Froggy Mishaps #1
WHO: Colette, Shinjiro, K-2SO, Cassian Andor
WHAT: The poor giant frog Cassian has been keeping in the SoKaCa house pond since September is demanding Action and the crew wants to help. Yeah. That goes about as well as expected. (Separate video post to follow)
WHEN: Noon
WHERE: Attleton Guardian's office
[It begins normally enough, with Cassian Andor walking into the Guardian's office...
Okay, not so normally, maybe, for he is not only late returning to work after lunch and looking distressed, but also followed by a three foot tall frog who keeps ribbiting at him in a very angry manner. That frog has spent an entire month waiting and hopping around the garden pond, but now it has the croak of a frog who was Done.
Cassian shoots Shinjiro a sharp look, daring him to laugh. The fairy tale book about the frog prince lays on the desk, Cassian had abandoned it here several days ago in exasperation.]
[ Shinjiro looks down at the book, then back at Cassian. He doesn't know about the Frog Problem. All he knows is, after cleaning out all the trash, finding all of the dirty dishes, after sorting through all the paperwork and putting it into orderly stacks, he found this. This book. For children, or something? He remembered the tale, though. it was one of Miki's favorites
He was going to ask what it was doing in the office, but he answers Cassian's question, first. ]
What's gotta end?
... It's not like I'm eatin here. [ Even with as much time as he's spending at the office. ]
[ Cassian gives him a sharp look. ]
Not you.
[He gestures at the frog still standing behind him and prodding him. There is a demanding RIBBIT! ]
This has got to end. I saved it from a trap back in September when we were hunting for that thief in Fayren. I never meant to have it follow me home or follow me everywhere. I still don't know what it wants, the only clue is the book and that's useless.
[ Shinjiro blinks. He remembers the story. Kinda. Well, the most important parts of it.
He also remembers the craziness people talked about from Fayren, and just. Puts a hand to his head, and sighs.
A bit wearily: ]
Y'mean.
The book about a prince, who's turned into a frog, and has to be kissed to turn back into a human again?
That useless story?
[ Cassian sits down, steadfastly ignoring that the frog is now going "ribbit ribbit!" right into his ear and hopping impatiently. He pinches the bridge of his nose. ]
Yes, that one. Come on, I know I've seen a lot in Fayren, I know magic is real, but don't tell me you expect him to be a prince. You're welcome to kiss him if you think that'll fix him!
[ Shinjiro snorts in disbelief. ]
You can't be serious.
People've been turned into incubi. Fairies. Shit like that.
A whole town has been frikken turned into candy.
I'd believe a lot of crazy can happen in this place - but -
[ Glares a bit. He supposed there's nothing he could really do if he was ordered, but. ]
I sure as hell ain't kissin him.
[Until that moment, Kay, with Collette's help, has been focussing on practicing his handwriting skills. But that didn't mean they aren't paying attention to the conversation. From his desk, he looks up at the other two men.]
The noise is starting to become insufferable, why don't you try kissing the frog? Maybe that will get him to shut up. Some of us are trying to study here. [He gestured between Colette and him and then turned to the young lady.] You've heard of that story before?
[Colette shakes her head and bites her lip worriedly.] No, I don’t think that story exists where I’m from. [She looks at the frog, a shy frown gracing her face.] Do you really think that there is a person trapped in there?
[After the Wonderland event Colette wouldn’t be all that surprised. But if there is someone in there, then they have to help them, even if that means…
Just the thought is enough to make her blush.]
I am not kissing it. I am not the one insisting that it would work. [He sighs heavily and fends off the frog who is now trying to headbutt him.]
[He gives the giant frog a thoughtful look.] I’ll admit I have seen stranger things here than people turned into animals… There could very well a trapped person. For all I know a kiss might work. Human transformation calls for some kind magical intervention, at least.
I’m not insistin it’d work, either!
[ Crosses arms. On the one hand, he feels bad that the guy must have been trapped as a frog for ... how many weeks now?
On the other.
Mutters: ]
So, what, are we gonna need to draw straws or somethin?
[continued here in tags, since it got too long for Discord]
