Subject: Week 6

This is your last week of weyrlinghood, congratulations!

What's happening with your dragon this week:
Not much, they're all grown up!

What's happening in class this week:
1. Between! All of you should now be comfortable with manned flights, and will have been doing elevator duty for a while. This means it's time for the next step - learning to between. It's at
this point that the class is most likely to lose a member, so S'ver, his assistants, and anyone involved in the class will be pretty solemn and serious about the whole thing, and after the talks about all the
weyrlings who've been lost, so will you be, too. S'ver will be telling you detailed stories about the names, ages, personalities, likes, dislikes and families of some of the weyrlings who've been lost, in an attempt to hammer into every brain, human and draconic, that it could happen to YOU if you don't concentrate very hard during these lessons. Once you're done with learning to between, you can leave the weyr in pairs, but definitely not break rules, not overnight, only for short visits places. An hour or two. You'll still have plenty of other duties to fulfil!

2. New weyrs! You should be moving in - in your spare time, you'll still be decorating, setting up, finding stuff from the storage caverns and generally moving in. Weyr-warming parties are by
all means allowed and encouraged, but remember, no alcohol, and if you're doing betweening the next morning, make sure you get some sleep!

3. We're going to try and get some riders in to talk to you (or post blurbs, since there are 10 of you, and the odds of getting everyone in the same place at the same time...) about what the wings are like,
their duties, what's involved.

RP ideas for this week:
1. Betweening!

2. More hunting lessons, if you haven't managed them yet!

3. Weyr warming parties, decorating, hunting down old furniture and hangings from the storage caverns.

4. Graduation approaches -- try and speak to some riders about what's involved in the different wings, think about where you'd like to be!

OOCly, we'll be organising graduation dates any day now.

5. Contemplate your freedom, laze around a bit. You're at that final part of your weyrlinghood where those who are behind are madly catching up, and the majority of the class are relaxing. You know,
those final few days of school where there's no real point in starting anything much? That's where you are. This is your last chance to learn anything you're not sure of. You'll now be off elevator duty, and
older riders might be asking you to run the odd errand for them to another Hold or Weyr. Be on your best behaviour!

Homework:
One final weyrling-related log to xaweyrlings@yahoogroups.com -- remember, you need this to graduate!
