[so maybe you're just browsing the network, minding your own business, when a new message pops on the screen. let's see, nothing out of the ordina--

what is that. no, really, Angel doesn't show himself on the network that often, so either you've seen him around, or you haven't. for those who haven't, he's a very tall, lanky, spidery-looking dude, with pink fur and pointy teeth and strange eyes. he has two (visible) sets of arms, and legs, on top of that! yeah, he's a real piece of work, this one. fortunately, he's not here to bother you about magic. he's here to bother you about other things]

Sup b- er. Pirates!

The name's Angel, an' I got a little survey thingie I'm conductin'. Like, the most informal survey ever, okay? Lemme tell ya, I've been here a little while, an' it amazes me when I hear about other worlds different from my own. It's incredible, like, a lotta you go through stuff I couldn't even imagine.

My question is, out of all the people you've talked to, which world do ya wanna visit the most?

I'll go first! [as cool as Angel usually is, it's obvious he's passionate about what he has to say] This kid told me about a world with little animals or monsters, or whatever, that are called Pokémon! There are a whole bunch of different species, an' I wanna meet 'em all! [wait. he calms himself] ...They don't have cats or dogs, but there are Pokémon for those, I guess. Sounds fun, right?

So, what about you, huh? Lemme know about other worlds you've heard about while bein' here. Or tell me about your worlds. I just wanna see if anythin' beats Kieran's Pokémon-world.

Sorry, didn't know! I sure don't wanna make ya cry, or somethin'!

[or himself cry. Angel understands the importance of wanting to keep secrets, at least]

Either way, sounds like you've been through a lot! No wonder you wanna get back to yer home.

[sos_pilot]

Well, to make up for it, will you let me brag about my boys like a really annoying parent?

[ She wiggles her eyebrows. Run, Angel Dust! ]

[angellust]

Uhhh... Sure?

[uh oh]

Ya got any pictures of 'em?

[he just digs himself deeper into the hole, doesn't he?]

[sos_pilot]

Unfortunately, this place didn't let me have my original clothes, which is packed to the brim with photos.

BUT I HAVE DRAWINGS!

[ With that, she shoves a (crudely made) drawing of three ducks with weirdly shaped heads. ]

This over here is Dewey, my little superstar, always eager to try new things and owns the spotlight! This one is Huey, the absolute genius, Junior Woodchuck extraordinaire, with tons of facts memorized in that brain! And this is Louie, master of loopholes, able to see the flaws in any villain's plot, an expert in all things related to cold hard cash...

[ and she keeps going.

and going.

and going.

and going. ]

[angellust]

[he has made a Mistake. Angel nods along for a little while, trying to keep up, but it's hard when he doesn't know half of what she's talking about. Junior Woodchuck?loopholes?

the names are cute, though, all matching. ah, if only Angel could relate to... well, never mind, that]

--Okay, okay! I get it! Yer boys are super awesome, an' you care about 'em!

[phew]

[sos_pilot]

[ Thankfully, she does stop... though it's really because she ran out of air. Even duck moms need to breathe. ]

Phewwww. Huh? ... Oh, right, yes! Good! I was starting to forget the whole purpose of this conversation.

[angellust]

Nah, it's fine! It puts things into perspective fer me. See, I'd rather not rush back home. But, then, I don't really have a family like yours that i'm missin'.

[sure, Charlie, Husk, and the rest are almost like family. but, on the other end of things, he's still very much tied to Val, unfortunately. Angel would prefer to not deal with him]

[sos_pilot]

Simple solution - get a new family here! There are plenty of people in the McDuck clan we claim as ours, even if they're not related to us by blood! A best friend can be as good as a brother!

[ easy-peasy! ]

[angellust]

[he taps his cheek in thought]

Yeah, I think I got a few o'those types here. As good as family.

[sos_pilot]

There you go! I can even be Auntie Della, when it suits you!

[angellust]

[pffft]

Auntie? I mean, I guess! But I'm probably a lot older than you.

[sos_pilot]

You're only as old as you feel, and I do everything in my power not to think about my age.

[angellust]

Damn right! Either way, I'd be happy t'have you in my pirate family.
