I Am Not Throwing Away My Shot

[doctorintern]

🧙 WHO: Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera/Gizmoduck and YOU
⚔️️ WHAT: Catch-all for the month
🕒 WHEN: March
🗺️ WHERE: Throughout Camelot
⚠️ WARNINGS: Probably nothing, but will add if anything comes up

A. I'm Young, Scrappy, and Hungry (Exploring the City)

[ It had taken a shockingly small amount of time for Fenton to adjust to the fact of being pulled into a whole different world; one where the legend of King Arthur and knights was not only real, but also infused with magic and technology blended together to create a city that was somehow modern with the lingering rustic feeling of days of old. Part of him thinks he should maybe be a bit worried about trying to get home, but the whole thing was completely fascinating, and he isn't sure if he's in shock or if he's just worked for Mr. McDuck long enough that strange things just aren't that strange anymore.

The first thing to do, of course, is to get his bearings. After finding the hotel where he could stay for a while (not exactly how he expected to finally start living on his own, but beggars can't be choosers), he takes to the streets to look around the city. Luckily the phone he was provided was easy to figure out, similar to the phones back home (he was just itching to take it apart and see how it worked, and it's only the magitech part of it that really stopped him), and he had found a map app that he was using to help navigate, making notes of possible useful locations on the app compared to their physical position in the world.

He may also be a bit distracted as he studies the map on his phone. He could probably use some help, or at least someone pointing out if he happens to be in the way. ]

B. I Probably Shouldn't Brag, But Dag (Sir Fuzzlerton the Cad)

Sir Fuzzlerton...! Oh, Sir Fuzzlerton! Where are you?

[ It probably isn't the most practical thing to walk around and look at every pop-up Bunny Cafe for a single one, but that is what Fenton is doing right now, calling for the missing royal rabbit as he walks to the next cafe. ]

Come on out, Sir Fuzzlerton! We've gotta get you home!

[ This would probably quicker with the Gizmosuit, but at least he's getting more of a chance to look around. ]

C. I Amaze and Astonish (Run Snagglefoot Run)

[ Fenton realizes pretty quickly that, while the Gizmosuit has arrived here with him, its functions have become quite limited. He isn't sure if something about the magitech was affecting it or if it was something else, and it was definitely something that he would have to look into later. But he tries not to worry about it too much. He's done good without the suit before, after all, and he can do so when the suit's options were limited.

Right now, though, there is a criminal to apprehend! Finding a (hopefully) private area to declare the passcode, he becomes Gizmoduck once more and is off, first meeting with the jewelry shop owners before following clues and a trail towards the Red Spring Inn where Snagglefoot is supposedly trying to get transportation to make his escape.

Well, not if he has anything to say about it! ]

D. The Problem is I Got a Lot of Brains, But No Polish (Farmers-R-Us)

[ Fenton doesn't really know much about farming, honestly, but it only seems fair to help out since arrivals such as himself were causing a larger demand for food. Even if they hadn't had much of a choice in coming, the fact is they were here now, and so they should do what they can to help.

He decides to use the suit, because it does help make the work easier. He could probably be fine working on his own, but he's more than happy to assist anyone who appears to be struggling. ]

Greetings! Can I lend you a hand?

E. I Gotta Holler Just to be Heard (Wildcard)

((Continued from here))

[ Fenton laughs faintly. ] Honestly, you couldn't be any worse than I am about keeping it a secret.

[sos_pilot]

Well, long as you're spilling them... What else can the suit do, besides epic transformations and pies?

[doctorintern]

Well, it helps enhance my strength, speed, and durability...and my reach. Plus it, uh...normally it has a wide range of weapons and gadgets in its arsenal.

[ Said with a strong emphasis on 'normally'. ]

[sos_pilot]

[ And of course, when you emphasize it that way... ]

... And you're saying right now it's not "normal"?

[doctorintern]

Uh...well... [ He pauses a moment, looking down at the folded up armor. ] Even when I was briefly in the suit, I noticed that there were several programs with errors. I didn't get much of a chance to look into them, but it seems that there are things either missing or I'm unable to access.

[sos_pilot]

Well. That's a bummer.

[ to put it mildly. ]

... Is there any way you can fix it? I know we're in some Camelot-styled world, but if they have smartphones, maybe they have other kinds of tech?

[doctorintern]

I'm definitely going to try. I'll have to work from memory, though. While there's a basic breakdown for the suit's systems in its mainframe, most of the schematics for the suit are back at the lab.

[ The lab...back home. ]

Though learning to incorporate this world's tech into the suit would be an interesting feat. I'll have to look into that.

[sos_pilot]

I'm sure you can do it, Fenton! And if there's any way I can help, you let me know! We ducks gotta stick together!

[ Hearty SLAP on the back! We're friends now!!! ... also yeah we're the only ducks here that can walk and talk, apparently ]

[doctorintern]

[ He stumbles a bit under the force of her...pat on the back, but still manages a smile. He did have to admit, it was nice to have a familiar face around here...even if they hadn't really spoken before this. ]

Thanks! I'd appreciate the help, uh...it was Della, right?

[ He's pretty sure Huey's mentioned that was his mother's name. ]

[sos_pilot]

Della Duck, pilot extraordinaire.

All right, I've bugged you with plenty of questions, so, now's your fair shot at me. Whaddya got?

[whatsamada]

[After spending a month at Rent A Horse, Ken had thought he knew a thing or two about farming. But alas, it just wasn't the case as he looked at the ground with an angry look. Mumbling to himself, he was wondering if he was doing something wrong or if he just was missing a step or two.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, that's when he heard a voice. Although, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at him.]

Uh...I suppose? Do you know what I'm doing wrong? [He shouldn't be surprised to see various talking animals around here. However, at the same time? Was that really a walking, talking duck in front of him??]

[doctorintern]

[ A walking, talking duck in a suit of robo-armor.

Gizmoduck tilts his head a little, trying to see if there were any obvious problems. ]

Well, I admit that farming isn't quite my area of expertise. But I'm sure we can figure it out. Can you describe each step of what you did?

[whatsamada]

[And Ken is just going to keep on staring despite him being used to the various odd creatures he sees around here.

Although, he didn't stare for long as he looked up in the air.]

Let's see, I loosen the soil so that it'll make it easier to plant things? Or am I doing it wrong? [Because a farmer Ken was most definitely not.]

[doctorintern]

[ Gizmoduck reaches down to feel the soil a little bit. ]

No, that's certainly the right thing to do. Although you might be planting them a little too close together. It's best to space them apart so that they can absorb enough nutrients.

[ He may not be a farmer, but he is certainly a scientist. ]

[whatsamada]

[Meanwhile, Ken just looked at Fenton and then back at the ground.]

You think that's the problem? I never knew that I needed to do that, I figured all I needed to do was plant, water them, and uh...

[He said before trailing off a little.] A little bit of love and it will work out?

[doctorintern]

Well, all of those are certainly necessary and will help the vegetation grow! But having some space between each other would also help, otherwise the plants will be competing with each other for nutrients.

A bit of fertilizer would also be helpful.

[whatsamada]

Is there a type that would allow them to grow better?

[He said before looking at said ground before pulling his head down. Planting sure was a lot more difficult than he thought.]

I know there are certain brands that would make it help but any you would recommend?

[doctorintern]

Well, um...to be honest, I'm not entirely familiar with types of fertilizer. But I suppose it would depend on the type of nutrients the crops would need.

[whatsamada]

[In return, Ken just gave a small hum before placing his head down once more.]

I'm not sure what kind I would need for the crops I did. This really is a lot harder than I thought! No wonder this is a quest, it really requires you to think!

[startraveler]

[Travelling through many worlds, Aether has seen a lot in his life, but a talking duck walking into a bunny cafe to look for someone (something?) is definitely not one of those.

As the other keeps on calling "Sir Fuzzlerton", the traveler walks up first with a curious look on his face, then a smile overtakes his features.]

Do you need help? It'll be faster if both of us look.

[Assisting people in need is what he does the best.]

[doctorintern]

[ Fenton jumps, slightly startled. He is still getting used to all these 'humans' himself, but he returns the smile readily enough anyway. ]

Oh well...yes, I suppose I could use some, thank you. I've lost count of how many bunny cafes I've looked, and I still haven't found this missing rabbit.

[startraveler]

[At that Aether gives the other another friendly smile. No need to be worried, he doesn't bite.]

...I see. Does this rabbit have any distinct features? Or will it just react to its own name?

[The boy blinks, then smiles more sheepishly.]

And speaking of names... I'm Aether. [And he extends his gloved hand for a handshake.]

[doctorintern]

[ With a smile, he accepts the hand and gives it an enthusiastic shake. ]

Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera. Nice to meet you.

[ Then there's a long pause as he thinks. ]

...Uh...well, to be honest, I'm not really sure what it looks like. [ He had just seen that someone's beloved pet was missing and taken off. ]

[startraveler]

It's nice to meet you too.

[The smile on his face turns into a frown as Fenton explains that he doesn't know how the rabbit looks like. Aether thinks about it for a moment.]

We could either ask if anyone has seen a rabbit that wasn't here before or we could look for one that stands out...

[He's thinking out loud.]

Gonging back to the person who requested help and asking for more details would also be an option...

[He's a professional at requests.]

[doctorintern]

It would probably be better to check with the person who made the request. With all the pop-up cafes, a number of rabbits are probably coming and going.

[ He pulls out his phone and scrolls through it. ]

Let's see...I think it was, uh...Lady Perinwa Bledsoe?
