So this thread suddenly made me realize that, due to her... upbringing/surroundings, either Webby is a fantastic shopper... or the marketplace's worst nightmare.
She really does! A combination of being really nice and very sheltered for most of her life, so even the most mundane stuff like riding a bus for the first time GETS HER SO EXCITED
also listening to 'old songs' and found this classic and now i firmly believe if Webby ever found the Robot Unicorn game you'd need the hang of god to pry her off it again
Webby: It was so neat! Uncle Scrooge told me to give them the "puppy-dog eyes" and sniffle while hugging him. It knocked the price down to 20%! Beakly: ... Scrooge: .... Beakly: Scrooge. Scrooge: Will you look at the time, I have rich man things to do - /BOLTS/
Pffffft. The little Scrooge in my head was like "What 22 doesn't know won't hurt me" and I'm just like "It's BEAKLEY. She will KNOW the instant she shows up in Emp"
Webby: I know you think he was using me, but he wasn't! It was an education! Like, did you know that some places won't check your age so you can get discounts just by pretending to be younger than you are? Scrooge calls it "exploiting the youth game!" Scrooge: webby darlin' please stop talking
Scrooge just grabbing Webby, using her as a psuedo-shield because. surely. SURELY. 22 wouldn't enact vengeance in front of webby, right??? Webby: Aw, yay, I love hugs! Scrooge; Good on you, lass, because i don't intend to go let go anytime soon.
lookin' at you, uncswrong Scrooge but I thought that appropriateVery! Thank you!Beakly: ...
Scrooge: ....
Beakly: Scrooge.
Scrooge: Will you look at the time, I have rich man things to do - /BOLTS/
Beakly: what did you do to webby.
Scrooge: ......... /fear-ice coats the entire floor/
Scrooge: webby darlin' please stop talking
Webby: Aw, yay, I love hugs!
Scrooge; Good on you, lass, because i don't intend to go let go anytime soon.
Scrooge: /SWEATING MORE BULLETS THAN THE COLLECTED POLICE FORCE OF THE US OF A/
Yes be afraid Scrooge
