The red-white watch dragon bugles a greeting to all arrivals to the Tripaldi Special Clutch Zone. Proud of his position, the dragon's greetings are numerous as the TSCZ has a newfound popularity and an air of active employment about it after many months of desolation and secrecy. Dragons of spectacular colors are seen coming and going as often as those of 'normal' coloring and on the nearby beach fire lizards in fascinating colors sport in the waves and dance intricate patterns in the air. In the 'Weyrbowl', for the TSCZ functions as an almost separate Weyr, there is a bustle of activity and people coming and going. Most of the people are on foot though and wear the blue lab coats of the FGPC. On one of the queen ledges, with a long staircase leading directly to it from the bowl sits the TSCZ's queen, Ashiyeth. Hatched at the last official FGPC clutch before the move, Xalia gave her rider, Reizlyn, the 'reins' of the TSCZ and the new FGPC to control in her stead. In the bustle of activity there are always weyrbrats to be found, and many of them are employed in helping visitors to find their way around (often more accurately for a coin or other appropriate bribe) and there are now always a plethora of visitors to the TSCZ since it's grand opening with the hatching of the first clutch. And amongst all the chaos of activity there is still Deriam, glaring at the geneticists whenever possible and interviewing dragons for flights. Of course, even while he interviews the rare dragons and their riders there can be seen the occasional 'normal-colored' female landing in the weyrbowl. She is often egg-heavy and will move quickly toward an opening just big enough for her to fit through, followed by several smiling geneticists. When she is seen again she will depart, lighter, slimmer, and more agile, to rejoin whatever wing she was temporarily thrown out of. And such are the happenings of the TSCZ. There are always people around to help, and Reizlyn herself is often available to answer questions, (except of course when she slips away to ride her horse). Stay and explore awhile or come back again when you have more time. There is always much to see and do here at Tripaldi's Special Clutch Zone! |
