Character Name: Duck
Character Fandom: Princess Tutu

[This was probably the last thing she thought would happen to her. It was one thing to be stuck in this strange place, it was enough to be here as a duck. She didn't have her pendent, so what was she going to do? She would have to live as a duck, but in this strange place, she wasn't sure if she wanted to. She let out a small sigh. There really wasn't much she could do in this situation. Although a thought did cross her mind.

She went to search for water, no matter how little it may be. She was positive she wouldn't be able to return as a girl and she promised Fakir that she would be her true self. What harm was it to make sure, though? Once she found a fountain dripping slowly, she ran under it to see if it would work. Once she was hit with the water drop, she braced herself out of habit to see if she would change back.

Nothing happened.

Letting out another sigh, she went on her way, examining where she might be. It wasn't like she could just ask around to see how she got there or where she was. No one would understand her. Passing by a store, she noticed something from the corner of her eye.]

No, it's nothing. Keep on walking, Duck....

[She couldn't help but to look again. What she saw was not what she expected.]

What?! Is that--- It is! But how?!

[In the store display, she saw that familiar pendent that she knew anywhere. She instantly ran to go grab it, waiting for someone else to open the door to the store. Once she got in, she maneuvered her way to the display, trying to get to the pendent. Just before she was about to grab it with her beak, someone reached for it.]

No! I need that! Quack! Quack!!

[Please get through to the person.... Please!]

[OOC: The italics show what she's thinking, not actually saying.]

I'm sure your world will be just fine with people like that.

Yes, I am sure it will be.

[Iroh pauses for a moment, and then bows ]

My apologies for not saying so sooner. My name is Iroh, it is a pleasure to meet you. I had gotten so caught up with talking I had forgotten my manners.

Ah! I'm sorry. My name is Duck. It's nice to meet you, Iroh.

[They had some strange names from where she was from apparently. Well, to each their own he supposed]

Duck, is it? What a very interesting name. What name does your duck go by?

[If her name was Duck, then the duck probably would have a different name right?]

[.... Crap. She forgot about having a "pet duck"]

Oh- I uhm.. Quac--

[Why did you have to say that, Duck? She attempted to run to the bathroom in time, but it's pretty safe to say that it's kind of easy to see her turn back.]

Ah! Oh dear!

[This is a bit worrying indeed. He proceeded to rush over to where Duck was]

Are you alright?!

[Maybe he didn't see her? She tried to gather her clothing and make a sack with it like she usually did.]

[Upon seeing the duck with the bundle of clothes, Iroh put two and two together]

Ah, are you alright Duck?

[He pauses for a second]

Quack once for yes, quack twice for no?

[Crap.... Well... no sense in trying to hide it now. She let out a small sigh.]

Quack....

[Iroh nodded at this. Had he not journeyed to the spirit world, this would all be a very surprising encounter for him. As such it rated on some of the things he had witnessed there]

I am assuming you can transform back? That may make talking a little easier. I will prepare some tea in the meantime. I think a nice cup of Jasmine tea would be about perfect right now. I will be waiting at the nearby picnic table if you would care for some company and a cup.

[He gave another bow, and then turned around and walked out of the store]

[She let out a sigh. She rushed to the bathroom again, grabbing her clothes. She somehow managed to turn back. She hurried to get dressed again and went to join Iroh. Once she was there she took a seat with a sigh.]

I'm sorry about that....

[Iroh poured her a cup and put it in front of her before saying anything]

That is quite alright. Not many would be willing to be forthcoming about being a duck. Have some tea, it is good for the body and soul.

[She took the cup, taking a sip.]

Thank you. It's... well... interesting to say the least....

[Iroh took a sip of his own tea before replying]

Very interesting. I suppose one benefit is having wings is not such a strange thing!

[He grinned a bit at that, hoping to put the girl at ease]

Well... This pendent... It allows me to become a girl.

I'm really just a duck...

You need not use phrases like just a duck. All living beings have a soul, and are worthy of respect.

[He'd have to not mention roast duck is his favorite food. That could be a bit awkward]

I suppose so. I'm just a little surprised to see this here. The last thing I remember, the pendent no longer existed...

[That would be a little awkward. Would you be able to eat such a cute duck?]

Well, items from your past, things once lost or destroyed can return here.

[He wasn't sure if this applied to people or not. There was part of him which would love to see his son Lu Ten again, but he didn't think it was likely]

I wonder if people would apply to that too? I mean... this pendent shouldn't have been here and yet here it is.

Well, people from different time lines are possible. So it would seem that people may return.

[He takes another sip of his tea contemplating a moment. Hoping to see his son again would not be something wise to hold too strongly too]

I just wonder how we're going to get out of here. I'm going to just guess and say it won't be easy.

[Is it ever easy, though?]

It seems a difficult thing certainly. However, it is your choice what to do with your time. My suggestion would be to use it as fully to enjoy life and seek to better oneself. No prison can be maintained forever.

[Taking his words into consideration...]

I suppose that would probably be for the best. If we can't get out right now, we might as well enjoy ourselves, right?

Precisely. It is all a matter of perspective.

[You could either be overwhelmed by life, or take it in stride at times]

Right!

Well if you ever need any help, I'll do what I can to help out.
