybe she ought to write in sand for now? Yes!

BRILLIANT.

The teen lowered herself to squat on her haunches, sticking a finger in the sand, and wincing. This was HOT, right -- and it burned, but there were NOTES. Besides, she wasn't the best at wise choices. Book smart, not common sense -- and she reached, making sure to try jotting a few things in a shorthand she used at home. Writing helped strengthen her memory after all and if the writing went undisturbed by man or dragon, she could look over the words quickly before leaving.

ut writing first, at least for now.

Now what were the babies doing?:
