Kleoth quickly proved herself to be an attentive and protective mother, quick to mantle her wings over her eggs with a warning rumble should any small thing rouse her suspicion or wariness. No males were tolerated upon the sands, save for her blue brothers, and even they would be rousted after short periods. The same strictness did not at all apply to females, and the queen was more than happy to invite her green sisters and fellow golds to stop by for a visit. For the most part, she doted on each and every egg, tending to them with gentleness and love. It made Phryana wonder how she would react to the Candidates arriving to meet the eggs.
Soon enough, the time had come for the Candidates to meet her brood. Kleoth took her time in the morning to nose her children individually. Today is a special day. She told them all, caressing each shell with her snout. Today, you get to meet those who might be Yours. But do not fret if you are not sure when it is all said and done. When the time comes to choose, you will know. This, she promised. If you are finished or need me, only call. I will be right here.
Phryana watched her gold, allowing her to have her moment before glancing towards the entrance to the sands. They were here. She lifted a hand in greeting before focusing on Kleoth. It’s time, my love.
Kleoth lifted her enormous head to survey the oncoming Candidates, her eyes a strange mix of green and orange. She was not concerned about them as she normally would be--not today. The Candidatemaster would tend to his children, and she would tend to hers. Reluctantly, the queen pulled her tail and wings away, settling in a crouch so she could watch the interactions carefully. Pipith, too, was welcome to watch from his ledge above.

Closes: TBD.
A'ral will have lead the Candidates to the Hatching Sands after lecturing them about the do's and don'ts of a Touching. He expects good behavior, and anyone who causes trouble risks getting removed or banned from the next Hatching.
Generally speaking, Candidates can move about the eggs freely. They may touch only one egg, or can touch them all. He is less fussed about someone lingering near a favored or preferred egg, but do so at your own risk.
Once some times has passed, the Weyrlingmaster will call the Candidates back to the barracks, unless Kleoth orders them out early, or the eggs get too upset. He expects Candidates to be cleaned up, respectful to Kleoth, and to be kind. He knows this is a personal, but important, experience for Cnadidates and the eggs.
Welcome to the Colorful Clutch!
Please keep the following rules in mind.
IC Action will result in IC Consequence. Remember this!
You will not get to break or crack the eggs. Don't even try. If an egg is meant to break or crack, staff will dictate this.
Misbehaving now can get a character banned from the Hatching itself or kicked out as a Candidate. Don't test F'dral, A'ral, or staff!
Staff will try to respond to ICly to individuals touching the eggs. Depending on RL and time, we cannot guarantee a response to every post, but we will try! Some staff have a lot going on IRL. If you touch an egg and don't get a reply, consider the egg simply asleep or quiet. Not every egg wants to talk, after all.
Please make sure you mention which egg your character is touching by the proper name and in bold type i.e The Happy Ghost Egg
Do not move your Candidate again in the RP once they touch an egg until you get a reply! If you move them on before staff responds, we will not write a response! Additionally, it sometimes makes it hard for us to know if they're still there or not as sometimes we're responding to quotes and not reading the entire RP.
Please keep in mind that you might not get to all the eggs. IC events might cause the eggs to be untouchable or for it to end early. If you have a favorite egg I would suggest touching it early because we will not keep this open or delay closing once we're ready to move on.
Please do not edit or backdate which egg you touched. We'll try to keep things moving in the RP.
If you feel staff has missed responding to your touching post, please PM/DM either Uta or Mr Cheri. Note: Cheri prefers DMs, as he has a mostly full inbox. We'll quote individuals with their eggs response but please understand that it might take some time. Give us a day or two, as we both have RL jobs and aren't always able to sign online daily.
We will move slowly due to how many eggs need to be touched AND the fact that we have less time OOCly than we used to!
You will not likely touch every egg OOCly. So pick your favorites and get your Candidate to them! We cannot guarantee responses to from every egg to every Candidate due to the size. We will get to as many as possible, but to keep us from suffering burnout, we may need to wrap well before all the eggs are touched.
If something goes wrong ICly or the Queen gets upset, the Touching could close early!
Please remember your Candidates have been TRAINED on how to act around the eggs! Don't play them like fools or idiots because this is IMPORTANT to them. They could get banned from Candidacy if they act poorly during a Touching or barred from the Hatching. They all know better, whether they are new to the Weyr or not!
It is okay if you don't touch all the eggs! You can either claim they did and got no response OR that they didn't bother with all of them and that's okay too. Not every egg has to be touched.
You may join in or make new characters as long as the Touching is running. Once it closes, it will be assumed that all Candidates participated whether they actually did so ICly or not.
To keep us from burnout, we ask you only bring in Candidates that you want to have eligible for the Hatching! You can assume your other Candidates are there, just not the focus.
You do not have to participate in the Touching to have a shot at Impressing from the clutch.
You may RP with others while touching eggs or waiting for responses. You may also have your characters remove themselves to the sidelines or the stands to chatter. Candidate should not leave the Hatching Sands though. If they do not wish to continue, they can sit quietly in the tiers until F'dral or A'ral usher them to leave. Remember, though, that this time is meant for Candidates to focus on the eggs--no matter personal feelings, the Candidates main focus should be the eggs. OOCly, we know that it might take time for staff to reply, so you are allowed to have some RP with friends and other characters while you wait for a reply.
Once again, for sake of RP it is encouraged to touch one egg, and not move on to another until you are given a Staff Response. If your Candidate leaves the egg before the response, you won't get one at all.
Any other questions? PM Uta or Mr Cheri
Clutch Specifics
You may linger near any eggs you like, for as long as you like, but you may not get more than one response. On the other hand, you could strike up a friendship with the egg so don't feel like you must move on after a reply or two. If the egg and you seem to be talking, keep it up or wrap it up--however you feel. No need to end it prematurely though.
For any reason A'ral or F'dral, one of the Candidatemaster Seconds or Assistants might move you on from an egg.
We are NOT limiting how many eggs you can touch, but just assume you will NOT touch them all. So we still suggest you pick your favorites first! ICly, your Candidate likely had time to touch them all if they chose to do so! So get your favorites out of the way early or be satisfied that you might not get to see the egg in the Touching.
We will shut this down ICly if things get out of hand, if the gold gets upset, or the eggs get upset. Please, remember, this is a Big Deal for your characters. Even new Candidates will have been told how to behave, what to do, what not to do, and the consequences if they break these rules!
Again, nobody leaves the Sands even when they're done Touching the eggs. Just go sit in the tiers and wait. Riders may also sit in the tiers or hang out in the Bowl to socialize or quietly watch just to see how it goes.

OREUNE
Oddly enough, Oreune felt at peace with this touching. Granted she'd been at peace for the other one, before getting torn into pieces (not really) but this was just touching eggs and absolutely just touching eggs was something she could do. Literally anyone could, so long as they were a candidate anyway, and the rules by this point had been drilled into her head so much A'ral was starting to appear in Oreune's dreams.
To chew her out about following them, of course. The rules, that is. Faranth knows it woke her up enough in a cold sweat plenty of times that she was so sure she could do this with her eyes closed.
Which was not recommended, at all.
So she wouldn't. Naturally.
When it came time to walk onto the sands, Oreune made sure to bow as deeply as she could to Kleoth and her lifemate, making sure to send plenty of thanks and appreciation to both of them for this chance. Because that's what it was - a chance - and Oreune didn't see the point in not taking it. Kleoth was an amazing dragon so naturally her babies shouldn't be too bad.
Naturally.
With that out of the way and Oreune running the list of rules through her head over and over, she managed to get out towards what looked to be a rather small-sized egg. The pattern on it was quite lovely, in a "this is art, when I tilt my head" sort of way, and so she placed her hand on the Red Patterned egg. Hello there, nice weather we're having out here. Really hot, but to be expected - bet you're nice and comfy in an egg though. Can't say it's something I'd have ever experienced myself, but I'd love to hear about it when you hatch out. Or really, I'd like to just say hi. Like I am now. Hi.
And thus came the usual word vomit. It was amazing how fast they spewed even when she wasn't being verbal.
Ugh, sorry. I guess I'm just a bit.....excited. Nervous was the more accurate word, but you weren't supposed to be nervous on the sands.

Natiri—he/him
The day had come—at last. Something more than lessons and chores, and waiting and watching. A low simmer of excitement had begun to bubble under the young boy’s skin at the prospect of taking this next step forward, of meeting the eggs that might, perhaps, contain his… or maybe Fyfy’s… dragon. He had done his best to listen and learn, memorizing each rule and committing them to heart through the days. He knew to show his respect to the golden mother, and did so in a curt but deep bow, and then to move among the eggs.
As he moved to stand before the Emperor Penguin Egg, he cast a rapid glance across the crowd of candidates to try to spot Fyfy. Hopefully ahe would comport herself well—and not be too excited and overenthusiastic. He also briefly looked for Oreune—but then returned his focus to the egg, reaching out to place a hand gently but surely on its multicolored side. “Hello. It’s nice to finally meet you. What will you be, I wonder…?”
And then he waited.

Lafyrra
It was timeeeee. Much like Natiri, Lafyrra was buzzing, although unlike her friend, she often lived in a high-energy, excitable state. Life was just better that way. The stolen glimpses of hardening eggs had cast from her mind the worries of home. She'd become a non-stop source of gossip since Kleoth had lain her beautiful clutch. She was a twin Queen- any of her eggs might yield multiple dragons, especially if recent trends were observed. Who knew how many dragons, exactly, would hatch?!
Naturally she was filled with nothing but charm and grace as the candidates were herded towards the sands. Her bow to Kleoth and Phyrana was deep, braided hair swinging past her shoulders. Whilst Natiri seemed drawn to an oddly black and white egg, Lafyrra's eye was stolen by none other than what could be described as the grandest, most colourful egg around. The Dusty Rainbow Egg was so pretty, who could deny it some attention?
"You could steal the show, bright one." Lafyrra spoke, bowing before placing her hand upon the shell. "I've so been looking forwards to meeting you and all of your siblings." She flashed the egg a brilliant grin that she hoped it could sense, projecting all the warmth and enthusiasm that came so easily to her.
Of course, it was the entire clutch's time to shine. This was only the first egg she would greet- the rest of the eggs were spectacular in their own ways. |

Zaexillia
Zae had been nursing secret hopes ever since Kleoth had taken to the skies. Of course, she daydreamed each time a Queen rose, and still she was bondless... What made Kleoth's clutch different, special? Well, for starters, it was her maiden clutch. There was a certain anticipation that made the air thick. Secondly, some of the healers in the infirmary were beginning to comment on her maturity- which she thought she'd possessed in spadefuls long ago, but apparently was only now beginning to surface... That had to mean something, right? She no longer childishly blushed or looked away when the conversation ventured into more salacious territory. She had grown as a young lady. Maybe now she was ready?
Only time, and the unborn dragons, would tell.
She bowed to the golden mother and her rider as instructed, maintaining an air of solemn dignity and her signature ghostly smile. The clutch was beautiful, and she exhaled an awed little sigh as she marvelled at the bright colours. It was hard to know which one to visit first, so she decided on a blue one... Teal Rosette Egg drew the eye, subtle yet special. "Hello. I'm glad to meet you, little one. I feel like we've all been waiting to meet you and your siblings with baited breath..." She mused quietly to herself, thinking of her own family of dragonriders. Was her dragon somewhere amongst these shells? She patted the egg, her heart warm and welcoming.
Raiden
When Raiden witnessed Kleoth's flight, he took lessons and training all the more seriously. He was up at dawn running laps around the bowl, more invested than ever in feeding the Weyr wholesome, non-fish meals, and handing in his homework and assignments amongst the first. With Bion's Impression and recent graduation, he was more desperate than ever to Impress a dragon of his own- so he could protect her and Riojath (sure, they were dragonriders and didn't need protection in the strictest sense, but he'd go Between before he let his sister do anything so dangerous and foolhardy without watching over her).
Thus, when the day of the Touching finally arrived, Raiden's nerves were unusually highly-strung for the oh-so-relaxed, nonchalant youth (ha, as if- Raiden was becoming snippy with most of his peers, as though somehow he could shove the blame of not having yet Impressed onto them). Please, he chanted mentally as he bowed to Kleoth and Phryana, let someone here find me worthy. Or interesting. Or even funny-thinking. He didn't know where to begin, and as the candidates spread out, he found himself wandering the outskirts, ever-watchful.
After careful consideration, he stopped by the Cracked Egg Egg first, placing a gently shaking hand upon its seemingly crackled shell. Hello in there. I hope you're doing well. He greeted the resident mentally, lips pulled into thin lines, eyes roving the details of the shell. You look far more interesting than I feel. Sorry if I'm a bit dull for your liking... He winced a little at how self-deprecating he had become. Come on Raiden. You know how much you're worth. He tried to psych himself up, but felt a bit foolish.

Sablie-she/her
Sablie had been so excited, ever since Kleoth had her flight, waiting for the days when they would get to see them and then get to touch them. Of course, the blonde was looking forward to the day the eggs hatched, but one thing at a time. So when A'ral gathered them all together, she was calm but ready to meet the little minds residing in those eggs. She followed after the others, as she listened to their usual reminder of how they were expected to behave. She gave an understanding nod, always thankful for that reminder...just in case.
Once they were given the go-ahead to file onto the sands, she walked there, being mindful of her steps. She could be a bit of a klutz, but she was mindful of the babies. She gave a bow to Kleoth near her eggs, allowing herself to marvel a moment (along with right herself, since she almost fell) at the gold. Then once the formalities were out of the way, she allowed her bright blue eyes were scanning the eggs. There were a few that drew her attention right off the bat, but one seemed to pull her attention with its bright light first. So she walked slowly to the Teal and blue Lightning Egg at the center of the clutch first. She squatted next to the egg and placed a friendly hand on its shell.
Well hello in there! Your shell is gorgeous, seems to have quite a light to it. How are ya doing in there?she asked good naturedly. She wondered what kind of personality lay in this egg, the minds of humans and dragons alike were fascinating. Deep down, as calm as she was, she could only hope her own dragon may be here. She wanted to join Lyf as a rider, with his own amazing green who just recently graduated. She knew every baby in these eggs were just as wonderful, she just felt it.

Papys - He/Him
It was that time again and Papy was so very excited - he'd only bumbled and fumbled his tasks a little bit (and of course, eagerly made sure to get them done proper eventually) in the time they'd all waited between flight-to-clutching-to-now and the now was easily the best part so far!
Despite some tenure at Touching, Papys still listened to A'ral's instructions with rapt attention - maybe they'd changed since the last time they'd all touched eggs. Maybe he'd forgotten them somehow since the last time. Either way, he clung onto every word until the Candidatemaster released them to go make their greetings to the Queen overseeing her clutch. He bowed to Kleoth, perhaps a few breaths longer than he needed to, before he was off joining the rest of his fellows at meeting all of the eggs.
It was easiest, of course, to start at the front (or what was the front from his perspective), placing his hand on Blue Diamond Egg with no reservation. Hello! It's a fine day for us to get to meet you! Have you been excited to meet us too?
-----
Matotoka - He/Him
Another clutch, another chance, and another Touching that Matotoka was taking careful steps to avoid his brother during - it wasn't his strongest preference, of course, to be minding where the easily-wound-up man was, but it was better for the eggs if the two had a healthy amount of space between them.
Going through the paces was easy enough - bow to Kleoth, bow to the clutch too, he guessed for the sake of thoroughness, and then make friends somewhere. Just to make things easier on the 'give Bukichi space' front, Matotoka strode farther back into the eggs to start with, settling with Bone Egg for the time being. Well, I know today is all about you, friend, so is there anything I can do for you? Anything you'd like to know? He knew the contents of his head were free game even if he hadn't asked, but he'd at least be a willing participant in any rooting around.
-----
Josen - He/Him
Josen had been elbowing and needlin' Serrekhar about the eggs for what felt like sevendays now, speculating quietly with his friend over what could be in each egg. The big ones being metallic or brown was a silly guess, after all. They'd seen larger dragons come out of the smallest eggs before, after all. But today they got to make better guesses about more fun things.
They were meeting baby dragons, after all, and maybe one of them would be theirs. Josen at least was polite enough to not distract Serrekhar while A'ral gave them all their usual reminders about Touching Etiquette - all the better to not be removed from the entire event over being rambunctious, right?
A bow to Kleoth, then it was time to pick the first egg to meet - "I think I'm gonna go meet that one," Josen informed his friend, knowing fully well they could choose eggs on the opposite ends of the sands. But with his decision made, Josen navigated through the eggs, and his fellow candidates, to lay a palm on Bee Egg. He crouched in the sand, clearly willing to settle in if needed. Hello there. Am I the first one to come over and meet you? A shame if so - unless you don't want an adoring crowd.
-----
Kadosse - She/Her
Kadosse was nervous - it was a Touching, so it wasn't as though much should go sideways, but it was an awfully lot of eggs to meet and she did so want to make all their acquaintences if she had the time for it.
With a bow to Kleoth, she took a moment to consider the clutch itself - who was looking a little lonely right then? Ah, you! she thought to herself, moving carefully to where Purple Dinosaur Spots Egg was settled amongst it's siblings and laying her palm upon it gingerly.
I know they never ask you if you want to meet all of us, but are you at least excited to have some attention that isn't from your mother today? I'm sure she's been wonderful, but new people here to adore you is nice, right?
-----
Amahno - He/Him
Well! Wasn't this a good day! Most days were good days, honestly, but Amahno was certain that this one was extra special! Yes, today they got to meet the most recent eggs on the hatching sands and he was ready to greet them all! Once Kleoth was greeted, he walked onto the sands with purpose and without hesitation. He didn't need to waffle about on who needed to be touched first, he simply picked one and went for it.
Which in this case was Purple and Orange Dapple Egg. While there were other eggs about getting attention, this one seemed to have not found it's adoring fanbase yet. It's our lucky day to get to meet you! Do you feel lucky to meet us or would you rather talk about something else?

Nuamia She/her
It was time and Nuamia couldn’t be more thrilled. She got to meet the babies! Sure, it was brief and sometimes awkward but still! She had a skip in her step as she walked to the Hatching Sands. Once there she listened intently to any instructions given for last minute additions. She had been made aware she wasn’t the best at knowing when to do something.
With a bow to Kleoth and Phryana she skipped on to the Sands. Only to stumble a little as the sand gave way beneath her feet. This didn’t bother her or dim her mood in the slightest. Where to start, where to start? She looked for an egg less crowded and headed for Green Spiderweb Egg. She knew that some people gravitated towards the larger eggs, hoping for a gold or a bronze. It didn’t matter to Nuamia what color the dragon inside the egg was. She was just delighted to meet the dragon.
With a hand on the egg, she thought What pearl of wisdom do you have to share? I can let the others know. Or if you rather I can keep the secret. Was she doing this right? For all that she had done many Touchings, it was still a little nerve wracking. What if she angered the egg? She didn’t want that!
Navit He/Him
This was his first Touching and Navit was ready for it. He hadn’t been waiting the most patiently for the time to come. But he had been drinking in all the stories from other candidates about Touchings and Hatchings over the last several sevendays. It was both exhilarating and terrifying. There were some harrowing stories out there. But that didn’t keep his spirits down as he stepped onto the Sands. This was something special he was about to experience and he planned to enjoy it.
Bowing to Kleoth and her rider, he paused to take in the majesty of the sight. The eggs were glorious. Quickly, he moved to the Pink Flower Egg and touched it gently. He hadn’t really figured out the idea of thinking messages at dragons, and for all that he was assured they would hear him, he wanted to be sure. Maybe if he spoke the words as he thought them, it would be easier for the dragon to hear. “Hello. I am so pleased to be given the honor of meeting you. I understand that you are trying to get my measure. Let me know if there is anything in particular you want to know.”

Brenley
He strolled slowly, considering the excitement around him, and moved off to one side after his bow to Kleoth, surveying the patterns on the newly-laid eggs. In the past, touchings had occasionally been overwhelming for him, and not in the jumpy, happy way of others, but this one was... a tightly run ship, he supposed, presided over by a very particular queen. And there was a nice, calm-looking egg just there. This would go well.
Bren carefully crossed the sands, coming to a stop in front of the Grey Starry Egg. He placed both hands confidently upon the monochromatic shell and turned his attention toward it.
Hello. I hope you're comfortable.

Tihrokat - He/Him
This was all wonderfully, delightfully new, and Tihrokat was absolutely here for it. Just a few days ago, he and Wisp had been bumming around Rivercrest, barely scraping by, and now they were in a Weyr, and there were eggs, and it was great. He'd done his very best to absorb all the lessons and rules that had been thrown at him in the last few days, and was at least reasonably confident that he had this. He could totally touch some eggs and say hello and not think bad things or roll eggs or what have you. It all seemed simple enough, to his admittedly brand-new-to-Candidacy self.
He gave Kleoth and her rider his best and most elegant bow, smiling brightly, before turning to regard the clutch with wide eyes. There were so many eggs, and they were all so pretty! Where should he even start? Aware that he couldn't just stand around gawking, he opted for the Pink Flower Egg, because it looked just so very lovely (not that the others didn't!). Hello, he greeted cheerfully as he laid his hand on the shell, You're very pretty. Flowers are some of my favorite things.
It dawned on him, after a pause, that the egg, being an egg, had never seen itself, nor would it ever have seen flowers, so he happily offered up images of both so that it could see. Maybe it would like flowers, too?
Savindri - He/Him
Touching time! Savindri was, as always, delighted, because Touchings were an opportunity to meet new friends, and there was really no such thing as too many of those. Beaming brightly for Kleoth, he bowed to both her and her rider before setting off to touch some eggs. The small Yellow Swirl Egg, sitting near the back and partially obscured by the sand and its grey neighbor, caught his eye, and he sauntered over to meet it, resting his left hand on it. It was still strange to look down and only see four fingers there sometimes, but there wasn't much more to it than that. It was a little inconvenient for some tasks, sure, but it still didn't bother him.
Hi! he offered with gentle enthusiasm, careful to keep it toned down in case the baby within was the shyer sort. He'd been to enough of these now to know to be cautious, even if that hadn't yet translated into better awareness of others's space when it came to humans. Only baby dragons. You're really tucked away back here! I hope it's not a lonely place to be.
He supposed if it got lonely, it could always ask its mother to move it, so maybe it liked where it was. And it could always talk to the others, too...
Nyviane - She/Her
Nyviane had been very diligent about all her lessons, and had had more than enough time to absorb the rules. She was as prepared as she could be for her first Touching, and reasonably confident; while it was a new thing, and so perhaps a tiny bit intimidating regardless, she was ready for it. She took a deep breath, and when it was her turn, she bowed respectfully to Kleoth and Phryana, then set out to meet her first egg.
She stopped by the Brown Striped Egg, looking rather comfortable reclining on its side, and laid her hand on its shell, as politely as one could. Hello there, she offered, amiable without encroaching into overly familiar. You've got a nice spot here. Is it as comfortable as it looks?
An innocuous enough conversation starter, as she left her mind open to be looked into if it wanted a peek.

Bukichi didn't allow his thoughts to stray, sharp and focused as he silently listened to A'ral's instructions. He'd performed this ritual enough times to know what to do. A bow to the mother of the clutch, his eyes quickly assessing that the sire wasn't presence, and then he was on the move. His first choice of eggs was soon reevaluated with narrowed eyes, as someone he had little interest in interacting with had gotten there first. He side-stepped smoothly, never breaking stride as he let his hand gently touch the Purple Dinosaur Spots egg. Did the egg welcome the hustle and bustle of today? He wondered.

Serrekhar - He/Him
Despite his usual swagger and bluster, there was no doubt that Serrekhar was agitated. Oh sure, it was real excitin' getting to meet the eggs and all, but he was nervous, too! And then he was annoyed for being nervous, but he couldn't help it! Bantering with Josen had helped a lot, but the big man was stiff as he tried to listen to A'ral without sweating too much. Before he could even finish bowing to Kleoth, Josen was off, and had he not been so aware of the situation, he might have hollered after him. Ugh!
Trying to puff himself up, Serrekhar walked with as much confidence as he could muster before touching the small, beautifully colored Purple & Orange Dapple egg. He knew the shell or size didn't reflect what was on the inside... but he still couldn't help but think it was really cute.

Nemeryn - He/Him
Nemeryn was still at a loss when it came to just how big the eggs were, though perhaps that was foolish considering how large dragons themselves got to be. The process had been explained to them many times now, and he didn't think it would be particularly difficult so long as he kept his head on his shoulders. He bowed to the glittering queen, risking a glance for Aneirin before he silently moved towards one of the larger eggs in the back. The Dusty Rainbow egg was warm underneath his palm, and he marveled at the smoothness of the shell.
He wasn't exactly sure what to expect, now. He'd never touched an egg before... but he figured he'd wait a few moments to let the infant inside get a sense of him.
