WEEK 1

[bathymetric]

Well, you've now met the brains of the operation, as well as the shockingly nice-looking young lady in charge of day-to-day business. Now all that's left is to get used to your accommodations - there's 24 other people in similar shoes to yours to meet in this building, you know! And who knows how much longer you might have them...

The daily routine in the facility quickly becomes obvious - the only way to tell time moment to moment is to check the strange device The Professor gave you, but at the same time every day the lights in and out of the facility go up, and at the same time every night they go down. Otherwise, it's almost maddening sometimes, how little happens in here. At least you have a few rooms with enough to hopefully keep you occupied. Who knows what secrets they might hold? And there's always that vending machine, if you can find something that fits in the coin slot...

[ ooc: Welcome to Peace Week! Enjoy it while it lasts. Remember, office hours for The Professor's Assistant are over here if you're interested, while regains can be deposited over here! ]

Well why the heck've I been waddlin' around like this, then?!

[ Why, indeed, Della. Why indeed. ]

[bolderfell]

Couldn't say.

[There must be a book in his lap, because he returns his attention to it and then turns a page.]

[nothingcanstop]

[ Now she's climbing down and...just grumbling. Just grumbling the whole time. ]

There's really a ladder, really?!

[bolderfell]

Really.

[He tucks his feet in so she can pass with more room, if she chooses to come around his way.]

[nothingcanstop]

[ Feet planted on the ground, passing by him to get the ladder. ]

Come one, Della! Think you'd- thank you, by the way- look for that first, jeez!

[bolderfell]

[She's... actually really, really funny.]

Don't mention it. [He closes his book and turns to watch her.] What are you looking for?

[nothingcanstop]

[ Around the corner, getting the ladder, Della breaks every library rule and raises her voice to answer: ]

Secret passages! Or compartments! Or something! You find 'em in most secret lairs, so there's bound to be something around here!

[bolderfell]

True.

[He's never heard of anything like this being called a lair before.]

Have you been to many of these... secret lairs?

[nothingcanstop]

A few in my time! Mostly deserted ones, but they've all still got traps or puzzles active.

[bolderfell]

Sounds like you lead an exciting life.

[DUCK ADVENTURES]

[nothingcanstop]

That's...nghh, a way to put it. My uncle's...gnh, a big adventurer. Guess it runs in the family.

[ Sounds like she's pushing something... Oh, that ladder is person-sized, huh. ]

[bolderfell]

[Ah. When Therion finally leans around the corner again, he sees what's up.]

...Need a hand?

[nothingcanstop]

It’s- it’s not too heavy, it’s just a bit big compared to...!!! What I’m used to!!!

[ she’s three feet tall ]

[bolderfell]

Here.

[Therion walks over and uses his magnificent height of five foot six to push the ladder in a more, uh, levelly distributed way. Poor Della.]

You want it where you were looking before, right?

[nothingcanstop]

[ Why's everyone so tall here? Jeez... It's like living in a world of Launchpads. Della follows and nods. ]

That'd be great, yeah. Thanks.

[bolderfell]

[Please, Therion could be built like Launchpad McQuack in his dreams. He moves the ladder into place and steps out of her way.]

Don't mention it.

[He starts to head back to his corner, but glances back.]

Adventures can get pretty messy. Try not to drop a shelf on my head, all right?

[It's hard to tell, but he miiiiiight be teasing. Just a little.]

[nothingcanstop]

[ The joke of this all is Launchpad is five feet tall but buff as hell.

...Della smirks. ]

If there's any incoming debris, I'll give you a nice warning, how's that?
