[Whatever just happened, Cynric's not sure. He woke back up in the *better* town, and he's glad for that ( Read more... )

[Pokey was continuing doing his rounds of the neighborhoods to map the town. He'd been trying to keep himself from getting distracted, but it was proving a difficult. Being a nosy little bastard ran in his very blood.

So it was no wonder that he was intrigued by the sight of Cynric trying to open a crate on his front doorstep.]

Hey. You're the guy who sucked at finding subversives, right? What're you doing?

dodo_master July 10 2010, 18:14:02 UTC

Oh! Yes. Sort of. [He frowns a moment. Apparently he did a good job at it, but all it got him was trouble.] Cnyric! You were... Pokey?

This was just delivered to me! Hephestus is in there, I think, but I can't seem to understand him. Quite strange.

[Some cooing noises come from inside the box, as if the world's largest pigeon was contained inside. Cynric almost had it open at this point.]

godisachild July 10 2010, 18:16:09 UTC

Yeah. Pokey Minch. Don't forget it.

[The boy came closer to the box, putting his ear against it. He looked up at the man with a mixture of puzzlement, entertainment, and agitation.]

...It's some kinda giant bird. Of course you can't understand it. Birds don't speak English.

dodo_master July 10 2010, 18:21:37 UTC

I'll try not to!

Oh yes, but I speak Hephestus! And he speaks Cynric. Mostly thanks to magic. Which I don't have now. That must be it! [With that, he pries loose the last nail, and the side of the crate pops off. And out flaps Heph, stretching his stubby wings and cooing loudly. Cynric looks thrilled, and pets his head. The big bird is over half Cynric's size.]

There's a boy! You're safe now!

[[WALKING BY, UNAWARES,

DRESSED IN FULL ARMOUR

this cannot go well]]

dodo_master July 10 2010, 18:37:05 UTC

[Cynric is trying to build a house for Heph, but it's sort of just... a crooked proto-doghouse or something.

AND THEN A ROBOT WALKS BY. He won't recognize you in all that armor of course, but he watches you go by wide-eyed. He then runs up to the fence.]

Amazing! So amazing! This is most definitely better than that other town, for sure!

steel_massifail July 10 2010, 18:38:23 UTC

[[He turns towards him, and just. Sort of waves.]]

Hi, Cynric. Um. How are you?

dodo_master July 10 2010, 18:42:27 UTC

[The voice!] You! From the school! Oh, you've changed a lot! You've got wings!

[Kinds of mopes on past, but stops once she catches sight of the huge-ass dodo.]

"...Whoa!"

dodo_master July 11 2010, 03:29:36 UTC

[The bird looks up and squawks at Dawn. It seems pretty pleasant. This catches Cynric's attention.]

Ah! He's saying hello! I'm fairly certain anyway.

noneed_2worry July 11 2010, 03:45:59 UTC

[Smiles and pats him on the head.]

"What's his name?"

dodo_master July 11 2010, 03:58:15 UTC

[Heph coos and flaps his stubby wings. He does love attention.]

Hephestus! You know, like the god. Roman god. No, Greek! Greek god of craftsman and technology!

[Zevran exits their house and...finds himself staring at something which, for lack of a better description, he has to classify as a bird. We'll say he already opened his own package earlier - a post I will be making as soon as I get official word on his Maipole punishment, sob - so Cynric may or may not notice that his not!dad's ears are distinctly elvish in nature now.] That...is quite a large bird.

dodo_master July 11 2010, 03:31:11 UTC

Yes, he is! Dodos grew to be about 3 feet tall.

[Cynric looks at Zevran, and cocks his head.] You look different. Don't tell me: haircut?

rogue_crow July 11 2010, 21:02:46 UTC

Dodos...? Never heard of them. [He studies Hephestus speculatively.] Big enough to be dangerous. Are they?

[At the mention of his changed appearance, he grins, a hand moving up to lightly trace the pointed outer edge of an ear. It's strange how much he missed being an elf, given that the differences were no more than cosmetic and psychological, but...he did.] Keep trying.

hur hur I finished that too quickly dodo_master July 11 2010, 22:11:00 UTC

[Heph sees a new person approach and happily squawks at him, flapping his stubby little wings. Cynric shakes his head.]

Goodness, no! Heph wouldn't hurt a fly. Dodos went extinct, you know, because they're so docile! Humans showed up and killed them all off. Terrible thing. So I made my own! Lovely creature, really.

[Oh, the ears! Cynric grins.] You've never had those before! Did you? Very nice!
