[[Hello everyone!
Firstly, this thread is slightly future-dated, due to the fact that Honey Love will be in transit from October 10th US time to October 12th Australian time.
Secondly, this clutch will be Impressed entierly to NPC characters, but PCs are encouraged to take part in the event. Male candidates are free to stand (we advise against female chromatics standing due to the IC restrictions placed on them) and all gold candidates should take part, too! It is not, however, at all required of anyone.
We hope you enjoy the hatching! We may have some fun surprises in store...
The next Admin post will go up in about 12 hours depending on the day's events, regardless of who has or hasn't posted...]]
The day had started with a massive thunderstorm, and enough rain to cause puddles and pools all roung the Weyr proper, dripping off rooves and running in little rivers down between the rocky paths. It was both a startling releif and a shock to the system after the week or so of extremely hot weather, and Indivara could tell she wasn't the only one who was pleased with the change in weather. The girl had expressed her delight with the change in weather, most notibly with the rain, by dashing out of her room in the Weyrfolk Hall, still scantly clad in a pair of loose cotton pants and a shirt she had stolen off Ryvian, and stood in the down pour until she'd been dragged back inside by a laughing friend.
That had been as dawn was peeking over the edge of the Weyr proper, now, as lunchtime came to an end, the rain seemed intent on continuing to fall. Indivara didn't mind, for at least it wasn't muggy. She was still more than a little wet from the various times she had trotted across the Weyr grounds, with mud up to her knees (which, granted her miniscule height wasn't saying much) and a smear across her cheek. Her pants had earned her a filthy look from Kerrin, though to be fair, Indivara wasn't sure if it was because she was wearing something that was so raggy, or if it was because they were filthy. Her shirt was nicer, though, a deep blue that matched her eyes and was embroided with swirling vines along the edges; Jada had been practicing during the times she was sandbound with Krypth.
Stepping into the Hatching Circuit, Indivara was slightly surprised when her presence seemed to garner the attention of the resident golds. Krypth, guarding her eggs; Okalinath, growing fatter with those that she would lay in some few weeks time; Aradissicath, who was starting to look ridiculously fat (in Indivara's not so quietly stated opinion) and Nirinath, who seemed withdrawn and reserved at the best of times. All four golds (Indivara couldn't see if the two weyrlings were present or not, though she assumed they were) seemed to turn to look at her and Indivara froze, looking bemused, before realising the attention was upon the eggs.
Oh.
A frown controted Indivara's face and she had just enough time to slap her hands over her ears before the entire Circuit broke out in a resounding hum that, for a few moments, was more than even her hand-covered ears to bear to listen to. As the sound settled, Indivara lowered her hands, and fled across the sands, almost colliding with the four and a half month pregnant Jada as she reached the other side. "Hatching!" Indivara grinned, reaching for Queenie and obtaining the little gold firelizard in a light grip as Sucker flickered around her head excitedly, dark blue wings finally tangling in Indivara's hip-length sheet of dark hair, and sending him crashing into her shoulder.
"At least they chose a reasonable time, this time." A grin lit up Indivara's face, and she picked the blue firelizard up off the ground he'd ended up on, brushing wet hair back over her shoulder as she straightened.
[[Any candidates that want to take part;
- Bowing isn't something SP Canon practices, but one would be wise to avoid Aradissicath, she isn't a friendly cluther; Krypth and Okalinath, on the other hand, are very friendly and excitable. Okalinath might squish someone in excitement, if she can move fast enough
- Firelizards are allowed on the sands for Krypth and Okalinath (Dissi and Niri are unknown entities at this point) clutches, so long as they remain obedient and respectful. Those who question their firelizards training should send them away.
- The Hatching Circuit is literally a great big sandpit, which has a half-circular wall facing the outter part of Katila, with the inner parts facing the Gather Square open up; it has a large roof created mostly from the stolen sails of the ships that came North; it is in no way a traditional Hatching grounds, and all watchers are liable to get wet. The sands are hot, and heated by underground piping that flows from the kitchens and then fills the bathing rooms.
Edit; this is for Krypth's clutch, sired by bronze Gugaroth.]]
