[An intimidating man is looking down at you, DDD. One wearing an intricate mask of tubes that covers the lower half of his face, so that they only clear feature left is his eyes. Said eyes squint down before shifting into an appearance of wry amusement.

In a muffled, accented voice, he addresses the community congenially -- those his eyes narrow a bit as he speaks:]

So, it seems our computers have been overtaken by some little birds. How curious.

Tell me, little ducks: what are you doing here? I don't believe we've ever been acquainted.

I'm afraid you're being a bit of a nuisance. My comrades and I are due to be kidnapped tomorrow and we have quite a bit to plan before it occurs.

[kittyhell]

So your kidnapping was predetermined then? That's a little...nontraditional.

Oh...and these particular ducks are here to stay for an indefinite amount of time.

[gothams_reckoning]

Nontraditional, but necessary.

I see. And why would that be? I have no business here.

[kittyhell]

Sounds like it...everyone has plans.

Well, you probably won't believe me since everyone's a skeptic at first, but once this duck community gets a hold on you it just doesn't let go. It's very invasive.

[dekillerqueen]

Hmm. I presume this will be no ordinary kidnapping.

[gothams_reckoning]

No, it will not. Nor will it be much of a kidnapping.

[dekillerqueen]

I imagined so.

Welcome to this community. I dislike having to be the one to explain how it works, but it seems I will have to.

[papshooshing]

WHO THE FUCK *PLANS* ON GETTING KIDNAPPED?
UNLESS, OF COURSE, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SEER THINGS.

[gothams_reckoning]

A person who does not plan to be kidnapped for very long.

[papshooshing]

AH HUH.
BECAUSE, IN CONTEXT, THAT ALL MAKES PERFECT SENSE.

[novicius]

...kidnapped? Why?

[gothams_reckoning]

We have something they want. And they believe they can contain us.

[novicius]

Then why be kidnapped in the first place if that is not the case?

[antibadstuff]

Okay, if no one else is going to ask, I will: Do you just have a really mean dental plan or what is that?

[gothams_reckoning]

It is a mask.

[antibadstuff]

I kinda got that much. What's with the mask?

[archicheck]

[alright, so the mask is throwing her off, but there is something oddly familiar about this guy.]

We don't have any control over the community, or who it follows, sorry to say.

[gothams_reckoning]

[Can't imagine what it could be!]

I see. Then who does?

[archicheck]

[I just don't know!]

We don't know. Plenty of people have tried to figure it out, but no luck just yet.

[mightletyouknowme]

Why do you look so weird?!

[gothams_reckoning]

Because I wear a mask.

[mightletyouknowme]

I know that. Why?

[second_star]

[ Ooooh, scary. ]

We are invading your computer boxes, taking all of your plans.

[ video ]

[gothams_reckoning]

And why would anyone wish to do that?

[atadflamboyant]

Oh, my. No, I don't believe that is a fashion I can get behind.

[gothams_reckoning]

You are a man who wears clothes for their style, then.
