[ The feed turns on abruptly, with the image jostling - as Della had violently thrown the device on her bed and not realized it turned on. Everyone is treated to her yelling mid-rant, as she kicks furniture and stomps about, pulling at her hair. ]

- Missed it AGAIN, and this time, it's not even MY FAULT! How is that FAIR?! Haven't I done enough? Why can't I just... why? Is this someone's sick idea of a joke?! Am I just not... allowed to be with them? In any world? In any universe? Why? Why? I... I just...

[ Her voice breaks, and she sits on her bed, burying her face in her hands. After a moment, she shuffles, and pulls out a piece of paper from her jacket. From this angle, it's difficult to tell, but it could be a drawing of three little duck boys. She runs her fingers down the image, and then begins singing softly.

Fair to say a good number of people here know Della as an adventure-loving nutjob. But here and now, her voice is filled with genuine love. ]

Look to the stars, my darling baby boys,
Life is strange and vast,
Filled with wonders and joys,
Face each new sun with eyes clear and true,
Unafraid of the unknown...
Because I'll face it all, with you...

[ Then, out of the corner of her eye - which may be tearing up - she spots the device. And can guess what happened. ]

... Aw, phooey.

[ With a swallow, she reaches over, and weakly smiles. ]

... So. Uh. Anyone know any good jokes?

[ ooc: if you'd like to tag della but not interested in something this depressing, feel free to hit me up for a quest-starter! ]

Thanks.

[ As she takes the cup, she takes a deep breath, trying to make herself act like normal... or, well, what Della considers normal. ]

All right. Mostro Lounge. Gimmie the deets. I wanna know all about this place, leave nothing out.

[Azul will be more than happy to talk about Mostro: he goes into detail about how he plans for it to be a place where he can sell his potions and magic wares that is an in location place one can go to ask for his services instead of only being able to rely on messaging him with the shellphones as things have been done up until now.

However, for those not interested in those particular skills of his, he has the Lounge. It'll be, well, a lounge, a place to simply relax and hang out at, either via chatting with others over drinks or partaking in entertainment via games or performances on that stage he made.]

We spoke before about forming a gaming club, remember? The Lounge would be a perfect place to have meet ups at once or twice a week for any games that involve needing lots of players, or even having small gaming tournaments for fun now and then... what do you think, Della-san?

[sos_pilot]

[ Lucky, this all does what it was intended to do - distract. The more Azul talks, the more Della gets invested, nodding, smiling, encouraging him. By the time he's asked her the question, she isn't 100% Della Duck again, but it's well over 50%. ]

Oh, yeah! With all that's going on, I nearly forgot... this place would be perfect! And you'd have plenty of people for perfect PR! Word will spread like fire!

[octoblot]

Thank you, I'm glad that you agree!

[Even if it's not 100% Della Duck, seeing her smile is encouraging all the same.]

I'm hoping that the Lounge will finally be ready to open properly by the end of this month, beginning of next? There will be an announcement for it as soon as I'm certain of the details, as well as looking for anyone interested in employment for helping me with the upkeep and such...
