i. Main Street USA: Daylight Hours
The citizens of Main Street greet the coming of fall in a big way! The entire main part of town is decorated in the colors of fall, carved pumpkins on every window ledge, balcony and stoop! Some are rather creative, ranging from The King himself to various spook-tacular versions. There are also plain pumpkins, squash and apples arranged in a rather decorative (and tasty) presentation outside the Opera House!

Enjoy yourselves as The Candy Palace begins to hand out small, caramel and spice covered apple slices. The smell of apple fritters, grilled apples and apple bacon float through the air. Enjoy the rather relaxed daylight hours...

ii.Main Street USA: After Dark

Because the moment the sun sets, and the lamps have been lit- the entire street takes on a strange and unsettling demeanor. The pumpkins glow a soft, red color and bats and black cats crawl around the shadowed corners. You might see several citizens wandering the streets-but look to hard and they will suddenly vanish before you can even greet them.

The stores are still open and the sweets and treats are still pouring; but! Beware of happy haunts~!

iii. Yo ho, yo ho a Pirates life for me!

Ah! Smell that salty, briny air! It gives life to all those who are from or love the sea!

Which would be wonderful and invigorating, if this was the bottom of the beautiful briny sea. It isn't. It's the open garden in front of the train station which is no being over run by some rather fishy, lv. 2 Corroded! Can you help sweep the proverbial beach clean without being washed away by water based attacks? The conductors would be most grateful if you could!

iv.Come out and Socialize!

No need to be number one thousand! Imagination is the real host here, so go on and use your to come up with your own adventure. Just remember to take loved ones by the hand, please, our ghosts are frightfully sensitive to too much mischief~

History meant homework and she usually phoned that in when she could get away with it.

"No video games?! No TV? What is this? The dark ages!?" She looked like she was ready to go yell at someone. "Those weird old guys are in charge right? We'll just see about this no TV no video game thing! I'm not in trouble" for once, "I didn't do anything wrong and I refuse to be punished for something I didn't do!" Of course her dad punished her all the time for things she didn't do. Like her homework or cleaning her room....

[beancounter]

Fenton winced a little, and looked at her sympathetically. "It's... it's not like that, Gos. It's not meant to be a punishment. It's like... this world is from a different time than ours. They just don't have that technology. I don't think there's anything they can do about it."

He sighed, and rubbed the back of his head. "...Look. I might have some cookies back at my apartment. I know I've got hot chocolate. How about we go there, and you can rest up a bit. I'm sure you're still a bit... ...wound up from just having arrived here."

[keen_gear]

"I'm not tired," she said grumpily, crossing her arms. She was, but no way she was about to admit that now. "How can this world have no TV? Everyone needs TV? And what about superheroes? Back home one of them had what looked like a TV in his chest. If there are no TVs how is Gizmoduck or Darkwing or anyone supposed to save the day?"

Her dad would MELT DOWN if his gas gun didn't work. And what about his motorcycle? Or the Thunderquack?

[beancounter]

Oh, Gos... you have no idea how close to home, and how hard, that hit. Fenton drew back a bit, taking in a breath and biting the bottom of his beak. "They're... not just about the TVs. Gizmoduck can... could... function without a TV." Maybe. He hoped. But the suit wasn't working. He had no idea if it could... WOULD ever work. The Dreamfinder had given him hope that the possibility of getting the suit working WAS a possibility (though he didn't know what Fenton had actually been asking about, when he'd offered his explanation, way back then). His hands clench and unclench faintly, and he clears his throat. "Darkwing doesn't need technology in order to fight crime..." he mumbles softly. "He'd be just fine, here."

He looked away, down the street towards the castle, although he really wasn't looking at anything, at the moment. Yeah. Darkwing would be just fine, here. He'd have no problems being a superhero. All he needed was his wits, his ingenutiy, and his determination. HIMSELF, on the other hand... Well... He was at an utter loss, wasn't he? Absolutely useless without the suit. ... Well, maybe not quite useless. He had his magic, now... and Lydia (and Atem) were great at supporting him, making him realize that even without his super suit, he could still do heroic things, here (even if they didn't realize just exactly what had been bothering him, on that mission).

"There's magic," he said softly. "We all have magic, here... We are all supposed to save the day with magic..."

He sounded a bit unsure, though. Or perhaps that was melancholy. Gosalyn had just - however unintentionally - reminded him that he couldn't be the superhero he was used to being, here. Insecurity hit, and it hit HARD... and way more often, still, than Fenton liked.

Oh no! Gos, you broke him!

[keen_gear]

"So Morgana would be fine, but what about the rest of us? I don't know how to use magic." She huffed, crossing her arms. "And unless magic can power TVs, what's the point of it?" she threw her hands in the air, exasperated. Of course Darkwing and Gizmo Duck could be heroes without tech, but had he ever heard how a hero WHINES when something happens to his toys? She has.

"Tell you what, Darkwing or Gizmo show up here, YOU can tell them that they don't have their tech. I'll watch with popcorn, okay?"

[beancounter]

"Well, you can learn magic. All of us can use magic here. Look!" Fenton took a step back, and held out his hand. "I wish I had an apple in my hand, right now!" There was a puff of air, and a red, shiny apple appeared in Fenton's hand. He felt a wave of exhaustion come over him from casting the spell, but he offered Gosalyn a tired smile. "See? Anyone can do this! We just... yawn... have to be trained, first. And different classes use different spells." He peered at the apple a little skeptically. "Sometimes these don't always work right... so the taste might be off. Hope not. Should have been simple enough."

She really was hung up on the no-TV thing, wasn't she? Well, Fenton could understand, to an extent. His mother would probably think this place was hell, with no TV. He holds the apple in both hands, fingers nervously drumming against it. Ahh, Gosalyn... if only you knew. Gizmoduck was here... and he was upset that his suit wasn't working, but more sad than anything else, about it. "Ahh... I'll be sure to pass on that memo, yes. If and when Darkwing... ...or Gizmoduck ever arrive." Fenton had been wondering if secret identies were even feasable, in this world that had so few ducks... but old habits were hard to break, and he still clung hard to keeping his secret identity a secret.

Is it odd I kind of wish Launchpad was here for this? LOL

[keen_gear]

She blinked at the apple, then brightened right up. "Keen gear! Okay! Make a TV next!" she said, clapping her hands.

single minded to a fault.

But if they could just magic up things, what were they doing wasting time just standing around talking for? she had a christmas wish a mile long. Including... "Can we wish people here too? Like dad and Darkwing and Launchpad and Honker?"

I want Launchpad *AND* Drake! XD

[beancounter]

One-track mind, this kid... Fenton just raised a brow, then sighed tiredly and shook his head. "I'm afraid a TV is a little beyond me. Even if I could conjure one up, I don't think we'd get any programs..." Now, if they could get a gaming system, and some games, that would probably work, but... Fenton isn't about to suggest that. Best not to get her hopes up.

And speaking of hopes... Fenton's frown grows, and he feels the weight of guilt and sadness heap up on his shoulders. "I'm afraid it doesn't work that way, Gosalyn. We can't control who comes, or when. We can only just... hope that they come."

Then I would HAVE to app Gos... (Also, I LOVE that icon)

[keen_gear]

"I bet if we work together we could make one! And if there aren't any shows here.... well... we'll just make that too! You'll see." She forced cheerfulness into her voice because she couldn't handle the thought of her dad possibly not showing up.

finally getting back to this! ^_^;

[beancounter]

Fenton couldn't help but chuckle, softly. She might have been stuck on the TV thing, but... he sure couldn't fault her determination and enthusiasm. He reached out a hand to her. "Come on. Let's get in you in some place, and get you something to eat. You can crash at my place, if you want. I'm sure Webby would love to have another girl duck her age to talk to. We'll find what apartment you're supposed to be in tomorrow."

The event is a lot! No worries! :D (If I app her, she needs more icons.)

[keen_gear]

"Another... girl duck?" she wilted a bit. "She's not going to just want to talk about dresses and dolls is she? Last time someone decided I should have a friend my own age who was a girl I got grounded for a week." And how unfair was that? It wasn't her fault she hit the other duck after all. She was trying to explain how exciting field hockey could be and got a little over excited. Even HONKER knew to dodge when she wound up like that.

[beancounter]

Fenton frowned a little. "And what's wrong with that? The Webby from my world is like that, but she's very sweet!" He sighed and shook his head. "But no. This Webby's actually from another reality. One like ours, but different. She..." He pauses, then chuckles a little. "She's a lot like you, actually. Very energetic and rambunctious. Ready to leap into action, and fight off the corroded. Excited at the prospect of adventure. I think you two'd get along well, actually."

[keen_gear]

"Whoa! Really? You're not fooling me?" If he was messing with her and this was some prissy little wimp in a pink frilly dress he was totally (or should that be toad-ally?) getting a toad in his bed. And some swamp muck in his pillow case for good measure.

[beancounter]

Seriously... what was wrong with liking pink dresses and being sweet? Though Gosalyn was such a spirited tomboy, it probably was just a youthful gut reaction to something completely opposite of herself.

Fenton raised his hands in a surrender gesture, chuckling sheepishly. "I promise, I'm not fooling you! You can come see for yourself. And if you still don't like it, well... I'll help you find the apartment you're supposed to be rooming in, okay?" He was going to do that ANYWAY, it just might end up being sooner rather than later.

[keen_gear]

"Alright...." she said reluctantly excited. "Think SHE can magic us up a TV?" she asked hopefully as she bounced slightly on webbed feet.

[beancounter]

At that comment, Fenton just slapped a hand to his forehead and laughed. Loudly. And unrestrained. "Gosalyn... you really ARE quite the amazing kid, you know that?" he managed between fits of chuckles. It felt really good to laugh like that. It made him feel so much lighter, like things weren't quite as bad as he thought they might be.

"If you really, really want a TV, we can ask some of the other Apprentices. Ones who are a bit better at conjuring things than I am. I'm not exactly sure which ones they are, but we'll find out, okay?"


(ooc: I think we may have to wrap this up soon, cuz I don't quite know where to go from here. ^.^; Also going to bed, now! o/)

[keen_gear]

(yeah, probably. May try and poke the Jack player to see if we can get Drake apped in December >.>)

She grinned. She liked making people laugh. It was better than having them yell at her, anyhow. "Well of course I knew that, bout time you figured it out," she said with a smirk.

[beancounter]

Fenton just shook his head, but he was still grinning. He gave Gosalyn a small nod of his head in acceptance. "Well, consider me properly educated in your greatness, then."


(ooc: going to bed soon, I swear! ^_^; And Lydia's player plays Drake too; was doing a small PSL with her, had fun. :3 What's Jack's player's Drake/Darkwing like?)

[keen_gear]

(It is an IRL friend, not got to play much with their dw, but LOVE rping with them in general! I'd have to app Gos if either mun brought in Drakie, honestly.)

"See now that's a kind of education I can get behind!" She grinned, ready to go with him.
