Latest Updates

2023/08/04 Hello loves! While I haven't been writing, I have been working on updating some issues that have been hanging around on the layout! The Character change box is now at the bottom of the page, beside the up/down arrows! Green and Gold dragon flight dates have been shifted to the bottom of the page, where the (useless!) discord widget was located. Where the dragon flights were in the header, is now replaced by a Monthly Event box! This will be updated at the start of each month, with a fun mini-event you can take part in, if you want to! Thistle!

Monthly Event

Welcome to the Month of Lovetm! This month's Monthly Event is all about Romance, whether it is asking someone out on a date, or getting sweaty between the sheets! Anything and everything counts, if it even looks sideways like it could be related to Valentine Day -- including lover's spats, or breaking up, Flights Wins (or Flight Losses!). Honestly, this month has a huge opportunity for interpertation, so go wild!

Ahh, the fresh snow, the crisp air, the naked trees... welcome to Winter! Or, just the Colder Months for those in the more Northern Weyrs, while Ista is just... not as hot. But it is time to enjoy the end of the Turn, so folks should get together, spend some time gossiping, and drinking Hot Chocolate (alcohol and marshmallows opional)... does Pern even have marshmallows????? (they do now!)

Narinoa followed his potential weyrlingmaster with the rest of his group. They had been split up after breakfast into three groups and he was in the first one, meandering his way with some jokes and comments as they went. He knew as soon as they crossed the threshold into the Hatching Grounds that it would be all serious business and respect--as it should be--but it was early, they had full bellies, and a little excitement and fear mingling together left a lot of them chatty and Narinoa was always willing to flirt or discuss what might happen.

One thing that was new to him was seeing two clutches on the Sands at the same time. They were stopped at the door and reminded again that Malvayth had just clutched and to be mindful of her space and mood. Goldrider Cazan would be sitting with her and Weyrwoman Rhaedalyn and of course Aradissicath were there as well to help keep tensions as low as possible. From what Narinoa knew of the younger gold, he didn't think there would be any problems and as they entered, he saw her watching them and he got the impression that Malvayth was excited and he couldn't help but smile and wave at her as they passed by.

Rhaedalyn greeted them with a warm smile as Aradissicath sat regally behind her. There was something that was always so impressive about the gold dragons and Narinoa never tired of seeing them, especially when they were in their element like on the Sands or perhaps one day assisting in guiding them through their tasks in a Threadfall. The Weyrwoman reminded them to keep their firelizards away--something he had already done, sending Pipsqueak to pester L'gan for the morning--and then gave them permission to wander around the collection of eggs. Narinoa knew from experience that with such a large clutch he wouldn't get through all of them. He never tried, though. He liked to follow his instincts and touch only a handful and then reflect upon any connection made. The dragons never seemed to remember any of them after they hatched but it was still nice to think that perhaps this ritual did help inspire a bond and that the dragon he was meant for would be one of the ones he Touched and he would be remembered.

As the group scattered to head towards their first egg, Narinoa hung back for a moment and then weaved his way through to find a smaller egg that had been initially overlooked, setting his palm on the warm surface.




Reminder: this is an NPC Hatching and no gold. The only female Candidates in play for this one are those who have already completed their healing training.

You don't need to bow to Aradissicath. That's just not something we have in this game. If your character is overly polite, sure. Bow or thank her, though don't get too close.

Candidates are divided into ten groups of thirty who each visit the eggs for an hour, with a 15 minute gap between sessions. For the purpose of RP, all PC Candidates are in the same group, which is obviously this thread.

This Touching commences at 9am and these guys are the first group, meaning that no one else has Touched the eggs yet. Because there are 44 eggs, it’s not likely a Candidate will touch every egg. A minimum of one is required. OOC: Feel free to Touch as many as you want but 2-3 seems to be the norm for playing out responses. (but not the rule! Go for more or less if you desire. You can say they Touched ten.)

Candidates are expected to be polite and demure; the egg safety is paramount and anyone found to be goofing around will be removed. Firelizards are not allowed on the Sands during the Touching. Aradissicath doesn’t mind them in general but her eggs are important and she will not have distractions during the time.

Eggs are approximately 4 to 5 feet in length, and approximately half to two-thirds that in width. They’re rather squat and roundish. Eggs are laid in a leathery state, much like an earthen snake egg. They slowly expand as they harden with the youngster growing within. When a candidate Touches an egg, they will find the shell to be hard, but kind of lumpy and bumpy in some spots, and smooth in others, depending on how the dragonet shifted during the hardening phase. All the eggs are roughly the same mottled greenish-tan, except for the gold egg, which has a bit of the metallic gold color in the shell, in addition to being larger than all the others.

Additionally, when the candidate’s hand connects with the shell, the dragonet within will reach out mentally and touch their mind. The response the dragonet has to each individual candidate is extremely varied and often considered private by the individuals. A negative response from a dragonet does not denote the inability to Impress the hatchling within! There have been several cases in the past – PC and NPC – when characters Impressed to a hatchling from an egg that they thought hated them.

If you want a reply from the egg, put an ooc note with a number 1-44 and I'll get one up. You can also ask for a mood instead and write your own reply if you prefer.
