[ At first, the Shellphone is RIGHT UP CLOSE TO HER FACE. After a few seconds, she pulls back, and makes a peace sign. Though she keeps the phone steady, she herself moves plenty, cheerful and popping! ]

Suh-weeeet! Super glad this place has the tech. Way too many worlds are stuck in the whole fantasy-medieval-ancient times shtick, and that gets old FAST. Not saying this place is perfect, the whole... ocean... vibe majorly sucks... but, gotta look on the bright side.

But that's way too long before I can say - hey! I'm Della Duck! Don't suppose any of you know my uncle Scrooge? Guess that'd make things too easy... but it's all good! Not my first rodeo! We defeat bad guys, get the magical treasure, have some meaningful journeys and discover the true treasure inside us all along, blah blah blah, home we go.

So, let's skip all the doom and gloom and get right to the learning, shall we? From the looks of things, I'm not the first visitor here, so drop that knowledge on me - what did you wish someone had told YOU on your first day here? What took you way too long to learn?

And, uh, let's see, what else... oh, let's play a game! Best way to make new friends! I got the perfect one too - Two Truths And A Lie! Tell me three things about yourself, one's a lie, and I gotta guess which. Play around! I'll go first!

I'm a mother of three!
I'm allergic to gold!
I'm an ace pilot with my own plane!

Okay, go!

((OOC: feel free to threadhop for the 2truths1lie game!))

[Oh hey, it's Della from the tattoo parlor. Normally, Azul doesn't play games like this, but he figures there's no harm in doing so this time if it means building up further rapport with someone he's already met here so far.]

I'm going to assume that the second one is the lie.

[Though, perhaps this is a little too easy for him given that Della already told him before this about her kids, and the third one was easy to guess as the truth based on her attire here.]

Bingo! Way to go, Double-AA! You must those same grades on your report card!

[ Hey there, tattoo bestie!!! ]

It's true, I've been around gold pretty much ever since childhood, what with my uncle being the richest duck in the world. I even had gold fillings in my teeth when I got cavities!

[ And, much to everyone's disgust, that's when she opens her beak and tries to finger her teeth to show him. ew. ]

[Ew. Azul cringes a little as he watches.]

It's alright, I believe you. You don't need to show me to prove it...

[ Thankfully she finally stops, licking her beak afterward. ]

Now, your turn! C'mon, drop some knowledge on me!

Very well. Let's see...

[Azul really has to think about it for a moment, because he doesn't want to give too much personal information about himself away out of the gate.]

I have a massive collection of coins back home, I've never seen a real dog before outside of pictures in books, and I never had my photo taken until after I left middle school.

Hmmm.

[ Cue the jeopardy music as she debates each choice. ]

The first one is pretty plausible... but those other two are throwing me for a loop. But... I'm going with the last one! You youngin's are obsessed with selfies, right?

You have picked the correct choice, though sadly not for the right reasons: I know a few classmates of mine who frequently take pictures of themselves to upload to Magicam, but I am not one of them.

[In fact, Azul despises getting his picture taken... but alas, the attempts he has made to try to destroy said photos, especially the ones from before his life in NRC, did not go as planned.]

[ Another happy little laugh. Sure, she's happy she won, but she's also happy to have learned more about her friend. ]

Well, I can't tell if you're handsome or ugly, so whatever your reasons are for not wanting your photo spread, I'll be sure to keep it down. If I can't take your picture, I'll just draw it! I'm an awesome artist. Though my heads come out looking weird.

Oh, how kind of you to offer. Typically, as long as someone asks for permission first and I'm able to have a say in what kind of picture it is, I'm usually willing to allow someone to take my picture if need be.

[If a picture of himself is able to be used to promote his business or something, then he's a little more amendable to it. Otherwise, he tends to be very picky about making sure any photos of himself existing out there cast him in the best light possible.]

Aw, that's sweet of you! Okay, next time we're together, totally taking a group photo! I wanna keep these precious memories of us for when I head back home!

[ precious memories of them meeting twice. and the first time involved hysterical tantrum-throwing. ]

[Ah... Toge told Azul not too long ago that he did manage to go back home once, but that none of his memories of this place had carried over for some reason. He debates whether or not to tell Della here about that, but... hmm. Maybe he should keep that information in his back pocket for now in case it turns out to be more valuable later. Instead, he says--]

I'm not sure if anything has really happened yet to be picture-worthy for the purpose of recalling fond memories, but perhaps that will have changed in the near future once we've all gotten to know each other better.

Listen, when you've world-hopped as much as I have, you know the time in there isn't guaranteed. So you gotta take advantage of every meeting and every connection. That's why I don't care if any meeting was only five seconds, it still remains super precious to me!

Oh? So this isn't actually the first time you've been to another world other than your own?

Yup! Pretty much a casual affair, getting yoinked into another dimension or poking your head into an alternate universe. But I'll admit, this is the most difficult case by far. Usually whatever trouble we have is solved pretty quickly, and I'd be home by now.

[ like in roughly 25 minutes. ]

I see... well, even though it is unfortunate that you haven't been able to return home as quickly as you are normally used to, I suppose it is a relief that we have an experienced individual like yourself here among our number nonetheless.

Oh, absolutely! I've got plenty of years worth of knowledge when it comes to adventures! Fighting monsters and bad guys, escaping death traps, solving ancient puzzles, I've done it all. Shoot, I even landed my first plane when I was twelve!

It sounds like you have a rather chaotic life.

[Sorry, Azul has very little sense of adventure, unless it involves something that might make him wealthy...]

I know, it's so awesome.

[ She assumed it was a compliment. ]

And now that you're a part of it, you get to experience the same kind of fun!

[does he have to, though...]

"Fun" is certainly a word for it.

[He would have used "danger" or "time-consuming annoyance", but that's just him here.]
