 Welcome to the RP contest for the last egg of Nerissa and Nova! Mei and I were delighted to find that our Kirin were the only pair to yield 3 eggs in the latest Late July - August batch. We have adopted one egg each, and their last sibling is looking for an owner. Could it be you? ;o  This contest is free, but: You are required to keep up with all family RP your Kirin becomes involved in. This means Mei and I should not have to wait a long time for you to tag, if it's your turn to tag. This RP contest ends Sunday, Augst 23rd, 12pm Singapore time (don't know what time that is for you? Refer to the countdown here.

Prompts
Prompt 1: On the Beach
One day, when she decides you were old enough, your mother brings you to the seashore. She tells you that it was the sea itself who birthed her and your uncle together, many moons ago, on a deserted island not too far from here. After a moment's reverent contemplation of the scene before the two of you, she turns and heads down the beach, telling you to do as you will. How do you take to your surroundings?
Prompt 2: Hatching
You burst - or rather, spill clumsily - from your egg, taking your first breath of air. When your eyes open, what is the first thing you see, and how does that impact you as a newborn?
Prompt 3: Polygamy?
You finally get to hang out with your sire, only to find him flirting with a mare who is not your dam! What do you do - do you even still love him after this, are you alright with it, do you rat on him?

Prompt Used:2
Entry:Noeri was an egg..And as you all know.. when a egg is born it cant well errr talk..But when she hatches what she first saw changed her life forever this is her story
Noeri was a smallish blue egg..Common among Krin. Her egg begin to wobble.It started to violently shake. Then a mass of goop flew out. Then a blob flew out.Her parents were there when she hatched..But the first thing she saw was not them.The first thing she saw upon hatching was a much older krin the son of a leader..she instantly fell in love with him.It was love at first Hatch. As she grew she came to love him more and more even though he was older than her.She never talked to him but only watched in awe.One day though she got enough courage to talk to him.This is what happened..
I walked over to the son of the great krin. He was much older and taller than i was. Ever since i saw him the first time i fell in love.Its almost like magic.I approached him while he was eating."Hh-ello!" He looked up at me then he started eating again."Myy namee is Noeri.Whats yours?" He looked up again "My name does not concern you" He started to walk away from me. "Wait! I love you!" *How dumb could i be to say that?!?!* He looked back at me with a mixture of anger and amazement in his eyes."What did you say??" He took a step back tword me. "Um i said I lone to eat food." He looked back at me "Thats what i thought you said." He walked away and this time i let him go. I went back to my den thinking about what i could possibly do.. The next day i tried to talk to him again but he would only shoo me away. I had to do something.. "Hey!" He looked at me with disgust in his eyes. "You again??!" I had to muster my courage now or never."Yes the other day i said i love you.." I found words spilling from my mouth faster than i could stop them "Ever since i hatched i have loved you.This is because when i hatched i saw you before anyone else..I guess your just unlucky" He looked at me with horror "I know what your thinking im some crazy Krin but just tell me your name?"He looked back at me awestruck. "My name is..Hetuk.." With that one word we made an unbreakable bond i loved him with all my heart even if he was older than me.. Someday though i know we will have our own eggs and we will raise a family just as out parents and the ones before ... This is my story

GIMME PRETTY EGG
Name of Kirin: Undine (F) Shio (M)
Reason for Entering: The shiney, I want it!
Prompt Used: One
Entry:
Undine hopped along after her mother, pouncing on her shadow on occasion as if trying to catch it. She was feeling especially giddy today, for her mother had told her it was a special day.
The two had awoken early, long before the bright red sun had claimed it's spot in the sky, signaling the beginning of another sun circle. They had left, leaving Undine's sister, brother, and father behind. A day alone with her mother was unheard of... this was going to be a special day, indeed!
They walked for what had seemed to be forever to the filly. Finally, though, she took note of the ground beneath her feet changing. Slowly it began to feel more coarse and grainy... She turned to her mother, who patiently explained the new form of terra was called 'sand' and this 'sand' made up what was known as a 'beach'
Though her mother continued educating her foal, Undine was focused on something else... The sheer beauty of what lay before her was captivating, and she loved it instantly.
Once her mother had given her permission to explore, Undine eagerly ran ahead. While her mother spent the day re-connecting with the sea, Undine spent her day making her first connections. She splashed in the foam of the waves, nibbled on kelp, dug in the sand with her hooves and horn, and marveled at the activity of life in the small tide pools.
The day had passed all to quickly. Her mother returned to find her little filly had quite the collection of shells, sea stones, and other trinkets to take back with her. Though she hadn't wanted to leave, Undine obediently followed when told it was time to return. Sleepily, she walked behind her mother, feeling she was leaving a part of herself behind with the rolling waves.

GIMME PRETTY EGG
Name of Kirin: Alethione (F) Antares (M)
Reason for Entering:The shiny. I want it. X3;
Prompt Used: 3
Entry:
"Daaaaad! I saw that!" Alethione crowed triumphantly from her perch atop the rock behind where her father stood flirting with another mare. He flinched and turned around, slow as you please, to face the little foal. Ale had the most smug grin stretched across her face, and it was quite clear that she was going to tell mother-dear about this little incident. The mare by this time had gotten some sense and trotted away, but not before casting one parting dirty look at Nova. The stallion cast a disappointed glance over his shoulder at the fleeing paramour before turning his attention back to his dau--hey, where was the little blip anyway?
The chittering laughter and hoofbeats a ways off soon told him exactly where Alethione had went.
"Hey, hey! Mommy! Guess what I saw Daddy doing!" Alethione chirped, her face clearly displaying the sense of victory at her achievement. Nova didn't get there in time to hear what she said after that, but what came next response was loud enough for him to hear from any distance away.
"HE DID WHAT?"

GIMME PRETTY EGG
Name of Kirin: Atlanta (Short for something like Atlantis)
Reason for Entering: I wanted to get my first Kirin from Aerithe. So I'm seizing the oppertunity. Oh and.....The shiney, I want it!
Prompt Used: #2
Entry:
This.....space.....it's so hard to breathe.
I must get out. I must breathe to live!!!
She, Atlanta, pushes as hard as she can, breaking the egg piece by piece. To us, breaking an egg maybe an easy task. But for Atlanta, it gives her the first very strength she needs in order for her to live in this world.
I must. I must get out of here. I'm almost there!!! I'm almost-!
Atlanta broke out of her shell. She lays there as she breathes in her first big gulps of air, as she breathes in her new life.
As she lays there, she feels a soft breeze drying her up from the birth slime as the warm breath of the sun keeps her from getting a chill. She slowly opens her eyes inch by inch, slowly taking in the light.
When he eyes became clear she saw....sand? And rocks? But what was that sound?
She lifted her head slowly and turned towards... the crashing waves of the sea. Her eyes took in the very sight.
Blue-ish green waters as it crashes onto the sandy shore and to the rocks near by. The white sea foam trails behind the receding waves as the sea breeze sprays salty water into the air. He eyes took in every little detail by it, just like her mother.
And just like her mother, she saw...something glittering in the sand as the waves left it behind. It was so bright from far away, and curiousity got the best of her.
Getting up slowly, yet carefully. She got up, not risking to unknown object in the sand to react to anything she might do. Not only that, to keep herself safe from what the unknown has in store for her.
She got up and went slowly went over quietly, not making a sound. Just like her sly father.
As she got over to the object the clear the object came to be. She stood next to it, clearly not afraid of what it may do now. A beautiful coral seashell stood near her hooves. The object sparkled as the sun shone on it, the shell had a color that is pink like the setting sun.
Nothing to worry about, she thought.
But I sound caught her by surprise from behind her. She whirled around, wobbling as she did so but stood her ground.
A bunch of Kirin, her family stood there watching her, away from the shore.
Atlanta smiled and hobbled over to them.
This is my family, this is my home, this....is the beginning of my legacy.

My entry. xD Pardon the length...
GIMME PRETTY EGG
Name of Kirin: Oceana(F), Maverick(M)
Reason for Entering: The Shiny, I want it!
Prompt Used: 2
Entry:
He couldn’t really hear much at first, the distinct cracking of the egg shell still reverberated about his small skull. With ears laid back and coat still sticky, Maverick didn’t move from where he dropped from his enclosure. Pinning his eyes closed tightly, the smells of his new world hit him first. It was a salty smell, with the mix of water? Bizarre, could there be such a thing? Other things touched the young colt’s nose, the sweet scent of flowers that he had heard his mother talking about even before his hatching. Maverick took a few breaths inhaling the smells even more, letting them give him the courage to open his ears and listen.
Slowly and quite stiffly, his ears slipped away from his slick coat and twitched upright, already the sounds of the ocean filled them. Or what he thought was running water, splashing against something nearby. An ear twitching slightly, pitching off to one side, the twitter of a small bird caught its attention. That was something he didn’t hear before, it was always to roar of water and his mother’s sweet voice. Prompting himself to open his eyes, Maverick’s eyes popped open. Blurry at best before they started to clear. Everything looked strange to him, so large and so intimidating. Ears flattening themselves back again, he tried to curl up in a tight little ball as the shadows shifted as an autumn breeze ruffled the branches over head.
So intimidating, the branches as they rustled, bare limbs shaking, scratched across each other. Some almost reaching out like they wanted to snatch up the small blue spotted colt. Eyes shifting around, Maverick looked for something familiar, something that sounded familiar. The salty breeze was warm against his back, as he stumbled to try and stand, minding not to crush anything by accident. As he stood, a swarm of butterflies rose from the ground around him in an array if or colors, head spinning a bit he plopped back onto his rump. Eyes widening, he watched as the butterflies spiraling, twisting and turning until they settled down again around him. Wow, that was just it, wow. Trying again, but more carefully, Maverick finally managed to get to his hooves, though his knees knocked together under his own weight.
Why did everything seem so different? So heavy? Taking a step forwards, he nearly ran into a tree, who’s limbs scratched the ground when ever the winds blew. A sharp gasp escaped the young colt’s mouth as he caught himself in time, things out here seemed more dangerous then he had first thought. Taking a few seconds to gain his balance, Maverick headed towards the familiar sounds of the crashing water. Around him, the sounds of other creatures stirred his imagination, what could they have been? Would they eat him? Or could they be his friends? Oh it was so tempting to change course away from the crashing sound to follow the sounds of something else, but something within his head told him to keep going. There was something ahead that he just had to see.
The trees started to part, the air becoming more clear and the sounds of water louder. The hard packed ground was replaced with sand that made his already unsteady steps worse to the point the was on his nose and coughing. Pulling his head from the sand, he spat out the grainy stuff and sneezed it from his nostrils. Laying before him was the ocean, the salty breezes wafted around him, filling his being with their song. Above sea bound birds circled high and long on the thermals. Craning his neck, he looked out over the clear blue waters that stretched as far as his young eyes could see. But what laid out there? Could the horizon simply just drop into nothing? A yearning feeling started to build, he wanted to know, wanted to know what was really out there. Beyond his home and the horizon.

GIMME PRETTY EGG
Name of Kirin: If male:Kamil IF Female: Fatima
Reason for Entering: I would like to get my first Kirin and really want to be rpactive so if I get a kirin with a family I am sure to have people willing to rp with me....well and also the shiney I want it
Prompt Used: 1
Entry:
(Note: For the purpose of the rp I'm gonna use the male name)
Kamil walked down to the beach with his mother, all of his senses on alert and his hooves moving eagerly. He was so excited! This was going to be his first time at the beach! he had been told that this was something very special and that his mother was going to tell him about her birth or something like that, he really wasnt paying attention past the "I'm taking you to the ocean" part. As they arrived Kamil wanted to burst with excitement and run and jump inthe sand and water, it all looked so inviting, but before he could even start his mother stopped him.
"Son before you go have fun there is something you should know." Then his mother began her tale, she told of her birth from the sea, how his uncle and mother came from the waves and were born unto the island visible in the distance. kamil froze where he stood captivated by his mothers words and by the deep meaning that he knew they posessed. Being to young to completely wrap his mind around the idea of being born from the waves, afterall everyone was born from an egg....right? His mother finally finished her history and let him go and do as he pleased. But now he wasnt completely sure what he wanted to do.
He still had the urge to runand jump and play in the waves, but now thiis place had a different meaning, it had a kind of aura to it that he could not quite pinpoint. It was like that word or name that is on the tip of your tounge but you can never quite grasp. He knew this place was special, he knew that it had some special power to it but he couldn't quite understand it. This did frustrate him a bit, he was child and thus he knew EVERYTHING! So why couldn't he understand this water could not birth his kind...but his mother was born of water and his uncle but he had never seen it...THATS IT!!
He gave a happy snort and ran towards the waves, stopping just before he reached the water. He pranced and walked slowly towards the waves lowering his face to try and sniff the water. He would see this "Birth by water" and then he would understand, it was a simple solution. Kamil was secretly proud that he had been able to come up with a solution so easily. He could not find any partiular scent in the water besides salt and so he splashed in the shallow waves for a bit and kept roaming up and down the coast. He would find another birthed by water and then he would understand his mother perfectly! Afterall that was how life worked wasnt it? He would understand the beach and that strange and alluring meaning that seemed just out of his reach would come crashing into him and enlightenment would follow, oh he was so smart! He pranced happily as he played wondering how long this "Birth by water" would take and hoping that it would happen before he had to go home.

This contest closed late as I had to go out for Sunday lunch.
I have already done my half of the judging, but have not been able to contact my co-host, Mei Silja (Nova's owner). Sent my choices to Mei, if he does not respond by Wednesday I will simply have to announce the winner based on my judging alone.
Feedback will be available to those who ask for it. I will simply provide the "judges' comments" on your entry. I will not tell you your exact score, though I can assure you that I chose my favourites based on a standard point system, with a heavy penalty on those who did not show they had read my conditions.
Hopefully I can announce a winner soon! For the rest of you who do not get the egg, do not be disheartened - there are plenty of chances to get a Kirin in the ongoing Naturals event, and Nova x Nerissa may well produce more children in the future. mrgreen
