General Knowledge Reader: Do You Know Your Origins?
A popular science book about the origins of the imagenae.
As we all know, every imagenae originates from a story. But do you, as an imagenae yourself, truly understand your own origin story? Why don't you follow me and take a look together?
Ploos
The story of how ploos came to be is just as adorable as they are.
Legend has it, it all began with a Masked Fool who had a knack for inventions. This particular Fool found bathing alone to be far too lonely, so they created a bunch of little yellow duckies. These duckies floated carefree on the bathtub's surface, and when you gave them a good squeeze, they'd let out a “ploo” sound. And that's the original story of the ploo.
Later on, another scholar was deep in thought while soaking in their bathtub when they witnessed a rubber ducky bobbing up and down, and had a sudden epiphany about the laws of physics! Because of that scholar's signature catchphrase, ploos are still called “Eureka” in some Planarcadian dialects to this day.
But these little stories weren't enough to bring the ploo into being. What truly established them as a stable imagenae species was an adorable accident. During a freight skiff mishap that caused no casualties, millions of yellow rubber duckies were spilled into the ocean. These little ducks rode the currents on an epic adventure around the entire world of Ahatopia.
After this brave expedition, the “ploo” as we know it today was born. This incident also shaped the core traits of the ploo: adorableness, innocence, and a fearless forward spirit.
