Hello loves! While I haven't been writing, I have been working on updating some issues that have been hanging around on the layout! The Character change box is now at the bottom of the page, beside the up/down arrows! Green and Gold dragon flight dates have been shifted to the bottom of the page, where the (useless!) discord widget was located. Where the dragon flights were in the header, is now replaced by a Monthly Event box! This will be updated at the start of each month, with a fun mini-event you can take part in, if you want to! Thistle!

L’tai danced on the spot with almost as much enthusiasm as Tiatiath was, the pair having made all prior arrangements in order for the always anticipated Touching to be held that day! With so many candidates having been flown in, the class had had to be split into three groups of twenty-ish each, which L’tai was pleased with: the clutch of twenty nine meant there should be very little squabbling over who got to touch what egg, as there would always be at some nine unoccupied at any given time. This was the final group, and L’tai was still having the time of his life! It helped that there hadn't been any incidents!
Clapping his hands, half in excitement and half in order to obtain the attention of the youngsters preparing to march onto the sands, L’tai grinned at them all. There was a healthy dose of Weyrbred in amongst them, but a huge chunk had come from Northern regions and their faces were a beautiful array of delight through to sheer terror. He could hear Tiatiath giggling in the back of his mind as everyone went silent.
“Hopefully, you all paid attention yesterday when everything was explained to you, however, for the sake of clarity, I’m going to re-explain it to you! First and foremost – BE POLITE.” Those two words were ground out, and a finger was wagged in the face of the group. “To each other, to me, to the dragons and most especially to the eggs! You do not want to cause any harm to any of them and anyone caught fooling around will be permanently removed from Candidacy. Forever. Bye bye hypothetical dragon.” L’tai followed that up with meeting as many eyes as he could, glaring uncharacteristically at them all to enforce the severity of any misbehaviour.
“You can spend time with as few or as many of the eggies as you like, so long as you take the time to Touch at least one of them! It’s important for you to be familiar with them, before they crack and grow legs and teeth!” Tiatiath followed that up by tilting her head (eyes coloured playfully) and snapping her jaws together with loud clacks and the soft rumble of laughter. L’tai patted her nose when she lowered it, grinning at the dragon, then at the gathered class.
Removing his hand from his dragon’s nose, L’tai threw his arms wide and beamed at the group. “Now! Go forth my young future riders, and Touch to your heart’s content!” He wriggled his eyebrows suggestively as he spoke, and was quite pleased when it elected some few soft chuckles.
We are going to shake things up a little compared to the last few Touchings. As you know, each of our dragonets come with a Key Word. This time around, we’ve made their keyword more obvious.
What we are doing this time, is that each of you can interoperate that keyword however you wish for your character’s Touching. So, let us say your chosen egg has the keyword ‘Rainbow’. You might wish to make it a happy-sparkle dragonet for your character, or perhaps your character receives a whole kaleidoscope of emotions. It is entirely up to you how the character and dragonet within the egg interact, so long as it in some manner relates to the Key Word.
Why we are trying this way, is that the Touching is supposed to be vastly different for each character; this manner means you won’t have to wait on an Admin to post a response, but also you can push the responses in a direction you feel might be most interesting for your character.
Have fun!
