Welcome to Gaia! ::

What? Another one of you?

The outlying egg seems more than a bit frazzled, having been touched by several candidates by now and liked few of them. After a few moments however it focuses on Cai, ponders, and sends a very firm feeling of agreement her way; yes! If somebody doesn't take these fools in hand it will all end in tears, they don't think that's their problem. Cai at least clearly knows how important it is to plan in detail rather than just having big airy dreams.

Still, best she carries on to visit all the other eggs, no sense wasting time! The egg's presence withdraws from Cai again with a final wave of approval, it would like to meet more like her and fewer with messy brains and no capacity to plan beyond the next scratching of their rear.

Yes, Cai agreed before removing their hands from the egg's shell. The details were important. They withdrew from the solitary egg with mixed emotions and worked their way back towards the center of the clutch, touching a handful of eggs in the process. Even with approval coming from multiple eggs Cai refused to get their hopes up. They kept a firm hand on optimism. Many dragons had approved or disapproved of them in the past. It meant nothing what a dragon thought at the Touching until it actually made Impression. This was more for the hatchlings after all than it was for them.

A few minutes later, Cai found themselves beside the No Such Thing as Santa Egg. They touched the shell and immediately grimaced against as rush of anger. Who was the dimglow trailing oily hands all over the eggs?! Cai resisted the desire to pull away too soon but the sensation was somewhat nauseating.

Aderyn listened attentively. Should she just work harder when she was in someone's shadow? Perhaps...it would be something to think about at least. The hidden resentment seemed to rub the egg's inhabitant the wrong way and gave her a mental shove much to Ade's discouragement. She scratched her head and surveyed everything else. Well, she wasn't having much luck with anything. With a slight sigh, she made her way to the outskirts to the To me, my dragons egg and lightly placed her hands upon it, uncertain if the trend would continue.

Things were going pretty OK. The other eggs seemed decent enough, and then all of a sudden -- WHAM! -- it felt as if a giant wave crashed into her. Instinctively, she brought her free hand up to shield her eyes from the blinding light that assaulted her. She wanted to stay, but she just...couldn't. Not when she was assaulted like that. Qyp retracted back and staggered on, almost tripping as she placed her hand on another egg - Hulk is the Strongest, this time.

She wanted to tell it that it wasn't its fault. Hulk wasn't the one that scared her. It was Fight as One that hit her like a truck. But she didn't say anything. Instead, she tiredly continued on to the last and final egg that she had to touch - Lightning Fast.

Have no fear Cai nothing is amiss here, this one is merely a little... different, and Cai cannot fault that can they?

The egg's presence winds gently around Cai's mind, seeking their deepest thoughts whilst giving away little in return save the feeling of a little smile. Eventually the smile seems to broaden and approval reaches the candidate in a pulse; yes, yes it likes one who knows how to take charge. Why shouldn't those best suited to power seize it? They could work well together, the two of them... perhaps. Perhaps.

The smooth presence withdraws itself slowly once more, leaving behind it only that little smile and a sense of strength that could be Cai's to stand beside in the future... perhaps.



Psh-pffsh-bah! Can an egg not get a moment- even a moment of peace? The isoslated egg crackles with annoyance as Aderyn's touches its shell; not annoyance directed at her, no its displeasure is aimed firmly at the whole process and just so many hands!

When it finally focuses on the girl herself it seems to frown a bit and then gives her a firm shake by the brain; good grief child, get on your feet and grow a spine! How will you ever accomplish anything shrinking around like them eh, eh? You won't is how! The egg does not seem to care that this technically makes no grammatical sense, it just gives her a mental poke; she could do incredible things if she would just pull herself together and stop worrying about being a little lady! Good shells and stars indeed, should she find her mate amongst its siblings this egg is going to have its work cut out with her.

Aderyn withdrew from the egg much as she had the last one. Did she really want to touch the rest of the eggs. The answer came unbidden, but true, yes. She would touch them all, and when they hatched, she would be excited and happy to see what little dragons came out with all the different personalities she had encountered so far. With renewed determination, she went towards the Fight As One Egg and was a little worried at the dent in the side. Hopefully the occupant was safe!

Okay, Fight As One doesn’t mean to be rude (well, they’re going to be anyway), but Aderyn? Your attitude STINKS. There’s an audible interrupt in the dragon’s theme song, replaced with a crackle like that of flames. After a moment, the music resumes with barely an interruption. Aderyn should care less about what others think about what she’s like… and more about what others think about what she does. Fights As One doesn’t want to hear from those who don’t at least STRIVE to try their hardest, and they further want to know why Aderyn is even standing and - go AWAY, Giant, they’ve got things to SAY. FINE. FINE, YOU CAN HAVE HER THEN. YOU CAN HAVE ALL OF THEM. FIGHT AS ONE IS DONE HERE, THEY'VE GOT THINGS TO DO AND IF ONE MORE WET BLANKET COMES OVER HERE THEY'LL - THEY'LL.. THEY'LL DO SOMETHING.
