Who: D'kai, Jakkal, Javeri, Niala, Sunniva What: It's the first egg touching for Lieryth and Mikhuth's first clutch! Where: Hatching Galleries, Ista Weyr When: It is a winter afternoon, 16:07 of day 17, month 1, turn 18 of Interval 10. This warm winter afternoon finds D'kai lounging about in the galleries, chin propped on knuckles as the bronze rider leans against the long railing coiled around...

WHO: Balinne, Javeri, Sunniva WHERE: Corrals, Ista Weyr WHEN: Day 17, month 1, turn 18 of Interval 10 (October 27th, 2008) SYNOPSIS: Two candidates and a coordinator meet outside the corral ... no, it's not the start of a bad joke. Sunni and Javeri chat about eggs and then Balinne gets involved. Talk of eggs and influencing them turns into a discussion of pants (skirts win!) hunting, fish, family,...

WHO: D'kai, Jakkal, Javeri, Lieryth, Mikhuth, Niala, Sunniva WHERE: Hatching Sands, Ista Weyr WHEN: Day 17, month 1, turn 18 of Interval 10 (October 27th, 2008) SYNOPSIS: Time for the first egg touching of the clutch! Sunniva is quietly frustrated at her inability to pick a favourite, where the others all seem to at least have some idea of which on they like. Upside: Mikhuth isn't roaring at them!...

WHO: D'kai, Sunniva WHERE: Living Cavern, High Reaches Weyr WHEN: Unknown (October 11th) SYNOPSIS: Sunni's all polite smiles and pleasantries after the hatching, but the dam cracks when D'kai shows up. NOTES: Play-by-email style! Also, normally I'd slot this where it goes, but it's been a while, so it'd be buried (much like the other log!) This falls immediately after the hatching, during the after...

WHO: E'dre, Sunniva, Wroth WHERE: Lake Shore, High Reaches Weyr WHEN: Unknown (October 14th) SYNOPSIS: Sunniva apologizes to Wroth and E'dre pitches in his 1/32nd of a mark. The former candidate is still optimistically unsure of her future. NOTES: Play-by-email style! Also, normally I'd slot this where it goes, but it's been a while, so it'd be buried. It's a few days after the hatching and a few days...

(OOC: Letters to - Berit, C'mryn, E'dre, Eila, Fiorella, Hali, K'del, L'rell, L'vae, Milani, P'ax) Pen to paper placed; Thoughts to words transcribed. Sister to sister meant. Paper folded, sealed,... you were never 'round And everytime I lost myself, you were nowhere to be found. I lived inside an innocence, but innocence was born to die. Inside the soul of everyone who's lost their faith in life.

Who: Sunniva, Niala, Ananta, D'kai What: For practicing an hour of separation from Mikhuth, Deke heads down to the bathing pools where he chats with Sunni and Niala about everything from the 'Reaches newest clutch to mucking stables! Where: Bathing Pools, Ista Weyr D'kai's voice - or, more accurately, his muttering - precedes him down the winding corridor leading into the bathing pools; a one-sided...

Where: Hatching Ledges, Ista Weyr Who: Fadra, Sunniva, T'mic What: Fadra seeks solitude on the hatching ledges, which is promptly interrupted by Sunniva and T'mic; conversation ensues, mostly about change...which Fadra seems stubbornly opposed to. Hatching Ledges, Ista Weyr A variety of ledges encircle the black hatching sands, giving a wider range of viewpoints than the galleries themselves...

...of self-control. Now, the question is whether it was simply a matter of convenience and circumstance, something more meaningful, or an indulgent frivolity to explore further. And, for once, Sunniva couldn't tell if it was her ... or that more savvy aspect of herself that spoke. Would it really be so dreadful if it were such an indulgence? And, for once, the answer did not surprise her...
