Revelio and Open Sesame! Double Clutch Hatching!

Halvor

He'd never thought of it like that before. Then again, this was literally a whole new world for him. Just as he'd settled his eyes on the bronze, the little one impressed. He was as happy as he could be for the bronze, he just wished he could have gotten to meet him. He shrugged. It bothered him a bit more than he was letting on. Halvor watched as more dragons impressed, and finally, the gold did too. There were only a couple eggs left. He wondered if there was one out there for him.

"How long have you been a candidate?" He asked her, his eyes raking over the sands and the remaining candidates.

Shar held the woman's gaze, unflinching and steady. The genuine apology that she gave helped her ruffled feathers just a bit and she conceded the argument was done with before it even started, glad at least that she had gotten a 'sorry'. Although Shar knew the names and faces of the higher ups, she understood that she was one of hundreds of Candidates and for now as just another face in the crowd.

The sudden urgent tone to Nim's voice made Shar pause, her eyes glancing out to the sands. She still couldn't see what was going on but clearly something had made her want to get Riz back out there. She turned and pulled the spare robes across the sand before pushing them towards the pair. She sure as wherry s**t wasn't going to sit around here if Rizdax was going back to the sands.

"Up and at 'em, Riz," she urged, pushing herself up with a grimace. Her leg hurt but not as badly as it once did thanks to the numbweed. She did get a few disapproving glares from the healers but she paid them no mind - the bleeding had stopped and her wounds were properly bandaged so they wouldn't get infected. She'd be there to support him back out to the sands, unsure if Nim could advance with them as she wasn't a Candidate. She held out her hand, a determined look on her face.

Tarnaria

When the second gold Impressed, Tarnaria smiled. Well, that just made her socialising with the male candidates all the easier, now she didn't have to worry about corraling in with JUST the girls. Greens and blues didn't care about one's born or identified gender, after all! She looked up at Halvor, noticing just a hint of sadness as the smaller bronze twin Impressed. She didn't address it, though. "Not too long, only about two Turns. I was attending a festival with my family in Tillek, showing off my bread dragons, when a Rider picked me up." She suddenly wondered if she still smelled like bread right now. As subtly as she could, she tugged on her robes to sniff.

Nashwa - NPC Candidate
Nashwa nodded quiet approval with each match that was made: greens, blues, bronzes, and finally the gold (there had never been a thought in her head that she might be anything like the little Queen would want, not a mere servant like her!). Good, good...all was well, and hopefully there would be no more antics for the remainder of the Hatching. There had been some poor choices made by her fellow candidates, but hopefully they had all learned their lessons. She couldn't say she had faith in that, but she could hope, for everyone's sakes, that all the misbehaving and innapropriate thoughts were behind them.

As Fianth and Krahsujunth each worked to help an egg hatch, she watched with interest and a touch of concern. The one in Fianth's grasp had had a rough time of it, to say the least. Would it be alright?

Vaali
Vaali was having a lovely time just then, watching the gold and blue parents helping their babies, and the sudden burst of Impressions. After the twin bronzes Impressed, the newborn gold came to her and Lusialu, her lovely little muzzle nosing at them one after the other. Vaali laughed softly out of pure joy in meeting a baby up close. She was beautiful, but not for either of them. She was for… Nyaranau!

We got our front row seat! she wanted to shriek to Lusialu, but her voice caught in her throat. All she could do was grin, bouncing on her toes with glee as she watched the bonding of her newest friend and the golden dragonet.

Siv

Zzz.... Zzz.... Siv began to drool a bit. Evidently, she was dreaming of Klah.

Evidently her poor judgement was in fine form. Still not snoring though!  

[Andranis]

Tarnaria

A sound caught Tarnaria's attention. She looked over, then stifled a giggle. "Halvor, look... Siv fell asleep... Should we go wake her up..?" It was polite, after all! If she'd fallen asleep on the sands, she'd want somebody to come keep her awake!

FISHER

It was a little sad to see the gold bypass Kinye (Fisher thought she would be cute on a gold, really) but didn't think much of it not even approaching her. Golds had a type she assumed and well. That was certainly okay - they knew who they wanted to love and she wished them well without so much as a bat of her eye. Everyone here deserved a dragon as far as she was concerned, except maybe the raging assholes that always existed on Pern.

Was Fisher one? Maybe????? Did people acknowledge they were? This was not the time to have a crisis of identity, not while on the sands, and she sighed as she watched more dragonets impress and what looked to be a semi-naked boy come back out from the healers to get to a bronze.

This was now a wild ride.

W’tarl and Green Altoth

Was that candidate……

With a deep sigh, W’tarl crossed his arms and nudged his lifemate mentally. Altoth lifted her head from the handsome brown she'd lounged across with a cheep. I need you to warn a candidate. he said tersely and the green rumbled uncomfortably.

It was easy to reach out to the girl slumbering on the hatching sands.

If your heart isn't in this enough to stay awake, there are others who would fight tooth awakens nail for your place on the sands, CandidateSiv. Wake up and take this seriously, or remove yourself and we will talk your future going forward.

It may have been the greens voice, but they were obviously the Candidatemaster’s words.

NovaCracker

A warning from W’tarl! Wakey wakey eggs and bacey!

Finnisa
For just a moment as the gold wandered towards her, Finnisa felt a flicker of raw, vindictive, jealous pleasure. Let her sister have a green, she could, would impress too. Of course, a beat later she realized what she was feeling, and horror crept in on its heels. How could she ever...The little gold's kindness was sweet. But she didn't deserve to be a candidate. At least, that was certainly how she felt.


Theo
He watched in awe as the twin bronzes impressed almost back to back—clearly they'd not wanted to be parted long!—and another blue, the green, and the gold. Wondrous, wondrous sights. That the green had chosen from the stands (and so had one or two others before!) was of interest to him...but he let those strands of thought slip past without pausing to grasp at them. He'd been to plenty of hatchings after all. If it happened to them, it could have happened to him. But it hadn't, and he'd spent his tears on that fact long ago. Now he would simply be happy for them all. And dream. Just a little dream never hurt, right?

HAVELI

The teen watched as the angry dragonet went over and bit someone, but that was hardly her problem. There was no real malice in that bite, was there? No, with all these Impressions and the sands emptying, there wasn't much of anything left.  

[magnadearel]

Candidate Nalacko she/her

She winced as a green went off and chomped on some girl…… who was….. sleeping? Now? Really? How did one even? She shook her head and turned her attention back to the remaining candidates. Had the two who had to have their eggs cracked for them come out yet? She peered at the adults to see if any babies had emerged. Nala couldn’t tell yet.  

[faesinger]

Aroontwa as so delighted with all the impressions happening. It was so wonderful wasn’t it? Sigh. He could just watch this all day. The joy of seeing the little dragons find theirs was second to nothing.

When the little green bit the candidate on the butt he gasped and raised his hands to his lips. Oh! That was so…odd. What had caused that? Without even knowing the reason, he glared at the candidate. How dare they not be delighted and engaged? How dare all these disrespectful actions happen! Those poor dragons must feel so terrible with all the rude behaviors that have been going on. It was beyond tolerable. It was…intolerable. The green was right to bite, just as all the other chastising was needed. …though not the death…but they all knew that was possible when the stepped onto the sands. Respect! The dragons deserved respect! Pout. How dare they not give it?
