Parker

[Emerson finds him when Lou's gotten home.]

@graffitied-tireswing

(He perks up and starts squeaking and dooking excitedly, hopping around.)

Hi! I've been searchin for you for a while!

(He makes an emphasized series of dooks before running up their pant leg and onto their shoulder, sniffing and licking their face.)

[He laughs and pats zir head.]

I missed you too!

What on earth were you up to?

I was being a tactical emotional support ferret for someone named Lou! He was trying to go back to his super crazy conservative parents so they’d uhm, kiiillll him…

Ohhh my god.

You really do have a habit of intervenin in the craziest situations.

Right?! It’s my special skill.

Seriously.

Do we get to go home now?

Heck yeah, we get to go home. I plotted our route out and everything. Your moms are probably worried sick by now.

(He dooks) Hopefully not toooo worried.... I don't wanna get in trouble..

You got dropped in another universe entirely by accident. I don't really think that you can get in trouble for that.

But I chose to stay for longer… :<

You helped someone.

If they get mad at you for that, then I'm stealin you.

Okay!!

(The ferret sticks his nose out of Lou's pocket and sniffs at the air, before poking his head out a little and looking around.) - @ferret-speedster

Yeah, that's a ferret shifter.

Hi little fella. You're a pretty long way from home.

(Zey squeak at him in surprise)

Sorry- sorry! I didn't mean to scare you.

I'm Allan, and I'm Lou's older brother. Your name is Parker, right?

(He nods enthusiastically)

We're on our way back home so it's gonna be a little bit before we can get you to your breach. It's probably pretty disorienting to go to sleep and wake up in a different place, huh?

Not really! I let Emerson carry me lots of places.

(His mental voice sounds more chipper and energetic than the Parker that Allan knows.)

[He takes a moment to process that.]

Did you have a good sleep?

Yah! It's cozy in here.

That's good to hear.

(He wiggles a little and looks up at Lou)

So no dangerous stuff happenin' now?

[Lou is cashed out.]

Yeah, the danger's over. You're both safe.

Hooray!

(Aria quietly walks over and offers Emerson a bowl of food she prepared, stuff that can be eaten just with his hands. It’s around lunchtime.)

- @invisiwhy

Oh- uh- thanks.

invisiwhy

(She nods and leaves the room.)

(Parker hasn't returned yet and he's been gone for a decent amount of time. He doesn't usually leave the house without Emerson.)

Okay anxiety, right now would be a great time to stop being a thing.

[He tries some of the food and then tries for a vision.]

(He can See that Parker is hiding in someone's pocket. Flashes of an airplane and TSA, and someone that he doesn't recognize.)

Smeeellls different here…

I thought you went home. Why are you in my bag an' how did you make it past the TSA?

I figured I should follow you just in case! And I scurried past them while they were distracted. Those guys weren’t very quick in the brain department.

Well, ICE has never had many braincells between their agents an' the TSA is overwhelmed so that makes sense.

It's still a very bad idea for you to have followed me.

Bad idea schmad idea, you were being all twitchy an’ then suddenly sat up and started packing, of course I followed you.

I was plannin' t'get killed by my parents.

They're not safe people an' you would've been put in danger by it.

I would’ve been a human shield for you. An’ I will be if you still try goin’ through with it.
