weekend 0: saturday

[ alex is outside. reaching out to touch shadow people. and of course, passing right through them.

she shudders. ]

Ugh, so creepy. It's creepy, right?

[frogzoned]

[ he does NOT reach out to touch any shadow people, and in fact when she does, he recoils a bit.

she might get the impression that he is ... a bit of a wimp? ]

It's very creepy. And I've seen creepy.

week 0: friday

[camena]

I... didn't want to think anyone do it, but I thought it would at least take a while.

Like a... last ditch effort or something, you know?

[frogzoned]

[ hah! yeah. too real, man! too real. ]

I understand the hope, but I've found that terrible things do often happen astonishingly quickly lately. I suppose it was bound to happen eventually. But I agree. It should not have been so quickly. It was nice to ... have a rest from all of that.

week 1: monday

[camena]

[ hello we are looking at the canals... ]

Think you could beat the gondolas in a race? [ is this frog racism ]

[frogzoned]

[ this is frog racism ]

I resent the question, but I ... probably could. Could you? I believe we never established your swimability ranking.

week 1: friday

[camena]

Sorry

[frogzoned]

I don't think it's me that needs it, but thank you anyway.

Are you alright?

W1 - SATURDAY

[frogzoned]

I really didn't think-- Or, I did. I did think. All along. But I didn't. It seemed too easy. Too obvious. It couldn't have been.

[camena]

Sometimes the most obvious answer is the right one.

But you want to think it's more complicated, because you want to think—I don't know. That they might be better than that? Then again that would mean someone else was worse.

[ THERE'S NOT REALLY A GOOD ANSWER HERE ]

week 2: wednesday

[camena]

[ after the mini event alex is all wet from both being sprayed by people with a hose and from trying to wash puppies. so she's just wringing out the bottom of her shirt. ]

Iiii still have no idea how they judge these things.

[frogzoned]

I get the strong feeling it's judged based on how much you've managed to humiliate yourself, actually.

Have you gotten the same amount every week?

week 2: thursday

[camena]

Did you get your stab healed???

[frogzoned]

I believe so, but the problem of course stems from the fact I only have one blind spot in my nearly circular visual range and it is directly behind my head.

So it could be a gaping hole for all I can tell. I am afraid to touch it.

W2 - SUNDAY

[frogzoned]

[ hes just sorta. wandering the area around outside of the house. deep in Frog Thoughts. It's bad in here fam! ]

Alex.

[camena]

[ Gerard your Frog Thoughts. that's okay they're probably pretty close to her Alex Thoughts. she is like pacing back and forth just to slowly tire herself out in hopes of feeling less anxious. normal. ]

Hey, Gerard.

W3 - MONDAY

[frogzoned]

[ he's here at the theater, standing outside of it and looking at all the available movie options? what a world. he doesn't know what any of these are. ]

Have you heard of any of this?

[camena]

Movies...? Yeah, they're like really common where I'm from. But I guess it makes sense your world wouldn't have them.

[ maybe? fairytales seem confusing as a foundation of reality. ]

week 3: friday

[camena]

I think I want to stop looking for stuff on Fridays...

[frogzoned]

I honestly think maybe you should stop. You might be a little bit cursed.

week 4: monday

[camena]

[ when alex spots gerard out and about she'll wander over to say hi! except. pig time. From 2:06:44 to 2:09:35! ]

[frogzoned]

[ well that's a lot to learn in just under three minutes. but he's not stupid. he can glean what a lot of it means. `That's just how this story goes.` ]

I, um. [ talk about anything else but the thing she probably doesn't want to discuss yet!! ] Time loops?

W4 - FRIDAY - TEXT

[frogzoned]

. . . At least you didn't have to find one of them this time?

[camena]

Yeah that's about as much optimism as I can muster up.

week 4: saturday

[camena]

[ SHE IS LOOKING FOR GERARD and just kind of vibrating with stress but that's fine. ]

Are you—no, like, obviously you're not okay. Ugh. I don't understand how anyone could vote for you guys. I don't... Get it.

[frogzoned]

[ hi alex. he's not actually that hard to find, he's just pacing in front of the warehouses. ]

Oh, I think they did because we did it. I mean, it makes sense. That was the plan.

W7 - MONDAY - GHOST ... ?

[frogzoned]

[ well if Alex keeps concentrating Gerard will hang around to talk. His form is sorta hard to see, but she'll get flickers occasionally. not of his face, but, you know. ]

Been a bit of a mess over here, I can see.

[camena]

[ why not of his face. that's so alarming. thank you. ]

Little bit.

W7 - WEDNESDAY ..... 2 (its friday)

[frogzoned]

[ wew what happened anyway

gerard is hanging around. somewhere. i don't know the. dead void. but the connection is kinda bad, and hes pretty fuzzy. it's fine. ]

Alex ... ?

[camena]

[ fuzzy frog... ]

Oh, we can—good. God. We couldn't talk to you guys for a while.

week 7: saturday

[camena]

How come you aren't a frog anymore?

[ rude ass ]

[frogzoned]

[ you cant just ask people why theyre not a frog, alex ]

I don't know!

[ before she can say it: ]

No kissing was involved!
