Creation 12

[dodo_master]

[Beware, Mayfield! There's a dodo on the loose!

Okay, okay. He's hardly anything to be feared. Quite the opposite, really. Hephaestus might be big, but he's really just like an overly-affectionate, 3-foot-tall pigeon. He's trundling about the neighborhood getting into your business! It seems like his master forgot to lock the gate, and ol' Heph has escaped into town.

Heph, being magically created by Cynric, is smarter than the average dodo, but that's not saying too much. He's a lot like his master, what with his love of people and his curiosity. And you might just find him while you're out and about today!

Maybe he's gotten into your house through a door left ajar. Not to mention you left some delicious fruit out on the kitchen table... or maybe he's playing with the fallen leaves in your yard. He might be in the park too, taking a bath in the water fountain. He could be following you down the street because you *obviously* look like someone who is friendly and interesting! You also might have food. Naturally.

Cynric after awhile will be out looking for him, calling out his pet's name. He'll catch up with him sometime in the evening though.]

[[Just mention a scenario in the post, and if you're approaching Heph or Cynric! Thanks.]]

I-I really don't mind pitching in to help with the cooking, Miss Theta! Even without my programming, I-I'm sure I could do it...

[Curious dodo is curious! He's coming into to see what you're all up to. Hey there MOMO, there's now a dodo standing there looking up at you.]

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

No, it most definitely isn't. I'd much prefer it if you'd cook to your -usual- level, Darling.

[She sighs and looks over at MOMO, then blinks in surprise when she sees Hephaestus in the house. She stands and goes over.]

Cynric? [She expects him to be with the dodo.]

Perhaps if the town decides to move Ma Pèche elsewhere. It's quite distracting having Rubedo's little toy around.

*He glances over at the dodo raises an eyebrow as Theta gets up.* An unexpected guest?

Um... Hello there... Can I help you...?

[Heph squawks cheerfully at you in greeting! When he hears Theta's voice, he scoots past you into the kitchen to do the same at her.

Nope, no Cynric in sight.]

[Theta chuckles amusedly when Hephaestus recognises her, and reaches out to give him an affectionate pat. Then she retreats to the couch and her seat on the arm of it, beckoning for the dodo to follow her.]

Hello, Hephaestus. Did you get away from Cynric?

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

*He doesn't move from his spot, but does reach over to rest an arm on Theta's shoulder.* He should be more careful with his pets if he doesn't want to risk them annoying the wrong person.

It's name is Hephaestus? What a nice name! My name is MOMO!

[Look at all this attention! His one thrilled bird. He coos happily at the girls. He hops up on the couch next to Theta. Dodos aren't renowned for their manners.]

[Theta snuggles into Albedo and pats Hephaestus some more. She may or may not be encouraging him onto Albedo's lap so she can get snuggles from her Darling -and- pats for the dodo.]

That's right, MOMO. Do you want to come pat Hephaestus, as well?

[If it weren't for the nasty look she imagines Albedo giving her nigh on immediately when MOMO gets close, they might just pass for a happy family there for a moment.]
