October Open Quest Log
🧙 WHO: Drake Mallard/Darkwing Duck and whoever!
⚔️️ WHAT: Taking on a number of this month's quests
🕒 WHEN: Throughout the first half of the month
🗺️ WHERE: Various places
⚠️ WARNINGS: Headless Horseman in Prompt B
A. Smashing Pumpkins [Pumpkin Mayhem - Drake/Darkwing]
[At first, Drake Mallard loved the idea of decorating some pumpkins! Nice way to get into the Halloween spirit. So one can join the civilian duck as he paints and/or carves some pumpkins. Of course, most of the designs he uses are based on Darkwing Duck and some of his villains! Join him during the calm before the storm and help him with decorating pumpkins... or when they start to come alive and take the off-duty hero by surprise!
Or later on, after he's made a costume change, Darkwing Duck will do some more patrols of the area and see if anyone else is having any trouble with rogue pumpkins...]
B. Heading Places [Don't Lost Your Head - Darkwing]
[When he hears rumors about the headless horseman, it sounds like a job for Darkwing Duck! ...A particularly scary job, but a job nonetheless!
And so, he ends up showing up to protect some volunteers who are cleaning up bodies in Celliwig. He keeps some distance from the volunteers and watches from the shadows because of his aesthetic. Perhaps someone is staking this out with him, or is one of the volunteers that this duck is trying to protect.
Or skip ahead to when the Headless Horseman makes his entrance, and Darkwing springs into action... starting with his catchphrase, of course!]
I am the terror that flaps in the night!
I am the dental floss that has been dropped into your candy bag!
I am... Darkwing Duck!
C. Beddy or Not [Bunker Down - Drake]
[So what happened at the end of last month sure was depressing! He felt some relief in being able to do his part to help save people from Lestari, but especially as a hero, he feels the punch from all of those that weren't saved elsewhere. So he throws himself into some relief work so that he can do something to help the survivors!
And so Drake can be seen at the woodworking sight, where he tries to help out with constructing some bunk beds. One can catch him in one of several scenarios. Tired out from all of his work, he could end up taking one of the unfinished beds for a trial run by passing out on it. Or he could be seen doing some strange work for one bed, like making the carving of a duck head coming from the foot of a bed, and also several imperfectly-shaped wheels off on the side... is he trying to make a Darkwing Duck racecar bed...?]

[Feel free to come up with an alternate prompt or hit me up for plotting!]
no subject
[Kratos doesn't typically lose his temper like that, but Darkwing has a death wish and this is all so goddamn stupid. At lease the daring duck of dipshittery seems to be doing a good job of evading the horrible hooves of the headless horseman's steed, that will probably give Kratos enough time to catch up. Just keep dodging DW, you got this!]
no subject
I just expected him to be, I dunno, a bit easier to trick and turn the tables on? N-not so... relentless! [He calls back nervously as he continues to evade the attacks. He can't keep this up forever, but he also is trying to keep up appearances.] Not that this is actually a problem for me or anything! Also when did you get here Kratos.
no subject
...I suppose I can't blame you for that, seeing as he doesn't have a head...
[How does it see? How does it hear? This is some magic bullshit and the horseman is totally cheating!
Once Kratos has closed in a little more, he tries to trip the horse up with his elemental magic, suddenly manifesting a couple jagged spears of rock in it's path. This seems to work and it veers off course, but it doesn't seem ready to peace out just yet.]
I've been here. How long have you been lurking around in the shadows?
no subject
[It's not the most unusual thing for Drake, coming from a world of weirdness, but it still is strange! And hard to think of how to turn the tables on him. As the horse is driven off course, Darkwing takes the opportunity to put some more space between them - and comes towards Kratos instead.
He grins proudly at his quest.]
For quite some time, my friend! Staying hidden is a valuable skill for a being who lurks in the night... [Never mind that he also didn't notice Kratos the whole time. He'll just cling to the pride of having successfully stayed hidden from the man!] Are you here to take on decapitated dastard as well?
no subject
[You have got to stop announcing your presence to everything that wants to kill you, bro.
Kratos had no problem with Darkwing taking cover behind him, he readies his blade and prepares to be a duck's meatshield. This is the turn his life has taken, thanks fate.]
That's why I'm here, yes. Stay sharp, and try not to get trampled.
no subject
[Clearly that's what Kratos must mean by 'volume'!
Kratos does make for an effective meatshield... but Darkwing doesn't want to let him do all the heavy lifting (and get all the glory!) so he has his light magic readied to back him up.]
Your sword has me a bit outclassed in the sharpness category, but I think I'll do just fine! [He quips.] Let's take him on together! It's time for another classic team-up!
no subject
[PLEASE LEARN TO STEALTH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
Ooo light shields are even better and less messy than meat shields! Good thinking, Duckmeat! Despite the fact that this duck drives him absolutely bonkers, Kratos can't help but chuckle softly to himself. Of course this is how his day would go, but really it could be worse.]
Classic team-up, right. Well, I suppose we have only been successful while working together.
no subject
It's just some light back-up!]
Exactly! You know, I don't mean to put you down or anything, but have you ever noticed that you've never been defeated whenever we've worked together? [Yes, because Kratos is clearly the one of the two who needs help...] So we'll take down this guy too!
[As he says that, he fires some blasts of light towards the horseman to try to slow him down!]
no subject
[Hey DW you ever notice that you've never been defeated whenever we've worked together?? But yes, they will indeed take this guy too. Startled by the blasts of light, the horse attempts to veer off course, and Kratos uses the distraction to trip the horse up. He materializes a few boulders in the horse's path, managing to trip it up and make it rear back on it's hind legs. The rider keeps his ass on the horse, but is clearly off balance.]
no subject
In any case, now that the horse is on its hind legs, Darkwing sees this as his chance to strike.]
Good job, now leave this to me!
[With that, he throws himself forward to try to tackle the horseman off of the horse!]
no subject
Also. Please don't throw yourself at the horseman. You will surely die. Even so... Kratos doesn't try to interfere just yet. Look, he's morbidly curious about how this will go, okay.]
Of course, there's no way this will end poorly.
[Kratos stop being so irresponsible oh my God]
no subject
Nothing ends poorly... with Darkwing on the job! [He grunts as he continues his struggle.]
Look, I'm... keeping him busy for you! [All part of the plan and not a plea for help, right?]
