[It’s his first time on the network, and Tom looks more than a little nervous about it. Is it like being on the telly? He feels like he’s on the telly.

Nervousness aside, the biggest problem with it being video instead of text is the lack of subtitles.]

Never had no trouble with frogs before. Quite liked ‘em when I was little. But now they’re being all rude, and something must’ve got ‘em riled. But it ain't right, using that language where a lady might hear them.

[But there's something else troubling him.]

So, I was wondering if anyone knew what made them scratches on some of the doors around here. They showed up a couple of nights after the full moon and-

[He shouldn’t say it. Tom’s used to the existence of certain kinds of monsters humans being kept secret at all costs. But he’s heard that things are different here. He finishes with the perfect puppy dog expression, even though he’s less puppy now than before.]

And it weren’t me what did it.

[ wow nice accent. and grammar. ]

What does the full moon have to do with it?

[bays]

[Yeah, well nice...scales.]

Eh. Because that's me time of the month.

[Tom, no.]

For changing.

[thoughtless]

Your time of the month.

[ holy crap you're worse than mccall. ]

No, but seriously— good luck with that. Or did you not get the memo?

...

Frogs?

[What?]

You speak frog?

video;

[bays]

Nah. Frog spoke to me, and he were dead vulgar.

[dyingisnotdead]

...there is a man named Frog, then?

[Forgive him. Loras isn't always the brightest.]

[shinybaldhead]

Couldn't say about the scratches, dude. People are sleepwalking - doing some pretty fucked up shit is what it looks like.

voice;

[bays]

Ya think there could be monsters around?

voice;

[shinybaldhead]

No idea. Could be? Probably, actually. Always seems like there's something lurkin'.

[ Scott sees the conversation between Tom and Jackson... well, until they switch to private. The mention of the full moon and it being the time of the month for Tom... If it turns out he isn't a werewolf, Scott will be very surprised.

Scott cuts to the chase: ] You're a werewolf?

voice;

[bays]

Didn't say that. A werewolf is just something out of a storybook, now innit?

[He couldn't sound less convincing if he tried.]

[msattentionspan]

Talking frogs and then the full moon... you definitely need to figure out how not to bury the lead.

[bays]

Weren't trying to bury anything. I don't wanna kill the frogs, just make 'em stop using bad language and stuff.

[lookingfordragon]

Frogs?

I wasn't me either... At least I don't think it is, unless it has something to do with those headaches.

[It was something she could do now that she thought about it.]

[bays]

Don't go near 'em. A lady shouldn't have to hear words like them.

[mulletrock]

Please tell me you're not a werewolf. Y'know what just tell me you're not stupid enough to friggin' broadcast it if you are. I get that this place is a melting pot of shit like you but trust me when I say that not everyone can deal with the existence of furry four legged mooks as well as I am.

[bays]

[Tom's not sure how to respond at first, in part because he's not good with thinking of what to say all spur of the moment. But his dad never liked him lying either.

But...it wouldn't really be lying, would it?]

What sort of werewolf don't change on the full moon? That's ridiculous, mate.

[neverymind]

You could do something like that?

[bays]

Ain't saying that I'd want to or anything.

[But accidents happen.]

[Artemis will actually take the time out of his "busy" schedule when he hears about vulgar frogs.]

Frogs? Is there a specimen nearby that you can show me?

[Video]

[bays]

[Tom grins at that.]

Grew up in the woods, 'course I can catch a coupla frogs. But you really sure ya wanna hear what comes outta one's mouth?

[ffuckoff]

[Watch as all mention of wolves and their relative were fly right over Fiona's head. More importantly, the hilarious idea that people shouldn't swear in front of her.]

Yeah, it was traumatic, but I survived somehow.

[bays]

Ya want me to gather them all up and take 'em to a pond or something?

[ Video ] Mitchell's canon point is during early S2

[iamaplague]

[The way this bloke speaks, he must be from the UK.]

Hey mate, I don't know what you mean about frogs, but I can think of a creature that would be prowling around during the full moon. Would you even believe they exist, I don't know...

By the way, do you come from England?

[ Video ] oh this will be fun!

[bays]

[Tom blinks and just stares at the video. It looks like him. Sounds like him. But it can't really be him, can it?]

Mitchell?
