‘I’m doing research on petplay, I’m going to write a fic about Scar wanting to experience life as a pet sniffer with his owner’s Cub and Mumbo’
Cub doing research on the sniffer with a couple of other hermits (not sure who) mostly lab work
trying to find out more about the ancient creatures and there link to modern day sniffer hybrids
Scar is (by no surprise at this point) a sniffer hybrid and said yes to helping with the research because Cub asked him
Scar’s job is being a “field agent” of sorts, he express once to Cub that ‘he’d recently grown envious towards the sniffers they’ve (the hermits) kept in the pasture’
and sometimes wanted to ‘take a break from being a player’
(I’m using player as an inclusive term for “humans”)
so Cub offered to help him with that
in exchange Scar agreed to be a “test subject” for Cub
(Scar’s the only sniffer hybrid, that’s why they’re doing this test in the first place)
all scar has to do is get his weekly blood drawn and hormone shot in
“visit” with the sniffers, then report back what “research” he found about the sniffer creature (can you see where I’m going with this)
Mumbo is there to, he’s Scars keeper/shared owner of Scar (with Cub)
his job is practically pampering Scar after his long day out in the pasture
he bathes him, brushes him, puts Scar’s favorite StarWars movie on while Mumbo sits besides him and messages his back
all around cooes at him about ‘being such a good boy’ and ‘Is his princess happy’
and Scar just rumbles a happy noise, to tired from his day to actually say words
on his pink sniffer bed, made just for him, with one of his owners softly petting his head as he drifts off to sleep
excited to start his day again and again and again
to be cheerish like a prize pet
I’ll make a actual fic of this idea later, just needed to get this out of my system first.
