Shallow End

Every evening, Croak Dog reports to the shallow end before the first mosquito clocks in. He checks the floating branches, straightens one pink flower, and waits for passengers who are usually reeds. The frog suit stays on because pond policy is vague. By dawn, nothing urgent has happened, which counts as a clean shift.

Pond Duties

The night ferry runs whenever the branch points somewhere useful.

  • Quiet Operator

    Keeps the pond moving without waking anything important.

  • Suit Discipline

    Never removes the hood while technically near water.

  • Flower Watch

    Guards one pink bloom from absolutely no known threat.
