11 V'lano Fri Dec 15 19:54 2006 The basket of yarn
Word has it that the weyrleader has been recently spotted carrying around a basket of yarn - first in the gardens, later in the living cavern at the supper hour; on another day he was carrying the thing through the bowl on his way, ostensibly, to check out storage rooms off the weyrling barracks. Despite repeated rumors over the turns regarding his drinking choices at the Sandbar, few would be the souls who would accuse the man of having a knitting habit, so the reasons he's carrying the basket around have varied with each telling of the tale. But after a day in which the yarn was left unattended for a couple of hours by a hearth in the kitchens, a more reliable story's come out - there are firelizard eggs in there with the balls and skeins of yarn, and often as not a cheeky and clumsy little gold brooding around them.
The eggs will hatch at some point in the near future. In the meantime have a look here and there - you never know where Vel might leave that basket so he can sneak away for a few minutes' peace!

working9 Griere Tue Dec 12 12:37 2006 Gold in Flight, One Crazy Night
In the dead of night, Aerianth blooded her feast and only Volath was witness. By the time the other dragons of the Weyr woke to realize what was going on, Aerianth was taking to the sky, leaving a number of confused riders standing in their pjs staring out into the night after their lifemates' hasty departures.
To make the turn of events even more unusual, neither Griere nor V'lano were anywhere to be found! A brave soul reported that they were not in their weyr even though a handful of people had seen them leave the Sandbar, supposedly heading home. The chasers' lifemates waited with added anxiety to think that their dragon could win with the weyrwoman herself absent.
The flight concluded with Volath as victor and the two dragons were later seen returning to their weyr with their riders astride. By the following morning, rumors were running wild in the caverns. Had V'lano secreted the weyrwoman away in an effort to secure his position? Was this Griere's way of refusing any other partner? Do either have any explanation of their whereabouts? While it seems a sheepish V'lano might be available for questions, Griere is, as always, to be approached at your own risk.
On an OOC note... Write some eggies! The theme this time around is "On the Stage". What does this mean? Anything that has to do with theater can be turned into an egg description. Spotlights, audience faces, chorus lines, make-up... You name it! We're looking for descriptions of 4-6 lines by December 27th. Please include your inspiration when you send them to Griere and V'lano. We can't wait to see what you come up with! :D

This is Niklo's history, as written for my residency application at Ista Weyr:
Losanda, Niklo's mother, was a goldrider at Fort Weyr. Her first child, Mhalar, was the result of a mating flight, though her real love was a man named Nikolo, a dragonhealer. For a long time she had nothing to do with him, far too dedicated to the weyr, her dragon, and her son. But after many years her son was Searched and became a rider himself, and she found her resistance weakening. She gave in to her love of Nikolo, but the result of this was a second pregnancy - one her body couldn't handle. Twins at any age presented problems, but she was past her prime and it took its toll. During the birth she had a son and a daughter, but only one survived. The living child she named Niklo, after its father, and passed away before she could learn that it was her daughter that lived.
Stricken with grief and wanting nothing to do with a daughter to remind him of what he had lost, Nikolo poisoned himself to be with Losanda and their son. Niklo's half-brother and his father saw the girl as a bother, but cared for her until she was ten turns of age. Then, finally tired of her, Mhalar, by then Mh'lar, took her to Ista Weyr and put her in the care of their mother's uncle.
Niklo is an eager, intelligent girl, who's used to working hard and getting little to no thanks for it. That's her life and she's fine with it. She tends to be a bit unsure of herselt at times, due to the way she's been treated in the past, and she's wary about becoming too attatched to people after being uprooted from her home at Fort. All the same, she adjusts quickly and makes the best of the situation, settling right in and getting what needs to be done... well, done. When it comes to parents she's not really upset by the lack of hers - she never knew them, so why should she miss them? All in all, she's a good little girl, domestic as they come, molded to be that way by everything around her. Inside there's something wild, something spirited, but until she comes into herself that bit is locked away.
At the moment Niklo is ten turns, though in another month or two she will be eleven, as she's so fond of telling people.
ETA: While this is the original history, it has needed to be corrected due to conflicts with High Reaches being a PC weyr. For this reason Niklo's background takes place, instead, at Southern Weyr. All else is the same.
