"Usually I'd have no issue with it, but yeah they do have that creepy factor and he's only fueling it worse." Ducky sighed before glancing over at his savior. "Would you be surprised if I told you this isn't the first time he's tried that with me? This would be maybe number 7, his name is Harold and I think he's a fan of mine and has tried to talk to me through various apps."

"i'll do it for free." kez replied instantly, surpressing a shudder. "puppets weird me out, i can't stand them." he motioned for the younger man to join him, clearing a spot at his table. he glanced in the direction ducky had come from, looking for said man with puppets, and visibly cringed when he accidentally made eye contact with the guy. "i can't believe he thought it was a good idea to bring those things out in public."

"It depends on the rest of the outfit because if you don't go for the right vibe you might end up doing the worst fashion faux pas of this century." Ducky commented as he eyed the vest. "I don't see anything particularly wrong with it, but it's definitely not a statement piece. I'm working on an Alexander McQueen look to go with my Mugler that I bought earlier in the week."

"Question? Would you accept a free meal to act like we were just having the most riveting conversation just so I don't have to keep talking to the guy who keeps trying to talk to me through his puppet? I'll even sweeten the deal and add that you don't ever have to speak to me ever again." @sunpaintedsea

˙ ˖ ✶ Ducky & Bean

"What else would you do really? Because from where I'm standing I'm immune to whatever it is women see in you besides the obvious outright things I will not share out loud." Ducky said as he feigned disgust which only lasted for a few seconds as laughter soon bubbled up from him. His friend definitely attracted attention whether it be wanted or not, and he had a light about him that pretty much shun entirely too bright for people not to notice. It could be his smile, his antics, or just the sweet honey like essence that there was to Bean. "Are you sure? Cause right now I won't be too mad if I do." he sighed. "Oh so you hate me is that what you're trying to say? No Ducky I won't name a drink after you cause no one wants you? Damn Bean, pretty cruel today huh? It's okay, I know I'm still pretty, and if you say one more rude thing, you'll be hopping your way back home."

bean feigned offence when ducky accused him of tampering with the drink. "a love potion? do you really think that i'd need a love potion to seduce you if i were into men?" bean still wasn't sure how he'd had as much luck with the ladies as he did. they seemed to take pity on him, at first, as if he were a lost child or injured animal, especially when he spoke. he knew he wasn't the brightest, but somehow he'd made it this far without failing miserably, and only lost one limb in the process. "you won't die, drama queen." while the drink was foreign to him, the ingredients were not, and bean knew that ducky would survive just fine, if not a little hung over in the morning. "i'm not naming a drink after you ducky."

˙ ˖ ✶ Ducky & Femi

"Do you think it's weird that I'm already dreading whatever comes after Christmas? Like can we skip the month of February entirely or is that too much to ask? Especially since I have so many deadlines regarding my books, but my mind has been a total toxic wasteland?" he sighed. "Any ideas on how I can change my identity and move to a foreign country?" @astralfms

[duckygoncalves]

˙ ˖ ✶ Ducky & Lana

"So what was the dire news you had to tell me and you couldn't wait whatsoever for me to even get breakfast for this mall trek?" Ducky asked as he curiously eyed his friend, who for once seemed to be quite giddy. At least in much higher spirits since the last time they spoke. "Boy talk I'm assuming, so who is this mysterious heartthrob." @strlightsfm

[duckygoncalves]

˙ ˖ ✶ Ducky & Theo

"Look, at the end of the day who cares what others think. If you like it, then who can say otherwise? Fashion is subjective, I mean have you seen some of the runways? Clearly the notion of fashion is about money nowadays instead of self expression. So if you like it, get it."

"oh,"  she  says  with  a  sigh,  eyeing  the  vest  herself.  she'd  hate  to  be  the  one  to  commit  the  WORST  fashion  faux  pas  of  this  century.  wouldn't  call  herself  the  most  stylish,  but  she  definitely  knew  how  to  dress  herself.  "sounds  like  quite  the  pairing...  think  you  can  pull  it  off  ?"

˙ ˖ ✶ Ducky & Caleb

"Sounds...riveting," Ducky said in jest as he whistled at his words. "Absolutely not, you can't come with me. The second we step foot in any of the parks, we'll get hounded by both Cast members and disney adults thinking you're one of the character performers, and asking for pictures, and I for one will not be reduced to lackey." he huffed. "Blame yourself for being so...pretty or whatever. Custody trades with Clem? So a doggy day care?"

"Oh you know. The usual," he rested his head on his hand and leaned on a nearby surface, a small smile dancing across his lips at the nickname. "Work, custody trades of my fluffy daughter with Clem, wondering what to do nest in life, and consuming entirely too much caffeine. Maybe next time I'll tag along to the most magical place on earth instead of hanging out here."

˙ ˖ ✶ Ducky & Val

"You know that feeling when you get someone a really cool gift but it's a Christmas present so you shouldn't tell them and spoil the surprise, but it's killing you inside not being able to just spill the beans?" Ducky mused as he teased how he'd pretty much thought up the perfect gift for one of his best friends. "What would you recommend, to wait it out, or just tell them and give it to them cause you have it ready?" @sunshinesfm

[duckygoncalves]

˙ ˖ ✶ Ducky & Caleb

"Well, I'm finally back from my Disney trip, and let me tell you. The prices are a bit insane, and I think they're going a bit insane now that Universal is building a fourth park and it's gotten the whole of Florida foaming at the mouth." Ducky sighed. "So my blue eyed water prince, what have you been up to, seeing as I've been ignoring all my friends because I've got a bad case of the holiday blues. @cfrevelries

"OKAY,  i  need  your  honest  opinion,"  she  says,  leaning  over  towards  the  stranger  beside  her.  "is  this,  like,  a  cute  vintage  ?  or,  like,  a  that's  something  only  my  grandmother  would  wear  vintage  ?  are  vests  considered  ugly  or  are  they  in  style  ?"

˙ ˖ ✶ Maeve

"Sorta kinda, I used to spend a lot of time here." Ducky mused as his eyes scanned a few books. "Honestly, if you leave me here with a blanket and a pillow, I'll never leave. Plus some good food," he added with a laugh. "And some good snacks and I could make a giant book fort, and probably stop people from buying those bad fairy books."

LOCATION:  the  book  nook STATUS:  closed  /  ducky  goncalves @duckygoncalves

maeve  was  most  definitely  not  a  reader--  she's  not  entirely  sure  why  she'd  come  into  the  book  nook.  was  hoping  to  look  at  the  LIFE  SKILLS  books,  to  see  if  there  was  anything  she  could  add  to  her  repertoire.  however,  she  felt  like  she  was  stepping  into  a  maze.  there  was  a  man  in  a  nearby  chair,  and  she  turns  to  him,  asking  "you  know  your  way  'round  this  place  ?"

˙ ˖ ✶ Monty

As did most of the memories Monty filled, there was laughter. Ducky couldn't help but be absolutely giddy at the way his lifelong friend gushed about seeing the movie of the year. "You literally knew every word to every song, and I did expect that from you," he added, smiling over at Monty. Elphaba really spoke to him, someone that couldn't help something that they were born with, finding strength in herself, her voice, and a friendship as pure as the one she shared with Galinda. It was almost as if they mirrored each other, the way Ducky and Monty did. "I'm still crying too, I can't wait for part 2. A year is too fucking long. Also we might still die, I'm gay who said I could drive?" There were tear stains running down his cheek, and the aftermath of the movie was visible in palmview. Pink and green as far as the eye could see, so many groups of friends went all out for the premiere, and it did not disappoint. "There's three, the ozball, when she sang I'm not that girl...that song has always had a special meaning for me, and of course defying gravity was just the icing on top. Also you're choosing mine, I don't think I have the energy in me to decide. Besides you know what I like, I trust you."

"𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚒𝚗𝚜𝚊𝚗𝚎. like you go in, knowing it's gonna be fuckin' incredible, and it still just completely blows your mind and exceeds every single expectation? dude, i feel changed. i feel like a different man now than i was going into that movie." is he being dramatic? yes. does it sound like he one hundred percent means every word he says? also yes. as a born lover of musicals and theater kid from way back, monty's been looking forward to seeing wicked all year long, and he couldn't have asked for a better person to see it with than ducky because he knows, he gets it. "i'm so glad you're driving, i'm still crying, i can't see righnow, i'd kill us." he's half joking as he says that last part, but brings a hand up to dab at his under eyes anyway. they're currently on their way to 'lick the spoon' for a little post-movie treat, and he can practically already hear the pineapple sorbet calling his name. "what was your favorite part?" he asks, the first of many questions, no doubt.

˙ ˖ ✶ Hattie

Ducky shuddered at the use of his government name, only really hearing it whenever he was in trouble. "Please, call me Ducky, only my mother calls me Declan when she's pissed at me." Ducky wasn't sure what to make of this conversation, but it was certainly interesting. "Pretty sure that's a terrible way to make sure someone doesn't think you're a stalker. It's like telling the cops you didn't commit the crime whilst holding the evidence," he added. Shaking his head he couldn't help but giggle. "Better tea than coffee, the devil's juice."

hattie swanned into the café, the familiar symphony of clinking cups and murmured conversations wrapping around her like a favorite, albeit slightly threadbare, jumper. she was here for her ritualistic cuppa and the not-so-small task of conjuring up podcast brilliance—a rather ironic endeavour given how this place felt about as inspiring as a damp dishcloth in the morning. across the room, a bloke caught her eye. he had that whole brooding, 'i've-seen-some-things' vibe and yet, there was a flicker in his gaze that piqued her curiosity. that had to be ducky, the young writer with a knack for surviving the unspeakable. she'd heard the whispers—his books and the tales behind them. feigning a casual air, she procured her milky tea and floated over to a spot nearby, attempting the subtlety of a ninja in a library. flashing a cheeky grin, she leaned in just enough to catch his attention. " 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐟 𝐢 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧? 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐢'𝐦 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐞𝐚 𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟𝐟. " she plonked herself down with a playful glint in her eye, ready to unravel the enigma that was ducky.
