Title: Darkke Duck has been Ducknapped!
Post by: Zaubon on September 03, 2008, 12:59:21 PM
I recieved the following note today.

(http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc86/Zaubon/Wehavetheduck.jpg)

If anyone can help us come up with the money for the ransom we would greatly appreciate it. The empire's coffers are already strained, and this demand far exceeds what remains within them.

I have of course informed the DBI who says again that "Inquiries are proceeding."

I can't believe this! What cowards, let the guard find them! I wonder if they will take Loki or rum, we may be able to get more donations that way.

*steps up to the microphone and blinks a bit when the cameras flash*

I can't tell you the the madness that has over taken the empire.   Our Empress is looking paler and paler everyday without Darkke, she's nearly whiter than me now!  This Ducknapping has thrown off all my social schedules for the Empire and I don't like my schedules to be thrown off.  I can assure you that the Empire is working diligently to find Darkke.  Any persons of interest are being put through a through questioning.  My whipping arm has never seen this much action.  Once again I must stress that the Empress is doing everything within her power to find Darkke and we are asking anyone with any information should come and speak with someone from the Empire without delay.  Thank you, that will be all.

I have a pet theory... that maybe Rummie was stolen by someone who didn't believe he would go with them if they didn't win the loki challenge.
Perhaps the contest entrants should be checked into, starting with those who were last near to Rummie.
That would be... hmmm
Blue... Jess... and... well.. that's about it isn't it
short list to check, but a worthwhile thought

*Expecting to hear a ransom idea of rum or loki soon...*

I don't think that it would be of any use to check Lady Jessica and myself. The Empress loves the Captain of her Guard very dearly. Why would I hurt my own minions? What kind of Empress would that make me? You can obviously tell that the crazy mundane had *some* sort of role in this ducknapping. You can tell by her qild eyes and odd hairstyle. We're searching her out as we speak, and will report when said perp is apprehended.

*lights another 500 candles for Darkke's return*

I agree with you, Blue. Sounds like an inside job. My flogger is at the ready when Lady Jessica's arm grows too weary.

I'm telling you.. track down that crazy typewriter and you'll find the ducknappers. 

If this goes on much longer, we may have to call in Harry Crumb to investigate this for us.

It looks like he's being held in a dungeon. I don't know of any in Houston, maybe a few basements in the Brays Bayou area. I hope he isn't found like the other guy in the picture.

Puhlease, bonus points my arse!

My fave part of that movie is the scene in the spa, with the mud all over the place, and the fake hair falling off his chest and into her no no places...

Whoever ducknapped our friend Darkke, I'll be the willing and very capable executioner. All I need to remember with the jumper cables is that red is positive, black is negative, and make sure his something-or-other is wet. After that, maybe a very hot fire, but I'm occasionally more creative.

Muahahahahaha!!!!!

I have recieved another note. Folks this is looking bad. Please do everything you can to help the DBI rescue our beloved Captain!

Empress, we have the utmost trust in your ability to catch this ducknapper and bring them to justice, saving our beloved Darkke Duck.

Indeed, it appears the Shire is Game for a hero to being an end to the fowl Mallard Malady of Malice.

Post by: PurpleDragon on September 05, 2008, 04:16:43 PM
Let us not befowl this situation with such puns.  WE must not DUCK the issue at hand.  This Malady against the mallard really would make a Drake upset.  WE must make sure the gander over every inch of the shire and not overlook the proverbial goose that might lay the golden egg that could crack this case.  Though, I hear tale there is a Bunny Rabbit that has it in for a certain little black duck...

Um, the Empress is officially confused. I don't know who "Drake" is, but DARKKE (pronounced Dahr-kee) must be suffering immensely. He's used to having treats of rum and loki twice a day!

Not sure if this will help, but there has been a large increase in google searches for "Roasted Darkke Duck Recipes" coming from the Houston area over the past week.

This fowl perpetrator needs to be plucked as fast as possible, before they take the final step and convert our beloved Captain of the Guard to entree of the day.

You people are sick!!!

Wait a minute.....I'm a member of that persuasion.

Gimme the ducknapper, a sturdy chair, a roll of "duck" tape, jumper cables and battery, Skil saw, hot iron, and a few witnesses to confirm my thorough questioning of said ducknapper!!!! Darkke WILL be found!

No cameras, please, it might be too graphic for the kids.......

Post by: Zaubon on September 08, 2008, 04:08:25 PM
More dreaful news has arrived! No one has come forward to help pay the ransom. The DBI say that if we pay the ransom we just encourage the dastardly ducknappers and guarantee Darkke's demise. Other than that then just say inquiries are proceeding.
On top of all this sorrow, another note comes from the ducknappers!

COWARDS, hiding their faces as if they are ashamed to look a man in the eye when they attempt to take his life.  Screw the DBI, someone must pay the ransom and get Darkke back home safely.

Nope, I said SOMEONE, and I'm a NOBODY (because nobodies perfect) so therefore I cannot be someone that pays the ransom

There has been no note today.
When I came out to the porch this morning, this was in the middle.

The DBI is being no help with their proceeding inquiries. Can no one save our Captain?
Title: Re: Darkke Duck has been Ducknapped!
Post by: MacLaren on September 09, 2008, 09:50:53 AM
Okay, that's it!

Someone offer the ransom, let's ambush the bastards cut their horns off!!!

Post by: Zaubon on September 18, 2008, 08:46:05 AM
The scoundrels have left another of their grisly reminders! But at least we know that our beloved Captain still lives!
The DBI has all evacuated  to Patagonia and left a message on the answering machine that DEMA (Duck Emergency Managment Administration) was taking over the investigation since the region is now a disaster area.

Have you tried San Antonio?  It's possible the ducknappers caught a bus with the Galveston evacuees.

An excellent idea!
I understand that there are a lot of miscreants in that area so the dastardly ducknappers could blend in easily.
Now, if only we can find a reputable resource to investigate that den of iniquity?
Title: Re: Darkke Duck has been Ducknapped!
Post by: KeeperoftheBar on September 19, 2008, 06:54:44 AM
I do not believe that the ducknappers left the area for fear of not receiving their ill gotten booty.  I suspect they are one of those people who refused to evacuate before the storm.  Darkke is probably chained somewhere in the ruins in neck deep water. (Which should not bother him too much being a duck after all)
Title: Re: Darkke Duck has been Ducknapped!
Post by: Lady Ann of Draycott on September 25, 2008, 09:11:01 AM
Any more news about Darkke Duck?  ???

Has anyone heard anymore from the ducknappers?

What about DEMA?  Have they uncovered anything yet?

Title: Re: Darkke Duck has been Ducknapped!
Post by: Blue66669 on September 25, 2008, 09:19:20 AM
You know DEMA, it takes them FOREVER to get anything done properly.
Title: Re: Darkke Duck has been Ducknapped!
Post by: Grov on September 27, 2008, 02:27:42 PM
Perhaps it would be best to not await the crutch of DEMA and do for ourselves.  Let's search every bar and pub for any sign of the innocent victim, Darkke Duck.

Rummy Duck now resides with myself and the Lovely Lady Trinn
In a daring last minute escape, he made the trip home with us after the Loki challenge
Darkke was renamed as per the rules decided on long ago

*He now resides happily in the kitchen, next to the wine bottles and overlooking the rum supply*

Somehow he seems so much safer in San Antonio, but while it appears safer, I don't see tales of his adventures like he had all last summer.
Has he become truly domesticated now? Will he no longer be seen cavorting in the pool with slender fashon models? and others of questionable morals?
It seems such a boring life after what he had as Captain of the Empress' Guard.

He lived a long and full life here with the Empress- all the best parties, all the hottest people, A list all the way...

Now he sits watching rum bottles...

Poor duck.

Ah yes... life here is boring
No party last weekend (Oh wait... yes there was)
No Gathering the weekend before (Oh... wait... yeah that too)
No multiple trips to faire (wrong again... )
No interesting people (well... except for the leaders of Chaos, PoP, Gnomies, Winners of Loki challenges etc etc)
No upcoming parties (NYE, Bdays, Gatherings... hmmm... wait we have those)

Strange how those in other tamer realms think ours to be quiet and safe...

*Yeah... it's boring here as Guardian of the Rum*
