canon is Marvel: Agents of SHIELD

[wayoutsidethebox]

You know, last time you bribed me here with heroes so you could send me to a prison. A prison with no heroes. Now, you're talking about sending me to placed named after ducks but with no actual ducks.

I'm following this, right? I'm not the only missing the follow through? You're not going to try to bribe me with Daffy? Donald? Those three nephews of his?

If you wanted to see ducks badly enough you could probably just go to a pond.

[mechanica]

Skye, please. Ducks are totally last season. It's all about flapping birds now.

Also, you should probably get out of prison.

[wayoutsidethebox]

Or, you know, the internet where I can see them doing some pretty cute things. It's not about the lack of ducks, it's about principle and not wanting to go to another prison.

[wayoutsidethebox]

I'm going for hipster nature. Flappy Birds? Not cool enough to make the cut.

You know, easier said than done. And it's not really all that easy to say. Bright side? Truth or dare almost made it worth it. Until the death part that might come.

[pettyandtiny]

Ducks are the ones with antlers, are they not?

[mechanica]

If you're a hipster that means ducks were out of season about fifteen years ago. Try pigeons on sidewalks.

Truth or dare, huh? That doesn't sound too awful.

Except for, you know. The dying part. Try not to do that.

[binaryoppositions]

The place without ducks is a prison too?

That would explain why it doesn't have any, I guess.

[nosedive]

Hey, everyone should be so lucky as to be sent to a place with ducks! I'm from Puckworld - we were ALL ducks there.

[wayoutsidethebox]

Not so far but who knows where it goes after false advertisement. Besides, two prisons? That'd have to be a whole new level of hate.

[wayoutsidethebox]

I'll take bad hipster over old cat lady, thanks.

The dying part's not part of the game. I'm not planning on losing but that would be my opt out point.

How do you have an icon so close to that sentence? xD

[wayoutsidethebox]

Uh, no, that'd be deer, elk, anything that looks like it could fly a sleigh. [It's Thor!] Unless they have them on Asgard and then yeah, nevermind, they are.

[wayoutsidethebox]

But this place has no ducks. Dramadramaduck with no ducks. Heard there's lot of drama, so there's that.

Puckworld, huh? Not a bad pun.

[nosedive]

No ducks? Okay, is cool. There SHOULD be ducks, though. Ducks rock!

Pun? I never thought of it that way. It's called Puckworld because of our love for hockey. EVERYONE plays hockey on Puckworld. My bro and friends and I ended up here in Anaheim, as The Mighty Ducks hockey team (we actually came to fight Dragaunus, the lizard who conquered our home world, but being able to play hockey is a great side benefit!)

Good luck in your drama place, sounds kind of like a bummer.

[wayoutsidethebox]

So, you're part of a hockey team called Mighty Ducks on Puckworld? Oh, yeah, somebody went pun overboard.

How's the dragon slaying going for you? Meet any cute princesses?

It's actually okay, I hear. Home's pretty cool so, I won't complain about not having to leave.

[nosedive]

Nah, we weren't The Mighty Ducks until we came here, chasing Dragaunus. We were just a bunch of rebels trying to fight against the lizard takeover after they enslaved us (fun times, not.)

No princesses, but there was a refugee from our planet that was gorgeous, Lucretia DeCoy. Duke and I were kinda fighting over her until it turned out she was a spy for the lizards. Bummer.

Ah, okay. It's good to have a home to go back to. Hope ours is doing better since we left.

[wayoutsidethebox]

So, you went to fight a dragon and ended up playing hockey. Is it the name? Did you try basketball or football first?

Come on, hot girl turns out to be a spy? They went old school for that one.

Hope? Still not been back?

[nosedive]

You kidding, girl? I come from Puckworld! Hockey all the way!

Yeah, well, the writers of our show have been known for their desperation and bad puns.

Can't go back - we came through a dimensional portal that closed up after it swallowed our former leader, Canard Thunderbeak. Tragic, dude. :(

[mechanica]

I'm just saying pigeons are where it's at.

I should have guessed you were playing to win.

[binaryoppositions]

Maybe if you ask nicely you'll get to go somewhere more pleasant.

it was all part of my plan, boo

[pettyandtiny]

Fly a sleigh? What task would that accomplish?

[ What. ]

I apologize. There are so many creatures of Midgard that I am unfamiliar with. It's sometimes difficult to keep track of them all.

[wayoutsidethebox]

Been there, asked that. Nowhere was option one. That got denied pretty fast and I went to prison. I'm a little worried to give option two.

[wayoutsidethebox]

So, what? Pigeon feeder was choice number 2 if rich hero didn't work out?

Genius

[wayoutsidethebox]

Old story we tell kids. Big red guy, goes and gives them all presents on Christmas Eve. And before you ask, I have NO idea why we tell them that.

[wayoutsidethebox]

See, now I wonder if you're limiting yourself. Have you tried other sports?

Did it spit him back out?

[binaryoppositions]

I see how that could be a problem.

Okay, new idea. Maybe if you stay quiet enough they'll forget you're around.

[mechanica]

It doesn't have to be one or the other. Clint makes a pretty good pigeon.

threadjack motherfucker

[auspicium]

I what.

[auspicium]

I like ducks.

[nosedive]

I like skateboarding, but then I'm good at skating. Our boots have rocket skates built in so we can fight better. What about you?

Uh-uh. It was the kinda thing where either one person sacrificed themselves, or the whole ship was kaput. He was a good duck.

LRIOGJRGGR

[mechanica]

Just on cue. I thought I heard the flutter of tiny wings.

[wayoutsidethebox]

Staying quiet's not really one of my skills. So, I'm breaking out instead.

[wayoutsidethebox]

I did not need the image of you hand feeding somebody bread in the park.

[wayoutsidethebox]

No rocket boots but I do have a few cute pairs. Sounds like I'll be sticking to my computer.

[She bits her lip and nods.] Yeah, he sounds like he was a good duck.

[wayoutsidethebox]

Yeah, I mean, they're okay but there's none there. False advertisement, out in the open.

[pettyandtiny]

It is a part of your culture? If that is the case you should know it's origin.

[ He was trying not to make a baffled expression at how weird it sounded. ]

[binaryoppositions]

Is that really a good idea?

[mechanica]

I don't handfeed him. I pretend to throw it and watch him try to figure out where it is.

[wayoutsidethebox]

If you knew the place, that wouldn't be a question. It's not about if I'm going to die but about when.

[wayoutsidethebox]

I'm beginning to wonder if your working alone thing was a choice.

[wayoutsidethebox]

Old St. Nicholas. I know...think, it comes from that much. Never really cared enough to look into it more.

[mechanica]

You're just jealous I have a human slash bird hybrid and you don't.

[pettyandtiny]

A saint? If he is of such high status perhaps you should reconsider.

[binaryoppositions]

You're... on death row?

[ How even. ]

[wayoutsidethebox]

Here's the killer...bad choice of words, but no, I'm not.

So, are you on the level where I can something that sounds completely impossible but because it's here, it actually sounds completely possible?

[wayoutsidethebox]

I'll be more jealous if you can prove he actually likes you.

[wayoutsidethebox]

He's dead. Besides, if he left a legacy of sneaking into people's houses at night to bribe kids, I'll spare myself the stories.

[She actually has nothing against how happy he can make the kids. The story's just kind of funny when you're grown.]

[binaryoppositions]

It takes a lot to make me question what's possible.

[mechanica]

Does he have to show it in a conventional way?

[pettyandtiny]

... you Midgardians honor very strange men.
