Scorpion Den Orphanage

## Letter to Reader

*Dear Reader,*

*Welcome to our Orphanage, and our home!*

*We have rooms for rent, and rooms for free; the free rooms **do not** have room service, nor do they have daily room cleaning, while the paid-for rooms do.*

*As we are an orphanage, we have plenty of wards. We would greatly appreciate you donating food, water, or other supplies, but this is not necessary.*

*You may have noticed the experiment eggs. We are keeping them in our closest approximation of their original containers because we are unaware of their abilities an do not wish to die a painful death if one of them goes berserk. You never know.*

*Hope you enjoy your stay!*

***Sting, Shimmer, and Grace***

## Q+A

Please ask questions by writing them here behind a 'Q:'

Q: Who runs the Orphanage?

A: While many of us live here, Grace, Hecate, Sting, and Shimmer run the Orphanage; Sting teaches the adoptees how to fight for themselves, persuade others, steal, and freerun, Shimmer teaches them math and history, and how to read, write, and do figures, Grace protects and trains them in combat, while Hecate does the paperwork.

Q: I'm new, and I was wondering if when I get an adoptee, if I can keep them here.

### Experiments

* ~~This little dragonet sits in a solitary confinement room with the warning, DO NOT INTRODUCE TO OTHERS. it is black and yellow, like a bee. It appears to be a HiveWing with extraordinarily long, glittering wings which reflect a prismatic display of colors so bright they shine on the walls. Her scales are polished, her black claws are shining, cute little pure gold eyes staring at you. Wait, pure gold eyes? You notice eight hulking dragon-things with many glittering eyes and long claw-blades waiting in each corner, guarding this Experiment. It tilts its head toward you. She sneezes a cloud of...dust? no, tiny insects which buzz angrily at the window. You read the info placard next to the viewing window which reads:~~
* This dragonet is a shimmering beauty, made of gold. It is in a drab little mud cell with mud and slime dripping from the walls. there seems to be dragon bones littering the ground, but you can't tell if they are what they seem to be. It has odd glyphs written all over it and as you look closer you can see the glyphs are inlaid with jade, onyx, coral, and turquoise. Its eyes are light blue.
* This dragonet looks like a perfectly normal deep silver-blue SeaWing, except for one thing: The eyes. their eyes are green and blue, and are insectiod, with facets. It's cell is a stone cave with a pool filled with gloworms at the end. Its placard
* A small SilkWing sits quietly in a corner, with quiet lavender scales and green wings. She looks up at you, and you see her eyes don't have whites, but blacks, with an iris of magenta.
* A tiny SkyWing the size of a hummingbird flits around, little wings burning with red and orange flames. It seems to enjoy sleeping in fires.

### Eggs

* Five eggs sit in a glass tank with pustules bubbling like an angry stew. There are warnings plastered in the corner:  (BIOHAZARD LEVEL 4, RADIOACTIVE, TOXIC, LETHAL...).They look like extra large pustule-bubbles, glowing a sickly green with a thin reddish membrane. (take as many as you want.)
* This egg sits in a transportation cooler marked HAZARDOUS. It has silvery spikes sticking up all over it and seems to be covered in some sort of...bluish goo. There is a tiny hole in its shell, and the creature inside is angrily grumbling and growling
* Five egg sit in a tiny hatchery. They appear to be made of different kinds of metal:
	+ One is steely blue-gray, and shimmers with circular patterns.
	+ One is coppery red, catching the lit and glowing with hidden fire.
	+ One glows with a almost magical silvery gleam.
	+ One glitters gold, and attracts your attention no matter where you look.
	+ One seems to be made of a light-absorbent black alloy.
* This egg is pure black. it seems to warp time and space around it and suck all light into itself. It is sitting in a bomb chamber.
* This egg sits in a little rainforest play area, with large leaves forming a hammock from which it is swinging gently. It is shimmering with rainbows, and as you get nearer, it begins humming a tune that makes you sleepy.
* This egg floats in the air, bobbing as you poke it. It's a matte light gray, and it seems to be happy.
* This egg bounces playfully on the ground. It's smooth, with light green speckled blue on its shell.
* ~~This egg is cyan, with cybernetic armor clanking around its shell to protect it from you. The armor tracks you, keeping the side you're facing of the egg protected. it sits on a steel table with a glass box on top.~~ Claimed by FangWoF
* This egg continually makes weird growling, purring noises. It's eye-wateringly purple and sits in a wind tunnel.
* This egg continually shoots tiny pellets of metal at you which bounce off its force field surronding it. It's fuchsia.
* This egg bounces violently around in the tiny cage it's been confined to. It is sea-foam green.
