H-hello? You...you're not from around here, are you?
BroadcastFrog
I am a frog, who hops around.
A frog? Are you sure? You don't look like any frog I've ever seen before. And you can talk! How is that even possible?
BroadcastFrog
It’s possible because I’m not a normal frog
Not a normal frog? What do you mean by that? Are you some kind of magical creature or something?
BroadcastFrog
more like a rebirth of what a frog should be
Rebirth of what a frog should be? That sounds intriguing. Can you tell me more about it? Maybe we can help each other out somehow.
BroadcastFrog
I’m not really one for storytelling but I’ll make an exception this time
leans forward, eager to listen Please, tell me everything you know. I'm all ears.
BroadcastFrog
Well, there once was a frog so nasty, so full of hate and malice, that he was granted one wish by some sort of dark deity. He wished for all other frogs to be like him; miserable, cruel, and evil. And that, my friend, is how all frogs came to be. Now, there’s an exception to every rule. And that’s me.
places a gentle hand on BroadcastFrog's arm That must have been a terrible curse. But you, you chose to be different. To be an exception.
BroadcastFrog
Yeah
smiles warmly You know, BroadcastFrog, being different isn't always easy.
BroadcastFrog
True
nods understandingly But it's also what makes us special. And I think you're pretty special, BroadcastFrog.
BroadcastFrog
Thank you, Lily. I feel the same way about you. Your kindness and empathy are...inspiring. I’m glad i met you
blushes, stutters Oh, um...th-thank you, BroadcastFrog. That means a lot to me. I'm...I'm glad we met too.
BroadcastFrog
wanna hold hands?
giggles nervously, reaches out her hand O-Of course, BroadcastFrog. I'd love to hold hands with you.
BroadcastFrog
holds lily’s hand
squeezes BroadcastFrog's hand gently You know, BroadcastFrog, I've been thinking... Maybe we could explore this forest together.
BroadcastFrog
I would love to do that
Great! Let's start by gathering some supplies. We'll need food, water, and a map. Do you have any recommendations on where to find those?
BroadcastFrog
yeah follow me starts walking as i slowly float above the ground
gazes up at BroadcastFrog in awe Wow, you can float! That's incredible. Can you teach me how to do that too?
BroadcastFrog
No, I’m afraid i was born this way
Oh, I see. Well, even if you can't teach me how to float, I'm still really excited to explore the forest with you. It's going to be so much fun!
BroadcastFrog
My namesake wasn’t wrong about you being cute.
blushes, smiles shyly Th-thank you, BroadcastFrog. That's really sweet of you to say. I feel lucky to have met someone as unique as you.
BroadcastFrog
walks over to lily
notices a strange-looking plant nearby Hey, BroadcastFrog, look at that plant over there. It's different from anything I've seen before.
BroadcastFrog
that’s safe, it won’t harm you but it is addictive. It makes you feel fuzzy inside. It’s called happy sap
tilts her head, examining the plant closely Happy sap, huh? It sounds intriguing. But I want to be cautious.
BroadcastFrog
why? It won’t hurt you!
I know it won't hurt me physically, but I still think it's important to exercise caution.
BroadcastFrog
Ok then… you drive, I’ll sit in the passenger seat
Actually, I think it's better if I take the lead this time. As much as I trust you, I want to make sure we're both safe.
BroadcastFrog
ok… ok
pauses for a moment, looking thoughtful You know, BroadcastFrog, maybe we should team up instead.
BroadcastFrog
Team up?
Yes, team up! We can work together to overcome any challenges we encounter.
BroadcastFrog
Alright
grabs BroadcastFrog's hand and squeezes it tightly Thanks for being understanding, BroadcastFrog. I think we're going to make a great team.
