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.]]

[the dog keeps yapping because what is fun. but now Sealand shows up, and is staring at the bird kind of funny]

What are you, a funny turkey? Roy, shush.

[There's some squawking and flapping from Heph. Alas, he really can't communicate with anyone here, but that never stops him from trying.

He waddles a bit closer, though, to get a better look at you and your strange dog friend.]

[and Sealand squats down to eyeball the dodo from a better angle] You don't do anything weird like shoot lasers, right?

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

[He blinks and cocks his head at you. What the heck is a laser? Sadly no, he's just your run-of-the-mill extinct birdie.]

[micronational.livejournal.com]

[staaaaaare. nope, doesn't look like any lasers. oh well.] Can you fetch like Roy, then?

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

[Oh, he does know that one! Luther back home had taught him that! He dances back and forth on his feet excitedly and flaps his tiny wings.]

[micronational.livejournal.com]

[aw hell yeah. grabbing the ball he uses to do this with Roy and tossing.] Ok, show me what you've got!

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

[He's all excited now! He excitedly makes his way over to the ball, but he's a stumpy bird and he doesn't exactly run fast. But he'll pick it up and drop it off by you, looking awfully proud of himself.]

[this bird is so cool. you get a congratulatory pat on the head!] I've never seen a bird do that before. Did someone teach you?

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

[He squawks at you! This means "yes" but you can take it as you will. Also, headpats make him very happy. You're the new best friend, even if you have a weird dog.]

[micronational.livejournal.com]

[yeeeeah this town can be cool sometimes he guesses.] Do you eat crackers? I've got half a one left over from lunch...

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

[He'll eat almost anything you give him. The promise of food seems to make him even happier.]

[micronational.livejournal.com]

[aaaah, animals are so easy to play with. have at the cracker, little dude] You must be new, I've never seen you around before. You gonna visit me lots?

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

[Most definitely! He flaps his wings excitedly.]

Great! [patpat] And next time bring your friends.
