christmas eve

[Sometime in the dead of night (unless Penguin has those motion detector cameras, god Dick hates those) a long thin parcel is left propped up against the door.

Taped to it, a note:

Press the button.

Don't point it at your face when you press the button.

It'll work twice a day, once in each direction. Hold on tight.

D. Grayson.


Inside: a black and white striped umbrella with a silver (looking) handle, shaped like a curved penguin's head. He's made this himself, being still mostly broke, by doing a little freelance mechanic work in return for use of the equipment.

There are two buttons on the handle.

One, with a picture of an umbrella, does what you'd expect: it opens it.

The other has two arrows, up and down. Press it once and it'll generate enough lift to carry Oswald out of harm's way to a relatively low rooftop. Press twice and it's a gentle drift back down.

How some himbo 1 percenter came up with this is anyone's guess. Maybe it was a lucky find at the dollar store.]
