A rather chubby girl was heaving a trunk through the entrance to the female Barracks. Her shoulder-length brown hair was done up in a runner tail, so it wouldn't get in her way. Struggling with the heavy box, Chera finally set it down with a thump. Glad that she had made it, she tossed herself down onto the bed she had chosen. She wasn't very strong, and simply the effort of moving her belongings from where she used to live and into the Barracks had exhausted her. Chera would wait awhile before unpacking. For now, she would relax.
Vissou was struggling to get his trunk into the Barracks. He was a pack rat, and though the trunk was heavy even when empty, all the extra things he had put into it were giving it added weight. Now regretting not taking up his father's offer to help him, he slowly dragged it along the ground. Suddenly, a bright idea occurred to him. He was strong enough, maybe he could lift the trunk up. That would make things go a little faster. Vissou strained to lift the box, then took a few steps. Being extremely clumsy, though, he placed one foot in front of the other, and tripped. Though Vissou was not hurt, his trunk had opened in the fall, spilling the hastily packed contents all over. Muttering every curse he knew, Vissou began to pick the items up.

Jakel noticed a boy struggling to get his things to the barracks. Then the boy tripped, spilling his items everywhere. Jakel laughed. "Sorry. Need help?" He offered, placing his hand out so that he could help the boy stand up.

Vissou blushed, but accepted the boy's hand. "Thanks." he muttered. "I would appreciate help. There's a lot of stuff that I packed, and now most of it's scatterred around here."

Jakel laughed. "I think you packed a bit too much." He pulled the boy to his feet. He walked over and knelt down, and then he began to pick up the boy's belongings. "I am Jakel. Are you a candidate as well?" He questioned hopefully.

"Yes, I'm a Candidate. I don't think I have a good chance at Impressing, though. I'm Vissou, by the way." Vissou said, picking up three shirts and stuffing them in his trunk.

"Of course you do. Everyone has the same chance at impressing, even Decir." Jakel burst out laughing. He dropped the clothes he had been holding as he tried to stop. After about a minute he stopped and picked up the clothes again. "Sorry." He rubbed his hair with embarresment, before putting the clothes in Vissou's trunk.

"It's okay. Who's Decir?" Vissou asked, picking up one shoe and putting it back in. He started to look around the floor, trying to find the other one.

Jakel grabbed the rest of Vissou's stuff and put it back. "Don't worry. You will meet him soon enough." Jakel laughed and led him towards the boy's side.

Vissou frowned pensievely at Jakel's cryptic reply, but said nothing. What was so bad about Decir? Was he mean, like other Weyrbrats had been? Or was he like Vissou, made fun of unfairly because of some flaw?

Viron stepped into the barracks, holding only a small case with extra clothing. So... the Candidate barracks? He thought, looked around at the other Candidates. "Hello, I'm Viron, glad to meet you." He said, walking up to Jakel. "And your name is..." Viron said, waiting for an answer.

Viron waited for an answer from any of the Candidates. His hair blew up slightly, and his eyes sparkled.

Jakel smiled. "I am Jakel. Guess there are many new candidates." He laughed.
((I am dead right now. Normally I would wait for inspiration but I don't want to make you wait any longer.))

"A long time. I was one of the first male candidates." He boasted. He stood tall and tried to sound important, but burst out laughing. He could never keep a straight face. "Sorry, I never was the best at this." He said through laughs.

Viron let out a small giggle. "So, I've alot to learn before the Hatching, do I?" Viron said flipping down on a bed. "I think I'll like it here. After we're done this, the weyrling barracks await some of us. You can never be sure your going to get a dragon." Viron said, having a small daydream.

Vissou nodded to the boy that approached him and Jakel. "My name's Vissou." he said, slightly hurt that the boy had ignored him. At least his stuff was all back again. He would never try to pack that much into one trunk ever again.

Viron looked over at the other boy. "Sorry, I didn't see you, I'm Viron, a new candidate." Was all he said, keeping it simple.

Vissou nodded. "It's alright. I'm Vissou. I'm not exactly 'new', since I've always lived at the Weyr, but this is my first time being a Candidate."

"I was Searched recently." Viron said, nodding. His hair fell into his eyes, and he pushed it out of the way. "Do any of you know how soon the Hacthing will be? I want to have time to get used to the Weyr."
