[Webby appears... upside-down? No, adjusting your mirror-phone won't fix it, she's actually like that - she's practicing headstands, and had turned it on so she could talk.]

Hi everyone! I heard we got a bunch of newbies, so if we haven't met, I'm Webby Vanderquack! I've been here a while, so I figured it's time I really took advantage of all the different people here. See, one day, I'm going to be the best adventurer - slash - spy - slash - explorer, and to do that I need to know absolutely everything about everything!

Plus, I like learning stuff. It's fun!

[Now she begins trying to balance on one hand, then goes back to the other hand.]

Back home, just being with my friends taught me all kinds of things! Dewey taught me about sledding, Huey taught me about the Junior Woodchucks, Louie taught me how con free juice, and Lena taught me how to take no prisoners in a pillow fight.

So what I'm asking is, what do you think you can teach me? I'll take lessons on anything! Weaponry, martial arts, cooking, sewing, photography, hacking, fashion, basket-weaving, lion-taming - uh-oh - WHOA -

[In the middle of her list, she lost her balance and fell over right onto her side. Oof.]

... how to identify a concussion...

Oh, that's much better!

[It's almost said like a relief.]

Maybe in your world you get extra ones of those to make up for the lack of curses and traps, and we get less of all that. Trying to make it even without it being exactly equal. Or something like that. I have no idea why the universes are so different.

[And she's getting distracted again.]

[Amelia was torn on how to take that reaction. On the one hand it was certainly peculiar, on the other.... she would have been disappointed herself without some of the danger to add spice to their work. She delighted in ferreting out the criminals and bringing them to justice]

I cannot say with any certainty that the universe tries to uphold some unseen standards of balance like the celestial scales of the constellation Libra- that being said you have touched upon a fascinating subject. Back in my country- for it seems a bit too grand to always refer to it as my world -for instance, the ducks are quite different and are devoid of being capable of human speech. That is but one of many differences between the places of our origin I should think.

Yeah, I've heard that a lot in human-based worlds. In fact, you guys seem to be the majority.

We don't have humans back where I'm from - or at least none that I've seen. Any explorer worth their torches know that just because you haven't seen it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist!
