Hey, uh...

[ Fenton seems a little nervous as he appears on the network, looking somewhere off to the side. When he looks back to the camera, it's clear that he's worried about something. ]

Has...anyone seen or heard from Drake? Drake Mallard? He hasn't been home and I've been trying to get in touch with him, but I haven't been able to reach him. I keep getting a message that his device isn't in service.

[ He has an idea of what that means, but...he just needs to be sure. ]

FRIENDS! AVALONS! COUNTRYMEN! LEND ME YOUR EARS!

[ Della has slammed open the video, hands smacking the countertop - she's in Fenton's lab for this, probably definitely without his permission, but she needed a science-y background for this incredibly important announcement! To her left is her familiar, Amelia the moon rabbit, casually nibbling on some carrots. There's also wooden stand holding up a large stack of papers, meant to be folded back.]

I've been here for some time now - I haven't kept exact track because that would remind me how long I've been away from my family, again, and that's a can of worms we do not want opened - and as much as I've enjoyed learning about all the different worlds out there, I've also discovered something absolutely APPALLING! So many of your worlds... do not know the majesty that is... PLANES!

[ She rips off the first piece of paper, showing a detailed while still rather cartoony rendition of a plane - to be more specific, the Sunchaser... Er, CloudSlayer. ]

Behold! This is merely one - granted, one of the best - example of the most wonderful machines to have ever been invented for the purpose of transportation! Simply out, it can take you from one place to the other by traveling in the sky! Soaring through the clouds, weaving around mountains, defying the very wind itself!

[ Page rip! The interior cockpit is shown, Della borrows a carrot to begin pinpointing. ]

And, sure, just being a passenger is thrilling itself, but truly nothing beats the experience of taking the flight controls in your hand, running your fingers over instrument panels, and entering your destiny in the sky! Which leads me to my most important point yet!

[ Page rip! Very sketchy blueprint details, along with the $$$ symbol all over. ]

I wanna build one. FOR ALL OF YOU. A good chunk for me, but MOSTLY FOR ALL OF YOU. Because it's cruel that so many of you don't know this experience! Now, the problem is, while I've fixed planes before... I've never actually built one from scratch. I usually left that to my uncle Scrooge... who left it to his engineers... and, um, he's also the richest duck in the world, so as you can imagine, some steps in my knowledge have been skipped.

Now, I'm not expecting anyone to just hand over money and supplies willy-nilly. Which brings me to my final point!

[ The final page, which is a drawing of Della herself, with two thumbs up, and the words HIRE ME ]

Who am I? Della Duck, adventurer extraordinaire! I've mangled monsters, wrestled wraiths, and fought more pirates than there are feathers on my backside! And I've been doing it since I was a duckling! In this world, I've got Kinetic and Dark magic! Plus, during my time here, I've learned a ton of spells and potions and gotten all kinds of magical items that just build every month! I can help you on quests! I can teach you how to fight! I can babysit your kids! I can let you use me as a training dummy! I can be an extra set of helping hands for your chores! Name it, and I'm there!

Honestly, I usually spend most of December building traps for Santa Claus, but since that's no longer an issue for me, I've got tons of free time, so... let's take that first step making planes together!

[ He's only making a new post because he doesn't want to directly engage the dragon killers (not that it will stop them from commenting on this one, but hey). ]

Tell me, those of you who are mortal: why do you deserve the lives you have been given? Why should we save your depraved worlds from falling to calamity when all you are capable of is slaughtering that which you fear and hate? Your childish arrogance, hubris, and ego destroy far more than I ever could in a millennia, and yet you continue to cry out for your pathetic existences as though any of you mean anything in the grander scheme of things. As though you matter.

Civilisations crumble and fall. Mountains may be ground to dust, or new ones arise from the ocean floor. The world changes, and yet the selfishness of mortals does not.

I pity you short-sighted fools.

[ Cloud, for the most part, kept a low profile when it came to the happenings of this world. That didn't mean he never checked his device, checking in on the network and taking up quests here and there. But posting online himself? Not since his time spent in another world that he had a business to run did he really put enough effort into putting himself out there.

So. What's the otherwise reserved Cloud doing out here? ]


Hey...

[ ... why does his voice sound a bit nasally? An audible sniffle follows. ]

I'm just— [ His breath clips before his voice sounds like it's growing fainter from the microphone. ] S'cuse me...aahhh- aaaah...

[ ... ]

A-CHOO—!

[ THUNDER BOOM. The sound of something glasslike/porcelain breaking accompanies it. ]

Shit!

[ There's some scrambling, putting down his device, picking it back up, a cough before he hits the mute button. After a couple awkward moments of silence, the mic's back on and the stuffed-up blond asks calmly, ]

Anyone know a good magic doctor? [ A beat. ] ...and where to buy sinks? Thanks.

[ When the Magical Flu hits an elemental caster, no bathroom sink is safe apparently. ]

(She is pale and resolved; this is not a woman who is unaccustomed to strife.)

This seems the quickest way to go about my search. (And since her physical stamina hasn't completely returned.) I am Padmé Amidala, Senator of Naboo. Am I known to anyone present?

(She wants to be known. She doesn't want to be known. She wants a friend. She doesn't want anyone to touch her.)

It's not terribly important. (But it is.) Of course we can get to know one another. If you wish to speak, I will listen.

Hi. The name's Gandra Dee. I was too busy healing people to reply to some of the network posts from before. I saw a couple of people making good points and I wanted to address them and add in a couple of ideas of my own.

[Though she's seen people giving her odd looks, at least Della, Drake and Fenton being here months before her means that the humans here are probably relatively used to non-humans by now.]

I'm all for helping, but we really should make sure we're better informed and not just blindly taking marching orders.

[She doesn't need to underscore how much of a disaster recent events were.]

Along with the news network someone suggested, I'm thinking a searchable database would be a good project. People with technomancy can work together on the coding, and anyone else who wants to help can gather information and write things up.

[And before she disconnects, she mentions one last thing.]

Also...healers. I've been working on a learning app and it's in the beta testing phase right now. I'd like to send it to a few of you to test and see if it's useful. Let me know.

Greetings, everyone! I have a social experiment that I hope you all humor me with:

The purpose of this is to speak about subjects honestly without the worry of revealing ourselves. We can talk about any topic you wish, but try to keep it fun and positive. Only comment anonymously! If you break this one rule and respond while logged in, I will freeze that thread immediately.

To start, please put the topic you wish to talk about in the subject line. There will be sample threads with different subjects to give you an idea.

Well then, let's begin!


( OOC: This is an in-character anonymous meme. All comments are anonymous in our characters' point of view unless stated otherwise. Just put your character's network username on the subject line if you want them to reply "logged in", but Eclair will freeze that thread. Eclair is just testing the waters a bit with this experiment, observing the humans and near-humans and their shenanigans. )
