Pale Brown and Candidate / Well-Proportioned Rosemary Green and Candidate

The Treasure in the Trinket Egg falls backwards and shatters with a sharp /crack/, releasing its bronze occupant to the Sands in a tangle of limbs and wings. To add insult to his already undignified entrance to the world, the Emotional Equilibrium Egg that he lands next to promptly implodes, its pale brown occupant sending shards every which way and all over his sibling. The bronze creels squeaky, off-key outrage and darts forward to shove at his brother, who tries to roll out of the way and ends up submitting beneath the threat of teeth and claws. All of this is observed by the quiet arrival of a petite, well-proportioned, rosemary green from The Girl in the Glass Room Egg. She slips away and soon finds her chosen one right at the edge of the Candidate group, while the bronze darts off, determined to beat his brother to the best of the group. In the end, the brown Impresses first, thanks to a Candidate who inches forward to check that he's okay, leaving the bronze still roaming.

Pale Green and Kandan / Dark Blue and Dark-haired Weyrbred Girl

Non-Conformist Egg spills out a pale looking green, moments before its neighbor, the Survivalist Egg cracks apart to reveal a dark shaded blue. The pair wanders around near the eggs for a bit before finally toddling towards the candidates. Kandan, one of the more lecherous candidates whom many expected to impress bronze, finds himself with a wide-eyed stare at the pale green hatchling, while the blue locates the dark-haired weyrbred girl to his left.

Slow Brown and Older Craftbred Boy / Small Green and Holder Girl

Tears in Rain Egg seems to have been taking its sweet time cracking, and the brown that emerges from it isn't in any great hurry, either. In the time it takes him to wind his way towards the semi-circle of candidates, the Plague Egg has hatched and impressed a small-even-for-a-green hatchling to a scared-looking Holder girl. The brown finally chooses an older craftbred boy.

Grimy Brown and Boy

Deep Within the Mountain Egg shatters down its middle, splinters of shell crumbling out from the jagged crack until a grimy brown head emerges from the hole he has made. He chirrups loud and proud, greeting the world with excited tones. Once he has the rest of the egg smashed to bits and pieces, the brown vocalizes his mixed emotions with bright, curious trills and confused mewls as he parades the line of Candidates, a happy bugle announcing to all when he finally finds his chosen boy.

Delicate-Looking Bronze and Young Man

Out of the Ashes Egg doesn't so much as wiggle even once before a delicate-looking bronze comes tumbling out one end. He gathers himself up onto his feet almost immediately, shaking vigorously to free himself of fragments of shell that cling to his lean, dainty body. Wings are hoisted high as he sashays his way out and down the line of Candidates, being sure to make a second pass just for good measure before approaching a young man from the crowd.

Knobby, Homely Blue and Tall Girl

Fluff White Egg explodes quickly into a million scattered shards by its occupant - a rather knobby, homely blue hatchling. But where he lacks beauty he appears to have brains, and centres his focus towards the far end of the line before he has hardly had time to dry his wings in the open air. A few experimental steps are taken and he's off, ambling awkwardly but with a determined pace towards a tall girl at the end of the line.

Blue Belimuth and T'van / Stout Green and Girl

Judgement Egg gets a hole at its top through which one pale, ineffectual blue foot appears flailing desperately. It takes him longer than it takes his green sister in The Eyes of Rage Egg to figure out how all this hatching business is supposed to work, and while the little blue is still shaking off his shell, the stout green is already tromping over to her girl. With his sister leading by example, the blue eventually stumbles halfway to his chosen one before tripping over his own wing. He keens piteously, and a boy emerges from the line to straighten him out and lead him off without further incident.
