It was time. With a kick of her back feet, the Blue Moon green broke her way out of her shell, shaking off the shards of shell and egg goop. She was completely disgusted to be covered in it. Ha! Take that! She'd done it, and she'd done it first! The little green posed for a moment on the Sands as if to say 'Aren't I amazing?' She certainly seemed to think so.

The No. 2 Pencil Egg gave a very sudden jerk from where it had been resting, as if the being inside only now realized that the show had begun.

Meanwhile, the Moo Cow Egg began wobbling back and forth--each time a little more aggressive than the one before.

Gold Anakumath

There were many kind thoughts being passed towards both herself and her chosen mate even as eggs still wiggled, doing their best to race towards being first to hatch. Thank you, she returned the sentiments with a wave of affection before her attention was entirely upon those eggs that cracked below.

Anakumath held back from going in to offer another nose at each of them, not wanting to stifle or coddle them when this was their moment. But she radiated her love as she watched on. How close they all were - would she be able to keep from nuzzling and booping once they were here?

She'd be tested soon enough once Blue Moon hatched - and how beautiful she was! Hello, my beautiful darling. she oozed pride, eyes whirling purple and blue as she beheld her first child in all of her perfection.

Not to be long outdone, however, the Lisa Frank Egg wiggled again... giving another ominous crack.

The Blue Moon green gave a squeal of rebuke, dismayed that so many siblings were trying to come out! Not yet, not yet! She just wanted attention for... for just a little longer!

Wait!

Dashing up to her mama, the Blue Moon green gave Anakumath a nuzzle, turning eyes that whirled with purple and blue upon the queen. Mama, I did it! I did it first! the baby said, and then wheeled to regard the Candidates with curious eyes.

Dehka - He/Him

Dehka blinked with surprise before smiling at both Razanel and Nuamia with welcome, having recognized them both. Before he could even begin to guess at which egg might hatch or what color--a beautiful little green broke free from the egg that Kahbrohm had been admiring. "Oh! She's beautiful, look at her!" He couldn't help but gush. What a darling!

Elibrie - she/her

"Some of them look like they're really working on it," Elibrie observed, responding to Juhvek's question somewhat indirectly. The one she'd let herself get so attached to - too attached to - hadn't so much as twitched, though Happy Ghost had done a little roll. And...oh! There it was, Blue Moon was the first to hatch, a little green who was obviously feeling herself? And why shouldn't she? She was beautiful, and precious, and the world was hers.

Nisadee - she/her

Lots of wiggling, shaking, and cracking...Nisadee watched the eggs carefully, but not so carefully that she didn't notice when company arrived. Not that company hadn't been there, really, since the Candidates, while they might split into smaller groups within the whole, were hardly each standing alone. There were always neighbors, as it were. Nisadee nodded to the young man from Western who decided to join this particular section of Candidates.

"I don't mind if no one else does," she answered, only to have her attention pulled back to the eggs by the emergence of a green. Now things were really getting started!

Relku - he/him

Hello there. When the girl standing next to him on the Sands decided to make conversation, Relku didn't mind at all. He glanced over with a half-grin before focusing his gaze back on the eggs...and the green now on the Sands! "It never does get old," he agreed, seeing no point in trying to play it 'cool' and deny it. "Got any favorites?"

Vannek

Had he known what was in Hunthyex's head, he might have countered with the fact that he was barely from High Reaches at all, having only recently been Searched, but Vannek was no psychic. Instead, he smiled faintly at the other candidate's expression, looking back at the Blue Moon green as she struck a pose and toddled off to greet her mother.

Yes, dear, you're the star of the sands! The records will show that you were the first to greet us.

"Will she be the first to Impress as well, I wonder."

Elzebuth

Elzebuth crooned deep in his chest as so many of the eggs began to wiggle and twitch--and there was the first, his beautiful daughter. He could only watch with obvious affection as she raced over to nuzzle her mother, gently lowering his head to give her a caress with his muzzle. You see them? They're all here to adore you. And were not his children deserving of all the adoration and love?

Elzebuth didn't think his hearts could be any more full.

Kinyegele - She/Her

Kinye squeezed Lusialu's hand back - and was more than happy to be nudged along towards Yunara as things were. The more, the merrier as far as she was concerned!

Of course, it felt like no sooner were they together than did that first egg hatched and - "Oh, she's beautiful!" Kinye sighed, her obvious wistful love for greens apparent. Of course, she'd have thought any baby dragon beautiful or handsome, but none of them drew that rarely existing desire like a green did. "What do you think, for you?" Kinye asked, looking to her friend, then towards Yunara whom she was less familiar.

Oh! She was a new candidate! "Are you nervous?"
----

Kahbrohm - He/Him

And there it - she! - was! And while she was 'only' a green, Kahbrohm's appreciation didn't fade. After all, he did have a fondness for those strong greens that could be attributed entirely to one of the aunts of this clutch. "Well isn't she a sight to see!" he grinned, elbowing Jihiro as though the man wasn't already looking.

If he seemed smugly proud that he was keeping his eyes on the one egg that had both good taste and was first to hatch....well, he wouldn't deny it.

Draza - She/Her

Draza peered at the other girls that her sister waved to before adding one of her own. "Yes, there's certainly enough luck and baby dragons for us all today, no?" Of course, that didn't mean anything once the baby dragons got to picking. Some favored girls over boys, some were dead set, some didn't care. It was a real mystery what made any baby want someone in particular.

"Looks like she chose for us, and isn't she a sight to see?" Especially after all of that wiggling they'd all been watching up until then! Not that Draza was going to complain about being made to wait for baby dragons that were already there!

"I'd dare say...hmm....maybe that one next?" she gestured to the Moo Cow egg.

Cetra - She/Her

Oh! A green was first to hatch!

Cetra was clearly delighted, even if it wasn't the auspicious 'bronze' that meant good luck or whatever it was. She was a beauty and Cetra was going to admire that.

----

Lihyo - She/Her

Lihyo leaned into that support from Mnereth with a touch of desperation - especially once the first egg hatched and their first hatched green was already on the move to greet her mother and then go on a meet-and-greet amongst the candidates.

She took a deep breath to steel her nerves. Good, open, kind thoughts. She could do that! It wasn't hard to at least feel admiration!

-----

Midrymear - He/Him

He knew that look and Midrymear smirked. "I'll be happy if any pick me," because really, wouldn't his desire for anything specific burn away when a dragon impressed to him? He'd heard stories of candidates turning away their lifemates, but...

he wasn't a fool like that.

Beelim - He/Him

Beelim nearly started out of his skin when Divisti spoke up, having been so intently focused on the swaying eggs and the imminent hatching of that first green. For a moment, he peered owlishly at her before he answered: "I dunno. They were kinda quiet with me so...."

He'd liked that speckled one well enough, though.

Niika - She/Her

Niika had barely taken a seat when the first egg hatched - and she felt that covetous desire pull at her heart as easily now as it had her entire life. The little green was beautiful and she was too far away to even earn a passing glance from any of these babies.

But she punched the thought down, using the promise of later times spent with someone dear to bolster her mood to happier, better thoughts. This would be a good hatching, even if mostly for what came later on a personal level.

----

Juhvek - He/Him

"And there's our first," Juhvek noted idly, admiring the fine build of the little green who was ready to make the world hers it looked like. "Maybe she'll come scope you two out." Juhvek wasn't even going to entertain any of these baby dragons coming to visit him just yet. Especially when there were two girls who would benefit so much more from it right there.

Candidate Nalacko - HR, she/her
Now and then, she could hear the cracks of the shells as they started to give way under the pressure of the dragonet within. She thought the Lisa Frank was the most active or maybe just the loudest, but there was certainly others.

Another small group seemed to gather up nearby. Nala gave Rahimar, Ciraine, and Nisadee a friendly nod. To her, it was nice to have others around. Close enough to be supporting, yet far enough not to encroach on anyone’s space.

Then just like that, the first dragon hit the sands! Nala gave a small gasp as Blue Moon Green made herself known. Congratulations! She smiled with the pose. More dragons wanted to be free. And Oh! Blue Moon Green was utterly precious as she greeted her mother.

Anakumath

As her daughter came to offer what would be the first touch of any of her children, Anakumath leaned down to eagerly accept it with a whuff of adoration. You did, my love. I watched you do it very first of all.

She'd be off to look at the candidates soon enough, but Anakumath treasured the touch of her child as long as it lingered. How lucky any of the children who waited and watched on hopefully now would be to be picked by her.

Posted: Sun Dec 27, 2020 5:57 pm

The Eggplant Egg, as if sensing that somebody else had hatched first, began to pitch and wobble wildly--the dragonet within was not happy about being upstaged, that much was certain. It wanted out, and it was going to do as much as possible to make sure it happened! A few stray bits of shell fell to the sand like confetti, but the hatchling still had a ways to go to actually be out.

In the process, however, Eggplant's thrashing sent it smacking into the Rainbow Egg--its sibling responded sharply, a sudden jolt rocking through its shell. Rainbow was definitely awake now, and it was paying plenty of attention to what was going on outside of the confines of its egg. One of its siblings had already hatched, and it would only be a matter of time before it was its turn.

Hmm...maybe now?

No, no, it still wasn't ready quite yet.

Red and White Toadstool considered the possibilities. In the meantime, in the unlikely event that anyone was watching (given the much more enthralling goings-on on the Sands), especially perceptive eyes might catch what could be faint movements now and then. Or was that a trick of the light?

Posted: Sun Dec 27, 2020 6:00 pm

There was an awful lot of moving and shaking going on and Funfetti Egg wanted in! It gave a strong wiggle, almost swaying wide enough to knock into Moo Cow next to it and almost entirely out of position.

Oops!

Kedah She/her - High Reaches

Kedah could not conceal her delight when the egg that had hatched revealed a little green. What a beauty! As the daughter of a greenrider, she couldn't help but be a little partial. "Yeah, I think it's going to be something else," she agreed in a hushed whisper. Ah, little darling! Wasn't she a cute little thing? She seemed pleased enough to be out there, and they were certainly happy to have her there.

tatterpixie

Yunara She/her - High Reaches

No sooner had Lusialu and Kinyegele settled beside her than a little green hatched from the dark blue egg. Yunara gasped, completely enthralled by the arrival of the first dragonet at the first Hatching she'd ever stood for! "Oh, what a pretty little thing!" Dimly registering that Kinye had addressed her, Yunara glanced over, trying to remember what she'd been asked. Ah, yes. "Sort of. Nervous and excited at once?" Did that describe her feelings well?
