For Della and Drake - House Hunting

[doctorintern]

[ While Fenton didn't really mind the free room he had at the hotel, it would be nice to have something a bit bigger. Having a bit more space would be easier to work, as well as having some room for Atom to run around. And, while he was saving most of his earnings to create the science lab he still wanted to get started, he found he was still making enough to find a larger residence. He and Drake had talked about probably finding a place together anyway, so that could help cover the costs. Eventually he extended the invitation to Della as well, since they were the only three from the same universe and it was just comforting sticking together. Birds of a feather and whatnot.

As far as he knew, though, Della wasn't aware of Drake's secret as Darkwing Duck, so how they were going to manage that he isn't sure. But they'll worry about that later.

For the moment, Fenton had met up with the other two to discuss the house they would get - looking at available listings, deciding whether it'd be easier to find one or just build one of their own - and what kind of things they would need for the house.

Shouldn't be too bad, right? ]

[sos_pilot]

[ Della is thrilled to be living with people again! Living alone on the moon for so long, she's pleased as punch with these plans.

When she arrives, she throws her arms around both Fenton and Drake's necks in a weird choke-hug. She means well. ]

This is gunna be great! I work much better in threes anyway! The new dream team!

[flapsin]

[Drake was quite eager to find somewhere new to live. What superhero operates out of a hotel room anyway? A home is one step closer to having some kind of proper base of operations. And living with Fenton could be a good boon too, for access to gadgets and so that he can help him out whenever he wants with his show! He'll just have to be careful, seeing as Della doesn't know his secret identity yet... but she seems like good people, and he'd feel bad leaving her on her own, so why not throw one more roomie into the mix!

He's taken by surprise by the choke-hug, and it takes him a moment to realize it isn't some bully ambushing him. So he stops himself from trying any judo throws! Instead, he just chuckles meekly.]

Three is a good, solid number for a team... [He's definitely not missing a pilot and a kid right now, nope.] I- I'm sure we'll do great!

[doctorintern]

[ Fenton gives out a bit of strangled sound at Della's hold, but manages a faint chuckle. ]

C'mon, guys...I'm all for teamwork, but we're just looking at houses right now. No need to add any pressure to it.

[ Still, if they did well as roommates, then they'd probably be able to work better as a team. ]

[sos_pilot]

[ After another good squeeze to the boys, she mercifully lets them go. ]

Yeah, yeah, yeah... I know money's important, but we gotta find something that's gunna have all we need! Like a lab for Fenton's science stuff, a place where I can train my magic, and... uh...

[ Pause. She doesn't really know much about Drake except 1) Darkwing Nerd and 2) Nice. ]

... I dunno, a shrine for that caped dude?

[flapsin]

[Once released, he steps back and breathes.]

No pressure here, of course! But Della does raise a point. We have to make sure that a place meets all of our needs!

His name's Darkwing Duck, by the way. I don't need a shrine, but it would be nice to have a place to store memorabilia! Maybe a workout room would be great too...

[doctorintern]

[ Fenton, meanwhile, takes the time to jot all this down. ]

Well, I won't need as big a lab since I'm still planning on setting up a public one for people who want to use it, but having an area set aside as a workspace would be nice. Having somewhere we could practice our magic in would be ideal as well...

Honestly, it might be easier if we could build a house for ourselves, but I'm not entirely sure how to go about doing that. The buildings here seem to be built in a very particular way. [ Somehow blending with nature and all. ]

Plus, the costs for a custom house...

[ And he's not entirely sure exactly how the other two earn money, but he could probably find ways to split his own earnings between this and building the science lab if he needed to. ]

[sos_pilot]

[ Della shrugs at that - for once, she does seem to have a realistic sense of things. ]

I've only ever built a rocket-ship, and that was with blueprints already given, and took ten years... so unless Drake here is a secret master at all things brick and concrete, we might not exactly be the best crew to build a whole huge house.

As for funds... I've got some saved up from quests. Don't know how much it'll cover, but I don't mind using it all on the house.

[flapsin]

[Drake raises his hands and shakes his head in dismissal.]

Nope, unfortunately! I played a carpenter once, but - didn't exactly translate to real life. So, don't have a lot of faith in building a house.

I'm still working my way up in the money department. I feel bad relying on someone else to foot a lot, but if it does come to that, I'll be sure to make it up to you! [In time.] Why don't we just start looking at places and see what the selection's like?

[sos_pilot]

I agree with Drake here! Maybe we can find our dream house just by taking a browse! It couldn't hurt to look!

[ One of her heels bounces a bit - she's a little excited to go home shopping. It makes her feel like a real adult! ]

[doctorintern]

[ Fenton nods, though writes down one last thing in his notebook before putting it away. He'll keep the idea of building a house on the back burner - honestly, if it comes down to it they could always try contracting someone.

But for now, he also didn't mind looking. It would be cheaper just to find a place that was already around. ]

Sounds good. I found a few listings for some houses that are being rented out, so we can start from there?

[flapsin]

Excellent! As diligent as ever, buddy. [He says, giving a bump to Fenton's shoulder before pointing to the way onwards.]

Let's get on this adventure! ...A house-hunting adventure!

[sos_pilot]

Oh, Fenton's always got his head on straight when it comes to stuff like this! We're really lucky that he came to this world with us!

[ Apparently this is also a meeting of the Fenton Fan Club! ]

For Makoto - Trowmies Quest

[doctorintern]

[ Fenton had just gone to check out the situation with the Trows when he ran into Makoto along the way. And while normally he wouldn't want someone to be involved in something potentially dangerous, he knew that at least Makoto was able to handle herself. He trusted her, and they did work pretty well together.

Besides, it was for the best that he worked with someone this time. While he was still using the suit, underground tunnels did make him a bit nervous, mostly because he wouldn't be sure if he would fit in the tunnels with the suit until they got there. ]

[roseeclair]

[Meanwhile, this is one of the few times she's envious of the duck's small size. Even without a big, beefy suit of armor, she still has to crawl through the tunnels, and who knows how big the rooms will be. She can already tell she'll need a long, hot soak after this.]

At least we haven't reached any... [Oh...] Forks...

[Liiiiike the one they just came across.]

[doctorintern]

[ When it became apparent that the suit would not fit in the tunnels, Fenton removed it so that it was easier to move around, though he still kept it on hand in his bag just in case. As they come across the fork in the road, though, he frowns a little. ​]

Great...which way should we go.

[ Luckily it was just a two-forked path, but he didn't like the idea of getting separated. Approaching one of the tunnels, he holds his hand up to his head, trying to listen. ]

[roseeclair]

[With how hard the trowes are partying, the tunnels aren't completely quiet. There's music from both sides, but one definitely seems to be louder and laced with more raucous yells than the other.]

Okay, so that one's noisier, that one's quieter... I don't know, do you think the trowes would keep the prisoners close to them or not?

[Mako really, REALLY doesn't want to die in a cave-in, being strangled by magic hair was one breathing-impairment death too many, gracias.]

[doctorintern]

[ Fenton considers that for a moment. If they make a choice and were wrong, he wasn't sure they'd have any time to backtrack. ]

Well...the poster on the board said that the trowes were keeping their friends as pets...If I wanted to show off a pet during a party, I'd probably keep them close by.

[roseeclair]

That makes sense. So... rush in there, maybe see if we can box the trowes in with earth and plants, then try and grab the hostages as fast as possible? Should we try and knock out the trowes too or...?

[doctorintern]

Hmm...I'd rather avoid a confrontation if we can help it. But if we don't do something, there's no telling if they would just try doing this again.

[roseeclair]

Exactly. [Smash and grab, then. Fingers crossed.] I'll take point.

[Because, you know, currently squishy duck boi. It takes another minute or two before they reach a room, thankfully with a taller ceiling, and it looks like most of the trowes are in one place and VERY distracted. Partying like crazy, drinking, pouring drinks on themselves, each other, on their "pets", and... oh look, a magical smokeless barbecue pit in the center. ... Oh that ain't good.]

[doctorintern]

[ Definitely not good. ]

We need to find a way to distract them somehow.

[ Granted, with the drinking they were already distracted well enough. But the people they needed to rescue were right among the trowe, and even with all the drinks they've had they would likely notice if they went in and grabbed them. ]

[roseeclair]

[Okay okay.. what can they use--wait... the drink.]

Okay so... I've only done this with spice before, and I'm not sure how far away I can do it, but I might be able to amp up the alcohol in their drinks.

[doctorintern]

How close would you need to get?

[roseeclair]

No idea... Usually I'm at least holding whatever I'm manipulating, I've never tried it at a distance. But first time for everything, I guess?
