Chapter 1
The Merchant of Mischief
Origin Story •Jun 23, 2026
No one remembers who carved the first Duck of Distinction. They only remember the traveler who earned it. In a single evening they reunited lost friends, calmed an argument before it became a fight, returned a missing phone to its owner, and somehow located a chicken tender that several witnesses insisted had vanished forever. Since then, the Duck has appeared whenever someone quietly makes the night better for everyone around them. It has impeccable judgment. Unfortunately... It has absolutely no sense of fashion.
