[ The screen turns on with some urgency; the city's favorite dog girl looks a little panicked as she speaks. ]

I need someone who knows what to do with a duckling! [ There's a slight crackling sound. ] Because I think I'm about to be a mommy! Or a duck mommy, or what do they even call ducks' mommies anyway ( Read more... )

Female ducks are called hens-- er, why do you have that?

Yosuke and I kind of crushed all the other ones when we resonated, so we took this one home instead and we didn't think it would hatch but now it is!

It looks like you took very good care of it, so I'm not very surprised. Take a few deep breaths, Jade, you'll end up hurting it if you panic.

[Despite his firm tone, he doesn't really know the first thing about baby bird care... that's worrying.]

I know. I'm just really nervous. What if I mess this up?

Harley, what the limp-fronded fuck are you doing this time? I'm honestly sitting over here racking my poor overworked pan trying to come up with a single species so pitiful or unpalatable that you wouldn't carry it home and play lusus with it.

I didn't actually think it would hatch! Yosuke said it would die, but it didn't... [ She's silent for a moment, then... ]

I think I need your help.

If neither of you expected it to live, why did you even go to all the trouble of-- you know what, never mind. Trying to follow the doomed train of thought you and Yosuke consider "logic" is only going to hurt us all in the end. Eventually it's bound to violently derail, flinging concepts left right and center like so many unlucky passengers.

What do you want ME to do about this?

Hey, our logic is just fine, and this was my idea in the first place, to keep the egg!

Also google it! Or deathgle it or whatever it is called!

[...somehow she missed the bit about the ears. But Jade's distress takes precedence, and she sighs a little.]

Do not panic, first. It will be alright. Just... calm down and breathe, alright Jade?

[ She takes a deep breath. ]

Okay. I'm just really nervous. What if I'm a bad mom?

Jade, I do not think 'bad' is a word that can really be associated with you. However, if you would like some help, I can try and come by? Or at least pick up anything you might need.

Could you please come? I don't know what I'm doing at all!

A duckling...

[then after the communicator swings to the egg]

Oh! It is hatching! In that case all you really need to do is wait for the hatchling to come forth from the egg. There is nothing to be worried about, I should think, if it already has a crack in the shell. It shows that it is healthy and simply cannot wait until it can get out.

Pray do not worry, just let nature take its course.

[He then remembers his own hatching for a moment, and then quickly adds:]

However, I would advise for you to have some food for the hatchling ready. Everyone is hungry fresh out of the shell, so I would think it must be the same for a duckling as it would be for a dragonet.

What do they eat? I've never raised a baby duck before...

[video] shendefeng November 29 2011, 17:25:50 UTC
You will have to pardon me, but I do not know what young ducks eat. If it were a dragonet, I could tell you to have some mutton at the ready which can be bought at a market, but ducks only eat plants or vegetables, do they not?

[Or so he thinks. He hasn't particularly minded them before, though he once saw one people feed corn to geese, and they are close enough to ducks.]

I think so. I'll look it up on the internet I guess -- thank you so much for your help...

I think you are supposed to keep it warm. And offer a place for it to swim?

Reply

[video] memorymodus November 29 2011, 05:11:29 UTC
I guess it can swim in the hot tub, if we cool down the temperature...

That sounds like a good idea! And you should pick out a name! Like Kogamo!

What's Kogamo mean?
