“That would have been quite the sight,” she said with a wistful little chuckle.

“It’s a pity that we lose so many things to the ravages of time, or to greed. We try to hold tightly to what knowledge we can to carry into the future, but… there will always be things that slip from our paws, and a day will come when we ourselves are forgotten. It’s a historian’s irony.”

“It truly would have.”

More than she knew, honestly. Aurora had seen a lot of things, especially in regards to supposedly lost gummi magic. She had the talisman right there, and a book on the table she was still struggling to decipher. The gelitan language was deceptively hard to read.

Folding her hands in front of her, she considers for a moment. That her soft blue fur and bright pink eyes hadn’t stood out to the stranger was a asmall blessing... but she did feel bad about shutting down the investigation.

Maybe she could offer something up.

“Is there anything in particular you’d like to know? I’ve been studying the gummi language for a long time.”

[calisotaocs]

“I always enjoy this time of year. According to the Great Book, the gummis of old would have great feasts on the solstice!” Aurora stretches, lifting her shoulders with a pleased little sigh. “It’s a pity the recipes were lost...”

@officiallytox​ said: What's your favorite color? Provide a picture of something in that color!

Here we go-

Aurora: “Pink, like candy floss!”

Clove: “That really cool teal sea glass can be.”

Hera: “Royal blue, of course.”

Hermes: “Ever seen a black like a perfect night sky?”

Leslie: “A nice bright yellow, I think.”

Odette: “Ooooh, blue! But light blue- like the sky!”

askrossiel​:

She made a soft noise at that, something thoughtful and distant in the green of her eyes.

“Not gods, then,” she mused. “A bit more like Elves, I suppose. Some capable of great feats in weaving their wills into the Song of the World; others only able to do a little, and less in their dwindling. Fated to become naught but stories in the end. Still, it’s nice to think there was magic in the world once, and that perhaps there is a spark of truth to every story.”

“I’ve heard the comparison to the fair folk here and there. I grew up in England myself- near Birdingham. Some of the old tales indicate that they could even make a magic potion that increased their strength and speed tenfold. Remarkable stories, really.”

There was a certain fondness in how she said that, perhaps unintentional- her excursions with her mother, her meeting Kit and Molly, her accepting her own unusual heritage... she may have only been part gummi bear herself, and she knew how important it was to keep certain things as secret as she could, but she couldn’t help but think fondly on having finally accepted that odd, strange part of herself.

“Not many artifacts remain, unfortunately. The areas that were said to have been brimming with Great Ones once upon a time were fairly well sacked centuries ago.”

[calisotaocs]

askrossiel​:

Rossiel brightened even further once Aurora looked more comfortable, allowing her tail a slight – albeit carefully controlled given their current surroundings – wag.

“An honor to make your acquaintance. I thought perhaps I would begin with theology,” she ventured. “I’ve noticed the deities I keep are not shared by the citizens of Duckburg, and I thought perhaps learning which ones they’ve kept in the past may offer me some insight into the present. I did come across a… a vague reference or two to some ‘Great Ones’– were they gods that were known here once?”

That inquiry actually caught Aurora off-guard, and she blinked a little, briefly glancing at the book she’d just closed before back up at the young woman who’d wandered into the library. Talk about coincidences- of course, the Great Book was mostly illegible, and it wasn’t a library book anyway. So for now she simply gazed up towards an old crest hanging above a bookshelf.

“Ah, the Great Ones are mostly European in origin- specifically near Castle Dunwyn in modern day Wales. They were a race of ancient, ursine-like magical creatures with innate magical ability only a few of their kind could truly master. Of course, no one has seen one of them in generations. Some people say they were simply a faerie tale- something told to children, that they might see a “gummi bear” if they behaved.”

[calisotaocs]

askrossiel​:

The wolfdog offered a warm smile in return. “As a Story– I mean– as someone who trades in stories myself, I find it’s important to learn whatever we can, even the things we don’t understand. It’s not that the endless feuds of the Ducks and Beagles aren’t interesting, but they’re only a small piece of a larger story I know nothing about.”

If there was magic – real magic! – in the world once, and perhaps there was magic still, it would give her another thread to follow when she’d run into a wall with her research on the man who’d believed stories were glimpses into other worlds.

“My name is Rossiel, by the way,” she added hastily, with a slight curtsey. “I do hope you’ll forgive me for interrupting your reading, and I’ll try to make as little of a bother of myself as any library-guest can.”

Aurora was quiet for a moment as she listened, slowly bobbing her head along with the statements, until she let a bright smile blossom across her face. People being interested in history was always a delight- it was exactly what she’d gone to college for, after all. Resting her hands briefly on the pages of the ancient tome, she stood and heaved it shut, picking up the talisman to click it locked before looping the amulet’s ribbon back around her neck.

History she could do. The magic she was trying to desperately to rediscover could wait for a while longer- she wasn’t working here as an intern just to hold down a chair, after all.

“Well, you’ve certainly come to the right place. No need for apologies- my name is Aurora Aeron; I’m an intern working here in the library. Was there anything in particular you were interested in looking into? We’ve loads of books about all manner of odd and fascinating things in world history. Perhaps I can point you in a direction that might interest you.”

@askrossiel​ said: "We live and breathe words."

“If only the words weren’t nonsense.”

The cobalt colored ursine sighed after she spoke, closing her eyes for a moment before glancing at the canine, offering the faintest of smiles. She hadn’t meant to snap, but she had been so overwrought lately, pouring over the words in the ancient Great Book of Gummi. Open though it may be, she had yet to actually understand... any of it.

Gummis certainly had their own language, once upon a time. She really should have paid better attention to her mother when she was growing up.

“I’m sorry; I hadn’t even really- let me start again. Welcome to the Duckburg Historical Library. It’s not very often we get visitors in this part of the museum- sorry, I was just... doing a bit of light reading.”

@lucy-buzzard​ said:  Match Maker with Lavinia and Lucy (you can choose which one)

I think because they’re at least somewhat close in age, Odette and Lucy meeting could be really interesting, especially with the differences their paths seem to end up taking and little similarities here and there. Also Odette is an absolute creampuff of a kid who loves to make friends. Never met a stranger!

THE SINNER ( SEASON 3 ) SENTENCE STARTERS

”Let’s be honest, everyone’s dangerous, aren’t they?” ”Civility makes us resentful. The animal inside is caged up and just gets angrier and angrier.” “Have you ever seen someone die in front of you?” “You know, I came here to kill you.” “Move on? Why does everybody say that? It’s like the only thing that matters is getting over things as fast as you can.” “Death isn’t going away. If anything, it’s getting closer.” “Why do you hate me? You always hated me.” “There’s your cruel streak. I knew it was in there somewhere.” ”When people get hurt, they get angry.” ”Everyone’s trying so hard. I mean, there’s this effort, isn’t there? Underneath it all. It’s a bit desperate.” ”There’s this big yawning void we’re stuck in the middle of and we’re all just grabbing onto anything we can.” “You want everyone to tell you everything while you say nothing.” “Like my house, I know it’s my house, but it’s not … quite. My hands. They don’t seem like my hands.” “I want to play a game with you first.” “I’m stronger than you.” “I can take you down anytime I want.” “Tell me I’m not crazy.” ”Talk me down off the ledge, man. C’mon, help me out. I’m scared.” “You think you’re the only person who’s angry at the world?” “We all have dark thoughts, we learn how to live with them.” “You’re gonna act out, you’re not gonna act out… Quit talking. Do it.” “There’s no way out of this that’s ever going to satisfy you.” ”You wanna do well, you wanna make money, you wanna screw somebody, buy stuff, be someone, for what? Because it makes you feel safe?” ”Deep down, you’re in free fall. We all are.” “You’re no different than I am, you know. Don’t start thinking you are.” “Failure to save somebody’s life. That’s not a crime. But impeding a rescue? That’s second-degree murder.” “You get away with everything you want, don’t you?”   “Do you think maybe ____ was in love with you?” “I have this feeling all the time that I’m trapped.” “We are living on a giant rock. We are flying through space, and no one knows anything.” “Oh, you’ve been researching me.” “Look around. It’s a world full of sociopaths.” “Man is so infinitely different from God he can only communicate with God indirectly.” ”If you don’t hear from me by the time you wake up, come find me.” “There’s a more honest life than the one we’ve been living.” “I want you to play the game, to look death right in the face, right where I am. No escape route.” “You need to swing your dick around, pretend you’re not about to die?” “People always stop themselves right when they’re at the precipice.”

Match Maker!

@running2re-duck-tion​ said:  Match Maker for uh... Brycen or Poe since those are my most active rn?

I’ll go with one or two for each one!

For Brycen, I feel like him meeting Leslie could be super interesting, since Leslie is a former SHUSH agent, prior to departing the agency because she just didn’t have the stomach for the work. She’s a very kind woman, though- I think getting to meet the woman who treated the injured of SHUSH for a long time would make for a pretty neat interaction.

A couple for Poe, and that’s definitely Aurora or Odette. I’ve wondered a lot what someone like Poe would think of a more whimsical but still powerful ancient magic like Gummi Magic, and Odette could be a curiosity to him. A girl who developed magic with NO obvious source, no lineage or magic items, and gained the ability to mend and heal.

Match Maker!

@askrossiel​ said: (Match Maker?)

It’s hard to pick just one! So I’m going to go with all three that jump out to me, honestly lmao.

I’d have to say probably Hera, Aurora, or Odette. Hera because... well, queen of the gods, and whatnot, I think she’d find Rossiel pretty interesting. Aurora and Odette are both magic users, though neither of them are very skilled, with Aurora being a gummi bear, descended from the great Gummi Wizard Zummi Gummi himself. Odette’s... a little trickier. Her magic has no currently known source, she simply developed it over time. She has the power to heal, though it takes a lot out of her the worse the injury.

I feel like there could definitely be some interesting interactions to be had with any of those!
