[Good day to you, Havenwell. It's time for another round of Magolor blowing up your tablets with his energetic presence. Did you miss him? He's as peppy today as ever:]

Hello everyone! It's me, your friend Magolor. Just so you know, I'm making progress on getting some time in the archives and compiling everything we need to pass along to our generous hosts. I'll definitely update everyone once I'm through all that! ♥

But in the meantime, there is another side of things here in our little community. One of the things I realized while talking to all of you last month is that we've all got our own unique skills to offer one another too. Things the natives will never be able to provide us as well as we can provide to one another! But it's impossible to keep track of who's offering what without some kind of resource available about it, so that's why I'm sending all of you this document to share!

No pressure or anything, of course. But if you're looking to make some connections and get your talents out there, you'd be doing yourself and everyone else a big favor by filling it out! ♥

[And after this, a link to a public document, as promised. Useful? Well, we'll see.]



(( This spreadsheet is an IC resource to be filled out ICly by each character! So feel free to contribute to it straightforwardly, sarcastically, or not at all, as your character would prefer. Nothing is stopping anyone from putting in anything they want, including characters filling it out for other characters—but ofc clear it with the other player first if you go that route! ))

What a swell idea, pal! Happy to help out!

[begguiling]

[THUMBS UP INTO THE CAMERA. Goofy's contribution is appreciated for its humor, among other things.]

Thank you, that's sweet of you! You didn't know about the replicators, huh? I've heard there are alllll kinds of things you can buy with Dora here.

[thekingsshield]

Gee, I haven't really been buyin' much of anythin', I guess. Never needed too much munny wherever I am.

[begguiling]

You have simple needs! I admire that about you. People who can be happy with a good nap can be happy anywhere for free.

[thekingsshield]

Guess I've always been that way, even as a kid. Hm - probably just got used to not having much, and that turned into not needin' much!

[does magolor dare to peek at the slightly-sad backstory]

[begguiling]

Is that how it was? I take it you weren't very well off growing up.

[He dares. He dares to peek! He's been curious for a while.]

[thekingsshield]

Aw, it wasn't so bad. Sure, I didn't have a Ma or a Pa, but I had my pals! What more could you need than that?

[begguiling]

I see, so it's like that. I didn't either, but that's not anything out of the ordinary for my kind!

[For as cute and happy a corner of the universe as it is, Kirby World is not really about most characters having any kind of family at all.]

Did something happen?

[thekingsshield]

Something happen?

[His life is full of "somethings" happening! He pus a hand to his chin and tilts his head, mulling the question over.]

Hmmmm... Well... I guess somethin' must've happened for me not to have a Ma or a Pa, but I dunno what. Most of us in the orphanage didn't know what happened to 'em. But since it never mattered, we never really thought about it!

[begguiling]

[Maybe he sprung fully formed from the planet. Magolor would believe it.]

That's a good way to look at it! However things started, you're pretty happy with how they've ended up now, right?

[thekingsshield]

Sure! Makes all the hard work, hunger, muggings, and nearly dyin' a few times really worth it!

[Things not to drop so casually - that.]

[begguiling]

[He gives Goofy a careful, but mild, look through the camera. There are times when Magolor has to wonder if Goofy himself isn't putting up a flawless front, and comments like this are his mask slipping just the tiniest bit for his own entertainment at Magolor's expense. It's surely not true, but all the same, he has to ask himself, just once in a while . . .

Though honestly, if Goofy were playing him, he'd deserve the win. Magolor will take the L. So after that beat, he shrugs and smiles again, seamlessly.]

This place really isn't that bad in comparison, I guess. At least I don't know anyone's ever been mugged here! It's almost suspiciously peaceful.

[thekingsshield]

[Silly Magolor, tricks are for kids.]

Suspiciously? How do you mean?

[begguiling]

It's hard for a world to stay peaceful, you know? I think you do, considering your occupation. Even the most peaceful places rarely stay that way, because peace paints a target on them. It catches the eye of people who would take advantage of it.

[thekingsshield]

... Well, can't argue that none. Even Disney Kingdom's had it's fair share of troublemakers.

[begguiling]

It's an unfortunate truth of the universe. But that's why there are heroes like you to keep those threats in check!

[thekingsshield]

[Aw shucks.]

That's right - there should always be a balance with light and darkness.

[begguiling]

I heard about that kind of thing a little from Aqua too. It's an interesting concept.

[thekingsshield]

Sure is! Even the King had to learn that one, and he knows everything!

[begguiling]

Don't tell me, he was a little too pure-hearted?

[thekingsshield]

A-huh! It wasn't until he made friends with this boy named Riku, who used his darkness for good, that the King could understand.

[begguiling]

Used his darkness for good . . . so how's that work?

[thekingsshield]

Hm, how to put it... Oh!

Think of light and dark like tools! In the right hands, they can fix things up. In the wrong hands, they can hurt folks.

Riku used his darkness to stop bad folks, just like the King used his light to do the same!
