[Yes, it's a talking frog.  In a crown.]

Today, I realized I'd been in the City for six months.  I did not realize there was a curse.  I also accidentally pissed off a wicked witch, and now I'm a frog.

Look, whoever you are, I'm sorry I didn't see

That's not such a great way to spend the day. You haven't tried any... you know. Any of the normal frog-prince-being-a-prince-again things?

[horrible_phd]

You mean like...no. Not so much. My friend Rosella is letting me stay in her bathtub.

But I don't really want to impose on her, so do you think you could come get me?

[horrible_penny]

Oh, sure! It's probably better if you're home at midnight anyway--takes care of that awkward naked-in-someone-else's-bathtub thing.

[horrible_phd]

Wow, I really did not think of that. And the last thing I need with Rosella is more awkward.

[horrible_penny]

What kind of awkward has there been before?

[horrible_phd]

Uh...there was the one curse--sort of like this one, actually, but less Disney, and I may have kind of been under the impression that I was a melodrama villain and may have kind of tried to kidnap her. But I didn't do a very good job.

And then there was that other really weird day--actually, I think it was a whole weekend--when I was a completely different person and ended up kind of hitting on her and she's, like, eighteen.

[horrible_penny]

Yep, that's pretty awkward. Don't worry--I'll rescue you.

[horrible_phd]

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure why she's still my friend other than that she's a very nice person.

Thanks. Way to subvert fairytale stereotypes?

[ooc: Action if you want?]

[horrible_penny]

Maybe because you're a nice person, too? That'd be crazy.

That's right. I'm bringing girl power to the fairy tales.

[ooc: That's fine! I apologize in advance for any slowness on my part.]

[He's there, sitting in the bathtub. One good thing about Rosella being hit hard by the curse is that she's rather busy and out and about, and so has not needed to use this bathroom. For a while he was amusing himself by hopping and splashing, but that got old fast, and now he's back to being grumpy.]

[ooc: quite all right, expect some slowness on my part as well.]

Action

[horrible_penny]

[Penny follows Rosella's directions to her home--specifically, her bathtub, as the door is unlocked. The frog wearing the crown can only be Billy, right? Although who knew how many talking frogs were hanging around the City today.]

Billy?

[It doesn't hurt to check. She doesn't want to walk all the way back to Billy's apartment in her (very cute but decidedly uncomfortable, thank you) princess shoes only to find that she had the wrong frog.]

[ooc: ♥]

Action

[horrible_phd]

Yep, it's me. You look beau--pr--really nice.

[Okay, so his day is slightly better now.]

Action

[horrible_penny]

Good! I was afraid I'd get the wrong tub and the wrong frog--awkward.

[She picked him up out of the bathtub and exited Rosella's apartment. Lucky for Billy he isn't a spider; spiders don't get carried.]
