[Once upon a time, there was a beautiful baby girl.

She was beloved by all. There were seven fairy godmothers who presented the infant with a gift. Offering beauty, wit, grace, dance, song, and music to the baby girl, all of those had been wonderful gifts. However one bad witch – who was still angry at being overlooked – presented the infant with her own gift. Placing the infant under an enchantment, the princess would prick her hand on a spindle and eventually die. Luckily one fairy still had her gift, using it to save the infant. However even with her gift to save the infant, the princess would fall into a deep sleep for 100 years; The only way to save the princess was true love’s kiss.

Will such a time come? Or will the princess be doomed to sleep for a century?

If you know Duck, you might notice how she's been missing for a while. It wasn't until she seemed to be dropped out of no where when her journal turned on. It tumbled around until you saw a little bit of her and mostly the scenery around her. She didn't seem to budge much, but all around there were a lot of trees and flowers here and there. Being left in the forest by the Malnosso, she didn't seem to budge at all.

Every now and then you saw animals go by here and there, but Duck never moved an inch. It wasn't much longer until the journal simply shut off on it's own.]

[OOC: For those who haven't noticed my absence, Duck has been mallynapped and won't wake until her "prince charming" shows up to wake her up. This is meant to be backdated maybe to the first, so I apologize for how late this post is. Feel free to search for her and find her in the forest.]

{This entry concerns her and she leaves her home at a quick stride. She keeps her journal with her, trying to assess where Duck is slumbering. (Etro, she hopes she is slumbering!) After a short search, she comes upon the girl and kneels down, gently touching her shoulder.}

It's time to wake. {Her voice is gentle, but firm.} I will carry you to the village otherwise.

{For medical help, most likely. This isn't normal...is it?}

{Action}; Heyy <3

[clumsyduck]

[Unfortunately for her, Duck doesn't seem to be budging an inch. Duck hadn't been mallynapped before this, but she had heard about it. She'd also seen her two best friends get mallynapped before. She had no idea how she was or what happened, but whatever the case, she was sound asleep.]

{Action}; :3 I promised <333

[strikeoflightning]

{Great. Lightning eases her arms under the girl and lifts her up. Duck is incredibly light, so it's no strain whatsoever for her to be carried.}

I won't leave you behind.

{Action}; Perfect <3333

[clumsyduck]

[She would probably flail at anybody picking her up and carrying her had she been awake. But instead she subconsciously adjust herself in her arms to curl up against her.]

{Action}; She's so cute. <3

[strikeoflightning]

{Even someone as tough as Lightning can't help but hold her a little more securely. Memories of holding her younger sister in much the same way fill her mind and she suppresses a sigh. It won't do her any good to dwell and this girl needs help.}

I'm not sure you can hear me. {She brushes some hair out of Duck's face.} I'm taking you to the village. Someone will recognize you.

[Mytho is wandering randomly when he comes across her, and he peers down at her.]

Duck...?

What are you doing? [He asks with a sense of pure curiosity.]

[clumsyduck]

[Meanwhile, Duck doesn't seem to budge and move an inch. Instead, she's in a deep slumber.]

[soheartless]

[Mytho leans over her.]

I don't understand.

[clumsyduck]

[Sorry Mytho, she still doesn't seem to move.]

[ Voice ]

[rashness]

Oi... Oi, Duck.

[ that's Duck, right. That's the forest, right...

Moro's gone, right... ]

[ Voice ]

[clumsyduck]

[Nothing seems to come from her end besides maybe rustling around and the sounds around her with the forest.]

[ Voice ]

[rashness]

Duck...?

[ Might as well. Try one more time... ]

[ Voice ]

[clumsyduck]

[Just like before, nothing really happens before her journal abruptly shuts off again.]

[Action in town]

[theideaguy]

[It's an ordinary day, and Sokka is wandering about the town. And somewhere in town, Sokka comes across a sleeping girl just lying somewhere outside. Sokka has a tune in his head and is enjoying the day, almost missing the girl sleeping there, until he pauses in place, quickly looks to the sleeping Duck, and then double takes.

He looks at her oddly and tiptoes over toward her. Ordinarily, Sokka wouldn't have paid too much mind to someone sleeping outdoors; after all, Team Avatar had done so quite regularly in their ways. However there were plenty of beds to be had and rooms to be taken, and this guy preferred to sleep on a nice fluffy mattress than a hard rock any day of the week.

Maybe she was ill? Sick? She could be taking a nap?

Sokka looks into her still closed eyes and then waves a hand in front of them, as if to verify the fact.]

Uh, hello, girl? You okay?

Re: [Action in town]

[clumsyduck]

[This wasn't exactly where she would usually sleep, but there she was, sleeping on a bench. She would have answered if she wasn't in a deep sleep.]

[Action in town]

[theideaguy]

[Well, Sokka would hope that that would be obvious. Not many people would just sleep outside unless they were on an adventure or being chased by the Fire Nation by choice. At least on purpose.

Sokka shakes the girl a little bit when she doesn't respond, gently at first then a little more aggressively. Her being asleep here probably wasn't something she intended, so he's going to try to wake her up.]

Hey, y... you, wake up! You should go home and sleep.

Re: [Action in town]

[clumsyduck]

[There was that too..

Even with him trying harder, she sitll didn't even budge an inch (on her own). She was clearly breathing just fine while sleeping, but over all unresponsive.]

[Sheena's home when Duck finally finds her way back to the house. It always feels empty when she is in it by herself, but she gets used to it faster every time; to see Duck come through the front door is more of a surprise than it should be.]

Hey. You're back. [She's not sure how to approach 'coming back from a kidnapping' with Duck, so she keeps her distance for now.]

[action]

[clumsyduck]

[Coming back home after waking up was sort of surreal. She felt bad for worrying people. She figured that Sheena was probably worried that she randomly disappeared for a good time. With no recollection of how she woke up or even what happened, she just hoped that the others were okay. Seeing Sheena, she nodded.]

Yeah. I'm sorry that I disappeared.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Don't worry about it. It happens to almost everybody. You feel okay, right?

[She remembers a time when kidnappings always left the returning person in trouble, but Duck looks okay.]

[action]

[clumsyduck]

Yeah... I'm just... drowsy.

[untrueheart]

[In recent weeks, Rue's barely spoken to Duck - really, to anyone who isn't Mytho - keeping to herself and her losses instead. It's so easy to find sadness and despair and nest in them.

When Duck went missing, though, it became a new story, and Rue made a quiet habit of poking around her usual haunts every day or so, just in case. Of course when she comes back she doesn't appear in any of those places. Rue finds her much later, nearer to evening...probably on accident, as she makes her way home from practicing in the barracks.]

...Duck?

[clumsyduck]

[Duck had finally woken up and taken it upon herself to go and take a walk. She was trying to loosen up and get the feel of actually being awake again. With sleeping as long as she did, she was feeling drowsy.

Noticing Rue, she glance up.]

Oh! Rue!

[untrueheart]

Where have you been?

[Was she avoiding her? Did she know, about Mytho, about what was happening to him?]

[clumsyduck]

I've been... [Where has she been...?] Apparently.. I've been in a malnosso enhanced slumber...
