OPEN LOG
WHO: MAGNUS BURNSIDES and YOU
WHERE: ALL OVER.
WHEN: Through April!
WHAT: Magnus Burnsides and the TRIP TO THE ANIMAL SHELTER, the SEARCH FOR GOOD WOOD and the FAILED JOB SEARCH.
WARNINGS: Magnificent WILDCARD OPTION is available! Want to set something else up? Just leave a prompt here, or PM me/plurk me @ wisdombitch and I'll set something right up for you guys.
A - THE TRIP TO THE ANIMAL SHELTER
[ After one trip too many to the dog park without a dog of his own, one of the dog owners (who owns the most delightful shih tzu that Magnus ever did see) gently suggested to Magnus that if he loves dogs so much, then maybe it's time for a visit to the shelter. When he had said, a bit woefully, that he doesn't know if he'll be ported out, the owner said that these dogs are homeless anyway, and, well, Magnus didn't try too hard to argue that point.
That said, he was off to the animal shelter. If you happen to be at the shelter, you may see Magnus, towering above the poor attendant showing him around, frozen in front of a line of dogs in cages. Magnus is a rough looking dude, plenty hairy and scarred, but he seems to be having a difficult time blinking back tears. ] All of them need homes? [ He questions, a little querulously. ] But they're all so good! Can I take them all?
[ Or, perhaps, you meet him out at the nearby park, with a bernese mountain dog and a chihuahua in tow. Upon discovering that Magnus was having a hard time choosing, the attendant told him to take the two that tugged at his heartstrings the most for a walk, see if there was one that he bonded with more.
This was a mistake. Instead, you may find Magnus lying in the grass, a chihuahua standing on top of his neck and a bernese mountain dog flopped on the rest of him, his own expression torn between agony and delight. ] This isn't going to work. I love them both.
B - THE SEARCH FOR GOOD WOOD (NO NOT THAT KIND)
[ In the absence of a job - or people - that simulate Magnus as much as he needs to be, he's taken to his oldest and truest love to keep him busy: carving. But he doesn't have the cash to go out and buy a whole slew of some carving wood, so instead, he's taken to the wilderness to explore his options. Axe slung across his back, you may see him wading waist-deep into water to snag an awfully nice looking piece of aerated wood, hacking down particularly large branches off of the trees that line the parks, or just scavenging off the ground.
If this makeshift lumberjack isn't enough to comment on, he might look over at you, stretching his back out with a crack and hold up a hunk of wood he's particularly pleased with, saying, ] Pretty good stuff, right?
C - THE SEARCH FOR A JOB
[ Or maybe you're not so into the whole great outdoors side of things! In that case, you may see Magnus storming your local coffeeshops, pubs and bars, eyeing the bulletin boards at the front of every establishment a little apprehensively. He's apt to simply grab any paper that catches his fancy, not bothering to rip off the little tab with a phone number on it, but he never looks particularly happy about it.
Between the HELP WANTED and SELLING signs, he's not seeing much in the way of people hiring. Every now and then, someone may hear him remark, ] They don't tell you much on these things, do they? Just fun work, easy money! That doesn't tell me anything!
[ About half of what he has are just scams, but hell, he just wants to get out of his current line of work. ]
WILDCARD

WILDCARD
[ Want something? Let me know or write one yourself! xoxoxo ]
no subject
[ He chuckles a little to himself, shoving his hands in his pockets and setting his shoulders. ]
And what's your name?
no subject
[ she stuffs her hands in her pockets, glancing at him before looking over at 'nathaniel.' what kind of adult goes to a kennel to name dogs? for real. there's gotta be something wrong with this dude. ]
The one next to Nathaniel is, uh. Sunny?
[ real creative, tara. ]
no subject
[ There. Introductions done, and he'll know what to call Tara next time they meet - when she can play with his dogs, whichever ones he winds up getting, instead of staring at these sad little fellas. ]
The one next to Sunny... ooh, I'm feeling Rosie.
[ Tara's looking a little more comfortable now. Good. Everyone should name dogs together; it's a bonding exercise like no other. ]
no subject
[ tara, the gender binary is a lie. someone teach this poor girl right.
she points at a beagle. ]
That's Rowdy.
no subject
[ He reaches through the bars, ruffling at Rosie-Jack's ears, making kissing noises through the bars. ]
Just like I don't care when people call me Maggie.
[ Tara, the gender binary is a lie. You best learn that soon to roll with his crew...! ]
no subject
[ but it's whatever. he really doesn't seem to care, especially when magnus is petting his ears. it's weird, to see a grown man acting so much like...well, like gar. but a little more mature, maybe. ]
Do lotsa people call you Maggie?
no subject
[ Not a lot since Raven's Roost, anyway; it was mostly the old ladies that were around and Julia, and he was too much of a nomad to gain much in the way of nicknames since then, but he's been gaining plenty of nicknames at the Bureau of Balance. It's only a matter of time before Mags turns into Maggie.
He doesn't mind it at all. ]
But enough people that I don't mind it! Don't worry, I won't start calling you Terrence.
[ Even though the gender binary is a lie. ]
no subject
[ terrence sounds like an awful name, in tara's humble opinion. she glances back at magnus, before moving closer to the dog that she'd dubbed "dusty." ]
Are these guys all mutts...?
