Creation 13

[dodo_master]

Hmph. Well. I-If this is your idea of a joke, Mayfield, I don't like it! Christmas is no time for cruel pranks. And I don't believe this for a second, anyway. Of course my sons would want to see me. They would never say such things!

I'm sure of this.


[He doesn't sound so confident. But Cynric hangs up the phone, and sits down near the tree and the gift he was given. Inside was the severed heads of his sons. He can't stand to open it again. Even if he thinks this is a joke, it's still tough to deal with and he's not sure what to do. Family members will find him there, looking angry and unsure of what to do.]

[[OOC - Like a lot of you, I'll be busy IRL with holiday hijinks. I'll do my best to tag around and post with all my characters later tonight or tomorrow! Merry Christmas, all.]]

[Ringo is blessed with the gift of coal, which bothers her until she stumbles on Cynric by the tree and realises he isn't doing so well.]

I... I take it your present was worse than coal?

[He gets in between you in the box.]

Indeed. Another of Mayfield's awful tricks. Still, it's nothing a young lady should be witness to. I'll... I'll take care of it somehow.

[befriendthewolf.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't make a move to get closer to the box.]

It's fine... Is there anything I can do to help?

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

I don't think there's much anyone can do, but I appreciate the offer. I feel like I should bury it, but the ground is frozen now.

[befriendthewolf.livejournal.com]

Oh... [That kind of present.] Maybe there's an empty building you could stash it in?

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. I'd hate to have someone else stumble across it though. I should probably just hide it for now. Maybe tomorrow it will just go away. Mayfield tends to do things like that.

Otherwise... I may have to burn it. [He doesn't look too happy about that. Even if it's not real...]

[befriendthewolf.livejournal.com]

True... Hopefully it'll be gone, or... the town has to have a, uhm, garbage dump.

Burning might be too big of a hassle.

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

But it might be the only proper way to dispose of it. Damn Mayfield putting me through such a decision! [He sighs.]

[befriendthewolf.livejournal.com]

I think you'd be fine waiting... won't the town turn back to normal?

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

Hopefully. I may take a few days, if it doesn't happen overnight. I should probably seal this up, then. The smell will get atrocious.

You didn't get anything terrible, did you?

[befriendthewolf.livejournal.com]

I could pick up some tape, if you need it.

Just coal. I guess... I was lucky, compared to you.

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

I might need more than that. Perhaps some sheets to wrap it in...

Just coal? Interesting. Indeed, you did get lucky.

[befriendthewolf.livejournal.com]

I'm sure this place has extra sheets stashed around.

This town doesn't seem to function in any logical way... Coal shouldn't be the lucky result.

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

Things are often like this here. While what I got was bad, I'm sure there are those out there who got much worse!

[befriendthewolf.livejournal.com]

So I've heard... It was a bit hard listening on the phone, earlier.
