D-D-D-Danger, watch behind you...

[viewfromuphere]

It was a nice night for flying. After spending most of her life told that being a Demon was something she should be ashamed of, Rapunzel still felt insecure about taking any form other than her human one - but with help from all the friends she'd been making, she was getting steadily more comfortable with who she was.

And flight was amazing, especially out here. Birchpointe was a little too smoggy and bright, especially for nighttime flying, but now? The air was clear and crisp, and the forested outskirts of Duckburg were quiet below Rapunzel. She weaved through the trees, feeling free as a- Well.

And then an odd sound, accompanied by a flash of light, caught her attention. It came from beyond the forest's edge, and Rapunzel - no longer the frightened young woman she'd once been - hurried over to check it out. It was a good thing she did, though what she saw left her feeling sickened. Unconscious bodies of unfamiliar creatures littered the ground, as men scooped them up, laughing cruelly all the while.

She managed to go unnoticed by those men as she landed by one of the creatures. A deep breath, and she focused her energy on shifting to a different form so she could make a stand - and start healing the little guys. The only problem? She didn't change. It wasn't the first time Rapunzel had been stuck, but it was certainly the worst moment for it. The next things she knew, she'd been picked up along with the creature she stood beside, apparently unnoticed in her very small current state.

And then she was thrown in a cage.

Perdita chuckled, having caught that. "Tell McDuck that I'll be there as soon as I can. And... That I'm sorry I went off on him." She paused, then added, "I can't believe a little twerp like you knows someone so important. I'll see you in a bit, Gobo."

"Scrooge McDuck? Important?" He looked up at the strange snortcough sound that'd caused in the old duck, then he shook his head and turned back to the phone.

"Alright. I'll be waiting here for you, then."

Perdita didn't care who she was seeing besides Gobo. Sure, Scrooge was objectively important, but all that mattered to Perdita was that Gobo was okay. Not making a better impression on the most influential person in town.

It was... Almost the truth, honestly. But she did wear one of her own shirts, for once, as opposed to what Gobo was probably used to seeing her in by now - a shit that was lightly stained at best, and a few sizes too big; taken from Amy's closet.

Scrooge was rich, after all, and the community garden could always use better funding for pest control.

She was lead inside by the butler or... Something to that effect. How would she know, really? Trying to figure it out was forgotten the moment a door was opened and she spotted Gobo, anyway. She ran over to him - nearly tripping over an insane amount of hair; what on earth? - and scooped the Fraggle up so he could sit in her hands, cupped together in front of her face. Once she'd glanced over and seen no signs of major injury, she smiled, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hi."

He'd been anxiously awaiting Perdita's arrival, if only because he wasn't exactly sure how she was going to act. One could never tell with her- look at the way she'd spoken to him on the phone at first -and as such, though sitting with Rapunzel or Scrooge was an option, he spent most of his time pacing.

Once Perdita showed up though, he looked up and visibly brightened, crossing the distance even as she came over herself. She might've only scooped him up, but what he's going to do is throw his arms around her neck, hugging her tight.

"Boy am I glad to see you!"

[logdates]

Perdita couldn't stop the giggle that escaped her at that - nor did she want to. "I'm glad to see you, too, Gobo. You're too good at getting into trouble, you know that?"

She breathed a sigh of relief as she hoisted Gobo up onto her shoulders, and took a proper glance around the room. When she laid eyes on Scrooge, her smile became sheepish. She'd sure made an ass of herself over the phone, after all...

...It was remarkable that even in the presence of someone smaller than her, she still felt completely dwarfed.
