STAGE 0

Where do you spend most your free time in the Weyr?:
Hanging out with the friend's I've made in the Candidate's Barracks.

Your bunk in the candidate barracks is, at a glance:
Colorful.

Quick answers because I don't have a whole ton of time on my hands. XD

0/3 Eggs Taken this week!

ImageImageImage

Waiting List
None

Mating Flight Results:

Monday's flight numbers were: 1, 8, 9

Bronze Swath flew Gold Goldyth; 2 eggs resulting. 1 to Dray.
Brown Rinareth flew Green Gold Goldierth; 2 eggs resulting. 1 to Dracleia.

To claim a Stage 0 Dragon Egg this week, any prior eggs you have must have already hatched. If you have no prior eggs, or all your eggs have hatched, fill out the following form and it's attached two questions:

Your Name:
Email (for contact purposes):
Egg Question 1:
You are asked to line up with the other children and young adults of Candidate age ( 11-28 ). While in line, you:
Wonder why, exactly, you have to do this.
Are glad to have gotten time off from chores.
Try to correct your posture and stare straight ahead, awaiting inspection.
Look around nervously and try to half-hide behind your friend.
Laugh and joke about what else is going on in the courtyard with the person next to you.

Egg Question 2:
A blue dragon is standing in the courtyard, his rider nowhere in sight. You hear a voice in your head say, "That one," and you:
Immediately turn around to figure out who was talking.
Figure your imagination has gotten the better of you yet again.
Wonder why you thought, "That one."
Wonder where the dragonrider has gone.
Crouch suspiciously against the wall, figuring someone has figured out you ate the last tart on the table this morning.

---

STAGE 0: Answer these if you have an egg already.

Your favorite treat, when you have to choose, is:
Something sweet, like bubbly pies.
Something tart, like at a Gather.
Something salty.
Something warm to drink, like klah.
Meat. Meat meat meat meat meat.

When you want to get out of something, be they chores or classes, you:
Attempt to delegate responsibility to another person.
Attempt to bribe and lure someone else into taking your place.
Switch places with another person, if you can.
Tell yourself to buck up and get the sharding thing over with.
Complain to someone else, but do what you're supposed to anyway.

STAGE 1: Answer this if your egg has hatched.

Your hatchling is happiest when:
Being bathed.
Being fed.
Being oiled.
Being paid attention to.
Asleep.

STAGE 2: Answer this if your hatchling has grown into a Weyrling!

After all those ground drills, now it's time for flight! Your dragon:
Is a natural at flying, if you ignore their take-off and landing.
Takes off beautifully, and manages to stay somewhat gracefully in the air.
Jars you terribly on landing, and apologizes for it.
Is quick and fleet once in the air, delighting in calling down at the others still on the ground.
Performs at about the average.

STAGE 3: Answer this if your dragon is an Adult!

To your dragon, their first mating flight was:
Abrupt.
Exhilarating.
Inconvenient.
All about the competition.
Unnecessary.
Because they wanted to reproduce.

---

So sorry to be late guys! I had a hellaciously busy last two days!

Dray: This egg is calling your name! Figuratively.

Dracleia: If you could sing the praises, this egg would be featuring in many of them.

By a narrow margin, you are still an egg! Not a doubt in my mind you'll be hatching on Monday!

Missed this earlier.

STAGE 1: Answer this if your egg has hatched. Blue Naith -

Your hatchling is happiest when:


Being paid attention to.
And that's easy, because there's absolutely nothing better in the whole world than Naith!


STAGE 3: Answer this if your dragon is an Adult! - Valroth

To your dragon, their first mating flight was:


All about the competition.
Valroth's first flight, even though he's a good sized bronze, would end in failure but he and I learned so much from it. How to power-climb and turn with the queen, how to keep browns from bothering him, and more importantly what kind of queen to chase. Too big or experienced and there's not much chance for a young dragon; but too young and proddy and there could be mid-air collisions and confusion. Maybe next time, Valroth.

Your Name: Dray
Email (for contact purposes): dracothrope@gmail.com

Egg Question 1:
You are asked to line up with the other children and young adults of Candidate age ( 11-28 ). While in line, you:
Look around nervously and try to half-hide behind your friend.

Egg Question 2:
A blue dragon is standing in the courtyard, his rider nowhere in sight.
Crouch suspiciously against the wall, figuring someone has figured out you ate the last tart on the table this morning.

STAGE 1: Fath
Your hatchling is happiest when:
Being paid attention to.

Fath adores being coddled. He's such a sucky-baby. XD

STAGE 2: Lumith
After all those ground drills, now it's time for flight! Your dragon:
Is quick and fleet once in the air, delighting in calling down at the others still on the ground.

Lumith is a green, and what do greens do best? She can be a smart-ass, doing circles around the bigger dragons... but she's good on the wing. I'm proud of her.

STAGE 3: Swath
To your dragon, their first mating flight was:
All about the competition.

How... different... to have all of Swath's anger and frustrations taken out in legitimate competition? I think he's learning very quickly what mating flights are all about. No wonder he caught a queen!


(And better late then never! <3 For posting. I'm really digging this game!)

XD You are so close with Swath, even. alskfkaf I begin to think I am somehow very devious and strange in what answer relates to what element most strongly, when things are that straightforward. XD

STAGE 0: Eggu~

Your favorite treat, when you have to choose, is:
Something warm to drink, like klah. I mean really, there is no better feeling than curling up with a warm cup of klah and a good book to read, when I can get my hands on both at the same time.

When you want to get out of something, be they chores or classes, you:
Tell yourself to buck up and get the sharding thing over with. There is no use avoiding the unavoidable. I have to do the chores eventually, and its not worth getting in trouble to skip.

STAGE 1: Harpyth

Your hatchling is happiest when:
Being fed. Harpy is a hungry little bugger, really. I swear, he if he could down a herdbeast on his own, he would eat the whole thing to himself. Probably burst, but I really think I would have to stop him.


STAGE 3: Trillianth

To your dragon, their first mating flight was:
Exhilarating. The trill of the chase. The wind rushing past outstretched wings and the final climb to the top before the dive back down to earth. It was truly a day to be remembered.

STAGE 0: Eggy

Your favorite treat, when you have to choose, is:
Somthing tart, like at a Gather. Oh how I do love Gather food.

When you want to get out of something, be they chores or classes, you:
Tell yourself to buck up and get the sharding thing over with. Sometimes it turns out to be fun, sometimes it doesn't.


STAGE 1: Glasth

Your hatchling is happiest when:
Being fed. Happiness is a piece wherry meat.

STAGE 0 - Egg
Your favorite treat, when you have to choose, is:
Something sweet, like bubbly pies. I am not much of a tart person. Nor do I like salty things. I would rather drink water or a fruit juice since I'm not overly fond of klah. I like meat in moderation but I do not have to eat it every day of the sevenday.

When you want to get out of something, be they chores or classes, you:
Tell yourself to buck up and get the sharding thing over with. After call, they were assigned to me so I have to sharding finish it no matter what I would rather do. I don't want the Candidate Master to have anything bad to say against me when it comes time to touching the hardening eggs in hatching sands.

STAGE 2 - Bronze Vhalyanth
After all those ground drills, now it's time for flight! Your dragon:
Is quick and fleet once in the air, delighting in calling down at the others still on the ground. I mean no wonder since it is the one lesson that Vhlayanth absolutely loves to do among all the weyrling lessons that we have been doing so far.

STAGE 3 - Brown Firenth
To your dragon, their first mating flight was:
Abrupt. He wasn't really prepared for it but the urge was there and so he had to answer the challenge. But, since it was his first time to participate, everything happened so fast that it was over before he knew it. Of course with the female dragon being a green, it was understandable that the flight would be over fast. But, at least, now he knows what to expect during mating flights and won't hesitate to join the next time around.

Hey guys!

I've had a bit of an unexpected and unannounced Hiatus, lasting through Thursday this week. Thus no Monday LJ update, and there won't be one Wednesday, but I'll get those updates out late this week, as well as get the information from the Nexus's last update soon.

I'm in LA with my dad dealing with his melanoma, and it looks like I'll be in the midst of this for at least the next two weeks, but I have a few days back home when this week ends, in which I'll be taking care of as much business as possible.

My apologies.

Mud:

No growth. All points have been awarded!

Birdie:

Your egg shivers, and as the rest begin to crack open, takes a tumble to the sands and lays still. For a moment, someone fears the worst, but then a small, wet snout pushes out from underneath and a young dragonet wriggles free of their captivity!

Emotions and sensations slam through your body, and you don't know how to handle them, until swirling eyes lock with yours and the world stops.

Image --> Image

What is this lovely young green named?

Harpyth and Trillian are both unchanged, though I expect that to differ shortly!

Shadow:

Egg points continue to build, and Glasth narrowly avoids growing!

Dracleia:

No growth today, but Rinareth is bursting in more than one place. I wouldn't be surprised if he's soon to be our first elemental dragon!

Xalia:

Norenth shines in the sunlight - he's managed to grow, and darken one shade!

Image --> Image

No growth for Wentworth today!

Yakima:

No growth for Ryath today, though she is steadily progressing!

Houka Ryuu:

The heat and the sound casade through your body, echoing off the far recesses of your mind and perhaps soul as the eggs sprawled across the sands begin their journeys into life. All, even your own, split tiny hairs, creak and crack, and finally, let go of the life inside of them.

An insatiable urge makes you a quiverring ball of raw sensations and emotions as you feel a warm, wet muzzle under your hand.

<i>Please,</i> you hear, almost like you'd spoke down the length of a tunnel, <i>I'm hungry.</i>

Image --> Image

What will you name this beautiful blue?

Vhalyanth has grown! He is one shade darker at full growth.

Image --> Image

No growth for Firenth, though he too moves quickly toward an elemental growth!

---

Notes:

Would you guys like a weekend update in addition to a return to schedule this coming week?

The irony is that the nearest elemental growths are in one I've not drawn yet, so I need to get cracking!

I'll let the idea sit a bit more, and then may update tomorrow/Sunday if the interest is there. =)

Oh, I was hoping for a green!

The LiveJournal Community is updated, a day late, but now complete with working internet!

Egg images conspicuously missing, as I'm thinking of changing how the eggs are given out on a weekly basis.

Ta! AND SOME OF YOU WILL GROW. I know it, since I see those ridiculous numbers! ;D

As always, you may reply to the questions HERE on the Nexus. Eggs will, however, only be given out on the LiveJournal Community for today's post.

Birdie: Navaith it is! And thanks. This last weekend turned chaos pretty quick![/url]

Stage 0 (Yay! *crosses fingers* Hopefully I get a hatching this week. :3)

Who do you avoid in the Weyr?:
The Headwoman.
The Headcook.
Your fellow Candidates.
The Weyrlingmaster.
No one. I pretty much tend to get along with everyone, and those I don't get along with, I still smile at and say 'Hi' to even if I get the most horrifying of death glares as a result. :D

You consider the best piece of advice to have been given to you as a candidate to date as being:
Watch out for those sexually charged situations.
You'll be working your tailbone off, which is just as well, if I've anything to say about it.
The anticipation is what will kill you. And I should know by now x3
Don't worry - you'll Impress.
Make sure you know what your fallback plan is.
