[danserai]

[ it's a dark and — well it's just a dark month and ahiru never really functions well in the dark. she gets spooked easily which is sort of what happens here. a sequence of events, by a duck.

1. she enters the kitchen. the lights are off and she bumps into various furniture. ]

Ow ow ow ow —

[ 2. her hand brushes against a coat hanging on top of a chair. in her mind, she imagines a snake.

3. She panics and lets out a loud: ]

Quack!

[ 4. ahiru ends up turning into a duck on screen. gasp! not that she has realized she's being recorded.

5. she quickly waddles off and there's the sound of water and she comes back into the kitchen with a relief. ]

— Phew that was clo . . . ooooose, O-Odette! Were you displaying this the whole time?! A-Ah!!

[ ahiru immediately runs in front of the feed, waving her hands frantically. ]

You didn't see that! There's nothing to see! It was . . . uh, uh, a MYSTERY DUCK that broke into the house but it's gone now!

[ alas, ahiru has been well and truly outed as . . . a duck. ]

[He....doesn't even know this girl. Duck. Girl duck. But he clears his throat.]

You probably shoulda said that was a prank or something. More people would've believed you then. Now it's just kinda...all out there. You kinda magic'd in front of the whole network.

Including total strangers like me.

[A beat.]

So what's it like being able to turn into a duck?

1/2

[danserai]

[ ah, what a smart solution! stupid, stupid ahiru!! ]

2/2

[danserai]

It — It doesn't feel like anything? It's just a transformation . . .

[ They did, in fact, all see that. Anakin feels rather bad for her-- clearly a closely-kept secret was broadcast to everyone.

So he decides to play along. ]

Do mystery duck home invasions happen here often?

[danserai]

Yes. All the time. Be careful of. Of ducks.

[Luz happens to see this, and this definitely gets her attention since she was up her room, writing down glyph combinations].

Ahiru! Your duck is showing!

[danserai]

It's too late . . . I can never go outside again . . . Leave me here . . .

I see the jig is up.

If anyone gives you trouble, send me their names. I'll execute them swiftly.

[danserai]

Do you think there'll be trouble?

But no executing! Not even a little executing!!

[Mebh is something of a shape-changer herself, so what happens in the video doesn't shock her, but she still can't help but let out a snort of laughter.]

You turn into a duck? [Becoming a wolf, sure, but a duck? To her, that's pretty funny.]

[danserai]

[ she sighs. worst day ever. ]

Yeah . . .

[schoolingfish]

Ahiru! Are you all right?

And...um...I wouldn't worry about what anyone might have seen. Everyone's really nice here!

[danserai]

I'm okay, everything's fine . . . except for everyone knowing, that's less fine . . .

[likethelight]

[ Oh no. ]

Ahiru? [ Concerned boy is concerned. Although probably not for the reasons she might think he is. ]

Are you alright?

[danserai]

[ she gives a small nod. ]

I'm okay, but what am I going to do? Everyone knows now!

[anthropophagite]

[ oh it's a very cute duck, though! Kaneki smiles a little, although he understands wanting to hide what you are, being a duck isn't... so bad, not really. ]

Are you a human who can turn into a duck, or a duck who can turn into a human?

[danserai]

[ she sighs loudly. ahiru considers lying but what would be the point now? and she's never liked lying anyway. ]

I'm a duck . . . that can turn into a human.

[sparkknight]

[Klee sees the whole thing and isn't bothered by it. She knows the Fischl does a weird thing that that she becomes a bird for a little while. So maybe it's like that? Still, Klee knows running into stuff hurt]

Ahiru are you okay? That looks that hurt.

[danserai]

Yeah, I just banged into a chair and thought the cloak was a snake . . .

[ very normal things. ]

[fattyhands]

[ what did she just watch. ]

so
you've been a squid. a human. a duck
huh
well now you have to rate them best to worst

[danserai]

Oh. Uh.

Human >>>> Duck >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Squid?

No offense to squids! I'm sure they're very nice!

[individualized]

[Echo might be curious. Maybe. It's hard to tell. She's pretty emotionless and monotone.]

... Is it a problem?

[danserai]

Uhm.


No? Maybe? . . . Yes?

[ what is the right answer here. ]

[foulhussy]

[ Kainé looks mildly bemused, but not particularly worried. Is that the secret that she was trying to hide? ]

Eh, don't worry about it. I don't think anybody's gonna give you shit over your duck powers, kiddo.

[ But... does it cause her problems, having that revealed? ]

You okay?

[danserai]

M'okay . . . Just don't like that everyone knows I'm a duck now . . .

[What.

What did you just do on camera? How do you even manage to do these things?]

[possessum]

( Peter isn't freaking out as much as he might have, not too long ago. Being in Trench has sort of increased his threshold for the bizarre, and he was sporting physical demonic attributes just last month.

.....Still. When he sees Ahiru turn into a little duck.... it's a lot to process. He's wide-eyed, ogling his own screen. Is she all right? Is this... some manifestation of Corruption in her? If it is, it's certainly the cutest so far. Of course, Peter manages to be Very Worried about it. )

Hey, are you... okay? Has this kind of thing been happening to you a lot recently...?

( Sorry Ahiru, he definitely doesn't believe the Mystery Duck thing.... )

[danserai]

Mr. Graham . . .

[ her face wobbles. ]

T-This is who I am.

Wait a second! That duck... I'm pretty sure I've seen that duck before!

[danserai]

Y-Yeah, that was me . . . Sorry.

[Tinya's head is tilted slightly to the side, clearly concerned]

...Ahiru? Are you okay? [she's not going to approach the duck situation, not until she gets a little more information]

[danserai]

Yeah, it's just me being clumsy and Odette being weird . . .

[stilljustyou]

( Oh... She's a duck, huh? Frisk watches for a moment before offering a small, subtle smile.

They don't seem all that phased by knowledge of something like this coming to light -- they've seen things that are far more strange. )

You're cute.

[danserai]

[ she goes profusely red. ]

C-C-Cute? M-M-Me?

Oh my god.

[He presses a fist to an open palm in an AH-HAH gesture.]

Your hair! It's the same lil' cowlick.

[danserai]

It does?

[ tentatively, ahiru pats her own hair. the cowlick stays up. ]

Hey there, neat trick you've got going.
Why're you freaking out so much about a little transforming?
