Candidate Anoirigan- Meteion interaction, Zathrian mention,
egg/hatchling mention
"No, Meteion, you didn't land on me. I caught you when you
fell... as I will a million times over." Noir responded softly,
his cheeks warm as Meteion apologized. His heart gave a gentle
pitter-pat as she smiled at him.
"I... have to begrudgingly agree. Though my personal opinion of
Zathrian is... rather poor... I hope he recovers. That hatchling
will be a handful, no doubt." He glanced at the next hatchling -
another blue - Impressed to their chosen bonded, and a sad smile
wormed its way across his handsome features. Yet another
hatchling bonded, and he was still here... was this a sign? A
bad omen? Was he just... not meant to Impress...?

Weyrling Melora of Brown Maheeth - what the forsk?
TW: mauling (mention)
It all happened so fast.
That red egg hatched a brown so strong and fierce he ought to be
bronze, but she knew that he was not for her. For starters, he
was brown, not gold. A second reason shone clear as the brown
lunged and savaged Zathrian's arm. Melora stumbled away in a
rather undignified manner, glad to see the brown releasing
Zathrian in short order. Composing herself, she turned her gaze
to the eggs once more, patiently awaiting her gold's arrival
from those quaking eggs.
But that brown proceeded to stride to meet her gaze. Melora
avoided it. The brown moved again, determined to catch her eye.
Melora was determined to not let her eye be caught. After a
moment, she heard a low growl before the world flipped. A weight
pressed her into the Sands. Melora squirmed and squawked, "Get
off me, you brute! Go find your-!"
That wasn't so hard, was it?
...what?
Get up, princess. Let's get outta here before that forsking
knucklehead shows up.
Melora realized in horror that she could feel this brown's
emotions; she could sense such disgust and disdain for his
clutch-siblings. Melora realized in shock that she knew his
name: Maheeth. Gone went all her goals and determinations to
Impress gold and be Weyrwoman, replaced with this harsh reality
that sat atop her. Literally. With the unbreakable bond made,
Maheeth saw fit to release Melora as she began to squirm again,
allowing her to sit up and process. Maheeth sat before her,
looking rather smug, though he did a double-take upon seeing who
had emerged from the eggs.
Oh, jeez, Aaroth's out? Forsker... he grumbled, tail swishing
through the sand in irritation.
Melora was just...sitting, doing nothing but stare into space.
What had she done to deserve this? Being bonded to...this brown!
Maheeth was not the gold she was meant to bond! Oh, save the
pity-party for later, the brown himself huffed. Spare me your
whining and whinging and moaning and moping, y'hear? I'm not
gold and I never will be, thank forsk; you'll never be a
queenrider. I'm stuck with you and you're stuck with me. Got all
that? Good. Let's go.
Before she could protest further, Melora found Maheeth
attempting to drag her by the robes away from the other
Candidates. "Get your bloody teeth away from my garments!" she
cried as she hurriedly stood. Never gonna wear them again, so I
don't see the point in keeping them clean, Maheeth replied,
though he did let her robes go. Melora sighed and minced to the
waiting buckets to feed Maheeth, as duty dictated she did. But
how on Pern was she supposed to live this down?

The Lasting Legacy twitched and heaved in turns, rolling and
rocking like a ship at sea. Until, at last, a bright snout
popped from the top, following by a paler leg. A form tumbled
onto the Sands, righting himself soon enough. Yawning and
stretching without hurry, the dragonet padded to greet the
Candidates.
[center]

A bronze! Such a dark and warm-hued bronze! So much so one might
be forgiven for calling him brown.
The bronze scanned the Candidates with no urgency, seeming to
sport a smile on his muzzle. A shifting sound behind him drew
his attention, bringing him to sit on his haunches quietly as
the crowd gasped. From the remnants of the bronze's egg,
fragments were shifting one at a time, like the pebble that
started a rockslide. Like a phoenix from the ashes, wings spread
wide, a second form emerged from the egg, glaring down at the
Candidates and his brother alike.
[center]
HTML https://i.imgur.com/IWFOWUx.png[/center]
Another bronze! Twins, again! Haloneth had yielded two eggs
bearing twins!
While the first bronze was calm and rather friendly, the second
was colder than Telgar's winter winds and emotionless. The
second bronze marched stiffly to see the Candidates, regarding
his twin with veiled disdain. The first bronze made no reaction,
allowing his sibling to pass with a glint to his eye, as though
allowing his younger twin to pick his bonded first. Polite,
wasn't he?
The second bronze appeared distinctly unimpressed with every
Candidate he encountered, so much so that he snarled and
shoulder-checked Judiana into the sands. Other than a bruise and
perhaps a stung pride, she would be alright. Snorting
frustration, the bronze stalked the Candidate line.
Until he found Theon.
The second bronze stopped in his tracks, analyzing Theon from
head to toe, eyes resting on the Candidate's missing arm. After
some moments spent in calculative silence, those rainbows
swirled in the bronze's eyes for Theon.
We will adapt and make do regarding your...defect, the bronze
said curtly, voice raspy and hoarse, as though he was an ancient
being. Nothing but perfection is acceptable, but you will find
more to prove. And you will achieve even greater heights,
overcoming your...disadvantage. We will show ourselves superior
to this rabble. We will prove that we are the ones the Weyr
wants, not these weak ones; the Weyr will not want them, soon
enough. Come, Theon. We've much to do.
The first bronze seemed amused with his brother's choice,
lifting himself from the sands with a groan before resuming his
own search. It didn't take long at all for him to approach the
fallen Judiana, looking to her with concern in those rainbow
eyes.
Oh goodness, are you alright? he enquired, his voice warm and
gentlemanly. I do apologize for Ustinjath. Emotion doesn't sit
well with him. Like cheese does not sit well with me, hoho!
I...did not ruin the joke, did I?
Two more dragons hatched and Impressed. The Morning's Dawn egg
began to shiver, rolling and writhing as it began to crack with
greater vigor.

Weyrling Judiana of Bronze Todayath- hatchling mention,
Impression
Judiana felt her entire body go tumbling down to the Sands as
she was shoulder-checked by one of the twin bronzes to hatch.
She squeaked aloud, tears pricking her eyes.
Until she heard a voice.
She glanced up at the... the second bronze hatchling. He was...
speaking to her...? It was her time...? It was...! It was!
Oh...! Oh my goodness...! Hello...! She smiled brilliantly,
sitting up with a tearful laugh. No, that was very funny! I
loved it! Oh, I've waited so long to finally find you, and here
you are! At last!
Indeed I am, dear one. I am Todayath. The bronze chortled. I
have been waiting for you, here on these Sands. Come, let us go.
We have all the time in the world, my dear Judiana, and I wish
to fill my belly so that I can spend my days in the sun with
you.
With a polite bow, Judiana and Todayath left for the buckets of
food, the maiden being in tears of joy. A bronze!

Theon - Exit, Mentions Judiana, bronze Twins, & Reaction to
Impression
Watching the egg hatch, Theon couldn't help audibly gasping as
not one, but two bronzes made their way out of the egg. Two sets
of twins in one clutch? How was that even possible? Like the
first egg, the second seemed to be the troublemaker even if this
time it was from being cold over outright mean. Perhaps it was
the second of the twins who had responded in such an upset
manner at the touching, which left him prepared to get bit as
well.
As the younger bronze made his rounds with the candidates,
apparently at the permission of its twin, he did jump as Judiana
was shoved and sent to the ground by the second bronze. Theon
wondered if she was alright and would have maybe said something
if it wasn't for the panic that filled him as the bronze turned
its gaze to him. Seeing how he was being stared down, the
candidate tensed and waited to be tossed aside like a ragdoll or
shoved in a manner much like Judiana. Neither happened though
and instead he was shocked to see the swirling rainbows and hear
a voice speaking directly to him.
It would be obvious to anyone that Theon wasn't sure how to feel
about this, brow furrowed in what appeared to be confusion. Why
was he the one picked by the bronze? Was this even real? With a
glance around at his other candidates, it was pretty obvious
that for some reason this dragon picked him and seemed to think
they'll work together well in spite of his own 'defect', as the
bronze put it.
'Alright... I... don't have any arguments against that idea.' He
eventually responded, realizing he was taking much too long
since Judiana had already impressed to the older bronze and was
making their way out towards the buckets of food. They should be
doing the same already, not standing there in shock.
'Come on already, then. I don't wish to stand here all evening
with you staring in such shock. I am Ustinjath and we are
bonded. Everyone will understand in time.' The bronze,
Ustinjath, spoke once more to him. The tone was still oddly curt
as he gave Theon a nudge towards the other new weyrlings and,
well, he listened without thinking about it.
He knew he should be glad he impressed at all, more so because
he impressed to a bronze of all colors, yet he was still a bit
conflicted. Perhaps some food, a good night's rest, and a bit of
time would allow for the weyrling to feel more secure in this
new bond he shared.

Blue Astralath | Hatching reaction.
Astralath glowed with pride at the twin bronzes hatching. He
nuzzled Haloneth lovingly. To think his beloved Haloneth had
brought forth two sets of twins! Truly she was incomparable.

Haurchefant of Gold Haloneth | Reactions
Haurchefant was visibly surprised when yet another set of twins
hatched.. his gold was certainly making a reputation for
herself, first she impresses on a man.. and now two sets of
twins! At this point what was next... a return of whites or
something? He chuckled inwardly, as if something so foolish like
that would happen. Regardless, he let out the breath he was
holding when both impressed without bloodshed.
Gold Haloneth | Reaction
Haloneth, on the other hand, turned her head towards Astralath
for a moment before the cracking of the next egg had her
attention and she turned back and gently rolled it forward,
encouraging the baby to hatch. Her gaze turned towards Celia
briefly before she turned and stared down Melora for a moment
and then lingered a look on Theon and Judiana. While she trusted
her children's choices.. she still found a couple of them..
interesting to say the least.

The Morning's Dawn trembled and tipped about, until a hole
opened wide enough for the hatchling within to slither out into
the world. The dragonet shook herself to rid herself the shards
from her egg, proceeding to stride quietly to see what
Candidates were offered to her.

A green! Such a gorgeous forest-y green!
The green wasn't one for dalliance or dawdling, that much was
certain. Meiteon was spared a glance before the green locked
eyes with the man holding the woman: Anoirigan.
We may stay here as you wish, to be with your companion,
Anoirigan, but please do not tarry. I'm rather hungry, as I'm
sure you're aware. I am Clariath. It is good to meet you, at
last.
Simple and quiet saw another dragonet Impress. No maulings, no
fuss. With that, the Jungle Guardian egg lurched violently.
Would this be the Theatrical Provocateur all over again?

Candidate Meteion - Reactions to impression, egg
Meteion smiled warmly and let Noir go as she moved back when the
green moved towards them. She stepped back several steps and let
him have his moment. Her friends all impressed, she was happy! "
Better go feed her, she is very pretty, congrats Noir." She said
softly and then noticed the egg behaving like the violent brown
one did and backed up as close to a solid wall as she could,
making herself smaller, not wanting to be mauled by whatever was
in there. She was alone now, no friends nearby, nothing and no
one to protect her. She only had herself.

Weyrling Anoirigan of Green Clariath - reactions to
Impression, Clariath, Meteoin, exit
We may stay here as you wish, to be with your companion,
Anoirigan, but please do not tarry. I'm rather hungry, as I'm
sure you're aware. I am Clariath. It is good to meet you, at
last.
Anoirigan was... shocked. Stunned to the point of silence.
Before him and Meteion, stood a dazzling little green hatchling.
Her beauty did not go unnoticed by the lad, for it brought tears
to his eyes. Was this the bronze, or even gold of his dreams?
No. But was this his perfect partner? Yes. In every sense of the
word, this pairing was what he needed.
Clariath... The lad croaked.
Hush now, my boy, for I am here. I have been waiting oh so
patiently for this moment. I am not the color your heart longed
for, but I am yours and you are mine. And though I understand
your desires to stay with the girl, I must implore you to leave
with me. I must eat, my dear boy, there will be time to sit in
her company later.
With a last trembling smile directed at Meteion, Noir stood up
straight and left the Sands, feeding his newly bonded partner as
was needed. Such a hunger in such a little body! As a last
lingering thought, the lad cast his gaze to the endless skies.
I hope I'm making you proud, Father...
