[ 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 there, Zenny!

[ enjoy the new nickname! ]

And, uh, well, I'd be a little happier without all the... water. And ocean. And fish-stuff. I'm way better in the sky or on solid ground.

[tekhartha]

[.......... alright, he has to say it. He can't help it.]

Is that so? Most of the ducks in my world would be in their element here.

[Though, admittedly, she doesn't look much like any duck Zenyatta has ever seen.]

[sos_pilot]

I'll admit, I'm a bit of an odd duck out when it comes to my family about this particular subject. When we all went to Mervana, everyone wanted to see the mermaids.

I also wanted to see the mermaids... blasted to bits by torpedoes.

[tekhartha]

[hah! odd duck! this is why he likes you della]

That seems somewhat extreme. Were they dangerous?

[He's not sure what he should be picturing here. Beautiful women with waterfalls of hair and enchanting voices? Terrible serpents with claws like rakes and wicked fangs? Who are also ducks? So many questions!!!]

[sos_pilot]

No, they're were mostly just hippies. Their King was kinda dangerous, but that was mostly 'cause he went insane, and we managed to literally beat the sense back into him.

But they're gross, icky, part-fish hippies! All those awful scales, and the smell, and the slime, and just... bleck!

[ She looks ready to gag. Some people hate seafood... some people just hate the sea. ]

[tekhartha]

[Ah, what a pity! He had so many questions he wanted to ask! But even his curiosity has limits, and those include sympathy for his conversational partner's gag reflex.

Instead, he laughs, light and gently teasing.]

I will not torture you for further details, then! But I do hope it is the "fish" that you objected to so much and not the "hippies".

[or you're talking to the wrong robot, sister]

[sos_pilot]

Nah, nah, nah.

[ Dismissive hand-wave. Uncle Scrooge has his baggage with them, but rich people get weird about stuff like this. Unlike the perfectly normal Della. ]

Once they gained feet and legs, we were totally cool. I've got no problems with their free-loving, all for one unity stuff. They even knew how to lay the smack-down when we needed help corralling their corrupt king. If it weren't for the seaweed smell, I'd totally hang out with them.

[tekhartha]

[completely normal!]

Very wise of them. Peace is never, unfortunately, set in stone- one must be prepared to defend it. Although I am sure you are quite the force to be reckoned with on your own!

[sos_pilot]

Flattery will get you everywhere, chrome dome.

[ A hearty laugh! Followed by a pumped fist and a cheeky grin! ]

But you are correct! If there's ever a tyrant that needs disposing, robbers that need to be jailed, or monsters causing mayhem, just give me a call and I'll make them regret getting up in the morning!
