Froppy

Tsu hadn't been doing too much as of late either. Ever since she levelled up her healing skills, she decided to live a more quiet life and just run McFroppy's. It made everyone just that bit more happy, so it made Tsu happy. She hadn't heard much from her former guild, only really hoping Pin was fine. She still had feelings for him, but the way he never came by and how he acted when they last met kinda indicated that he didn't care for her. At the moment, Tsu was just cleaning up the tables in her shop since no one was currently there when she received a message. That hardly ever happened nowadays. She opened it with a smile when she saw that it was Arabelle. She remember having a few good times with her, so why not spend some time at the hot springs too?

To: Arabelle

Special private pool? Sounds fun. I've been hoping to hang out with some of you ever since I left the guild. Anyways, I'll be right over at the entrance of the floor!

Tsu sent the message to Arabelle and put her stuff away. She left McFroppy's and locked the door behind her before heading to the floor teleporter and warping to floor 21. Once she arrived, Tsu walked over to one of the benches and sat down, waiting for her friend to come around.

Tsu looked down as Shiro stopped himself from complimenting her. By the red on his face, Tsu didn't want to ask any questions, it was awkward enough for both of them. After the long pause, Tsu listened to Shiro basically say he was fine with her. "Really, ribbit? Well, you don't seem like a bad person either. I don't like being bothered when I relax, but you're fine with me, rrrrrribbit!" Tsu said, giving him a thumbs up. Shiro already seemed to be opening up a little, so Tsu decided to the same. "So... you're one of the less awkward people around me actually, ribbit. Most are a little weirded out by my tongue, but you haven't complained about it yet, so thanks, rrrrrribbit!" Tsu thanked, her tongue now only hanging about 6 inches out of her mouth. If she let it hang too far down, the water would not feel good on her tongue, so Tsu kept it up.

@Huginn

"An original, ribbit? Well you seem like a kinda creative musician then. The slow mopey kind of music makes me think, so I like hearing it now and then, rrrrrrribbit." Tsu responded, more curious in the music now. Shiro went on to say he can play classic music best, which is what Tsu expected from someone playing the violin. Seeing Shiro's red face, Tsu's face turned a little red as well. Unlike Shiro was only missing his shirt, Tsu was stark naked in front of him minus her towel. Thankfully there was the water between them, so he couldn't see anything. After seeing his forced smile, Tsu could tell her was nervous. "You're a bit nervous it seems, ribbit. I am too, I don't do a lot of talking when I'm out here, ribbit. If it's because I'm a girl, just think of me as a frog, rrrrrribbit!" Tsu said, sticking her tongue about a foot out of her month with a small smile.

@Huginn

Okay, so he was just here to relax as well. Tsu didn't say anything else about the matter, as everyone else had their own way of doing things. After Shiro introduced himself, Tsu was about to do the same, but he had jumped into the water and created and splash which cut her off. Looking at Shiro again, Tsu gave a small wave, lightly smiling seeing that he had now taken some of his clothes off in the spring next to her to relax. "I'm Tsu, ribbit. Glad to see you enjoying yourself. I come here almost every weekend, it just feels nice, rrrrribbit." Tsu said, resting her arms underneath her chest on the ground between the two bodies of water they were in. Her hair was wet like his, although unlike the clear signs that Shiro gave, Tsu wasn't really the strong type. "So you play violin, ribbit? I didn't hear too much of what you were playing, so what song were you playing? I liked the little bit that I heard, rrrrrribbit." Tsu said, tilting her head curiously. 

@Huginn

Tsu was on her usual visit to the local floors, mostly looking for lower levelled players to help out with healing and such. But today would have seemed to be a slow day for her as not too many low players were out and about. So after a bit of searching, Tsu gave up and just headed out to sightsee before heading back to her shop. This time she visited the gardens, having not seen them before. Once she arrived, Tsu waved at the five players, smiling at Yinangi. "Hi there, ribbit. Good to see the three of you again, it's been a little while. I hope you both have been good lately, rrrrrribbit!" Tsu said, looking at Vigilon and Dazia now. Turning to the other two players, Tsu gave them a small wave as well. "And hello to both of you as well, ribbit. Just call me Tsu, your friendly frog, rrrrrribbit!" Tsu greeted them, giggling a little bit to herself and smiling. Noticing the not full health bar above one of the strangers, Tsu tapped a finger to her chin, tilting her head. "You got a little hurt didn't you, ribbit? I can heal you up with my tongue if you want, rrrrrribbit." Tsu offered, sticking her tongue out for a second.

@Kit @Ennakai @Vigilon @Dazia

Tsu had already been on the 21st floor, relaxing in the hot springs as she usually did on weekends. Since later floors were being taken care of, this floor was now not nearly as busy as it once was. With just a towel on, Tsu had relaxed in the water with her eyes closed for a good hour or two before she heard the almost sad song come from a violin. Opening her eyes and crossing her arms over her chest, Tsu looked up at where the sound was coming from. There was a player playing the violin for some reason, but Tsu was going to question it. After a little bit he stopped, so Tsu finally spoke up. "Hey there, ribbit. That was some nice music. I take it you came to relax here, ribbit? Why don't you come in the water? It's nice and hot, rrrrrribbit." Tsu asked, a bit interested in why someone would come here to not relax. The guy was staring off into space, so she couldn't really tell what his deal was. As usual though, Tsu tried to be as friendly as she could.

@Huginn

If there is an odd number of players in the half loss tournament, I'd be down to join as well, rrrrrrribbit.

(OOC: Leaving the thread)

Tsu saw the caravan in the distance and continued hopping alongside Merlin as they made their way towards it. When Merlin asked if Tsu saw herself as a human, she paused for a little bit. "No, ribbit. Even if it's only 14% of me, that amount is still enough to seperate me. Growing up, most people never saw my family as human, so I got used to it after a while, rrrrrrribbit." Tsu answered, now looking at the caravan, glad that they finally reached their destination. Tsu grabbed the bottle that Merlin gave her and took a sip, finding it refreshing. "Thanks for letting me come along, ribbit. It would have stunk trying to do this quest alone. Although we should start setting up camp now, rrrrrribbit." Tsu said, opening her inventory and getting out her usual exploration tent, setting it up next to the caravan. "Setting up camp is a lot easier in SAO with how things are already prepared, ribbit. I say we head inside to stay away from the sand while we wait for night to fall, rrrrrribbit." Tsu said as she hopped into the tent, sitting down inside.

Tsu started to get tired of walking, so she went back to her normal form of moving which was her frog hops. She kept the same pace as Merlin, so it wasn't really too much of a difference than walking. The heat was finally starting to disappear, so Tsu put her shorts and shirt back on to not get so chilly. "For me, I don't like how dry it is, ribbit. I grew up in an... often damp place, so I'm more vulnerable to dry places like deserts. The heat isn't too bad honestly, rrrrrrribbit." Tsu said, responding to Merlin's explanation for his blushing. The sun was setting, so she knew that they would have to set up camp soon. Possibly it would be a good idea to set up camp near the caravan just so the next day would be a simple walk back to the town. "So is there anything you wanted to talk about, ribbit? We're going to be out here for a while, so I figured that we get to know each other. Anything you were wondering, rrrrrribbit?" Tsu asked, looking up at him as she hopped alongside Merlin. The sand still wasn't doing anything to Tsu, and it seemed as though the winds were dying down a little bit at night.

Tsu smiled when Hazado said that he didn't mind her frog friends, saying that they were interesting. "Yay, ribbit. For some reason, they never want to leave me alone. Frogs stick with frogs I guess, rrrrrrribbit." Tsu said as she patted one of the frogs. One of them hopped into her bikini top and poked it's head out from between her boobs. Hazado asked why Tsu was here by herself at the beach and Tsu answered quickly. "I don't know, ribbit. The frogs like me a lot, so I just visit them. Plus it's summer, so I'm not really fond of being cooped up at my restaurant this time of year, rrrrrribbit." Tsu answered. Looking out at the ocean, the waves were always ever so calming, so Tsu just stared for a bit while another frog hopped into her chest and a couple of them hopped onto her knees. "What about you, ribbit? How come you came here by yourself? Just getting away from things, rrrrrrribbit?" Tsu asked, turning towards Hazado, the movement making all the frogs hop off of her.

Tsu had been studying the beach for the past few days, and studying really just meant finding all the frogs she could and hanging out with them. Today since the beach was empty, Tsu could fully enjoy herself. She already had about 12 frogs around her, just laying back in the sun when she saw a familiar player show up on the beach. She had seen Hazado at the beach twice so Tsu figured she might as well say hi. She and the rest of the frogs hopped on over to Hazado, with Tsu sitting in the same frog stance as them next to Hazado. "Nice to see you again, ribbit. The beach is empty this time, it's nice. Don't mind my friends, they follow me everywhere, rrrrrribbit." Tsu said as the frogs surrounded them, all of them just staring at Hazado. The small waves felt nice to Tsu, so sitting down in this spot was good.

Tsu's Beach Outfit

Tsu noticed that now Merlin still wasn't really looking at her much, seemingly embarassed by something. Tsu handed the shorts back to him before starting to walk away from the rock formation. "You can hold on to them, ribbit. But how come you are blushing? Did I do something wrong, rrrrrrribbit?" Tsu asked, turning around and walking backwards while facing Merlin, her boobs now bouncing with almost every step due to the ground becoming more soft with sand. Merlin gave his own insight on the skill from this quest and said it would be useful for exploring, to which Tsu nodded her head. "Yeah, I guess it could be helpful for whenever I have to gather ingredients, ribbit. Sometimes my errands can get a little dirty, at least for human standards. A skill that just blocks that out would be nice, rrrrrrribbit." Tsu said in response, finding her own use for the skill. "From what I've heard, this caravan is so far from town that we have to camp out for the night, ribbit. That's why we have such a long period of time to find it. So are you fine with camping out here, rrrrrrribbit?" Tsu asked, making sure Merlin was okay with all of this.

Tsu noticed that Merlin's cheeks had turned a shade of red, and Tsu didn't really get why. "What's wrong, ribbit? Is the heat getting you that bad? Here, wipe yourself with this, rrrrrribbit." Tsu said as she slipped off her shorts, revealing her green panties. She handed her shorts to Merlin before following him over to the peculiar rock formation. "It feels nice now, ribbit. Clothes really weigh you down in heat like this. Just I like not having to wear clothes as much as others, it frees me a little in the heat like this, rrrrrrribbit." Tsu said as she looked at the rock formation, finding it a bit interesting. As she and Merlin looked, he asked what the rewards for the quest were and Tsu answered quickly. "This quest gives you a skill that lets you not take terrain damage, ribbit. Ironically, this is one of the only quests that it's actually useful on. The skill is only really helpful for helping others, rrrrrrribbit." Tsu answered, having a short giggle about to herself, trying not to smile still.

Tsu followed Merlin and walked beside him on their path to find the cargo, and wasn't too surprised that the sandstorm didn't do any damage to her or Merlin. It picked up at some points, but that was a rare occassion. What was not rare was the heat bearing down on them, which Tsu still hated. Merlin asked what level she was, stating that he was level 5. "I'm level 12, ribbit. Both of us will be fine. Even if we get hurt, our health regenerates on it's own, rrrrrrribbit." Tsu answered, glad that Merlin was pretty much guranteed not to die. Tsu was now getting hotter by the minute, so Tsu slipped off her shirt and started using it as a rag. She had on a green bra underneath that revealed a bit of her big chest. "I can't wait for this quest to be done with, ribbit. I have been dreading doing this one. The heat is really kicking in here, rrrrrrribbit." Tsu said as she let her tongue hang out about a foot out of her mouth.

Tsu followed Merlin out of the tavern and headed towards the desert they would have to go through. The heat was really kicking in, and Tsu was dreading how things would go once they walked outside into the sandstorm. "This heat is miserable, ribbit..." Tsu muttered as they approached the gate that went out of town. Tsu was already getting sick of the flies that started to buzz around them, so Tsu caught them all quickly with her tongue, eating 6 of them. Looking out at the desert, the orange landscape combined with the ominous rocks in the distance made the whole thing seem dangerous, even though the only real threat was the sand. "Are you ready to go, ribbit? I am ready whenever you are. As long as you're not level 1, this quest is super easy, rrrrribbit." Tsu said, already knowing how much damage the sand did, which was enough to 1 hit kill a level 1 player.

Tsu had been "studying" floor 16 lately, and by studying Tsu was just hopping around the beach trying to find frogs. She was already wearing a bikini and beach hat to fit the situation. Since it was a beach, frogs found her easily rather than Tsu finding them. Now that she already had a bunch of frogs following her, Tsu made her way back over to the part of the beach that most people actually visited. Although to her surprise, there was a big lack of people in the area, so Tsu decided to just relax with her frog buddies, but then she noticed a familiar player sitting on a rock out in the water. Tsu had seen Grimm at the beach previously, so Tsu figured it would be good to say hi. Tsu and the frogs hopped into the water, before hopping onto the rock Grimm was on. "Hey Grimm, ribbit. It seems like the beach is empty today. I like it like this, rrrrribbit." Tsu said as she hopped over to Grimm's side, still in the same frog stance as the other 12 frogs next to them.

Tsu's Swimsuit

@Grimm

Tsu was glad that Merlin had simply waved off her whole tongue thing, not really pressing her for questions. Merlin then answered her question by saying he would dress more casual on this floor next time, adding that there was a quest he wanted to do. Sure enough, the quest NPC for said quest was already behind them, going through the usual dialogue for the quest before Merlin got the quest offer. So it was the traveller quest it seemed, and Tsu was looking forward to it. It was a rather easy one, with no combat, so Tsu didn't have to worry about Merlin dying at all. He sent a party invite to Tsu after getting the offer and asked if she wanted to go, and Tsu immediately accepted, tapping the check mark with her tongue. "Sure, ribbit. I was mostly just planning on exploring this floor. But now I can just explore and do a quest, ribbit. I recommend that we should leave now since we are on a bit of a time limit, rrrrrrribbit." Tsu said, getting off of the bar stool, walking over to the tavern door and holding it open for Merlin. "Humans first, rrrrrribbit!" Tsu joked, a smile once again almost forming on her face.

Tsu saw Merlin's curious reaction to her tongue and blushes a little bit. "Sorry about the tongue, ribbit. I try not to let people see it. It's just a part of me, rrrrrribbit." Tsu apologized, not sure if the curiousity was out of disgust or interest. Regardless, it was a little embarassing she had just let a random player see her tongue so soon. He shook her hand and introduced himself as Aden, Merlin in game. "Nice to meet you Merlin, ribbit. I take it you're just travelling here for your first time? I can stay close by if you want, I'm decently levelled, rrrrrribbit." Tsu offered, not really wanting to see anything happen to this seemingly nice guy. Considering he had been on floor 1 for so long, there was no way he was very experienced. "Were you planning on taking some kind of quest, ribbit? I can come along if you need a frog buddy. I'll heal you too, rrrrrribbit." Tsu added, a slightly curious look on her face as she looked Merlin up and down to try and pinpoint what level he was.

Tsu collected her thoughts and relaxed a little bit when this player turned out to be at least somewhat friendly. He had said he spent a few years on floor 1, and it was quite apparent from his choice of clothes that he wasn't fit for here, and most certainly had no knowledge of the temperature beforehand. "I studied up a little bit on all the floors, so I know what to wear, ribbit. You'll catch on each floor soon. Don't worry, rrrrribbit." Tsu reassured, before ordering a drink herself, to which the bartender slid a drink down the counter and Tsu caught it with her tongue. Tsu grabbed the cup from her tongue with her hand and took a sip while her tongue went back into her mouth. "I've been living on floor 10 for about a year and a half now, ribbit. Although lately I've been travelling more now, trying to switch things up a little bit, rrrrribbit." Tsu answered his question, before taking another sip. Tsu then held her hand out to shake, looking at the player in the eyes. "I'm Tsuyu, but my friends call me Tsu, nice to meet you, ribbit." Tsu introduced herself, a smile almost forming on her face.

Tsu had been exploring more of the lower floors lately, trying to wrap up quests in each one of them. The remaining quests in floors 1 through 4 were mostly for higher levels, so Tsu moved on to floor 5. It was a super hot floor as Tsu expected, so she simply dressed lightly and wore a baggy white shirt along with black shorts. Walking around, there was mostly NPCs, as most players didn't like this floor, but Tsu liked it so far because of that. After getting tired quicker than usual from the heat, Tsu stepped inside one of the taverns to cool off.

Looking around, Tsu could only spot one other player in the area, so she sat down next to him, as he also seemed to be having heat trouble. "Hello, ribbit. What brings you to this floor? It is rather hot in temperature out here, rrrrrribbit." Tsu asked, leaning against the bar and looking at him. To cool off a little bit more, Tsu slipped her shoes off to give her feet some cool air as well. It was relaxing in the bar, although she had to some quests to do, so she couldn't stay for long.

Tsu read Neo's message and smiled to herself before looking at Neo. At least she was willing to learn. Tsu then proceeded to type out another message. "I'm aware of the whole translation system, just my language probably isn't translated because it isn't actually a language. It's a bunch of sounds I make with my throat to convey words, kinda like how morse code works. I was hoping the game would translate for me, but that's not the case. But hey, at least I can talk to frogs! I like your idea of us teaching each other. I don't know when I'll get my voice back if ever, so I'll have to learn to communicate differently. I'd love to teach you amphibious, maybe you could use it, since you're technically not talking. Just kidding, you do you. But thanks for being patient with me." Tsu sends the message and looks at Neo with a bit of a playful smile. "Rrrribb rrribbit!"

Tsu didn't let out any more ribbits and just listened to Tyonis give his small talk with everyone, thanking them for coming out and helping out. Tsu accepted his friend request and got a small smile on her face when both Tyonis and Neo gave her a high five to her tongue. Both of them seemed pretty nice, so Tsu made a little mental note to maybe work with them more in the future. Mars still seemed pretty much the same as he was last time, so Tsu made another mental note that maybe working with Mars isn't such a good idea if one wanted to have a somewhat good time. Tyonis then said that if any of them needed him to fill a party slot, he would help. Tsu nodded her head and started to walk away a bit from the group. "Ribb rrrrribbit." Tsu said to herself, observing the group. They were a nice well rounded group, so Tsu imagined that if they all stuck together, they could go pretty far. It would be an interesting group to see, but it was pretty unreasonable to assume that the four of them would stay together as one party.

Tsu read the message and felt a little less upset with how Neo led her on. It made Tsu feel a little bit better knowing that Neo at least wanted to try and learn the language to understand Tsu, but she shook her head and typed out another message. "You think I only speak frog huh? I don't, I've just lost my voice recently thanks to an item so all I can make is frog sounds from my throat. It's called amphibious by the way, it's my first language." Tsu sent the message explaining her dilema before going back to hopping alongside Neo. Hopefully she would at least somewhat understand what it going on and maybe have some more patience with Tsu. The last thing Tsu wanted was for them to not end up being friends all because Tsu just couldn't communicate or get along with Neo because of the amphibious language.

Tsu got a little bit more mad with Mars as he decided to sit back and do nothing again, but she couldn't really say anything to him about it. Even if she could, Mars had done a bit of contribution himself so Tsu wasn't really one to talk. Tyonis finally killed the wasp queen when he was up and the quest was complete. Tsu gave a few small claps, before hopping over to where Mars was. "Rrrrribb ribbit!" Tsu let out, basically congratulating everyone on beating the boss. Tsu still didn't do much, so she felt a little bit guilty about the whole thing. If she had contributed more than she actually did, then Mars would be getting a tongue slap right now. "Rrrribbbbit!" Tsu exclaimed, before sticking her tongue out for someone to high five. She smiled at Tyonis and Neopolitan once they regrouped, giving Tyonis a thumbs up back.
