♣ 008 || Action - Voice | Farewell to a Friend

[haring_to_go]

[ Liam took his time fishing out his phone, dreading the conversation to come but knowing he had to make it. But, time held for no man and speak up, Liam did with a slight tremor coloring his voice despite how he attempted to iron it out. ] I'm afraid we've been inundated with feathers thanks to Raven's latest molting spree and the desert. If anyone would care to take them off our hands, it should make a very nice pillow at the least. I'm afraid there won't be any more forthcoming, however, but what we have, is yours.

[ He won't even charge for it. It's just... too many reminders of Gilbert. But it wasn't all sadness, he did have one question of wonder to note. ] Also, these creatures, this... half turtle, half duck; what is it and where did they come from? They're really quite friendly, aren't they? [ A regular boon to an aging soul. He should ask Break if they can adopt one. ]

((ooc: Liam is feeding the turtleducks day old bread out by one of the ponds in Xanadu. Feel free to stumble across him if you'd like a more personal conversation with Liam.))

[An invitation to stumble upon dear Liam? DON'T MIND IF HE DOES. In fact, he's going to sneak up on his unsuspecting prey all stealth-like and make himself comfortable directly beside the fellow.]

What have you got there, Liam?

[haring_to_go]

[ eeeeep! ]

nevermind 2/?

[haring_to_go]

I have nothing--

[haring_to_go]

Jack?

[haring_to_go]

[ THAT'S NOT JACK ]








[ He's human ]

[haring_to_go]

[ OMG IT'S JACK ]

[haring_to_go]

[ Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack ]

[haring_to_go]

[ Jack,the hero of Sablier, Jack.



... and here he was looking like a total idiot. ]

done!

[haring_to_go]

[ ahem ] It's just some bread. Are you here to feed the...ducks as well?

[ He'll share his meager offerings! ]

voice; :D

[beifongbandit]

They're turtleducks, of course. What did you think they were? They're from my world.

voice; eeee!

[haring_to_go]

A hybrid? [ he honestly didn't know what to think of them.


But they are cute. Thankfully, Toph can't see him scratching one under the chin, no pun intended, of course. ] Are they common species or where they breed like this?

[ the mechanics of breeding a turtle and duck together... it confounded his intellect. ]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[...huh.]

They're... kind of cute.

[haring_to_go]

[ Liam considers them for another moment before nodding in agreement. ] I have to admit, they do possess a certain charm. They're quite a bit quieter then the variety I'm used to. [ which of course is what makes it so peaceful. ]

[forhishonor]

...Don't make a pillow out of them.

[ it's....disrespectful. :( ]

[haring_to_go]

[ it's only raven. Better then burning the feathers in Eulogy to the bird. ]

I've set aside a few of the feathers for each of us. Not all of them will be used.

[ he already has one tucked inside his data planner, pressing it for good measure. Gilbert will be missed, but most definitely not forgotten. ]

[errandry]

You keep birds?

[haring_to_go]

[ Liam shakes his head ] Not I, but a friend did. I'm afraid he left and took the bird with him just a few days ago, however. [ such a difficult thing to say, but Liam was often faced with the difficult and the impossible. He will soldier on! ]

[Visiting the creatures in Xanadu is one of Jenny's favorite pastimes. Normally this is in the zoo portion though, she just happens upon the pond where Liam is and catches his question.]

Those creatures, they're lovely! Sadly I've never seen anything like them before or I would know what to call them. We could name them though. Everyone ought to have a name.

[haring_to_go]

[ he startles a little at Jenny. He's really not on his game today. ]

A name? For each one or their species? [ he's warming up to the idea. ]

[candothat]

What is this about a raven and a desert?

[haring_to_go]

[ ah, it was the serious man with the accent. ]

A desert cropped up over night a few weeks past although you have no need to fear being trapped in it. It's gone for now. But, I'm afraid Raven didn't approve of the heat. He was a...

[ pet didn't quite cut it, but Liam couldn't exactly say chain either. ]

He belonged to a friend of mine.

[oceantrauma]

I've never seen ducks like that before. [Ken peers curiously at them. Then turns to Liam with a smile.]

Hello, again. I hope you got out of the predicament you were in last time without incident.

[haring_to_go]

[ urk, just a moment. His glasses seem to be loose. ] Ah, yes... I managed to escape with the help of a few friends.

[ poor Gilbert, poor Break. None of them got out of there unscathed. ]

[ ahem ] I believe they're called turtleducks. [ Toph was a wealth of information. ]

[knaveswitness]

Giving out raven feathers, what are we- beggars?

[haring_to_go]

[ Liam's lips thinned into a line at that. Must you be so difficult about this? ] I'm merely clearing house. I'd best have it go to someone in need then in the rubbish pile.
