[flapsin]

🧙 WHO: Drake Mallard/Darkwing Duck and whoever!
⚔️️ WHAT: An open log with each of this month's Top Tasks!
🕒 WHEN: Throughout the first half of the month
🗺️ WHERE: Throughout Camelot
⚠️ WARNINGS: Probably some level of nsfw stuff for the Hot Knights prompt (but no smut); possible mentions of and attempted murder/violence for the Cult Classic prompt.

A. A Sheepish Request [Shear Determination - Drake]

[Drake Mallard is ready to undergo some quests! And the first one he chooses seems simple enough. Just shear some sheep! A... fire-breathing sheep. He doesn't have much experience with this, but how hard could it be?

Armed with a blade for shearing, he starts to approach the sheep with his partner.]

It's... easy, right? Nice, quick and easy, right? [He better hope that his own nervousness doesn't make the sheep too nervous too...!]

B. A Knight to Remember [Hot Knights - "Howard"]

[This request seems a bit more risque than his usual work! But still, there's someone to be saved, and he's here to do the saving. He decides to go undercover to complete the work. So he puts on a rental suit and tries to slick back his hair... feathers... hair-feathers, whatever they are. Once at the club, he's quickly weirded out by seeing all these scantily-clad humans. Regardless, he tries to act natural as he makes his way to the bar and introduces himself.]

The name's... Howard. [A beat.] Howard, uh, McDuck. That's right! [He snaps his fingers, ordering a drink.] I'll have it shaken, then stirred!

[There could be someone else nearby - either someone along with him on this quest or is running into him while doing his separately!]

C. Duck Flick [Cult Classic - Darkwing]

[This feels like a quest he absolutely cannot overlook. As a crimefighter, this is one eccentric and dangerous villain who needs to be taken down! And as an actor, he feels like he has the know-how to corner this villain! And so, in the guise of Darkwing Duck, he finds someone to act out a movie scene with.]

...Okay. Are you ready for this?

[ooc: Details about the kind of movie being done will be set on a thread-by-thread basis! If you have a specific movie idea in mind, you can establish that in your tag-in! If not, leave your tag-in vague about the specifics and I'll pick something. Or feel free to contact me to hash out specifics!

D. Wildcard

[Feel free to come up with an alternate prompt or hit me up for plotting! Non-quest-related prompts are also welcome!]

Comments

[flapsin]

You definitely should! [He says with a grin that's full of anticipation, as he whips his cape around with the flourish.]

It's time we showed them a true tiff of the titans!

[doctorintern]

[ He nods, holding his duffle bag a little closer and glancing around. ] Okay. Lemme just find a safe place to put it on.

[flapsin]

Fine, fine. Go make your discreet costume change, and then the scene shall ensue!

[doctorintern]

[ With a playful role of his eyes, he scurries off to get the suit on.

And in a matter of moments, he returns as Gizmoduck. ]

All right! Ready to go, Wingy!

[flapsin]

Alright?

[He smirks and leaps backwards, assuming a battle position. Now he starts speaking loudly, so his voice can carry out through the general area!]

I'm afraid that not all is 'all right'! Your superheroic antics have caused too much property damage, and that's why we must fight!

[doctorintern]

[ Oh, they were starting right away then. Okay, no problem. ]

You dare question my superhero methods? I'll show you!

[ And he charges forward towards the caped crusader. ]

[flapsin]

[It's one way to improvise!]

You'll show me, alright... how to be defeated!

[He charges back at him, leaping up into the air to try doing a jumping kick at his chest!]

[doctorintern]

Ha! In your dreams!

[ Lifting an arm, he activates a shield to block the kick, pushing with just enough force to send DW back without actually hurting him. ]

[flapsin]

[He's pushed back! But not deterred. At least Darkwing doesn't have to worry about holding back when going up against an armored foe!]

Don't you know that dreams come true?

[With that, he tries to run around behind Gizmoduck to jump onto his back!]

[doctorintern]

[ He wobble a little when Darkwing lands on his back, but he reaches over with his extending arm to try and grab the other by the cape. ]

Not all dreams! Especially nonsensical ones like yours!

[flapsin]

[Darkwing tries to cling to his back like a feathery koala, even as his cape is grabbed.]

Hrgh... Are you kidding me? My dreams... are the truest dreams of justice!

[While he's still holding onto his back, he comes close enough to whisper something to his ear.]

The battle will go on until we realize our moms have the same first name. That's how it's supposed to go. Got it?

[doctorintern]

[ He tries to make it seem like a struggle to get the caped crusader off his back, though has to control his strength with the suit. ]

Oh please! You wouldn't know real justice if it punched you in the face!

[ As they pretend to keep struggling, he nods a little and whispers back. ] Got it. [ A pause. ] Is your mother's name Maria?

[ Just so he's clear on what name they might be going with. ]

[flapsin]

That's only because I never have and never will punch myself in the face!

[He retorts that smugly while knocking on Gizmoduck's back. And keeping up with their whispered conversation.]

Yeah, I think that's the name from that movie, The Yawn of Justice! We've got this buddy!

[doctorintern]

You really are full of yourself, huh?

[ The whisper gets a nod, but he can't help feeling just a little puzzled. ] Huh...convenient.

[ Clearing his throat then, he returns to the act as he tugs on Darkwing's cape again, still "trying" to pry him off. ]

[flapsin]

And you're about to be full of me, to... full of my first of justice in your face, that is!

[With, he just tries to... keep on punching at his armor, before he's finally pulled off.]

It's not over yet...!

[doctorintern]

[ He groans internally at the comeback, and really has no way of responding to that. So instead he tosses Darkwing away, trying to be as gentle as possible while still looking convincing. ]

Give it up! There's no way you can beat me!

[flapsin]

[He makes the fall look convincing!]

Oof! [He picks himself off the ground.] Oh yeah? It's more like there's no way that you can't be beaten by me! Didn't your mother ever teach you any common sense?

[doctorintern]

[ Gizmoduck snorts. ] Please! You could only ever hope to be half the person Maria is!

[flapsin]

[With that, Darkwing scowls at him. It's acting time.]

How do you know that name?! [He starts a relatively aggressive attack!] How do you know that name??

[doctorintern]

[ Pretending to be surprised, he backs up and tries to block and dodge the sudden fierce attacks. ] What are you talking about? That's my mother's name!

[flapsin]

Nuh-huh! It's my mom's name!!

[He keeps up the assault! But it won't be long until they're interrupted... by someone wearing armor resembling a monster costume covered in jagged spikes and wielding a green spear, aiming it right at Gizmoduck!]

Wait, watch out!

[doctorintern]

[ He turns quickly at the warning, but not with enough time to block with his shield. Instead he blocks with his arm, and the spear manages to pierce through the armor. Just a little, but enough for him to worry. ]

Whoa!

[flapsin]

[The assailant triumphantly introduces himself as Boomsday, destroyer of heroes!]

Fe- Gizmoduck! [Darkwing cries out in panic as the armor is pierced by that spear! There's no hesitation as he springs into action now, clinging to the enemy's arm and trying to get him to drop that spear.]

Scene's over! N-now why don't you just let go and we can do this quietly!

[doctorintern]

[ Not a chance, Boomsday says, as he tries to kick at Darkwing while shoving the spear further into the armor.

Sparks are starting to come from the exposed wiring of the suit, but it does give him an idea. ]

Darkwing, let go!

[flapsin]

[He looks over towards Gizmoduck in concern.]

B-but... he's got you! Are you okay?

[He does hesitantly let go, but he's ready to latch back on at a moment's notice!]
