** Log of Aurith's Hatching, Ista Weyr


Zaveth> F'zik coughs.

Zaveth> Panth hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmssssss.. for 
        effect

Zaveth> T'rod grins.

Zaveth> Entwined on Teyal's right shoulder, Akadi Hummmmssssss prettily

Shalynra doesn't want anyone @tel-ing home if they disconnect accidentally. )

Zaveth> F'zik sights in on D'vin and holds a small pebble over his head far 
        below.

Jazmyn looks out at the sands with a horrified look and bites her lower lip.

Shalynra hugs Jazmyn and whispers encouragingly.

Zaveth> Miritha watches the eggs, seeming to ignore the humming dragons
        around her...but then, no one's really at an angle to see her smiling 
        down at the ring on her finger.

Keara suggests group-meditation?

Telefian takes a deep, nervous breath.

Teshla seems calm, except when you look in her eyes.

Zaveth> Chiloth hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmsssssssss in a nice deep treble. His 
        rider doesn't really see the pebble...but....

Zaveth> J'nel leans up against her humming dragon with a faraway look in her 
        eyes.

Shalynra bounces, smiling at the Candidates.

Cryslin closes her eyes and takes three shaky breaths.

Kysti chews on her knuckle nervously

Zaveth> Teyal chuckles at the sign D'vin holds up far below.. "barrack 
        cleaning??"

Zaveth> From Hatching Sands, Sheanna warns, OOC, everyone watching that
        they may wish /more on. If this works without breaking (wish luck), 
        you're going ot need it. If it doesn't.. I'm crying you can do what 
        you want )

Zaveth> T'rod lightly touches Beltanth's vibrating side....

Kysti has disconnected.

Zaveth> R'till has connected.

Zaveth> F'zik watches the big bronze vibrator. Woo woo.

Zaveth> Nahath decides not to enterthe 'how many m's can one type' OOC
        contest.

Keara is confused...

Sh'drina wakes up and looks around in a daze.

Zaveth> Beltanth considers thwapping F'zik with his tail. Woo woo.

Zaveth> T'garrick cocks an eyebrow at Teyal.

Zaveth> F'zik would fall off the ledge. It's an idea...

Jazmyn glances at Shalynra and tries to smile.

Zaveth> Nahath wuffles softly through his hum and nudges C'trine.

Zaveth> R'till looks over at F'zik, grinning.

Zaveth> T'garrick says "Not a good one though."

Zaveth> Aellya unbuckles Zaveth's riding straps from herself.

Zaveth> Farlioth warbles approvingly at Nahath before returning to his 
      grammatically, or at least correctly spelled, humming.

Zaveth> (dests) I sense that Kiath chuckles and needs Ista, too... P

Zaveth> Teyal says "Watch it T'gar.. that thing might be loaded ;)"

Zaveth> Miritha twists around to peer at F'zik from her seat on the ledge's
        edge.

Zaveth> F'ryx notes repeat() to nahath.

Zaveth> F'zik says "Living on the edge too, eh, Miritha?"

Zaveth> T'garrick grins at Teyal.

Zaveth> (dests) Zaveth bespoke << Ista Weyr up. >>

Zaveth> Miritha says "Better view from here, F'zik."

Zaveth> Moth backwings and lands nearby.

Zaveth> F'hlan leans back against Tzornth's foreleg, eyeing the Clutch below.

Zaveth> F'zik peers down at the vast space beneath him. "Most true."

Keara allows her nervous-energy to flow into excited-energy...and bounces 
        along with Shalynra.

Kysti has connected.

Zaveth> Kiath backwings and lands nearby.

Zaveth> F'ryx waves to L'thar.

Shalynra grins at Keara. "There you go! See how nice and relaxed you are now?"

Zaveth> Kolith backwings and lands nearby.

Zaveth> Ameveth bespoke Ista Weyr << who can puppet Kysti in case here net die
        agin? >

Zaveth> Impth croons to Kiath.

Zaveth> Deirdre climbs down Kolith's neck to her waiting foreleg, and then
        jumps down to the ground.

Zaveth> S'xon hops off Kiath's back as Kiath lowers her neck toward the
        ground.

Zaveth> Shallana says "Hi, Dierdre!"

Zaveth> F'ryx says "hiya S'xon."

Zaveth> S'xon grins and waves to all... )

Keara grins, "It feels good!"

Zaveth> Lunarth flumps down so his rider can lean against him more easily.

Zaveth> Iriniath warbles to Kiath, then returns to humming.

Zaveth> Deirdre says "It's amazing how much trouble I get to on this ledge. 
        Hello, Miri."

Zaveth> Y'rra grins at Moth and L'thar!

Zaveth> Lunarth bespoke Ista Weyr << I will. >>

Zaveth> R'till walks slowly to Chiloth, to put the klah away.

Zaveth> Deirdre grins. "Hey, Shallana."

Zaveth> Ameveth bespoke Ista Weyr << Thanks Lunarth >>

Zaveth> From Moth's back, L'thar frees himself from the riding straps..

Zaveth> Miritha finally spots Krystlin down in the galleries and waves 
        vigorously at her.

Zaveth> T'rod glances up at the arriving Kolith as Beltanth trumpets a 
        greeting to the green.

Zaveth> Miritha says "Heyla, Deirdre!"

Zaveth> L'thar jumps off of Moth

Telefian smiles.

Zaveth> Jidranth hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmms

Zaveth> Hannibal backwings and lands nearby.

Teshla wishes it would start.

Zaveth> Miritha waves at L'thar, too, but doesn't get up from her seat to 
        greet either of them

Zaveth> T'garrick extends his forearm, and Hannibal settles for a landing, 
        eyes wary for any hint of rebellion.

Zaveth> Kharoth hummmmssss some more.

Keara seconds that motion.

Zaveth> L'thar stretches and waves to all.

Zaveth> Kolith warbles to her favourite bronze.

Zaveth> From a dominatating throne on top of T'garrick's head, Hannibal 
        hummmmsss with a sense of command at the eggs.

Teshla says "This the part they don't tell you about. Impression really is 
        easy, it's the waiting that will get you!"

Zaveth> S'xon waves down to Dyane in the galleries, cuz she told me to... P

Zaveth> Calith backwings and lands nearby.

Zaveth> Y'rra pulls L'thar down next to her, grinning, kissing him gently 
        on the cheek

Shalynra chuckles. "No...the mucking out of the barracks will get you."

Cryslin rubs her hands together. "How come when you're nervous, your hands 
        get cold?"

Jazmyn has waited a long time already.

Zaveth> C'lyn clambers down from Calith's back,using her foreleg as an 
        intermediate step.

Zaveth> T'rod coughs quietly at Hannibal.

Zaveth> C'trine wades through spam to say hello to L'thar and Deirdre.

Zaveth> Entwined on Teyal's right shoulder, Akadi prepares herself fot the 
        ultimate task of telling the eggs to hatch.

Jazmyn can handle a few more minutes..

Sh'drina smiles "Remember coming this far is a great honour indeed"

Zaveth> F'ryx smiles to L'thar from the other side of Y'rra.

Kysti has disconnected.

Zaveth> S'xon waves to C'trine

Zaveth> Y'rra grins at C'lyn.

Zaveth> C'trine smiles at S'xon as well.

Zaveth> C'lyn hugs J'nel.


Zaveth> C'trine gives up and just smiles to everyone, once.

Zaveth> Miritha kicks her heels against the cliff again.

Zaveth> C'lyn waves to Y'rra.

Zaveth> Tzornth begins to hum deep in his throat, rumblingly.

Shalynra hrms.

Sh'drina says "I was Searched 4 times before I Impressed"

Zaveth> L'thar hugs Y'rra as he gets pulled down.

Zaveth> J'nel hugs C'lyn back )

Keara prays for Kysti's net. )

Kysti has connected.

Jazmyn icks..112 players on..P

Kysti frowns, call waiting got me... but it won't any more.. )

Zaveth> S'xon says "How ya doin, C'trine? )"

Zaveth> Annalyn giggles.

Keara args, "I'm not surprised."

Zaveth> Y'rra pulls L'thar over until she is leaning betweeen him and F'ryx, 
        smiling.

Jazmyn says "This is my forth time.."

Zaveth> Miritha calls down at Kurion, "If I fall off, _I'm_ going to be
        really bummed out!"

Cryslin says "Then you were honored, indead, Sh'drina..."

Cryslin grins.

Zaveth> Teyal walks over to the edge, peering down, and leans a bit to 
        wave down to everyone.

Teshla sighs.

Telefian chuckles.

Zaveth> Shallana says "Oh, you'd better not, Miri."

Kysti says "mine too Jazmyn..."

Zaveth> F'ryx oifs.

Sh'drina grins.

Shalynra Impressed at the 3rd PernMUSH Hatching...ages ago. Bleah. I'm old. )

Zaveth> Teyal grins from the edge.. "Hey this is a great view. ;)"

Zaveth> C'trine smiles at S'xon, "Well, thank you. Looking forward to 
        finally putting into practice what I have learned in Fall.

Zaveth> T'garrick nudges R'till, so he doesn't fall asleep.

Zaveth> Miritha grins up at Shallana. "I'm not planning to, believe me. 
        Besides, Farlioth would have to catch me, and he'd be incredibly 
        smug at it, too."

Sullivan growfs dinoishly at Shalynra

Zaveth> Y'rra giggles.

Keara pats Shalynra on the shoulder comfortingly, "You don't look it, hon."

Zaveth> Shallana grins. "He would, wouldn't he."

Zaveth> T'garrick says "Different from the last hatching I was at, that's 
        for sure, Teyal."

Shalynra aims a thwap at the impudent Candidate with her cane.

Teshla OOC quietly pleads with the forces that be to get this under way so 
      she doesn't have to see all of it by log.

Jazmyn giggles at Shalynra.

Sh'drina says "ok, Jaz, you're up"

Zaveth> Miritha nods with a grin at Shallana and a fond look at her dragon.

Zaveth> L'thar smiles and sits back, watching.

Zaveth> T'garrick swings up onto Chiloth's back with practiced skill and 
        pats the brown's neck affectionately.

Zaveth> Teyal steps back a bit from the edge as Kharoth gives her a 'look'

Jazmyn jumps?

Zaveth> R'till says "Yes T'gar?"

Zaveth> Deirdre does the ritual Search for a Seat. "Miri?"

Zaveth> From up on Chiloth's broad back, T'garrick fastens the riding 
        straps around his waist.

Keara says "Are we doing roll-call now?"

Zaveth> From Hatching Sands, Aurith looks curiously towards the candidate's 
        room.

Zaveth> Mounted between Chiloth's neck ridges, T'garrick says "I'll be back."

Zaveth> Chiloth launchs from the ledge and into the air.

Jazmyn walks out on to the sands.

Zaveth> From Hatching Sands, Aurith looks questioningly down at her rider.

Zaveth> S'xon takes out his handkerchief, making a parachute, a-la 
        MacGyver, and heads down to the stands...

Zaveth> Shallana says "Yes, come sit near us, Dei."

Zaveth> F'ryx wraps an arm around Y'rra's waist.

Zaveth> C'trine looks down at the sands, alerted by Nahath.

Sh'drina says "Ok, Keara"

Zaveth> C'lyn grins at jailbait.

Zaveth> Kharoth Huuummmmmmmssssssss

From Hatching Sands, Sheanna looks up at Aurith "Yes, we did get candida..
        Oh, here they come."

Keara smiles calmly and heads out.

Keara walks out on to the sands.

From Hatching Sands, Jazmyn bows to Aurith, then her rider and stands
        nervously.

From Hatching Sands, H'kon smiles watching the candidates slowly emerge.

Zaveth> Annalyn says "Ack, someone should set the gallery mail quiet."

Sh'drina says "Sullivan"

Sh'drina says "Teshla"

Teshla has reconnected.

Teshla walks out on to the sands.

Zaveth> Lunarth bugles as _his_ people come onto the sands!

Sh'drina says "Telefian"

From Hatching Sands, Keara bows respectfully, then looks in awe at the eggs.

Sh'drina says "Steff"

Sullivan walks out on to the sands.

Telefian walks out on to the sands.

Steff walks out on to the sands.

Zaveth> F'zik says "I'ze back!"

From Hatching Sands, Teshla glances around at the galleries and ledges and
        then focuses on the eggs.

Zaveth> Annalyn says "Just in time, F'zik."

From Hatching Sands, Telefian smiles and bows respectfully to Aurith and
        Sheanna.

Sh'drina says "Kysti"

Zaveth> F'zik says "Dang, I missed the pre-game show."

Zaveth> Cyrseth backwings and lands nearby.

Zaveth> J'nel says "shards, Lunarth, did you have to be so emphatic?"

Kysti walks out on to the sands.

From Hatching Sands, Teshla remembers her manners and bows too.

Zaveth> C'lyn tosses F'zik the videotape.

Zaveth> T'rod says "Darn."

Zaveth> Y'rra wraps one arm around L'thar and the other around F'ryx.
        grinning happuly

Sh'drina says "Cryslin"

Cryslin walks out on to the sands.

Zaveth> Calith crooons.

Zaveth> The videotape hits F'zik in the forehead and he promptly falls over
the cliff. )

Shalynra gives Sh'drina a hug as she leaves. )

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan bows to his hosts

Sh'drina says "whew, they're all out there"

Zaveth> Deirdre crosses her fingers for Tesh.

Shalynra says "Have fun!"

Sh'drina hugs D'rian and Shal

From Hatching Sands, Cryslin bows to Sheanna and Aurith.

Sh'drina walks out on to the sands.

From Hatching Sands, Kysti pauses, curtsying to her hosts, and to Aurith

Zaveth> F'zik would, once again, like to publicly congratulate C'trel on
        his promotion. )

Shalynra breaks out a skin of wine, two glasses, and sits back to watch the
        show.

Zaveth> F'ryx notes to F'zik, it's -not- official.

Zaveth> T'rod watches Teshla, idly hoping she doesn't Impress here.

From Hatching Sands, Sheanna nods, smiling.

Zaveth> J'nel hopes for those Lunarth searched, plus Cruslin and Steff and
        Kysti!

Zaveth> F'zik knows. He's just being annoying, whadja expect?

Shalynra pours wine for D'rian and herself.

From Hatching Sands, Sh'drina bows to Aurith and Sheanna and walks over to
        stand next to H'kon.

Zaveth> Cyrseth warbles and hummms softly.

Zaveth> Deirdre does, finally, sit.

From Hatching Sands, H'kon gives Sheanna another hug, watching the
        candidates and the eggs proudly.

Zaveth> Lunarth bugles once again at _his_ people, and then resumes humming.

Zaveth> F'ryx considers getting Chanur to abuse you some more, F'zik.

Zaveth> Miritha assumes Dei is sitting nnext to her, what with her having
        pleeeenty of space.

Zaveth> Deirdre nods.

From Hatching Sands, Sh'drina smiles encouragingly at all the candidates.

Zaveth> C'lyn peers over at Miritha wondering if there's more space...

Zaveth> Deirdre watches T'rod, idly wondering if he's just being contrary?

Zaveth> F'zik says "Abuse me? She does?"

Zaveth> Deirdre wrinkles up her nose. "Ewww. A green rider. Heya, C'lyn."

Zaveth> Shallana is sitting near Miritha as well.

Zaveth> F'zik kicks idly at claw-scored rock.

From Hatching Sands, Sh'drina hugs Sheanna and whispers something to her.

Zaveth> Miritha has plenty of room. "Oh, well, I did. Shallana has some
        free space on her other side, and Dei on hers.."

From Hatching Sands, Jazmyn swallows hard and shifts from one foot to the
        other..More from nerves than the heat of the sands though..

Shalynra dropped Huge Bowl of Meat.

Zaveth> C'lyn prefers the gold rider to the stinky green rider. )

Zaveth> T'rod shakes his head. "I think she is gold materiel, Deirdre. And
        I think you know how I dislike people not fulfilling their 
        potential."

Zaveth> Miritha looks pleased at her seating arrangements, indeed.

Zaveth> Deirdre giggles, and would offer C'lyn a hug but is, well, busy.
        Sitting or something.

From Hatching Sands, Kysti forcably quits chewing her knuckle, and
        concentrates on straightening her robes anxiously

Zaveth> C'lyn uh huhs. "Sure Deirdre."

Zaveth> Deirdre says "Amazing, T'rod. I agree with you."

From Hatching Sands, Teshla examines each egg thoroughly in turn from where
        she stands.

Zaveth> Deirdre stands, hugs C'lyn, and sits again.

Zaveth> F'zik recalls his hatching, as you can see from the foolish grin on
his face.

Zaveth> Teyal glances at T'rod, "Not that the other colors are lesser..."

From Hatching Sands, Keara focuses her attention on the eggs, willing
        herself to calmness.

D'rian laggedly picks a seat with a view. )

From Hatching Sands, Cryslin twitches her robe away from her feet and
        watches the eggs.

Zaveth> Teyal pats Kharoth fondly

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan, having taken in his surroundings, takes a
        deep breath and stares straight ahead.

Zaveth> Silence didn't know humans hatched, F'zik....

Zaveth> Miritha considers the eggs. "Oh, let's see. A bronze, a brown, two
        blues, two greens. There are 6 eggs, aren't there? 100 marks on that, 
        if there are."

Zaveth> F'zik thinks Silence should live up to his/her name. )

D'rian remembers the last time, when _h_ was worried to death...

From Hatching Sands, Telefian takes a deep breath and gazes in wonder upon
        the eggs.

Zaveth> F'zik says "Firelizards should be seen and not heard!"

D'rian he, even.

Zaveth> From F'zik's arm, Eskarina waps her perch.

Zaveth> T'rod shrugs. "I did not mean to imply any slight, Teyal. If you
        care to take it as such, that is your .... opinion."

Zaveth> Teyal says "A bronze from a gold/brown mating... ? nNah.."

Zaveth> Shallana says "I doubt there will be a bronze. They're rare from
        brown-gold flights."

Zaveth> Silence dances about, seen, but not heard....

From Hatching Sands, Snowy White Egg rocks gently from side to side.

Zaveth> F'hlan listens to the swirl of conversation around him, eyes a bit
        distant, but he nods quietly to Khaorth's riders, and to Aellya.

Zaveth> F'hlan ahems at his typing.

Zaveth> J'nel notes to silence that once impressed, you really do become
        your dragon, so yes, in a sense, F'zik could remember _his_ 
        hatching.

Zaveth> Miritha glances at Teyal. "It's possible, y'know."

Zaveth> Riyadranth bespoke Ista Weyr << bugles a goodnight...<<have fun at
        the Hatching Ya'all! >> >>

Zaveth> T'rod glances at Aellya, blinks once, and looks back at Teyal.

Shalynra smiles at D'rian, sipping her wine and gazing out at the sands,
        seeing Sexth hatch again in her memory.

GAME Dumping. The game will freeze for a few minutes.

Zaveth> R'till watches the Hatching Grouds, standing tall and still.

Zaveth> Deirdre explains quietly to Teyal about a couple of things.

From Hatching Sands, Silky Ivory Egg shudders slightly.

Zaveth> F'zik sings the "Screen Scroll Blues."

Zaveth> Shallana says "Yes, and from the records I've come across lately,
        they're more common in modern times than in past. Also, dragons 
        are considerably larger."

From Hatching Sands, Jazmyn forces herself to stand still, then turns her
        eyes to the rocking egg, waiting for the first hatchling to arrive.

Zaveth> C'lyn looks down at the candidates. "Boy, I'm glad I'm not poor
        Sh'drina. What a motley crew."

Zaveth> Teyal looks back.. "Yes... Hmm.. we do need more bronze dragons."

Zaveth> Miritha looks around to see if she's betting with anyone.

Zaveth> Silence knows, J'nel ), His pet is just bugging F'zik, long
        distance, and will now be very quiet.

Zaveth> Calith bespoke Ista Weyr << Goodnight Riyadranth! >>

Zaveth> Teyal looks at T'rod, "Well then... what she deserves is a dragon..
        not a particular color."

Zaveth> Annalyn says "Spam, wait, wpam, wait..."

Zaveth> Ista Weyr senses that Aurith begins swearing.

Zaveth> From Hatching Sands, Telefian shifts his feet on the hot sands.

Zaveth> F'zik will bet against a bronze, Miritha.

From Hatching Sands, Sh'drina hugs Sheanna again.

Zaveth> T'rod seems to be betting with Y'rra, right? "200 against Jazmyn?"

Zaveth> Sexth bespoke Ista Weyr << what's up, Aurith? ) >>

From Hatching Sands, Sheanna shakes her head in annoyance.

Zaveth> F'zik says "Six greens!"

From Hatching Sands, Cryslin takes a deep breath and tries to relax.

Zaveth> Chiloth backwings and lands nearby.

Zaveth> Miritha says "100 marks, then, F'zik, about the bronze?"

Zaveth> Teyal never bets against people

Zaveth> Mounted between Chiloth's neck ridges, T'garrick undoes the riding
        straps.

Zaveth> T'garrick jumps down from Chiloth's back with the nonchalant skill
        of long practice.

Zaveth> T'garrick has arrived.

Zaveth> T'rod shakes his head at Teyal. "You do not seem to understand."

Zaveth> Aurith bespoke Ista Weyr << Notice anything happening? No? WEll,
        guess what... >>

Zaveth> F'zik says "Of course, Miritha. Always glad to take your money."

Zaveth> F'zik grins.

From Hatching Sands, Gentle Grey Egg hops slightly in place.

Zaveth> R'till waves to T'garrick, "Welcome back."

Zaveth> Teyal smiles slightly, "Of course I do T'rod.. I just don't agree. )"

Zaveth> Miritha grins at F'zik.

Zaveth> Teyal looks back to the sands

Zaveth> T'garrick nods, and comes in, looking a bit shaken, but otherwise
        well.

From Hatching Sands, Kysti looks up from straightening, her eyes glued to
        the moving eggs nas she now sees them.

From Hatching Sands, Sh'drina rubs Sheanna's back.

Zaveth> F'zik bets 1 mark that he will lose a mark betting.

Zaveth> F'hlan murmurs, "It will be good if they have a bronze. The
        population of bronzes here is low."

Zaveth> Y'rra nods at T'rod. "200/|

Zaveth> Miritha ignores her bronzerider getting into an argument with
        Teyal, and looks around to see if anyone is willing to bet on the
        distribution she's suggesting.

Zaveth> Miritha says "Low is...not the word for it."

Zaveth> J'nel looks pensively at the other riders.

Zaveth> Shallana says "With a pass imminent, it's certainly possible, but
        history favors not a bronze."

Zaveth> Deirdre will bet with .someone. on something.

Zaveth> From Hatching Sands, Sullivan digs his toes into the sand to stand
        his ground. He peers slowly from egg to egg.

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan digs his toes into the sand to stand his
        ground. He peers slowly from egg to egg.

Zaveth> F'zik will bet Deirdre 1 mark that her name doesn't begin with an 'F'.

Zaveth> Miritha says nasty things about Chanur behind her back!

Zaveth> Deirdre smirks.

Zaveth> Miritha -)

Zaveth> T'rod looks for a long moment at Teyal, snorts quiet laughter, and
        shakes his head. He turns his attention to the sands.

Zaveth> T'rod has disconnected.

Zaveth> T'rod craps as he disconnects, much against his will.

Zaveth> Annalyn nods to F'hlan.

Zaveth> F'zik pokes Miritha. "Hey, that's my Headwoman!"

Zaveth> F'hlan nods wordlessly to Miritha and Shallana, absently skitching
        Tzornth, and again to Annalyn.

Zaveth> F'zik pokes T'rod. "Clean up that crap!"

Zaveth> Miritha pokes F'zik back!

Zaveth> J'nel likes Chanur!

Zaveth> F'zik waves his arms wildly and regains his balance.

Zaveth> Aellya likes Chanur to.

From Hatching Sands, Soft Ecru Egg rocks violently.

Zaveth> L'thar squeezes Y'rra lightly, looking around and smiling at the
        people he knows.

Zaveth> F'zik bets -10000 marks on an egg not hatching.

Zaveth> Teyal applauds )

Zaveth> Miritha is Kidding, K-I-D-D-I-N-G, guys..

Zaveth> F'hlan, not a betting man, simply watches.

Zaveth> Y'rra grins at L'thar, squeezing back, leaning against him.

Zaveth> Teyal glares at T'rod while he's not looking ;)

Zaveth> J'nel turns her attention back to the sands as Lunarth humming
        gains intensity in a slow crescendo.

Zaveth> Miritha is only betting with F'zik so far, foo.

Zaveth> T'rod has connected.

Zaveth> F'zik considers starting up a betting syndicate for fun and profit.

Zaveth> Deirdre is most certainly a betting woman. "Sure, Miri."

Zaveth> Silence skitters over to Teyal and perches on her knee with a chirp.

Zaveth> J'nel smiles ooc at Miri, and figured that )

Zaveth> C'lyn will bet Deirdre something... )

Zaveth> Teyal smiles, "Hello there Silence"

From Hatching Sands, Jazmyn glances up at all the people in the galleries
        and far up on the ledges where dragons are humming, blushs a little 
        and then looks back at the rocking eggs, feeling rather small in the 
        huge hatching cavern.

Zaveth> Zaveth hummmmmmmmmmmmms still.

Zaveth> Teyal scritches Silence's eyerideges

Zaveth> F'zik grins and waves at Jazmyn.

Zaveth> F'zik says "Is it me, or are the eggs slow?"

Zaveth> Miritha grins at Dei. "200 on one bronze, one brown, two blues, two
        greens, for me, then?"

Zaveth> Silence looks happy, but stays quiet.

Zaveth> Teyal glances at T'garrick, "Something wrong?"

Zaveth> Miritha says "The eggs are taking their time, yeah, F'zik."

Zaveth> R'till says "It's you F'zik."

Zaveth> F'zik drops a rock on Zedek.

Zaveth> Deirdre laughs. "I remember the last time I bet with you, C'lyn.
        I'm not sure if it's on my safe-list."

From Hatching Sands, Quiet Off-White Egg begins to show signs of a few
        small cracks.

Zaveth> Deirdre nods at Miritha. "Sure."

Zaveth> T'garrick says "No. Just sad the M'kla can't come. And the trip
        between was less than smooth."

From Hatching Sands, Cryslin flips the folds of her robe back and forth,
        trying to dry off some of her sweat from the heat....

Zaveth> J'nel says "don't you dare!" as Lunarth looks like he's ready to
        bugle again. He beging humming more intensely as his rider 
        absently scritches him.

Zaveth> Miritha calls down at Jalyn, "Bet taken, sure! That's 200 for you
        and 200 for Dei if I lose."

Zaveth> Kharoth Hummmmsssss.. With greater intensity

Shalynra drinks a bit more wine..watches the non-Hatching, and wonders how
        much longer this is going to take. )

Zaveth> Annalyn's connection is doing weird things.

Zaveth> C'lyn tosses Dei his riding jacket. Casually.

Zaveth> Caredth roars for the heck of it.

Zaveth> Shallana says "You have awfully keen ears, Miri."

Zaveth> F'ryx delags considerably.

From Hatching Sands, Kysti rocks on her heels a bit, looking at the eggs,
        then glancing up at the galleries, then back at teh eggs, always in
        constant motion.

From Hatching Sands, Teshla shifts on the sands, watching as the eggs begin
        to move, and the noise from ledge grows louder.

Zaveth> Silence eeps!

Zaveth> Calith hums.

Zaveth> F'zik drops another rock on Zedek but misses narrowly.

Zaveth> Deirdre catches the jacket neatly and wraps it around her
        shoulders. "Thanks. Remind me to make sure you get this back."

Zaveth> F'zik has right.

From Hatching Sands, Sheanna dropped Backup_Controller.

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan stands stock still with clarity of thought.

From Hatching Sands, Keara remains calm and silent, focusing her now serene
        thoughts on the eggs and the hatchlings within.

Zaveth> Miritha nods at Shallana cheerfully, and murmurs, "Merall is
        listening."

Zaveth> C'lyn winks at Dei. "Of course."

D'rian chuckles.

Zaveth> Chiloth whistles. No, really he just hums.

Zaveth> Caredth wolfwhistles. Babes! Babes! Babes!

Zaveth> F'zik prepares to drop a rock on S'rtan or malachite.

Zaveth> F'zik drops a rock on Malachite.

From Hatching Sands, Soft Ecru Egg rocks harder.

Zaveth> R'till says "Later all. This Hatching is taking longer than I had
        hoped."

Zaveth> F'zik says "Hey, this is just like the old days, when Hatchings
        were fun filled crash events. )"

Shalynra applauds the backup_conrtoller. "200 marks that Backup_Controller
        gets the gold!"

Zaveth> Teyal wonders if the @wait on the eggs is messed up look it was on
        one of her hatchings awhile ago.

Zaveth> J'nel hopes F'zik got a clean hit.

Zaveth> Deirdre says "Don't say that word, F'zik!"

D'rian laughs!

Zaveth> R'till goes home.

Zaveth> Deirdre is reminded of various and sundry 5-hour crash-filled
        hatchings, and hides.

Zaveth> Aellya eeews

Shalynra chuckles.

Zaveth> F'zik says "What, cr

Zaveth> F'zik says "Oops."

Zaveth> Miritha is fondly remembering Farlioth's Hatching, all of an hour.

Zaveth> J'nel remembers one in particular, and scritches Lunarth with a
        fond faraway look in her eyes...

Zaveth> Aellya laughs.

Zaveth> Shallana says "It took me longer to read the log than that, Miri. ;-)"

You say "So much for done-by-10. We'll be lucky if we have started-by-10. )"

Zaveth> J'nel says "what Shallana said )"

Zaveth> Shallana knows this because she got inactivity timeouted when she
        did. ;-)

Shalynra grins. "Or by 11. Poor Sheanna."

Zaveth> Tobinth backwings and lands nearby.

Zaveth> Shallana says "Hiya, F'gron."

Zaveth> F'gron dismounts Tobinth, using her foreleg for balance.

Zaveth> F'gron waves. "I suppose it's over..."

Zaveth> F'zik says "F'gron, boyo."

Zaveth> Annalyn peers down at the eggs, wondering what's happened.

Zaveth> F'zik says "Not even."

Zaveth> Shallana says "Hasn't started yet."

Zaveth> F'gron says "Ah, whew."

Zaveth> F'zik says "Yeah, one egg left. )"

Zaveth> F'gron says "Never can get the timezones right."

Zaveth> Miritha waves vigorously at F'gron, then peers down at the sands,
        kicking her heels against the cliffside again.

Zaveth> F'zik has a death grip on hard igneous rock.

Zaveth> F'gron leans back against Tobinth's side and looks out.

Zaveth> F'ryx waves.

Zaveth> F'ryx goes home.

Zaveth> T'garrick wonders how many dragons one ledge can support.

Zaveth> Impth goes home.

Zaveth> T'rod thinks that it'd be numerous ledges, T'garrick.

Zaveth> Teyal grins, and notices that it's a long series of ledges...

Zaveth> F'zik says "Darn, here I thought we were all standing on a one
        square foot pillar of rock."

Zaveth> T'garrick says "Just wondering. )"

Zaveth> F'gron says "How many dragons can dance on the head of a..."

Zaveth> F'zik says "Hoey, how would you contract the names down there?"

Zaveth> F'zik drops a rock on C*.

Zaveth> Shallana says "F'zik, you should stop dropping rocks. It's not very
        sportsmanlike of you."

Zaveth> F'zik says "C'lin. K'sti. T'fian. S'van. T'shla? J'myn?"

Zaveth> F'zik says "Hey, they can throw rocks back up. )"

Zaveth> F'zik says "Not my fault if gravity is on my side."

Zaveth> F'gron laughs.

Zaveth> C'lyn looks at F'zik's waistline. "Yes, we can certainly see
        gravity is on your side."

Zaveth> Deirdre hopes Tesh doesn't plan to take a '

Zaveth> F'zik ahems. "I'm slim and trim, thanks."

Zaveth> F'zik says "Aaaah! I've fallen and I can't throw up!"

From Hatching Sands, Silky Ivory Egg quivers and emits small tapping sounds.

Shalynra says "Hey D'rian, if this isn't over by midnight, I need to run
        since the lab is closing. Do you think you could puppet Teshla if 
        we're not done?"

Zaveth> Lunarth resumes humming.

Zaveth> Teyal definately thinks the wait is messed up on those eggs.

D'rian has to leave if this goes past 1115. -

Shalynra chuckles. "Ok. No prob. )"

Zaveth> Tobinth hummmmmmmmms too.

Zaveth> Shallana ho-hums.

Zaveth> Kharoth hummmmmsssss some more

Zaveth> Deirdre thinks the entire concept of Egg is lost on these eggs.

Zaveth> Jidranth
        Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
        mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmms

Zaveth> F'zik hums harmony through his left nostril and counterpoint
        through his right.

Zaveth> Annalyn says "Maybe they got overcooked?"

Zaveth> Tobinth briefly considers outhumming Jidranth, then nah's.

Zaveth> Cyrseth looks down and thinks about humming again.

Zaveth> F'zik says "That would be... a tragedy, Annalyn."

Zaveth> All sense that Vorinth trumpets rather loudly. << Hi, everyone. >>

Zaveth> Y'rra says "Sheanna said she was trying.... something new"

Zaveth> Teyal conciders tossing F'zik off the ledge.. and looks down for
        targets ;)

Zaveth> Miritha thwaps Jidranth. Go easy, eh?

Zaveth> T'garrick frowns at the concept of cooked dragoneggs. "What a
        horrible thought."

Zaveth> Teyal )

Zaveth> Tzornth hums slowly.

Zaveth> Jidranth apologizes... Our human's finger slipped

Zaveth> All sense that Mireth warbles a greeting.

Zaveth> F'zik says "Whymmm shouldmmm Immm put mmmmm in everythingmmmm?"

Zaveth> Shallana sings the praises of testing code beforehand. ;-)

Zaveth> Calibeth backwings and lands nearby.

Zaveth> Calibeth has arrived.

From Hatching Sands, Kysti can't help but fidgit a bit, and does, digging
        her toe into the hot sands unnoticingly

Zaveth> Annalyn says "Or undercooked. Maybe they won't hatch until tomorrow."

Zaveth> Shallana says "Hiya, Theno."

Zaveth> Th'main walks down Calibeth's generously unfolded wing.

Zaveth> All sense that Lunarth warbles to those awakening.

Zaveth> Calibeth looks shocked!

From Hatching Sands, Gentle Grey Egg rolls slightly off the mound, into a
        small depression.

Zaveth> Ada has connected.

Zaveth> Ada snaps suddenly awake

Zaveth> F'zik votes for making Perntime run at 16x for the hatching.

From Hatching Sands, Ista_Weyr says "sorry, will have to exa soft"

Zaveth> Y'rra wakes up, turning immediately to feed and oil her Jidranth.

From Hatching Sands, Gentle Grey Egg starts jumping around a bit, with its
        occupants eagerness.

Zaveth> L'thar pokes his silly bundle next to him.

Zaveth> C'lyn blinks. "The Weyr Talks! It's a sign!"

From Hatching Sands, Gentle Grey Egg gives one final lurch, and is
        still.@triogger me/vb

From Hatching Sands, Cryslin watches the jumping egg with wide eyes.

Zaveth> Ada grumbles that she seems to have missed everything...

From Hatching Sands, Gentle Grey Egg splits down the middle, dropping the
        Cobalt Blue Hatchling on his nose.

From Hatching Sands, The deep, dark blue of this dragon is the color of the
        richest veins of Cobalt found in the mines. A certain amount of pride 
        is evident in the way he holds his head, despite his small size.

Zaveth> T'garrick winces at the typo.

Zaveth> F'zik says "Uh oh."

From Hatching Sands, Steff smiles

Zaveth> Miritha applauds the blue!

Zaveth> Th'main hands Ada an Oreo and pats her head.

From Hatching Sands, Telefian smiles in awe at the arrival of the cobalt blue.

Zaveth> C'lyn applauds the blue!

Zaveth> F'hlan smiles.

Zaveth> F'zik says "Bloo."

Zaveth> Tobinth croons happily to the blue.

Zaveth> C'lyn says "Bless you F'zik."

Zaveth> Zaveth hummmmms approvingly at the blue who's the same color!

Zaveth> J'nel grins. "A blue first! That's a wonderful sign!"

Shalynra YAYS!!!

Zaveth> T'garrick applaudes too. That one deserves it.

From Hatching Sands, Keara smiles encouragingly to the new blue, watching
        it curiously.

Zaveth> Ada grins at Th'main and takes the Oreo.

From Hatching Sands, Teshla smiles, "as the blue emurges, watching to see
        if he hurt himself.

Zaveth> Teyal yeahs... "A blue first! )"

Zaveth> L'thar smiles at the brand new dragon.

Zaveth> Vorinth backwings and lands nearby.

Zaveth> T'garrick wonders what an Oreo is.

Zaveth> Shallana says "Hiya, M'gan."

Zaveth> Lunarth bugles to the new one!

Zaveth> Miritha would say she considers it a good omen if a blue hatches
        first, but then, she considers any hatching a good omen, so. -)

From Hatching Sands, Cobalt Blue Hatchling struggles upright, gaining his
        feet and looking around.

From Hatching Sands, Kysti holds her breath, watching the little blue and
        forgetting about the crowd up there.

Zaveth> Vorinth rumbles quietly. From on his back, M'gan waves. "Good
        evening."

Zaveth> Tzornth rumbles in greeting to Vorinth.

Zaveth> M'gan gently slides down from Vorinth's back to the ground, then
        turns to pat Vorinth thankfully.  Vorinth whuffles happily as a 
        little green swirls through his eyes.

From Hatching Sands, Cobalt Blue Hatchling stumbles around, then stops in
        front of Kysti, looking up in adoration

Zaveth> Th'main takes a deep breath and peers over the edge.

Zaveth> Nahath wuffles in satisfaction.

From Hatching Sands, Jazmyn jumps a little, startled by the blues arrival,
        then watches the blue.

From Hatching Sands, Cryslin watches the blue and the other eggs.

Zaveth> Farlioth hums happily, eyes whirling a contented blue-green.

From Hatching Sands, Cobalt Blue Hatchling slides off the sands in a
        definate direction, glancing into the faces around him, creeling 
        loudly.

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan peers at the dark hatchling.

Zaveth> F'hlan looks up, and nods quietly to M'gan.

From Hatching Sands, Keara looks at the blue, hoping and admiring at the
        same time. )

Zaveth> F'zik says "Wow, he looks just like a firelizard from up here."

From Hatching Sands, Telefian smiles encouragingly to the hatchling,
        admiring him.

Zaveth> Th'main steps a few good steps away from the edge of the ledge,
        steadying himself.

Zaveth> T'garrick raises an eyebrow. "He knew what he wanted."

Shalynra pokes D'rian. "Wakey wakey."

From Hatching Sands, Kysti remembers to breath, "he's so pretty..."

D'rian is awake. Honest. Just very very lagged and wishwishwishing he had a
        client.

Zaveth> Chiloth peers way down over the edge, trying to get a better look.

Zaveth> F'zik watches the rocks rise up, stop, and fall back down on their
throwers.

Shalynra chuckles.

Zaveth> J'nel holds her breath and watches the little blue and Kysti.

From Hatching Sands, Teshla watches the blue with a calm smile, "he's
        beautiful."

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan nods admiringly.

Zaveth> F'zik cheers for the candidates in a rather generic sense.

From Hatching Sands, Cobalt Blue Hatchling stumbles around, looking for
        just the right person, and stops in front of Kysti, looking 
        adoiringly into her eyes.

Zaveth> Deirdre cheers for Teshla.

Zaveth> Annalyn says "Yay!!@"

Zaveth> Deirdre says "In general. )"

Zaveth> F'zik says "Kysti?"

Zaveth> Teyal grins, "Yey!"

Zaveth> F'zik says "K'sti?"

Zaveth> F'gron grins. Yay!

Zaveth> Teyal says "A blue... perfect )"

Zaveth> Ada says "Yay!"

From Hatching Sands, Keara grins happily for Kysti!

From Hatching Sands, Kysti gazes down in wonder, a her hand the only thign
showing her excitement.

Zaveth> Lunarth BUGLES!

Zaveth> Th'main leans against Calibeth, looking at the ceiling.

Zaveth> From Hatching Sands, Steff smiles!

From Hatching Sands, Steff smiles!

From Hatching Sands, Cryslin smiles. "Congratulations, Kysti."

Zaveth> T'garrick says "Sure looks like it. " He yells down "What's his
name?""

From Hatching Sands, Kysti says "he...he's Jaralth!"

From Hatching Sands, Jazmyn smiles at the blue, looking at Kysti and giving
        her a quiet sign of congrates..

Zaveth> F'gron says "K'sti?"

Zaveth> Miritha applauds for Kysti and Jaralth!

From Hatching Sands, Sh'drina smiles at Kysti "Congrats!"

Zaveth> C'trine says "That was quick!"

From Hatching Sands, Telefian smiles congrats to Kysti and Jaralth.

Zaveth> Mireth backwings and lands nearby.

Zaveth> T'garrick cheers.

From Hatching Sands, Kysti manages a feat of bravery and strength, and
        picks up the Gentle Grey Egg.

From Hatching Sands, Teshla smiles a congratulations to Kysti.

Zaveth> Teyal smiles

From Hatching Sands, Soft Ecru Egg vibrates in its place on the sands.

From Hatching Sands, Soft Ecru Egg shatters, leaving the Teal Blue
        Hatchling standing in the wreckage.

From Hatching Sands, Despite the near-green blue of this dragonet, there's
        no doubt as to his gender. Long legs, a wide wingspan, and an 
        unusually deep chest makes this blue nearly as large as a brown, and 
        he seems to have the ego of a bronze.

Zaveth> F'zik says "Okay, Miritha, I'm up 16.6666 marks on you. )"

Zaveth> Miritha laughs.

Zaveth> L'thar grins and watches the hatching happily now, remembering.

Zaveth> Th'main says "I certainly hope it was quick. Nothing's more
        infuriating than a wishy-washy choice."

From Hatching Sands, Shards of a Soft Ecru Egg shudders harder, then goes
        still a moment.

From Hatching Sands, Cracks begin to form over the Soft Ecru Egg, then it
        abrubtly stops.

Zaveth> Teyal grins, bouncing up and down.. "Another blue ) )"

Zaveth> Miritha says "There's my two blues, at least..."

From Hatching Sands, Shards of a Soft Ecru Egg begins to rock back and
        forth frantically.

Zaveth> T'garrick coughs.

Zaveth> Lunarth trumpets to another blue!

From Hatching Sands, Teshla chuckles at the new blue, admiring his attitude.

Zaveth> F'zik says "Bloo."

From Hatching Sands, Telefian admires the beautiful teal blue, smiling to him.

Zaveth> Calibeth looks down at Thenomain, daring him to expand on that.

From Hatching Sands, Keara looks to the newest hatching, wondering what he
        is thinking...knowing he'll chose his right person.

Zaveth> Teyal glances at T'garrick.. "You better not have caught my cold!"

From Hatching Sands, Cryslin grins at the blue.

Zaveth> Ada grins at Teyal and T'gar....

From Hatching Sands, Teal Blue Hatchling spreads his wings, and shakes off
        the excess shards clinging to him.

From Hatching Sands, Steff smiles to herself

Zaveth> T'garrick says "Me, sick? Never."

From Hatching Sands, Telefian sighs in awe as the hatchling spreads out his
        wings.

From Hatching Sands, Teshla admires the blue's wingspan.

Zaveth> J'nel thinks the person who impresses this one will have a handful!

Zaveth> F'hlan nods approvingly; the blue is well-made.

Zaveth> Th'main says "If y'all will excuse me, I'm going somewhere... lower."

From Hatching Sands, Kysti carefully picks up the Cobalt Blue Hatchling.

Zaveth> F'zik says "Ground floor, Miners, PDA, lingerie."

Zaveth> Mireth bugles with excitement.

Kysti steps in, off of the sands.

Zaveth> Th'main says "We could only hope, F'zik."

From Hatching Sands, Teal Blue Hatchling hops purposefully down the sands,
        creeling loudly in hunger, and striking out that those who get in 
        his way.

Kysti bouncibouncibouncibounci

From Hatching Sands, Jazmyn looks towards the teal blue and waits quietly
        for him to make his choice.

D'rian smiles. "Congratulations, Kysti, and Jaralth."

From Hatching Sands, Cryslin carefully stays out of the way.

Zaveth> Th'main walks easily up one of Calibeth's extended wings.

From Hatching Sands, Telefian stands away from the blue, smiling to him
        softly.

Shalynra smiles at Kysti and Jaralth. "Fantastic! Welcome to Ista as a rider!"

Zaveth> J'nel watches to see if the candidates remember to get out of his way.

From Hatching Sands, Keara makes sure to keep out of this blue's way.

Zaveth> Calibeth launchs from the ledge and into the air.

From Hatching Sands, Teshla steps back, still watching him with admiration

Shalynra points out the meat bowl. "He may be hungry....)"

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan digs his toes in the sand.

Zaveth> S'jeev waves at everyone and settles down.

Zaveth> J'nel looks approvingly at three of those whom Lunarth searched.

Zaveth> F'gron waves to S'jeev...

Zaveth> S'jeev smiles and nods at F'gron.

From Hatching Sands, Teal Blue Hatchling reaches Jazmyn, and looks up into
        her eyes meaningfully.

Zaveth> F'zik says "Hiya, S'jeev. Hey, F'gron and S'jeev. Dinos from hell."

From Hatching Sands, Jazmyn stays clear of those claws too, not caring to
        stain to sands with her blood.

From Hatching Sands, H'kon smiles.

From Hatching Sands, Jazmyn blinks

From Hatching Sands, Steff smiles

From Hatching Sands, Cryslin cheers for Jazmyn.

Zaveth> Annalyn says "Jaz, wow."

From Hatching Sands, Keara smiles and cheers silently for Jaz!

From Hatching Sands, Jazmyn says "His name is"

From Hatching Sands, Teshla smiles at Jazmyn. "congratulations."

Zaveth> Lunarth TRUMPETS! << My person! He picked my person! >>

Zaveth> S'jeev smiles. "And proud of it."

Shalynra whoops in happiness!!! "Yay Jazmyn!!!!"

Zaveth> Miritha hides her face in her hands. Quietl.

Zaveth> F'zik . o 0 ( The space between Malachite's ears intentionally left
        blank. )

From Hatching Sands, Jazmyn says "Kyralth!"

Zaveth> F'gron laughs. "Yeah, that's us."

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan whispers "congratulations" to Jazmyn.

Zaveth> Annalyn says "Nice name!"

D'rian smiles. "Now THAT is a pair."

Zaveth> F'gron nods, good name indeed.

Zaveth> T'rod shakes his head, paying Y'rra her 200.

From Hatching Sands, Telefian smiles in congratulations to Jazmyn and Kryalth.

Zaveth> Deirdre looks happily amused.

Zaveth> F'hlan smiles; Tzornth rumbles brassily.

Shalynra nods at D'rian, grinning. "Yep."

Zaveth> All sense that Kiath BUGLES happily!!!!!!!!

Zaveth> Teyal grins...

Zaveth> Teyal cheers for J'myn??

Zaveth> J'nel cheers for Jazmyn and Kyralth, and bounces a whole bunch!

Zaveth> Deirdre says "Poor T'rod. Lost again."

Zaveth> L'thar smiles.

Zaveth> Caredth bugles loudly.

From Hatching Sands, Sh'drina smiles broadly "Congrats Jazmyn!"

Zaveth> All sense that Mireth is very proud of you, Lunarth. << Well done >>

Huge Bowl of Meat has left.

From Hatching Sands, Jazmyn carefully picks up the Teal Blue Hatchling.

Kysti dropped Huge Bowl of Meat.

Shalynra chuckles. "Pose it."

Zaveth> Y'rra smiles at T'rod, "thank you, sir"

Zaveth> L'thar squeezes Y'rra, chuckling.

Zaveth> All sense that Lunarth bugles happily and turns to see hos _his_
        other people do.

Zaveth> F'zik calls down "You need a bath, Malachite!"

Zaveth> Kharoth warbles congrats to Lunarth, then goes back to humming.

From Hatching Sands, Quiet Off-White Egg gives a slight jump.

Kysti nods, she thought of that at the last minute...she's too excited.

Jazmyn steps in, off of the sands.

Zaveth> S'jeev smiles happily at Jazmyn and Kyralth.

Kysti carefully puts down the Cobalt Blue Hatchling.

You say "Congratulations, Jazmyn!"

From Hatching Sands, Silky Ivory Egg rocks tentatively.

Zaveth> Y'rra grins, and leans back against L'thar, holding his hands.

Zaveth> T'garrick cheers down, and thinks a blue fits just fine.

From Hatching Sands, Quiet Off-White Egg hopps about a moment, then is still.

From Hatching Sands, Keara again focuses her attention to the eggs,
        watching curiously.

Shalynra hugs Jazmyn carefully around Kyralth. "I am SOOOOO happy for you!"

Zaveth> F'zik drops a spool of twine on Malachite.

Zaveth> Ameveth bespoke all << whee! >>

Zaveth> J'nel is glad that Lunarth will have forgotten this within four days.

Zaveth> Y'rra giggles.

Kysti takes a bit of meat from the bowl, holding it to Jaralth now.

Jazmyn blinks in slight shock and befuddlement.

From Hatching Sands, Cryslin watches the eggs and absentmindedly twitches
        the folds of her robe.

From Hatching Sands, Silky Ivory Egg quivers again, and shifts on the sands.

Kysti says "am I not 'sposed to be able to chown the shards for him?"

From Hatching Sands, Teshla turns back to the eggs as well, shifting her
        feet from the heat of the sands.

From Hatching Sands, Quiet Off-White Egg bounces again, landin hard, then
        jumps across the mound.

Shalynra says "PLease be sure your shards and dragon are chown-ed, locked,
        and !halted...)"

Zaveth> F'zik grins. A quiet egg?

Shalynra says "Try chown-ing the dragon first."

Zaveth> Y'rra says "it doesn't crack when it breaks open?"

Jazmyn says "Ummm..Hes not chown_ok"

From Hatching Sands, Cryslin turns to Keara and mutters, "Enthusiastic,
        isn't it..."

Kysti can't chown her shards though..they aren't chownable.

Zaveth> F'zik says "One hundred and twenty two."

Shalynra says "For now, also set his home to you too."

From Hatching Sands, Quiet Off-White Egg gives three hard hops, and stands
        wobbling, its occupant struggling to get out.

From Hatching Sands, Telefian chuckles at Cryslin's comment.

From Hatching Sands, Keara smiles at Cryslin, equally enthusiastic. )

Shalynra hrms. "They aren't? Oh dear...well..hrm."

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan smirks quietly

Shalynra says "Ok..don't worry about the chown-ing. That will have to be
        solved later."

Jazmyn carefully puts down the Teal Blue Hatchling.

Amie arrives out of between and makes a tidy landing.

Shalynra smiles. "He's gorgeous, Jazmyn."

Jazmyn nods, "And hungry too!"

Zaveth> F'zik GRINS at the pun on MasterBaker.

From Hatching Sands, Silky Ivory Egg quakes under multiple impacts, and
        parts of the outer shell begin to flake off.

Kysti sees the typo that makes the shards unchownable...

From Hatching Sands, Silky Ivory Egg crumbles into dust, leaving a suprised
        Aqua Blue Hatchling looking around.

Shalynra looks at Amie. "Tell your pet that the dragonets are not chown_ok."

From Hatching Sands, The oceans surrounding Ista Island must have conspired
        to give this well-built blue his color. An unusual ripple of color 
        runs along his left side, running from nearly white by the eye, to a 
        deep, dark blue green next to the wing.

Zaveth> Miritha tries to figure out if there's only been two Hatched.

From Hatching Sands, Keara stands on her toes to peer over at the egg.

Zaveth> F'zik says "Bloo."

Jazmyn shakes her head to clear it and reaches for the meat in the bowl.

Amie chitters that the teal blue needs to be rename

Zaveth> F'zik says "Three, now."

Zaveth> Annalyn says "LOTS of blues!"

Zaveth> Miritha says "Ah, well."

Zaveth> S'jeev has left.

From Hatching Sands, Aqua Blue Hatchling peers in shock, then looks up at
        Aurith for encouragement.

Zaveth> Teyal smiles, "Perfect... )"

Zaveth> Lunarth buglebugletrumpets!

Zaveth> Miritha will haveta take Dei to the poker table to give her the money.

Jazmyn says "If I could chown him, I'd rename him"

From Hatching Sands, Telefian smiles in awe at the aqua blue hatchling,
        encouragaing him silently.

Kysti says "it's me shards that need it...."

From Hatching Sands, Keara stands her ground, looking at the Aqua hatching
        in wonder...encouraging him.

Zaveth> Deirdre can't take money, anyway.

From Hatching Sands, Steff smiles

Shalynra ahs. "The dragonet is chown-able though?"

Zaveth> F'zik bets more than three hundred smileys will exist in the log.
        100 marks? Anyone?

Zaveth> J'nel grins over at Teyal. "You bet!"

From Hatching Sands, Teshla smiles, trying to appear encouraging for this
        blue.

Kysti nods, "it is, and is chown'd

From Hatching Sands, Cryslin waits quietly, watching the blue.

Amie nods. hold on.

Zaveth> Shallana says "300 exactly? Sure, I'd bet against that."

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan peers at Aurith for a little encouragement of
        his own.

Shalynra says "Jazmyn, Kyralth is chown-able?"

From Hatching Sands, Aurith nods, looking resigned.

From Hatching Sands, H'kon grins

Jazmyn says "No, he isn't"

Shalynra hrms. "How weird."

From Hatching Sands, Telefian smiles to Sullivan and looks back at the
        handsome blue hatchling.

Zaveth> F'zik sings "Mood Indigo." Or "Blue Velvet". Or "Buried in Blue".

Amie asks that you wait until the Hatchinh's over and she'll fix it

Kysti nods..okay

From Hatching Sands, Aqua Blue Hatchling carefully steps off the mound,
        spreading his wings for balance, and showing his 'racing stripe'.

Jazmyn nods.

Shalynra scritches Amie. )

Amie warbles in ecstasy.

Zaveth> F'zik says "Elvis->Encil. I can see it."

Zaveth> Lunarth warbles approvingly to the new one.

From Hatching Sands, Sh'drina smiles at the little blue.

From Hatching Sands, Telefian smiles to the hatchling's racing stripe,
        thinking what a wonderful dragon the blue will grow up to be.

From Hatching Sands, Keara clasps her hands together tightly, hoping that
        the hatchling doesn't fall.

From Hatching Sands, Steff grins, watching the

From Hatching Sands, Teshla grins as the hatchling shows off.

From Hatching Sands, Aqua Blue Hatchling looks at each of the people he
        comes to, broadcasting hunger.

Kysti continues feeding little Jaralth, brushing at his hide softly..

From Hatching Sands, Telefian smiles to the hatchling.

Jazmyn feeds Kyralth quietly, looking at him as if she has never seen a
        dragon before.

From Hatching Sands, Keara meets the hatchlings eyes unflinchingly, and
        smiles gently.

From Hatching Sands, Cryslin feels her stomach growl.

From Hatching Sands, Aqua Blue Hatchling stops in front of Steff, staring
        into her eyes lovingly.

Zaveth> F'zik thinks A'lon should have named his twin blue FLs Jake and
        Elwood instead of Castor and Pollux. )

Zaveth> J'nel CHEERS!

Kysti wonders if she shoudl take the honorific like others girls have been
        doing.

Shalynra smiles gently at Jazmyn and Kysti. "It's the most wonderful thing
        in the world, isn't it?"

From Hatching Sands, Quiet Off-White Egg reluctantly cracks apart, forcing
        the Midnight Blue Hatchling to struggle out.

From Hatching Sands, So deeply blue as to be nearly black, this hatchling
        has nothing more than than his color to cause him to stand out. His
        wingspan and size are slightly smaller than average for a blue, and 
        his bugle a bit louder. He seems to have a fairly intelligent glint 
        in his eye, though.

From Hatching Sands, Steff blinks!

Kyralth bugles demandingly if his new lifemate is the least bit slow with
        the meat.

You say "It's entirely up to you, Kysti..."

From Hatching Sands, Cryslin grins broadly at Steff. "Congrats!"

Zaveth> Deirdre claps!

Zaveth> F'zik says "Bloo!"

From Hatching Sands, Keara silently applauds for Steff, smiling.

Zaveth> Zaveth BUGLES!

Zaveth> Annalyn stares. "ANOTHER blue?"

From Hatching Sands, H'kon smiles.

Zaveth> Y'rra grins!

Zaveth> F'hlan arches an eyebrow, and grins. Four blues.

Zaveth> J'nel says "she got a blue! The best color!""

Zaveth> Miritha says "Shards and shells, _four_ blues."

From Hatching Sands, Sh'drina says "Congrats Steff ^)"

From Hatching Sands, Telefian smiles to the midnight blue after
congratulating Steff.

From Hatching Sands, Steff says "H-his names Lareth!"

Zaveth> Teyal grins

Zaveth> Y'rra Would bounce if she were standing up

Shalynra grins at Jazmyn. "Coding already?"

Zaveth> Zaveth Talieneths at his colorsake!

Zaveth> F'gron grins at Steff. Yay.

Zaveth> F'gron eeks.

Zaveth> F'gron has disconnected.

Zaveth> Y'rra says "the last had 3 green, why not? )"

Zaveth> L'thar smiles, "Well, if Pern has a shortage of blues, we're making
        up for it!" )

From Hatching Sands, Midnight Blue Hatchling fights his way out of his
        shards, and stands breathing deeply.

Zaveth> M'gan cheers happily for Steff and Lareth!

From Hatching Sands, Keara looks to the newest blue hatchling, watching him
        closely and eagerly.

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan peers at the deepness in color of the
        hatchling, he just barely remembers to nod to Steff.

Zaveth> Lunarth BUGLES to Steff and Lareth, even if she wasn't one of _his_
        people!

Zaveth> Shallana says "Unfortunately, Pern has a shortage of Greens, not
        blues. But blues are nice too."

From Hatching Sands, Teshla thinks its the blues night at Ista and admires
        this ones dark hide.

Jazmyn says "No..Just in shock..)"

From Hatching Sands, Steff carefully picks up the Aqua Blue Hatchling.

Zaveth> Miritha says "Bronzes. We have a shortage of bronzes. -)"

From Hatching Sands, Telefian smiles to the handsome midnight Blue in awe.

Zaveth> C'trine says "Blues are wonderful!""

Zaveth> F'zik mumbles "Of course, the last egg will be bronze and utterly
        surprise everyone."

From Hatching Sands, Steff walks into the waiting room.

Steff steps in, off of the sands.

Steff has arrived.

Zaveth> Y'rra ummms. "We do? Seems like there's a green flight most every
        day? )"

Zaveth> Nahath wuffles softly.

Zaveth> L'thar would beg to differ, actually, "There are a lot less active
        blues than greens. I've seen many, many more greens on of late than 
        blues.

Zaveth> Deirdre has disconnected.

Zaveth> Deirdre falls asleep next to you.

Zaveth> F'hlan smiles quietly.

Zaveth> Annalyn says "If this were a firelizard hatching, I'd be getting
        very suspicious about the parentage."

From Hatching Sands, Cryslin smiles, waiting for the midnight blue to
        choose someone...

Jazmyn wows..Sure are a lot of blues.

Shalynra smiles. "Congrats Steff and Lareth!"

From Hatching Sands, Midnight Blue Hatchling realizes he's hungry, and lets
        out a large bugule, beginning to look around for the person who's 
        going to feed him.

Zaveth> F'zik folds his jacket up and puts it under Deirdre's head.

Zaveth> Kharoth warbles happily, then huuumm.... some more

Zaveth> Miritha laughs at Annalyn.

D'rian heartily congratulates Steff.

From Hatching Sands, Keara smiles, "We'll all feed you and care for you,
        dear one."

Zaveth> Shallana nods. By the numbers, greens should be half the dragons.
        They're not even a quarter.

Zaveth> C'lyn laughs at Annalyn.

From Hatching Sands, Telefian smiles at the blue's bugle, thinking that his
        voice is quite powerful.

Zaveth> T'garrick swings up onto Chiloth's back with practiced skill and
        pats the brown's neck affectionately.

Zaveth> From atop Chiloth, T'garrick fastens the riding straps around his
        waist.

Zaveth> Y'rra says "True, Shallana... After recently though, I think I'm
        grateful for that )"

Zaveth> Teyal looks at T'garrick, "Leaving?"

Zaveth> Zaveth resists the temptation to bugle bugle bugle bugle bugle
        ..... bugle again at the midnight Blue.

Zaveth> Mounted between Chiloth's neck ridges, T'garrick remembers his weyr
duties and mounts up.

Kysti says "congrats steff ) an Lareth )"

Zaveth> T'rod smiles slightly at Annalyn....

Zaveth> J'nel waves to T'gar.

Shalynra says "Steff, please chown Lareth and the shards if you can. )"

From Hatching Sands, Teshla smiles, agreeing with Telefian.

Zaveth> Mounted between Chiloth's neck ridges, T'garrick says "Yes. I have
        work to do. Wish them all the best for me."

Zaveth> L'thar nods "True, but when there are less active blues than
        bronzes... And we have a bronze problem too." )

Zaveth> Teyal nods, "See you at the Weyr."

Zaveth> F'hlan salutes T'garrick and nods. "Have Chiloth bespeak Tzornth if
        I am needed."

From Hatching Sands, Midnight Blue Hatchling headbuts Cryslin hard enough
        to knock her down, then stands over her and gazes hungrily into her 
        eyes. << Feed me. >>

Zaveth> Chiloth bugles and soars away.

Zaveth> Teyal waves to T'garrick and Chiloth

Zaveth> From atop Chiloth, T'garrick nods.

Steff can't chown him and seems to have forgotten the shards, opps )

Zaveth> Chiloth launchs from the ledge and into the air.

Zaveth> F'zik says "Yay Cryslin."

From Hatching Sands, Keara smiles for Cryslin.

Shalynra chuckles. "Ok..don't worry about it.

Zaveth> J'nel grins happily and bounces again! "Yes, Cryslin!"

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan grins at Cryslin

Jazmyn forgot her shards too..but them noone told her to get them.

From Hatching Sands, Cryslin looks up with her eyes filling with tears. "He
        says his name is Jiareth!"

Zaveth> Y'rra counts on her fingers.... We DO have less active blues don't
        we { I never noticed.

Zaveth> Shallana says "I sort of leave bronzes and golds out of the
        figuring, since we need a certain pool to take from for weyrleaders, 
        while the others are counted relative to total numbers."

From Hatching Sands, Snowy White Egg rocks once, almost unnoticeably, and
        is still.

Zaveth> Deirdre has connected.

Zaveth> C'lyn peers down at Keara.

Zaveth> Deirdre smiles sleepily and opens an eye to figure out where she is.

Zaveth> M'gan cheers happily for Cryslin and Jiareth!

From Hatching Sands, Telefian smiles to Cryslin and Jiareth.

Zaveth> Miritha grins wryly at Shallana.

Zaveth> Tidirth bespoke Ista Weyr << Thats Daddy's little boy! =) >>

From Hatching Sands, Snowy White Egg rocks violently, as if struck, and
        rolls a little way away from its clutchmates.

Zaveth> Elisa has disconnected.

From Hatching Sands, Snowy White Egg shakes with the efforts of the
        dragonet within, and tiny cracks begin to appear in the shell.

From Hatching Sands, Sh'drina chuckles "Congrats Cryslin!"

From Hatching Sands, Snowy White Egg trembles, settling in a hollow in the
        sands.

From Hatching Sands, Cryslin manages a feat of bravery and strength, and
        picks up the Quiet Off-White Egg.

Zaveth> Aellya hopes hopes hopes for Teshla.

From Hatching Sands, Teshla smiles to Cryslin and Jiareth.

Zaveth> Deirdre wonders what she missed?

Zaveth> Lunarth bugles for Cryslin and Jiareth, then trumpets for good
        measure!

Shalynra sighs happily. "It's ok, we'll go back and get the shards later.

Zaveth> F'zik is impressed how far hatching technology has come. )

Zaveth> Kiath warbles happily

Zaveth> Annalyn smirks at F'zik.

From Hatching Sands, Cryslin carefully picks up the Midnight Blue Hatchling.

Zaveth> Miritha says "A blue, Dei. Four, so far."

Cryslin steps in, off of the sands.

Cryslin carefully puts down the Midnight Blue Hatchling.

From Hatching Sands, Brilliant White Egg quivers gently in the sands.

Zaveth> F'zik says "Maybe it's just dark and we're all mistaking green and
        brown for blue."

Zaveth> Teyal grins "A perfect Clutch )"

Shalynra grins at Cryslin and Jiareth. "Welcome to the ranks of riders..."

Zaveth> Miritha looks down at her ring with a gentle smile on her face.

Zaveth> Kharoth warbles happily, and Huummmmmssss some more.

Zaveth> J'nel smirks at Teyal.

D'rian smiles broadly. "You and he just made Zaveth the happiest dragon in
        the Stands, Cryslin."

From Hatching Sands, Snowy White Egg splits open, dropping the Dusky Brown
        Hatchling roughly on the sands.

From Hatching Sands, The dark brown of this well-built, solid dragonet is
        the color of the road after a heavy rain. A deep chest and a large 
        wingspan indicate a dragon that will grow to have quite a bit of 
        stamina.

Zaveth> F'zik says "Brawn!"

Zaveth> C'lyn is psyched about the blues. "More to abu...assign.

Zaveth> Caredth trumpets in triumph.

D'rian's eyes aren't wet at all. Nopenopenope.

Cryslin carefully picks up the Midnight Blue Hatchling.

Well, okay, a little.

Zaveth> Deirdre says "4 blues? Kysti, Jaz, and who else?"

Zaveth> Lunarth warbles approvingly at the newest one.

Zaveth> Y'rra says "Cryslin, Steff"

Zaveth> Teyal says "cryslin"

From Hatching Sands, Telefian looks at the dusky brown, thinking that he
        will be a wonderfully powerful dragon.

Jazmyn looks at Kyralth and hopes he loses that violent streak he showed on
        the sands..She is a dragonhealer, not a fighter.


Zaveth> J'nel says "Steff and Cryslin."

From Hatching Sands, Keara stands looking at the beautiful brown.

Zaveth> Deirdre aaahs.

From Hatching Sands, Dusky Brown Hatchling struggles to stand, catching a
        wing on a claw.

Zaveth> Annalyn says "Nice looking wings on that one."

Cryslin says "it won't let me @chown him...("

Zaveth> Deirdre says "What was Steff's dragons' name?"

From Hatching Sands, Teshla nods, staring at the brown in amasement.

Zaveth> Annalyn says "...if he doesn't shred them."

Zaveth> Tzornth warbles, snaking his head back and forth to watch the
        hatchlings.

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan admires the brown's wingspan

Zaveth> F'zik says "Pardon me, I'm bronze/green colorblind--what color is
        that dragon?"

Shalynra smiles at Jazmyn. "You and he are both strong-willed though..a
        wonderful trait to have."

Zaveth> Ada EEEKS at spam as she unidles.

From Hatching Sands, Telefian hopes that the brown untangles himself.

Zaveth> J'nel says "Lareth."

Zaveth> C'trine says "A brown!""

From Hatching Sands, Keara watches the hatchling carefully to see if he
        needs help.

Zaveth> C'lyn says "brown, F'zik."

Zaveth> Miritha looks pleased. "Brown!"

Zaveth> Shallana says "Orange, F'zik."

Zaveth> F'zik says "Did you say red?"

Amie will fix it later.

Kysti nods to Cryslin, some of them haven't been chownable for soem reason

From Hatching Sands, Dusky Brown Hatchling frees his wing, only to start
        sliding down the mound.

Shalynra says "The chown-ing is messed up..don't worry about it. It will be
        dealt with later."

Zaveth> Shallana says "That's right, F'zik. Go throw a rock somewhere."

Zaveth> Cyrseth bugles down at the new brown.

Zaveth> C'lyn helps F'zik see red.

Zaveth> M'gan looks thoughtful. "Deep ochre, maybe?"

Zaveth> Lunarth bugles at his people!

Cryslin carefully puts down the Midnight Blue Hatchling.

Zaveth> Farlioth hums cheerfully.

Zaveth> F'zik idly builds a large pile of rocks under Shallana's feet.

From Hatching Sands, Keara starts to step towards him, but is
        unsure...wanting to help but not wanting to crwod him.

Zaveth> T'rod says "Purple, F'zik. A nice mauve."

Zaveth> Annalyn says "Walnut, I'd say."

Jazmyn nods, then looks down and smiles softly at Kyralth, "Okay. I know
        you didn't really want to hurt anyone."

Zaveth> F'zik says "Taupe?"

Cryslin scritches Jiareth's eyeridges.

Shalynra notices the naming is messed up too. Hrm. Poor Sheanna..she's had
        such a rough night.

Zaveth> Teyal looks down, "Wonder who he'll slide into ;)

Kysti feeds Jaralth some more, an softly scritches him... so beautiful.

Zaveth> Astarith rumbles at Caredth's rider.

From Hatching Sands, Telefian wants to help, but remembers the warnings and
        fights internally with himself. He decides to stand back and let the 
        brown untangle and help himself.

D'rian looks at the dragonet so much like his own Zaveth> and smiles to
        himself, eyes glistening.

Zaveth> J'nel holds her breath, muttering, "Keara'll be shredded if she
        does that"

From Hatching Sands, Dusky Brown Hatchling slides to a stop in front of
        Keara, and looks up in startlement, his eyes catching hers in 
        adoration.

From Hatching Sands, Teshla watches the brown eagerly, not sure how to help
        him.

From Hatching Sands, Keara smiles brightly and looks into his eyes.

From Hatching Sands, Telefian smiles to Keara.

Kyralth warbles and demands more meat, a little less haughtily then before.

Zaveth> Imareth backwings and lands nearby.

Zaveth> C'lyn cheers for Keara!

Zaveth> Lunarth TRUMPETS as the obviously intelligent brown picks one of
        _his_ people!

Zaveth> Teyal chuckles...

Zaveth> S'jeev nods slowly.

Zaveth> Deirdre grins at J'nel.

Zaveth> F'zik says "Bets on the last impressee?"

Zaveth> Miritha covers her ears. "Ow."

Zaveth> F'zik says "Hiya, S'jeev."

From Hatching Sands, Keara looks at the hatchling, "Ohh, Mesolth!"

Zaveth> T'rod continues to watch Teshla, curious.

From Hatching Sands, Teshla smiles to Keara, and Mesolth.

Zaveth> S'jeev nods at F'zik. "Hiya."

Zaveth> Tzornth looks up briefly, watching Imareth land. He croons quietly,
        then turns again to watch the hatchling brown.

Zaveth> J'nel moans and tries to slink down into the ledge. "Lunarth, stop
        being a twit!"

Zaveth> Annalyn says "I like that name too. Mesolth. Has a nice ring to it."

From Hatching Sands, Telefian congratulates Keara and Mesolth.

From Hatching Sands, Sh'drina smiles broadly at Keara and Mesolth.

Zaveth> Kelligrien leans forward, watching carefully

Zaveth> Vorinth croons to Imareth.

Jazmyn wonders if Kyralth is really a bronze covered in blue paint? ) (I'm
        the wrong sex for that)

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan pats Keara on the shoulder.

From Hatching Sands, H'kon grins at Keara.

From Hatching Sands, Keara beams happily at the beautiful brown.

Zaveth> F'zik says "100 what? Who? Where? Did I lose my bet?"

Zaveth> Deirdre watches T'rod watch Tesh.

Shalynra grins at Jazmyn.

From Hatching Sands, Keara carefully picks up the Dusky Brown Hatchling.

From Hatching Sands, Brilliant White Egg begins to rock steadily back and
        forth.

Zaveth> Imareth croons almost soundlessly towards Tzornth.

Zaveth> F'zik watches Dei watch T'rod watch Tesh.

Zaveth> Miritha picks Arabella out of the crowd and eyes her.

Zaveth> J'nel quickly recovers and cheers for keara and Mesolth!

From Hatching Sands, Keara manages a feat of strength and bravery, and
        picks up the Snowy White Egg.

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan peers about at the remaining candidates.

Zaveth> On Mireth, Kelligrien laughs

Zaveth> C'lyn wholf whistles down at Jelara and G'son.

Zaveth> F'zik says "Naw, sorry, Jarad."

Zaveth> T'rod watches F'zik watch Dei watch T'rod watch Tesh. Ooops!

From Hatching Sands, Brilliant White Egg quivers frantically, as the
        hatchling inside struggles to be born!

Keara steps in, off of the sands.

You say "Congratulations, Keara!"

Zaveth> F'zik says "Recursion limit exceeded."

Kysti says "Hi keara! Congrats!!"

Shalynra smiles at Keara and Mesolth. "Welcome to Ista Weyr...."

Keara laughs with excitement and hugs her new friend.

Zaveth> T'rod glances up at Mireth, surprised. "Hello, Kelligrien."

Zaveth> F'hlan nods politely to Brigid and her green.

Zaveth> Lunarth warbles happily to Keara and Mesolth!

Kyralth snorts while eatting another chunk of meat.

Cryslin says "Congratulations, Keara..."

Zaveth> Aellya wonders what Jarad wanted.

Zaveth> On Mireth, Kelligrien smiles down at T'rod. How are you?

From Hatching Sands, Brilliant White Egg slows its rocking for a moment, as
        if its occupant is reganing its strength.

Zaveth> Deirdre decurses todeath.

Keara smiles, "Thank you!"

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan takes in a deep breath and clears his mind.

From Hatching Sands, Telefian bits his lip with nervousness as he looks at
        the brilliant white egg.

Zaveth> S'jeev grabs hold of Mireth's riding straps and lifts himself up.
        S'jeev settles himself on top of Mireth.

From Hatching Sands, Brilliant White Egg abrubtly breaks, allowing the
        Tarnish Bronze Hatchling to stumble free.

Keara now crosses her fingers for Tel. )

From Hatching Sands, The deep, dark color of this hatchling's skin makes it
        appear as if he were badly in need of a polishing. A 
        well-proportioned bronze, he's also quite a bit longer than average, 
        and has a wingspan to match.

Shalynra scritches Kyralth's head. "You _are_ a bold one, aren't you?"

Zaveth> F'zik says "Bronze! WHAT?"

Zaveth> Tzornth trumpets!

Zaveth> F'zik clutches at his hair.

Zaveth> Calith bugles loudly!

Zaveth> T'rod says "Fair, milady Kelli."

Zaveth> On Mireth, S'jeev cheers!

Zaveth> Shallana says "Hmm, there was a bronze. How fortunate."

From Hatching Sands, Tarnished Bronze Hatchling scrambles out of his shell,
        bits of white startling against his hide.

Zaveth> Lunarth BUGLES!

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan gazes in awe upon the bronze.

Zaveth> F'zik whimpers.

Zaveth> Miritha glances around."Bronze."

Zaveth> Vorinth trumpets happily down to the newest bronze.

From Hatching Sands, Telefian awes at the bronze hathcling. "Whoa, you're
        beautiful!" he gasps quietly.

Zaveth> T'rod lifts his head, seeing the bronze. "Perfect," he purrs.

Zaveth> On Mireth, Kelligrien flushes and looks at S'jeev

Zaveth> C'trine smiles, "A bronze! So much for the odds."

Zaveth> On Mireth, S'jeev holds Kelligrien close.

Keara carefully puts down the Dusky Brown Hatchling.

Zaveth> Miritha says "F'zk, you owe me. -)"

Zaveth> F'zik says "Hey, who's male down there?"

Zaveth> Beltanth trumpets a greeting to the new addition.

Zaveth> Shallana says "So, I'd not bet on Teshla."

Zaveth> Deirdre runs a hand over her head. "Sullivan?"

Zaveth> Y'rra says "Telefian and Sullivan"

Zaveth> On Mireth, S'jeev says "Wonderful."

Zaveth> F'zik counts out 100 marks, VERY SLOWLY.

Zaveth> L'thar smiles, "We need a bronze, the dragons know that, so a
        bronze we get." )

Zaveth> J'nel says "Sullivan and Telefian."

Kysti wraps her arms about the little one, holding close..so sweet.

From Hatching Sands, Tarnished Bronze Hatchling trips down the sands,
        looking about carefully.

Zaveth> Deirdre says "Amazing. I'd hate to be the person with a 50 change
        of getting a bronze. Unless they *ugh* take it into the stands."

Zaveth> All sense that Lemarath bugles a greeting to the young bronze.

Zaveth> On Imareth, Brigid concentrates totally on the sands, and probably
        won't hear anything else...

Zaveth> F'zik says "Apparently, Miritha doesn't need 100 marks. Yay. )"

Zaveth> Shallana says "I'll arbitrarily choose Telefian, not knowint either."

Zaveth> F'hlan reddens sheepishly.

From Hatching Sands, Telefian looks in heartfelt admiration at the bronze.

Zaveth> On Mireth, Kelligrien plants a kiss on Mireth

Keara says "Can I feed him, Shalynra?"

Kyralth snorts again, but is too busy eatting to worry about anything else.

Zaveth> J'nel hopes for Telefian, whom lunarth searched.

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan fidgits slightly, hoping.

Zaveth> C'lyn grins at J'nel. "Kiddo, Lunarth helped Search just about
        everyone."

Shalynra says "keara, chown him and the shards please. )"

Keara says "I did. )"

Zaveth> L'thar nods, "Yep, if Miritha doesn't keep small enough marks to
        make change, then she doesn't want any more." )

Zaveth> F'zik says "M'chite! M'chite!"

From Hatching Sands, Teshla watches the bronze with a slight smile.

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan stands upright and stares at the bronze with
        a friendly smile.

Zaveth> Mireth warbles happily at Kelligrien and at the Bronze!

Shalynra smiles. "Did it all chown fine? No problems?"

Zaveth> Miritha hmphs.

Zaveth> J'nel says "except Sullivan! He was there for everyone but Steff
        and Sullivan."

Zaveth> All sense that Tidirth struts proudly in his Weyr.

Kysti scritches him, feeding the little one more )

Keara says "Everything's great! )"

Zaveth> On Mireth, Kelligrien leans back against S'jeev and sighs

Kysti says "an he's small...like me )"

From Hatching Sands, Tarnished Bronze Hatchling picks himself up again, and
        carefully walks forward, only to trip and stumble.

Zaveth> All sense that Torinth giggles at Tidirth....

Zaveth> Teyal thinks Steff was on the sands at Kharoth's hatching.

Zaveth> Deirdre looks down at all the Smiths and grins evilly.

From Hatching Sands, Tarnished Bronze Hatchling lands in front of Sullivan,
        and looks up at him with wide eyed adoration.

Zaveth> All sense that Ameveth bugles excitedly in her weyr.

Zaveth> On Mireth, S'jeev nods and pats Mireth.

Zaveth> F'zik says "Brahnze."

From Hatching Sands, Telefian smiles to the bronze in concern, wanting so
        badly to help him, but not daring to.

Zaveth> C'trine smiles at T'rod, "How about Teshla for the bronze?"

Zaveth> Miritha idly reminds everyone that Tzornth only had two choices
        before he went into the stands...and he still chose one of those 
        two.

Zaveth> Iriniath BUGLES!

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan helps the bronze up.

Zaveth> Lunarth dragon chuckles a bit, smugly. << None of the blues fell! >>

Zaveth> T'rod laughs at C'trine. "Oh, I'd love it....."

Zaveth> F'zik says "All male hatching. Sexism! Sexism! )"

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan says "his... his name is Larnth"

Zaveth> Deirdre cheeeeeeers!

Zaveth> Kharoth warble/chuckles along with Lunarth.

From Hatching Sands, Aurith bugles in relief.

Jazmyn looks out and hmms....S'livan?

Zaveth> (blues) Zaveth bespoke << Which just goes to show, once more, that
        we _do_ rule Pern. ) >>

Zaveth> On Mireth, Kelligrien blinks at C'trine, then decides it is NONE of
        her business)

From Hatching Sands, Telefian smiles to Sullivan and Laranth.

Shalynra says "S'van...I hope. )"

Zaveth> Vorinth bugles for Sullivan and Larnth!

Ista_Weyr has arrived.

Zaveth> Lunarth warbles to the new pair.

Zaveth> Calith bugles!

Zaveth> Beltanth blinks. Larnth? What cind of bronze name is that??

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan carefully lifts the hatchling.

Kysti looks up, "girls take the honorific too don't they?"

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan carefully picks up the Tarnish Bronze Hatchling.

Zaveth> Shallana says "Well, the records show that a bronze has never
        chosen a female. I doubt that is merely an amazing coincidence."

Zaveth> F'hlan glances to Miritha, and grins sheepishly again. Tzornth
        bugles his approval of young Larnth.

Zaveth> Y'rra has left.

Zaveth> (blues) Panth bespoke << Rule.. hmm no, dominate.. ayep >>

Zaveth> F'zik says "G'berth."

Zaveth> J'nel frowns a bit sadly at Telefian and Teshla.

Zaveth> (blues) Kharoth bespoke << Of course... who could doubt it? ) >>

Zaveth> Annalyn says "A short one, Beltanth? -)"

From Hatching Sands, H'kon breathes a deep sigh of joy and gives Sheanna a
        kiss.

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan manages a feat of strength and bravery, and
        picks up the Brilliant White Egg.

You say "It's entirely optional, Kysti."

Jazmyn says "Only if they want it."

Teshla steps in, off of the sands.

From Hatching Sands, Sh'drina smiles at Sullivan and Laranth.

Cryslin says "Only if you want to, Kysti.""

From Hatching Sands, Telefian smiles softly.

Teshla starts the long climb up the stairs to the east.

Zaveth> Jidranth launchs from the ledge and into the air.

Shalynra says "Females only take the honorific if they want too...I choose
        not too, some choose it...it's up to you.""

Cryslin chuckles as she thinks about shortening hers..."What would I do?
        Cr'slin?..naw...

Zaveth> Beltanth rumbles at Annalyn. Apparently. Bleah -- how untraditional.

Zaveth> On Mireth, Kelligrien nodnods at a whisper from S'jeev

Zaveth> (blues) I sense that Nahath bugles in agreement <<Blue forever!>>


Kysti nods, "I dont know what one if I woudl wanna shorten mine.."

Keara likes the form of hers K'ara...but is against the principal behind it.

From Hatching Sands, Sullivan says "no, that's Larnth."

Zaveth> On Mireth, S'jeev nods back.

From Hatching Sands, Sh'drina smiles broadly.

Zaveth> F'zik now wonders who Sullivan's second character is. Mwahahah.
        Flame on.

Zaveth> Shallana says "So, is that going to be S'llivan? S'van? S'liva?"

From Hatching Sands, H'kon smiles, "And what a good name it is.
        Congratulations S'van and Larnth."

Zaveth> Teyal steps up onto Kharoth's foreleg, grabs the riding straps and
        pulls herself up, settling between his neckridges.

From Hatching Sands, Telefian apologizes to Larnth with a smile. "I'm 
        sorry."

From Hatching Sands, Sh'drina hugs Sheanna.

Zaveth> J'nel climbs up Lunarth's proferred foreleg and settles into his
        neckridges. J'nel fastens the riding straps securely to her belt.

Kysti listends to the sound of K'sti, K'ti.. now that last... sounds like
        kitty )

Zaveth> Miritha politely baps Shallana.

Zaveth> Ada smiles and waves to everyone. )

Zaveth> Tzornth peers at Beltanth, having a short name himself.

Zaveth> Ada climbs up onto Navath's strong shoulders.

Zaveth> Lunarth concentrates for a few seconds, tensing to take off.
        Unfurling his wings in a luxurious indolence reminiscent of fluffy 
        clouds on a lazy summer's day, he launches himself toward the sky.

Cryslin grins. "And are you a cat?"

Shalynra chuckles. "Like I said, it's up to you."

Kysti thinks she likes the last one..kinda neat )

Jazmyn giggles.

Zaveth> Melirth launchs from the ledge and into the air.

        her direction.

Cryslin feeds Jiareth, hoping she can change his hatchling name soon...

Zaveth> C'trine smiles a quiet goodbye and climbs up Nahath.

Zaveth> Tannith bespoke all << warbles to all the new ones! >>

Zaveth> L'thar climbs up onto Moth.

Zaveth> (blues) Lunarth bespoke << ROLL CALL!!!! >>

        standing. I'm sorry there weren't enough for everyone."

Jazmyn says "Teal blue"

Steff isn't chownable

Zaveth> F'zik nimbly avoids being trampled by various clumsy dragonfeet.

Shalynra says "Hold on! Give the woman a break! In order of hatching or
        something, please!"

Zaveth> Deirdre falls asleep next to you.

Zaveth> From between Imareth's neck ridges, Brigid blinks. "Only two were
        left?"

Zaveth> On Mireth, Kelligrien smiles up at S'jeev

Zaveth> Shallana says "Well, that was quite male indeed. Not a female
        dragon among them."

From Hatching Sands, Telefian smiles to Sheanna. "It was an honour to be
        Searched."

Zaveth> On Mireth, Kelligrien says "go to #0"

Zaveth> From Imareth's neck, Brigid says "No greens at all?"

From Hatching Sands, Sheanna says "Will the person who Impressed the Teal
        Blue please come claim your shards? The rest of you, check you 
        inventory.  If you don't have shards, you're the one that's left.. 
        come get them. Silky Ivory, you can ask your dragon."

Zaveth> C'lyn clambers down from Calith's back,using her foreleg as an
        intermediate step.

Zaveth> Miritha nods at Shallana. "Odd, wasn't it?"

Zaveth> Brigid slips down the side of Imareth's neck, stepping from her
        foreleg to the ground.

From Hatching Sands, Sheanna says "Good luck the next you stand, Telefian."

Zaveth> Deirdre has connected.

From Hatching Sands, H'kon nods and smiles to Telefian, "Im sorry we didn't
        have enough eggs for all of our candidates. You were all top notch. 
        Please feel free to remain at Ista as long as you like."

Zaveth> On Mireth, S'jeev says "We're going to go Betwween."

times before I Impressed. The right dragon just hasn't been hatched yet"

Zaveth> On Mireth, Kelligrien holds on

        to one leg.  M'gan pats Vorinth lovingly as he grabs the riding 
        straps and lifts himself up to between Vorinth's last two neck 
        ridges.

        and preens.

Zaveth> Kiath disappears into 'between'

Ista_Weyr says "BRB"

From Hatching Sands, In the distance you can hear the proud bugles of
        Tidirth going crazy in his Weyr.

Ista_Weyr walks out on to the sands.

Zaveth> Silence hears a call from M'kla.

Zaveth> Silence slips *between* with a quiet flutter.

Zaveth> Farlioth launchs from the ledge and into the air.

From Hatching Sands, Sheanna says "Actually, if I'd checked on using curly
        braces before putting them all in, they probably would have done 
        MUCH better."

From Hatching Sands, Jazmyn backs away from the eggs as Aurith hisses at her.

Shalynra says "OK y'all, stop picking up and dropping the hatchlings until
        this gets straightened out. Take your dragon and your shards and just 
        wait. )"

Keara says "I don't see any code I don't recognize...just standard
        descriptive attributes and stuff."

S'van says "heck, I've looked at it, used it correctly I think, and it
        still doesn't seem to work."

Zaveth> Kolith bespoke all << It's not that I couldn't get into the main
        grid, I knew that. I couldn't even seem to find an alias that'd 
        take me into the bowl. Finally. >>

Zaveth> Chiloth bespoke all << You can now. We've opened ) >>

Jazmyn has offered to code stuff like this before for people..Its very simple.

You say "If it gets too bad, you can always code your own..."

Cryslin says "You just code it as a normal puppet, yes?"

Jazmyn prefers to code her own

S'van has VL$tarn*@force <bronze=[v(0)], but tarn look doesn't seem to work.

Jazmyn says "Set both the dragon and the shards !halt"

Keara did that.

J'nel smiles, and remembers the problems Lunarth gave her (code-wise) on
        the first night )

Sh'drina says "ok, try &name dragon=$name *@fo #dragon number="

Jazmyn already dested her shards..She needs the quota.

S'van tests

Sh'drina says "if that's not clear, please let me know"

Jazmyn says "For a temporary thing you can type (Dragon's BD#)
        (action)..ie. #20407 warbles sleepily."

Zaveth> (dests) Beltanth bespoke << Telgar Hold? Does it even have sky, is
        it even open? >>

J'nel could set her pin visual to give an idea...

Jazmyn meant DB, not BD

Zaveth> (dests) Melirth bespoke << Not yet, and no. ) >>

Kysti has too much of a rl headache to think...yuck

S'rel walks down the stairs, in the back of the room.

Zaveth> (dests) Farlioth bespoke << Not open yet. >>

Jazmyn suggests doing a @set (dragon)=safe

From S'van's arms Larnth trumpets quite untiredly.

S'rel waves to all the new weyrlings.

Zaveth> (dests) I sense that Farlioth ohs as he sees Melirrth answered
        already, oops.

Jazmyn says "This prevents accidently desting."

J'nel smirks at S'rel.

S'rel says "Good advice."

Zaveth> (dests) I sense that Beltanth got spammed, and didn't catch
        Melirth's answer. << Thanks, Farlioth. >>

J'nel wonders when she should give her "how to hide from proddy WLM(s)"
        lecture, and ducks in advance!

Sh'drina says "ok, I'd like you all to send me +mail of times when you are
        available"

Jazmyn waves to S'rel, looking exhausted and a little shocky..)

From S'van's arms Larnth peers around.

S'rel says "Hey, don't ask me about that...I'm still picking burrs out. )"

You whisper "When Ameveth and/or Roseth get proddy. )" to J'nel.

Keara waves, looking rather bewildered.

From S'van's arms Larnth crees

J'nel says "I dunno. maybe if I'd had advanced notice, I wouldn't have
        disappeared for so long that first time..."

Kyralth peers at S'rel and snorts.

S'van says "can any of you hear Larnth?"

Keara nods. "I can...how are you doing it?"

Sh'drina says "I'm going to tell you a lot of stuff. I will repeat it again
        at a later date, but some of it is important for you to hear now"

S'rel scritches Kyralth. "Nice name, little one."

J'nel nods, and wonders exactly how strong S'van _is_.

S'van shushes Larnth down.

S'rel says "I dunno, a 2 stride dragon can't weigh more then, oh, 100-150
        pounds."

Jazmyn has heard of brown who thought they were bronzes, but this is the
        first blue with an attitude she has seen..)

Keara grins at Jaz.

Sh'drina says "hush now"

J'nel beams at Jazmyn, and every one who impressed.

S'rel says "Oh, you'll have fun keeping him tied down. )"

Shadrina says "Congratulations, all of you. Welcome to Ista. ^) Some of 
        what I'm about to tell you now was stuff I was told when I 
        Impressed, some of it is stuff I wish I'd been told, and a large 
        part of it is stuff I'm telling you in an attempt to head off any 
        potential problems I've witnessed in the  clutches of weyrlings 
        (my own included) I've watched grow up."

Jazmyn acks! "I don't even want to think about that! He'd kill himself 
        trying to chase golds!" P

A firelizard appears, picks up a message from Keara, and disappears into 
        'between'.

Keara apologizes for the mailfl.

Zaveth> Ista Weyr senses that Sexth warbles goodnight. << Fun hatching all! 
        See you tomorrow! >>

Kyralth cocks his head and warbles something that sounds like Who? Me?

S'rel says "But he'll be a terror with the greens. )"

Zaveth> Ista Weyr senses that Lunarth bugles to Sexth!

Sh'drina looks at Jazmyn and Kyralth sternly.

Shadrina says "First off, those who have changed their names among you might 
        want to go through all of your objects and change any references to 
        yourselves to your new name. I know this might sound like a silly 
        reminder, but I do know people who spent months doing it. So I 
        thought I'd mention it. -) Also, all of you will want to change 
        your &pos attribute. The general format is 'Rider of <Dragon / Ista 
        Weyr', and you can put in 'Weyrling' if you want. The only ones who 
        can retain Craft references are dragonhealers, by the way."

Jazmyn looks at her brown magnet button J'nel gave her and back at the 
        hatchling.."You don't look brown?"

        footrace gather is now availabe at the Race Manager's Tent off the

Jeri> Nevon has arrived.

J'nel shrugs and changes it to "brown FL magnet", then shuts up.

Jeri> Arabella looks up and smiles slightly. "Hello again."

Jeri> Nevon smiles back. "Hello. Somethin' wrong?"

Jeri> Fantine chirps cordially.

Sh'drina says "I will shortly be taking you to the barracks. You will each 
        be responsible for creating your own couch"

Shadrina says "About your couches your couch is a largish-weyrling sized 
        hollow in the floor of a BIG room, and should be desc'd as such. 
        Also as such, the exits into the couches should not be locked 
        against anyone, should be transparent, etc. And, as weyrlings, you 
        have no luxuries at all; you have sleeping furs, maybe a cot, and 
        a small press, nothing else."

K'ti says "press?"

Jeri> Arabella shakes her head.."No...I don't think so." She returns to 
        her redfruit juice.

J'nel says "like a drawer or chest."

Sh'drina says "yes, a press, like a object to hold your stuff"

K'ti nods..okay

S'rel says "Like a trunk or chest."

Jazmyn says "A big chest."

Jeri> Peeking from beneath Arabella's hair, Talice chitters at Fantine, 
        happily.

J'nel eeps, smiles apologetically at sh'drina, and shuts up (again)

Jeri> Fantine chitterchatters pleasantly to Talice.

Jeri> Melinda smiles pleasantly as she wipes up a spill.

Jeri> Melinda brings Nevon a mug of steaming klah from a pot on the 
        hearth.

Jazmyn still has her old room, but rented it out to her 12 firelizards..

Jeri> Nevon sips his klah. "How're ye feelin'?"

D'rian sighs and bows out. "Congratulations, everyone... I'll be seeing 
        you very much, very soon indeed. You listen to Sh'drina, now -- 
        she knows what she's talking about."

Jeri> Arabella oh's.."Fine, I suppose...."

J'nel hugs D'rian quietly.

Jeri> Nevon nods, and sips his klah.

D'rian hugs J'nel g'night and waves to everyone.
