Weyrlings/Month5 Duties Leadership Recap Rules

Month 4 - Month 5

Group Roleplay

• Relay races to the spires and back.
• Overnight trip to Tillek, flying straight there and back.
• Day trips outside the Weyr.

Vignette Options

• Write a vignette in which your character faces the thought of some riding-related fear: flying, flights, flaming, between, etc.
• Write a vignette about something the rider or dragon is struggling with: interpersonal relationships, relationship with each other, academics, practicals, ethics, etc.
• Write a vignette about the rider or dragon's view on one of the weyrlingmasters or their dragon.
• Write a vignette that translates your character into a more 'real life' version in this real world. (Note: Not a Pern character lost on Earth, but an Earth version of your character, what kind of occupation would he have, what kind of personality, how is the character still uniquely your character but different cause of the social atmosphere he lives in?)
• Write a vignette about burgeoning love and how your dragon feels about it.
• Write a vignette regarding one of the off-camera lectures listed below.

Off-Camera Lectures

• Weyrlingmaster: First mounted flight.
• Weyrlingmaster: Aerial drills.

Individual Roleplay Ideas

• Make a list of items to put in your fantasy weyr and go through the storerooms to decide what you might be able to take.
• Complete your first step of straps and take them in for inspection.
• Test out your straps on your dragon and let them get used to the straps while they are flying solo.
• Study for ground drills and how they translate to air.

Mentor Roleplay Ideas

• Fly with your mentee up to the Star Stones or to somewhere near the Weyr.
• Have your dragons go flying together around the bowl.
• Attend a lesson with your weyrling: Actually /go/ to one of the weyrling lessons!
• Tell your mentee about your first weyr, and how awful-uh, wonderful it was.
