Ice Fishing

[ Della... does not like fish. At all. She never has - she finds them to be absolutely disgusting. But this is a difficult stance to have when you find out the adorable boy you've befriended and been kinda mothering is... part fish. So, Della has resolved to at least try and overcome her fish-phobia for his sake. It won't be easy, but she has to try.

But before she and whoever she's dragged with her start the mission proper, Della is taking a precaution or two - or delaying the inevitable - by building a small fire near the water. ]

There! We'll definitely be freezing by the time we're done here, so at least this will be here and ready when we pop out after touching all those... fish.

[ She is visibly trying not to shudder. And gag. ]

With their.. slimy scales and beady eyes... which I'm totally fine with! Yes. If I keep telling myself that over and over, it has to be true. Yup. I'm totally fine.

[ She's trying, Alberto, wherever you are. ]

Yelling Yetis

[ Now this is more her speed! Monster-fighting 101! She arrives on the scene with a big grin on her face, eyes glittering with glee! She then slaps whoever is next to her on the back... ]

I'll go distract them, and you sneak up from behind! You got this!

[ She doesn't wait for you to agree, disagree, or even ask who the hell she is, because she's already running into the line of sight for the Yetis, ready to be the Best Distraction Ever. ]

Hey, you overgrown teddy-bears! You think you even stood a chance at those games? We would've totally kicked your butts with our eyes closed and our hands tied behind our backs! Nyah nyah nyah!

[ Understandably, the Yetis don't take this well, and those are some VERY loud roars... ]

Beta Testing

[ As impulsive and curious as Della is, even she knows that if you're putting blood in a magical item, there's going to be a weird time. So as tempting as it is to chuck the stone at someone and go HERE LET'S SEE WHAT THIS DOES, she does have some brain cells and empathy.

So, taking a note from her Uncle Scrooge, she decides a little profit play is in order. Pay a little now, earn a lot more later. So outside of the Duck Household, she's set up a little table and chairs with sandwiches, cookies, tea, her moon rabbit chilling nearby, and a small sign propped up on said table.

WILL PAY FOR EXPERIMENT
2,000 G for trying
+8,000 G bad result
+10,000 G good result
free lunch :)

Her business-savvy is... not great. But, hey, free lunch? She's sitting down, feet on the table, chowing down, and offering a thumbs up for anyone who stops to see what this is. ]

'Sup? You interested?

[ You know the drill, drop anything here! Feel free to plot with me at plurk (melcat33) or discord (melcat33#1997) ]

Not like I was any better.

[He shrugged and then pulled up the seat to sit down. He wobbled a little, not exactly used to having a tail. Or webbed feet. Watching himself was also a bit of a trip.

Still, he did a smile a little himself. She amused him, given this was definitely something most people would have a panic attack over and here they were just sitting and introducing themselves. He just hoped (and was like, 99.9% certain) that this was going to be temporary anyway.]

Mm, guess so. I'm Minato Arisato. Is lunch still on the menu? I was hungry before agreeing.

[Which she might feel at this point. He has a bit of an appetite.]

Of course! And so's the pay! ... If I can still you using my phone... or we can do it after we switch back. I'm a duck of my word.

[ With that, she grabs a sandwich, and begins eating while talking. Manners aren't her strong point. ]

So, is this a good result or a bad result for you? I don't paying you the big bucks either way! You earned it, my man!

[He patted the pockets of his clothes to see if he could locate Della's phone.]

We can do it now, my phone's in my back pocket. [he paused his search to think for a moment.] I can't say it's particularly good or bad.

[He hadn't been expecting to plan his day as a anthropomorphic duck, but he figured it could have been worse. He was then distracted by the cookies and took one to chew. At least eating with a beak didn't feel too different.]

It's interesting. What about you?

Oh, this is definitely cool! Not something I'd wanna keep forever, no offense, but the best way to learn about others is experience! Once this is all over, I'm gunna document everything I felt!

[ She begins to fish out Minato's phone as well - Della's will be nestled in the pocket of her pilot's jacket. ]

Plus, it's kinda nice to have two flesh legs again.

[ Yeah, he might not have realized it until now, but as it turns out - one of Della's legs is a prosthetic... made out of rocket-ship parts. ]

None taken, not sure I want to be a duck forever either.

[He did happen to notice the prosthetic leg, but he wasn't to comment on such things off the cuff. Although it did feel weird because it wasn't like was used to having one. But, since she brought it up.]

Can I ask what happened to this one?

[He gestured to the prosthetic.]

The short, less tragic version? Crash-landed on the moon. Had to make a new leg out of rocketship-parts.

[ Half-shrug. As if that doesn't raise a million and a half questions! ]
