Here are the OOC things to do during week one:

Change your outfit desc to white shirt, black pants and orange vest. (Gag!I know!) This is the weyrling uniform. Have fun with it. Gripe about it (oh,btw, the orange dye runs). Weyrlings in the past have been very creative how they spruce up the uniform to make it "livable". You will also need to change your knot. You can do it in your desc or use @jewelry me is "knot desc"... A knot desc should read something like this..."wears the knot of an Istan Weyrling, orange and black threaded through with (color of lifemate).

Work on pro's!!! (read Dragon Speech). This is the week to learn how to make your dragon talk and pose telepathically. You should also be on the dragon channel lings and practicing there. Ask a WLM for help.
That's what we're here for!"

Couches: Write an @desc for your own couch (remember, it's your lifemate's.. not your own) and put it to it! If you have any trouble finding help files (if you need them), let me know and I might just help you out. I'll be picking these up for grades ;D *cackles!*

Type @sethome while in your couch. To set your dragons home do the following:

@unlink dragon#

@link dragon#=Here (while in your couch)

Here is the IC stuff to do during the first week:

Oil your dragon often! You do that by using a large paddle to smear the thick oil over their hide and then rub it in with your fingers or a rag. With their rapid growth they are probably itchy! And complaining alot.

Feed your dragon from the meat trays in the barracks. They aren't ready to hunt yet. Maybe you get confused and think their hungerpains are your own and find yourself eating ravenously in the lc! Or maybe when your dragon eats you get the taste of raw meat in your mouth (Yuk!). Sorting out this who is me and who is my dragon is fun rp this week.

You still have chores...gripe, gripe. Refilling oil barrels, keeping the meat trays replenished, shoveling dragon doo.....

Salute, salute, salute!! Any rider you meet (Istan or Fortian). Just once. When you come into the room or they come into the room. No need to do it when they leave or you leave. It's a greeting kind of thing. Some riders will tell you not to but do it anyway. You have your orders!

Your first lesson will cover the Rules and Regulations of Weyrlinghood as well as an introduction to Firestone. Follow these links for further information.

Have fun! That's what this game is all about. The WLM's are here to assist you. Call on us often with lots of questions...that's rp for us, too!
