Fourth Hop:: [Audio]

[royalguarantee]

[After every fun day comes a bad morning-- or, for Naveen, not just a morning. As if being turned BACK into a frog wasn't depressing enough for Naveen, now the good doctor is on the boat. He's not been exploring the boat the past couple of days, mostly in an attempt to avoid him. But he has a question.]

Hello.

[He does not sound quite his

... It appears to be at the captain's whim. Much to my... displeasure.

[royalguarantee]

But, but.

[He sounds a little exasperated.]

There is no other way other than the Captain?

[heavyweaponsbot]

Thankfully, no. There is not.

[royalguarantee]

[He sighs.]

No, no, no "thankfully". I suppose I will have to find my own way.

[There are many reasons he wants to be human. Protecting himself from Facillier is just one.]

...Why?

[This is a subject very close to Lenny's heart.]

(text, Naveen cannot lock worth a crap)

[It takes him a really long time to reply because he has never used a keyboard.]

What are you, like... normally? A cat? Pigeon? ...Moose? Those antlers are used to kill stuff, aren't they?! How can I trust you? ANSWER ME!

[Lenny's in interrogation mode.]

[Naveen frets slightly as he types.]

Unfortunately, it has been a somewhat sporadic event here.

You may wish to find some of the baked goods, which were served at a party fairly recently - The cookies were able to turn non-humans into a human form, even if temporarily.

[royalguarantee]

Ah, that sounds like an idea! But, I do not think I could eat cookies forever.

I am trying to turn to a human and stay that way. Like I was before.

[medicalofficer]

It would be a suitable temporary solution, at least.

I have not heard of this vessel transforming anyone into a form they were not in prior to their arrival. Myself and my comrade were... significantly downsized and stripped of our weapons, but we were not transfigured at all...

It's very odd that the Captain saw fit to alter you. Then, the Captain is... very odd himself.

[royalguarantee]

No, no. It is not the Captain, I am sorry, I did not explain. I was like this before I came here, but when I was in New Orleans, I was turned into this.

[By the crazy voodoo man who is NOW ON THE BOAT.]

I was trying to fix the... problem, when I was brought here.

[aswanbyday]

If I ever find a way, I'll make sure to share it with you.

[royalguarantee]

[He's happy to hear Odette's voice.]

I would be in your debt forever! I will help you too, Princess!

[aswanbyday]

[She laughs softly at his tone. You're so sweet, Naveen.]

You're my friend, Naveen. I would do it gladly. And I appreciate that. I really do.

[royalguarantee]

It is no problem at all! If you need anything that I am capable of, I am your man, as they say!

Your frog.

Man-frog?

[That sounded STUPID.]

[missmimmi]

I am not sure. These things simply seem to happen randomly.

[royalguarantee]

That is... not so good.

I heard about cookies that turn people human here, though. Have you seen any of those?

[missmimmi]

Nein, I have not.

[She didn't even know those existed]

[royalguarantee]

Ah.

[He frowns.]

Do you think the cooks would know about them?
