Warnings:N/A, will update if needed

[ The video opens up on Della, who waves a little awkwardly. ]

Hey, guys! Hope everyone's doing okay after the whole... ink tentacle disaster... thing. That was. A lot. And, uh, well, during that, I kind of lost my leg. And by kind of I mean definitely.

[ She moves the device down - she's sitting down on a couch, and shows her one normal leg, and her other leg that ends at a stump above the knee. She then realizes how she made that sound, and swiftly pulls the camera back to her face. ]

NOT A FLESH LEG! I forgot not everyone knows about that... Oops. A-hem.

I had a metal prosthetic leg made out of rocket-ship parts and Oxy-chew. If possible, I'd love to have it back, so if anyone goes deep-sea diving and happens to come across it, I'd owe you forever and a half. I'm kind of attached to it... well, not literally at the moment. It's sentimental.

But I'm not the type to sit back and wait stuff out, so! More importantly! I'm here asking for anyone who knows where I can get another leg? Any special shops or such that specialize in such a thing? I'm not asking for anything fancy - so long as I can move around, I'm happy.

So, thanks in advance for anyone who can help me out! Hope you guys have an awesome day! Della Duck, over and out!

Well, now you've made me curious about this liquorice.

How well does using gum work as an adhesive for a mechanical leg? Surely its motion was impeded in places?

[ He never noticed during the brief times he spent with her. ]

[sos_pilot]

Sorry, buddy, but now it's at the bottom of the ocean. I didn't exactly carry any extras around. And I have no idea if it's meant to last in seawater.

It was made by a genius, so my mobility was just fine. Gyro Gearloose is a nutjob with huge personality issues and deserves a kick to the shins, but he IS a smart guy.

[emet_sulk]

It seems like genius always comes with its odd quirks. I've met a few...eccentric individuals like that in my time.

None of them thought to make a chewing gum that allows you to breathe, that said, but I have seen other intriguing contraptions.

[sos_pilot]

Yeah, that's the type of people my uncle hires - they're the best at what they do, but they were unemployed before he got them for reasons.

[emet_sulk]

Truly a shame they aren't here. I would have liked to learn more.

[ He looks thoughtful for a few moments. ]

I am attempting to construct some manner of deep sea exploration vehicle, either manned or unmanned. I could use that area as a launch site for tests. Mayhap we'll spot your leg in the process.

[sos_pilot]

Hey, that'd be great! Good luck with that, and keep me updated!

[ but she is clearly not going volunteer deep-diving in that thing herself, hell no. ]

[emet_sulk]

I shall.

[ Yeah...he doesn't blame her. Wouldn't want an Iron Lung incident now, would we? ]
