Monroe Florida, Wednesday Afternoon
Oct. 8th, 2013 01:03 pmHaving barely begun his junior year of college, Robin had found himself with some unexpected time off due to a series of comic misadventures that had left the dance studio in a shambles, his vocal coach recovering from an Opera overdose, and the entire acting staff stranded in St. Paul. Garrison Keilor assured the administration at the New York Academy that he'd have them back in a week.
Plus he was wrapped from the Muppet Christmas Carol.
So the young Frog had decided to visit his friend Hugh the Manatee back in Florida. Things had not been going all that well for Hugh. He had found himself somewhat exiled from the local LARP group due to his insistence on playing a Were-Penguin against all objections.
"I thought you weren't going to 'allow yourself to get bullied out of the RPG." Robin said as they commiserated at the local watering hole. Literally, a watering hole.
"Well I was kinda losing interest anyway." Hugh admitted. "I spent more of my time out of character than in, and the people I mostly interacted with weren't coming very often anyway."
Their conversation was interrupted by a loud belch, followed by a stream of insults directed at them. Perched on a nearby rock was Tully Gator, the school bully. Though Robin had mostly escaped his torments by going to Fandom (where he'd endured much worse and come through), but Hugh had been his principal target for many many years.
Tully had a knack for finding people's insecurities and preying on them. From Robin's size to Hugh's being unusual even amongst other geeks, he took joy in others' pain.
Sadly for him, Robin had his banjo handy.
