You see that obnoxiously cheery gingerbread house with the smoke coming out of a chimney, decorated in candy canes and gumdrops? That's mine. Believe me, I'm not any fonder of the eyesore than you likely are, but we'll just have to deal with it, won't we. I'm here for one reason and one reason only: any threat to the worlds is a threat to my brother. I'll cooperate with you to the extent that we can finish this, but that's all. I'm not here to make friends. But if any of you are somehow in need of children's toys, feel free to drop by. My door's always open for trades.

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!

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))

So. I have a weird question, especially for the ladies.

Date suggestions, and maybe some advice.

Don't ask how this happened, I'm still trying to figure it out myself. (Shut up, Eizen.) But it's really more of a challenge than anything romantic, and I want to win this. [He's really selling his appeal, isn't he.]

Hunting and sparring is already an idea (yes, she does like those), but I was thinking of maybe trying something a little more...normal? [And now how does he talk about Velvet without saying it's Velvet and not potentially embarrassing her by talking too much.] I know some of her preferences and will try to keep those in mind, but that's about it.

So what do most girls generally like or don't like? Any good cafés or restaurants you've noticed around the Index? Or hangout place? I personally haven't really checked any before, but I will once we get back.

Like I said I'm not trying to win her over or anything, just let her actually have some fun and enjoy herself. She hasn't had that kind of experience in a while, so...

Anyway, thanks.

[...That's probably as subtle as he can get, so he'll just leave it at that. But that should do it, right? Good enough. Just tell him stuff that will help him win this unsaid bet—]

[ooc: just a note that Rokurou filtered this away from Velvet, but that won't be obvious to other people. he doesn't necessarily want to announce it's with Velvet since that just seems weird (like this whole thing isn't already), but if asked he'd probably answer. OH and this is set during Act II while everyone is still kind of chilling.]

So, I suppose I should introduce myself. My name's Scrooge McDuck, and I've only recently arrived. Seems like there may be some sort of ball going on? I presume this is something rather important.

A little about me, I suppose. I'm an entrepeneur and an adventurer extradordinaire, and absolutely nobody is going to laY A FINGER ON MY MONEY-

[That was written in a quick, escalating hand with blotches at the end as if the writer trembled then. There's a considerably pause before he scratches that out with a single line and continues.]

I apologize, something quite... came over me there.

So then, you know a little about me. Who all is here, and what do I need to catch up with?

Alright, I think I've got this down: Save the stories by defeating bad guys, stopping the Story Eater, and bringing back the heroes, right? Super easy!

Name's Della Duck! Mom, pilot, adventurer... Unstoppable and not entirely sure why I'm wearing a toga now. Huh. Oh, well!

Anyway, to all the other Aspects out there, let's get cracking on this! I've got a family to get back to, but I wasn't about to skip out on coming here. Not if this danger can spread. My boys have been through enough.

[The end of that underline trails oddly, as if the quill was dropped.]

WOAH! My arm starting growing feathers for a second, there. That's new! Well, no, not exactly. I mean, my arms always have feathers, but not like that.

Oh! Right, what's up with nobody having feathers or fur or anything here? That's weird, guys.
