Hey, my train trekkers, my main men, my wonderful women, my koo-koo kids, and everyone and everything else in-between! This is Della Duck, reporting to you live from her cabin with a chance to feel super good about yourself! First, a bit of background info. In my world, there's an organization called - drumroll, please - theeeee...

[ She holds up a slightly tattered and worn-out book with several post-it notes on almost every page. ]

Junior Woodchucks! The BEST group ever for kids to learn all the skills under the sun and prepare them for all of life's challenges and beyond! When you accomplished something major, you earned a badge! And, no big surprise, I earned a lot of them when I was that age. And I feel like you all have accomplished SO MUCH! Whether here on the train, back home, or in other worlds we've been to, you've all got a lot to be proud of!

With that in mind, I decided to make you guys the Junior Woodchuck Badges you all deserved! I'll be going all around the train and handing them out! Even if you're a total stranger, I want to hear the things you're proud of! Because there are things we should all feel great about ourselves!

For example!

[ She fishes out some of the badges she's already made, and shows them one by one. ]

The first time you made a campfire! Or, making a new dish that's actually edible! Or putting out someone else's campfire that went wildly out of control! Master of treating injuries, making twenty friends, craftsman extraordinaire... And if what you're proud of doesn't exist in the guidebook, then phooey, I'll make it up myself! BECAUSE YOU ALL NEED TO LOVE YOURSELVES A LOT MORE!

... A-hem. See you around, guys!

[ if you'd like, feel free to go right to Action to meet her all over the train! ]

Couldn't hurt to try! Although you might need to be careful when I play... my kicks can be a little too strong.

[ She says with a wink, before angling the camera to show her metal leg. ]

Hopefully that doesn't count as cheating?

Um. I think that’s okay? I don’t see a problem with it.

Hey, kudos to you not freaking out about it!

As for me, I never had a specialty when it came to soccer. As long as I could kick, I was good!

Why would I freak out about it? It’s just a metal leg...

Kid, I'm liking you more and more with each passing second.

For the last time it's Ken, not kid!

Oof, right, my bad. And twice now.

[ She's got to make it up to him... then nods, making a decision. ]

All right. Here's my way of apology. Ken? I'm about to tell you something I've never told anyone on the train before. I've been here for a long time, but no one knows this. And I'm only going to allow you to say it.

Because you, and only you... will have the knowledge, and permission, to know the nickname I've had since I was young, that always teed me off.

You ready?

... I mean sure, but I'm also pretty sure everyone can hear you on here.

[ She dismisses the fact with a wave of her hand. ]

... Dumbella.

... That's a stupid nickname. Why did you get called that?

Donald said it whenever he thought I was being dumb.

Which, when you're that young, happens a lot.

That's weird. None of my team has ever called me something like that, and they're the closest thing I have to siblings.

... Had.

[It's a little hard to see, but he blushes faintly.]

[ progress!!! ]

Maybe your friends were nicer than my brother.

[ she says teasingly - she does very much love her bro. ]

But! You have my permission to call me that whenever, you and you alone. And honestly, I do have plenty of dumb moments.

Maybe, but they found me fighting monsters, which is a pretty good introduction if you want to be taken seriously.

... It still seems rude, though.

[And not even in an acceptably blunt, rude way. Just mean.]

I can handle it! I'm a big girl now.

... Nut gunna lie, though, meeting friends via monster-bashing is one of my favorite ways to go about pal-making too.

You fight monsters?

[It's less the size thing and more... ma'am, you are a duck. What's going on that you need to fight?]

You bet! Me and my family are life-long adventurers! We travel the world for mysteries to solve and treasure to find!

... What kind of monsters did you fight?

All kinds! Golems, shapeshifters, vampires... you name it, I've probably punched it at least once.

I use a spear and summon my Persona for electrical or light-based attacks. But we pretty much just fight Shadows at home.

Aw, that's so cool! My whole family fought shadows while I was away, that's one of the big things I missed out on.

[ Fighting literal shadows. ]

These are the kind that feed off of human minds and will send someone into a severe depression if they feed enough. I know the name's kind of generic.

Ooooh. Then, no, we didn't fight those. Not yet. Probably any day now.
