I return to make up for ch3's anticlimactic ending for something special - With a healthy dose of monster fucking and frog torturing. The green idiot fable continues below, and thank you for reading :)

The tails of her white doctor's coat curled up in movement behind Poelle as she stepped back into her farmhouse's back-door, reaffirming the wide-brimmed sunhat sat comfortably on her scalp. The pair of pink flowers tucked into her black hatband shakes as brisk as she walks, her short legs' pace driven by the interest in the case of the nympho frogman. Her patient remained on the comparatively hyper-sized medical table, suckling on the root of a smouldering cigarette as he turns to the noise of his doctor approaching. "I told you, no smoking in here -- A spark could blow us all up, some of my ingredients are particularly volatile." A practiced voice of authority reprimands, thin green fingers deftly swiping the smoke from Hugo, smushing it into a plant-pot left on the windowsill of her clinic. The tiny frog lets out a huge sigh, crossing his arms in frustration.
"Who knows what needles you're gonna poke me with now. I need something to keep me going. I'm scared." He sarcastically remarks, allowing a smirk to curl up on his flat face. "Unless you've got something stronger. Next step is probably cutting me from chin to cock, right?" He asks, dragging a long orange finger down his white lower lip and belly.
"I don't need to biopsy you to figure out you've got a curse." Poelle's eyes roll, opening a drawer as she pulls out what appears to be a small egg-timer -- A wooden, delicate object carved to look like a bird's nest, with a big rotating egg connected by small bits of machinery within. "The only tests I need to do at the moment are to gather the parameters of your... Condition. Even if it was invasive, you've no need to worry about me killing you if I did -- I've cut hundreds of frogs apart, even if the majority weren't alive. Or trying to get me to sleep with him." She insists, strutting back to the cart and picking up a shiny scalpel, putting it close to him threateningly. "Of course, I'm curious if injuries you take on in this form would affect you when you transform back."
Hugo gulps, eyes widening as he crawls back away from the blade instinctively. "I-Uh... Will that really help cure me? I'm sure it isn't that impor-"
"Relax." Poelle laughs, a manic kind of cackle that barely inspired confidence in the frogman, especially considering this was a healer suggested by none other than Ruffles. "I already know they do." She explains, using the blunt end of the scalpel to trace small white lines across his flesh, and a pronounced one across his eyebrow. "I don't imagine you'd carry across scars unless it was the same for fresh injuries. Of course, all of these may be from when you were initially cursed. Maybe I should, just in case." She grins, moving closer as Hugo nervously laughs.
"H-Hahah! Yeah, funny! Alright, seriously, what the fuck are you gonna do to me, here." He redirects, attempting to get to the point. He knew Ruffles said Poelle was a little strange, but not exactly psychotic. He'd been in discussion for only a minute, and he already felt the need to calm his nerves once more. He glances towards Ruffles' guitar, behind Poelle, and gives a look of despair. There was no chance he could hop there and pluck out another cigarette before the farmer-alchemist caught him.
"Your curse is reversed momentarily by a kiss, correct? I restrain you so there isn't a repeat of what happened under the bridge, and I time how long it takes for you to return. I take some other samples in the meantime. Probably painless for you." She explains, Hugo reluctantly nodding. Poelle pulls off her hat, hooking it onto the wall. "I know you want to watch, Sunny, but the next test will likely be a sensitive one. I don't imagine Hugo here is your type, either." She explains to her hat, the accessory retaliating in a feisty, loud, absolute nothing. The fact Poelle had started talking to her own clothes gave Hugo a reason for his fifth change of mind, but he knew that this was one of the best chances he had in Spyt.
"Alright, what could go wrong?" He asks, genuinely, as Poelle smiles back, filling her coats with test tubes and bits of odd machinery. Picking up the timer in one hand, she scoops up Hugo in her other.
"Exactly!" She announces, swiftly making her way to another lab room, closing the door behind her.
Hugo, sits gently in the palm of her hand, looking up as he gulps down another red flag. "That wasn't a rhetorical question." He whimpers.
Far from any remotely intelligent conversation stood Hugo's bedlam bardic buddy, Ruffles, having made roughly three feet of movement in the meantime. She was hesitant to continue her quest -- A sticky, special ingredient for a potential remedy, from one of the great monsters Poelle kept on her farm. Still clutching the metal bucket in her quivering hands, she breathes quickly, attempting to hype herself up -- She'd only met a handful of Poelle's creatures before, and with an imagination as powerful as hers, the fears started to pile up. She'd be eaten the moment she stepped into their pen, wouldn't she? Or, she'd have eggs laid inside her, and she'd become some kind of brood mother for a cacophony of little green, long-eared insects. It doesn't help that in the past Poelle had often been particularly descriptive with her studies on patients and monsters alike.
"Alright, Ruffles! You can do this! Just in, get the good stuff! Get out!" She rouses, her apprehensive footsteps becoming a spirited march. Her unsecure cleavage shakes in the oversized denim overalls, one of the straps falling from her freckled shoulder as she approaches the stall, a small plaque marked 'Shalanni' besides it. "How bad could it be? I've dealt with worse. How am I gonna become a legend if I can't even face a-"
"Will you shut up?" A low voice shouts out from behind the gate. Ruffles yelps, immediately closing her mouth, her heartrate spiking. "So much for my beauty sleep. What are you doing here, girl?" The voice asks, soft in texture, but stern in tone.
"I- Poelle sent me!" She replies rapidly, not wanting to incite the wrath of the stall's guardian. Despite being built for a goblin farmer, most of the stalls were walled tall -- Built for the privacy of the 'livestock', no doubt. "She needs me to get some of your, um..."
"Seed? There must be an exceptional reason for why she can't do it herself." He sighs, frustrated.
"She's busy treating my friend, Hugo! He's also a bit, um... Monstery... Sorta... She said I should do it, she's busy! It might be important in saving my friend!" Ruffles pleads, this being the only way to save Hugo in her eyes.
"I'm not some savage to be passed around to whoever she pleases... If she says it's important, you can enter, but this better be good." He allows, still with a frustrated note in his voice. Ruffles apprehensively opens up the stall door, squishing herself through the tiny crack she
Sat comfortably on four equestrian legs, reading a book with two human arms, appeared to be some manner of human-horse hybrid. He had well groomed, glossy walnut fur, with a long blonde tail that swished behind him. At the base of where the neck would be on a regular horse, a torso started, with a comfortable loose-fit shirt draped over a slender torso, the sleeves ending at the fingertips. His clothes were a little worn as he taps his hoof expectantly, using his left hand to brush his exceptional hair behind his ear. It was as long as his tail, reaching down to his hips, a well-maintained straight length of equally blonde hair. At the sides of his head bits of brown fur begin, and the lengths of his ears appeared horse-like also, flopping down limply. His face was remarkably beautiful -- Pristine, like a prince, only draped in commoner's garb, with full lips and a small beauty mark underneath to the left of his mouth. His eyes were soft, yet piercing, with a big pink flower tucked in his hair -- Not unlike the ones Poelle is usually seen with.
His stall was decorated accordingly, with a large wooden frame with a saddle securely snug on the imitation torso, and a long horizontal vanity mirror, with a brush and various conditioners kept lined up next to eachother. A large wardrobe lay ajar, filled in majority with torso clothing and accessories, with a thick bookshelf brimming with fiction. Ruffles scanned the room quickly, but most of her attention was ripped away by the allure of the 'monster' ahead. "P-Pretty..." She stammers, placing the bucket down as she approaches on the soft, hay-strewn floor.
"Another Goblin? Oh. You're the idiot she mentioned a while ago. Good." He sighs, only looking up for a second before returning to his novel. "A little plump, but you look soft enough. I hope you know how to use those little hands." He fancies, still scanning the pages. Ruffles gasps, offended, as she screws up her hands and puts them on her hips.
