[G] [P] [EVENT] 735.06.30 | Virtuous Sins

It wasn’t long after Modesty was ushered away that several others put in extra effort to join their siblings in the early morning light. The first to break free from the next batch tumbled out of the shell and hit his head off of a nearby egg. Desire then sneezed as sand got up his nose before trotting off in the direction of a boy with ever-widening eyes. By the time the little blue reached his bonded, V’ler was convinced the boy would either pass out or somehow manage to pop free his eyes. He was glad for another rather mundane Impression, though.

Envy tumbled free just before Greed but the bronze was quicker on gathering his feet and running off to a group of boys that suited his needs. He sat in front of Oslanis and two other boys, pleased as punch for claiming them all. Envy had something to say on the matter, though, and went charging up to her bronze brother, prepared to fight over the boys that were suddenly caught up in the mess. Envy ended up raking her claws across Greed’s face which sent the bronze off kilter and careening into one of the boys he had been claiming as his own. V’ler drew a sharp intake of breath when he saw one of the boys bleeding from the leg and noticed the way R’vi inched closer to Indivara. What was with bronzes and injuring humans, whether they meant to or not?

Finally two out of the three boys grabbed at a dragonet each, having Impressed to them during the scuffle and finally found the courage and dedication to their lifemates to intervene. Envy and Greed both settled down after that, especially with the promise of food.

Egotistical debuted next with pizzazz as he tripped over a chunk of shell that gave just the right momentum to send him into three perfect somersaults. He stopped on his bum, the shock at what had just happened very clear in his now sand-covered face before Egotistical found his footing, stood tall, and marched towards his bonded with his head held high. Clearly, he meant to do that! V’ler couldn’t help the smile at the proud blue and his grand entrance.

Only a handful of minutes passed before another flurry of activity hit with three more eggs cracking and being destroyed by determined dragonets. Generosity won the race, followed closely by Friendliness, and then [bronze]Humility[/dbronze]. The three all stared at one another for several heartbeats, V’ler personally holding his breath that they wouldn’t start another brawl and was relieved when they all scrambled in opposite directions to find their bonded. Other than Generosity adding to the list of the clumsy and tripping over his feet just before reaching his boy, and Friendliness rolling onto his back for a belly rub from his lifemate, V’ler didn’t need to log any other causalities or notes of interest.

While the few boys near Friendliness all indulged in giving him the requested belly rubs, Humble had quietly freed himself of the egg confinements and scoped out the area. Friendliness was finally being led off for food when Humble found who he was looking for and took off at a run. His excitement at finding his bonded caused him not to reel in the speed in time and he ended up jumping, instead of simply standing on hind legs, and knocked his mate to the ground. Humble gave a soft squeak of surprise, finding himself laying half on top of the boy and ducked his head in embarrassment. A moment later and he gave the boy a lick to the cheek in greeting. V’ler chuckled as the Impression reminded him of his own Hatching with Charath knocking him down before E’si led her off and Veeth came over to him for Impression.

Another small lull came before an egg practically exploded as the dragonet within managed to cause enough of a fuss to get out without the struggle the others seemed to have with small pieces falling away bit by bit. Wrath proved he was a no fuss kind of dragon and knew what he wanted. Barely free of the mess of shell he left behind, Wrath walked right up to a boy that nodded seconds later and fell in beside the bronze as they left the Sands together. V’ler simply blinked at the pair and made a little side notation that they would be a handful.

Several more eggs were stirring, shaking more with bits of shell falling off but it was Chastity that was up next to shine. He looked around at the remaining eggs but decided his siblings would be okay on their own and daintily moved around the still intact eggs and the debris of the others. Once cleared of the mess, Chastity sat down and, much like a cat, started to groom himself, making sure that his face was at least clean. Satisfied that he was presentable, Chastity finally moved off to a group of boys and one ended up following him to the feeding buckets.

The ?? will be changed to a character's name once they post. Those players have been notified about the Impression. While Impressions will most likely be just to LPCs or Trophies, it's still fun to give a bit of mystery to the Hatchings.
