Weyrbred Girl and Pale Green with Crooked Wings

The candidates have barely made it to the sands before the increasingly frenzied undulations of the Crack the Code Egg send the thus-far more subdued X Marks The Egg rolling. With the momentum that follows, an awkward crash sends a petite, pale-hued green onto the sands... a green whose wings sit oddly: crooked and malformed. Though she teeters to her feet, the candidates nearest begin to back away. For one of the few weyrbred candidates, however, there is no escape: the green careens forward, sidesteps into her, and Impression is made.

Greenfields* M'ron (Lomaren) and brown Hiyudath

There are a number of wary eyes on the Crack The Code Egg as it shudders and twists, but when it does finally break into pieces, the brown left in its wake seems normal enough. He struggles into motion, angling almost immediately towards his chosen Candidate. The pair exit the sands together - all, apparently, is well.

Greenfields* Simaron and Oceanic Green Sivanth

After the hatching of the relatively unattractive gargoyle blue, the clean, dappled oceanic greens of the hatchling that emerges from the Memories Upon Paper Egg is, perhaps, a relief. She shakes loose a few pieces of shell, and then totters off in the direction of a handful of girls from High Reaches Hold. When none of them are suitable, she backtracks, ending up in front of a distinctly surprised looking Simaron, who nonetheless reaches out to hold her close.

I'zech and bronze Rojeth (Became PC)

There's a low murmur of surprise as a /second/ bronze hatches, emerging from the remains of the DaVinci's Dinner Napkin Egg without any particular theatrics. Despite examining a handful of potential choices along the way, it doesn't take him too long to find the right one: boy and bronze leave the sands, all excitement.

?? and green, Greenfields* Kaitlin and brown Jormunth

The Hallowed Illuminations and Apple Pie From Scratch eggs seem to hatch at almost the same moment - a distraction, for some from the Impression of the bright-hued blue. The green and brown cross paths only briefly, before heading in opposite directions of the sands. The green Impresses easily enough, but the brown seems to about to lock eyes with a swarthy lad from the tannercraft when he seems to trip and fall, leaving pretty Kaitlin standing where he once was, meeting gazes with the brown with steely determination.

Former crafter and ice blue

Almost immediately after the spectacularly lurid blue emerges onto the sands, another blue joins him: this one as pale is ice, remarkably fragile looking. He's hale and hearty, though - yet another healthy hatchling! - and takes no time at all to find himself a partner from amidst a large group of former crafters.

Former baker and malachite green

The tanner boy, the one who tripped, is back on his feet again by the time the next hatchling wanders in his direction. He gives the malachite green from the Gleaming and Glittering Egg a hopeful glance, but she passes him by, choosing, instead, a former baker, who squeals with excitement as she reaches out to touch her lifemate.

Fallen candidate and blue

Controversy abounds as the blue from the Delicate Snare Egg reaches a cluster of candidates and seems just about to pick one, when that candidate goes flying. There's a squeal of protest, and Ronsen looks triumphant- only to look deflated again a moment later, when the blue scuttles after the fallen candidate, leaning down to nudge at him with enthusiasm. Up! Look up!

?? Candidate and dainty, dark green With the blue and bronze Impressed at last, there's just one egg left remaining: the Antique Treasures Egg, which still wobbles back and forth, apparently in no rush at all. When it /does/ hatch, it's all of a sudden: BAM. Left behind is a dainty green in a dark, dark shade, a green who rushes forward, all in a flutter, apparently choosing the first candidate she sees. Silence follows, the few remaining candidates glancing around, some in hopeful desperation, but there are no eggs left, no hatchlings left unimpressed.
