Creation 14

[Phone! For the first time, Mayfield, have an irritated-sounding Cynric.]

Mayfield, I know that you send people home all the time, but if I am to remain here, can the interesting ones at least stay with me? It's not often famous composers of opera roll into your life, and that you might be given the chance to be the lead of the opera he is composing.

[A pause.] But that's the way things go. Even outside of Mayfield. Being permanently droned is the closest we have to death, after all.

If anyone had been getting voice lessons from Mr. Salieri, I would be glad to offer in his place. I have centuries of practice and knowledge so I know you will find me to be a satisfactory instructor. My name is Cynric; feel free to contact me.

[With that, he hangs up. Not!family or visitors will find him sitting on the porch and pouting while stuffing his face with red licorice. Hephaestus, his dodo, is beside himself as he can tell there's something wrong with his master, but since they still can't communicate, he doesn't know what. He's flitting about trying to cheer Cynric up.]

Comments

no prob!

Oh, hello Pokey. Yes, would you like some?

[He holds one out to you. Heph trots over to say hi too, of course.]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Naw. I'm not a big licorice fan.

[He sighs in irritation as Heph trots over to him, though he fights back the urge to push the bird away immediately. Though he just stands there, silent for a moment, as if searching for something amazingly comforting to say.]

This place sucks.

wow, my comment is just gone

That is one way to put it, yes. I refuse to let them bother me too much though! I will continue where Mr. Salieri left off. I can't compose, but I still want to bring music to the town.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well-

That's stupid. Music's stupid. Who really cares, especially when we're pretty much in a cage?

....Good luck, I guess. I don't know anything about music.

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

I could always teach you. I'm quite good, if I do say so myself. For voice, anyway.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Er, yeah. I'm not...sure singing is my thing. I mean, I would be totally amazing at it, so....you know. I just want to give a few other people there shot.

[He laughs.] I bet you would be good! If you ever want to learn, I would be more than glad to give you lessons.
