[The Doctor is thrilled to find other people who get as enthusiastic about stuff as he does, even if he is out of breath from running.]

A dire wolf, you say? Sounds like it might be dangerous. Interesting birthday tradition - whereabouts around here are you from, good sir?

[Neil is equally thrilled, because finally someone is playing along properly! He stands up straight and clears his throat.]

I am Njål, son of Håvard, of Autumn's Rise! I shall meet the danger with the fortitude of my House. And yourself?

[...Of course he is making this all up. At least he is thorough, if slightly inclined to borrow from novels.]

[Well who is he to restrain creativity?]

Oh, I'm a simple travelling apothecary whose name isn't important. Most just call me the Doctor. [Okay so he's mildly stuck on that name.] Have you found a companion for your hunting... quest?

[Neil is grinning openly. He's going to have to work at it to not break character now.]

My party is but two men at present, but we two shall stand bravely.

[ooc: feel free to threadjack Neil and Stephen getting mobbed by unicorns in the attempt. XD]

Oh, happy birthday, Neil! I'm sorry, but I wasn't sure what to get you for a present...

Oh, are you going on adventure? Is that why you're talking like that? I like it.

Can I come? I've only ever been on one adventure before, and since it was at home, I never got to finish it...

Fear not, m'lady. There is no need for you to worry yourself with bestowing any such gift unto me.

Indeed, adventure is at hand! I should be all the more blessed for your company, but I warn you that the going may be treacherous.

[ooc: Neil and Stephen are out in search of dire wolves, and are being ambushed by unicorns! Feel free to find them at any point.]

But that's an essential part of the birthday process! I'll get you a good present, promise.

[She laughs. Oh yes!]

Don't worry, I have to learn how to deal with treacherous. Besides, I can help if you guys get hurt.

[After all, that's what her magic hair is supposed to be for: Helping people.]

[ooc: :D She's on her way!!]

omg your drawing is adorable. manofgnee June 17 2011, 02:41:08 UTC
I didn't know you LARPed, Neil! That's cool!

Though please clarify what exactly you mean by a 'dire wolf pup'. Because if you're thinking 'dog', I sort of have a lot of those, and while I love them all and they love me, I think they'd still prefer to have their own homes...

ahhhhh, thank you ='D illgrowoutofit June 17 2011, 03:05:16 UTC
[Oh hey, someone who gets what he's doing. Cool!] Aye!

Sire wolves be dogs of a sort, yes. In ancient days they roamed the seven kingdoms far and wide, but they are ancient beasts, believed by some to be extinct... today they live only in the far reaches of the forests. They are the wolf's foregone cousins of old-- much larger, sharper of tooth, and narrower of snout.

:D you're welcome, it's quite adorable. manofgnee June 17 2011, 03:16:02 UTC
...Okay, I wanna see these wolves of old. If you're LARPing, I want in, I've never done it with other people before.

illgrowoutofit June 17 2011, 03:43:11 UTC
You should totally come along!

[Oops. And then he realises.]

...I mean, I would be most appreciative of your assistance, comrade.

Oh, Neil, is it your birthday? I wish I had known earlier. I would have gotten you something.

illgrowoutofit June 17 2011, 03:06:05 UTC
You are very kind, m'lady, but I assure you there is no need. Your friendship is gift enough.

[And he bows.]

OHNEIL. antimonycarver June 17 2011, 03:12:33 UTC
I... I don't think that that is the kind of gift one gives for holidays? [smilegrimace!]

[Annie stares blankly as Neil bows, and then follows it with a small curtsey of her own. It is, perhaps, best to just play along rather than ask questions.]

[Neil highly appreciates the playing along. He beams at her.]

Perhaps, but in all truth, I want for nothing.

What's a dire wolf pup?

[OoC: Who drew that?]

Reply

illgrowoutofit June 19 2011, 05:41:55 UTC
Dire wolves are the wolves of old-- like the common ones you may know, but larger, and sharper of tooth and claw. The pups, simply, are their young.

[ooc: and that'd be me! I am occasionally known to doodle.]

[He listens, with a confused expression, before-] Uh, so, wait, what?

[OoC: Oh my god, that's adorable and almost exactly the style of the comic.]

[Neil tries to think of a simpler way to explain this without breaking character.]

They are... the ancient ancestors of the wolves. They live deep in the forest.

[ooc: Eep, thank you! ='D Maybe I'll use drawings on here more often~]
