Where is the Junior Weyrwoman?

Hattie — Sun, 20 May 2012 14:26:25 +0000

Rumors have been circling in the last few days: where is that junior weyrwoman? Normally Isyath is a fixture in the skies above Fort Weyr, her golden figure almost constantly spotted circling above. However, both she and Ali have been noticeably absent of late. Some have even spotted six-Turn-old Jessimi proudly sporting the knot of a Fortian junior weyrwoman, which she claims she found on the bowl floor.

Is Ali hiding out, with the release of the prisoner? Was she involved in what happened to Hattie? Did N’muir actually throw her out? Is she being sent on some sort of trade for a High Reaches goldrider? Has she been sent to Boll as payment in exchange for return of tithes? All these rumors are making the rounds, though just how true they are is anyone’s guess.

Prisoner Released

Day 22 of month 10, word got round that Orialu had been released from the cells and not, as many were assuming would happen, sent away from the Weyr. Her release suggests that she’s not been convicted of anything despite the wild and varied accusations rumoured to have been flung at her, though, given the fate of the last person to be convicted of a crime, are the Weyrleaders just trying to play down and rehabilitate this one?

Mere hours after the cells became empty, a gold firelizard was discovered dead in the crafters’ workrooms, impaled by a large shard of blue glass.

Promotion

Day 22, Month 10: Given there has been no shortage of problems piling up on the Weyrleader’s shoulders, it’s unsurprising that N’muir promoted one of his wingriders to assist current Wingsecond, Ol’vae, in leading Hematite. What might be surprising is that he promoted brownrider E’dre – the same wingrider who punched him in the face last Turn. Time will tell how the promotion will effect Hematite, and whether N’muir and E’dre have truly set aside their differences.

Assistant Weyrlingmaster Fired?

For the few days following the accident, Ebeny continued to hold weyrling classes, though must have either refused to or been instructed that she was /not/ to hold any classes involving firestone. The greenrider was unnaturally subdued and overly-anxious the whole time, with Laurienth’s participation minimal due to her injury, and, on the morning of day 7, month 10, Ebeny simply didn’t turn up to take /any/ classes. Any who’ve seen her will have noticed that she’s no longer wearing her assistant weyrlingmaster knot and her jacket is sporting Jasper’s emblem again. Did she quit? Was she fired? Is it temporary?

Without another weyrlingmaster to take her place, classes will have to be reshuffled to allow the remaining weyrlingstaff to take on her timetable as well. Some weyrlings have joked that they’ll run classes themselves. Whatever the outcome, things are going to be a little chaotic for a while.

Weyrlings Injured

Hattie — Sat, 12 May 2012 22:24:55 +0000

Midday of day 4, month 10, the panicked and pain-filled voice of one of the weyrling dragons, green Ryerith, reached out wordlessly to every Fort dragon. The chaos in the southern bowl soon revealed that an accident had occurred during the weyrling dragons’ first attempts to produce a flame: Ryerith had severely burned her own rider /and/ other dragons. Aislara, Ryerith’s rider and the youngest of the weyrling class, was soon removed to the Infirmary, unconscious and with burns covering her chest, one shoulder and her back. It remains to be seen whether Aislara will survive and whether Ryerith will cope with the healing process if she does, especially since she seemed moments from Between during her frantic mental contact.
