♣ 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?

[ 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. ]

voice;

[beifongbandit]

It's your animals that are weird. Why would you want half-creatures, anyway?

Of course they come like that.

[baitswitch]

[Ohhhhhh Liam. If only you knew. Your hero worship is sadly misplaced. IN ANY EVENT, Jack cheerfully accepts his portion of the bread and starts tearing it into manageable pieces. He even eats a piece himself.]

My original intent was to find an adventure, but this will more than suffice. I've never seen creatures quite like these before!

[Time to start flinging the bread!]

voice;

[haring_to_go]

[ he'd feel rubbed the wrong way, but he's too melancholy for outbursts. ]

I see... Where I'm from, turtles belong to the sea and ducks to the air. Roasted duck is actually a fair delicacy in the right hands.

... You don't eat them, do you? [ that would be a crying shame. ]

voice;

[beifongbandit]

[ That's okay, Liam. Toph is great at getting people out of their melancholy. Well, sort of. ]

Eat them? Nooooo. They're pets. I take care of them sometimes. They belonged to a friend of mine, but he left.

[ adjkl don't fling the bread! What if Jack were to knock a turtleduck out? :( ]

[haring_to_go]

[ ... HOLD IT IN LIAM ] I haven't either, but the mix is ingenious. [ and cute ]

Do you... often look for adventures? [ what a rare opportunity to dig into the man named Jack. He must remember every single word that is said! ]

[Video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[...huh.]

They're... kind of cute.

[forhishonor]

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

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

[errandry]

You keep birds?

[baitswitch]

Hmm, but do turtles and ducks have much in common?

[POOR TURTLEDUCK, WE KNEW YOU WELL. Don't think he doesn't notice your distress, Liam. He will toss the bread instead of flinging it, how's that?]

I'm not one for idleness, you see. Not to mention I'd rather find the adventure before it finds me unprepared.

[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]

I suppose they do share a love for water and submerging their heads in it. [ he hadn't thought much of the issue before now. And yes, that's a perfectly good compromise. So long as the turtleduck lives. ]

But have you not heard of the adage: "If you go looking for trouble, you'll find it?" I would think you've had enough adventures to last a life time. [ and he rather wishes it were not the case. ]

voice;

[haring_to_go]

[ Every attempt counts for something, even the failed ones. ]

Oh? Then these are all yours I take it? [ there's quite a few turtleducks just sitting in the pond. There's far too many to fit in the bathtub. ]

[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. ]
