Qwack's up everybody ?
It's update time !
---------------
So, when I last wrote, ducks were treated like
vermin !
This poor condition of theirs will change during my reign ! I swear it !
---
Soon after my appointment, I - Sprig, the duckcare inspector - spent a long time quacking with the drakes, gathering their wills and requests.
I will do my best to accomodate them all.
A gathering took place near the nest boxes. The drakes were
furious ! Dwarves were enslaving them !
The drakes were plotting bad stuff. It was a tense and noisy moment.
Mutuny was in the air...
At some point, it went like this :
The duckverseer quacked :
Which you could translate to "Are you ducks treated well ?"
To which the drakes quacked loudly !
Which cannot be translated...
I immediatly tried appeasing the ducks.
A
revolution would have happened if I didn't !
After many concessions on my part, a deal was agreed upon.
I had work to do to improve the duck's well-being.
If I failed, I'd be
pecked to death...
---
After this tense meeting, I had a list of things to do.
To sum up, it consists of :
- Improving the ducks' freedom
- Increasing the fort's level of Ducksomeness
- More room ! More nestboxes ! More shinies for the duckies !
- This one old duck had a peculiar request...
... I will explain it when time comes...
.
- The duck-secretary drew a strange schematic of somehting I should do.
He said it would increase the Duckage level by a lot if we could build it somewhere.
------
Time for planning / building !New
quakers will be dug for our feathered friends !
The very large mayor's layer will get used and expanded for that.
This dream land shall be called
Duck-burg !It will have many
nestboxes, of course, but also
freshwater ponds for duckies to swim into,
ducks statues, a beautiful
smoothed floor and much more !
In the fortress, there is this weird empty, unfinished marble square room :
It seems unused, I will use it wisely for my projects.
I also asked the manager to produce a lot of useful items.
The figurines, depicting ducks surrounded by ducks, will either sale well, or help us improve the duckage level.
----------
Some time has passed.
Good news !
Scrooge Mc-Duck's little project is done ! This sturdy, unbreakable safe shelters lots of shiny coins.
Look at Scrooge waddling in his piles of money ! Look how cute he is !
Blue gold,
yellow gold,
bronze gold... You name a metal, Scrooge McDuck has a coin made out of it ! He's the richest duck of Duck-burg !
* Entones Ducktales music *----------
Spring ends, summer arrives.
Work is going well, the drakes are enthusiastic, but the dwarves are not all that happy...
(This is actually not the first dorf to do that. IIRC, Imic has stubled around one or twice before that...)
Depression ? Lack of motivation ?
Unhappy dwarves ?
...
Whatever ! We have many other dwarves who feel just fine !
And, more importantly,
the ducks are not depressed at all ! Look at them waddling in the soon to be finished Duck-burg :
I could not resist drawing them. Look how adorable they are
--------
Summer. Today, the drakes are
restless...
Worried little quacks are heard in every nests...
"What is going on ? ..."QUACK !!!"PROTECT THE DUCKS !!!" I yelled !
"Hide the eggs ! Get the duckverseer safe !"Luckily for us, the beast was on the other side of the river, giving us time to prepare the defense.
The ducks were hidden safely in Duck-burg, the dwarven warriors were deployed, and engaged the fight.
"CHARGE !", IcyTea (the war-leader) said
The fight was short, but violent :
Aftermath :Casualties :
0 ducks,
0 dwarves.
Wounded :
0 ducks,
1 dwarf.
I think he should be Okay.
Damages are then very limited.
No ducks were injured
during this movie ! This fight was a
total success !
--------
It is now time to resume the building of Duck-burg...
