My boss is a frog?!
I applied for a job at Tadpole Incorporated as a "professional friend". Now they want me to go to a bunch of islands to help everyone I meet. If I don't prove myself, I'm out of a job! Luckily the folks around here are kind. Kind and a bit weird. Should I just enjoy island life while I'm here?To clarify:
- Yes, my boss eats bugs and stuff.
- Yes, he does wear a tie.
- Type of frog? A green one?
- Everyone I meet seems to be some sort of animal. How did I end up here?
Sincerely,
Niko
