With all the jobs well done, Ed and the rest of them, had finally gotten a couple of days off from all the chaotic things that they were doing again. It was a big change of pace after a long boat trip. And like any big change, there were gonna be growing pains. In Eduardos case, he had sort of gotten used to seeing the same frogs daily doing their own thing. He could guarantee himself seeing the frog he left to keep watch of some part of the boat being there next day. The same frog always crying out for a bigger meal in its little aquarium, as he came with a big bucket to dunk it on them. Ryung was there to offer healing whenever any of the frogs ended up being in anything bigger than a scar damage, and everything was fine...
He had clearly gotten a little bit soft. "Alright, Rosita, Dood, cabaret, Nino, Gonzales... Hop on. Before Savage comes up with the next plan!" The five frogs, one of them significantly bigger, proceeded to latch onto Ed as he climbed down the side of the boat, and proceeded to rush over to the city at some sort of pace. Instead of a raincoat, this time he was just wearing more slack clothes, which left a lot of space under them to hide the bunch. In a way, it made him look like some sort of short punk. Propably a little bit less recognizable then the bright yellow alternative.
Now, he wasn't exactly a known presence at the park yet. But there were certainly hints that people kept an eye on him. Luckily most of them were kids with a bit too much time on their hands, and with an actual ear for listening when he warned of the dangers of 'catching wild things you know nothing about'. One of the kids had ended up in the hospital because he wanted to show others he was tough. Ed thought that he was exactly that, since he was still alive after all of it. He had outright apologized later for bullying 'nice misters frogs'.
The croaks under his clothes were getting impatient, but luckily he was already at the quite big pool at the park. He lifted his pants, letting the frogs hop off and frolic, letting out a loud "CROAK!". And soon, other frogs started to come to the sides, ribitting in answer. A tear grew in his eye. Man, some of them were outright calling him uncle! Just looking all these happy creatures bouncing about reminded him, that things weren't nearly as bad as they were on the boat. A moist area like this was a way better growth spot, and they had way more other frogs to hang around with. "Oh, drum, Have you seen jazz? Oh, there she is... And where might bass be..." He pulled out a little food packet, as Rosita hopped off his head, and sat there like some sort of majesty... "Gotta feed all of you equally..."
...Counting the frogs he knew, one was missing... He actually turned his head, leaving the other frogs screaming for food a bit. "Tuba? Where are you?" He whispered... and then he heard barking. His head snapped into position... and There was a bit chunky toad, and a big wolf like dog outright throwing the poor thing about, like playing with it, as it screamed in agony! "HEY! Leave him alone, you overgrown rodent!" But an immediate chomp afterwards ended the playsession, as the dog started chewing its meal, and tried to walk away! The frog of a man went into a bit of a panic, as he rushed over, grabbed the dog by its ears, as it whimpered, loudly and tried to wrestle it down! "TUBA! DON'T WORRY! I AM HERE!"
But soon, the dog seemingly just fell over, whimpering, gasping for air, As ed just grabbed the frog out of its mouth... only to see clear bite marks sunk into its flesh. "TUBA!" He caressed the frog against his face, sobbing...
As a lady came around and screamed. "NAGI!" She went over, and patted the dog, who was getting colder by the second. "You... You killed my dog! You heavy handed freak of nature!" Ed turned his face towards the lady, clearly insulted. "Me, a freak of nature?! YOU let your dog run wild and EAT my frog! You yourself did this to yourself!" "Oh, shut up! You don't own these frogs!" "WELL, what if I do!?" "It means, you killed my dog just because you mishandled your own pet! Who lets a frog run free in a public park!" Sapos just now sad face was starting to brim with anger. He looked frustratedly toward the lady, as he wound his frog holding arm backwards... If nothing was stopping him, he would slap the lady with the frog!

Every time one goes to the park its either for some picnic or some party or some other sort of dumb family get together, resulting in probably one of the most dullest ways to celebrate a birthday in Tachibana's opinion. People also go to the park to clear their minds and just walk along the path or sidewalk, letting themselves be lost in the carefully constructed illusion of nature and the calming balm of the outside. Its a bit hard to clear her mind, though. What with the constant forming train of thoughts she has. It's a bit hard not to, like even right now with her quirk deactivated so she can handle this peace and quiet without being bombarded with constant noises left and right, it's still hard to ignore the ambivance. Every place has that, ya know. Either its the street light hum and the birds chirping, the cicadas loud cicada'ing, or some people messing around near the river or the footsteps on the pavement, its got its own kinda of flavor. She hates it.
Why is she here in the park again? Break time? She adjusts her collar as she taps and slightly waves her cane on the ground, sitting down on a bench just trying to relax. She's in work mode so no killing, and that's kinda making her antsy. But why this spot? Some people near work were talking about how there were weird poisonous frogs around and, well, she was kinda tempted to just...see how it would feel like. Well that was more for night time...yeah she was considering waiting here until midnight to grab one of those frogs and see how badly it messes her up. Who knows, maybe it'll be horrible? Can't wait.
...Hmm, that noise though. It's kinda loud, even when not accelerated. It's like someone screaming in fear. Not her business to check out, but she is a busy bee and she loves talking with others who are screaming in fear. She grabs out a pen with a red cap on it and starts to chew on it. Thanks to self-conditioning, anything 'red' will activate her quirk. A cap won't make her whole body grey, just the eye bags and interior of the ears. Luckily her glasses can hide the-GAH, THE FUCKING AMBIVANCE. ITS LOUD, FUCK..GOD ITS GREAT. She slightly recoils back from her new range of hearing as she lets out a small laugh, getting off the bench to walk towards the new source of noise. She adjusts her blazer to show her pin. Gotta show it off somhow.
"Yo, you two. This is a public park. Not a 'two people ' park." Two people park? Come on now, get better material, brain. "What's going on here?" She glances at the ground and...oof. "...Ah." Outwardly, she's a bit shocked and confused to see the sight of a dog on the ground, dying. Inwardly, though...she's finding it all hilarious. Dogs eat random ass shit all the time, finally took this one to die from it. "...How did that happen?" She inquires the lady and the weird frog guy holding a frog-frog guy? Is this the guy? Aw shit! Yeah! It was! Jackpot!
The lady told him what had happened, and the frog guy refuted it. "...Hmm. I mean, it is a public park; the fact that you were arguing over it means it wasn't intentional so we can't file it under assault and battery...nor was it done by a legally or illegally owned product since the frogs dont appear to belong to him really...this is really a gray area we're in."
The lady looks at her confused. "...Who are you?"
"Huh? Oh, I work for a firm, sorry jus-just thinking out loud. Anyway!" She turns to the frog man. "What's your name? How can I help this situation out?"

Suddenly a lady interrupted the fight. Ed blinked his eyes, almost like he had been snapped from his anger, his eyes shifting towards the frog he was now holding by a leg! "AH, ah, aaah..." He pressed it against his face. Man, he was about to hit a woman with the corpse of his friend... and the worst of all, almost attacking someone just because he was frustrated! That would have left him with the hard job of finding a new place to take his friends to relax! All for a stupid dog dying at a bad time! Honestly, he would have probably kicked it, if it's owner and this weird woman weren't standing next to him.
Speaking of... the new lady, started babbling on and on, about how this was a public park, and How it couldn't be filed under assault and battery... That and she pointed out the frogs might not be his... His head notched a bit to the side, as in chorus with the lady whose dog was now dying horribly, He could only say "...Who are you?" Honestly, the answer she gave just made him roll his eyes. Lawyers... The sort of people who dug anybody into a pit to get some money in. And sadly, her attention seemed to be directly on him.
"Eeeeh..." Yeah, this was not the time to go and hand his name to random people... Eduardo... ed... d... duh... "Duran... Duran Toro." He showed the frog corpse to her, Poking the huge wounds left by the dogs teeth, caressing them like the poor thing was still alive, and then giving a hateful glance towards the dead dog. "And I would appreciate if you would get this lady to leave me alone to mourn! I have other business to do anyway..."
At this point the lady woke up from her own little trance of confusion, And proceeded to look at the duo agape! "B-b-but YOU DIDN'T EVEN SEE IT!" She shouted at this supposed lady from a firm. As she proceeded to point at Ed Furiously! "He grabbed Nagis ear for no other reason, but to get that already dead frog from its mouth! And also tried to rip its mouth open! That had to do something to him!" One side of Eds mouth opened, as he gurgled like a platypus in annoyance. "You expect me to have the strength to kill a dog by ear touch?" The lady nodded! "I know for a fact, that the frogs here usually aren't poisonous! I took Nagi here countless times, and he has occasionally brought them to me as a gift!" Hearing that made Ed once again squeeze his frog harder. "Aaaaaaand?" "I am implying YOU poisoned my poor boy! Just cause you dislike dogs! Don't you!?"
Eds body almost flopped to stick straight, completely different from his usual hunchback like walk cycle. He looked absolutely ridiculous. "WELL!? You've been here before, and my dog has not hurt anybody else in his pure life!" ...Admittedly, Ed couldn't really refute that. As much as he liked animals, he hated ones who hadn't even learned how to avoid something poisonous when they saw it. "Well, none of the frogs usually attack animals unprovoked. Besides, what do you expect a frog to do when a creature 10 times bigger than it strikes?" "To probably avoid it! These frogs must be absolutely stupid to expect nothing to happen with Nagi close-by!"
Maaaan, Eds nervous were absolutely going wild. He started taking steps away towards the other frogs, who had pretty much swarmed his bucket. "Grrrrgh..." This situation was very annoying.

Wow. These two are loud. She’s kinda mentally reeling back from these two going back and forward over whose fault it was. Something about her dog Nagi or something, and this guy shoving the poor victims corpse in front of her enhanced eyes. Even when tinted in red, the features of the frogs were quite vibrant and expressive. Well, expressive for a dead corpse at least. Kinda tempted to touch it now...would it still affect her? Can she even do it right now in public? Imagine the weird responses she'll get from the highstrung lady from it. Speaking about the lady, CHRIST SHES LOUD! SHES LIKE A MEGAPHONE POINTED RIGHT AT HER EARS! Well to her enhanced ears at least. Complaining about the frogs and stuff and wanting to push this weird frog guy to culpability for her dogs dumbass decision. The guys starting to get nervous (or annoyed. A bit hard to determine the right expression he’s having on account of the lady yelling and blowing out her eardrums) as he steps back with the rest of his frogs. Clearly she won’t let this rest...alright, guess she can step in.
“Alright...alright...calm down you two…” she grabs a cardholder from the interior of her jacket and pulls out two cards to hand to the two, both probably confused. “Just in case, it’s a good firm. Anyway...First things first. I…don’t think you two want to take this to court. First off...why? Pet cases are lower ranked in importance and often take a while to resolve and by then, you probably get another Nagi or...Tuba. Second thing...any action in the park done unintentionally is an even more gray area...and third.” She walks up to Ed. “Mind if I borrow this for a quick second?” No matter what he says, she grabs the corpse (somewhat quickly, due to her slightly transformed state) and holds it with her right hand. “Doubt these frogs are poisonous, or at least not how you think they are. Your dog must have choked on the mucus. Simple as that. It’s a shame but dogs are known to eat stuff. Guess he just got unlucky this time. Unless of course, you wanna try touching it to prove it’s poisonous?” She looks at the woman
Wow. This feels weird. Mentally her body is sending weird signals to her. Also weird feelings. Like...wow this kinda hurts a bit! Neat! Great! If it’s still alive or if she keeps holding onto it, maybe she ll get even worse! Awesome! Knew this was a good idea to do from the start! The mental Libra is laughing her head off as Tachibana lets out a simple smile to indicate her growing (dis)pleasure.

the lady asked them to calm down, leading to Ed showing his lower teeth. "Please." The lady was a little bit annoyed. "Alright, alright... keep on babbling while my dog is dying..." For now, they may as well listen to her. In eds case it was more because he legit was tired of feeling under pressure. The card she gave however, ed didn't even check. Just putting it in his pocket. His impression clearly wanted her to get on with her explanation. The lady however, did look at the card. "Hmh, so you weren't lying..."
As she proceeded to explain, Ed on one hand seemed curious enough about it to not get completely bored. So, pet killing was a very minor crime in some regards... That would make some situations way easier to handle that's for sure. Apparently they could just get another pet too... but that didn't really resonate with Ed too well. "You implying tuba was replaceable? The little nino had his own thoughts and everything, own actions. it's not like he was some dumb worker ant, just working for the queen and food!" The lady surprisingly agreed... although in her own way. "Besides, this guy KILLED Nagi! Just letting him with his weird ass creatures go would be idiotic! Besides, another dog would be perfect for waiting!" Ed's head tipped a bit to the side in annoyance.
The second reason seemed like common sense. "Like I said. Accidents happen. Although the thing who died deserved it." "SEE!? You would let this guy go!?" Admittedly it was kind of hard to justify a guy whose frog just killed a dog, and he was so alright with it being sane...
The third reason... well, Ed wasn't happy about having the poor victim in his arms being grabbed so willy nilly. "HEY! Tuba wouldn't like you doing that to it!" It hung all loose, as Ed tried to fight back a little. Curse being short. For the lady this was somewhat hilarious. This tiny man was seemingly getting reprimanded for what he had done. Ed himself, was more worried about the fact, that the corpse of his pal was handled like this! Heck, the lady outright implied that his frogs poison was weak or something! There was a certain type of grimace on his face, like he wanted to reprimand this lady for daring to say something like that, but on the other hand, he really shouldn't! "LET GO OF TUBA!"
However, as it was touched, the frog immediately released its effects... Libra would feel really really hot, and her body would feel wobbly, almost like horribly drunk. The poison was really effective, even on a single frog... Although, it did seem to be more of a neutralizing poison. Her body just felt like it didn't want to put much force into anything, and she would fall from a light breeze. Like something was holding her body back. But she wouldn't have hard time at all staying awake. She would have propably been able to even take a punch to the face. The different question was if she would be standing after one.
"EW,WHY!?" The lady however jumped back. "Why would I wanna touch a dead frog, that's disgusting!" That and just looking at her laughing was making her freak out a little... "What's so funny about this!? I know this guy is a big freaking weirdo, but...!" The weirdest thing however was happening in the background... the assumed dead dog... was seemingly kicking its foot, and breathing again... Although currently, he had gone unnoticed by the others being so freaked out about whatever Libra was doing.

Geez this guy is making it harder. It's a frog, dude. A weird frog that may or may be poisoned, but still. At least he showed more connection and feeling to their 'pet' than this lady. Come on now. Sheesh. And then he said the dog deserved it. Bro, bro, bro, bro. Come on now. You're saying easy statements to be picked and choose from for the lady to use in her witness statement! Just give her the damn frog!
"ehehe....eeeh, s-sorry, it just feels slippery."
Alright so maybe she left out a small laugh. She couldn't help herself....no seriously she couldn't help herself she was feeling weird now. First off, Great! This is what she was looking for! Sure the guy might have been struggling to let her hold the frog, and he really looked like he took it the wrong way (like come on man, trying to help ya, dumbass), but it was super worth it for this feeling! But...maybe she expected like way worse life risking effects. Like, dunno, blood from the face or weird spots forming on her skin or any other weird frog disease that isn't death. But this is alright as well, it feels like she's burning up and shes being shaking around in a furnace. GREAT! Of course she can't help but let out a small laugh. "Sounds like youre afraid of touching a simple frog. Come on miss, look at me, i'm not dying. If you try to get this guy on that alone, it's not gonna work." She smiles as she hands back the frog...
....as she hands back the frog.
Aaaaaaaassss....shee.......hands back....the frooooooooooog-shes not giving back the frog. Man this feels weird. She kinda feels tempted not to give it back. She's also burning up a little bit inside, like the small weird feeling blistered into a weird fever. So thats what this frog does...interesting. If she holds onto it more, would it make her whole body numb? Would she lie on the ground slowly wasting away? Man what a cool dream. Then again, she still needs to live for her job, so sadly the little guy has to return to its owner. She mentally relents and hands back the frog to the guy. "I'm sorry for grabbing your friend. Hope Tuba gets a good burial" She gives him a smile as she struggles to not start wobbling around and collapse on the ground. "As for you, miss..." She's really, really, really, trying to stay standing, but it's really hard! Slight sweat forms on her forehead. Does she need to use more of her quirk to offset this weird feeling? Eh, naaaah, it's summer, she's wearing a suit blazer. It's passible. "I really feel sorry for Nagi, but at the end of the day, you'll just spend more money on this offset rather than just walking away and leave this man be. A waste, am I right? On him, especially, of your status?" Sorry guy, but she's really trying hard to appeal to this lady's apathic nature, so put up with it. Someone not as vain as her would pick up on the sarcasm. "Hmmm, if not...how about this. Let me just handle this with the firm, and you two can agree to leave it be and not see each other. No involvment from you two." She's gonna do jack shit, she's just making shit up (lawyers dont even do this to this degree) so she can talk to the frog guy alone. "For now we should probably get your dog to somewhere less open. Speaking of which..."
She turns her to the dog lying on the ground. If her quirk was being used in full, she would be noticing the dog breathing. But she was keeping it low and also being numbed by the frog so she can't notice it. "You need help with him, or do you want to do it yourself?"

Ed watched, as the lady was acting very weirdly, with his frog in her hands. It was pretty clear, that the poison was taking effect. She was starting to look so red, that it couldn't have been anything else. Soon, enough she should have the frog... but no, she was still standing! "Come on, I already told you! The poor thing doesn't deserve this!" Was the lady stronger than he thought!? Admittedly, quirked people were a bit tougher than usual, without hero like training even, but this lady was a lawyer! The kind of person who never really saw combat anywhere! At this point she should already dropped the toad! It was normal self preservation!
Momentarily it kept seeming like she was giving the little lad back, only to pull her hand back at the last moment! And Ed was looking as desperate as ever. "This is called bullying!" The lady on the side was now just staring all sorts of confused at what the heck was happening... as Libra EVENTUALLY gave the frog back to him. Ed clasped him tightly, in a hug, making the kind of bloated toads eyes bulge. The thing was almost plushie at this point. The lady took on Libras explanation, how unworth it this guy was to sue... "sigh... I guess so. The guy probably doesn't even have any money, so it would be more of a waste for me... ALTHOUGH! He is still a murderer! Even if just a pet murderer! He did manhandle the poor dog!" She pointed at Ed... Who seemingly was doing little pirouettes as he had finally gotten his frog back. He was looking so ecstatic, that she was getting ideas... "...Are you sure they aren't poisonous?"
However, she seemed fine with the offer to carry the dog away. After all, carrying a full grown dog corpse was kind of disgusting an idea alone. However, as soon as she went to lift it... the dog licked her face! "NAGI!" The dog barked, and Ed stopped spinning... The dog proceeded to just happily bounce about as Ed looked at his toad in disappointment. "...And I thought the poison was strong enough..." Yeah, in the end, the poison was more of a self defence mechanism. He didn't know the chemical specifics, but he did know that the frogs emitted it, so that their foes stayed away from them, and if they didn't, the poison would guarantee the beasts didn't get the rest of them. True natural selection at its finest... although it didn't make him any happier, as he walked over to his bucket, dunking the frog corpse into it.
"Well, Since Nagi is alive, May as well forget the whole thing! Thank you for the offer..." Honestly, she was very relieved that she didn't need this lawyers help. The lady offered her hand to shake for Libra... and if she did, well as she would leave, she would see the lady wobble a little bit dangerously. Guess the blood from the frogs wounds had been left on her hands, making contact with her... it almost looked like the dog was pulling her quite roughly...
Ed meanwhile, Just proceeded to cuddle up some toads who were now just hanging at the edge of the bucket, looking confuddled at their dead brother. "Well... Unfortunately, the perpetrator didn't die. And now, she is just running away... But atleast her dog suffered some consequences..." He took the scoop, and scooped up a bit of food from under the frog. "First things first... I will not hold your meal further! After all, it was my fault for not getting Tuba out of danger fast enough..." His lip curled and shook, as tears were welling up in his eyes... "Then I will bury him into the pool, since he probably liked it so much that he was slow to answer my call!" He looked towards the skies nodding to himself... As the frogs started swarming the bucket on their own... "Sigh... Going so proudly towards your dead comrade... This kind of behaviour could make you die in a real situation you know..." Well, for some of the frogs it was like that. He was just ignoring the croaks of the impatient more hungry ones.

Christ this lady’s gullible. Here she was expecting some sort of resistance like "this guy still killed my dog, I need to sue him!" or something like that. Nah, she just went 'fuck it' and decided to take up on that offer. The guy's not helping what with his weird love for his frogs, but hey. Love for one's pets is still love, and ya can't blame love. Like you can't, since love is commonly depicted as a red heart, and you can't hate the color red. ehheehee...red heart...thinking about that is making her mouth water...fo-focus, Tachibana. Not now. You're gonna make yourself even more gray. Plus that weird feeling's still there. Nausea, a fever. numbness….the good shit right here. Where did this guy even get these frogs? Questions fofofofofor later, aw shit think it's kicking in a little bit more. She slightly wipes her forehead, hiding her (not)discomfort.
"Yeah sure, let me just….hmm?" She looks at the previously thought to be dead dog, as the lady went to go pick it up (like hell was she gonna help her out, she was just gonna watch her struggle while stroking her ego and telling her she can do it on her own), who suddenly got up and started to lick her hand. The fuck!? It's not dead?! Tachibana glares at the frog guy somewhat disappointed, and for a split second could have swore that he too was also disappointed. Guess they expected a shit ton of stuff from the frog, and its fucking failed them. How dare it. And now the lady's even more stupid for letting it pass. God. This chick pisses her off. Guess she didn't need her help? Fucking...ya know what. She still has that gunk on her hand. "Yeah, sure." She gives off a polite smile as she returns the handshake, and she smirked a little mentally as the lady starts to stumble off away. Thanks dog for the support.
She then turns her head and faces the guy who is apparently doing some weird ass monologue to his frogs. Guess he wanted that dog dead as well. Shame that they didn;t get what they wanted. She walks up to him, who is still doing that weird movie/anime moment looking at the sky. "She's a riot...Shame the dog didn't die." She mutters somewhat quietly, for only him to hear. "Is that the best your frogs can do or are there more dangerous ones you got?" Her eyes slightly glow in red as she adjusts her glasses.

Ed turned to look awkwardly at the lady. "Ah, you are still here..." He rubbed his head at her outright wishing the dog was dead too. "It is unfortunate yes... But that is sadly sometimes how the circle of life goes..." He looked at the rest of his frogs, still enjoying food, while some of them were stuck outside of the bucket, because the others were taking too much space. "As strong as my friends are, they sometimes just can't keep up, without me telling them what to do every second... But the poor things try their best... And they do train whenever I ask them to..."
The ladies next question however seemed more like an insult at first. "You saying my frogs are weak?" Physically maybe, but they had paralyzed that dog for a moment for hecks sake... but her question did tickle his curiousity. "Well... You did touch a dead one..." His arm scooped downwards to grab a purple one. The frog twitched and struggled outright biting him. "Ah... you still haven't eaten? Sorry... This will take just a moment. I will give you some food personally afterwards..."
The frog sat on his hand, as Ed pushed it towards the lady. "Now, this is one of my more aggressive frogs... not top tier in that regard, but in top ten atleast." The frog hopped towards Libra. Clearly it was in a rush to get its food. "Naturally, its poison should be for more aggressive maneuvers too... But that's just my theory." After all, there were some frogs that used their poisons to their advantage like that. They killed something, and then let it rot, until it attracted flies... or if it was something mouse sized, they could just eat it whole. Unfortunately, Bass wasn't one of them... but he surely had the temper of one.

Pff he trains them. That's kinda cute in a dumb way. They really are his pets, interesting. She's not getting the whole appeal of having frogs as a pet, but what can ya do, other than killing the man for no plausible reason? She's killed people for far pettier reasons, aka none at all as it were a simple flick of a wrist. So just killing this one by dragging him to an alleyway and then claim the frogs did him in would make sense....buuuuut it's still daylight, out in the open, and she kinda was hoping if there were a stronger frog in his arsenal. She can't just choke slam the guy and melt his face off this instant.
"Hmm, a dead one still managed to do that though...gotta give it props." She mutters, folding her arms steady in an attempt to keep herself standing and not falling on the ground. "Imagine what a live one can do...can probably make someone foam at the mouth in agony..." A slight smirk arises on her face, with her shaking her head in an attempt to hide it considering that they're still in public. "You still gotta be careful with them. Ya don't want anymore attention from that kind of person, they'll never let you hear the end of it. Trust me, I know some from around work that act like that..." she mutters with distain.
She adjusts her frames as he pushes a frog towards her. "Aggressive, huh...." She looks down at the frog hopping in her direction. She's kinda tempted to touch it. Eh, in for a penny, in for a dime or whatever the fuck that saying is. She crouches a bit to poke the frog, seeing if it really is as aggressive as he claims. "I can see why you like them. They seem like nice lil trouble makers...how long does one have to be touching it to be effected, by the way?"

Hearing Libra give a positive image for the frog that had died made Ed smile... "Yeah, Tuba was a chunky one... beautiful image of something lady frogs would like. Albeit, sadly that was probably why the dog wanted him so much. He sort of looks like a chewtoy..." As awkward as it was to even think, whilst looking at the frog corpse in the bucket. Suddenly, he reached out into the bucket, and pulled out the corps, with one of the frogs dangling from it. "NO! No! Down! Or you'll end up like ricky!" He tapped the frogs head, and the frog instinctively screamed, as it fell on the grass... it clearly wasn't happy being dropped from the bucket.
Ed always liked praises, and this lady had taken his poison face first, so she clearly had the experience. This softened him up quite a bit. "Oh, don't you worry about them... I have friends to take care of things if I ever get in trouble..." He nodded a little bit towards his frogs, and smirked. "They are very loyal." Admittedly, he wasn't talking about just his frogs. But a little bit of subtlety never hurt to keep people interested. Being able to talk about something he enjoyed was an experience he didn't want to miss. "There were these kids once who kept bullying me, buuut, they left me alone, eventually..."
Ed proceeded to squat looking at bass. The tall grass was giving it some trouble in being quick. He really needed to teach them to jump higher if they were on the offensive. This sort of issue would be awkward later. Libra however was very happy to touch it... Only for the frog to bite down on her finger... it hurt as much expected for something without teeth. "Aaaw, he thinks you are finger food..." He said it like talking to a baby, poking the thing on the back. The frog didn't release its hold. "Troublemakers is a strong word... isn't it bass dearie...~" Ed pursed his lips, and wiggled his face in a freaky fashion.
Another biological question hit, however. And ed for a moment seemed very alright with telling it out. "Well... ironically devouring makes things a little bit slower, since the blood needs to enter your system for it to spread... However, since veins are all over your body they usually just need to uh..." Then he realized something. "Wait a second..." He walked a little bit closer to her, and reached out to grab her arm... "Now why would you want to know something sooooo specific like that?" He would lift the arm up... and notice the frog dangling on it again. "...Ooooooh. Skin contact is very VERY quick... let me tell you that much." She would propably feel the effect soon enough again.
"Don't worry, I assume you are semi tough, since you didn't die earlier... Should have expected that from a lawyer. You guys are even slimier than the frogs sometimes..." Ed licked his lips surprisingly quickly. More because his lips were drying than anything else... "I assume... customers like that are usual fare?"

Gah gross its trying to eat her nail. Apparently this is a sign that she's....finger food? Wha? The fuck does that mean, frog guy? Does that mean it's gonna try to devour her whole hand off? is that it? Can she like...regrow that? How powerful is that healing thing she got, anyway? Does it work like a staple, i.e just grab the hand and slap it on the stump and see it do its magic? Even when she was experimenting her acid's effects with her own body, she never really, ya know, burned it completely off. Questions for waywaywaywaywayway-this frog won't let go. Hmm.
"Ah." She notes, with more sweat forming on her forehead. "...Hm. Gooooooooood tooooooo know. I mean, I just gotta...hmm. Your little friend seems to like me a bit too much...not sure if that's good or not...hmm." Wow she's feeling the effect right about now. It's... a bit more harsher than usual. She digs it, but still. Gotta keep up a vague notion that she's not a serial killer who loves this kind of stuff around other people, ya know. This guy...well lets be honest. If he even told anyone she doubts theyll believe him, but still, nice to keep up appearances to cover up her tracks. She feels like shes gonna vomit. "Well, thats a bibibibiibt- pfft. Gah, my mouthisbeingnumb...bleh." She slightly moves her hand with the frog still attached. "Th-thats a bit rude, like I defend people ya know. But yeah, people like her are kinda the usual fare whenever we get a common case. Only sometimes they're innocent, but that doesn't really matter in the long run. It's just a job, after all-all. Gah." She shakes her hand and removes her glasses to remove the sweat from the bridge of her nose. Ed would probably notice the weird glowing eyes and the gray patch of skin and indigo eyebags surrounding the eyes, hidden from the world just by a simple pair of glasses. "Fuck that'-that's strong at this level. Whew. How are you able to hold up with these frogs? You immune or something?"

It was very funny to see the ladies voice slur and slow down as the poison kicked in proper. Her mouth was going numb, and ed just proceeded to stretch his arm out to hug her with one hand, patting her like some sort of drunken friend of his. Savage especially. Although luckily, this ladies figure was much smaller to make doing that sort of thing way easier. "Now, just give it a minute... it'll pass through your system, lock it down for a second, and probably make your poo diarrhea for one visit..." He giggled to himself. Serves her right for calling his frogs weak!
Ed just scoffed, as she tried to defend herself with the whole lawyer talk. "I wouldn't quit my dayjob for it..." Not that he had one. However, looking at the girls interesting reaction to the poison, he could observe her eyes glowing brightly like the sun... the color of her skin was also changing. And not to a color his frogs usually made their enemies switch into... "Alright, Bass... Time to let go of the lollipop." He gripped the frog by the stomach, making it forcefully utter a croak. With its mouth open, ed swiftly pulled the finger out of its mouth. If the lady had some quirk that activated in a situation like these, Bass could have been in trouble... "But, since you were so nice and patient about it..." He sank his hand into the bucket, pulling it out all covered in dark green and brownish goop, offering it to the frog. "Dig in. Finger food, like hers!" Frog complied, starting to nibble his fingers very quickly. "Pfehehehehe... Bass truly is a funky little guy, isn't he!" He pointed at the frog like a proud dad.
However the lady was seemingly starting to feel a little better... hm. Quicker than usual. This time her question was very personal. How was he handling these frogs without issues? "Well... you could say blood is thicker than poison. Makes it easier." He tried to be somewhat vague about it, as he sank his non goopy arm into his jacket, and rubbed the pits on his body. Random person, a curious one... and all sorts of interesting. the problematic combination when you were supposed to hold your secrets in.
"Well, time for me to go..." He flipped the bucket upside down, emptying it's contents, and the frogs down on the ground. He lifted the frog corpse up, put it into his jacket pocket, and then started saying names. "Zuul, Jazz and uh... I suppose bass..." Would be rude to stop its meal time now. "Hop on." He lifted his pant sleeves, as the frogs hopped and snapped onto it like a window dressing. Then he lifted the bucket. "Have some other places to visit too today..." He mumbled, as he turned to walk away...

So is he like 10 years old? Eh whatever, she's too concerned with this poison in her body to worry about what he told her in a childish tone, also because she's getting one arm hugged by the weird guy. Never a good sign, especially if he is also possibly poisonous. "hmm...expected worse." She mutters to herself. Seriously, weak shit. She expected blood from the eyes, vomiting, internal combustion maybe? Can frogs cause that even? She doubts it but wouldn't that be a neat little trick: to cause people to internally explode all of their organs at once. Could be a painful death...ehehe...She couldn't help but let out a small giggle as she covered her face with her other hand, trying to reduce the spread of her quirk around her body. She still has to keep up appearances, and its hard to do so when you got gray skin popping out in places.
She seems to get the gist of what he meant by blood. Maybe he's just naturally resistant...or maybe he s somehow related to the frogs? Oh god what if he's related to the frogs? That'll be some sort of weird ass quirk a frog would have. Oh hey here ya go random frog laying down all of these eggs. Turns out that one of them is a human, ta-daaaaaa! How messed up would that be? Nah, it has to be something in his blood that lets him tank this shit. It has to be...unless. She shakes her as he starts to feed his frogs, trying to settle down after this small episode of sorts. The patches of grey skin have faded, along with the vibrant indigo veins. She adjusts her glasses to hide her afflicted eyebags and vibrant eyes. "Yeah, I guess. Gotta kill more dogs or whatnot...joking of course. Still, at least do it away from the person so you dont get people like her hounding you...anyway. See ya, frog man." She walks aways, stumbling for a second but regaining herself, as she laughs a little.
