The eggs had been gathered on a hearth in the kitchen, soaking in the warmth as they hardened. None had been singled out and given -or claimed- by any rider; Theo, in some burst of creativity, had decided that these eggs would have a more 'natural' hatching, and thus when they hatched, they hatched, and anyone could Impress them.
Now they were on the verge of bursting, and the eggs had been carried out on a tray to the main foyer and almost cafeteria-like area of the lower caverns. The silvery tray, tarnished from years of use, was wide enough to cover an entire table- and in so large enough for anyone who wanted to to crowd around to tempt a flit. A drudge laid out bowls of meat spaced equally around the rim, just as the eggs themselves were carefully arranged such for fairness.
Eavan, the Headman overseeing the changes, nodded in satisfaction. An egg quivered -as he had expected- and now it was time.
((RULES:
There are 25 eggs, and roughly ten active members. Therefore, you may choose two or three total eggs for your chars. Tell me which char wants which egg.
Please keep in mind how many flits you already own. Some people have brought in none with their chars- these are the people who should claim three. As for those who do have a few already -like four- go for two. If everyone has had a chance to claim and there are some left over, then those can be taken by those who would like more than two.
Other than this, it is first come, first serve. All of the eggs already have a corresponding flit inside- I did not decide what you get. It's random. However, I do reserve the right to change what flit you will receive by switching it in another egg If you already have a Queen and claim one, or you claim both of the Queens in this hatching. Or all the Kings. You get the idea. ^^
No two eggs contain the same color, so there are no duplicates, which makes it rather fun. I tried to make this a rather more interesting hatching with descriptions, and pretty sounding names. I was inspired by Tiddler, but it isn't at all as magnificent as her descriptions.
Plus, I need someone to claim THREE eggs for me.
Egg 1; Ivory Moon Egg
Claimed By: Illyra
Hatched: Stone Phantasm
This egg is a soft, pure ivory color, with very subtle shadings of creams and tans hinted on its shell. Soft green speckles would be barely noticeable on any other colour, but make a stark contrast to on the ivory. Despite the coloration, it does, oddly, seem more 'masculine' and is expected to contain a male flitter.
Egg 2; Blazing Fire Egg
Claimed By: Sonya
Hatched: Autumn Kineta
If magic was on Pern, and known, it could be compared to a ball of fire held in a mage's hand. It's surprisingly cool to the touch- for the appearance, it seems to be sweltering and full of heat. Golds, reds, and oranges twirl together in a chaotic whirlwind, seeming in motion as the circle the egg.
Egg 3; Crown Jewels Egg
Claimed By: Illyra
Hatched: Gem Mirage
This beautiful metallic golden egg could contain a Gold Queen, for all that's known. It's not a pure gold- rich greens, blues, reds, and blinding whites stud it like jewels, such as sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and diamonds. It seems to have an aura of ambition and power around it.
Egg 4; Chaos Comes Softly Egg
Claimed By: L'dros
Hatched: Storm Damascus
Chaotic hues of white and gray and black mash up against each other on this egg, yet, for some odd reason it seems soft, like a newborn feline's fur. This egg is more oblong for eggs: so a bit disproportionate.
Egg 5; Independence Egg
Claimed By: G'lin
Hatched: Male Red ?
A thick band of red stand on the 'top' of this egg, and then a thin badn of pure white separates this from a bright blue. These bands are otherwise unmarred, but for a vertical golden band that goes all the way around the egg. It's rather ordinary, unlike some others...one does not get a certain feeling from it at all.
Egg 6; Forest Floor Egg
Claimed By: Luciana
Hatched: Brown ?
Patched in earthen tones, this egg is almost humbling in appearance, and definitely....down to earth. It could easily camouflage itself in any green or brown setting, but stands out on the tray.
Egg 7; Pastel Cookie Egg
Claimed By: Kindre
Hatched: Spring ?
Think of a cookie, with delicate pink frosting- this egg mirrors it, being a delectable tan with a sheen of pink glazed over. It would do Theo proud.
Egg 8; Bloodlust Egg
Claimed By: Pandra
Hatched: Green Drran
Passion. Rage. Lust. Revenge. THe egg seems to pulse with these strong, and not necessarily good, emotions. As scarlet as blood and much more brilliant, it's almost frightening what may lie within...
Egg 9; Evergreen Calm Egg
Claimed By: Z'them
Hatched: Amber Neitha
Unlike the former egg, this one emits a soothing calm. It's dark green, with breaks of sky blue that represent the sky. It's not extremely beautiful, nor quite ordinary, but the eye tends to skip over it.
Egg 10; Checkerboard Egg
Claimed By: L'dros
Hatched: Female Yellow Vanural
More accurately, a chessboard egg, but who cares of such specifics? Black and white checked, nothing else much.
Egg 11; Toadstool Egg
Claimed By: Illyra
Hatched: Bloodrose Illusion
Think of poisonous toadstools (or nonpoisonous) in fairy-tale pictures, and you have this egg. It's a rather cheerful, bright scarlet, with spots of cream-white. There's no fairy sitting on it though...
Egg 12; Cold Soul Egg
Claimed By: Fia
Hatched: Female Silver ?
It seems closed off and defensive. Off-white and cold, steel gray in coloring, it's not to be trifled with.
Egg 13; Black Pearl Egg
Claimed By: Raiden
Hatched: Black Thunder
This egg is rather unusual. Nearly spherical in shape, and small in size, it is the backwards, opposite image of a standard white pearl. Darker then the standard 'black pearls' from the ocean floor, which often are more of a soft gray, the pitch shell gently reflects faint, dark glimmers of rainbow.
Egg 14; Sunlight Egg
Claimed By: Fia
Hatched: Forest ?
It's a pure golden yellow egg, with flecks of umber. Nothing more.
Egg 15; Gullohboy Egg
Claimed By: C'rin
Hatched: Mist ?
It's a rather gay shade of blue. Not gay as in happy, either. Fortunately there aren't any gay flits or dragons known...yet. -evil cackles- No, really...
Egg 16; Lovely Lady Egg
Claimed By: Jilath
Hatched: Darkness Squishy
A very feminine shade of pink, this is a stand out egg. It's marvelously colored, and sure to attract the notice of someone...
Egg 17; Brink of Insanity Egg
Claimed By: Raiden
Hatched: Violet Lightning
It should have been named chaos. Every color imaginable seems to have crowded onto the shell of this evil little egg, making it an eyesore. Looking at it too long might drive one completely and utterly mad.
Egg 18; Frosted Breath Egg
Claimed By: Theo
Hatched: Female Hart Nanny
The base for this egg seems to be a near black indigo, although over this is an extremely dense layer from which the egg gets its name. This layer is translucent, like the marks on a cool glass window left by one's breath.
Egg 19; Amber Egg
Claimed By: L'teral
Hatched: Winter Spirit
Note: does not contain Amber.
It's a pure, bright orange egg which makes one touching it feel tremendously happy, for some reason or another.
Egg 20; Ice Maiden Egg
Claimed By: Pandra
Hatched: Frost Gluttony
Chills seem to emanate from the shell of this egg, which is very much the opposite of the Blazing Fire Egg. Simple yet elegant in a swirled silver-blue, cyan, and white, it has a certain way of drawing ones eyes to it, although it is modest on the silvery tray.
Egg 21; Royal Prince Egg
Claimed By: L'dros
Hatched: Male Silver Frood
Honest in a royal purple, this egg, like the Amber one, is pure and unmarked. It has no emotion coming from it....
Egg 22; Verdant Life Egg
Claimed By: B'aral
Hatched: Summer Shiny
Streaked in neon green and leafy green, it throbs with life and eagerness.
Egg 23; Angst and Bad Music Egg
Claimed By: Kindre
Hatched: Spector ?
It's emo. Seriously. The egg is black, with red slashes, 'clear' speckles, and gray splotches. So it's cutting itself, crying, and can't see past the gray clouds to silver lining. How much more obvious can it get? If the Pastel Cookie Egg was Theo, this is C'rin. Let's poke it.
Egg 24; Peachy Keen Egg
Claimed By: Pandra
Hatched: Female Coral Oceane
Peach colored with barely discernible speckles of bright, light blue, it's a treasure to look at.
Egg 25; River Rushing Egg
Claimed By: J'din
Hatched: Female Stream Bothergettheshardsawayfromme
Strong and coloured like a fierce flowing river, it could be almost scary to behold, a whirl of blues and greens and blacks and whites....
