Froggy went a-courtin'

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 [plurk.com profile] 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. ]

[ Excellent. He can shriek-chirp all he wants, but Maya's making a dive for the frog and snatching him off the ground to hold him aloft.

Between Wei Wuxian and the elves, she's sure been doing a lot of tackling lately, she thinks-- but for now, she's staggering to her feet and giving the frog a glare. ]

You know... I promise... it's really not that bad!!

[ Thus caught, the frog suddenly goes limp, and makes a horrible wheezing noise, as if she's squeezing it too hard. It turns its bulbous eyes towards her, to stare at her sadly; and then its eyes slowly close, half-lidded as if it were dying.



please fall for it, please loosen your grip, please oh pleeeeeease.... ]
scooptimistic: (Now you're thinking with portals!)

You'll feel better in no time at all!

[ Yeah. She's ignoring this dramatic death to plant a swift peck on what constitutes lips for a frog. ]

CHIRP CHIRP AAAAAAAAAAH!

[ In a puff of smoke he transforms. Which means Maya's holding him around his (naked) midsection. He stares at her with a look of utmost horror. This is exactly what he was trying to avoid, aaaah! ]
espritdecorpse: (where's the party)

[ .......at which point it occurs to him that the worst has already happened. In the rest of his life, he will suffer no greater humiliation. So from here on out, once he gets through this, everything's going to be fine. Just fine. Which means, he might as well own this.

Give him a second. Maybe two. He straightens up and says brightly: ]

Thanks very much! I thought I was going to be stuck like that forever!
scooptimistic: (This dramatic wind is still surprising)

...

[ Something seems to have died in Maya's eyes. It might have been her soul. ]
espritdecorpse: (PAY ATTENTION TO ME)

[ It's one thing to tell yourself you're going to own the most humiliating experience of your life. It's quite another to . be buck naked in the middle of the street, with a pretty maiden looking at you absolutely dead-eyed. He flushes red, from the tips of his toes to the roots of his hair. It's time to run away, but she's holding him still, and he worries he'll yank her over if he makes any sudden moves and he's loathe to touch her, so: ]

Ah. Haha. I'm flattered, but do you think you could let go of me?
espritdecorpse: (braying)

[personal profile] espritdecorpse 2019-01-09 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ Unexpectedly, his composure just snaps (it's that dead-eyed look, erasing whatever shreds remained of his self-esteem and dignity). ]

I TRIED TO GET AWAY FROM YOU! I TRIED TO STOP YOU! IT'S NOT MY FAULT, I WAS IN THE BATH!
scooptimistic: (Dramatic swoosh)

... I'm going to close my eyes and count to ten. You're either going to be clothed when I open them again or gone. Capisce?

[ WE'RE NEVER GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS.

But also yes, she's releasing him. ]

[ Once released, his initial instinct is to bolt. But he's just so indignant! None of this was his fault! It was hers for taking on the quest in the first place! And yet she's making him out to be some kind of deranged, perverted miscreant!

....that's just how his luck goes, he supposes. There's no explaining his way out of this. Also, it's cold.

At this point, even though he'd been hopping for home, he hadn't actually made much headway there, tiny frog legs and all. He's still closer to the bath. It's where his clothes are, too. With as much dignity as he can muster (for a naked guy in the middle of the street who's just been subject to the World's Most Withering Gaze): ]

That's fine. I was just going back to my bath.

[ Off he goes. In no hurry. At first anyway. After a few steps he breaks into a run. ]
