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.]]

[SUP HEPHAESTUS]

[idkmybfforin.livejournal.com]

[This seems to be a pigeon. A very large and very strangely shaped pigeon with stubby wings.

Okuu has landed on one of Mayfield's innumerable pretty picket fences to investigate this giant feathery not!pigeonthing.]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Well, okay, Pokey wasn't expecting the dodo in his garage when he came out to start doing some work. It's not the worst surprise he's gotten in town, not by a longshot, but a surprise it is.]

Hey! Hey!

[And he'll go over to try and wave the bird out after he opens the garage door.]

C'mon! Shoo!

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

[Heph is currently making a mess of someone's recently raked leaves by running in and out of the piles. HURRAY!]

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

[Well this garage was boring until Pokey showed up. He knows you! Instead of leaving, he's coming over to merrily greet you, squawking.]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Well, okay, even though he knows you Heph its still kind of freaky having you just wobble on over to him without Cynric there. He knows you probably aren't dangerous, but it's still bizarre. He just kind of sighs in annoyance and flinches as the bird squawks.]

Yeah, yeah, I bet you're all kinds of excited. Just calm down and be quiet a bit, alright?

How could I say no to a face like that, Heph?

[myblimpisbigger.livejournal.com]

[There is a dodo in his living room. Why there is a dodo in his living room, Klaus doesn't know, but he's trying to work on his report about the mental and social patterns of young drone children and Heph is probably trying to help and Heph is failing.]

How did you even get in?

[idkmybfforin.livejournal.com]

[Utsuho watches him for a little bit, and then caws in the creature's direction.]


What are you doing?

he's so happyyyyy

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

[The dodo's not even quite sure how he got there. But that's okay, there's someone here now! And of course he's helpful by circling around your feet looking up at you curiously. My, you're big.]

the best way for a dodo to be!

[myblimpisbigger.livejournal.com]

[Yes. Over seven feet tall, but who's counting (since it seems to fluctuate with every few comic pages, herp derp)? At least this means he's grounded enough to not trip over you, you big fluffy ball of annoying. Enjoy being nudged with one Mayfield-provided patent leather shoe instead.]

Go away.

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

[Of course he is. He usually is. But you don't seem to be, so he sort of cocks his head in confusion. Where's the love?]

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

[Heph's head suddenly pokes out from under a pile of leaves, looking around. When he sees you, he flaps his stubby wings which send leaves everywhere. He squawks and coos back at you.]

These are a lot of fun! I thought maybe there was something buried in it, but there isn't. I wonder why they're piled up like this.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Oh, come on. Don't look at me like that.

[Oh Jesus, is he honestly arguing with a bird? This is pathetic, for god's sake....]

...You want something to eat?

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

[He looks confused as he's pushed away. Why did you do that? He squawks at you, confused.]

[myblimpisbigger.livejournal.com]

[Sfjosdfj FINE. Klaus puts down his papers and notes (somewhere high up, he doesn't want Heph to try 'helping' and damage them). If you're not going to go away, by gum, the least he can do is take advantage of having a dodo in his living room.]

Don't you know that your species is supposed to be extinct, not prancing around people's houses? I wonder who revived you.

[And how.]

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

[Oh look, you're setting down the work! Obviously now, you're going to pet him.


Obviously.


He's still waiting, expectantly.]

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

["Eat". Now there's a word he knows. He merrily flaps his stubby wings and squawks again.]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Yeah yeah yeah, I hear you. Give me a minute.

[And he'll go inside the house, carelessly leaving the door behind him open. Feel free to follow him in as he rummages through the fridge to find you something, Heph.]

Theta-Albedo-MOMO-Dodo

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

[Theta had left the back door open. She needed it open to let the smoke out after she'd tried cooking. She wasn't pleased at all with Albedo's antics with regards to MOMO, and she was trying to cook better for all of their sakes. The problem was that she wasn't nearly as skilled as Albedo was even when he -wasn't- cooking up to his potential. Now she was sitting on the arm of the couch in the living room, sighing frustratedly as she watched the smoke gradually filter out by the back door.]

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

*Albedo was leaning against the back of the couch near Theta, also watching the smoke perhaps a little smugly.* Cooking doesn't seem to be your forte, my dear.

[myheart-powerup.livejournal.com]

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...

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

[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.]

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

[He indeed does. As you do that, he's going to poke around the kitchen, and to look and see if anyone else his home. Or if maybe this is his home. Nope, doesn't look like it.]

[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.]

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

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?

[myblimpisbigger.livejournal.com]

[It's just. Looking at him. He's used to constructs, or even revived and improved creatures, being capable of some form of speech. Argh.]

Clearly you don't plan to tell me. Come here.

[Oh boy, oh boy! Heph, you're getting not just petted, but picked up! I mean, if you've been improved rather than just ressurected, there may be tell-tale scarring, stitching or other signs that give him a hint as to how it was done.

Mmm, analysis. His favorite thing!]
