On his appearance at 3Step's visitors' event.

[theduckknight]

So, I've been reading into this place; seems like they could really use a hero. Nice, nice, I appreciate your consideration...

there's ONE maaajor oversight I am entitled to mention! Please for the love of good publicity will you get some better photos of me? No self respecting hero would be seen without some decent press materials!

Thank you and good day.

OMG Let me love you. I adored DW as a child!

[bestseller]

Photos make all the impressions.

Me too~! Here's hoping I do him justice. His soaring ego requires it. XD

[theduckknight]

Absolutely! Impressions are everything! A hero like Darkwing Duck requires a good impression, and that's just what I'm going to give the good people of.... wherever I am.

Don't tell me you aren't familiar with the 'terror that flaps in the night'? [His words are accompanied by plenty of dramatic posing. You never know when and where someone could be capturing your image!]

[femmefatalefowl]

Mundanes can be so fickle about finding good photos. Instead of getting more for me, she instead gave me human ones instead.

Morgana! Darling! -cue dramatic reaching out-

[theduckknight]

[He looked indignant, as if this had been an injustice to himself as well as his fair love interest.]

What? That's just flat out misrepresentation!

The Morgana I know would never agree to create an image of herself that wasn't her, she was unafraid to be herself. If your mundane truly accepts you for who you are, you should demand she choose photos of you, as you are.

[As if to validate what he'd just said and display his honest opinion, Dark looked at her with genuine concern.]

Honey wumpus! *swoon*

[femmefatalefowl]

Oh Dark, darling... you're always so eloquent! If only mundanes could think the way you do... And if only I could zap them with a spell hard enough to turn them into a bloated weasel... But unfortunately, they're stronger than any magic or sweet talk.

[But you do get a nice kiss on the cheek for the effort. Flattery will get you everywhere, handsome.]

Well, here we are! Together again. Just in time for Dark to go to a game too. :D

[theduckknight]

[Dark flinched slightly, feeling sorry for the unfortunate who ended up on the tail end of a bloated weasel spell. The magic of Morgana's kisses however, was a much preferred surprise, as the flustered duck staggered back a bit.]

Speaking of zapping someone with spells, I know of a place where you can do just that. Would you join me and use your magic to fight crime? This Paradise place sounds like it has its share of problems, and with you by my side we could thwart evil where it stands.

[He took her hand in his, patting it reassuringly. You wouldn't have to see through his mask to see that he was looking at Morgana fondly.]

i may have to check it out ;)

[femmefatalefowl]

[Time for an overly dramatic sigh, because if their lives were that easy they wouldn't be toons. or at least funny toons.]

I'd love nothing more than to fight alongside you, but unfortunately my mundane problems are bigger than just the human makeover. She still thinks it would be 'interesting' if I showed up before I became good. The thought of going in there and being against you...

[She squeezes his hand sadly, damned if she goes with it and damned if she doesn't. boo hoo hoo.]

(3stepooc.dreamwidth.org/143735.html) may interest you? :o

[theduckknight]

[Oh dear, anything but Morgana shedding tears. His eyes soften.]

Oh Morg.... now don't cry. You know I bounce right back! Usually quite literally. [A weak laugh. He held her hands as he bowed his head in the seriousness of his next resolution.] I'll prove to you that we were together in a not-so-distant future if I have to be the thorn in your side to do it!

[Darkwing Duck flourished his cape dramatically.]
I say love will find a way and it should certainly make an encore performance for the two of us!

color me intrigued! always nice to have a test drive~

[femmefatalefowl]

[What a man, what a man, what a mighty mighty good man! She can't but smile at his confidence. It is his appeal, after all.]

I suppose if you could do it once, you could do it again... And I do rather like the idea of falling for you all over again. I never could resist you.

[She gives him a fond stroke under the chin. Um, who's the irresistible one again?]

Am I ever glad for test drives. I get all nervous even posting to DM.

[theduckknight]

[Morgana's smile was the wind beneath this mighty mallard's wings. He held himself all the more proudly in his cape.

All the more pleasantly surprised when she ventured affection to him. It was hard to tell who was more under whose spell, the spell that made them appear similarly captivated as that steady, fond gaze of his returned to her.]

Ahhh.. is it ever good to see you again. [Dark put a gentle hand to hers as he took his hat with the other and bowed it politely.] Falling for you again, I can't imagine anything nicer.

awwww, you'll get your confidence!

[femmefatalefowl]

[As much as she'd adore more of this sappy stuff, there are still some important matters to take care of. She taps her chin in thought.]

I suppose given what will happen... I should probably apologize to you now for what I'm going to do in the future. So... I'm sorry for - [she counts on her fingers ] - distracting you, tricking you, lying to you, trapping you... I'm not forgetting anything, am I?

[... it's worrying that she says it so casually, but, well, ex-villain and all.]

Yesh. :D Just gotta channel some awesome! Morg could probably give Dark pointers channeling awesome.

[theduckknight]

[Dark nods a steady, understanding nod. Hearing the advance apology as she went on was a bit hard to swallow but it only succeeded in putting some dejection on his face. Concern for her was expressed as well.]

It's fine, Morg! I wasn't keeping tally anyhow. [He shrugs.] I'm game for anything you can throw at me!

Actually, come to think of it... is there anything I could have done better next time to win you over? This could be my big chance to sweep you off your feet.

its not easy but you'll get the hang of it

[femmefatalefowl]

[Another pause of thought, but then she shakes her head, chuckling darkly.]

Just be your sweet, alluring self and I won't be able to resist you for long. I'll just be a stubborn fool, caught up in my own greed... But I'll need to remember absolutely nothing can buy what you give me. So! As long as you don't fall for my tricks - and I will be trying to trick you a lot, I do apologize - and I fall for you, we'll be all right.

[nuclear_raven]

A hero, huh?

[theduckknight]

Yes, a hero in the very feathers! You have before you the terror that flaps in the night!

The nails on the blackboard of every horrible scheme!

Darkwiiing Duck!

[He pulls out all the stops for his introductions. He sweeps his cape forward in a bow.]

How may I be of service?

[nuclear_raven]

You don't look like one.

[theduckknight]

[Dark looked rather deflated very suddenly.]

Don't look like one!?

[He tried to hide the disbelief in his voice as he evaluated himself with a cursory look for a moment.]

Which is it then? Is it the hat? The cape? The entrance? Where am I steering you wrong?

[nuclear_raven]

[Well, that's certainly not very heroic.]

You're not a shrine maiden. Or a god.

[No, Utsuho, those aren't the only kinds of heroes. :| ]

And my cape is far cooler.

Painfully late, I'm sorreh D:

[theduckknight]

[He stammers a bit at first, unsure of how to reply.]

A valid point maybe, but a copious costume does not a caped crusader make.

You have to have resolve, ambition, a strong sense of justice, and make a stand for your fair city! Darkwing Duck is a representative for the people of St. Canard, a figure people can look to and rely on.

...actually, can I see the cape?

[Curiosity got the best of him and he spoke to Utsuho as an aside, like someone about to convey a secret.]

[nuclear_raven]

[She holds out her cape to show it off. It's just white on the outside, but on the inside...it looks like a universe, with moving galaxies, starts and everything.]

What can all that do against unilimited power?
