I'm considering the idea of offering Kung Fu lessons in the Index. I've studied Kung Fu extensively for many years, and I've helped teach Kung Fu to students back home. So I'd like to see how many people might be interested in learning.

I should probably mention, though, the style of Kung Fu that I specialize in isn't about physical power or raw strength. It focuses on defense, evasion, precision, and redirecting your opponents' strength to use against them. If anyone is interested in learning, let me know and we can try to arrange something.

Hey, everyone. I've got a pretty simple question- well actually I don't know if it's really all that simple but-

I'm getting ahead of myself.

So, I don't know all that much about being in a relationship. I didn't even have a word for it until I was talking to someone else and it came up. Sure, I know about hanging out together and doing special things with each other, and different things like that.

But what can you do to become closer? Me and Wembley, we're really close already, but I wouldn't call that "relationship close." And Fraggles, we have romance and stuff but nothing really special, not like I've seen with the Gorgs- oh uh, other people from my home world -or others here in the Index, like special customs. So I'm basically just asking for ideas of something Wembley and I can do together, or that I can do for Wembley, that would make our relationship really something.

Just don't mention it to Wembley if you know him, eh? I wanna surprise him.

So I've been trying to keep track of the dates, and I think it's around Thanksgiving! For those of you who don't have that holiday in your own worlds, it's basically supposed to be a time when you can come together with family to eat and give thanks for the good things in your life.

Though I'll admit, there's a lot more complicated story behind this holiday, and of course not everyone has a good family to go back to. Still, I think it'd be nice for all of us to talk a bit about what exactly we're thankful for!

I'll start by saying I'm thankful for my family back home, and the new friends I've made here!

As long as I'm stuck here, I might as well use all of you to my advantage. I've been here long enough - correction, Scrooge McDuck and I have been here long enough that no doubt he's mentioned me once or twice.

(The round one.)

But knowing that cheap miser, I doubt he's told you the whole story. So allow me to pose a query to you all.

Let's say you have a enemy you've been fighting with for years. It's been frustrating, exhausting, and you've wasted time and money just to keep them away. They've hexed your body, mind, home, everything they can get their hands on, time and time again. They've gone after your family and friends.There's no doubt they'll be hounding you for the rest of your life. However, there is one simple way to make them go away forever and never hear from them again.

One dime.

For those of you with different money systems, think of it as the smallest, cheapest, almost-close-to-worthless amount of money you can own.

Would you or would you not hand it over so you can know peace for the rest of your days?

Hey everyone! I've got a question that I've been kicking around for a while, so I decided to write it down here and see what sorta answers I got.

How many of you found out something new when you came here?

Alright so I know we're always finding out something new but what I mean is, something significant that you might've only learned HERE. Like the story your Essence came from, or the stories in any Missions you might've gone on, if you've been here long enough for that. Or maybe something about holidays, technology, or even the people you've met.

For me for instance, well, I guess it'd be all of the above. I didn't know anything about Hermes, or places like this at all, and I knew about Christmas (sorta) but not Halloween. It's been... one giant learning experience so far, I've got to say...


[It's also been pretty overwhelming, but he's not going to put that in a general missive.]

So, what about you? Oh and thanks ahead of time for any and all answers.

Greetings, all. A few new faces have shown up in the Index here, as I'm sure many have noticed; if you are one of those people, welcome.

This is no pleasant conversation, however. This is a warning. One of the newest arrivals is someone from my world, a witch named Magica De Spell. You can't miss her, she's a duck like I am with long black hair and one of the worst personalities you'll ever come across. Likely I, or perhaps the other Scrooge that also arrived recently, will be the focus of her efforts but my message here is in the event that that changes.

I know many of you are quite capable of taking care of yourselves. But Magica is sly, sneaky, and can wield immense power whenever she gets her hands on the right spell objects. For a small sample of our past encounters: I've had meteors called down on my Money Bin; our bodies have been swapped; my family has been manipulated and hypnotized multiple times; she's had dragons and demons at her disposal; gravity itself was bent at an angle; and she's implanted false histories and memories. Additionally, even if she's without her magic for one reason or another, she always has a weapon she calls "foof bombs" at her disposal. These are like the smoke bomb's more wicked cousin, in that once thrown they create a dizzying cloud that will knock you blinded and senseless for several minutes. Judging by her appearance when I saw her, her Essence is Circe herself, and I shudder to think what powers that might give her here.

So, consider this your warning in case you happen to cross her path at the wrong time (and there are very few right times). She is a powerful, tricky, manipulative villainess, and with her now being here that unfortunately makes her no longer my problem alone. I can try to field any questions, if you have them, but I can't stand idly by just knowing that she's here in the Index.

Avoid at all costs.


((OOC: This is currently filtered from Magica, though of course anyone's free to let her know Scrooge totally just ratted her out))
