The Incubation Facility [Open to select few](next group p29)

[MoonVixen]

Delta's eyes widened as she saw 'her' egg, It wasnt in anything scary like acid, just sand "Its... Beautiful..." It was the prettyest thing she had ever seen, perfect in her eyes.

"Please may I hold it?" Delta asked the man politley holding her hands clasped in excitement. She was going to be able to touch her dragon egg... actuall TOUCH and HOLD it! Delta was so happy, she could hardly believe than in the little egg was a baby dragon.

Peri smiled and nodded. He reached in and took the copper egg out, gently placing it in the girl's arms. "You can stay here and hold it for a few moments, then your parent can put the egg back in." He didn't want to just sit and wait for that long. The other kids would get restless and start causing trouble.

The man waved the group to follow along, heading towards an incubator that held an egg encompassed by flame. "This is Caden's egg. It's a red dragon and has to be kept in the flame to keep it hot." No touching of this egg, unfortunately.  

[CatCry]

As he squinted through the flames at the glowing black shape, Cadentau felt an unexpected surge of pride. That was his egg in there. His egg, his dragon, and nobody else's, even if he might have to take care of it. That bat girl, Earako, said she had a red dragon too, right? Maybe they could meet again someday. The lionboy actually smiled at the thought. A red dragon fighting at his side. What could be grander than that?

While Caden was the sort that dealt with problems when they came, Wolfie liked to be prepared. Making sure her son was preoccupied with the egg, she stalked over to the instructor and asked quietly, "Just a few questions. How big and how destructive will it get? What does it eat? Are there any special enviromental requirements? and What can you tell me about Red Dragon social structure?" She pulled out a notepad and a writing utensil, ready to jot down the answers. Proper development depended on optimal care and she was planning to research this just as thouroughly as she had researched lions.  

[Perilas_Coleman]

Peri smiled at the woman. Ah, she had questions for him. He liked to see the parents that had already accepted that their child would be taking home a dragon and wanted to know about it. There were those that were still sore about the whole dragon coming home with them business. Those weren't as fun.

"Red dragons are among the largest, reaching up to 22 ft in height. They're about as destructive as the rest, though not as much as the black. It eats meat and likes slightly warmer temperatures." The first questions were easy, but Peri had to pause and think on that last one. Social structure, eh? "Well, red dragons pretty much avoid each other and other dragons. They're too protective of their hoard."

With that, he waved the group on to the last incubator. "And this would be Jett's green dragon egg." He pointed to where the egg was hidden under some leaves. "This is another egg that can be held, if you'd like to."  

[Kanth]

Altessa, having gotten enough time with her egg, glanced up as Raine approached, pointing it out. "S'mine." She murmured softly, knowing no one could hear them. It was rare for Altessa to speak to anyone that way.

"What are you going to name it?" Raine asked, giving her a smile as she reached down to ruffle her hair affectionately.

"Dunno yet." Altessa gave a shrug and turned away, glancing at the others and their eggs, almost as if she was sizing them up. Once she got her dragon... no one would be able to give her any trouble anymore. She could go where she pleased, really. Shoving her hands in her pockets, she remained where she was standing, Raine close by.

It was nice to have someone that cared about what you were doing. Rather unlike Tiil.  

[CatCry]

Wolfie took a deep breath and a grim determined expression settled on her face. Huge, agressive, territorial, completely carnivores. Yup, they were definately moving soon. Maybe out near the mountains with the rest of the family. There would be wide open spaces, lots of edible wildelife, while it was young, the dragon could even go out hunting with the birds..well, there was also the possiblity that it would eat the birds..which was never good, considering how falconry had been her family's proffession for at least the last six generations. But nooo~ Violet had to be the one with the flower name and the PhD. No..she was going to have to move them somewhere else.

Caden was still staring at the Red Dragon egg as if bewitched, although the rest of the group had already moved on. Well, at least that was one obstacle cleared.  

[Eriana Rhode]

Jett simply followed along silently, one hand holding onto Raven's absently. Eggs. Creatures inside the eggs that could do different things. That meant something. What, he couldn't really say, but it was important. Everything would be all right when it worked itself out in his head. When he understood it all.

When his egg's turn came, he blinked at it, considering it for a long moment before going over and staring at it. "...may I... hold it then?" he looked up at Peri.

Green. Green was good, right? Green was... earthy. Earth was stable. Um. At least, Raven hoped she was right on that. "Pardon," she murmured to Peri quietly. "Could you... um... well, how large is it going to be? What can it do? How often is it going to be destroying things? Is there anything in particular we should do to prepare for it?"
 

[Perilas_Coleman]

Peri nodded and opened the incubator, taking the egg out to put in the boy's arms. "There you go."

He turned to the mother of the black widow boy. "Well, green's are some of the smallest dragons, only reaching 10 feet in height. Like the other dragons, it'll have a breath weapon and teeth and claws. It'll learn to fly. Greens are some of the more evil dragons and like to fight. They also like forests with trees."  

[Eriana Rhode]

Raven did her best not to grimace at the 'evil' part. Truth be told, she'd been worried about that. "Ah... thanks." At least there was a forest nearby the Nest...

Cradling the egg in his arms, Jett smiled, caressing the tiny object. His. Only his. His pretty little egg.

Next group:

Damaris
Canti
Taren
Tyven

Well... unless some other kids grow and need in here soon, I'll post whenever this is replied to.

I shall be posting sometime (probably afternoon-ish) on Wednesday, Dec 13th.

 

[Indubitably]

Tyven had been waiting for this. Once Jem had torn open the letter saying that she was to go look at her dragon egg, the straight-faced child had demanded that they leave exactly on time. Cleo had gotten one in her favorite color, after all. Tyven sincerely hoped for D-corp that hers would match.

Jem was humming, iPod buds in her ears as she followed her child into the large area. It seemed like there were several incubator type areas set up. Jem took it all in stride, as did Tyven did, Cleo and Rapier had both talked about this place.  

[Sinders Path]

Two clawed hands clutched at her sleeve and the boy tried to walk at least partially behind his adoptive parent, shielding him from view.

He didn't like this place, didn't trust the people in white coats that had been increasing in number since he got here and he certainty didn't like the fact that this was somewhere entirely new where it was very and unreasonably lit in his option, exposing him to any eyes that cared to look.

He'd much rather be somewhere warm and dark, he tugged at his mother's hand. "Mum, mum, I wanna go home. I changed my mind I don't want a Dragon." he whispered urgently blinking up at her through his glasses.

Silen chuckled. She was quite used to the boy's panics now and most often brushed them off with a laugh, it helped sometimes, laughing his fears away and showing they were insignificant. "It's okay, I'll be here the whole time promise and you might even met some children you know. Besides you were the one that wanted to know about dragons when you saw the other children's weren’t you? Don’t you want your own partner? someone to help you build things?"

Taren paused considering them for a moment before nodding, it was true what she said the scaled creatures did fascinate him although he wanted o know if he could get one without sharp teeth that would be good, nevertheless he continued to follow cling to his mother as then entered the incubation lab.  

[naeodin]

Narayan was a little bit cautious. A little bit, because who knew what sort of ugly, unfriendly person you would meet? A little bit, because at the same time Narayan was a very optimistic little elephant and wanted to believe that right around the corner was the model from page 124 from the Sports Illustrated magazine.

Maybe. Hopefully. Narayan could wait.

Falling in step with his father, his face was almost impassive-- except for his nose. Twitching as if it was doing all the nervous gestures the rest of his body needed, it rarely stopped fidgeting. As if maybe without enough movement, it could generate a mind of it's own.

"Do I get anything out of this?" Narayan asked JD, looking up. Well, he got to meet the egg, whatever it was. But he wanted something more... shiny. More real.

"We'll talk about it after you behave, Rayan. No stupid stuff."

Narayan smirked. Sure. Whateveeer he said.

((because last time I hiatused in the middle, and there aren't many people in this times?))
