Re: Flasque of the Red Death
As Rae sings below, on the upper deck, Lorenzo sees a frog dancing on its hind legs. Not a grippli or a bullywug or a grund. Just a regular frog.

Re: Flasque of the Red Death
When the music for the song Rae was spinning ended, she looked around and realized nothing was going to happen. There was no alcohol in the empty glasses it seemed, just a strong smell, and the crowd kept up their nonsense conversation about fruit. She shrugged dejectedly left the ballroom as another song started up, then explored further into the boat.

Re: Flasque of the Red Death
"OI, DID YOU GET A DANCING FROG TOO?"
Lorenzo follows it, curious.

Re: Flasque of the Red Death
"Frog?" Rae says to herself. Then she says loudly (though not as loud as Lorenzo can manage) "what'd'ye mean ye got a frog?"

Re: Flasque of the Red Death
As Rae stops singing, the frog plops onto its belly and simply croaks, before hopping deeper into the ship in a non-anthropomorphic manner.
Rae enters another area and the sounds of music dim, but a different set of voices comes more into focus. In a room to her right, she hears the sound of coin clinking. "Room for one more," a voice says, in a thick N'awrlins drawl.

Re: Flasque of the Red Death
"why would a frog be danci---," Rae says as she enters the next room and here's the voices. She sees a gaming table and says "Arrr, I always be up f'r a game....what be we playin'?"

"HAUNTED!"
As she stops, though, Lorenzo perks up a bit, looking over the side.
"RAE, YOU OKAY?"

Re: Flasque of the Red Death
"Oi, I think I be invited to a card game!" Rae shouts to make herself heard, even though the Lorenzo's voice reverberates powerfully through walls, ceilings, floors, and supernatural mist.

Re: Flasque of the Red Death
A barely visible image, translucent and black in the shadowy room, leans forward. A vision of death in robes and chains, it says, "Lady's in, gentlemen. Ante up," as it deals out a hand of cards to Rae and four unoccupied chairs.
