Raindrops on Rosegardens To your complete surprise, you find yourself in a beautifully maintained Rose Garden. Roses of every color and type surround you-- long stemmed, miniature, red, yellow, white, hybrid... the world is a sea of colors. To your surprise, however, you find that despite the overwhelming scent of flowers, there are no bees in the area. Morgana must have cast a spell around the garden to keep out the bees, since her friend Piggy is so allergic to them. A flicker of movement catches your eye, and you are delighted to see several fairies carrying pollen from one flower to another. So *that's* how the garden stays in bloom without the bees. Players: Duck, Morgana, Fleebo, Roxanne, [Plushy], [Max], [Oliver], Pongo, [ShereKhan], [DisNut], [Nala] Objects: Magic Donut Box, P-Chan, Space Mountain Car, Blue Rose, Saturn, Flap, Oliver's Birthday Card, Stepping stones, Small Book, Kite, Silver Rose, Black Roses, Red Roses Exits: Spider [Web], [S]tone Archway, [D]oor Darkwing Duck steps out of a puff of purple smoke. Duck waves to Darkwing. :) Fleebo mews, "Download? Why download it if you don't want it? Oh... you're using something windows-ish. Unix mail is much better for that kind of thing. :)" Fleebo hugs Darkwing. Morgana says, "Julian Sands, Hugh Grant, Bernadette Peters, Mandy Patinkin, Emma Thompson... Great movie. :)" Duck ooooohs! That sounds great, Morg! Darkwing blinks at Morg. "That's the one about Chopin and Liszt, right?" Duck hmmmmms...seems the web link to the world is down as well. Morgana nodsnods at DW. :) Darkwing quacks, "What's the name?" Darkwing quacks, "Oh, and we hereby begin Get to Know; this week's guest is Duck." Duck bows. :) Darkwing quacks, "Who has been on the show before, but Eddie Valiant was hosting it at that time." Darkwing quacks, "Anyone not know the usual procedure?" Duck tests...Ah, good. Telnet is the only thing working with my ISP tonight, it seems. :) Roxanne says, "Darn..." Roxanne says, "Gotta go to bed." Belle has arrived. You look up, and suddenly, Belle floats into the room, smiling... TinkerBelle runs up to Darkwing, Duck, Morgana, Fleebo, Roxanne, and Pongo and squeezes Darkwing, Duck, Morgana, Fleebo, Roxanne, and Pongo in a big warm huggle! TinkerBelle spins around the room with Darkwing, Duck, Morgana, Fleebo, Roxanne, and Pongo, her skirts twirling. TinkerBelle smiles, and gives Darkwing, Duck, Morgana, Fleebo, Roxanne, and Pongo another huggle. Belle yays!!!!!!!!!!! Duck welcomes Belle of the Tim Tam Cheesecakes. :) Fleebo hugs Belle. :) Roxanne exclaims, "Hi!" Phillip has arrived. In the distance you hear a brass fanfare...A voice suddenly cries out, "His Royal Highness, Phillip, Prince of Einbildung!" Belle says, "I passed Phillip's inspection of the Castle." Duck welcomes Phillip. :) Phillip nodnods Phillip, Prince of Samhlaiocht gives Belle, Darkwing, Duck, Morgana, Fleebo, Roxanne, and Pongo a hug so big, that there is no air left in the room. Belle is COMPLETELY FINISHED with it, all 19 rooms. Duck congratulates Belle! Belle curtsies. Morgana hugs at all. Belle okays... what's next for me to build??? ;P Phillip asks, "so when do we start terrorizing, i mean interrogating, i mean questioning, i me oh heck, when do we start? :)" Roxanne exclaims, "Goodnight!" hugs AT all? Whatever, Morg. Duck grins. :) Fleebo hugs Roxanne. Goodnight! Roxanne hugs everyone. Belle hugs Roxy. Darkwing quacks, "Now. Duck is the guest. Ask questions." Fleebo will brb. Duck tiptoes around his ISP...I think telnet is freaking out now, too. As long as I keep quacking, I think I'm safe. :) Belle oohs at the Chocolate Macadamia Fudge Brownies... Duck says, "OK, since he's gone idling, ask away. :)" Phillip will wait for the relay of his questions Roxanne has disconnected. Belle asks, "What ever posessed you to think 'timtam and cheesecake' and create that fabulous timtam cheesecake that legends are made from?" Duck says, "Belle asked: Whatever possessed you to think 'tim tam and cheesecake' and create that fabulous timtam cheesecake...ok, you know the rest. :)" Belle grins. Is an impatient soul, so asked away. Duck says, "Well, Tim Tams being my favorite Aussie snack, I thought of ways to attempt to combine them with favorite American snacks. :)" Darkwing quacks, "Phillip: Why do you need to be *all* the ducks? Is it an ego thing? :)" Belle ROTFL!!! Fleebo grins. Belle grins. Uhoh, Phillip is going to get bapped again. Duck says, "I first thought of Tim Tam ice cream, and when I figured out how to make cheesecake from scratch, I decided I MUST invent TT cheesecake. :)" Darkwing notes that Duck's old transcript is available - you should e-mail or mufmail me or Sassy if you want a copy. Belle woohoos! And a star is born! Fleebo wonders how many opposite answers we could get out of him today... Duck says, "So one night I experimented, and the world has a new dessert with warm melting Tim Tams on top. :)" Phillip has an uncanny nak for getting @bapped Duck says, "OK, why I need to be all the ducks...." Duck says, "Because I was the first duck in the FDC, and seeing the potential of this great organization, claimed all the ducks as mine. :)" Duck says, "Actually, I couldn't decide which duck I wanted to be. :)" Duck says, "As time progressed I've taken more of the character of Donald, though..." Darkwing quacks, "Phillip again: When did you officially become an Aussie wannabee?" Duck says, "Which is good, 'cause it's allowed other ducks to join the FDC." Duck grins. When officially? Duck thinks.... Duck has always wanted to go to Australia, and when I was planning my trip, I didn't know what to expect of it. It surprised me. It has a very interesting culture. It's a mix of many things...often contradicting...but very relaxed and welcoming. Fleebo is the contradiction, probably. ;) Duck thinks also that spending time with real live Aussies there made a lot of difference. I haven't been able to spend time with natives in any other country I've visited. Duck says, "Well, except New Zealand." Belle grins. "Why Australia? I mean, isn't being an American good enough for ya? ;P Pepper has arrived. Pepper the Jedi runs into the room waving her lightsaber madly. Phillip asks, "Duck, why did you infiltrate and bring to shambles the MerTable as a BGC spy?" Duck says, "The contradiction shows itself in things like this, Fleebo: you make movies about flamboyant drag queens, yet you cut out the slightly risque parts of Hunchback. :)" Morgana grrs. "Sorry, but I've got to disconnect for a few minutes. I'll be back..." Duck grins at Belle. I'm a multinational duck corporation. :) Belle loved Priscilla. Morgana has disconnected. Duck is not a BGC spy. I'm only an honorary member of the BGC. :) Belle grins. Its the TimTams, right? Duck says, "And I was one of the first two knights on the MerTable. Heck, I was a knight BEFORE there was a MerTable. :)" Phillip asks, "well, still, why did you join the BGC as an honourary even?" Duck must admit, though, that it's fun supplying BOTH the BGC and the MerTable with weapons. I make a pretty penny. :) Belle ROTFL.... Belle grins. Yup, you are mainly Donald. Darkwing quacks, "Is that why you're head of the MWA?" Duck didn't officially join as an honorary. I was named as an honorary member. Phillip chuckles...arms dealers Duck thinks so, Darkwing. That and my ability to carry 20 million concealed weapons about my person. :) Pepper the Jedi barks, "BRB." Max has connected. Pepper has disconnected. Duck gets an idea for a trivia question. :) Belle asks, "Duck, do you ever have nightmares about being turned into a pillow?" Pepper has connected. Max wards off the evil alien eye. Duck says, "Nope, 'cause in my nightmares I borrow Morgana's powers and turn everyone else into different flavors of jello. Then I get hungry. :)" Belle thought it was pudding.... Duck says, "Then I realize they aren't nightmares. :)" Pepper looks at Max funny. Belle giggles. Darkwing quacks, "Phillip: As the Mad Percussionist, will you perform a drum solo at Belle's ball next week?" Duck grins at Belle. The Jello is actually an old FDC reference. :) Duck might, Phillip. How much extra will I get paid? :) Belle oohs... Will ya, Ducky dear? Pepper grr grrr grrrrrrrr Pep hears a whisper on the breeze that is calling her home... Pepper has left. Duck may do it because the beauteous Belle asked. Phillip says, "ask Belle, she's our benafactor on monday" Pepper has arrived. Pepper the Jedi runs into the room waving her lightsaber madly. Belle curtsies to Duck. Phillip says, "all monitary compinsation will come from the host...it's in the cantract somewhere... :)" Duck grins. :) Belle grins. RobinHood has arrived. Duck welcomes Robin. :) Belle waves to Rob. Fleebo caterwauls, "Hi Rob! :)" RobinHood smiles and tailwaves. Flubbercat turns the magic donut box around three times and says, "Lamingtons." she opens the box to find, sure enough, it is full of Lamingtons! Phillip tries to come up with more questions... Max asks, "What, pray tell, is a lamington?" Pepper grrrs Duck grins at Phillip. Think of it as a creative exercise. :) Max says, "Now what..." Phillip has got one... and a good one at that hehehehe Fleebo purrs, "It's a largeish cube of sponge cake, dipped in a chocolate sauce and then rolled in coconut. :)" Belle oohs. Now she is hungry... TinkerBelle turns the magic donut box around three times and says, "Hazelnut TimTam Cheesecake." she opens the box to find, sure enough, it is full of Hazelnut TimTam Cheesecake! Duck droooooools! Belle yays. Needs a box like this. Duck waits for Phil's question. :) Phillip thought of a good question, and waits for the realy Darkwing quacks, "Phillip: What's the most embarassing thing that's happened to you while you were affiliated with FDCMuck?" Phillip grins evilly Duck hmmmmmmmmms.... Pepper has disconnected. Duck says, "Possibly being splooshed in the MIDDLE of the New Orleans airport by two people wearing Mickey gloves, ears, and carrying huge open Mickey umbrellas." Phillip says, "memo to me: Never become a guest here. you will be asked revenge questions by all" Fleebo hee hees! Belle ROTFL! Who did that to you?> Pepper has connected. Duck says, "Imagine the worst possible case of that. It happened. :)" Phillip asks, "the meeces?" Duck nodsnods. :) Darkwing quacks, "Fleebo: Who started the water fight at Tink and MC's wedding reception?" Duck says, "Morgana. She said it was an accident. :)" Duck says, "There was also a water fight afterwards, and one back at the hotel. :)" Fleebo laughs at that... sure, sure. Belle grins. Note to self: Bring supersoaker to LAX in October, unless Duck is said to be carrying cheesecake. Duck says, "We didn't sploosh in the church, though. We were good. :)" Phillip says, "ummm Belle, they won't let you past the check point with supersoakers any more :(" Belle eeps! What kind of messed up country is this, that they won't allow supersoakers in the airport? Phillip says, "they are a gun...Abismal had to have his specially stowed when he cam to the Ohio meet" Phillip says, "back me up, maxie" Fleebo hmms. Well, I know of no such prohibition at Melbourne Int'l Airport... :) >:) Max asks, "Huh??? Oh...yeah...." Duck grins. Wait till I give 'em a call, Fleebo. Darkwing quacks, "Belle: Exactly how many weapons do you have?" Max says, "You *cannot* take anything that even *looks* like a gun in carryon." Duck ummmmmmmms....I've lost count...Probably around 20. Pepper the Jedi barks, "We took potato peelers" Duck says, "That doesn't count the various weapons in rooms that I own." Belle uh-ohs.... was not volunteering for you to count them on, btw... Phillip grrrs "Belle, you seem to have a habit of counting yours on me :P :) Duck hee hees! Pepper grr Pepper has disconnected. Belle blinks innocently... "Who me, Phillip?" Phillip says, "granted, i derserve it some times " Duck especially likes making weapons based on things that happen on the muck. :) Belle has no idea what you could be talking about... Belle eeps. The DebbieWock. Pepper has connected. Phillip phbllllllttts in Belle's direction Fleebo was thinking the customs officer one. Duck grins. Yes, it was born in a conversation one night. Belle remembers that one. Pongo bounces I was there i was there :) FDC Official Duck (All of Them) brings out the Ultimate Spam Defense Weapon--An Australian customs officer! Suddenly TinkerBelle is stamped on the forehead, thrown into a rubbish bin and deported from this hemisphere! Pongo remebers the debbiewock Belle laughs! Duck drops Debbiewock. Fleebo caterwauls, "Auugh!" The Debbiewock bops over to everyone and sings "Electric Youth"! Pepper closes her eyes and covers her ears. Duck hushes the Debbiewock. You'll be the subject of a "Get To Know" sometime in the future. Phillip exclaims, "do NOT show that thing to Webbie...she will go into cardiac arrest!" Fleebo grins... that's why Duck made it in the first place. Belle closes her eyes, and thinks happy thoughts... "Rainbows, butterflies... Unicorns..." The Debbiewock sings, "But Webbie is my best friend! I tried out for the role of Belle because of her!" Phillip says, "hey, be nice to webbie, she had to start school on her b-day" Max still likes the ABBAwock and starts singing Waterloo in tribute. Belle eeps. Didn't work... DebbieWock is still here... Pepper growls. The Abbawock sings, "Who invoked my name?" Pepper has disconnected. The Abbawock sings along with Max. Duck hushes the Abbawock too. :) Belle reminds that there is a GTK going on! Duck waits for the next question. :) Phillip says, "duck has a habit of diverting attentiona away from the event :)" Darkwing quacks, "Have I missed any questions?" Duck says, "Me? Blame the two singing lizards!" Pepper has connected. Phillip says, "not any of mine...i asked four, you relayed four, duck answered 3 1/2" Belle laughs. Suuuuurrre, Duck. RobinHood eeps he has to go.. Forgot to shop! RobinHood hears a whisper on the breeze that is calling him home... RobinHood has left. Darkwing quacks, "Why a duck? Why not a dog? Or a cat? Or a princess with a blue dress on?" Fleebo giggles at that last one! Duck says, "Because there were no ducks in the FDC in that ancient time of December 1993. :)" Belle grins. Thank you. Darkwing quacks, "Fleebo asks why you are so determined to drag her to the world of Coca-Cola." Duck hee hees. Because she needs an education. :) Pepper has disconnected. Fleebo mews, "Sheesh. That's supposed to be an answer? :)" Duck says, "After all, Southerners have no blood. It's Coke." Max has disconnected. Duck says, "Besides, it's rather interesting and fun and it's right next to Underground Atlanta and there's a neat Coke store inside. :)" Phillip says, "memo to me part 2: have a pepsi in had at o'hare on oct 18" Pepper has connected. Duck snorts at Phillip. Yankee. :) Darkwing quacks, "Pepper: How many teeth do you have?" Phillip says, "and proud of it too :)" Fleebo fully expects to be weirded out by your entire country, peoples. No offence. :) Duck says, "The usual number...well, minus four permanent teeth that were pulled before I got braces." Belle oohs. Just got a good question. Pepper the Jedi yelps, "HA! HA! Fake! Imposter~" Darkwing quacks, "An anonymous informant asks this question:" Pepper the Jedi yelps, "Duck's don't have teeth!" Duck grins at Fleebo. Oh, the World of Coke is just the tip of the iceberg. :) Pepper the Jedi yelps, "It's a conspiracy! They're out to get me!" Darkwing quacks, "How do you respond to rumors that your trip to Australia, supposedly to visit friends, is actually a cover story for setting up an international Tim Tam smuggling ring?" Phillip LOL Duck asks, "Oh yeah, Pepper? And WHO is the alien Spice Girl here? :)" Pepper the Jedi barks, "Not me, that's for sure." Duck says, "Tim Tam smuggling ring? Ooooh, I wanna JOIN!" Fleebo laughs. :) Belle ROTFL! Phillip says, "duck you are suppose to ANSWER questions, and ASK them :)" Phillip says, "excuse me, and NOT ask them :)" Pepper brushes herself off and looks dignified. Duck goes to the smuggling ring and orders: "Plenty of hazelnut Tim Tams, please!" Fleebo gets ready to Vegemite-and-feather (as opposed to tar-and-feather) Duck if he answers incorrectly. :) Duck notes that there are no smuggling ring connections to his three cubic acres of Tim Tams in the Tim Tam Bin across the muck. Nope. Definitely not. Phillip wonders if he should give Duck a cheesecake at o'hare so that he is not splooshed in la Belle grins. Duck is already furthered. Belle grins. Feathered, rather. Copper has arrived. Here she comes! The newest Disney SPIRIT AWARD winner... Cop Copper waves/.... Duck welcomes Copper. :) Darkwing quacks, "Deep Throat also has this to ask:" Pongo huggles cop Fleebo hugs Copper! Coppercules LOVES to show you how glad she is to see you, so she runs over to TinkerBelle and drools all over her. Don'tcha just LOVE puppy spit? Coppercules LOVES to show you how glad she is to see you, so she runs over to Phillip, Prince of Samhlaiocht and drools all over him. Don'tcha just LOVE puppy spit? Belle grins at Copper. Copper sorries for interrupting and sits quietly Darkwing quacks, "How do you respond to further allegations that you've had so many feathers plucked from your behind that you now sport feather plugs?" Duck says, "They're not plugs...It's a feather weave." Pepper hawhaws Fleebo laughs! Phillip says, "that reminds me, you promised me a tail feather and i never got it :(" Belle grins. Fleebo purrs, "Tink probably got it instead, Phillip..." Duck says, "Yeah, go ask her, Phillip. She has plenty." Belle giggles. Phillip sighs Pepper has disconnected. Pepper has connected. Darkwing quacks, "Anyone else?" Quiverwing has arrived. Gosalyn Mallard arrives, riding her skateboard. She turns sideways and screeches to a halt, steping on the end of the board as it stops, flipping it up in the air and catching it. Fleebo has disconnected. Gosalyn says, "Greetings!" Duck welcomes Quiv/Gos. :) Copper says, "Hi QW" Fleebo has connected. The Abbawock and the Debbiewock munch on the lamingtons. Phillip asks, "Got Milk?" Belle notes there aren't lamingtons in there. Duck says, "Yes, Phillip. In my fridge. :)" Fleebo sighs... I am the Flubbercat, also known as the Bungee Jumping Fleebo of Doom. Duck says, "Of coures not, Belle. They ate them." Belle notes it is HazelNut cheesecake, remember? Belle laughs. Pep @baps Gosalyn on the head. Gosalyn puts her hands over her head and cries, "Owwww!" *pout* Gosalyn says, "What'd I do?" Phillip asks, "well, when was the last TT slam you had?" Pepper the Jedi yelps, "MARA?!!" Duck uses Fleebo as a yo yo. Gosalyn says, "OF COURSE MARA!" Pepper throws up her arms and glares at Gos. Fleebo releases the brightly colored yo-yo, and watches go straight down... and ....... stay there. Gosalyn says, "Mara Jade is Super-de-dooper Cool. Keep in mind, however..." Darkwing quacks, "Deep Throat's question #3: How do you respond to rumors that, not are you only pro-90s (as opposed to pro-80s), but you even hang out with a known alien Spice Girl pup?" Duck says, "Last TT slam....Hmmmmm....Probably when I was at work, teaching the fine art of the Tim Tam slam." Pepper yells Gosalyn says, "I'm talking Mara Jade, written by Timothy Zahn.. not the God-awful cheap copy that the other authors did horrible stuff to." Pepper knows that! Fleebo grins... an officeful of Slams.. that would be something to see. :) From a distance, of course. :) Phillip needs to go...might BBL or esle will be here tomarrow... Duck says, "Well, Darkwing, the alien Spice Girl steak puppy thing is actually nice when she'sin puppy-humanoid form." Phillip, Prince of Samhlaiocht gives Quiverwing, Copper, Pepper, Belle, Darkwing, Duck, Fleebo, and Pongo a hug so big, that there is no air left in the room. Phillip, Prince of Samhlaiocht hears a whisper on the breeze that is calling him home... Phillip has left. Fleebo p phillip=:hugs! Fleebo dangs. Gosalyn says, "What's GtK?" Pepper the Jedi barks, "Get to Know" Darkwing hmms. Does that count as maving? Copper says, "Get to Know" Pepper the Jedi barks, "Duck, who's bashing me" Gosalyn ahs. Fleebo purrs, "Whatever." Gosalyn says, "Of course." Copper hi paws Pepper Pepper glares at Duck. Duck is not bashing you. Pepper grins Duck says, "We don't bash on this planet." Pepper the Jedi barks, "Duck, who is out to get me" Belle giggles. Pep, are you paranoid? Copper is gonna go write some mufmails..see ya later all But we're not *on* my planet, *are* we? Copper waves Belle waves. Fleebo laughs at spoofer. Coppercules hears a whisper on the breeze that is calling him home... Copper has left. Pepper sits down and cries. Gosalyn comforts Pepper. Darkwing quacks, "This is from me: Who's your second-favorite duck to be? (I'm assuming Donald is #1)" Belle grins. Fleebo wonders why Pepper is always the one in the scandals? :) Duck hmmmmms....I love Scrooge in the comics, so probably him. :) Duck says, "He gets all the cool adventures and the even cooler Money Bin with three cubic acres of cash. :)" Pepper the Jedi barks, "Because I'm out to win the new Arnold Award for Most-Involved-In-Scandals :D" Belle wonders if you have a #1 Dime lying around the muck somewhere? Duck grins. Not last time I checked. I do have my #1 Duck Post somewhere. :) Darkwing quacks, "Until you spent all the money, and it became the Tim Tam Bin instead." Duck says, "Ah, here it is..." Duck drops Post from the Past. > look Post from the Past From: CBUCHAN1@ua1vm.ua.edu (charles buchanan) Date: Sun, 12 Dec 1993 03:34:02 GMT Newsgroups: rec.arts.disney Subject: Is this FDC seat taken? Okay, a while back I listed an FDC position under my name...then I discovered it belonged to someone. Oops! I guess I'll have to print out that official FDC list.... So now I want to apply for a hopefully unoccupied seat on the FDC: Official Disney Duck. We all know how many ducks there are in the Disney pantheon, and I like all of 'em and can't choose among 'em, sooo I want to be all of them! Being FDC Official Disney Duck means that I could adventure around the world as Scrooge, get into mischief like the nephews, become a super hero as Darkwing or Gizmoduck, and...and...oh, yeah! Play ice hockey in Anaheim while appearing on millions of caps and jerseys! P.S. Taunt! Taunt! As FDC Official Disney Duck, I'll be immune to all those supersoaker wars (you've heard the expression "rolls like water off a duck's back"?). Wait! It's a time-honored expression! You don't <> have to test it!!! --Charles Buchanan Official Disney Duck and (not) mad as a wet hen-er-duck Belle giggles. Fleebo grins at that... Don't think I've seen that before, Ducky. Fleebo mews, "What position did you claim before that?" Duck has it in his home room, the Houseboat of ever-changing name. :) Duck tried to be U.S. Ambassador to WDW or something like that. :) She Kenna take much more Spam, Keptin! Duck says, "But someone already had it!" Belle awwhs. Gosalyn says, "Toodles!" Gosalyn Mallard hops on her skateboard and pushes off, picking up speed as she dissapears. Quiverwing has left. Darkwing quacks, "Do you remember who?" Duck prefers the spot he got, though. :) Fleebo purrs, "Walkarounds is more fun. :)" Belle giggles. Yup, sure is. Duck says, "Nope...He faded into FDC history early, I think." Darkwing wonders whatever happened to FDC Darkwing [who isn't me]. Duck doesn't know. He was here for the muck's opening night and didn't come back, I don't think. :) Pepper has disconnected. Darkwing grumbles. "I'd like that title, if only for completeness." Darkwing quacks, "Anyone else with questions for Duck?" Pepper has connected. Pepper has disconnected. Fleebo hmms at the fbc's flying back and forth. Duck grins. Much like a tennis match, no? :) Duck likes how the muck encourages people to think on their feet and think fast. :) Pepper has connected. Pepper has disconnected. Darkwing quacks, "All right, I hereby declare the show closed. Feel free to hang out, though. Hopefully I'll be back later." Darkwing waves.
