Dawn heaved, and tugged at the five cylinder engine, but after several minutes of labor and absolutely no progress, surrendered to the forces of gravity and friction. "Well, that's out of the question." She said, flitting about for a backup plan. "And no way this little thing could pack enough punch." She mused, tossing to the side a tiny battery case. "This..." She paused, as she looked upon the next object, her face lighting up like a predator finding slow-moving prey. "This will do nicely."

[Choice C] With a heave and a grunt, Dawn pulled the tubes of copper coil to the fore. "Now, all I need to do is give it a little spark. No shortage of that around here."

Just think of the power it could produce! On the other paw, and despite numerous efforts, Eisa can’t shift it. She tries with planks, she tries with wheels, she tries building legs on to it where it is (they catch fire and fall apart), she tries stealthily harnessing it to an inattentive Ridgeback. Unfortunately he notices and they wind up having a brief argument while Eisa hangs upside-down from his nose waving a half built bridle. After all that she’s exhausted and discouraged and slumps on top of the engine with her crest drooping. The realisation that she’s running out of time causes her to perk up and dive back into the mountains of parts. A hamster wheel? Well, it doesn’t look like much, but she’s always been fond of ember mice. Maybe she can catch one? It’s not much of a power source, but great things can come from small beginnings. She fans her crest and puffs out her chest. She should know. [b]Choice D for Monday.[/b]

All right Waveskimmer, you can do this. You're a Lightning dragon, remember.

A good night's sleep had helped clear her head, and now Waveskimmer was determined to rebuild her invention before judging began at the end of the World Faire. She still had a week, after all. She could do this. I can do this.

Examining the options before her, she decided that the copper coil-based engine would be best. This was, after all, Lightning Flight territory. There should be no shortage of electricity here.

Static shook his head in dismay. How could he possibly recreate his invention here? With leftover parts! He sighed. All that work, down the drain.

Despondently, he checked over the parts in front of him. Frowning, he shook the little case. He couldn't tell if there was anything actually inside or not. The engine wasn't too heavy for him, but it was much bigger than he needed for his invention. Static picked up the C) three tubes with copper coiled inside. Looks like it uses electricity to run.

Hmm... those had a lot of potential. His specialty was electricity and this was closest to his original design, out of the parts in front of him.

@Stanzascale
If you mean lodging for the night. I'm sure there's hotels or such around, but they'd probably be booked if you only started looking for a room on your arrival. There are a couple of hotels that offered rooms to dragons participating in the events, but last I checked the last rooms for those filled up around the time of the Ice festival. Many dragons who come to Thundercrack can find lodging within many of the clans in the region. For the most part (that I've met) Lightning dragons are very kind and welcoming, so long as they know your motives. Many dragons have a link to at least one lightning dragon, so staying with a friend of a friend is usually the preferred choice. Another option for the people visiting the inventing faire is to stay within the building. On the upper floor a couple of the rooms are open and stocked with blankets and pillows of all sizes. Food should not be an issue, as there is a 24/7 convenience mart on the eastern part of the lower floor.

If it hadn't shown up she would have gladly worked throughout the night looking for parts. Her sensitive eyes would have been able to pick out the different parts easier.

She pauses, "And all the yelling I would get if I so much as tried to invent something with such a large engine," Huffing in annoyance that she is hesitate to use the engine, even though [i]no one[/i] from her clan is here to see her use it.

Once free, she scrambles towards the case and picks it up. Glad it is on the small and light side so she can easily make her way back to the Faire.
