SCENARIO ONE: THE HONK IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE

Passengers of all sorts end up hitchin’ a ride on Navi, and the latest arrival happens to be one bad-tempered, chaos-causing goose, and it’s making its displeasure at being deposited here known with some very loud, very insistent honks. The honking is intermittent, but it never truly ends for good. You’ll hear it through the walls, outside your cabin doors, on the next floor - everywhere.

After a few hours of this nonsense, Navi reaches out to the passengers via the mental link and asks them to find the source of this infernal noise and round it up so it can be ejected from the ship. It’s driving Navi nuts, they can’t tell where the honking is coming from, so they can’t take care of it themselves. It won’t be easy, because this goose is wily (and an eldritch being, technically), but it needs to be handled. Pair up with a shipmate and round up this feathered menace to be ejected out of the airlock! Just, um, watch your fingers.

SCENARIO TWO: JUMP ON IN, THE WATER’S FINE FOR SWIMMING

Welcome to the planet Umora and its capital, Kupra City! Fun fact about Umora: its surface is 90% water! Luckily for the more terrestrial types, the planet’s inhabitants built most of their cities in sprawling domed underwater structures connected by motorized pipes and tunnels - oxygenated, of course.

Tourism is a big part of what keeps the Kupra City gears turning, so you’ll find plenty of welcoming activities waiting for you to enjoy. Take in the underwater sights in one of the city’s many observation domes! Rent a frog suit and go for a long, relaxing swim - just watch out for the swarms of electrified jellyfish and fields of lava plants! You can even sign up to go on guided treasure-hunting expeditions, if you’re feeling more adventurous. Let loose in a nightclub, or head to the Market District and pick up some underwater steampunk tchotchkes to liven up your cabin.

Just beware - if any of the locals offer to take you out for some underwater cow-tipping, they’re definitely pranking you.

SCENARIO THREE: WE’RE GOIN’ DOWN TO PILLOWTOWN

Traveling through the multiverse can get tiring - wouldn’t you like a nice, relaxing vacation from your (accidental) vacation? Of course you would! Luckily, the planet where Navi is currently docked features a new establishment called Fort Pillowtown, the ultimate chillaxing experience.

As the name suggests, Fort Pillowtown is a large indoor space filled wall to wall with permanent pillowforts. There are a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors, with each individual fort constructed of gauzy hanging sheets, strings of soft lights, warm blankets, plush toys, a mini television with on-screen menu for choosing movies to watch and video games to play, and yes, lots and lots of pillows. Snacks and drinks of all sorts are available for purchase, as are whimsical onesies and comfy slippers to wear. Board and card game sets are also available to borrow or buy.

Grab some friends or make new friends with strangers in your pillowfort of choice! And remember - sharing is caring, so don’t hog all of the popcorn.

"If that is whatever the actual ****s is making all this **** noise, then yes." She stopped for a moment, as old instincts replaced modern common sense. "Do you know how to cook goose?" she was practical when she needed to be. But thought caught up a moment later and she swore. Emphatically. "Then again with my **** luck it is sentient, powerful and about to hand us our ****s." You didn't need to be a mind reader to see that she was now pretty sure that was actually going to happen. It was written all over her face.

"Well, there's two of us now, and only one of it, maybe we'll have a chance," Bucky suggests, torn between amused at all the swearing, and exhausted at the idea of having to negotiate with a goddamn goose. "And if it's intelligent, maybe it'll agree to shut the fuck up."

"If it is intelligent asking it might just make it a **** of a lot louder. Asking my housemates to shut the ****s up never did me much good, and in theory they actually liked me. At least some of the time."

Well. Okay, point. Sounds like something Steve or Sam would do. ... sounds like something Bucky would do. "Guess we'll just have to hope the goose is stupid, then, and we can roast it." He knows how to roast birds over actual fires, thanks to the war. It can't be that much harder to do it in an actual kitchen, can it?

She grew up eating literal garbage. She's not going to complain if they burn it.

"Works for me. At least then we'll get some **** dinner." She might have gotten spoiled. Something she never would have thought was possible. She drew a dagger then scowled and sheathed it. "Of course I left the ones weighted for throwing in my **** room." she growled under her breath and her swear words had a distinctly throaty sound. She shook her head. "So never killed a goose, didn't have many of them back in Elantra. How do we do this if it is something we can actually kill?"

"How big can it be? It's a goose. We throw something at it, distract it, and then I tackle it and break its neck. Anyway, I live by the rule that any knife can be weighted for throwing if you throw it well enough," Bucky says, and pulls his own, gives it a little twirl to catch it by the blade tip, and offers to her hilt first. "Trade you. This one's made to be thrown, too, and I bet I can make yours work if I have to."

"Every knife can be, but these are enchanted and I'm not risking losing the **** things. Again. I will take that though," she said, holding a hand out for the hilt. "If you've got it to spare without the trade. It survives I'll give it back after."

"As long as you don't try to jab it into concrete or metal, it'll survive." He's slightly less happy about handing it over if she isn't giving hers over, in its place, but he does have a metal arm. And a second knife stashed in his boot. He adds, "Or if this goose can open portals into space, or something."

Her grin was closer to a grimace. "You clearly haven't seen some of the **** I've fought if you think opening a portal is the worst **** thing it can do." She snorted, which oddly was translated as a mild swear word. Her grip tightened around his blade, then loosened again to be ready for throwing.

"No, just the most likely thing to make you lose my knife," Bucky says. Though, admittedly, he hasn't dealt with a lot of magic before. Aliens, sure. Maybe a magic goose could melt the knife...? Turn it into a pencil?

Ugh, let's not think too hard about it. With luck, it'll be a perfectly normal, if very loud, goose... and if it's not, trying to guess what it might be will only distract from dealing with what it is.

There's another piercing HONK from the stairwell down to the next level, and he doesn't wince, but he does pause, glancing at his companion, jerking his head that direction and pointing to himself. Let him go first, okay lady?

She looked like she was about to argue. It was all over her face. But she scowled and nodded. "If you're pulling that and you're not immortal I'm kicking your *** after," she told him. But at least that sounded more like griping at a peer than an actual threat.

She was used to immortals shoving her back because she's mortal. Never mind she's Chosen, whatever the ****s that means. But what Dragons just barely get away with, she isn't so keen on letting random other humans get away with. And she had been, till that point, pretty sure he was human. He sure as ***** wasn't Barrani. Build was almost right for Dragon in human form, but the eyes were wrong. He didn't seem to be a Shadow. Or an Avatar. So that left Mortal, Ancient, or a new unknown.

Which basically meant she was hoping to kick his *** later, because otherwise she was in deep ****. Again.

"Nothing's managed to kill me yet," Bucky says, more grim than proud. A lot of things have tried. And he's pretty sure he'll come back from anything short of decapitation. He edges to the stairwell door, and it slides open obligingly for them.

Sure enough, what waddles out into the hall is… a goose. A big goose, to be sure, but a goose. "HONK."

Bucky kind of stares at it for a second. He kind of feels like he expected something less banal. "Uh. Hi. Can you talk?"

She chuckled, but it was on the grim side as well. "Nothing's killed me yet either, and not for lack of trying. Still mortal however." She was pretty sure she was, anyway.

She stopped behind him and stared at the bird. "What the actual ****s?"

She.. was honestly expecting something big and shadowy with extra things... like too many limbs or eyes.....
