The biggest problem to form for Ed after the overall problematic event of the end of the vagabonds, was what he was forced to carry on his shoulders wherever he went. The frogs he had on himself were weighing down, and he had never been exactly the carrying type. Wherever he went, he would almost always accidentally drop on, and Ed would need to hope to god the frog landed safely with just a little tumble to its name. It made climbing and overall hiding extremely tedious... And Rosita especially, having been used to living in a fishbowl for most of her existence, was finding this very awkward situation. "Lo siento... The pool is not... safe for all of you to be there..." If a chunky bugger like that darn beardo could notice it, anybody could...
Heck, it was late... it was cold... it was tiring... all of the frogs were pretty much just lumps of cold meat on his back, trying to conserve their energy. Desperation was hitting... He needed to get inside something... something warmer. His eyes started glancing around for any big building, anything with an open window, or something to break through easily... And the only one of its kind for now, seemed to be this giant building, glass windows, big tower at the front. For now, it had to do.
Ed proceeded to take off running, the tiredness from the cold was kicking in proper for him too. He had to made it into a warm space! He could feel his fingers shivering, as he stuck into the wall of the building, climbed it up, the slime in his fingers just worsening the effect of the cold winds... "Krrrrrrr..." To his luck, one of the holes in the walls of the tower, was indeed a hole. No protective glass or anything. Very weak protection, so assumedly, the building wouldn't have much for him to use or to take with him. He looked around, as the frogs on his back, started slowly moving again. "Aaaah, Lucky senor I am..." There was actually something he really needed... A snack stand! Food for him and the frogs. With the weight of everything else, it was hard for him to carry much extra.
Aside from the quite sizeable canister of Marine strapped on his waist. His one treasure that he couldn't leave behind. It had to be of some sort of value. It did so many things... Heck, if he couldn't do anything else with it, he could maybe kill anyone he wanted with it! Any quirker atleast...
"Croak!" "...Yes! Yeeeeesh..." Rosita was of course up first. As expected. Pampered and chunky, it wasn't too weak against the cold. But it was more hungry than the rest too. Ed proceeded to climb into the stand, and started ripping into the bags of candy and chips. Opened a can of coffee, and proceeded to munch, whilst giving occasionally one for Rosita... Sitting peacefully in this little stand, Ed could breathe of relief, as the other frogs started waking up too, grabbing some food and liquid for themselves... "Enjoy, ninos and senoritas... Make yourselves at home..." Of course, he would need to leave once the morning would come but hey, for now there was nothing to fear.
In fact, what was this place? He had not exactly had time to go visit places just for fun with the vagabonds. Savage had always pulled him along for the ride. That whole halloween fiasco with all the candy that had made his frogs sick... Blegh... What an annoying thought. But aside from that, maybe it was time for him to show his kids around a little... Well, after the meal of course!

~Meanwhile~
In the streets of Tokyo two men were walking. It was dark and it was night, but it needed to be because sources say one of the Vagabonds was in this area. Now, the two werent Vigilantes. No, not by a long shot. They were the mafia and they were always happy to have more people working for them.
"Are you sure he's here?" Giovanni asked
"Well, I heard he was somewhere in this area"
"Area sounds vague. And what would anyone be doing here?"
"Robbing?"
"Right"
Giovanni sighed as this wasnt a pleasing answer. This Vagabond of a guy who knew what he was like. Giovanni hoped this wasnt Eclipse, the edgelord child, but one of the more sensible ones. Either way, whoever it was they were strong in their own way. And Giovanni wanted people working for him. A business opportunity he couldnt pass up.
"Which one do you think it is?" Giovanni asked his right hand man
"Well, I doubt it is Eclipse. That boy doesnt seem like the stealthy type. So it must be one of the europeans. They were the sensible ones"
"They dont frequent the villain chat. I guess I should introduce them to technology" he sighed and looked around and then finally looked up a building
"Sooo, Antonio... what are the chances of our potential ally being up?"
"What makes you say that, Boss?"
Giovanni pointed to a hole in a building he saw infront of them a bit distance away. The other men turned his head and saw the same thing "Ou"
"I command you to call him"
"Eh?"
Giovanni sighed and looked down. He saw a pebble and decided to pick it up and throw it through the hole to see if anyone would react to it, or if it was just a random hole. The italian threw the pebble and decided to wait a few seconds to see if he'll get a reaction
"Nice toss, Boss"
Well, another reaction

For a moment, Ed didn't realize anything was wrong... but then suddenly, there was a loud *CLONK!* of a rock hitting the floor. Like babies disturbed just before naptime, the frogs started ribbiting like their lives depended on it. "What?! What is it?! Danger!?" Ed started waving his head around like a madman, pretty as surprised and worried as the rest of them, until a swift "CROAK!" From the madam herself calmed them down. "Ah, silly me... Wouldn't be a clonk if something big made in, right?" He gave a small grin, as he hopped out of the snack stand, walking in the middle of the entrance hall... The floor was about as cold as outside, frustrating but have to do with what you got. Luckily, such a floor also didn't exactly include much else, so the criminal rock was easy to find. "Birds don't chuck rocks through windows...!"
A bit of panic settled in Ed, as he proceeded to walk over to the glass doors... the doors were locked sure, he wouldn't need to mind who was outside. But there was just this little bit of niggling curiousity about what it was. The paranoia. It was what made him such a good spy AND a watchmaster. He usually didn't trust things at face value. Although he did have his weaknesses...
Like momentarily forgetting that glass doors worked both ways. A fact that didn't hit him yet. He leaned forward against the door, pressing his arms against it. His slime froze a little bit, as he proceeded to glare and try to see who was disturbing his frogs calm time...

A pebble was tossed and yet no reply. It was frustrating. Either there was an oddly empty building with a hole in the window or the person up there did not approach to check out who did that.
Giovanni looked at the window and then at his assistant
"Why dont you shout and get him to react." Giovanni ordered Antonio, who was surprised by that sudden order "Ehh?! Why me??" he asked.
"Because I say so. Just say something spanish, we'll see if its Eclipse or someone else!" he beckoned
The spainiard looked up and wondered what to say. He thought for a moment and said or rather he yelled to the window "Hay alguien ahí arriba!"
"Well that was.... to the point" Giovanni commented as he looked up "Either someone will come to answer or Eclipse will come to shit all over us with his foul mouth"
"Or no one comes"
"We'll give it another 5 minutes. If no one comes, we leave"
Antonio sighed and really hope someone was up there.
"I want an ally and someone who knows these streets. I want to learn what they can do" he then looks at Antonio "I need allies. Ishtar and Daffodil are not enough"
Spanish: is anyone up there

This was probably the most unstealthy Ed had ever been: He was pretty much leaning against a see through object, and could see two men in the street clearly. Two men, who were just hanging outside. Were they punks, jerks just throwing rocks at buildings? ...Honestly very savage-like, if that was the case. Well, honestly, he could just probably ignore them, and they would go away. Ed took his fingers off the glass, shaking the coldness out of them in mild annoyance, the under side of his jaw bulging for a calming croak to the rest of the frogs...
Until he heard a shout, that sent a shiver down his spine. To anybody else, it would have probably been just random different languaged babble in the streets, but in this case, it was a clear message: "is anyone in there!?" Or in his mind "We KNOW you are up there"! He took an erratic step backwards, only to bang his body in the window, most like confirming to whoever was outside, that indeed, there was someone inside! "mierde!" He spat... who the hell was this guy shouting for him?! He hadn't been that criminally active in spain in ages!
"SAPOS! TIME TO HIDE! THEY KNOW WHERE WE ARE!" The frogs started panicking, as they hid under different snacks in the snack shack, with ed diving in there for good measure to grab some before he could leave... "Need to make sure I have enough food... Sapos gonna freeze to death othervise...!" Meanwhile, Rosita was clearly a little bit dissapointed. Once again, Ed was in a panic, and this time, he wouldn't be able to do much. So Rosita compared to other frogs, instead hopped out of the snack shack, and proceeded to stand in the middle of the room, like some sort of guard... After all, the people were gonna come in, right?
ps: At this point its probably obvious that they should know there is indeed someone inside.

Yep, he was there. They saw his silhouette as he took a peek outside. Giovanni sighed and motioned Antonio to follow him, they entered the building and went to investigate. They climbed the stairs to the floor where that hole was, and soon arrived to the room, they opened the door and the first thing they saw was a frog in the middle of the room
Giovanni sighed
"I think judging from our accent you can tell we're no cops. Now come out, we just want to talk to you frog man" he said mildly annoyed as there was no reason to be cautious and hide.
Antonio decided to chime in "Si, you are one of the Vagabonds, right? Why dont you come and talk. We just want to help you and your froggy friends!"
Giovanni couldnt remember which one had the frogs. It wasnt Eclipse. So it was either the penniles frenchman or a spainiard. Giovanni took a gamble and guessed he's french, that explains the frogs and the cowardly hiding
"Yep, definitely french" he thought to himself
Antonio approached the small frog to poke it but stopped when his Boss yelled at him to stop
"Moron! Dont you know anything about frogs! They are poisonous!"
"Oh.... sorry" he backs away from the frog
Yeah, and now I imagine by the time the two arrived that Ed sorta managed to hide

Rosita glared at the duo, like a frustrated mom. "Reeeeee...." Was sounding like one too... although in this regard it was just a message to Ed himself. The duo was in. Not that he was deaf. Just a little bit worried. "Accents, Those are not role specific!" The frog gnarled from the snack bar. Admittedly, he was a bit annoyed too. "And neither is being in danger..." Reason why villains weren't usually buddy buddy with each other... one could easily snap the others neck if they just got close enough. Besides, Ed was afraid, it wasn't exactly the sort of situation Ed wanted to be in. These folks just asking him to come out... bah, who did they think he was?!
However, out of their random babble, Rosita screamed a bit louder, when one of the men tried to poke it! "KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF ROSITA!" He raised his head out, slamming his hands upon the desk like a madman. Although, now he just look like a weird shopkeeper in the middle of a frozen swamp, as the other frogs panicked. Eds face curdled as the underside of his jaw bulged. "CRRRRRRRRRRRRRROAK!" The frogs went quiet, as Rosita bounced over to him, Ed lifting her up, and placing her on his head... The hair on top of it had always made for the most comfy seat.
"Well, good job senors... you really got me to come out!" He blinked a couple of times, like an embarrassed girl. "For now you have just spooked me and my friends so, I wouldn't call that exactly helping!" That, and the annoying cold still lingered. Chili flavoured snacks didn't help whatsoever. "If you wanna help, give me your coat! Or atleast your hat! Rositas freezing, and lips flapping do not exactly warm a body up!" He leaned over the desk. "And tell me why you feel like a bullying an old Sapo..."

Giovanni spoke that judging from their accents, he could deduce they are not cops. After all, what Japanese goverment would take friggin immigrants. But the frog man said accents are not role specific.
"Good point" the mafioso spainiard said
They said they wouldnt harm the frog man who was hiding, but alas, the careful frog man trusted no one. Antonio aproached one of the frogs, to poke and pet it, but his Boss stopped him saying that frogs can be poisonous, which caused the spanish henchman to pull away and apologize. But it seems the gesture startled the frog to make an ugly sound. And in turn it caused their frog man to peek out of his hiding place. They finally found him
Giovanni was glad, finally Antonio's stupidity paid off. And then he also learned this is a spainiard due to the 'senors'. Frog man also said that so far they spooked him and his froggy buddies and that isnt helping. Giovanni clapped his hands "Ah si. I apologize. I did not mean to scare you" he then grabbed Antonios hat and tossed it over to the man "Hey!" "Shush"
He then turned back to the frog man
"As I was saying. We want to help you. Us villains should stick together. So work for me. A man of your talents is always welcome. I can not only provide you with money, but also a home for you and your froggy friends. You will not need to worry about this damp coldness anymore." Giovanni said
He said what he wanted, and he also said right away what he can get from working with him, money and a home for him and his frogs. He can use that money he earns to buy himself some food and froggy food. He can have anything if he is smart

...Ed was actually a little bit surprised that the guy just threw his hat towards him. If he knew this would have been the case, he would have probably asked for the coat. "Alright, Rosita, Get under it..." Of course the hat was too big for the little bit bigger than average toad, but it did certainly cover it a little bit. Not that rosita liked it either way. Caps weren't very well insulated...
However, Eds question was answered with a request... A request that had him give this boy the most tired and grumbly look in a while, before he let out a mildly quiet "krrrrr..." Couple of the frogs hopped on over with a bag of chips on their back. Ed proceeded to open it, as he threw a snack into his mouth, closing his eyes. Frog fact: frogs use their eyes to squash down their food. Ed however did it just because of the frog genes... And the awkwardness of the situation. "I have seen plenty of cartoons like this... Savage liked em!" He tipped the hat. "A kid goes around, gets senors and senoritas, beats bad guy, all that jazz! Asked random people to join him too!" Pirate king and all that jazz. For a moment Eds voice was almost hilarified...
Only for his eyes and grin to flop downwards almost immediately. "...And here you are, trying to recruit me out of PITY." Honestly, he could have probably been angrier if it wasn't for the cold. The chili in the chips was starting to get his mouth warmer atleast. "I ain't some sickly ol puta! I ain't free pickings, just cause I am feeling horrid!" He trembled in annoyance. Slight ree echoed in his throat, as Rosita croaked his own whines.
"Besides... I've worked for way bigger criminals than you Ninós, comprende?" He scratched his neck. He had used a lot of energy to shout. "Got folks after me for quite a few reasons. one more would be a suicide. No moolah helps at the point I am in." Ed really didn't give a heck about the money, and as much as she offered a safe haven for him, it was pretty much for becoming a lapdog yet again. Hunted, and eventually his frogs would die. That, or it would just lead them to throwing this old toad away like Savage and Jean already did... "Leave me alone, I have to prepare for hibernation..."

Giovanni rolled his eyes when the frog man as he said Giovanni wanted to recruit him out of pity. And how he worked for bigger criminals. Yadda yadda. Bla bla and all that jazz.
"Wrong. Wrong wrong. On so many levels wrong" he then went to say why he wanted him "I want you because you are one of the more capable and sane Villains that worked with those Vagabonds. I heard about your old groups ventures and... chaos... You mentioned the name. Yes... Savage. He was the wild and rowdy leader. I dont know what happened to him. I dont have the details. But I do know your old group is no more. And the rest just went their own way and abandoned you. Bah! No much for teamwork and comraderie." he looked at the froggy villain "Unlike those idiots. I value all skill and I want to help all villains. And that includes you. We are from the same continent after all and we're both villains. Why wouldnt I want to recruit you and help you?" Giovanni asked the frog man
Froggy then said that he has to prepare for hibernation "Where will you do it? Here? Or do you want a better place for your frogs... for Rosita?" he asked |
