"Nothing." Lauri laid her head on their shoulder, putting her embroidery to one side. Xandra had already done more than she could ever ask of them. Right now, existing together with their respective cats snoozing around the flat? That was all Lauri could ask for. "Whatever you think I need, you're already doing it, just by being here. So, keep doing that."

[magpies4nights]

Guys did you know if Ms. Akkljdkjldf908ijafs said there was a test tomorrow (dev log #7)

Hiiiii guys, it is Sunday. I would have updated y’all tomorrow but like I’ve said a bagillion times I live in Texas and there will be a freeze. To most people, they’ll roll their eyes at the temperatures (the coldest it’ll probably get is -7°C), but to Texans, if you say freeze they’ll run to the nearest HEB or Walmart and panic buy stuff to stock up for several days. We’re not really afraid of the cold, we’re afraid of a statewide power outage because we have a separate power grid from everyone else and going a degree lower than usual causes crazy shit to happen (shudders from the 2021 freeze). Well, oh well. I'll be trying to survive.

Ok, onto game shit. The most I did since the last time I updated y’all was finish 3 locations, like the outside of the player’s house, and the inside of the sewer (yes I know Snackcore’s sewer is inaccessible, but it’s kind of a throwback to get a snack at 4 am roleplay (oficial) that got privated in I think 2022(??)). There was a room that did not need a background though, which was nice because if you guys can’t tell with how the line boil is, I can’t draw straight lines (I’m too gay for that shit/j). Before you ask me why I couldn’t just use a ruler tool, it just takes the charm out of line boiling. 

Well, I made new music. Somehow visiting Roblox places from the late 2000’s gave me inspiration. Too bad I didn’t experience that in what it was supposed to be like because I didn’t know what Roblox was until around 2012-2013. 

(People Xandra considers nice won't get drums in their theme)

I decided that for my sanity, I had to fix Dummy's theme too. I know I posted it in my second dev log but ever since I made that song something about it was bothering me and it kept me up at night. Well, I think I fixed it. I don't sleep any better but I won't need to worry about it sounding like shit anymore.

(I discovered lost vocaloid songs and am sad about Stacy)

🎵 - what music reminds you of your headmates?

Hmm good question. Quite a few of my headmates have very different music tastes which I think is fun. Classic rock always reminds me of Rand and Kian; Marina and AJJ are Xandra’s faves; Will is big into MCR! If I kept going this list would be very long dhhdhd

🎁 - have you ever bought your headmates gifts?

Oh yeah all the time C: I also make everyone kandi for them to wear (if they’d like) when they’re fronting!

@strgazers (Xandra) said: ❛ how is it you’re never scared? ❜

"Come off it, Boss." Flick keeps her eye on the road, Xandra next to her and Davey in the back with their equipment. New to the job, she may be, but Flick is by no means new to combat situations. Providing military escort to one of UNIT's scientists is a much slower pace than she's used to. It's nice, even if they occasionally encounter hostile action.

"'Course I get scared. I just, like, I go fight instead of flight or freeze, or something. That's why we're here for when the hostile contact turns up, instead of leaving you to it."

[cesium-sheep]

bleh, I was walking home from fred meyer (got a puzzle magazine and some rice cakes), and at first I thought the silver infiniti (4 door luxury style car) was slowing down and rolling down their windows to be annoyed with me for walking down a not very pedestrian friendly stretch of road.

when I reached the next corner, he came around again, this time along crossways instead of along the road I was walking on. he rolled down his window and waved at me. I took out my headphones and asked what’s up from the passenger side of the car. he asked where I was headed and if I wanted a ride, and when I flatly said “no thank you” he laughed and said “so angry!”

the interior of his car was dark and I didn’t look for long, but he seemed to be a dark skinned man with long hair.

if anyone else lives in the lake city area, please be aware of a silver infiniti (4 door luxury style car) that may be offering rides to unaccompanied female-presenting people.

if you’re going to interact with a car stranger I suggest only talking from the passenger side window and cross behind the car if you’re leaving abruptly. although you should probably be smarter than me and not interact in the first place.

    PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK

                                     VS

                          ANNE GILLETTE

 Court:             Members of the Jury, Anne Gillette has been charged in two counts with the crime of murder in violation of Penal Code §187. The information alleges that on or about December 17, 2010, in Manhattan, New York, the defendant, Anne Gillette, did kill Bert Gillette and Elaine Gillette, in violation of Penal Code §187. To this charge, Anne Gillette, has entered a plea of not guilty.

Court:             District Attorney Casey Novak you may call your first witness.

D.A. Novak:   Your Honour, the People call Adeline Clark.

CLERK SWEARS IN THE WITNESS

AND HAS WITNESS STATE HER NAME.

D.A. Novak:   How are you employed, Miss Clark?

Clark:              I am employed as an assistant at Ms. Gillette’s Art Gallery.

D.A. Novak:   Back in early April, 2010, did you call the police to the gallery because the defendant, Anne Gillette, had injured and been injured in an altercation?

Clark:             Yes, I did.

D.A. Novak:     Do you remember which officers responded to the call out?

Clark:               No. I wasn’t introduced to them once they arrived. I had been tending to Ms. Gillette’s injuries.

D.A. Novak:     Do you remember what the altercation was about?

Clark:               Yes, I do.

D.A. Novak:       What was the reason for the altercation?

Clark:               There was a customer that had been trying to… Pressure Ms. Gillette into giving him information about how she is able to obtain such wonderful pieces for her gallery. She had asked him numerous times to leave but he didn’t. Instead he had grabbed her wrist and tried- tried taking her to somewhere out of view but she had punched him and broken out of his grasp. The man retaliated by pushing her causing her to fall in which she twisted her ankle and fractured her wrist. She was able to get up with my assistance where she then punched him with her uninjured hand.

D.A. Novak:      How did you manage to call the police so that they would arrive before the perpetrator fled?

Clark:               I was able to call the police with the earpiece we have to take calls while we are away from the phone so that was how I was able to help Ms. Gillette get up. The man had been knocked back and looked like he was a bit surprised by Ms. Gillette’s actions so that’s how the police arrived before he was able to make a run for it.

D.A Novak:       Is this the first time that Ms. Gillette has been involved in some altercation while you were present?

Clark:               No. There have been a lot of people that harass her while we are out and about. I am usually able to stop them from getting to her but sometimes they get too close.

D.A. Novak:      Were you with Ms. Gillette the day of Bert and Elaine Gillette’s murder?      

Clark:               I was.  

D.A. Novak:       Where were you both between the hours of two and five am?

Clark:              We were getting ready to go to Paris to meet connections in the art world so that we could get a wider variety of pieces for the gallery.

D.A. Novak:       Did Gillette leave at any point during those three hours?

Clark:               No.

D.A. Novak:       Do you see Ms. Gillette in court today?

Clark:               I do.

D.A. Novak:       Could you please point her out for the jury?

Clark:               She’s sitting right there. (Pointing to the defendant)

D.A. Novak:      No further questions, Your Honour.

Court:             Defence Counsel Rita Calhoun, you may cross examine.

Defence

Counsel

Calhoun:           So Ms. Gillette is often subject to unwarranted harassment while you both go about your day?  

Clark:              Yes she is. I have tried convincing her to get private security, but she insists that it isn’t necessary.

D.C. Calhoun:   Do you have an opinion as to whether she has done anything to warrant such treatment from the public?

Clark:               She has done nothing but try and run her business. She has me send ten percent of profits to charities at the end of each business month.

D.C. Calhoun:   By the way, Ma’am, who provided Gillette the funds to start her gallery in the first place?

Clark:               Her parents, Bert and Elaine Gillette.

D.C. Calhoun:   She had backing by her parents?

Clark:               Yes she did. They hoped that she succeeded at something for once in her life.

D.C. Calhoun:   Now, when you were at her residence the day of the alleged murder, are you positive that Gillette did not leave the property?

Clark:               Positive!

D.C. Calhoun:   No further questions, Your Honour.

Court:             Miss Clark you may step down. Any additional witnesses on behalf of the People?

D.A. Novak:       Your Honour, the People call Nigel Prestwick.

CLERK SWEARS IN THE WITNESS

AND HAS WITNESS STATE HIS NAME.

D.A. Novak:      How do you know the defendant Ms. Gillette?

Prestwick:       She had been accused of stealing money from the Prestwick Foundation, making donations to recipients which supposedly were her. However, the case was closed due to the money being replaced.

D.A. Novak:      Despite this, recently you decided to press embezzlement charges, correct?

D.C. Calhoun:   Objection! Mr. Prestwick was put under duress and blackmailed to press charges by Detective Olivia Benson and Detective Ashok Ramsey.

Court:             Objection sustained.

D.A. Novak:      Requesting permission to approach the bench, Your Honour.

Court:             Granted.

D.A. NOVAK AND D.C. CALHOUN

APPROACH THE STAND.

Casey runs her lithe fingers through her hair as she lets out a frustrated sigh, glaring at Rita as though the woman herself had committed the murder. Rita simply quirked a brow, an amused smile tugging slightly at her lips, “What is the issue, Novak? We both know that Prestwick was blackmailed into pressing those charges by Benson and Ramsey.” The Judge gives Casey a look of disbelief “Is this true?”

The red head supresses the urge to roll her eyes and cuss Rita out and deny it, but she was under oath and getting caught out in a lie wouldn’t end well for anyone. “It’s hardly blackmail. Benson and Ramsey just took a photo of Prestwick in a compromising position and said that he either go ahead with embezzlement charges or they show the videos of him to his wife. At least it’s not fuc- At least it’s not murder” she hisses out angrily.

Rita shakes her head and looks at the Judge “Can the witness be removed from the stand because of this, Your Honour?” The Judge nods and motions for them to return to their respective places. A thoroughly perturbed Casey makes her way back and scribbles something down on paper, throwing one last glare at Rita; The older woman returns to sit beside the defendant, whispering in her ear “the Judge is going to dismiss the witness. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you are found not-guilty.”

Court:             The witness, Nigel Prestwick is dismissed due to unscrupulous methods being used in order to get charges pressed against the defendant.

Court:             Mr. Prestwick you may step down. Any additional witnesses on behalf of the People?

D.A. Novak:    Your Honour, the People call Detective Ashok Ramsey.

CLERK SWEARS IN THE WITNESS

AND HAS WITNESS STATE HIS NAME.

D.A. Novak:      Detective, how do you know the defendant?

Ramsey:           I have been investigating her for a while now for tax evasion, and embezzlement.

D.C. Calhoun:   Objection! Relevance. We are here because the defendant has been accused of murder, not tax evasion and embezzlement where the charges have already been dropped.

Court:             Objection sustained. Change line of questioning or dismiss the witness.

D.A. Novak:      Fine. The prosecution rests.

Court:             Defence Counsel Calhoun, do you wish to cross-examine?

D.C. Calhoun: No, your Honour.

Court: Detective Ramsey you may step down. Any additional witnesses on behalf of the People?

D.C. Calhoun:   The defence calls the Chief of Detectives, Muldrew.

CLERK SWEARS IN MULDREW AND

ASKS HIM TO STATE HIS NAME.

D.C. Calhoun:   Fancy seeing you here, Chief Muldrew.

Muldrew:         It has been awhile, Ms. Calhoun.

D.C. Calhoun:  You have had previous encounters with my client where you, and a previous witness Mr. Prestwick-

D.A. Novak:     Objection. Relevance, what does this have to do with the current case?

D.C. Calhoun:   There will be a follow up question, your Honour.

Court:             Overruled. Get to the point, Calhoun.

D.C. Calhoun:   As I was saying… Your previous interactions with my client have been in regard to previous charges being dropped, yes?

Muldrew:         Yes, that’s correct.

D.C. Calhoun:   Is it true that with this case, you said to Olivia Benson, Ashok Ramsey, and Elliot Stabler that unless they can prove definitively that my client, Ms. Anne Gillette was the culprit, that they would be on their own?

Muldrew:         Well…

D.C. Calhoun:   Is it true or not, Chief Muldrew?

Muldrew:         Yes it is.

D.C. Calhoun:   Did you think that there was enough evidence that pointed towards Ms. Gillette before the investigation had begun formally?

Muldrew:         It was hard to say at that time-

D.C. Calhoun:   It’s a yes or no question, Chief.

Muldrew:         No, I didn’t.

D.C. Calhoun:   Upon finding out that Ms. Gillette was in the company of Miss Clark, whom I might add has no criminal record, the time Ms. Gillette committed the alleged murder, did you think that your team was desperate to get her behind bars seeing as she has gotten off previous charges?

Muldrew:         …yes.

D.C. Calhoun:   My apologies, Chief Muldrew, I didn’t quite catch that, could you repeat yourself a bit louder into the microphone please?

Muldrew:         Yes I did- do think that the detectives were just wanting to see Ms. Gillette put behind bars because they were unable to get her on prior charges.

D.C. Calhoun:   Were you aware of the methods the detectives used in order to get Mr. Prestwick to go through with pressing charges?

D.A. Novak:       Objection. Relevance.

D.C. Calhoun:   It was during this current investigation that Mr. Prestwick was blackmailed. The question is relevant.

Court:             Overruled. Might do you some good to pay attention, Novak.

D.C. Calhoun:   Chief Muldrew, your answer please.

Muldrew:         No, I was not aware of it until today.

D.C. Calhoun:   Were you also unaware of Ms. Gillette being set-up so that a confession could be coerced out of her in unusual and stressful circumstances?

Muldrew:         No, I wasn’t aware of that. By this point I did not see enough solid evidence to link Ms. Gillette to the crime, so the team were off on their own.

D.C. Calhoun:   Were you aware of what Detectives Benson, Ramsey, and Stabler were up to, would you have let them continue on their warpath?

Muldrew:         No, I wouldn’t have. There is a right way and a wrong way to go about investigating crimes, especially ones as high-profile as this.

D.C. Calhoun:   No further questions, your Honour.

Court:             District Attorney Novak, you may cross-examine.

D.A. Novak:       No thank you, your Honour.

Court:             Chief of Detective Muldrew, you may step down. Defence Counsel Calhoun, does the defence wish to call any witnesses?

D.C. Calhoun:   The defence calls the defendant, Anne Gillette.

CLERK SWEARS IN MS. GILLETTE AND ASKS HER TO STATE HER NAME.

D.C. Calhoun:   Ms. Gillette, prior to the incident, how was your gallery doing?

Gillette:           It was doing well thanks to my assistant.

D.C. Calhoun:   When did you hire Miss Clark for that position?

Gillette:           It seems like so long ago. I think it was roughly around mid-January.

D.C. Calhoun:   Why did you decide to hire Miss Clark as an assistant after unsuccessfully trying to run galleries in the past?

Gillette:           My- My parents they… thought that I deserved one more chance to do something that I was- am passionate about. I didn’t want to disappoint them again because that’s all that I seemed capable of doing. So… I looked around and discovered that most successful gallery owners have assistants to help them.

D.C. Calhoun:   Has Miss Clark met the deceased before?

Gillette:           She has.

D.C. Calhoun:   Was she aware of you being the sole heir to the estate?

Gillette:           She was not until my parents brought it up in conversation one day.

D.C. Calhoun:   Was she, Miss Clark, aware of how strained your relationship with your parents had been?

Gillette:           No. I didn’t think the past would be beneficial towards the future of my business as well as re-building the relationship with my parents. I wanted her to have an unbiased opinion of them.

D.C. Calhoun:   Were your parents still happy together?

D.A. Novak:       Objection! The defendants answer would be hearsay.

Court:             Objection sustained.

D.C. Calhoun:   Did you have concern for your father’s mental well-being before he killed your mother before himself?

Gillette:           Of course, but I- I didn’t- I never thought he was capable of… killing my mother… He was your typical man, didn’t really like discussing mental health but I knew that he would occasionally see someone. I- I don’t know what changed in those twenty-four hours…

D.C. Calhoun:    Why was the trip postponed until the day the deceased were found dead?

Gillette:             I suggested that they wait another day because my mother was still recovering from the flu. I didn’t think travelling at the time would be a pleasant experience due to her still being ill. I know from personal experience that traveling while sick is absolutely miserable, so I only wanted both my parents to enjoy their time.

D.C. Calhoun:    Were you and Miss Clark actually packing at that hour for a flight to Paris?

Gillette:           Yes we were.  We had done an online check-in for the flight so that by the time we made it to the airport we wouldn’t need to stress over running late.

D.C. Calhoun:     No further questions.

Court:               Cross examination, District Attorney Novak?

D.A. Novak:       Ms. Gillette, you have a history of failure and criminal charges, correct?

D.C. Calhoun:    Objection. Relevance to the current case as no charges were successfully pressed.

Court:             Sustained. Change line of questioning.

D.A. Novak:     You spent all the money you were given in your trust fund from your parents, correct?

D.C. Calhoun:   Objection. Relevance.  

D.A. Novak:     There will be a follow-up question, your Honour.

Court:         Overruled. That question better be relevant, Novak.

D.A. Novak:       Thank you, your Honour. Ms. Gillette, your answer please.

Gillette:           I did, yes.

D.A. Novak:      Is it true that you were upset that your mother had been discussing whether or not to remove you from their will?

Gillette:           I was, but-

D.A. Novak:       Did you threaten to kill your mother if she did not keep you on the will?

D.C. Calhoun:   Objection. Leading question.

Court:               Sustained.

D.A. Novak:     Why was your name still on the will if your mother had reason to remove you from it?

Gillette:         How would I know that?    

D.A. Novak:     Miss Clark said that you often find yourself getting involved in altercations, is this true?

Gillette:         Yes. She said it under-oath so why would she lie when the consequences would be more severe than just telling the truth?

D.A. Novak:     I’m surprised you know the consequences, Ms. Gillette, but it’s not entirely surprising seeing as you have had run-ins with the law before-

D.C. Calhoun:   Objection. What is the point?

Court:             Sustained. Hurry up and get to the point, Novak.

D.A. Novak:     Your history of run-ins leads one to believe that you are rather volatile. Have you ever hit or injured one or both of your parents?

D.C. Calhoun:   Objection. Relevance.

Court:             Overruled. Novak, continue.

D.A. Novak:     Thank you. Ms. Gillette?

Gillette:         No. I haven’t.

D.A. Novak:     I find that hard to believe, Ms. Gillette seeing as, if we are to believe what Miss Clark has been saying is true, you often react physically when an altercation arises.

Gillette:         I act in self-defence. I have never gone out of my way to deliberately injure someone! You can’t blame me for my parent’s death when I wasn’t even there!

D.A. Novak:     Yes, Ms. Gillette, I do blame you. No further questions, your Honour.

Court:             Ms. Gillette, you may step down. Defence Counsel Calhoun, any further witnesses?  

D.C. Calhoun:   The defence rests.

Court:             We will now hear closing arguments of counsel. District Attorney Novak you may proceed.

D.A. Novak:     Members of the jury – the evidence is undisputed that the defendant, Ms. Gillette brutally murdered her parents. The evidence shows that Ms. Gillette has a history of run-ins with the law as well as physical altercations. She also is clearly incapable of being smart with her money, and seeing as she is the sole heir to the Gillette Estate she has more than enough motive to commit this atrocious act. Ms. Gillette’s mother had been contemplating removing her from the will which, the defendant admitted, upset her considerably. The detectives investigating this case have reason to believe that this was indeed a homicide committed by Ms. Gillette and not a murder-suicide committed by Mr. Bert Gillette!

Court:         Defence Counsel Calhoun, you may proceed with your closing argument.    

D.C. Calhoun:    Members of the jury. My client, Ms. Gillette, is not guilty of this charge. The investigation was unjust from the start; Ms. Gillette was coerced into her confession under rather dubious circumstances, and Prestwick was blackmailed into pressing charges. The detectives have been gunning for Ms. Gillette to be sent down from the beginning. We have even heard from Chief Muldrew that he thought the detectives were out of order and were behaving inappropriately considering how high profile that this case is. Miss Clark and Ms. Gillette were at Ms. Gillette’s residence preparing for their flight and we have heard in Miss Clark’s testimony that Ms. Gillette did not leave the premises between the hours of two and five am. It is clear that there is an unfair bias towards Ms. Gillette which has narrowed their perspective. Bert Gillette had a history of mental health issues and unfortunately it seems that they got the better of him resulting in the untimely death of Elaine Gillette before he took his own life. Ms. Gillette did not kill her parents. She is not guilty.

Court:       Court is adjourned while the Jury retire to deliberate.

As soon as the Judge has left the room as well as the Jury, the courtroom is filled with the sound of people talking, only just able to be passed off as aggressive whispering. Rita lets out a breath she felt like she had been holding since Anne took the stand but surprisingly, she held her own and didn’t have one of her notorious outbursts. She sorts her papers out and puts them in her folder, a somewhat cocky smirk on her face, “I have a good feeling about this, Ms. Gillette.” Anne laughs lightly and stands up alongside Rita “I would expect nothing less from you, Ms. Calhoun. You are one of the best after all.”

Equipment: Casey's Walkman 1 - Casey's Walkman 1 was Casey's Sony TPS-L2 Walkman Headset that originally belong to his mother who had strong love for pop songs and passed this onto Casey. He is very protective of his walkman, as it was the only thing Casey had left of his mom. However, during the Moonvasion it was destroyed by Lunaris in order break the will of Casey, only to failed as the mage would later used it as motive to kill the Moon Tyrant. It was a blue and silver Sony TPS-L2 Walkman Headset with black headphones with orange buds.

Casey's Walkman 2 - Casey's Walkman 2 is Casey's Sony Walkman NW-E390 that the family had gotten for him for his birthday as a replacement after his original one was destroyed by Lunaris. It is a black and small Sony Walkman NW-E390 but more fancier than his old one.

Imperium - Imperium is Casey's trademark enchanted sword. Forged by Hephaestus, the magical sword was crafted from the sharpest metals in the entire cosmos, capable of cutting through the strongest medals and can even wound a God. According to Selene, an incantation was casted onto Imperium so that only the one that was worthy of its power would be able to move it from its resting place. Imperium would remain on its pedestal for decades until its eventual master finally came to Ithaquack. And that would be Casey who would use the powerful weapon to defeat his twin sister and then Hades in the Underworld. The sword would serve as Casey's main weapon during the many adventures and battles he participating in with the McDuck family before putting it away after the events of the Spear of Selene and wouldn't be used until 10 years later when Casey and the family crash landed on Ithaquack, where he would be forced to summon Imperium from Duckburg to help him in his battle against a mind control Storkules. After leaving Ithaquack, Casey would start using Imperium once again whenever he and the family face off against dangerous enemies or monsters. During the Moonvasion, Imperium would be destroyed by Lunaris in Casey's battle with him who upattain the Mind Gem. Hephaestus would later reforge Imperium for Casey to aid him in his final battle against Lunaris. After the invasion and killing Lunaris for good, Casey is given back the Mind Gem and placed back into his signature weapon. Imperium is a silver-colored longsword, the blade was long and double-edged, with the forward-facing edge curving outwards to form the guard. The handguard is heavily designed with rings slanting down it and reversing at the center of the handguard, and the pommel carries a round piece that almost resembles a skull. Near the pointed out part of the handguard, there were teeth biting into it. 

Magic Satchel - Casey's ever handing magic satchel that he keeps all of his items he needs when on an adventure. It is a dark brown satchel with his family crest on it that Grandma Duck stitched onto the bag. 

Inferno Blaze - Inferno Blaze is an enchanted axe and Casey's new secondary weapon that he got during the Moonvasion after Lunaris destroyed Imperium in their first battle. It is a dark gray and silver broad-axe with a small spike on the back. In the middle part of the axe blade, the Valknut symbol (which glows a bright amber color) was engraved into it while also engrave on the edge of blade were the Old Norse letters "ᛁᚾᚠᛖᚱᚾᛟ", that translated to "Inferno", that also glow a fierce amber. The handle was light brown with a curve and wrapped with different strips of dark brown leather on it (one next to the blade, the second one creating an X-shape and the third and last one being used as the gripped) and lastly had a silver ring at the end of it.

Robot Arm - Casey's robotic arm that replaces his organic right arm that he lost in his final battle against Lunaris. The arm has a black base with silver plating. The fingers are silver with black joints. It has a hidden hand blade that resembles a Katar that he can use for combat if he doesn't summon Imperium or Inferno Blaze.

Appearance: Casey is a white-feathered duck with short auburn hair and emerald green eyes. Whenever Wrath takes over, his eyes turn a bloody red and his feathers untamed. He is quite small for his age, standing at only 88.9 cm (2'11"), reaching Della's shoulders, and has a lean muscular build. Minus the height, Casey is quite similar to his father according to Scrooge and Beakley. He wears a zipped up black jacket with a high, upturned collar with white accents, dark blue jeans, and black and dark gray boots. Underneath his jacket, he wears a white polo shirt with a black collar, black cuffs, and black-stripe in the middle and he also wears a silver necklace tied around his neck with a heart-shaped locket tied to it, which holds a small picture of him and Della on their wedding day in it. 

When using 100% of his magic, Casey has the ability to activate a super mode of sorts. When he does so, his hair becomes dark fiery red, his feathers become white-orange (still mostly white), a bright reddish-orange aura surround him, an enormous amount of fire crackles around his body and his emerald green eyes would change to a amber orange that glow brightly. When he enters this form, his lean muscular body becomes more muscular. 

On his left wrist, Casey has a large jagged scar after trying to attempt suicide. 

After the Moonvasion and the final battle with Lunaris, Casey lost his right arm after Lunaris cut it off and later had it replaced by a new prosthetic arm. The arm has a black base with silver plating. The fingers are silver with black joints.  

During his time as the vigilante after Della's supposed death, he wore a black and red bodysuit with a red mask with two large circular eye holes with a mischievous smile on the right side and a cracked left side that was gunmetal grey with a large demonic fang smile. After he gave up his vigilante lifestyle after Webby found him beaten up on the floor, he burned the costume in the woods.

His nightwear consists of a gray wolf sleep mask, a black and white striped sweater, and matching lounge pants.

A cute gift from Huey, he wears a black apron with the words “Abracadabra-DAD-bra” on it whenever he cooks. 

When going to an event or a party, Casey dresses in a suit, consisting of a light gray blazer, suit pants, and a maroon shirt with an upturned collar. His shoes and belt are a white snakeskin pattern.

In The Impossible Summit of Mount Neverest, Casey wore a black padded jacket with neon snow goggles and black snow boots.

In his mage form, he wore a green Victorian-style long sleeve shirt with golden accents and linings, a pair of simple, loose, midnight blue pants tucked inside black knee-length boots. This was his first attire that he wore into battles up until the Moonvasion which was damaged by Lunaris during their first battle. After getting healed by Alice and Morgana, Casey is given a brand new mage attire by Charlie; he now wears a black long sleeved shirt topped off by a dark blue vest with a long bright red scarf wrapped around his neck that falls behind his back, black fingerless gloves, dark red pants and black ankle boots.

In Quack Pack, he wore a pair of black square glasses, a black button shirt with an upturned collar, a silver watch on his right wrist, dark blue jeans and his regular shoes.

When Casey was a young pre-teen, his hair was unkempt and he was really small, something he was teased or mocked about even to this day. He used to wear a black baseball cap, a red short sleeve jacket with a black shirt underneath, dark brown cargo shorts, and dark gray sneakers.

When he turned 14, Casey decided to give himself a makeover; he got a haircut that was short and wavy with an undercut. He also added light blue highlights into it as suggested by the Duck Twins. He also changed his attire to a plain light blue hoodie, and a black leather jacket with dark blue accents, dark gray jeans with rips in them and black boots with blue lines.

[magpies4nights]

huh (Dev log # I'M ON 4?!!?!?!)

Hi guys! It’s me, @magpies4days on a different blog! That’s really the only promise I kept. Whoops. That’s why I don’t do promises. Anyways, since the last time I updated y'all, I passed all my finals and everything that was important. Yep, I passed my finals, which seems miraculous, because I accidentally studied the wrong study guide for my history exam and didn't really sleep enough the night before, and I got a 90 on it, which I'll be honest, that was the lowest grade I've ever gotten on a test in that class, but it's still an A so I won't cry about it. I turned in a really shitty essay too for one of my classes, but it seems that my professor didn’t actually read it because she gave me a 100 (ain’t gonna complain about that). I also procrastinated so hard on my graphic design final that I did it in like 3 hours and finished it 2 minutes before it was late. I still turned it in 5 minutes late because my computer decided it was funny to start acting up. Oh well, I passed that class, even for honor's standards. Normally I would be happy getting a B because I'd get a C and still celebrate but unfortunately I slayed too hard that my GPA was the minimum requirement for the Honor's organization to notice me. That's the Thinker in my Myers Briggs type showing baybee (JK JK I'm an INFP (unfortunately.)). Anyways, I’m on my winter break, and as much as I love getting breaks, god I forgot how much I hate summer and winter breaks. Summer breaks make me depressed because I have nothing to do, and winter breaks make me depressed because it’s literally the worst season of the year (cold weather (I have cold urticaria), dry air, less sun, the position of the sun is weird, and d3 barely does anything).

Anyways, onto the actual dev stuff. I probably should’ve figured this out the moment I started my idea, but I found out that to export my game to Mac, I’d have to have a developer id and pay for it. Which now I understand why most indie devs never upload to Mac. Oh well. (Fun fact: Mac actually has a feature called BootCamp which lets you portion your hard drive to allow you to have a Windows driver (Be wise on your portioning though because it’s permanent). I found this out when I was 16 and trying to download Pizza Tower demos. Totally not saying that so you could play it on your “Mac,” *wink wink*).

I had to switch my dialog stuff from a script I found on the internet, to an add-on that most Godot devs use ( Dialogic). I know. I am awful. However, there is a reason to this, and it’s entirely because I am an idiot. I have experimented with how Godot exports JSONs, and as it turns out, the images nor the audio would load! The text would, but it’s just not the same, especially when the dialog box is supposed to change with the character speaking. While it could be something in my code that is causing this to happen, or I'm forgetting to export something else while checking off all the boxes, it still gives me a headache and I decided it was for the best to switch. I may not be able to code for now, but there may be a day when I can. Hopefully. I had to change the layout of the dialog stuff because Dialogic kinda makes it like a visual novel kinda thing. I decided to torture myself and make everyone have different heights. Don't worry, everyone has relatively normal heights. Except for mayyybe Sleepy Weepy. They're like 6'2 (which may mean there's some cutoff for their sprites).

Aaaaanyways, enough about me suffering about dialog again. I’ve been working on the beginning and ending cutscene so that I can first torture everyone with 5 minutes of dialog in the beginning and then at the end music with text that may give people a hard time reading the lyrics. The animation isn’t done, but the text kinda is??? I’ll have to revise it like I have the past 56 times because my future self is hard to please, and I think everyone is out of character except Xandra.

Yeahhh, that’s about it so far. I made new music while I was being harassed with finals. Take a gander, but with your ears. Or don't, forcing you is unethical.

Top 10 Sleepy Weepy of all time!!!!! (This is doesn't even make it in the honorable mentions)

[crcwned]

okay, so i don’t really have a dedicated tag for ships, but i also have a lot of ships that i want, so i went ahead and made a list. it’s non-exhaustive, and i’m open to other fcs pairings that aren’t on it, but these are just some basic ideas. if you see anything you like, leave a ♡ and i’ll come to you about plotting !

"Um...Donald, a moment, would you please?"

Donald Duck turned around at the call of his great-grandfather, who had one hand in front of his bill, another behind his back, and a sheepish smile on his face.

Clinton Coot approached Donald quickly, stuffing the thing he had been hiding into the younger duck's palm. He held Donald's hand with utmost sincerity, the object between either's palms.

"This...please deliver to Ari for me, would you?" Clinton looked at the Caballero with a sentimental smile, coupled with almost begging eyes. As if he hadn't tried hard enough, his descendant would have denied that tiny request, even after he had literally helped them escape death.

"O-o-of c-course, M-Mister Coot...Um, Great-Grandpa..." Donald rapidly nodded, both in surprise and gratitude. "You have helped us so much, it's only fair we do something for you in return..."

The ghost duck blinked his eyes, biting his lower bill, before hugging his great-grandson affectionately. "Thank you, Donald...Thank you so much..."

Donald felt his cheeks warmed-up, but hugged his ancestor that he had just met for less than a day in courtesy. He glanced to his back, seeing José, Panchito and Xandra waiting for him by the exit, heart-warmed smiles on their faces. As patient as his friends might be, Donald still felt uneasy making them wait in that unfamiliar territory any longer.

Donald gently nudged his way out, excusing himself with a wave of his hat. Before he spoke, Clinton had already guessed his train of thoughts.

"Go. Your friends are waiting for you." Clinton waved at Donald and his friends, his usual friendly smile radiating from his ghostly expression. Donald waved in reply, along with the other three, as he rushed to the portal.

Clinton didn't stop waving, until the last bit of the group disappeared out of sight. He then took off his foggy pair of glasses, wiping his eyes with the left sleeve of his coat.

Though a spectre already, tears still stained the ghostly fibre.

----------------------

Donald blinked for a few seconds to get used to the sunlight again. He tried rubbing his eyes with his fists, but something poked his left eye when his balled hands approached.

Donald opened his still blurry eyes, feeling the "parcel" with his hands before he regained his sight.

Upon inspection, it was an envelope.

More accurately, it was a letter.

Questions flooded his mind as he realised what the thing his great-grandfather had given to him was. Why would Clinton want to give Ari a letter, of all things? Could Ari even read? How did Clinton even know that crazy bird's name?

But these questions sank to the bottom of his mind, once his friends called his name from behind.

Donald hastily jogged to catch up, the envelope tightly held in his hand.
