The weyrling and her dragon fly carefully in. Despite Samma's gung-ho attitude and Wrath's confidence, the pair are precise and cautious when it comes to flying. They simply haven't got the experience needed to relax yet. The dark girl watches Paulth's bronze form follow them, N'tek clearly visible astride the great beast's neck. -Sharding rules. I want to go between right now,- the rider gripes harshly, her mental voice low and dangerous. Perhaps that's what he's going to teach us. "We can hope, can't we," Samma mutters in response, before spotting a clear space. "Land there." Consider it done. Gliding in to a smooth landing, the blue impacts the earth easily and hardly stumbles as he turns to wait for the Weyrlingmaster to land as well.

- ~rush in~ -- Kylay, Pojath and Kalire, 16:30:55 01/06/02 Sun
A tall girl rushes in with a green firelizard and dragon in tow.
~I'm hungry!~ the young dragon stated again.
~I know. I know Pojath. I'm sorry that I got lost on our way here. This place is just a little big.~ Kylay said in an exasparated voice.
Seeing that he had caused distress to his lifemate Pojath imediatly apologized.
~Oh don't worry. I just don't want to mess up... and I already have.~
Finally spotting a bucket of fresh meat she rushes over to. Sitting down on an empty stool she quickly starts to feed her dragon. When his appetite is finally sated she gently picks up her young green firelizard and begins to feed her.
After both are done Kylay begins to clean Pojaths green hide. Then rubbing both Pojath and Kalire's hide with oil they go to find a place to rest.

"Training should start soon," K'nar observes.
+Training!+ Caphoth whoops.
"Why don't we get there first, and beat the rush?" P'rin says enthusiastically.
+Too late for that,+ Svorath observes wryly, looking around the empty Weyr.
"Still, we might as well go," K'nar points out, then tells his puzzled brother what Svorath had said. The group troops out.

- Feeding -- Katinka and Shuth, 15:44:48 01/05/02 Sat
The girl settles her newly Impressed blue carefully, smiling as the hunger of the dragon becomes even more insistant with the smell of food.
Hungry!
"I know I know!" She hurries to the buckets, picking one that appears to have an adequate amount of meat in it. Katinka carries it the short distance to Shuth and sets it down in front of the starving dragon.
The young dragon immediately attacks the meat, and only Katinka's restraining hand keeps the dragonet from choking as he wolfs each piece down continuously. She laughs happily as she watches her lifemate, the blue's muzzle smeared with blood and stray bits.
The blue leaves the bucket, turned on its side and empty, placing his head on Katinka's knee. She runs an admiring finger over his eyeridge. "You're so beautiful." Naturally.
A surprised laugh escapes her, and she gives the blue's head an impulsive hug. He yawns sleepily, closing his eyes. Katinka's smile widens. However, as she runs a hands along Shuth's back, dry skin flakes off to float gently to the ground. She wrinkles her nose, gazing about for oil and perhaps a bath.
Catching sight of those two necessities, she gently dislodges the dragon's head to stand up.
Mm? Shuth's voice in her head still startled her a bit, though she was quickly getting used to it.
"Bath time, dear one." She urges the tired dragon to the bath, and he crawls into it, letting her scrubb his scales until they shine. The girl then urges her lifemate out, and sits him down, where he promptly tries to sleep.
"Not yet, I still need to oil you." Nodding a wobbly agreement, he rolls over to give her access to one side and then the other. She dries him with a towl and swiftly oils him, making sure that she doesn't miss any part of his body.
Done? He asks hopefully, his eyes whirling a deep green, his head already drooping.
"Done," she reassures the dragon, curling up next to him as he drifts off to sleep. But for the girl, she isn't able to find sleep that easily, excitement ruling her mind. But the day's events catch up with her, as does her dragon's exhasution. She is soon asleep.

U'pran regards the few baskets left with a critical eye, hefting two and choosing the largest for his bronze. Skatoth scarfs the first ten bits of meat down barely chewing them, only stopping to chew at the warning that he might choke. Obediently the bronze stops, eating slowly, and his color deepening from the lackluster green-tan to a beautiful dark metallic. The bronze develops a faint bulge in his abdomen, and U'pran directs him to his couch, where he promptly begins to sleep.

The brothers enter, each with a bronze firelizard on their arms and hungry dragons in tow. The dragons each devour three buckets of meat scraps before satisfied, and their riders can barely keep them awake long enough to scrub and oil them. Exhausted by their long day, the boys curl up with their dragons, and soon all six -- humans, dragons, and firelizards -- are deeply asleep.
((I should be copying them -- my excuse for a sloppy post. Today, aquire firelizards, tommorrow, socialize with the other new dragonriders. Quite a full schedule these fellows have, eh? Ignore my insane babbling, I'm going to bed. *yawn*))

Jyssa, the blue fire lizard still resting on her shoulder slowly walked in, Opimalth not far away. Magi somehow got Jyssa to her bed, where she all but collapsed. Magi hopped off of her shoulder and let out a small cheep to Opimalth, calling the green over.
{What's wrong, Jyssa?}
Opimalth asked, eyes whirling a nervous red.
"Nothing, Opimalth. Jus' a little tired."
She answered, and Opimalth, satisfied, promptly went outside to sleep in the sunlight. Jyssa tried to sleep, but for some reason she couldn't fall asleep, and so with Magi's help she went to a chair where she sat, keeping a small hope inside that maybe someone would talk to her. Magi, meanwhile, fell asleep on her shoulder, tail wrapped about her neck.

- The blue awakens before his human. -- Samma and Wrath, 19:01:00 01/03/02 Thu
Pausing for a moment, he yawns cavernously, then nudges the girl's prone form with a deep blue muzzle. Samma stirs, blinking dark eyes. "Huh?" It is time to wake. I'm hungry again. In a rush of memory, everything comes back to the ex-Harper - the flight here, Impression, Wrath, and oh yes... hunger. "Alright," she mumbles, pushing herself into a sitting position and throwing her messy hair behind her ears. Her lifemate watches with interest, before nudging her shoulder again. "I know. Let me breathe for a moment."
Disapproval is a suddenly intense feeling, though not from her loving dragon. Riders put their dragons before themselves, she reminds herself and rises quickly, snagging two buckets and setting them down before the hungry hatchling. Wrath buries his muzzle again, tipping a bucket over his chest and forelegs as he wolfs it down. "Hey, chew," his partner reprimands, and obligingly the blue grinds the meat before swallowing.
Once finished, Samma laughs. "You're a bloody mess. C'mon." She beckons and the sturdy blue climbs back up, following her to a bath. Working silently, yet enjoying the solitude, the dark-haired girl bathes her dragon thoroughly, before drying and oiling him. Wrath yawns. "Sleep again?" she inquires. No. Just wanted to yawn.
With a low chuckle, the girl surveys their surroundings. "Interesting place." There is a young queen and several others, the blue points his muzzle towards the group of five or six. "You wanna go see them?" Samma asks dubiously, half-frowning in their direction. Not really. But if you do, I will. The frown is replaced by a grin and she scritches Wrath's eyeridges. "I'm not the social type, thanks love. Feel up to exploring?" Regretfully, he shakes his wedge-shaped muzzle. "Alright. Relax, then."
Moving to a fairly clear spot, Samma seats herself on a flat, gently sloping rock, Wrath at her side and leaning heavily against her. Companionably, she drapes one arm over the hatchling's freshly oiled hide and gazes out over the Cliffs, observing.

K'nar and P'rin eye their sticky, bloody, meat-covered dragons. "I think we need to wash them," P'rin whispers to his older brother.
The young man nods. "You get the oil and the brushes. I'll get some water." While P'rin is getting the bathing tools together, K'nar hauls bucket after bucket of cold water over to where the tired hatchlings are slumped.
"Time for a bath, Caphoth!" P'rin carols, dipping a brush in the water.
+I'm sleepy. Do we have to do this now?+ the young blue complains, slowly raising himself to his feet. His clutchmate echoes the complaint to his own rider as he stands. While Svorath's color is much improved, now that he's eaten, Caphoth's still hovers at a greyish shade.
"Yes," the brothers chorus, advancing on their dragons with wet brushes. In a very short time, both dragons are clean, oiled, and curled up with their heads tucked beneath their wings.
"Whew, that was tough!" P'rin exclaims, flopping down next to his lifemate. "The dragons have the right idea. Let's sleep!"
K'nar chuckles as he sits beside his own dragon. "That's right, you weren't helping Father in the fields yet, where you? If you think bathing a dragon is hard, try plowing a field!"
P'rin tosses a pebble at his brother. "Not my fault I'm not a big, muscle-bound burdenbeast like you!" he teases, grinning.
K'nar laughs, but his half-awake dragon rumbles in protest. =It's all right, Svorath,= the young man reassures his brown. =P'rin is just teasing me.= "No, you're just a puny little weak thing that can't control a baby herdbeast!" hec shoots back, grinning.
The orange-haired youth doesn't reply, except for a soft snore. Nestled against his sleeping blue, the boy has succumbed to exhaustion. Smiling, K'nar leans against his own dragon and drifts into the same peaceful slumber.

Though the young, still-sticky bronze tried to hide his voracious hunger from his rider, still A'dor knew, and the newly-made dragonrider hurried to grab a bucket of meat from one of the caves in the cliffs. He hauled the bucket back to Kebeth, who, nodding thanks, began to eat immediately.
~Whoa, there, pal. Slow down...~
I cannot help it. I am hungry.
~Well, all right, just slow down a little.~
Noting that his lifemate was worried about him, Kebeth slowed down, but only a little. When at last his enormous appetite was sated, the bronze stretched out on the rocky ledge and was fast asleep before A'dor could say anything.
Chuckling, the new bronzerider stood and headed over to the small crowd that was gathering around the Junior Weyrwoman. "Hello," he greeted them. "Mind if I join you? I am A'dor, rider of bronze Kebeth."
Lian turned to face this other newcomer. "Nah, why should we mind?" It was becoming a routine thing, introducing everyone: "K'ten and brown Tyenth, G'ster and bronze Uberth, Henrya and green Quiyath, Khavarra and blue Qurath, and then there's me, Lian, and my dragon Veliruth.

I... I'll be fine, the little brown says at length.
T'rep was startled only for a moment before realizing he had actually Impressed, and smiled warmly at the thought. He tried not to think about what he might have become if he hadn't Impressed, and mentally stayed with the love from his lifemate, gently stroking the brown's petite head in a gesture of content and love.

She brushes a strand of red hair away. Qureth settles down on her lap when she sits. She grabs an oiled cloth and starts to polish the dragonet's scales with the same vigour that she cleaned the runnerbeast's harnesses. In about an hour her arm ached. At this point Grampa would tell her she was only half way done. She grinned as she saw him teaching Thomik to oil reins. She shakes her head, laughing. Qureth catches on to her happy mood, and his eyes shimmer a light pink. She laughs and fishes some beef jerky out of her pack. "This is my favorite. It's very good tasting." Qureth bites a small piece and minces it with sharp little teeth. He nods. This is good. Can I have some more? The girl nods and breaks off another piece.

S'dar strode in first, with Serrath near him, as he nearly had to support the green fully, she was just holding her own. Soon she was exhausted, laying on the floor. "C'mon, Serrath, I brought you some food," S'dar murmured, real care endowed in his voice. Serrath weakly managed to eat, and soon she was very less gray and very much of a lightish emerald green.
K'ten strode in, with Tyenth setting a fair pace beside him, when each twin ran into the other. "Good job Impressing She--S'dar," K'ten said, his voice quiet as he helped Tyenth to the food bowl, and helped his brown devour the meat. I am much better now, K'ten, Tyenth informed him. K'ten sighed in relief that he hadn't been a neglectful rider to his dragon.
"This here's Serrath," S'dar said proudly, gesturing towards his green, who was bugling politely now that she had her strength back to Tyenth. "She's amazing...marvelous, splendid!" S'dar cried, ending with his green in his arms.
"Mine's Tyenth," K'ten said, pointing to his brown. K'ten helped Tyenth into the tub and rinsed him off quickly, putting soapsand on the dragon's hide to clean him off. Soon, though, Tyenth wanted an oiling, and made it plain, so K'ten rubbed some oil into the brown's hide until he shown.
Serrath, too, needed a bath and an oiling, and S'dar was all too willing to comply with his beloved new lifemate's plans. First the wash to rid her of the bloodstains eating had caused, and then the oiling to make her shine. "I'm going to look around for female blueriders," S'dar said to K'ten, watching his sibling and twin blush quizzically. "What? I just thought it'd be nice to meet them," he said with complete innocence. Serrath snorted. You just want me to meet all the blues so you can meet their pretty female riders.
Right Serrath, love.
K'ten noticed that Honshu's Junior Weyrwoman was looking around for company, so he thought he and Tyenth might oblige her. "Tyenth and I'll go and talk to the Junior Weyrwoman," he said, already walking off with his faithful brown Tyenth at his side.

Obligingly G'ster fetches several buckets, knowing very well the hunger Uberth feels. Digging into his meal eagerly, the hatchling gulps and eats with the messy grace allotted to him. Resting happily, his new rider gazes about the surroundings, still thinking of his brother. As if in answer to his thoughts, he hears slightly skittery footsteps approaching.
"C'mon Gattoth, just a little bit more, I'll get you food and a bath." The blue steps weakly in, half supported by his rider. Gently, the boy reaches for a bucket of his own prechopped meat, looking over anxiously as Gattoth slumps to the floor with a morose chirrup. Guiltily, G'ster listens to the sound of his own lifemate, still eating with a gusto.
"You Impressed, good! I knew you would. This is Uberth, and that is..."
"Gattoth," comes the reply, terse and purposeful in a boy whose entire life had been plagued with indecision until now. Bending carefully beside the little blue, L'rop anxiously feeds him, watching the eyes whirl a slower, less urgent color. "Better?" He whispers as he watches the blue shake his dainty head as if to clear it and then nod.
Thank you, L'rop. I think I will be okay. A feeling of warm contentment washes over the boy as he goes to his dragon, encircling the neck with happy arms.
"Oil!" G'ster suddenly exclaims, searching for the precious commodity. L'rop, busy assisting Gattoth into a warm tub, merely smiles at his brother. The water washes away the grime of the hatching, and L'rop beckons G'ster to let Uberth into the bath. After each boy meticulously oils and bathes his drgaon, they all fall into an easy contented doze, the urgency of the Hatching being gradually slept away.

M'yent reprimands, proffering another overflowing bucket of meat chunks to the brown, who eats those as rapidly as before, managing to shred his food instead of chewing it. Once the hatchling is sated, and considerably less grey, the black-haired rider rubs oil into the brown hide as Honrath sways, exhausted completely. "Alright, move from the blood," M'yent leads his dragonet to a cleaner spot, where the pair collapse into deep sleep.*

Plopping the food down, the ex-Harper grins as her lifemate devours both buckets' contents, burping loudly after he finishes and looking up with pleading eyes. Already the grey tint was fading, she notices. I itch, very badly. "Then... well, there's gotta be oil around here somewhere. Right? Right." There is not need to talk to yourself when I'm here. The dark-haired girl laughs loudly, the tone rather deep for a female, as she snatches a bottle of oil and cloth. "Here we are," she mutters, rubbing the stuff into Wrath's navy blue hide with surprising gentleness. Aaahhhhh, the hatchling croons happily, trailing off when his rider finishes her slow movements. "Now you're shiny," she laughs, regarding her lifemate with an appreciative eye. Now I'm tired, he corrects, yawning hugely. To her surprise, Samma echoes the yawn. "Sleep?" Sleep. Mutually content, the pair move a few paces from the bloody buckets and curl up, one dark blue wing stretched over the girl's prone form, both enjoying the sunlight as they drift off.

- A new pair -- Arashi and Jesanth, 16:30:40 12/31/01 Mon
Arashi and Jesanth came to thier new home, both quite a bit in aw of it all. Arashi spied a wherry carcass set out for new riders. She reached down to her leg and produced a knife. She deftly and quickly stripped the wherries of thier internal organs and loose bones, peeling off a bit of excess fat before deciding against it. Jesanth watched her lovingly, it never once crossing her mind that other dragons riders might not know how to do this. Arashi set a bowl of the meat down in front of her, and as Jesanth tore into it, Arashi looked around for a place to wash her hands and knife, and to also find some oil for the newly hatched.

- (I figure it's my duty to let you all know about some of the differences here at Honshu) -- N'tek OOC, 12:20:58 12/31/01 Mon
(Because it's a Weyr and a Hold, some of the Dragonriders things had to be compacted.... The cliffs are basically Perches and Bowls combined. The Flat is where we train, like the Weyrling Barracks. Hatching Sands are Hatching Sands... The Great Hall is where humans eat... and everything else is a little different, just because Honshu's a rather special and unique place. perhaps spend a little time exploring to learn about your new home! ;) Congratulations and good luck, I'll see you at the Flat in a week or so when training will begin... Oh and fianally, the Weyrleader... isn't here currently... Lost Souls Board... So I, N'tek, and my Bronze Pauleth, though really just Weyrling Master and Dragon, are serving as Weyrleader until Sylventh flies again.... Oh yes! Veliruth and Lian are our Junior Weyrwoman and Queen so feel free to say hello to them as well though they are from your clutch. Ummmm..... Fianally, as the first clutch here at Honshu, you may notice it's a tad deserted.. but please stay, we're going to repopulate it together! Also, I hate to admit it, but your dragons clutch was a rather terrible tragedy... Though I searched many people, few came, and not all the dragons hatched as their weren't enough Candidates... out of 32, I believe 8 hatched. So take care of your dragons, and though there is quite an age gap between some of them, treat them equall nonetheless.)

- ~/\~ -- Henrya~Quiyath*Majorth, 10:20:48 12/31/01 Mon
Henrya wandered in. "Quiyath, I want to see the rest of the Hatching. Let's go."
But I'm hungry!
Henrya then learned the most important lesson of her life. She had learned some bad ones, but she was not to old to unlearn them, and she just had: Her dragon came first. Before her. And soon, other riders, friends, people, her weyrmate in time, would come before her.
"Oh! I'm sorry Quiyath! I think...I just learned something. Come here!" she called. Bringing out a bowl of wherries, she stared quizzically at the bodies. She, as a Lord Holder's daughter, had never butchered wherries. But Quiyath was hungry, so for Quiyath she would try.
Clumsily Henrya brought out the knife and badly butchered the wherry, handing it proudly out to Quiyath, who looked at it sideways, but ate it. Another soon followed.
"I'll oil you in a moment, Quiyath dear," she murmured.

- She walks in, cradling the gray-green dragonlet. -- Miyaz and Shaykath, 00:15:28 12/31/01 Mon
She coos to the dragon softly, and Shaykath relaxes.
I'm hungry. She whispers, and her green scales shimmer with the request.
"Sure, just a second." She reaches into her pack, and pulls out a half eaten sausage. She grimaces and breaks off a small digestable piece. "Ok, here is what I have for now. It's good. My mom made it." Mom.. She thinks saddly. She won't even recognize me. She won't want to. Her face burns.
What about your mommy? Shaykath snuggles again, having eaten the sausage. I think I shall take a nap, then eat the rest. You are were right. It was good. She closes her gray eyes and sleeps, snoring a little.
Miyaz sits back, being left with her thoughts in turmoil.

- *The green hatchling comes out onto the ledge.* -- Talia & Pekaleth, 18:17:30 11/29/01 Thu
I'm hungry, Talia. She looks back ino the cave, eyes whirling gently.
"You're always hungry." Talia called back. She came out, carrying a large bowl of meat. She had a smudge of blood near her nose and her hair hung in her face. "I think I'm getting the hang of this butchering thing."
Just feed me please. Talia set the bowl down, then pushed some hair out of her eyes. Not bothering to wait for talia, Pekaleth sticks her nose in the bowl and begins to gobble the meat greedily.
"You're impossible." Talia says with a grin. Pekaleth stops a moment to consider this, then sticks her head back in the bowl. She finishes the meat, then lies down in the sun to sleep. Talia frowns, considering, then shruggs, takes the bowl back into the cave, and returns to lay beside her dragon in the bright sunshine.*

- *The bronze lands gently upon a high ledge* -- N'tek and Paulth, 14:40:18 11/26/01 Mon
*N'tek wearily dismounts, taking off the riding gear as deftly jumps to the ground. Paulth turns a massive head to watch his rider as N'tek carefully oils every bit of his bronze's large flank. That feels a lot better. "Yes, yes I'm sure it does... we've been watching that sharding hatching for two days now. A whole turn is going to go by before all 32 eggs hatch. There aren't any candidates... and I doubt anymore girls are going to come since the gold's already hatched." N'tek grumbles, "I suppose we can go hunting now, then come back for..." You need to sleep. "Tell that to Hesvitta! She's horribly worried about Sylventh's clutch! *he sighs* Look, the new hatchlings need to be trained, it's my duty to make sure that happens." You are already serving as weyrleader. "Only until D'kin returns." If D'kin returns. "I can't help the fact that this is an extremely underpopulated weyrhold." No, but you can save yourself stress and get some sleep. "But." Sleep. "You wont let up on this will you." No. *The tall man chuckles to himself, pats the bronze on the leg and nods* "Alright. You win. I'll get some shut-eye. But wake me if anyone needs me!" As you wish. I shall be sunning. "After this we hunt, then we train. Understood?" I never mis-understood. *N'tek sighs and grins, then heads off to find a decent sleeping space.*

- - * - -- Lian ? Veliruth, 16:07:36 11/22/01 Thu
The gold hatchling was lounging on the edge of the cliff, taking advantage of the warm midafternoon sun. She watched the amorphous clouds scrambling about the firmament, reveling in the good stiff breeze. Suddenly, sensing her rider's presence, she swiveled to face Lian. So you finally decided to come visit me? It was getting extremely boring. Clouds are not very interesting, you know. Sighing at her dragon's reproachful tone, Lian joined Veliruth on the cliff's edge. ~You're not hungry, 'Ruth?~ No. you just fed me two candlemarks ago, remember? ~Oh... right. I guess I just want to make sure you're well cared for...~ I am. You are too meticulous for it to be otherwise. Lian grinned and leaned against her dragon's shoulder. ~Glad to hear it. Wonder when we can start training?~ As soon as we have a Weyrlingmaster... do we? ~Dunno. I'll go see.~ The girl stood and brushed her clothes off, then headed off to search for a dragonrider.

*She lands and waits for someone to notice her, and her message for the weyrlingmaster.
Hi, My name is Kari and I'm from Ruatha. I found out about your message and would like to try to Impress, if I'm suitable.

finally selecting a spot to land. Jazoth alights on a wide ledge, with a carved stone staircase leading down to the ground. Raia turns to her passenger. "Do you need assistence getting down?"
