My, my. What ferocious dragons you have hatched. And a few that have not.

Attention must be paid to Misters Dave Strider and Wilbur Robinson, both of Gryffindor 3rd year for their tireless efforts in raising the happiest dragon. As a mark of your outstanding achievement, you have earned 50 points for Gryffindor and may keep Sean Pimpdaddy Connery. It is aptly named, I am sure.

Would the rest of the participants be so kind as to tell me what occurred with your eggs? After all, it does not do to count your dragons until they have hatched.

[ooc: Dragons hatch today! If your dragon breathes blue (which is better) or red (which is not as good, but not bad) sparks, you get points. If it breathes farts, you get nothing, and if your egg never hatched, well, you LOSE points. Have your characters comment here and tell Professor Dumbledore what you got. Talk to your partner about it first and TRY TO BE REALISTIC.]

...Thalassa is breathing blue sparks.

Is that all right?

[oh_earwax]

That is perfectly all right, Miss Xion. 10 points to Hufflepuff and Slytherin each, for you and Mr. Zuko's hard work.

[fuckmackandme]

hmmmm...
magic mike is shooting red sparks.

[oh_earwax]

That is magical indeed. 5 points to Gryffindor and Slytherin for the efforts that you and Mr. Larkin have put towards your dragon.

I'm glad you enjoyed the assignment. It certainly was delightful to watch, was it not?

Seriously?

[oh_earwax]

Yes, Mister Robinson, seriously. I must offer you a hearty congratulations.

[is anyone surprised they wound up with a dragon psychopath??]

[heartwrenching]

Are you ready to hear a glad, glad story? For once, I have one! And oh, it's a tale of life and triumph and glory and setting fire to things!!

Ladd Jr. has hatched, breathing a volcanic level of red sparks! He responded well to the metaphorical - and a few times, as implied, very literal - fiery paternal spirit that Shinra and I offered him! And now he is strong and aggressive and ENDLESSLY, TIRELESSLY, RELENTLESSLY BITEY and I could not be more proud.

[oh_earwax]

Very fascinating, Mr. Specter. It's always a delight to see young people so enthused about their schoolwork. 5 points to Gryffindor and Slytherin each for you and Mr. Kishitani's accomplishment.

Thank-you very much for the oportunity, Professor Dumbledore.
We're very proud of Ladd Junior! He went straight for my ulnar artery, so I'm sure he has excellent hunting instincts.

The only problem is that I'm in Ravenclaw.

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

i THINK THAT i CAN, uH, tAKE GREAT PRIDE IN SAY THAT, wE HAVE ONE THAT BREATHES RED!
i MEAN, i KNOW THAT, uH,
iT COULD BE BETTER,
bUT i AM REALLY, dEFINITELY PROUD OF THEODORE FOR MANAGING THOSE RED ONES,



aND i THINK i EVEN MAYBE, sAW A BLUE ONE OR TWO, mIXED IN THERE,
mAYBE,
iT COULD HAVE BEEN MY EYES PLAYING TRICKS ON ME,
oR MAYBE NOT, aND HE REALLY DID, i DON'T KNOW,
bUT EITHER WAY, i'M VERY PROUD OF HIM!

dID WE DO OKAY?

OURS...DIDN'T HATCH.

[doctorkishitani]

[Filtered to Karkat]

Have you tried setting it on fire? That's how Ladd Jr. hatched.

[selfhatred]

[filtered to Shinra and vice versa]

I'M NOT SETTING ARIEL ON FIRE.

[doctorkishitani]

[Also filtered to Karkat]

Why not? I'm fairly sure dragons breathe fire on their eggs as a form of incubation, so it would probably be good for her.

[selfhatred]

[all the filters]

MAYBE IF NOTHING ELSE MAKES IT HATCH.
I'M GOING TO ASK FOR PERMISSION TO KEEP IT A LITTLE LONGER.

[chousenplayer]

Gibson's breathing blue.
