Anakumath's clutch was now several days old. For the past few days, the weyrlings had been set to exclusively bonding with and caring for their dragonets. Now it was time to see where they were in terms of their progress. One of the traditional methods to help strengthen the bond between dragonet and rider was to take the weyrlings through a maze while blindfolded, using only their dragonet's sight to make it through. For today's lesson, Weyrlingmaster Z'von was taking a similar and yet different approach.
"Today, you will be working in pairs. Each of your will have a turn guessing what your partner is holding up, using only your dragon's vision to guide you. You will have to see through their eyes alone. To that end, I will be handing out blindfolds and buckets filled with objects. Some of these objects your dragonets may be familiar with, and some they will not be. The goal will be to get as many guesses correct as possible."
It would undoubtedly take practice, of that Z'von was certain. That was exactly as it should be, for he knew full well that the close bond required to excel at this game would be required during future Threadfalls. Gesturing to his assistants to help him, he began to hand out the blindfolds and buckets, one each to for every assigned group. For now he would let them decide who they were working with, but someone would have to pair up with him or an assistant. They did, after all, have an uneven number of weyrlings. "One of you will have to practice with me, or you will need to work in a set of three."

OOC: Using a d10, please roll from the grid below to determine how well your weyrling does in this game! You may choose to RP this in pairs, or simply carry on as though you are playing with a NPC weyrling. If you work together, you will gain an extra +10 pts. The highest score will net you a firelizard! If there's a tie, everyone tied will get a flit. We will also roll from everyone who participated.
Everyone gets to roll 5 times each!
Note: Right now this is the Sins & Virtues kids doing this, but we will also run it again for the NPC clutch.
This will run until next Sunday at 8 PM PST.

Your dragonet doesn't recognize this object, and you can't quite make it out. Clearly you need to spend more time bonding together. -5 pts
This could be a red fruit or a red ball. Your dragonet's vision, while keen, is not quite like your own, and you can't tell which it might be. -2 pts
The other weyrling holds up a playing card - roll a d4 to determine whether or not you're able to make it out. Odds, you succeed and gain +5 pts. Evens, your fail and take -5 pts.
What luck! This is clearly a oiling brush. Your dragonet can recognize this right away. Take +2 pts
This time, your dragonet is able to tell the difference between the red fruit and the ball. +5 pts
While unfamiliar to your dragonet, the shape of a tuber is very easy for you to make out. +3 pts
Based on its shape, this object could be a riding strap or a belt. Roll a d4 to see whether you guess correctly. Evens, you are correct (it is a belt) and gain +3 pts, odds you guess wrong (it is a riding strap) and lose -3 pts.
Your dragon has recognized a sandal. Wonder where they could have seen that before. +2 pts
Although you try very hard to focus, your dragonet's excitement gets in the way and you are not able to tell that this, in fact, is a towel and not a blanket. -3 pts
At first your dragonet cannot quite make out what s/he is seeing, but with your help, s/he recognizes a small pillow. +5 pts
