A Lesson in Hell

New Player Lesson in Hell on hatching etiquette. If you are interested, please come. There are a couple of real eggs, so who knows, you may get a graduation present. Type: hell.

Hell
This place is about as far from Pern as you can get. It's a bar, you can tell that much. Along one wall is a huge row of windows that offer a nice view of space, and you notice spacecraft bustling about from time to time. Graffiti is spray-painted on the other wall. Numerous comfy chairs, couches, and tables fill the room. It's a good place to hang out OOC for a while.
You can easily see that this is a public place. If someone tells you to leave, tell them to go to Pern.
You can type 'return' to return to the place you came from.
You see Ugly Mailer Daemon, Really Useful Age Machine, kleenex, Carnivorous Man-eating seedling, Coral Reef Egg, and Midnight Star Egg here.
Jassay, Z'diah, Andressan, Lothar, Derk, Falada, and Caridwyn are here.
Obvious exits:
Hallway

Andressan *is early?

Jueann nods. Tehre's no ooc here

Andressan laughs. Yeah. I knew that...:P Lothar licks Z'diah and sits in Jueann's lap, transforming in to a Cheshire Cat..

Jassay eyes Lothar. "Nuts, all nuts."
Falada says, "Got your egg, Jue."
Lothar loves nutz..
Andressan hides ...
Derk looks around at everyone. "I always wondered what they said at these things."

Jueann loves ya.

Jassay says, "I never said nuts was a bad thing."
Falada grins. I was wondering what I was gonna do with these things. That person I owe one to hasn't showed up in my past three clutches.

Jueann chuckles. Well if you don't mind letting them be use in a lesson?
Lothar chuckles and re-settles his catform in Jueann's lap purring happily..

Falada gently and protectively sets down Shavira.
Shavira drops Coral Reef Egg.
Shavira drops Midnight Star Egg.
Falada calls to Shavira, who flies over and lands on her shoulder.

Jueann blinks at the eggs. Ohh thank you thank you
Lothar licks his lips as he peers at the firelizard... Dinner..

Jassay chuckles. "Firelizard omlette's are the best."
Lothar purrs in agreement at Jassay..
From Falada's shoulder, Shavira hisses at all of you. < Not eat me! >
Jassaysnickers...
Caridwyn sits on Lothar. Comfy.

Lothar-Cat is squished?
Z'diah says, "what a waste."
Jassay eyes... where's her seat?
Derk isn't too interested in impressing but wouldnt mind learning a few tips from the pros. Are you teaching about running a hatching also?
Yumi grabs a seat
Caridwyn moves and pets Loth-Cat instead?

Jueann says, "O, people, cut the spam. Most of you know I don't like unnecessary spam."

Andressan relaxes and watches insanity unfold..

Lothar purrrrs at Caridwyn and moves from his Jueann's lap to Caridwyn's lap..
Lothar chuckles at Jueann, "Unnecessary is my middle name.. :)~

Jueann says, "First let's thank Falada for the donation of the eggs."

Jassay claps. "Thanks Falada!"
Falada bows with a flourish.
Lothar claps his paws for Falada!
Caridwyn applauds.
Hynolonie Luffs Falada.
Andressan cheers
Derk smooches Falada on the cheek
Yumi smiles at Falada
Rajinder cat-calls

Jueann chuckles. Ok, Where do people go to get info on hatchings?
Andressan says, "*fl"

Derk oohh oohhh HELP?
Lothar trots over to Rajinder wiggling his tail.. you called?
Falada says, "[FL]"
Jassay nodders. "I like all of those."
Yumi says, "fl help"
Hynolonie coughs.. "what they said.." Is just slow at typing.. really.
Lothar grins, "To Jueann's lesson of course." he purrs..

Caridwyn can tell you where NOT to go, but.
Rajinder pulls Loth's tail. kitty!

Jueann nods. "the mailer *firelizard Issues (or *fl), the help files." Turns to Caridwyn, "Ok where not to?"
Lothar hisses at Rajinder and returns to Caridwyn, safer...

Yumi thinks "There are cats in Hell?"
Lothar tickles Yumi and nods, "Shhh.. Yea.."
Rajinder says, "No better place for 'em."
Yumi giggles "Nice kitty...

Jueann says, "Any where aren't you suppose to go to?""

Collin says, "Well..there's dogs ever since 'All dogs go to Heaven', so why not cats?"
Laredo whaps. Spamalot, don'tcha'll?
Jassay says, "don't constantly pester people. "
Caridwyn notes that bugging a person who has eggs is -not- cool. Gathering around where there are eggs and blastantly posing about those eggs is also not good. People will hatch there eggs how and when they want, and they have every right to simply @recycle them if they get too spammed.
Caridwyn ahems. In short, going to the person with the eggs and bugging is a no-no.

Jueann nods to Caridwyn, "Right. The eggs belong to the person. Bug them and you can get blackballed from getting any."
Lothar says, "Or worse, you push the person over the edge, and they become evil and do what I do."

Caridwyn notes, for the unawares, that blackballing someone simply means straight-out refusing to ever Impress a flit to them or gift an egg. As always, it's an individual choice and changes from person to person.

You say, "Knows of a certain person that sat in the Mug, eating his eggs because he was so upset about how people treated him and his eggs that he rp'ed eating them and then @recycled them.""
Lothar says, "I like that persons style.. I just let them rot.."

Collin remembers similar instances also...though never eating.
Jassay nods. "I heard about that. another way to not impress is to not follow the rules posted at hatchings."
Andressan laughs. "Funny...but at the same time sad."
Falada would not let mine rot. It holds up the queue for others.
Laredo mutters about twinking.

Lothar nods to Jassay, "That's a really good way...

Hynolonie dies.. "Though, that was almost similar to a contest on *fl"
Lothar nods to Falada, "Exactly.."
Lothar says, "Just a note to y'all.. I'm the MOO's biggest advocate /against/ Firelizards... ;)"
Andressan winces...powergaming...that's the worst...

Jueann nods. "Speaking of the queue, let me explain that. With the huge amount of female fire lizards, green as well as gold, there is a queue set up on when a female will go proddy.

Falada says, "Posing the same thing over and over is a good way not to Impress."
Jassay says, "powerplaying people or other firelizard too."

Jueann says, "With a Gold, you get a little more eggs and with all the metallics. Greens only produce Blues, greens and sometimes browns."
Lothar says, "Powerplaying is a /big/ no go.. No matter what your RPing, unless you have all involved parties permission.."
Caridwyn was witness to a hatching where the person stated first and foremost that they would hatch the eggs at their discretion. People were constantly bugging about the person not hatching them at the same time, and they came -very- close to simply @recycling the eggs. People obviously had no regard for the rules, and when confronted, at least one was rude to someone in authority.

Jueann nods to Lothar Jueann says, "Hatcher has all the aces, folks. They own the eggs. They have the power to @recycle them."
Lothar says, "This does remind me to drop that mail to Kira on the subject of Firelizards..."

Andressan notes they had to follow the rules to get their eggs in the first place.
Jassay nods. "Don't get on the hatchers bad side, not a good thing (unless purely for RP and hatcher knows).

The daemon speaks in Lothar's voice, "Right, don't piss off the hatchers.. ;)"

Jueann says, "When a female goes proddy they have 6 rl days to produce a clutch of eggs and if they don't, tooo bad."
The daemon speaks in Lothar's voice, "And don't suck up either.."

Caridwyn coughs. "Twinky smiles at the little brown, "I will love you, come eat my nummy food."" is a no-no.
Jassay gahs and probably wouldn't Impress a firelizard to a person like that.

The daemon speaks in Lothar's voice, "IF I was ever to hold ahatching, that'd get you at the very least @ejected.."
Jueann nods to Caridwyn, "We'll get to that in a moment. Let's deal with background first."

Hynolonie notes 'happy thoughts' aren't as helpful on HT as good original RP is.
Derk laughs and just talked to someone about that a day ago. It was so annoying to hear over and over how much they wanted another flit
Caridwyn has already @gagged one person at a hatching where she was trying for a flit. I won't hesitate to @gag as I see fit, and I doubt I'm the only one.
Rajinder noddles at Lothar. treat the hatcher with respect but don't get down on your knees and beg. That's..../not/ cool.

Lothar nods, "Right../
Jueann says, "ok we've covered where to find out about a hatching, the queue and some of the do's and don't's. Anything else about the background about firelizards. Oh yes one more thing."

Lothar nods at Jueann and waits with bated purrs..
Jueann says, "how many fire lizards are you allowed on this game?"
Andressan says, "Five."
Lothar zips his lips..

Collin noodles to Caridwyn @gag is a good tool, I highly recommend it
Derk enough to have a full set
Hynolonie just smiles...
Caridwyn says, "5. 4 from hatching, 5th has to be gifted."

Jueann says, "Five and taht's it. Youc an ghost them if you want more."

Jassay says, "5. first 2 can be from lotto. up to 4 from a hatching and the last must be gifted"

Lothar grins at Collin and Caridwyn, "I'm a bit more drastic than @gag.. Not mean enough for my tastes.. ;)
You say, "Ok, any questions comments on the subject so far?"
Lothar nods, "And as soon as D'thon finishes recoding it, you'll only be able to get your first one from the @lotto..

Rajinder isn't sharp today...is @gag the same as @eject? I always forget...
Danella simply sits and looks pretty, enjoying the refresher.
Jassay says, "Nope, @gag is where you don't hear what a person says. @eject is ejected from the room I think."
Falada says, "@gag sets it so that you hear nothing from the person @gagged, channel pose, say, page, etc."
Lothar nods "Right Jassay..

Rajinder nods. Thanks.
Derk says, "how do you take @gag off?"

Jueann says, "@gag is like putting a gag on a person. On here, that person ceases to exist to you. You don't see them when you enter a room, you can't hear them or get any of their pages."

Falada says, "@ungag"

Jueann says, "I had a person during one of my hunts with eggs offered as prizes, shout across the moo because i had @gagged her, that I was a mean person because I had @gagged her"

Falada chuckles. Bet that didn't exactly get the reaction she wanted.
Derk says, "is there a universal @ungag for after the hatching to undo all at once?"

You say, "And I didn't get into trouble because of it. I had the right to @gag her because she didn't obey my rules. "

Collin wonders in idle humor whether you heard her? ;)

You say, "Collin, no. I was told after the fact."

Jassay says, "Probably ended up with more people deciding not to Impress a firelizard to her."

Lothar says, "You always have the right to @gag someone, I could @gag Jueann right now. Just 'cause I felt like it... ;)"
Jueann nods to Jassay.

Collin grins,"I figured, my humor isn't what it used to be I guess.."
Andressan laughs. "What a moron...that's like saying 'Look at me, I'm a twink!'"
Lothar grins..

You say, "Ok any question or comment I missed?"

Hynolonie nopes.. none from me.
Danella says, "darwins culling of the stupid in action:)"
Collin takes a bite out of Andressan the Twinkie >:)
Sydelle looks at all the new people "Hi all!!" :)

Jueann says, "ok Falada are you ready to hatch your eggs? We are going to do a mock hatching. Falada is the hatcher so she has control of the eggs. When you get eggs, you will get a note from Kira on what to do for your eggs to get them ready."

Yumi is furiously scrawling notes
Lothar waves to Sydelle..
Falada blushes. I don't know how to hatch eggs.

Jueann says, "But first, @gift. "
Jueann says, "@gift is a nice way to play the egg fairy"

Andressan nods. "Yeah, but you can't ask someone to @gift you an egg. Big no-no."

Lothar says, "Yes, and the commands for @gift are /very/ particular.. You must do them the right way or something'll go screwy.. ;) Trust me, I've tracked down the bugs 'fore.."

Yumi asks "Is the color of th fl random?" Hynolonie coughs, wondering if you want me to try for an egg, because I can't get anymore from a hatching...
Collin says, "So that's it...JuJu..you mind going over gifting the flit and holding a hatching? If you haven't already.. I was told that you can only get a certain amount through hatching and a certain through gifting"

Lothar says, "It's randomly decided at the time of creation based on different things.."
Jueann says, "yumi, yes. it's based on your activity, the color of your female"

Yumi nods..."ohhh...mommy and daddy...
Jassay says, "ie greens won't get metallics."
Derk says, "can a gold clutch another gold if she is mated to anything but a bronze?"

Jueann says, "Derk, no"
Lothar grins at Jueann, "Probably right, but I still wanna see the clutch code.. :)
Derk wants to congratulate whoever coded this game. Kudos. Though I'm sure they will never hear it from me LOL

Jueann smiles at Lothar, "I know D'thon tweak the code lately to allow more golds from younger golds. Jueann paged Derk with: Jueann pages, "@send *wiz"

Yumi says, "If you have a gold or green can you ask for sire service?" Jassay says, "You can hold flights."
The daemon speaks in Liesana's voice, "Also, if you can't be bothered to, you can use 'Wild Bronze' as a sire."
Jueann chuckles, "All the time. You can use the @party asking for a flight or ask a friend if he/she mind being the sire. Yumi looks confused "It has to be open?
Caridwyn is just lazy and uses one of her own flits.
Collin says, "Juean..would you mind going over gifting the flit and holding a hatching really quick? If you haven't already, that is.. I was told that you can only get a certain amount through hatching and a certain through gifting?"

Jueann says, "I used to hold funny flights. I told everyone that the funniest posing wins. Once my green mated in the Clothing Shop in a bra and another in someone's hair."

Caridwyn chokes.
Lothar dies..
Rajinder rolls!
Jassay nods to Collin. "You can get a max of four through hatchings, the last has to be gifted."
Falada would not want anything mating in /her/ hair.
Andressan laughs...
In a caricature of Liesana, the daemon is glad she wasn't that person... o.0

Jueann nods to Collin, "You have to wait about 5 rl days from clutching.

Collin chuckles..
Yumi rolls!
Danella agrees, what a mess that would make of ones hair!
Derk pictures some poor person running around screaming with two amorous flits in their hair.

You say, "I must say the guy was very forgiving. but then I gave him an egg for being a sport."

Collin says, "..but there's no limit to how many you can have from gifting and impressing?"
Andressan isn't sure if that's worth the trouble...but all in good RP.
Yumi says, "you would need to compensate for such a good laugh =}"
Jassay says, "one of my alts has been gifted all four of hers."

You say, "Collin, the limit is 5 fire lizards"

Falada has 12 among her alts, 11 were gifts.

You say, "period, you can only get more firelizards if you @recycled them."
Collin says, "Got it :) thanks"

Derk says, "does @recycle make them ghosted? And if so do you do the same thing if you rp the death of a flit?"Judithe> Nerak wanders aimlessly up the curving staircase to the balcony hallway.
Yumi says, "how long do you have to RP to get one from lotto?"
Caridwyn waves and ducks out.

Lothar says, "No, @recycle recycles them.. Use '@ghost' to ghost them.."
Derk got one from the lotto his second day on this char...
Yumi says, "Ghost?"

Lothar smiles at Derk, "I impressed Dasiy my first day on.. ;) Thanx to Evan.. ;)

Hynolonie says, "@ghost will ICly keep them with you, but you will nolonger own the object? Is that how it goes? @recycle will delete them from you completely."

******* Special Note: Although I editted out alot from these logs, I would especially wish to thank Kira for her help and to Lothar for taking over. For duration of this lesson, I owned Hell. What a scarey thought! I was the owner of the fiery pit. --- Jueann's player ******

Jueann paged Lothar with: Jueann pages, "can you take over for a few moments. Technical probs"

Derk ahhs "so if it died you @recycle. Got it."
Laurah says, "Alternatly, if you @recycle it, it dies."

Lothar pages, "Sure.."
Lothar says, "Basicly Laurah.. ;)"
Lothar says, "Right Hynolonie.."

Yumi says, "They become wild??"
The daemon speaks in Liesana's voice, "Firelizards don't die on a regular basis, however. "
Derk was sort of gifted an egg that second day and it hatched as I won the lotto. Double impression with no hatching. Weird.

Lothar grins at Derk, "Fun isn't it?
Laurah nods to Lies. "Unless the owner dies, the 'lizards usually live..."
Yumi smiles "Twins
Jassay says, "They don't become wild, there's still yours, it's just not listed in your @audit"

Lothar nods to Jassay, "Right, that's if you @ghost them...

Derk nods but they are in () in your flpair...

Lothar says, "Right.." You say, "Sorry a little problem has developed. "

Derk thinks we should have a spay and neuter program for flits as they are taking over the world...

Lothar says, "But nothing we can't handle.. ;)"
Lothar hi5's Derk, "Thank you! Yes!

Andressan laughs..."I agree with Derk."
Derk grins at Lothar glad to have a few agree with me.....
In a caricature of Liesana, the daemon chuckles. Has the use of @skip-clutch been discussed yet?
Yumi asks, "You can keep them from becoming proddy can't you?

Jueann says, "no Liesana. Go for it while I work on a problem"

Jassay doesn't agree. "No @skip-clutch hasn't been discussed yet."

Lothar grins at Derk, "Refer back to the mail on *sugg and *disc alla me.. ;)
You paged Kira with: Jueann pages, "busy?"

Lothar ohhs, "Yes.. There is @skip-clutch if you just don't wanna deal with eggs or hold up the queue.. But, if your like me and want to hold up the queue, make them, and then sit on them...

In a caricature of Liesana, the daemon gleams. Well then, I will. @skip-clutch. A wonderful verb. Use it on a female flit, and it will set her to being un-proddy for the next 90 RL days.
Yumi needs to change her outfit...it's damned hot in Hell...

Lothar nods to Liesana, "Right.. The humane thing to do.. ;)

Rajinder doesn't really like flizzens. my alts have two of 'em and their useless. Not to mention they degrade my IC job. I don't really care, but still.
Derk laughs and agrees. though the golds are to pretty to let rot. But a contract for spay neuter like we do with our rescue dogs would work.
Danella has a rescued harrier

Lothar says, "I've long been trying to reduce the population of firelizards on HT.. Anyone that cares, @addfeature #19519 and then do '@moo-stat' check out the number of 'idle' flits..."

Yumi nods. You can gift your eggs to chars you know will not mate them.
Derk rescues and fosters rat terriers but that is off topic. LOL
Hynolonie has characters that don't have flits.. and will never have flits.

Kira pages, "sup?"
You paged Kira with: Jueann pages, "can Hell be made a hatching room or should I take this ooc lesson to a beach that is?"

Derk wrote that down as he is /sure/ it is spammy as Hell (don't mind the pun)

Lothar says, "See.. total of 3583 firelizards.. 2193 of them owned by inactive players.."

Kira pages, "yeah, lemme figure out where the room parent is."

Rajinder hmms. Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.
Hynolonie blinks.. "Is the player's activity taken as the activity of the flit too?"

Lothar says, "Yes..""

Yumi says, "perhaps they can fly away after a set amount of time?"
Derk says, "couldn't they reap lizards? doesn't that eat up server space?"
Rajinder hehs. They should.

Kira pages, "ok. I cant remember if you actually need to *own* the room too. lmk if you have trouble with it."
Lothar says, "Yes Derk, it does.. that was one of my big arguments in my case against @lotto.."

You paged Kira with: Jueann pages, "lmk?"

In a caricature of Liesana, the daemon chuckles. If you implemented a firelizard reap, @lotto would probably resolve it's self.
Kira pages, ""Let Me Know""
The daemon speaks in Lothar's voice, "Yep.. ;)"
You paged Kira with: Jueann pages, "ahh sorry thanks"

Jassay has, oddly enough, gotten her most recent firelizard from @lotto
The daemon speaks in Liesana's voice, "Any other questions?"
Derk well the largest influential people will only agree when they have to pay more for space in my experience.

You paged Kira with: Jueann pages, "it says i need permission"
Jueann says, "I'm getting closer"

Yumi sweats and asks "how do I change my outfit?"
Hynolonie knows that one!

Jueann says, "change outfitname"

Rajinder says, "@owearing me is ""
The daemon speaks in Linora's voice, "Changelist only works if you've added outfits."
Jassay nods to both. "Depends if you have a list of not."
Yumi mumbles "thanks!" as she strips down.
Derk leers
Hynolonie basically, you have to write a @wearing desc.. then adddesc {outfitname} And you can build up a bunch of them over time. You type change list for a list of your @wearing descs.. the Change {outfitname} to wear it.

From afar, Kira chowns it to you for now, lemme know when you're done.

There are two eggs.

Lothar bows out slowly, backing out of the crowd and fading in to the mist...

Midnight Star Egg rocks and rolls
Rajinder sits back and cracks his knuckles with a sickening *craaaack*
Jueann says, "ok we are set for the hatching."

Danella says, "must be a harpers egg:P"
Andressan has to go soon, but will stick around

Jueann says, "The hatcher has done the work and now is the time to hatch. A standard rule is?"

Derk will watch and say one liners so the hatchlings hate him. Muahahahahaha
Jassay says, "one pose per egg/hatchling pose"
Andressan says, "One pose for egg/hatching pose"

Jueann nods, one to one and another standard rule?

Hynolonie says, "NO OOC!"
Jassay says, "don't powerplay, and no 'happy thought'"

Jueann says, "Right. so people the egg has posed. "
Yumi says, "powerplay?"

Jueann nods to Yumi, that's a good one. and another is no unnecessary spam.

Danella will sit out as tecnically she's not new... LOL
In a caricature of T'am, the daemon peeks. The things I walk into...player lessons and the like. O.o
Derk err... where /are/ we? do we rp being in /hell/ ?
Jassay nods and sits back. She's not new either.

Midnight Star Egg rocks, cracks are forming.
Hynolonie refrains from posing.

Jueann says, "So pose to the eggs. And then we'll discuss the posing"

Yumi says, "Pose?"
Hynolonie can pose for Demonstration purposes?

Jueann nods to Hynolonie

Rajinder would love to stay and watch server-space-depleting flizzens hatch, but I have to go. see y'all
Danella volunteers.
Andressan sighs and has to go :P
Yumi waves at Fox.
Danella runs up and grabs some meat, "ooo pretty eggie, all mine!"
Yumi says, "we're waiting for the baby..."
Yumi giggles
Derk also demonstration posing. I don't need more spam.
Hynolonie yawns stretches and yawns again as she walks into the room with her morning breakfast in hand. Who would have though the girl eats wherryjerky for breakfast, but never the less she does. She pauses just long enough to ear the unique sounds of eggs cracking and sees the clutch of eggs just now cracky. CHANCE! A firelizard hatching. It must be her lucky day. She kneels down and waits for the egg to hatch.

Some nameless brat runs up and takes the egg, running away.

Jueann says, "ok which was the good pose and which weren't?"

Danella tackles the nameless vrat and steals the egg for hersel, "MINE!"
Yumi says, "#2?" Jassay personally like Hynolonies.
Hynolonie personally liked the brat.. so nice and forward.. but thinks that egg would have gotten @recycled.

Jueann nods. "hynolonie was the best. The brat actually happened. Danella is helpign to be a twink.
T'am tickles Hynolonie.

Midnight Star Egg shatters into a thousand fragments, leaving its occupant out in the open.
Amusing Brown Hatchling
With a comical grin curving his tiny mouth, and brightly whirling eyes, this hatchling seems to have no desires other to amuse. His hide is an odd shade, with dappled spots over shoulders and hindquarters. Paws continuously trip over each other as their owner forgets them in pursuit of other interests. Wings askew, and tail twisting, the little lizard delights all that set eyes on his.

Jueann says, "ok, the hatching has hatched. Pose please"

Yumi takes some wherry out of her sandwich and offers it to the hungry baby...
Derk wakes up from his nap in the chair. "Wha? He sees Hynolonie and smiles a little trying to pretend he didn't have drool running down his chin. "Hi, what are you doing?" is said before he notices the egg on the floor looking as if it is dancing. It hatches and he sees the small brown emerge. "Oh an egg."

@set-party hatching in Hell, come learn how to pose during a hatching. learn hatching etiquette and improve your chances. 2 eggs, 2 chances to win.
** Jueann just set the @party! Type @party to check it out! **

Danella grabs the little beast and stuffs meat into it mouth, "eat darling thing, i love you!"
T'am sits down and takes a nice fat sandwich out of his pocket. Wiggling the sandwich, he starts to sing. "Oh, you're such a pretty flitter. I'll always love you. We'll be so happy together." He thinks warm, happy thoughts at the firelizard.
Jassay enters the room, yawining as she goes. Looking about she spots the remenants of a firelizard shell and a fresh, or what appears to be a fresh, hatchling. The healer eyes momentarily before moving on, seemingly not interested.
T'am *just had to get that one in.
Yumi says, "why is everyone yawning?"

Jueann says, "ok, who was the best?"

Hynolonie's sparkle as she spies the brown hatchling that has now made its entrance. She bites her lip and leans forward till her elbows it the ground. The bit of wherryjerky held out for the flitter to get the scent of on the air. "Look, Derk! I found some egg's a hatching. Wouldn't it be spiffy to Impress one?"
Jassay says, "T'am!"
Derk *rolls
Hynolonie dies at her slow pose.

T'am dies. "If you're one of the people that likes singing at firelizards and happy thought cliches. Personally, I thought Yumi's and Jassay's weren't bad."

Jueann says, "Ok people you need to lengthen your posing to at least the hatcher can see them but not so long that the hatcher is spammed silly."

Jassay says, "Just what I'd do to ICly let everyone know that I just wasn't interested in impressing."

Jueann paged T'am with: Jueann pages, "care to show a loonnnggg over done hatching pose?"

Hynolonie nods.. "SInging gets annoying really quickly."
From afar, T'am would love to!

Jueann nods. I asked someone to do a long pose. Now remember the poor hatcher has to read your posing. And their screen is going to scroll by. Posing should be long enough to tell a story but short enough as not to overwhelme the hatcher
Jueann says, "what shouldn't you do?"

The daemon speaks in Lothar's voice, "Or like my 90 year old freshmen english teacher put it.. 'Like a womans skirt sonny.. Long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to keep it interesting'...."
Jueann laughs!

Hynolonie hides from Lothar.
Danella LOL's
Yumi giggles as she says, "I was still trying to change my outfit and Impress at the same time! Damn clothes...
Danella hikes her dress up some, "like this?"

Amusing Brown Hatchling is an admusing fellow as he creels his hunger. Taking a step or two, he trips on his wing, so his creeling mixes with pain.

Yumi hates clothes and rips hers off..
Derk change your outfit to impress? hmm never thought of that *wink*
T'am moves forward to sit right in front of the little firelizard. Rocking back and forth on his knees, he waves the sandwich in the little baby's face. "C'mon little guy. You're so cute. I can't believe how cute you are. Here's some meat for you. You'll grow big and strong and we'll be together always." He smiles happily at the firelizard. He needs a best friend. It's been so lonely living all by himself, and he knows that this flit is just what he's been looking for. "I'll love and feed you." He croons, thinking happy loving thoughts.

Jueann says, "Im not the best poser"

In a caricature of Lothar, the daemon licks Yumi..
T'am coughs. That wasn't as long as I thought. blah.
The daemon speaks in Lothar's voice, "Only 4 lines.."
Hynolonie can do really long ones.

Jueann chuckles, "its long enough. No joke I've seen longer poses
Derk throws up
Danella says, "7 lines at 80 chars per line"

Jueann says, "ok what's wrong with T'am's pose?"

T'am is slowed by typing with his injured index finger. But yes, I've seen a 15 liner at a hatching. Made want to kill someone. Yumi offers to snuggle the baby in her ruined red dress as she holds up meat.
The daemon speaks in Lothar's voice, "Sentence structure.."

Jueann paged Danella with: Jueann pages, "ok let's do a bit of angst?"

Yumi says, "Too needy?"
Danella pages, "kk"
Hynolonie gahs.. "well, its all touchy feely.. mushy. Not interesting content really, and well, it just takes up space and makes you lose your place while posing."

Jueann nods to Hynolonie, "you need to stick to the theme of thehatching and react to the hatching
Jueann says, "so pose to the hatching"

T'am nods. And please, DON'T sit there and repeatedly "think happy thoughts" at the firelizard. *gag*
Yumi wonders "Is it possible to lick the daemon back?"
Danella grrns and pushes T'am aside, "get away you tewit, that's MY firelizzard, he likes ME!" She puts more meat in the flit's mouth and watches it eat happily.
Derk grins at Hynolonie but doesn't move from his chair. He doesn't think you can attract much of anything with drool dried on your chin. He does enjoy watching the immpressions though. He sits up a little more to see better blinking some sleep from his eyes. He jumps as the little Brown cries out in pain.
Derk what is wrong with this picture?

Jueann Punces on Danella, "You got the last egg. I need a fire lizard."

Hynolonie dies at Derk. you insulted me!
Yumi scoops up the brown while the monkeys fight it out...
Yumi laughs
Hynolonie Merps.. or it sounds like you did. Be more specific.

Jueann says, "ok these are all bad posing. Do you see the pattern here?"

T'am wipes the dried drool from Hynolonie. "Hey, pose another good one Hy!"
Yumi gently puts the baby back and slowly steps away

Jueann paged T'am with: Jueann pages, "can you @emit the brown? I'm a terrible hatching poser."

Derk see I didn't say who had dried spit on their chin /and/ I'm not trying for the flit but I'm posing long. In a large crowd it can be confusing I would think.
Yumi says, "Isn't the flit hungry still?"

From afar, T'am eeks. I've never done it before, but sure. Just a second while I scroll back up to see your last pose of it.

Jueann says, "ok people with this next hatchling pose, I want to put in some good posing."

Jassay will offer up bad posing when need be.
The daemon speaks in Lothar's voice, "AKA Use what you've learned about Hatchings to knock her socks off and impress her.. :)"

Jueann nods

Derk agrees that bad posing is easier than good when your tired.
Hynolonie is sitting there patiently, like a good little harper in one of her classes. She crouches there for a good while before she hears another noise. It was a low gurling growling. Shard! Her stomache was just too empty. With no disrespect to the brown hatchling, she tears off the back end of the wherry jerky and pops it into her mouth, chewing hardily. Her eyes remain locked on the flit, still holding the jerky out for the flit to have, only now, her breath smells like jerky too.
Yumi saunters up to Derk and hears cracking. Luckily, it is lunch time and she offers the hatchling some of her sandwich.
Yumi can flirt with Derk later...

Amusing Brown Hatchling lets out a hungry creel as he detangles and moves out toward the sea of faces. Which one is hiding the delectable morsel of food he is looking for?

Danella watches the young thing with wide eye's softly humming to herself abesentmidely, eye's locked onto the little lizzard. Carefully, so not to startely, she holds the meat out to it and speaks som soft inanities at it trying to sound encouraging.
Laurah randomly notes... Some people don't like the term flit. 'Lizard or flitterby are actually used in the books, so... Yeah.
In a caricature of Lothar, the daemon nods at Laurah, "Right..

From afar, T'am sorries, it's kinda lame. My roommates are causing a distraction!!
You paged T'am with: Jueann pages, "it's better then mine"

Yumi scratches the brown's eyeridge and offers another piece of meat.
Jassay meanders over to get herself some food, mostly some meatrolls and klah. Then Jass finds a seat, not all too far from the amusing hatchling. She grins slightly, he's just to interesting to say no to, so she holds out one of her meatrolls, sitting her self cross-legged on the ground. A meatroll is set nearby, whilst she continues holding the other one in her outstretched arm

Jueann says, "everyone posed? one of the things you shouldn't do is power-play the hatchling. It isn't your's yet. "
Jueann says, "ok now's the time to vote, who should get this brown? The hatcher has to decide and it's hard."

Hynolonie merps.. and continues to listen to her stomache growl as she still holds that aluring piece of meat our for the hatchling before wrinkling her nose.. and .. well, yes. Humans before new flits, right? She pushes the rest of the jerky into her mouth and sits back and sighs. oh well.
Yumi waits patiently for the brown to decide.
((EEerrr not me.. because Hynolonie can't receive anymore by hatching.))
Yumi winks at Derk
Derk blushes and murmers that he has a girlfriend.
