[Creatures of Nature - 5th Period, 8/06]

[whathasbeenlost.livejournal.com]

When the class had filed into the room, D had several tables, each laid out with an egg, each one in a box and swaddled in a blanket for warmth. The room itself, in fact, was overly warm as well, though it didn't seem to bother D any.

"Today we will be looking at dragons," he said. "Or, more correctly, we will be looking at several types of creature which are likely to be called 'dragon', though the name may not be wholly correct in each instance.

"For this exercise, you will split into groups, each with an egg, and then deduce which type of 'dragon' comes out of it." D gestured to where each table had a stack of books on it. "Those will help you to figure it out, as long as you look carefully. Please be very gentle, but know that dragons, even small ones, can bite."

[OOC: Split up into groups of three, if you please. The egg will begin to hatch as soon as someone touches them and each comment will give a clue as to what type it is. OCD is coming up.

ETA: Commuting home now, will respond to tags ASAP upon getting home. HOME NOW.]

Table 5

This egg is a golden color with tones of red and is a perfect egg-shape.

Isabel studied the egg carefully.

Troy grinned as he looked down at the egg. "This is so cool," he said. "Oh. Uh. D'you mind if we work together?"

"Hey Troy," Isabel smiled. "No, not at all."

Re: Table 5

Troy nodded. "Cool," he said, leaning over the egg and poking at it. "So. Dragons. That's pretty cool!" He paused. "I wonder if we can get one for the show..."

"Show? The one radio mentioned?" she asked. "What's it about?"

Re: Table 5

"Did the radio mention it? I haven't had much time to listen," Troy said. "But yeah, it's about this whole thing with this prince guy going off to war and leaving the love of his life, and then he dies, and the guy who killed him who's this other prince comes along and conquers the kingdom, and is all, 'I shall force you to marry me!' at the girl, who is all, 'Woe!' And then her prince comes back from the dead, and kills the conqueror guy, and they live happily ever after."

He poked again at the egg. "I wonder what kind of dragon's gonna come out?"

Isabel was proud of herself for not facepalming or headdesking given her own almost forced marriage to Kivar. "Happily ever after is good."

"I don't know. But I'd watch your fingers."

Re: Table 5

Troy nodded. "Good advice!" He grinned. "I guess now we wait?"

Re: Table 5

The egg shivered and wobbled slightly at being touched, the golden color of the egg seeming to glow a little.

Re: Table 5

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

She was tempted to touch it, but pulled her hand back. It was a dragon after all. "Looks like it'll be a short wait."

Re: Table 5

[oncourtandstage.livejournal.com]

Troy was enraptured by the moving egg. "It's glowing!" he said. "Look! A little bit, anyway."

Re: Table 5

The egg twitched and spun in place slightly, glowing a little more brightly as something inside it twitched and pushed at the shell, breaking it in pieces, but not yet shattering it.
