Warnings: N/A

Hey there, party people! If we haven't met yet, name's Della Duck!

So after witnessing some shenanigans on the network, some more obvious than others, I thought I'd do everyone here a service and warn them about potential people from my world. If this place can bring in bad guys, it's best to be prepared. So, here we go!

[ to wit, she begins holding up crude crayon drawings of the following people. ]

Mark Beaks! So, he's technically really smart with tech stuff, but he prefers to steal other people's work and claim it as his own. Solution - distract him with how few followers he has on the network, then punch him in the face.

Next, Ma Beagle! Head of the Beagle Boys gang! Don't let her height fool you, she packs a punch and can rob banks in her sleep. Solution - disarm the purse, it's got all kind of weapons in there, then punch her in the face.

Then, Don Karnage! Leader of the Sky Pirates, he might feel right at home here. Good swordsman, better singer. Solution - challenge him to a singing competition, then punch him in the face.

Last, and worst, is Magica De Spell. Sorceress supreme, and pure evil to the bone. Petty streak that can and has lasted for decades. Solution - break her magic scepter, then punch her in the face.

Now, my world has WAY more bad guys than that, but these are the most dangerous, in my opinion. And hey, feel free to share deets about the baddies from your world! We're all in this together!

[Consider this Della unlocking his tragic origin story finally.]

S'one of the few benefits it came with.

[Della might be trying to make her feel better about it, but she's not gonna act like her good looks didn't carry over with the change.]

You don't gotta pity me, Del. I've had this curse for years now, it doesn't bug me as much as it used to. [Being in this place too, admittedly, also helped. People here are less judgmental or weirded out by it compared to home.] It's not the worst thing I thing got stuck with. There's plenty of crappy ones out there.

[sos_pilot]

Still though... there wasn't any "spring of boy" you could fall into to, like, maybe not undo it but maybe cover it over?

[treebornekettlegirl]

There is, but that's all the way in China. I can't just drop everything and head off to it whenever I want like it's the local market. Ferries cost a lotta money. And the old fart's stoppin' me from tryin' to swim there again for... reasons.

[aka "his dad doesn't trust him to not run off and abandon the engagement". But that's just another tragic origin story Della's not at the social link to learn that plot point yet.]

Any time I did get t' go back there, it was for slightly more important stuff. It's hard to think about jumpin' in one when there's people tryin' to kill you or people you know. Last time I was there, the springs got overflooded thanks to a fight I was in, makin' them useless.

[Still usable, though only if you want to become a freaky chimera of various creatures. From what she heard, the springs did go back to normal... Buuuuut she'd have to bring up some other stuff she'd rather keep a tight lip about.]

[sos_pilot]

Wow! And I thought my brother Donald had bad luck like nobody else! Maybe you actually fell in a spring of a girl who broke a bajillion mirrors and stepped under bazillion ladders!

(1/2)

[treebornekettlegirl]

Nah, pretty sure the guide would've specified that if I did.

[She's not joking here, it wouldn't be a surprise to her if that was a real spring. There's a bunch of weird and wack ones out there. 'Spring of Drowned Yeti Riding A Bull Carrying a Crane and Eel' comes to mind.]

On the plus side of this whole mess, it's easy to switch back. Usually.

[From the ether, out pops that thermos Della watched Ranma use to scald himself. And like before, she dumps the contents over her head...]

(2/2)

[catsgothistongue]

[... and through the passing stream of steaming liquid, by the time it finishes washing over Ranma, he's back to being 'Ran the Man'.]

Oh, uh, I forgot to give the heads up. Sorry.

[Tbf tho, he thought everything before was enough of a warning that he was going to douse himself in boiling water again.]

[sos_pilot]

[ Oof, yeah, she does NOT like the fact he has to pretty much scald himself every time he wants to go back to normal. What the hell, stupid springs??? ]

Does it always have to be THAT hot? It can't even just be luke-warm or room temperature?

[catsgothistongue]

[As a floating dream dorito once said: pain is hilarious!]

Nah, tap water works too. I've just done it enough times and been burnt enough that both feels the same to me.

[Same deal goes for fire. He's uniquely resilient when it comes to various degrees of burns.]

[sos_pilot]

[ and now he's in axolotl therapy forever, so who's laughing now??? ]

That... is not exactly reassuring and makes me feel even worse for you? Like it or not, next time I'm seeing you, it's hug city.

[catsgothistongue]

[his ex]

C'mon Dels, you don't gotta do that.

[He doesn't see what's the issue here is????]

[sos_pilot]

Too bad, it's happening. It'll come when you least expect it.

[catsgothistongue]

[Why does he hear boss music?]

Good luck, you're gonna need it.

[Look at the time, it's high time to turn off the video camera. No, he's not intimidated, don't be ridiculous.]
