Information[]
Happy Feet[]
Background[]
Mumble is brought to Miami Seaquarium humans after being found collapsed on a beach last night.
While in SeaWorld, Mumble is reffered to as "Dave". he is even called this by his family when he sees them in a vision.
The Penguin Exhibit room appears to resemble the antarctic, but only a small area exists in which to freely roam around. Invisible barriers surround said area.
The penguins living here seem to spend their days in idleness, since all their food, which there is an abundance of, is thrown down to them from an unseen source, and no effort or responsibility is required.
Role[]
When Mumble asks if the place is anywhere near Emperor-Land, another penguin responds that it is "anywhere you want it to be." He then suggests that Mumble try the water, which is described as "really real."
Mumble saw 2 humans up close.
While swimming in the water, Mumble finds himself next to two aliens. Upon discovering that there are, in fact, hundreds of humans watching him, he tries to communicate with them and tell them to stop taking fish from his home. His pleas fail, but only when he loses his voice does he give up and fall into idleness with the other penguins.
Mumble dances once again.
During his three months in Miami Seaquarium, Mumble has given up on trying to talk to the humans, but soon discovers that he can communicate with them via his tap dancing, a skill that seems to excite and intrigue them. Mumble is then taken back home to Emperor-Land with a computer chip on his back.
