It would seem there has been a case of the end of the term doldrums among the students. This is detrimental to your learning, yet I understand how tiring regular assignments are getting.

Thus, a few lucky students will be receiving a dragon egg to hatch in pairs as a sort of project on cooperation and care.

I am sorry to say that real dragons will not be hatching out of the eggs, they are mere toys. Regardless, good luck to you all and take care of your eggs!

[ooc: Dragon eggs are a go! React here or elsewhere as you will and have fun!]

THIS IS GOING TO MAKE FOR AN INTERESTING END OF TERM.

Indeed, I hope many of the students come away from this with valuable lessons.

I will have to ask that you aide the students in this as well, Salvador, should they happen to need it.

I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO, SIR.

[WHY IS THERE AN EGG IN FRONT OF HER SHE DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS.

Carefully lifts it up and turns it over to inspect it.]

[There's a note getting tossed your way, Vriska.]

They put me with Karkat. I wouldn't be surprised if this dragon came out dropping flaming F-bombs.

[She blinks at the note, but scribbles one back to her.]

Curse his mouth shut then.

Do you know a Veser?

He's an older kid in my house. Grouchy-looking, bright green eyes

sharp teeth

I can't really explain that part. I don't talk to him much, reminds me too much of the other sharp-toothed idiot in my life

M8y8e his teeth were filed down when he was young?

Or may8e there is more than magic in his blood.

GREAT. STUCK WITH MAKA. THIS SHOULD BE BRILLIANT.

I should hope so, Mr. Vantas. I believe you and Maka have valuable things to teach each other about compassion.

Elphaba is too much to pronounce, so I'm going to call her Ellie.

...that's acceptable I suppose.
I've already came up with a list of things we could do to take care of the egg and make sure that it hatches properly.

Do we know which species we'll be hatching or are we meant to identify the species based on the egg's characteristics? Because that would affect the types of environmental factors we'd have to recreate.

And who's Graham Specter?

There is a very quick, very efficient, and above all else very, very satisfying way of solving that problem! And what a beautiful solution it is!

And oh what a shame, what a shame! I'm crying inside, really! It seems my reputation doesn't precede me nearly enough!! Agh, just the thought of it wounds me.

NO, this will not do! I assert my identity in the face of such a looming existential crisis! I'm Graham Specter, and I assume this means you're Shinra Kishitani, if this dragon hand-out is to be trusted?

I am! And It's nice to meet you!

You already have a solution? What is it? I assumed that each species of dragon would have eggs with different physical characteristics, but I could be wrong. Have you worked with dragons before? I haven't, but I have dissected a common lizard, so I have a decent understanding of reptile anatomy!

And do you really have a reputation? What did you do?

The most expedient and pleasing solution, of course, is to smash the shell right now! Shatter it into pieces! And then shatter THOSE pieces! On and on in an ever-smashing spiral, the breaking going finer and finer until - AT LAST! - it reaches the atomic level! Tell me, what kind of wonderful cracking can we expect from this type of shell?

Ahhh, just the thought of it makes me remember the satisfying crunch of Bludgers shattering the competition's bones. That's one aspect of my reputation, the fact that in my Captaincy I've kept the medical wing busy! Keep them in practice, preventing stagnation in our fair school! Oh yeah, and there's the fact that I'm part of the Russo family. That too.

What? We can't smash it now! It's not nearly ready to hatch! And I'm sure that if we studied the shell's colour and density, we'll at least have a general idea of the dragon's species, so smashing it wouldn't really be necessary... Although it would be amazing if we could break it down to the atomic level through repeated blunt force trauma. Do you really think that's possible? Maybe we could find out after the egg hatches!

Were you were behind all the quidditch injuries this year? I do know who you are! At least I do in a sense! You've been responsible for some of the most fascinating re-constructive procedures I've ever seen!

This is going to be awesome! I guess I'd better check out some books on dragons and baby raising.
That sound good to you Equius?

[Hey Jade, Noodle's just gunna wander herself over to you and take a seat, and stare at that egg]

...So do you know the proper caring for dragon eggs?

I know they must be kept in fire to hatch! But if this is a fake dragon egg, I suppose it would work out better if we just kept it close to us.

Do you think it would like music, too? Maybe we should play it some songs at the end of the day!

Body warmth should be enough then. If it gets chilly we can use blankets.

Sounds good. Don't normal mum's play music to their unborn babies? It's supposed to make them smarter or something... [Rolling the egg carefully] So what do you play?

I play bass! My eclectic bass has been a very good companion of mine for a long, long time!

Cool. I'm mostly just normal six string, but I've dabbled with Murdoc's bass when he wasn't looking. You miss being able to play anything but acoustic here too?

Actually! My bass does not run on electricity! That is why it is an eclectic bass, of course.

But I do miss being able to listen to my friend's sweet mixes, though.

So it's acoustic then? [If you have found some non electric way to make electric based guitars work she will love you 5eva Jade]

What kind of mixes do they do?
