Froggy went a-courtin'

[espritdecorpse]

Who: Wei Wuxian and frogs
What: Frog Quest
When: Throughout January
Where: All through Chroma
Warning: Wei Wuxian’s thirst

Note: if you’d like your character to get kissed, please first shoot me a pm or pp at tinuvielberen. Ribbit!

[ He’d been puzzled by the frog-kissing quest at first, but a bit of time in the library answered at least some of his questions regarding frogs and fairy tales. When you kiss a frog, they transform into a handsome prince. Or princess. Obviously if he’s the one doing the kissing, the frog ought to transform into a princess. Faultless logic. Thus, full of boundless optimism and high spirits, he ventures out into town to find and rescue some amphibious friends. ]

[ This frog. It's clearly skittish. Maidenly, one could say. He has a good feeling about this one! That's right, there's no doubt in his mind about it!

He approaches the well slowly, crouching down and putting his hands out. It's probably best if the frog comes to him, if it's really that agitated. ]

[ A familiar face! Jion backs off with a nervous ribbit at first when he first feels footsteps approaching. But as soon as he looks up and recognizes it as Wei Wuxian, he gives a slightly louder ribbit and hops forward; his movements are a little clumsy, but he still manages to crawl his way onto those outstretched hands.

Maybe he knows some way to undo this and turn him back? Wei knows about magic, after all! Surely, his teacher won't let him down! ]

[espritdecorpse]

[ He lifts the frog up, smiling tenderly at it. ]

There you go, that's right. No need to be frightened. I'm going to fix this for you right away. Try not to be too embarrassed. I'm sorry if it's your first time.

[ At this point, he can be considered a veteran frog-kisser; however, given how timorous the frog had seemed, he'll give this gentle maiden a moment to mentally prepare. Because surely she's read about the quests and knows what's going to happen next. ]

[organfarm]

[ He sits back calmly enough after a moment, giving a blink of his big froggy eyes. Yes, he knew it! Wei Wuxian can fix this! And he sounds so confident about it, this is going to be so easy, it'll be great!

... so why does he get such a bad feeling about this. Wei Wuxian says 'first time,' and Jion makes a weird little squeaking noise.

Wait. Wait a sec. He isn't going to ......... is he? ]

[espritdecorpse]

[ Ah, how nice. His silver tongue and expert seduction skills have calmed this little creature down right away. Although he does notice that squeak. Oh dear, this really is the poor girl's first kiss.

He knows that if he draws this out any longer, she'll just end up being embarrassed. So, eyes half-lidded and lips puckered, he leans in. ]

[organfarm]

[ Oh god, he is going to do it.

Jion has about half a second between that realization, and when Wei Wuxian leans in, and that's nowhere near enough time for him to try and scramble back. Which means that kiss lands squarely on his little froggy snoot.

It's thankfully (?) not his first kiss, if only because he's performed CPR a few times before. But that doesn't make it any less jarring. Especially because, the next moment, there's a poof of smoke and Jion's suddenly back to his usual bulk, no doubt bringing the both of them crashing to the ground.

Also, he's naked. ]

[ As a Veteran Frog Kisser^TM he knows how this goes, so he's able to smoothly step back, so as not to be carried down when this sweet maiden poofs back into existence. She falls, but that's okay. He'll help her up again, like a gentleman. He extends his hand, gazing down at her ... ]

[espritdecorpse]

[ .......that..............sure is a lot of skin........................... ]

[espritdecorpse]

[ THAT'S NOT A LADY! ]

GAH!

[organfarm]

[ Jion promptly goes red all the way up to his ears, looking mortified. ]

-- sorry! [ His voice may or may not be cracking a bit from the embarrassment. ] I didn't realize that's what you were gonna do, I thought you had ... other magic. Or something. To fix this.

[ He frantically tries to sit in a way that covers himself a little. He's also trying to hide the huge autopsy scar down his chest with his hands, but that's really not a fight he's going to win. ]

... sorry, d'you have anything to wear I can borrow? [ Modesty aside, it's also pretty cold. ] Just for a bit. My clothes fell off when I, uh, got transformed, so I gotta go find them.

[espritdecorpse]

[ It takes him a second, but he recovers. He pulls off his jacket even before Jion asks, and hands it to him to cover up. It's an unfortunate hot pink color (quest reward, brand new, nice and warm), but better than nothing. Obviously it's not enough to cover Jion's bulk, so he straight away strips off his black silk outer robes and tosses them over also. ]

What, you didn't like the magic I used? Hahaha!

[ He winks. ]

Don't worry, don't worry! Stay here, I'll find your clothes for you. Do you remember where you were when you transformed? Just point me in the direction, you can't have got far.

[organfarm]

[ He accepts the clothes promptly and gratefully, immediately draping the robes over his shoulders; he'd put his arms through the sleeves, but he doesn't want to risk ripping any seams. ]

Um, I mean. I don't really mind, I guess? But you, uh. Sounded pretty grossed out. That can't have been fun, kissing a frog.

[ He makes a bit of a face as he gets to his feet, trying to arrange the jacket so it covers him a bit more. ]

I wasn't far from my home when I got turned, I think. So in Flavo. Probably. Um, I'll go with you. [ His face is still red as he mumbles, ] I mean, I don't want anyone to just, like. Stumble on me when I'm like this, nobody needs to see that.

[espritdecorpse]

I was just surprised! That someone as big as you could be such a tiny frog ahahhaha!

[ He's all in white now (the color of his inner robes), quite the contrast from how he usually looks. It's chilly, so he jumps around, taking care to make it look like he's just high-spirited. He pats Jion's shoulder. ]

What? Nobody needs to see you like this? What, don't you like my jacket? I'm hurt! I like that jacket a lot, I'll have you know! It fits me perfectly and it's warm!

[ And Archer has one to match ]

I know where you live [ BAD CAROLING ] so I'll race you!

[ OFF HE GOES in search of.....Jion's clothes. ]

[organfarm]

It's not about your jacket!

[ He thought that was obvious? Jion still looks flustered by the accusation, hurrying to correct any misunderstanding. ]

Um, your jacket's fine, it's not about your clothes. It's more. Y'know. Me mostly being ... not dressed. And also I know I look kinda unsettling to a lot of people because of my scar, and -- huh?

[ He totally missed that declaration of a race, and it's a good second or two before it occurs to him to run after Wei Wuxian. ]

Oh, come on, that's not fair! I don't have shoes!

[espritdecorpse]

Hahaha!

[ His laughter echoes down the lane as he runs. A little while later, he discovers the pile of clothes. He scoops them up in his arms, pants legs and sleeves trailing. ]

I win!

[ He spins around, drunk with victory. A personal item of clothing might go flying.... ]
