Locked out
Who: Mortimer Toynbee
What: Inhabiting a beanbag frog who's locked out of his room.
Where: All over the ship.
When: All during the toy flood.
Warnings: will update
[Day One]: Mort was outside his room when the flood struck and he got stuck with no arms and no way to unlock his cabin or get at his communication device. He spends the first day a little jumpy thanks to being pounced on. Trudging down corridors, up stairs (as well as he can) and generally all over the ship, he tries to stay in motion, tries to make it seem purposeful, as if he has somewhere to be but that doesn't last very long. He tries several quiet places, hoping to find somewhere quiet to fall asleep, but every time he does, sleep never comes. His eyes simply won't close. By [Day Two] he's bored out of his mind and far more willing to strike up conversations. His expression might be sewn onto his face but it sums up his feelings perfectly: a silent scream in felt. Please distract him.

And come on, who else (except maybe him) would also end up green and stuffed and vaguely froglike. "Hey, man, how's it goin'?" It's just too dumb to not be amused.

"S' fine." He tries to raise an eyebrow but fails miserably without eyebrows. "Locked out is all, but there's not anything in my room worth getting. You're Todd, right?"

"Did you know Sabertooth's a stuffed lion?"

"I suggest staying away from the bastard. Though, you can cope with him, long as he's distracted and you're never around when he gets bored."
"Yeah?" he asks cautiously. "I remember it. Was kinda fun."

But, more importantly, job. He wishes Alfie hadn't set him to recruiting. He still hasn't caught on that the job is more or less a social experiment with Todd at the epicenter, and this seems like it should be someone else's thing. "There's a guy here puttin' a job together. My end's a bit distraction. Wanna help?" That would work on him, anyway. Someone intimidating says to do things. The natural condition of a Toad.

Alfie asks, on the second day, frowning down at the little thing with the face. His brain is bad at processing analogous shapes- not enough cartoons in his day and age. The plushie only vaguely sort of signifies;
"A frog?"

He thinks he knows the voice- well, the accent.

Is the first thing Alfie wonders.
"Or are you just gonna be sitting there all week?"

While in the meantime he bends down to scoop him up.

"That would be on the seventh floor. Room two. I've got my key in a pocket.
And yeah...I was a little confused the first day when I met you." He's not apologizing, not exactly but it sounds like an explanation at least.

Lua's seen enough toy people this past day or two that she'd normally be much more careful. From behind, though, the green blob of fabric looks like a pillow tossed on the common room floor, and she already has her hand at the back of Mort's neck before she sees the eyes moving. The only sign she knows something's wrong, as she sits him down on the ottoman, is an quiet apologetic sound. She crouches to his level, trying to identify who this might be.

"Hey. If you ever get a chance to be a stuffed animal, I don't recommend it." There's a little dry humor in his voice- anything to help him cope.

But it can't last forever, right? I won't be a stuffed frog forever."

Maybe a cloth or something would work."
