No I don't.... augh, stupid popups!

World of Battlecraft I thought you weren't going to do this sort of thing! Are my addons updated? This isn't a LUA Error!

[Kamala reaches out and pats the monitor gently.]

Great. Now my computer's decided that it wants to open a browser to the internet in the middle of a dungeon. Well, I guess that's my life, no loot for SlothBaby.

What's the Duck anyhow?

[ms_perfection]

Getting that now but at the same time I'm a little overwhelmed. Does it have to be so internet like with just being raw unfiltered weird?

[outofthemanor]

That's what makes it what it is

[ms_perfection]

I guess so. I guess it wouldn't be the internet if it wasn't.

Strange though that this place doesn't encourage handles.

[outofthemanor]

Typically who you are online is not who you are in the real world. Why use a handle with that layer?

[ms_perfection]

I suppose so. It seems so odd that the layer of anon is broken down with this internet. Looking back on the history, even back in the old days before it shut down, no one used handles at all.

Just... wow...

[outofthemanor]

Thus the question: was the Duck where people were able to be their true selves?

[ms_perfection]

Well, yeah, I guess? I mean, if the Duck was a place where people could just be themselves...

[outofthemanor]

An interesting quandary.

[ms_perfection]

I guess it makes a bit of sense. So it makes sense not to use a handle.

[outofthemanor]

And why people feel safe in revealing their identity on the Duck

[ms_perfection]

Yeah I guess you're right.

Kinda weird, kinda odd and kinda just... refreshing to be honest.

[outofthemanor]

The truth is always refreshing in a world that lives by its lies.

[ms_perfection]

You got that right.

So what do people do to pass the time on this Duck anyhow? Just internet things?

[outofthemanor]

From my understanding, that would be correct.

[ms_perfection]

Huh. I wonder what's out there then. Gotta be something neat.

[outofthemanor]

The only advice to give is to tell you to go and look.

[ms_perfection]

There's a lot of cool movies on the list here. Some of which I've never seen before.

... [scroll scroll.]

Who's Superman?

[outofthemanor]

A male power fantasy in tight blue spandex.

[ms_perfection]

They say that a lot about superhero movies though.

And superheroes in general.

[outofthemanor]

A being who can do anything, is seen as a paragon that everyone looks up to, and is generally a god among humans.

[ms_perfection]

Yeah, but like, what MAKES him good? What makes him someone to look up to?

I'm digging in deeper.

[She checks in and oh. Okay, she found the burrito comic.]

Oh, okay, I see now. He just... needs to help people and never stops helping people. That's cute actually. I like that. He's a lot more human than most of the heroes of my world that's for sure.

I'm gonna dig in on this and check it out a little more. I get the feeling I'm in for a wild ride. I wonder if Comixology takes interdimensional credit cards...

[outofthemanor]

I wouldn't know.
