Out Of Character
While the weyrlings were preparing their straps, the drudges thoroughly cleaned out the now-empty weyrs of the older weyrlings who had recently returned to Benden Weyr to complete their training. Once they were cleaned out, H'lee took the Tundra weyrlings up the gorge where they would be living once they had passed their flight tests.
"Take a look along the cliffs, here, you'll see where the weyrs have been dug. Pick out four you'd like to look more closely at, you can let your dragons go up and look first, before you pick them out. Once you've selected the ones you want to look at, let us know and one of us will take you up."
There are two cliff faces like the one show above. One faces east, the other faces west. To name your selections, the rows are letters, so you can pick from the following:
A1, B1, C1, C2, D1, D2, E1, E2, E3, F1, F2, F3, G1, G2, G3, G4, H1, H2, H3, and H4
Add and "E" or a "W" after the number to name whether you're picking one on the east *facing* wall (e.g. A1E), or the west *facing* wall (e.g., H3W).
First Post: Picking a weyr based on vertical and horizontal location and whether it faces east or west.
Deadline: Saturday, 10/20
Next Post: Sunday, 10/21 - selecting a weyr based on the layout choices.

K'so & Qancith
Today, it was K'so thinking, Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! They were going to pick out their weyrs today. Of course, they couldn't move in until they'd passed their flying tests, but still.
H'lee led them up to the gorge that held the weyrs and told them to pick four choices.
It is going to be cold soon? the blue asked.
Yes, winter. And there will be snow. It's like the ice on the glacier, except softer.
Does this 'snow' melt in the sun?
K'so smiled. It does. I think I know where you're going with this...
One of the upper weyrs. It's always warmer in the afternoon, so we should get one that gets sun that time of day.
K'so rolled his eyes. There's a surprise... Qancith snorted at him, not seeing any need for sarcasm in the face of his inarguable logic.
Of course, K'so didn't mind the idea of a western-facing weyr, either. That meant he wouldn't have sunlight in his face first thing in the morning. Maybe he could even sleep in once in a while...
"I'm interested in A1W, B1W, C1W, and C2W," he stated calmly, not needing any time to think about them beyond the brief conversation he and Qancith had had.
