This is the discussion related to the wiki page Entity 288 - "An Operative's Encounter With Two Stupid Ducks".
He walks out of the door into the Duckrooms, ending the page on a cliffhanger for a future page.
The page originally had some code that existed to add a proper ending, but it kinda broke without me noticing, so nobody ever saw it.
And kind of wholesome in a sense?
Anyway, writing isn't the best but it kinds contributes to the ambiance. Short read but fun one. Nice page!
This was a silly story and it was definitely enjoyable, but it feels very… unfinished. Nothing is really clarified. We don’t know what the ducks are, what they want to do with Robert, what the Duckrooms are, or really anything. It’s a nice story but I think it’s lacking in development. I am downvoting for that reason. I hope to see this get further developed.
That's… kinda the point tho. It's supposed to be lacking in development to confuse the reader, but also because:
a): I didn't have a lot of time left in Promptcon to add more stuff to it.
b): I was already planning on writing another page to continue the story anyway, which is still in the idea stage.
c): If I did explain it all in this one page, I felt the article would just lose all its comedic atmosphere and become a boring drag to read.
Thanks for the feedback anyway.
EDIT: I just realized you said this because the page ended on a cliffhanger. That was an accident caused by faulty code.1 It was originally meant to end with this cool code saying what actually happened to the operative. I admit tho, I think the page is better without the ending anyway, as this said ending is very… lazy. It was just finding out that the operative is in a dire situation and is about to die some unknown death.
