SBZ -an/Robin Petshop! AU Concept
Robin is a petshop employee for a non profit petshop that houses many exotic unpopular breeds/ rehabilitate many 4546B fauna.
Problem is that no one wants the small, harmless non cool pets, the hoverfish with it's broken waterbladder, crash fish that can't explode, cuddlefish with seperation anxiety.
Nope these guys just sit around ignored. But that's okay, because they all have a safe place there.
until someone starts buying these little guys up in mass.
After finding out the species and history of the buyer.
Robin one of the employees, is one ninty-nine percent certain the alien buying their babies is using them for scientific experimentation!
And hates that no one believes her!
Thus she makes a point to attempt to thwart all of the precusors future purchases, all the while attempting to make the petshop the least appealing option to the frequently visiting alien.
This goes on with little wins and losses and eventually reaches a head when the architect unknowingly purchases
Pally her blind pet Trivalve after the poor creature made its way into one of the tanks! Robin takes this fight into her own hands.
Meanwhile Al-an a precursor once in charge of monitoring a planet's purification process, such responsibility was his alone but due to an "accident" with the vaccine deployment the architect accidentally killed off the planet's weaker fauna populations.
Big no no on his part but that's ok because he has a fool proof plan.
It's not like his superiors know what species will be missing just that…alot of them suddenly died.
But not if he fills in those gaps before they catch wind of the imbalance..
And what better place to obtain these replacements then a small stuggling petshop that won't question his intentions for said purchases.
Only issue is the VERY mean and oddly amusing employee, who he's certain attempted to thrawrt his plans on multiple occasions.
And may or may not have stowayed on his ship to his empty planet for some obscene reason.
This would be a comedy, as the cast are utter idiots and Al-an is that person who buys invasive animals from the petshop and ruins the ecosystem by releasing them into the local lake.
And Robin is 100% on 'the i should be fired long ago but the management likes me bitch, and their just as mean' list and VERY nasty about her pets, the type who will silently judge you as you pick the kitten over the adult blind cat.
Endless misunderstandings, accidental kidnapping and a ship load of fauna as pets, romance and fluff and sass. Ryley is there but only to hold the hoverfish in his hand as the zelda theme plays.
