[Know that cute blonde girl who is barely wearing anything that you just danced or perhaps talked with? Yeah, her twin brother is now GLARING at you]

2.



[Your plans are coming to fruition, or perhaps have just gone awry! Out of the shadows steps a young man]

Hmph. Such a simple conceit. Did you not think I would see through your schemes?

3.



[FIGHT LOG! Ingway is holding his dagger low, and is nimbly avoiding incoming attacks while not making much of a move to counter.]

Is this all then? You won't defeat me with such paltry movements.

4.



[There is a frog]

...'tis not polite to stare.

It's talking?

[cursed_valentine]

Yes, yes it is, well done. Frankly with that expression I'd be more amazed that you are talking.

[smile_thatkills]

I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
But you got a pretty big mouth for someone so small. And you seem impolite too.

[cursed_valentine]

I would imagine you would be too, stuck in this form.

[smile_thatkills]

Let me guess: You got cursed?

[cursed_valentine]

I tend to see curses as more... inescapable.

No, I was merely enchanted. 'tis my misfortune that the enchantment is proving rather difficult to break.

[smile_thatkills]

Geez, people who wield magic these days. So careless.

[cursed_valentine]

I have noticed a certain lack of care myself, yes.

[wanderingbard]

'Tisn't it?

'Tis any thoughts on poking?

[cursed_valentine]

I'm not especially keen on the idea.

[wanderingbard]

Shame.

Should I try and kiss you? I understand royalty is generally necessary for this kind of thing.

[cursed_valentine]

I appreciate the sentiment, but I require the kiss of an ancient and powerful magic being.

[wanderingbard]

A frog with standards, I see.

If I ever come across any of those, I'll send them your way. Perhaps I'll see what I can do about attain ultimate arcane power just for you.

[cursed_valentine]

'tis unkind of you to make light of my plight.

[wanderingbard]

...You're seriously saying you're a guy trapped in a frog's body?

[cursed_valentine]

Are there many other frogs who can speak with the voice of a man?

[wanderingbard]

Eh. I'm a bard. Communing with nature's one o' those occupational perks. Think I'm supposed to be frolicking right now.

[cursed_valentine]

Ah, of course. I might have guessed from the... spooniness of your demeanor, for lack of better term.

[wanderingbard]

Hey. Bard school values conformity. What can I say?

...So. What the heck's going on with you, then?

[cursed_valentine]

I got in a bit of an argument with a sorcerer of some repute. Seems he is a bit... foul-tempered.

[wanderingbard]

I think you mean... bufo-tempered. Hey, lucky for you, I know a bit of magic, too. Want me to give it a shot?

[fairycourage]

[All the disgusts. Have them, Frogway.]

What's a frog doing telling me what I can and can't do?

[cursed_valentine]

I suppose even fairies can be brave when I am in this... less than inspiring form.

[fairycourage]

[Come up here and say that to her face, Ingway.]

Hmph! I should shoot you with my bow for that! You should feel grateful that I'm in such a good mood, Frog.

[cursed_valentine]

Yes, shooting a lowly frog is the perfect use for a mighty psypher. I suppose I shall have to make it more sporting for you.

[SPLASH! The frog is gone]

[fairycourage]

[Man, see. That's what's wrong with you frogs today. Always trying to stick it to the man. Ruining the neighborhood with your croaking. What is this world coming to, seriously? Too bad this time the man's got an all powerful magic bow. She fires a few bolts into the water in a huff.]

Get back here you... you stupid frog!

[cursed_valentine]

[SPLOOSH OH CRAP WHAT'S THAT BEHIND YOU!?]

Like Donkey Kong

[fairycourage]

[ASDFGHJKL FREAKING--]

Gah!

[ESCAPE FROM ABOVE! ABSCOND! Blam blam blam. It's on now.]

[cursed_valentine]

[The frog is nowhere to be seen!

Wait, is that ribbiting? All around Mercedes? Also, red glowing eyes?]

1! My DW Velvet journal lacks icons, so have the space cowboy for now.

[red_dwarf]

[Jr. waves to Velvet as she leaves, an incredibly goofy smile on his face. It takes him some time before he notices Ingway's glare.]

...You got a problem?

I get to use non-Frog icons!

[cursed_valentine]

And your business with her is...?

I thought you might appreciate that. XD

[red_dwarf]

Do I need any? We were just talking.

Christ, it's like Derek and Sara in reverse.

May I help you, sir?
