Here is where the basic care of your dragon is completed. There are supplies for oiling, bathing, grooming, sleeping, and anything else but eating your dragon may require. Generally, this is where riders sleep as well, and where hurt dragons are tended.

  • ...Masculine enters the Perches, Bronze hatchling aside him...
     -- J'kaali and Kioth, 19:21:17 08/11/01 Sat
    ...Already dry the dragonet follows his rider, hoping that he would have something to stop the itching. Grabbing a bowl of oil, and a paddle the male immediatly begins to rub the oil onto the Bronze's bright hide. A glance is thrown back to a youthful femme nearby, and a slight grin is given though work is not halted.

    Karrian! Kara, come here.

    The rubbing is halted oly long enough for the rider to give the child a quick hug of welcome...

  • Z'vi and his hatchling make a quiet entrance. . . -- Z'vi ý Vith, 17:20:26 08/07/01 Tue
    A goony smile is spread across Z'vi's face. He had a lifemate! And not just any lifemate, either. Vith! Although, he supposes it would be the same with any dragon. . . You always felt yours was the best. But Vith. . . Vith WAS the best! Z'vi lets out a short chuckle as Vith affirms the thought. That's right. And I picked you for the same reasons. Sleep? Vith prodded him mentally. ~Not yet. You itch, don't you?~ Vith looks surprised. I forgot! Yes, I do. Are you going to oil me? Deciding not to answer the obvious, he grabs a bucket of oil and a rag and sets about dabbing oil onto Vith's hide. They indulge in a shared sigh of relief as the itching dies down. At last, Vith is well-oiled and extremely drowsy. Bedtime now, Z'vi he says sternly. The boy nods, stifling a yawn behind a slender hand, much like his sister Shay's. Then, with his hand atop Vith's head in the now familiar gesture, the two head for the barracks.

  • The exhausted pair stagger into the perches... -- K'shar*Zenth, 20:11:46 07/31/01 Tue
    where Zenth promptly falls asleep. K'shar picks up some oil and a scrap of cloth, and begins to rub it into the young brown's hide. Thinking over the past day, he smiles to himself. Then, finally finishing, he puts the oil away, curls up next to "his" hatchling, and falls asleep.

  • After having fed the ravenous Green petite femme leads her out onto the perches, beginning to oil the dragonet... -- Amakir/Ziamenth, 08:13:10 07/30/01 Mon
    While oil is being rubbed into the sea green hide, dragonet's mind voice echoes, lovingly, in the former Candidate's ears.
    Amakir, I have sifted through your mind becoming your partner, I know your secrets. I shall not tell others, so trust me.
    With a slight laugh, though words still are not spoken aloud femina glances towards the Green's pate.
    How could I not trust you, Ziamenth? You are me, as I am you.
    Dragonet's dial is nodded meagerly, in agreement with the mentally spoken words, as hoyden looks around for another to "converse" with, though slender hands continue swift rubbing of the Green...

  • Duo Masculine Entrants... -- <.K'rvike.>^.Jarenth.^, 11:03:51 07/22/01 Sun
    The duo emerge from the distance, strolling at a slow yet steady pace. K'rvike's eyes have clouded, a sign that he is speaking with his beloved aqua hatchling. Jarenth's oculis whirl a never ceasing hue of content and love, and as they finally reach the best spot for a bath, oiling, and sun bathing, the tall male gets to work. Clothed in comfortable pants and t-shirt, he walks into the water, Jarenth following faithfully behind. Once emerged in the liquidy substance, K'rvike begins his washing. Sweet sand is rubbed agaisnt the blue's hide, and he tenderly cleans off all the grit from the egg in which he was imprisioned in. After that they both emerge, K'rvkie almost as wet as Jarenth. Chuckling merrily K'rvike then oils his lifemate's skin, gently caressing it and making Jarenth emit a rppgh of pleasure. Grinning at the unusual noise that the youth makes, he finishes up and rubs Jarenth's eye ridges, doing this until the blue drifts off into dream land. Standing up he brushes himself off, long having dried from the tedious job of washing his blue. He glances about at the others, and hears a sleepy command from Jarenth. ^.You...are hungry...eat.^ K'rvike shakes his head <.Soon love, soon.> And with that he goes off to find friends within The Perches...

  • Runs in, once again excited beyond measuring... -- T'rence-Olanth, Nyx, Taupiz, 07:57:00 07/19/01 Thu
    Olanth trundles through the doors and instantly spots a niche he likes. Big enough for him and his lifemate. T'rence nods his approval, shooing hiim in. Upon entering, Olanth stops dead in his tracks, eyes swirling with wonder. Firelizards? "Yes, m'dear. Meet, Nyx and Taupiz," Bronze and blue 'lizard look at bronze dragonet. T'rence leaves them be and flops down on his bed, only to be nosed by Olanth. "Oil and bathe, I know, I know," ~Good human!~ Olanth was grinning the most dragonic grin, while T'rence only snorted and started to bathe the bronze. He carefully picks off the leftover shell and rubs in circles, determined for Olanth to look his best. After a few hours of bathing, the already blissful dragonet is oiled. Olanth's eyes lid over thrice in pleasure. "Doesn't it feel nice, Olanth?" ~Yes~ "I'm glad, 'cause I'm done now and maybe I can get some sleep before Nolan comes." T'rence throws the cloth away and falls onto his bed, instantly asleep. Olanth rumbles his amusement and curls up in his own bed, already almost the size of a dragonet.

  • "Time to sun yourself, m'love?" -- Aryanya^Mirth, 19:40:49 07/03/01 Tue
    Ary asks Mirth, following him up to the Perches.
    : Of course 'tis. I need my sun! How else can I dry up my hide so you can oil it? :
    : Pesky little blue, :     she mutters, inwardly laughing.
    : Am not! : he tells her, knowing once again that she doesn't mean what she's saying.
    : Are to! :
    : Agh, you're to hard to argue with, : he finishes, lying in the sun. Aryanya lies beside, head resting on his fore-leg.

  • The duo enter.... -- N'deau/Riorth, 18:56:17 06/23/01 Sat
    N'deau grabs a cloth and bucket and jumps over Riorth's tail. He grins and pats the brown's head, whose eyes whirl with alarm. They soon reverse to one of estacy as his rider rubs him down. -To the left, please, right there, right there....ahhh....- I got it? -Yes...- Good. He oils Riorth quickly and sends the hatchling off to sleep. He smiles fondly at the brown. His own lifemate. He grins and settles down by his dragon, resting but not asleep.

  • Confort -- Tris with Green Nyrath, 10:13:47 06/23/01 Sat
    Tris comes in with newly hatched Nyrath, smiling at her new companion, as Rris (flit) scampers up onto Nyrath's back. What should we start with, Nyrath? {Bath, oil, sleep.} Allright! They go over to a pool of water, all set for bathing. Tris gets the clensing sand, and scrubs it into herself and Nyrath, scrubbing hard and long. Then they both enter the water, gasping as it heats around them, and slowly they warm up, getting used to the temperature of the water. This is perfect. {Yup.} They relax for twenty minutes or so, and then they get out. Tris grabs her own clothes, changing out of the impression robe, and then gets oil. She rubs it into her hands, and then into Nyrath's gleeming hide. Nyrath wiggles in delight, and then sighs dejectedly as Tris finishes. All done, Nyrath. {I know.} So do we get to sleep now? {Oh! Sleep! I forgot.} You? Forget? I didn't know that was possible! {Of course it is. I just don't forget as much as you do.} Tris laughs, and Nyrath and her drift asleep.

  • The two enter. . . -- Shayndel and Lyranth, 22:25:36 06/21/01 Thu
    First, bathing. Then oiling, then after that, sleep. Shay grins slightly. Lyranth could be quite imperative when she wanted to. Shay slips into the cool water after her dragon, thankful for it after all that waiting on the hot hatching sands. She floats for a minute in pure bliss, then paddles over to Lyranth. She snatches a handful of sweetsand and dips it in the water, reaching over to scrub the golden hide vigorously with it. So vigorously, in fact, that Lyranth nips her slightly. {Not so hard! Please. . .} Shay's eyes widen with alarm. She quickly discards the sweetsand and rises from the pool, clothes sopping wet. Withoug waiting for her garments to dry, Shay helps her queen from the pool and leads her to a spot on the floor. The girl snags a bucket of oil and a rag. Lyranth had been quietly insistent about the fact that she itched, and Shay was anxious to be sure her hatchling was well cared for. She hurriedly spreads the oil over every inch of Lyranth, sharing the dragonet's sigh of relief as the itching dies down. {That's better,} she informs her Impressed. Now, let's sleep.} Shay nods, seeing the sense in this. Shards, but every bone in her body ached, plus the fact that she'd traveled all last night to get to the sands on time. She sighs as she sinks down beside Lyranth, couching her head against the gold's soft hide. Out of the corner of a sleepy eye, she sees Nico—N'colai, she sternly reminds herself—slip off to the Tables. Realizing she hadn't eaten since breakfast, she stands quietly so as not to waken her slumbering lifemate. Shay strides to the table, hoping to see a friend or two there. . .

  • . . . -- N'colai - Tyrenth, 15:52:34 06/20/01 Wed
    N'coali rushes in after the giddy bronze, Tyrenth. I win! Time to rest. He inquires hopefully. ~Aye, but you're forgetting something.~ N'colai chuckles.Eat, then sleep. Not forgetting. "Rah!" Tyrenth grunts as he slips into the water, emitting a gentle wave. Oh, that. After bathing the witty lizard, the newly-energized boy begins to oil down his new companion's sleek body. Almost purring with pleasure, Tyrenth stretches out his whole body, including his wings, then falling asleep. N'colai pats the bronze on the head in assurence, and heads to the tables himself to join the trio already gathered there.

  • Entrees... -- G'henna and Sharenth, Sh'ol-Maekeith, and Deon*Cianth, 14:59:21 06/20/01 Wed
    First G'henna and Sharenth enter, G'henna being shoved around by the pushy bronze. Grinning devilishly he playfully shoves Sharenth into the lake. Sharenth emits an annoyed grumble, but allows G'henna to cleanse him, rather enjoying this. After they get out, Sharenth nudges him again. 'Sleep!' G'henna shakes his head 'Not yet my love.' He tells him, and begins to oil his beauty's body. Creeling in pleasure Sharenth falls asleep right there, and G'henna laughs, heading towards The Tables, hoping to find company there.

    Sh'ol and Maekeith are next to enter, Maekeith sticking close to Sh'ol, and tenderly nudging at his lifemate every now and then. Sh'ol is grinning stupidly, and as both he and Maekeith emerge themselves in the lake's water, he watches G'henna retreat. Smirking lightly he begins to bathe Maekeith, and after that has been finished, he and Maekeith then clamber out, both soaking wet. Sh'ol then oils the beast, Maekeith crooning in pleasure, and then falling asleep, preparing to sleep off his meal..Sh'ol heads after G'henna towards the tables, the reasons the same.

    Deon and Cianth enter next, Deon gently humming a tune, while Cianth cannot stop gazing at her lifemate with a hue that whirls with love. Smiling slightly at the green, she brings her towards the water, and as they both emerge into the liquid, Cianth creels in pleasure, the cool water feeling nice upon her rather hot figure. Deon then bathes the beauty, and after that, they 'disemerge' from the water, and Deon gently oils Cianth. Cianth stays awake until Deon has finished, and then finally gives into sleep. Smiles slightly and gently lays a kiss upon Cianth's eyeridges, before standing up, she too heading towards The Table, but for food, and also conversation.

  • *Enters* -- Hattori, 09:51:13 06/20/01 Wed
    *She walks in, picking up a few supplies on the way to her dragon. Mylenth lays down and stares up at her rider expectantly. Hattori grins and kneels by the green. She goes through the process of oiling and grooming before putting the supplies back. When she returns to Mylenth, the green is sound asleep. Not a bad idea, but...time to explore.*
