Weyrlinghood: Month 2
RP Ideas
- Get to know other riders and dragons: Regardless of where 'home' was prior to your Impression, Ista Weyr is now your home - yours and your lifemate's! Most dragons are naturally curious and social and willing to get to know other dragons at the Weyr. You'll also be encouraged to get to know experienced dragonriders as well.
- Bond with your fellow weyrlings: With a routine falling into place, you'll be growing familiar with your barrack-mates. There may be more time to compare experiences, commiserate over trials and academics and lend a hand to one another.
- Physical Training: For many of you, just caring for your new dragon may be a workout in itself. PT will start out easy with bowl laps and calisthenics to build stamina and full-body strength. You'll also learn to swim if you don't already know how - this will be necessary for bathing your dragons as they grow larger.
- Dragon exercises: Your lifemates will be taught exercises designed to strengthen their wing and neck muscles in preparation for flight. This early in weyrlinghood, these exercises are often in the form of stretches, which also keep muscles limber.
- Practice Drills: Can you remember the routine you learned this morning? Maybe a bit of practice will help. And chances are, your dragon could use a refresher and maybe the weyrling in the cot next to you could too.
- Dragon Care: Feeding, bathing, oiling, mucking. These are lifetime chores, and you'll probably become good at them rapidly; you'll have a lot of practice!
- Woops!: Anyone who is learning something new is bound to make mistakes. Your character and your dragon are no different! Mistakes and flaws can make RP a lot of fun, so feel free to include some in your RP. Weyrlinghood continues to be wrought with chance for scraps and bruises and sore muscles, particular as exercise and ground drills begin to challenge both rider and dragon. Feel free to play these minor injuries at whim - anything that won't affect your character or dragon's ability to perform all the tasks of weyrlinghood! If you would like to have a more serious injury, please +mail the WLM team.
Vignette Ideas
- Disagreement between rider and dragon
- How are you coping with the new ground drills? Is your character good at drills? What if there's a difference between the dragon's ability and the weyrling's? Is there a bit of a rivalry showing up between you and one of the (N)PC weyrlings?
- Reflect on how busy things are and all the things you'd like to be doing instead of mucking or running around the bowl. How does your dragon feel about these possible passtimes?
