017- [action] And things are quiet once again....

[This week in mayfield had been especially rough on everyone. Hitler was no exception. Since the only other person in his house was a robot, he'd decided it was safer to drink the milk himself. So he went down every morning, snagged a bottle, and hid in his room. Every day. And every day, he'd gotten the poison. So he'd been dead for most of the

[ After the rough week with the milk, Firo's taking the day off work to relax in the park. He spots Hitler sewing and strolls over. ]

What're you doin'?

[springtime4me]

[He smiles, and holds one up.]

I'm making these. They're called 'Almighty Dollies.' It's kind of like a good luck charm back where I come from.

[justdumbluck]

'Almighty dollies?'

[ He leans in closer to take a look at it, laughing a bit at the name. ]

What is it, a sheep or somethin'?

[springtime4me]

That's right.

I'm making them because, after this week, I feel like people could use a little luck.

[justdumbluck]

[ He winces, recalling the various milk-related ordeals ]

You're probably right about that. But I'm not really sure how useful a fancy sheep would be in that department.

[springtime4me]

You'd be surprised. At the very least, I find it comforting to have one.

And so far, all the people I've given them to seem to really like them.

[justdumbluck]

[ He shrugs ]

I guess if you can get murdered by milk, why can't ya get saved by a sheep?

[ Firo gives the sheep an absent-minded poke, then looks back at Hitler. ]

You're pretty good at sewin'. What's your name?

[springtime4me]

Thank you.

[And he holds back a sigh and braces for the inevitable discussion.]

My name is Adolf Hitler.

[justdumbluck]

[ Fortunately for Hitler, that name isn't as infamous in 1930. Firo smiles. ]

Nice ta' meet'cha, Adolf. I'm Firo Prochainezo.

[springtime4me]

[Hmmm.... Hitler's met a few people who either aren't from earth or are from alternate realities or whatever. It's strange, but not unheard of in Mayfield.]

Likewise.

[He holds up the most recently finished sheep.]

Would you like one?

[justdumbluck]

Huh?

You don't mind partin' with it?

[springtime4me]

Of course not. I was planning to give most of them away anyway. Good luck should be shared, right?

[justdumbluck]

That's really nice of you.

Do ya mind if I pass this onto somebody else? I'll tell 'em who it came from. I think they need it more than I do.

[springtime4me]

Not at all. What color ribbon would you like for them?

[justdumbluck]

Thanks! Whatever you got is fine. Luck is luck, right?

[springtime4me]

Alright...

[Hmm... he's done green, blue, and black already today. So how about red? And he'll pair that with a little golden bell.]

Here you go.
