[The sound of a deep, muffled voice begins speaking as if addressing a large room:]

There has been a rather disturbing lack of cooperation in all of my political science classes. The lack of debate and the apathy towards the state of the world has been very disappointing.

As a result: all political science students must turn in an assignment in a week's time.

The assignment is: Why Democracy Is a Lie, and Why All Governments Are Unjust Tools of the Elite Used to Destroy the Working Man.

All papers must reference at least one government-related atrocity and use statistic to estimate how many have perished at the hands of their government of choice.

[And suddenly Darcy's voice pipes up.]

Woah, woah, woah. Should we give them something a little more open ended? And less...depressing? We want them writing papers, not spiraling into a fit of depression.

What about a paper on Obama vs Romney? They can defend one candidate.

[There is a low, muffled sigh of frustration before Bane adds:]

Or a paper about Romney or Obama. Either is fine.

So guys. Galaga is a pretty amazing game.

Just saying.

Still no word on the sequel yet. Totally bummed I'm missing out on the Avengers fun! The TV show is keeping me pretty busy. Expect to see me lurking around set from time to time, though. Especially around a certain Star-Spangled Man. How can I resist after that post about the costume?

[Locked from Steve]

I will pay someone for pics before I get there. Seriously.

Okay. So...apparently Loki isn't quite as dead as we all thought he was? I mean, I know it was a virus, but it was like a virus post all about him. From his account. The community hasn't done that with a dead person before, has it?

I don't know. I guess this is just a general "how are we feeling about this latest development?" post. Did anyone know he was around or is this new to everyone?

[she's worried about certain people, okay?]

[Darcy looks downright triumphant as she turns the camera on today.]

Guess what I got in the mail today!

What? No guesses?

None at all?

Well, I guess I'll just have to show you then.

[Proudly, she lifts up an ornate piece of paper. It is a graduation diploma with Darcy's name boldly printed at the center.]

That's right duckies! I have officially graduated. With honors, in case you were wondering.

Now I just need to get a permanent job. Haaa. Wish me luck!

[There’s the sound of a car engine purring before a male voice can be hear over the noise.]

I hope you enjoyed the ride as much as I did, Taseress. [For those who talked to the giant robot before, it would be easy to tell it’s Knock Out. For those who haven't, it just might sound like Darcy got lucky.]

Was I too rough? [Speed. He likes that.] I get a bit carried away sometimes.

[And now Darcy's familiar voice speaks up. It's a bit shaky from the intense drive.] No, it was perfect. Just what I needed to blow off some steam. We should do it again sometime.

Of course.

[And the sound abruptly cuts off.]

[To the untrained eye, Darcy looks mildly annoyed. There's more to it than that, but she's sure not going into it.]

I could use a drink right now. Anyone else?

[She frowns as she moves to turn off the camera.]

Didn't even get any cool wings...

Okay guys. I've got something serious to talk about today. Shocking, I know.

For any of you out there who are friends with Steve Rogers there's something you should probably know. He's from the same world as me, but from the past. He's basically a living legend here but the history books have him suddenly disappearing one day.

The public doesn't know the details, probably some government cover-up, but I can only guess something bad happened.

Given that he's got a lot of friends here, I figure none of you want to see the big guy go. With all of the crazy powers and worldhops and whatever that we've got here at the community, there's got to be some way to help him out. I've already talked to this Rory guy and he's all for helping. Anyone else in?

[So the account name says this post is from Darcy, and yet clearly it is Fandral standing in front of the computer. He doesn't look the least bit amused, either.]

Now I did say it would be cool to see Asgard, but this isn't really the way I had in mind.

Like. At all.

[Yes. This is Darcy in Fandral's body.]

I'm guessing this is a virus, right? [She raises his hand to his chin, and then has a sudden realization!]

Oh my god. I have a beard. And a mustache even! [She strokes the beard much like a evil genius might.] Okay. This part I can deal with. [She twirls the mustache and fakes an evil laugh.]

Mwahahahaha!

[The video clicks on a reveals a very sneaky looking Darcy. She holds a finger to her lips, indicating no one talk for a second. Then from the side she pulls out a box of Poptarts (Strawberry flavored for those interested). She raises the box into the air and SHAKES IT.

In a matter of seconds, Thor appears into view.]

You called?

[Darcy now has a satisfied smile on her face.]

Oh, no. Just testing something. But while you're here, we've planned another movie night at Elektra's on Friday.

[ooc: inspired by this.

Hey, Buffy, Kurt!

I'm thinking we need to do something for Steve. You know, just because. Thoughts?

[The video clicks on to reveal a very giddy looking Darcy.]

Hello everyone! I have someone to introduce you to. [She pauses and leans down next to her. In a second she sits back up, this time holding a teacup pig in her arms.]

I want you all to meet Mister Oinkums! [Mister Oinkums snorts softly and nudges the crook of her elbow. HE IS BEING ADORABLE AND CUDDLY, OKAY?] Thor was thinking of eating him the other day, and after saving him I just couldn't leave him in that pet store.

Say hello, Mister Oinkums! [She waves his front hoof for him, smiling like a madwoman.]

[Action]

[So Darcy's just chilling with Mister Oinkums at the table while munching on some chips and browsing on her phone. Care to notice the new mascot?]

Alright everyone! Jane has assigned me to virus data collection and it looks to me like we're in the middle of one, right in time for Valentine's Day.

Here's what I need to know:

Who received a cupcake?

Did you eat said cupcake?

What were the results of eating or not eating the cupcake?

Just leave a comment here and I'll take note of everyone's response.











P.S. I just thought I should let everyone know I had a date with a robot and he totally got me these badass taser knuckles. Tazer knuckles. Best Valentine's Ever.

[ooc: Darcy did not receive a cupcake, so no random lovin' from her this time.]

I've spent a few days scrolling through past posts in the community and I'm really surprised no one has ever thought of this before. Unless someone deleted the post or something, which I guess is possible...

But anyway! I had a pretty brilliant idea, if I do say so myself. And I do!

DRAMADRAMADUCK BUCKET LISTS

For those of you unaware of what a bucket list is; basically it's a list of things you want to do before you "kick the bucket". With all the different worlds and people with magical abilities, advanced technology, and so on there a lot of things you could add to a bucket list.

If you want an example here's mine (A work in progress, of course)

So what's on your DDD Bucket List?

[Darcy seems to be squinting at the screen, observing the unknown website before her.]

Drama…drama…duck? Oh hey! It’s that duck place that Jane keeps going on about!

Ha! It’s even recording me without my permission like she said it did. Not very cool, duck place. Not very cool.

We’re already off to a rough start, but I guess I should introduce myself. I’m Darcy. I’ve seen the charts that Jane’s written up about those virus things. Do all of those things really happen? I’m pretty bummed that I missed out on that beach party. Sounded like fun.

Oh! But more importantly! Maybe even the most important!

[She leans in close.] Is it true that there are really robots and pirates here?
