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!

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!)

"You don't have to do this you know," Ameris told the hulking shape of her dragon as Mizeath shifted the eggs once more. She'd been particularly protective of this most recent clutch, the attacks on Ameris and the other dragonriders was beginning to wear on the gold. She'd even snapped at Ameris a time or two, something not outside the realm of her personality but still wholly unexpected.

I know but it is the right thing to do. I want something resembling normal for this clutch.

"Alright," Ameris nodded and winced slightly at the pull of the newest scar she possessed. She'd been attacked in the corridor between the kitchens and her weyr while getting food for her family. The attacker had been driven off by her own knife and the slashing talons of Vanilla and Mud but not before the attacker's knife had sunk into her shoulder. She carried the scar now and though the wound was healing it still pained her when she moved wrong.

You are alright? the gold asked her with a tone that was out of place within the cultured voice. Ameris smiled at the dragon, sliding a hand down her neck in an effort to soothe her before moving to the side. "If you're going to do this, you're going to have to move away from them you know," she chuckled again as Mizeath hovered protectively over her clutch. The crowning glory, the gold egg, was settled in the middle of the rest. The light sheen of gold stood out against the bland coloration of the rest and she could feel Mizeath's smug pride at it.

Call them in, the gold said as she shifted her bulk up and away from the next of eggs she'd laid. The dragon fought the urge to roar and shake the rafters, to wrap herself back around the eggs and threaten any who came but she knew this was needed. Morale was as important to Mizeath as anything else and the weyr needed the boost.

She kept her jaundiced vigil on the first group of candidates to wander into the sands as Ameris gave over the responsibility of rules to the candidatemasters. "It will be fine," the woman murmured to the dragon as she settled into the crook of the gold's arm, "Everything will be just fine."

Are you trying to convince me or yourself of that Ameris?

"A little bit of both."


There's no need to bow to Mizeath but please remain polite and respectful to her at all times.

Candidates are divided into groups of 15-20 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 begins at 10 am and these guys are the first group, meaning that no one else has Touched the eggs yet. There are 28 eggs to choose from including a gold egg. OOC: Feel free to Touch as many as you want but 2-3 seems to be the norm. Please indicate at the bottom of your post which egg your candidate is touching.

Candidates are expected to be polite and demure; egg safety is paramount and anyone found to be goofing around will be removed. Firelizards may join their candidates for this touching, however, they must stay under control at all times. If they become unruly, Mizeath and Ameris will demand their removal.

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 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.
