[Phone! For the first time, Mayfield, have an irritated-sounding Cynric.]

Mayfield, I know that you send people home all the time, but if I am to remain here, can the interesting ones at least stay with me? It's not often famous composers of opera roll into your life, and that you might be given the chance to be the lead of the opera he is

[[He'll come by. Cynric was quirky but always seemed happy.

Then there was the dodo.]]

"Hey Cynric, what ha... what is that!?"

[pants_yourmove]

"That's pretty amazing.

Is there anything you can't make?"

[dodo_master]

[He gives you a smug smile.] Of course not! I'm a master. If it's organic, I can create it!

[pants_yourmove]

"Cynric, master of many talents."

[dodo_master]

Jack of all trades, as they say.

[pants_yourmove]

"I'm just okay at a bunch of things. Was it a lot of work or does it just come easy to you?"

[dodo_master]

Oh, much much practice, my friend! I've been spellcasting and singing all my life, and as you know I am quite old.

[pants_yourmove]

"That's true. I'd love to have that much time to perfect something."

[dodo_master]

I consider myself lucky to be alive so long! Not many are afforded such a chance, even amongst spellcasters.

[pants_yourmove]

So you are even amazing among them?

[dodo_master]

I'd like to think so! I've not met many as old as I, or anyone who could do what I do. Doesn't mean they're not out there somewhere, though. A lot of old spellcasters tend to lock themselves away. I never saw a point to that.

[pants_yourmove]

Maybe they're afraid of losing immortality due to an accident? Like accidentally falling down the stairs?

[dodo_master]

Possibly. Most of us aren't immortal as we are ageless. I've only ever met one immortal.

[pants_yourmove]

Oh, what was he or she like?

[dodo_master]

He. Ah, he was still new at it! And very confused. Seemed to think his little potion wouldn't work, you see, but it did. Better than he wanted. When I tried to help him, he got very uppity, and wouldn't tell me what was in the potion. He'll have to figure it out on his own, then!

[pants_yourmove]

Your world is amazing.
