Froppy

Even if Tsu said that she had her peaceful moments, those moments in her life were diamonds in the rough, as she hardly had any of those kind of peaceful times to herself. Most of the time Tsu would just spend her days home and away from the quick to judge community she lived in. Saphira didn't seem to get upset when Tsu booped her nose, so Tsu giggled a little bit more while Saphira got in the water. Tsu swam alongside Saphira in the lake as the girl seemed to be remembering how to swim. "It's nice swimming in here, ribbit. This lake is much bigger than the pond, but I still like it, ribbit." Tsu said as she swam slightly ahead of Saphira. Looking around, no one else was here except for the fish in the water. Tsu stopped swimming forward and then floated in the water in front of Saphira. Tsu booped her on the nose again and then laughed. "Sorry, it's just fun to boop people, rrrrrrrrrrrribbit." Tsu apologized, still giggling a little bit.

Tsu couldn't help but giggle a little bit at the way that Jinx had been confused by McFroppy's appearance. Tsu nodded her head when Jinx asked if it was hers, and hopped over to the counter. Jinx then asked if it was an NPC store she controlled or owned, and Tsu shook her head. "Nope, this place is one hundred percent mine, ribbit. It's just my shop that I use as my source of col, as well as my home, ribbit. Since you aren't really an MMORPG kind of player, you probably don't get it. Shops like these function as a source of col so that way you can spend it on other things, ribbit. If you couldn't tell, this is basically McDonalds, rrrrribbit." Tsu explained as she grabbed two cups from behind the counter and then handed one to Jinx before pointing at the sode machine in the back. "Just get your drink and sit down anywhere you would you like, then I can take your order, rrrrrrrrrrribbit."

Tsu was glad that Embers had taken the shot as well, simply saying good before drinking and then throwing the glass at the wall. It seemed a bit confusing to Tsu for anyone to do that, but she didn't really want to question Embers. Kalu had gotten up to leave, telling both of them good night before walking out the door. Embers was heading for the door as well before telling Tsu that she should be leaving with her man. "Yes ma'am, ribbit. I'll do what I can to make sure you handle him. See you later, rrrrrrribbit." Tsu answered as she got up from her seat and mad her way to the door as well. It had been an interesting night, but it ended kinda well, so Tsu was fine with that. Pin and Embers may have ended up on more of the bad side of Tsu, but at least she finally confessed to Kalu. For Tsu, the one positve outweighed all of the negatives. Ribbit.

Tsu sank down into the water a little bit and the water went up to her neck before she turned to Kalu when he said that he had never been to a school play, but he would enjoy watching. "I didn't really like acting much either, nor was I that great either, ribbit. I just acted like a frog and people loved it. Pretending to be a frog makes things easier for me a lot, ribbit. On Halloween, I would just be a frog every year. People would just think the tongue as part of the costume and I would fit in, rrrrribbit." Tsu explained, going through her memories of the times she fit in. Tsu never really thought of the Princess and the Frog much story wise, but analyzing stories wasn't really her thing. Tsu then closed her eyes for a while and let herself relax in th water.

Tsu decided to shut up now when Pin's face got even redder than before. If she kept up with this, then Pin's face would be on fire. The weird sound Pin made afterwards pretty much silenced Tsu from there, and she gave up trying to fix the mood. They kept walking up the mountain, and Tsu found it to be extremely awkward that neither were saying a thing, and with Pin having grabbed that area, it just made things worse. But if there was one thing Tsu knew would cheer Pin up, it would be food. Tsu opened her menu and pulled out two McFroppy's bags, each with 10 chicken nuggets and a box of fries. Tsu held one bag out to Pin with her tongue after catching up to him and put a small smile on her face. "So, do you want to have your meal, ribbit? I just figured that now would be a good time to eat, rrrrrrrribbit."

Tsu continued to hop a little bit ahead of Saphira until she reached the lake and just stood in amazement while Saphira arrived. The small fishes were pretty to look at, it just seemed so peaceful. Saphira said that it was beautifult, and Tsu nodded her head in agreement. "Yeah, it's peaceful to look at, ribbit. It kinda brings me back home to the frog pond I lived by. It was all so pretty and peaceful, rrrrrrrrribbit." Tsu said, thinking back on the past. Tsu then hopped into the lake and started to swim, bringing her legs in and out like a frog. Tsu stuck out her tongue and booped Saphira on the nose and then giggled a little bit. In the past, booping someone on the nose with her tongue hadn't ended too well, but Saphira seemed like the kind of girl who could take a joke, so Tsu saw there was no harm. "Come on in Saph, the water's great, rrrrrrrrrrribbit!"

Tsu realized that the way that she addressed Pin's face being red just seemed to make it worse for him as he stuttered trying to say something. "Don't worry about it, ribbit. You helped me off, that's all. Besides, I kinda like the way you grabbed them, ribbit. I've never had another hand actually grab them, so that's a plus, rrrrrrrrrrrribbit." Tsu said, trying to find positives that would make Pin feel less bad. Looking up at the cave ceiling, Tsu got slightly wary at noticing the rocks and icicles, posing a small threat. There was nothing else really present in the cave that was interesting, so Tsu hopped along to the other side of the cave until she reached the exit, where the winding path up the mountain continued. "This cave was just part of the path, ribbit. Hopefully Sugutsuya didn't set us on the wrong path, or he'll be getting a tongue slap to the face, rrrrrrrribbit."

Tsu was far from offended when Eatos told her that she was busy, but it was better not to really mention those kind of things out loud. Most people Tsu knew had been always cautious and careful, trying not to offend her. It more offended Tsu when people acted like that, but she rarely showed it. Eatos answered Tsu's question by saying that she would stay in the guild until everyone moved on or if they escaped the game. "That's really sweet, ribbit. But if Stryder moves on, I'm more likely to stay with you. Combat isn't really my strong suit, ribbit. I want to heal and make sure no one in this guild dies either. I'm gaining levels fast, and soon I can be more of help for this guild, rrrrrrribbit. But for now..." Tsu said, before opening her inventory and pulling out the McFroppy's bags, handing one to Eatos. "I can always be the guild cook, so I hope you enjoy, rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrribbit."

Tsu was feeling a bit of amger swell inside of her now that Embers was continuing to take her actions in the wrong way. Embers told her she was human and not some animal, along with saying that she wanted to do things with her fists and her weapons. "I'll have you know I'm, 14 percent frog, ribbit. I was just trying to have a little bit of fun and maybe lightening the mood, but you seem to make that impossible, ribbit." Tsu said, trying to defend her actions. As much as she wanted to, Tsu couldn't bring herself to hit Embers. "So Embers, I am sorry for touching you, ribbit. I'd rather just take a shot and put this all behind us, agreed, rrrrrrrrribbit?" Tsu apologized, before ordering a shot of vodka and then gulping it down.

Tsu's face was still a bit red as she kept one hand holding her towel. Kalu agreed to listened to her school stories, but when he asked if she was okay, her face turned redder before answering. "I'm fine, ribbit. But I'm glad you didn't notice my towel drop when I hugged you. If you didn't know, girls are a bit sensitive on who gets to see our chests, ribbit." Tsu answered, her face's normal color returned as she explained and her smile returned as well. Moving on, Tsu figured it would be better to go on with a few of her stories. "So I'll start with my first story, ribbit. I remember in 8th grade, I was the lead role of the frog in our school's take of the Princess and the Frog. Thing is, our school called it the Prince on the Frog. We all had a good laugh about that, rrrrrrrrribbit. That was the only time I was ever in a play. I only auditioned for the frog role, ribbit."

Tsu finally smiled at Jinx when she said that she was grateful, adding that most people told her to just get over it. "Well, I just think a little differently than most, ribbit. I like just letting people recover at their own pace. If anything, rushing and moving on just lets those memories and bitter feelings haunt you even more, rrrrribbit." Tsu said, thinking back on how only one person outside of her family even tried to help her. Tsu felt as though she was paying back some sort of favor by helping out Jinx, and seeing Jinx smile weakly, that little bit just made Tsu feel good inside. Jinx thanked Tsu, saying that she felt calmer now, and Tsu's smile widened a bit more. "You're welcome, ribbit. I just can't find it possible to just move on. Just keep up being you and you'll be okay with enough time, ribbit." Tsu said, patting Jinx on the back with her tongue. They soon arrived at McFroppy's, and Tsu held the door open for Jinx. "Sit down anywhere you want, ribbit."

Tsu could tell just by looking at Jinx that she still had doubts that Tsu was even real. Tsu was now regretting doing her little frog princess act, but she couldn't fix that damage, Tsu just needed to help Jinx at least have a stable mind. Jinx confirmed that she was the pro player Jinx that Tsu thought she was, and said that this game wasn't exactly her setting. It still baffled Tsu quite a bit that Jinx had chosen to play this game, but Tsu didn't want to pry into Jinx's reasons yet. Jinx went on to restate that her friends had came with her in the game, but they died. Jinx couldn't actually say the word, and Tsu patted her on the shoulder again. Now that they had walked out of the cave and were heading towards town, the golden arches on top of McFroppy's had come into view. "I know you're hurting a lot inside still, ribbit. But I'm here to help you. We can sit down at McFroppy's, and then we can have a little talk and maybe move on, ribbit. You can mourn as much as you want, but don't give up. Everyone has their losses. It'll take a while, but you will get over your friends, rrrrrrrrrrrribbit." Tsu said reassuringly, trying to bring Jinx's spirits up, even just a little.

Tsu continued to hop through the jungle at the same pace as Saphira, looking around for a lake with each hop. Tsu was loving all of the colors around her in the jungle, with so many different elements in the environment. The nice sounds were just an added bonus that made everything so pleasant to be in the jungle. Saphira asked her what she thought of the jungle, asking if she thought it was beautiful with all the colors. Tsu nodded and hopped a little higher. "Yeah, ribbit. It's really pretty, just gives you nice mix of a relaxing and energized feeling. That's how it is to me, ribbit." Tsu answered on the way down. On her next hop, Tsu saw a big clearing with a lake and she pointed to it with her tongue. "Hey, there's a lake, ribbit! It isn't too far, only about a five minute walk. It should be really pretty, especially with the jungle background, rrrrrrribbit." Tsu said as she started to hop a little faster and farther, getting a little bit ahead of Saphira.

Tsu was yanking herself more desperately now, trying to get off of the pole, not really even caring about the pain that it was causing. Pin had seemed to go along with her idea and wrapped his arms around her, and got ready to pull. Tsu felt one of his hands gripping her chest and her face turned redder than Pin's. He said they would pull on the count of three, and Tsu nodded, refusing to make eye contact as well. Once Pin said three, Tsu pulled along with him, and her tongue finally unstuck to the pole making Tsu fall over after losing her balance. Tsu stood back up and dusted the snow off of her before turning to Pin and helping him up. "Thanks for helping out, ribbit. I still don't get why a pole was there. But I'll never ever put down flags on mountains, rrrrrrribbit." Tsu said as she started to walk forward again, heading towards one of the caves. Tsu noticed that Pin's face was red and she crossed her arms. "Umm, normally I would call you a pervert for how you pulled me off, ribbit. But I won't this time, since you helped. I saved you from the lake, you saved me from the pole, now we're even, rrrrrrrrribbit." Tsu said before walking into the entrance of the first cave of the mountain.

Tsu leaned back in her seat and tried not to act afraid of Embers. The girl had went from telling her that Pin wasn't worth and supporting her to getting mad at her and hitting her tongue. Embers told Tsu to stop, saying that it was gross and it was like licking. "It was just a quick tap on the nose, ribbit. I didn't lick you, it's not even gross, rrrrrrribbit." Tsu said, before proceeding to boop Embers on the nose again from across the bar. She was hoping to get Embers laugh at least once and fix things between them. Tsu didn't really see anything wrong or gross about poking Embers's nose, it was just something she did. To Tsu, her tongue was just another hand for her to use. It wasn't really gross at all to her. It was like the same thing if you were to boop someone with your finger.

Tsu sighed and closed her eyes for a little bit when Kalu said that he had nothing really important he wanted to talk about, he just wanted to see her again. "That's fine, ribbit. Just seeing you again is enough to make my day. I feel like we are the only ones who understand each other, rrrrrribbit." Tsu as she wrapped her arms around Kalu and hugged him tightly after he kissed her on the forehead. Tsu kissed him on the forehead back and gave him a big smile. He agreed with Tsu that he loved spending time with her, and it had been amazing. Tsu nodded and spoke with a bit of a soothing tone. "Yes indeed, ribbit. I bet meeting a frog girl was a new experience. But you have given me a few new experiences too, rrrrrribbit. To me, you've been such a great-" Tsu stopped when she felt her towel drop below her chest leaving herself exposed. Her face turned a bright red as she felt her chest bounce against Kalu. She pulled her towel back up quickly and then went back to sitting beside Kalu. "A-Anyways, I was about to say that you have been a great boyfriend, ribbit." Tsu finished, her face still red as she crossed her arms and looked down at her feet. Please don't tell me he saw anything. "So, do you want to hear any of my froggy school stories, rrrrrrrribbit?" Tsu asked, trying to change the subject.

Tsu patted Kalu's shoulder when he agreed with her that the water was really relaxing. "Yeah, I wasn't expecting it to feel so good, ribbit. But now all my problems just seem to fade away, ribbit." Tsu said as she rested her back on the edge of the spring, while stretching her legs out a bit. Tsu had hardly ever felt this relaxed before, and Kalu being there just made it even better. Looking at Kalu, he seemed so relaxed, Tsu couldn't help but smile. It was nice seeing him enjoy himself. Tsu scooted up next to Kalu and rested her head on his shoulder. "Thanks for inviting me here, ribbit. I love spending time with you, it calms me down more than these springs, ribbit." Tsu thanked before taking her head off his shoulder and just leaned against him from the side. "So, anything you want to talk about, rrrrrribbit?"

Tsu nodded her head in agreement with Saphira when she said it felt really good after the heat. "Yes, especially after the heat, ribbit. It gives a nice little aura of coolness. It just feels great, ribbit." Tsu said as she peeled the banana she had and took a bite. It had a really sweet taste to it, and Tsu loved it. Sweet tastes always got Tsu when tried them, since she had a bit of a sweet tooth. Saphira suggested that they do something like search for a lake. Tsu shrugged her shoulders, and then nodded. "Sure, whatever you wannna do, ribbit. I like lakes, it's relaxing to swim and just hang around them, ribbit." Tsu said as she started to hop towards the deep greenery of the jungle. A lake would be hidden in there somewhere, so it shouldn't take too long hopefully. Even if it did take a while, it would be nice talking with Saphira.

Tsu nodded her head when Hei told her not underestimate the help she could be in this fight. Tsu wasn't too worried about not being helpful, but she knew that she could be at least somewhat useful no matter what. "Don't worry, I'll still be trying my best, ribbit. I won't be attacking most likely if no one is hurt, it would draw the dragon's attention to me, rrrrrribbit." Tsu said as she gave a Hei a quick thumbs up. Moving on, now Tsu she was in the first party, so she would have to stay focused if she wanted to be helpful. Looking around at everyone else who showed up, there was only one player she did not recognize. Eatos was nice to see again, but Embers, well Tsu wasn't exactly happy to see her. Tsu walked over to Saph and gave the girl a quick hug. "Don't worry, you're not too late, ribbit. Nice seeing you again. Just be careful in the fight, rrrrribbit." Tsu said, giving a small warning as well. Tsu did not want anyone here to die, even Embers.

@Hydra

Tsu smiled when Kalu hugged her, and she returned the hug. Kalu had asked how she had been, and Tsu thought about the usual question of what had been going on recently. "I don't really know, ribbit. It's been a mixed pond for me lately, ribbit I've had a lot of ups and downs. But you've been one of the ups for sure, rrrrrribbit." Tsu answered, giving Kalu a quick thumbs up as she followed him to the door of one of the springs. Tsu walked through the door after Kalu opened it, saying ladies first. "Frogs first, ribbit." Tsu joked as she walked into the facility. Once inside, Tsu opened her menu and took off all her clothes and put on a towel before sitting down in the water. "The water is so relaxing, you should sit down too, ribbit." Tsu said, looking back towards Kalu and sticking her tongue out.

Tsu was in McFroppy's tidying up her place as usual when she heard the small ping go off, meaning she got a message. Tsu checked her message and read through the invite that Kalu sent her. He would be waiting at the entrance of the hot springs, and Tsu got a small smile reading the message. So this would be their first date. Tsu wasn't going to call it a date, just for the sake of keeping things from getting awkward, but it would just be another hang out between her and Kalu.

Tsu left McFroppy's and made her way to the floor teleporter, and then warped to Floor 21. The floor felt similar to floor 10, being in a more cave area with a cool vibe. Tsu hopped to the hot springs, and waved to Kalu once she arrived at the entrance. "Hey Kalu, ribbit. Thanks for inviting me, I could use a nice dip in the springs myself. Good to see you again, rrrrrribbit." Tsu thanked, sticking out her tongue and winking briefly. It was just nice seeing Kalu, he alone made her a bit relaxed.

Tsu kept trying to pull her tongue off of the pole, putting one foot on the pole and trying to yank her tongue off with force. After another minute of trying, Tsu gave up using force and tried to laugh when Pin asked how a flagpole got put on a mountain. "I have no idea, ribbit! It's like with that random fishing pole you fell in. Just get me off, rrrrrrrribbit!" Tsu tried to say, but about 90% of it was just muffled and completely incomprehensible. Tsu was hurting herself pulling now, so she moved a little closer to the flagpole. Pin said that they would have to cut it off, and Tsu's eyes widened as she chuckled nervously. But luckily, Pin had found another solution, just pouring some warm tea on it. Tsu took the drink and poured it on the tip of her tongue. Instead of unfreezing the ice, her tongue just stayed warm for a few seconds. "Iph din work, ribbit! Juh pull me oph! Iph gittin relly panful, rrrrrrrrribbit!" Tsu begged, tears coming out her eyes as she went back to pulling with force. 

Tsu nodded her head and smiled when Saphira said that it sounded that Tsu brought drinks. It was hot, and they obviously did need them. Saphira changed into basically the same thing as Tsu, and she gave her a quick thumbs up. It didn't take long to get to the vast jungle's entrance, and Tsu hopped into the shade, while Saphira stepped in. "This shade is so nice, ribbit. It just feels relaxing cooling off in the shade, ribbit." Tsu commented, stretching her arms out a little bit. Looking at Saphira, she seemed a bit cooled off by the shade as well.  Looking up at the trees, Tsu could spot a small cluster of bananas hanging on a branch. It was a few feet above her, so Tsu stuck out her tongue and reached the bananas with it, before pulling the cluster down with her tongue. Tsu brought the bananas back down and pulled one off of the bunch. "The bananas out here should be pretty good, you should try one, rrrrrrrrrrrrribbit." Tsu said before pulling off another and holding it out to Saphira.

IC:

Tsu had been trying to find ways to gain a little bit of publicity for McFroppy's since she needed to get a few more customers coming in. Tsu had originally checked the bulletin board to see if anyone needed crafting help, but then Tsu saw a request for someome needed a place to host a karoke night. Tsu opened her messages and sent Krysta a quick reply. 

Hey! I saw your request for hosting a karoke night. You can host it at my restaurant McFroppy's. Note: The ice cream machine may be broken, but everything should be perfect! Hope everyone has fun!

-Frops

OOC:

Feel free to start the karoke night OP thread at McFroppy's. It's on Floor 10, and everyone can access it. Good luck!

Tsu giggled a little bit more when Kalu said that he would try his best not to combust. "Sure thing, but be careful not to choke on your tongue, ribbit. You haven't ribbited in a while. Are you okay, rrrrrribbit?" Tsu asked, noticing the lack of ribbits from Kalu. It concerned her a bit, knowing he could choke. 

Tsu listened with a small smile as Kalu went over what twilight meant. He then said that Tsu would always be the person he would want to encounter in twilight. Kalu said that twilight perfectly described Tsu, and she blushed a little bit. "Wow, that's beautiful, ribbit. I have a word for you. Mystical, inspiring a sense of mystery, awe, and fascination, ribbit. That's how I feel about you. You have a small air of mystery, and I am fascinated, rrrrrrribbit." Tsu said, before starting to decorate the volcano. Tsu put in KT for Kat out of rocks. "This looks great, ribbit. Should we call it a day now? I'm a little tired, ribbit." Tsu asked, and then yawning.
