TELL ME NOOOWOWOW

OK HERE’S A LITTLE FRACTION OF THEM:

As a baseline for everything, I still headcanon Piggy as being the same as Peppa Pig, because that’s a big part of what made it so special to me in the first place. All my headcanons have that context

Willow is an absolute Peppa parallel in my mind; like what would’ve happened if she had a different upbringing. It’s her, her little brother William, her two parents, and for a while she’s just blissfully unaware of the rest of the world because of her childhood innocence. But then unlike Peppa, all of her safety is ripped away from her at a young age, and her more negative traits are forced to take control for her survival. *Narrator voice* Willow likes looking after William

Zee isn’t entirely mute; at least she does have the ability to talk. Something happened to her that caused her to be quiet all the time, whether it be severe trauma or just later developed autism.

Budgie is actually a parrot raised by budgies (in the world of Peppa Pig, she wouldn’t be anthropomorphic, but I don’t want her to be tiny). She is HIGHLY intelligent and can wield a sword and stuff.

She technically belongs to Archie, but she’s recognized among the ship crew as her own being. She was originally Ghosty’s when she was still alive, and Budgie wears her hat to remember her.

Ghosty is not a polar bear, she is a spirit bear (I don’t mean like she’s a ghost, like she’s a thing called a spirit bear). Bobby might be too, idk I haven’t decided yet (or have I? IDK IDK).

Every character originating from Peppa Pig is ever so slightly faster, dude to the terrain they grew up on being all hills, which they’ve adapted to trekking all over.

Most of them moved to Lucella in later years for work opportunities.

Foxy (following his Freddy Fox dreams) eventually became a police officer. He and Doggy worked together sometimes.

He, Felix, and Finely, are all different types of foxes, haven’t figured out which though.

Edmond (Elly/Emily’s little brother) is alive somewhere, and is working on his own cure for the infection (“TONY STARK BUILT THIS IN A CAVE WITH SCRAPS” ahh).

Kona is Australian because we all said so (I know he has a canon voice now, but erm actually he sounds exactly like Rhys Darby).

Zaza (Zee) started going by Zee because of the drug associations with her real name that came later.

Zuzy is also a nickname.

Sheepy works in medical stuff (though I’m pretty sure that was just confirmed :’D).

Tigry has all the anxiety and all the depression.

I HAVE MORE??? DO YOU WANT MORE???

[notwhoiwanttobeyet]

hi. 

i know i can’t assure you that it will get better. i don’t know you at all, let alone what you’ve been through and the trauma you’re living with. however, i can tell you this. 

for the past two weeks, i’ve been having an extreme depressive episode that lead to serious suicidal thoughts. i was so overwhelmed by the exam season that i literally wanted to die and drew straight to that conclusion. however, during the middle of yesterday, for some reason, i just said fuck it and stopped caring about my grades and how well i was going to do on the tests, etc. not only that, but i blocked out all everything and repressed things as a coping mechanism. once i made it through yesterday - the day that i thought i was going to die - i realised i could make it through the next. yesterday turned out to be okay and i realised i would have missed out on yesterday if i died.

then came today. and though i had a mental breakdown in front of my whole class - shivering, shaking, crying, stumbling over my words, twitching and all - and had to sit through 6 different tests, i made it. it’s then that i realised contemplating suicide over the pressure of the school system is valid, but also it’s not worth dying over. death is forever, being alive - you have limited time as it is. 

after school i went shopping. it happens to be black friday by coincidence which i didn’t even release, meaning i had enough money to buy a whole bunch of things.

i bought this little fox tray from kikki k which i really wanted and had been looking at online for ages, as well as this tiny pocket journal which i’m going to write one good or bad thing about every day in during 2021. 

i bought a massive drinking cup for all the ice drinks i’ve been drinking recently.

i bought the jean grey special edition glow in the dark vinyl pop figure i’ve been looking at since the beginning of the year.

i bought this little dc bomb shell blind bag and got one of the specials secret ones ahh

i bought a bag for future adventures.

and when i got home my mum gave me some little star lights she bought as well as my favourite salted caramel chocolate. 

though life is unfair and i’m anxious all the time, considered depressed and suicidal, i love life, actually. there’s so many things i love and am looking forward to, and though it’s hard to shut out all the thoughts in my head, i have to. because today has been the best day in a long, long time. i don’t know about you, but i believe in fate. and maybe, this was the universe rewarding me for staying alive. i don’t know, just a thought.

now while this is a huge ramble if you happen to read this i just thought i’d say staying alive might not be easy but it might just be worth it.

Comfort

A request made for a valentines exchange for a discord server. Shy Reader X Dante 

[Confessions and Plushies included

The fresh crisp air of the night rain was refreshing to your lungs as you finished saying your goodbyes to the small makeshift family Nero and Kyrie built. The bricked roads coated with the last of the droplets of the sky reflected the bright lights of the warm homes that they lead to. You tightened the thick sweater that kept the breeze from nipping. You looked up onto the glittery sky, the sight entrancing you. A dream-like feeling took you; the pull of the starry gravity lulling you to a more sleepier state that with what you began with. 

An arm interrupted your etherial drop into a close slumber, a gravity of its own waking you. Its owner’s heavy baritone voice clearing your head, “You already snoozing while standing sunshine?” He lightly laughed at your expense. “You weren’t kidding when you said you were tired.” 

“Yeah, I wanted to leave a little earlier but I wanted to see the kid’s faces when they opened the gifts I made for them,” You smiled at the silver-haired fox, “ I’m so happy they enjoyed the little plushies.” You blushed, “ I was worried that they wouldn’t like them”

“Hey, don’t get all embarrassed about your work, I thought they were really cute ” He held you closed with a one-armed hug, “just like their little maker” He teased, pinching a rose-tinted cheek. Lightly swatting at his playful hands you followed him to the car, he opened the passenger door for you, ���Madam your carriage awaits.” He bowed. 

“Oh my god dante stop,” you laughed, “how do you even have all this energy?”

“I have a ton of stamina ” he looked up from his bowed position, wiggling his eyebrows at his raunchy joke, his smile grew at the laughter you gifted him. To the devil hunter, your laugh was like clear bells in his foggy mind. Taking a seat you grinned at your friend, “I’m sorry to disappoint but I’m going to be knocked out tired in bed and not because of you being in it.”

“Worth a shot” He shrugged, closing the door lightly and taking his place on the driver’s seat. “Home sweet home for you then.”

The drive was so lovely, the calm air between the both of you made it so relaxing, and you were so bent on still keeping awake that you went into a more loose state. The separation of your mouth and mind began to slip away. As you stared at the passing sky and thought about your time with the son of Sparda.

How you both met is something that was buried in the sands of time. But ever since that day, it was as if you knew each other your entire lives. Being with each other was so natural. The honesty that you both had for one another was almost life-saving. He didn’t have to put up an act for you, so you got to meet the more mellow caring dante that most people didn’t even think existed and in turn, you let him into your own little world, one that you built up walls for your whole life. As a team, you both helped each other grow, with his growing depression you were his sunshine, and with your ever-increasing anxiety and shyness, he was a pillar of strength and comfort. But in all that promised honesty, there was something that weighed heavy on your conscience, your heart. 

You developed feelings for the man, you couldn’t imagine your life without him now. He was what you looked forward to, from his smile all the way to his crazy dorky sense of humor, and even the weird dances he does at his home when he forgets you’re there to witness such absurdity. You wanted to tell him, but your shyness made your will weak. You loved this man, but maybe one day you will have the courage to spill your secret to him.  You turned to look at the man, smiling with a sleepy daze, the shine of his locks mesmerized you. 

As the car stopped at a red light, dante felt your gaze and looked to you. “ You doing alright?” 

At that moment you let your thoughts slip, as you brushed your hand through his hair, “Did I ever tell you, that your hair reminds me of starlight.”

He chuckled at your openness, “I don’t remember you drinking at the party sunshine.” taking your hand gently off his head, “ Must be the drowsiness talking”

“Dante, I maybe yawn sleepy, but I don’t lie to you,” you looked into your eyes and what witnessed he could only describe as starlight. Sparkles that shone in adoration to the hunter. “You deserve every compliment and praise “ and then you giggled “Don’t get all embarrassed about it. ” You repeated to him in your poor attempt at his voice. 

Dante struggled to tear his eyes away from you to continue driving ahead, “I should take my own advice then huh” he lightly chuckled, if it wasn’t for the lack of lights of in the current road the vehicle entered, you’d think the man got flustered. But in your increasingly tired state, you sunk into the sea of slumber, trusting dante to take you home safely. 

The drive may have been as serene as a sweet jazz song on a still Sunday night, but the devil hunter’s mind was a bit of the opposite. Your words echoed in his mind, he had feelings for you as well. But with your shy nature, he was worried that he would take advantage of the situation. He would wait as long as needed for something, some kind of proof that you felt the same. But you were making it so difficult for him, a small cocky voice in his head would try to coax him to be bold, and be the casanova that most girls drool over. But he knows you too well, anything like that would seem false. You knew HIM too well, so he needed to bide his time, it was worth it. You were worth it. 

Dante stopped the car once he got to your home, a small apartment a few streets away from Devil may cry. As the engine died down the soft sounds of your soft snoring floated in the air. He quietly went around the vehicle, opened the door to your apartment and scooped you up. “Up and at em’ party girl” he quietly jabbed at you. Closing the vehicle door and the door to your home with a light kick of his foot. The holiday scents of cinnamon and nutmeg welcomed him to your humble abode.  He was familiar with the set up of your apartment, so he continued to your room, the glow of the living room lamp guiding him to your room. The door slightly open, he wondered what your room actually looked like. Knowing you though, he kind of knew what to expect, being into “nerdy” stuff as he liked to poke fun at. He lightly set you down on your bed, even with the messy hair and disheveled clothes, to him, you were beautiful. 

He was about to take a turn to leave your room when something red and soft caught his attention. Something was poking at your back, it looked a bit uncomfortable to he reached to grabbed what looked like a plush. Once he got it out of the way, you adjusted comfortably on the bed. “What is this?” he examined the item, a small plush that looked just like him, even down to the scruff his chin. He couldn’t help but smile and lightly chuckle at the cuteness of such a thing. But then he realized something in his delight, she made this. But why? And it was on her bed. Has she been sleeping with a cute version of himself? Why? Unless….

Was this the clue he’s been looking for? Who sleeps with a plush of somebody they consider a “friend”? No, this has to be what he has been looking for, this is his stepping stone. He sighed, “ Ok senorita, we have some business to talk about tomorrow morning”  He didn’t want to get his hopes up too much, again this was only a clue. He set the plush back on the bed and was off back to devil may cry. 

Well, he would have, but nature had other ideas, as he walked on the cobblestone street, he slipped and fell on his haunches. “Ahh, dammit.” He slowly rose, rubbing his backside, looking around he noticed a shine from the sidewalk and even to the streets, “Great just my luck, the freezing temp made everything ice.” he turned back into your home, “I guess its  a sleepover tonight for this old man.” He made himself comfortable in your home, taking himself to his usual sleeping spot in the guest room you had. As he laid himself to sleep he took a deep breath, he was so used to biting the bullet while hunting demons, but this was something that truly made him nervous about confronting. All he could do at this point was hope for the best. 

________________________________________________________________

Morning finally came, as the heat of the sun through your window tickled your nose. Opening your eyes you took in your surroundings, recognizing your room but not the process of your arrival. You let you mind rattle to find the reason, but then remembered the soft embrace of the silver-haired fox you’ve come to admire.  

Shaking off the rest of your drowsiness, you went downstairs to get some much-needed coffee, taking your plush with you to keep you silly company. You smiled at your handy work, thinking it to be the most adorable thing you’ve ever made. You just hoped dante didn’t see it, oh god how embarrassing would it be that he found your little self-indulgent plush. You wouldn’t be able to live it down, how would you be able to exp-  “ Oh hey you brought dante jr, it wouldn’t be a family breakfast without him!” 

You jumped and froze. Your brain stopped, then the shot of adrenaline sped up your thoughts into hyperdrive.

What is he doing here? How does he know about the plush? Wha? Who? Why? Huh? Oh shit, he saw it, he SAW IT. Oh shit shit shit shit, what do I doooo? What do I doo?

“D-D-D-D-dante… Uuuuuuuuuuhh ” You turned to him, hiding the plushie behind your back. “What are you doing here? I mean not that I mind you being here… I’m just curious about what kept you from Devil may cry….” You nervously word-vomited, trying badly to steel your nerves from being found out.

He just acted casually, eating away at some of your snacks,“ Oh just some iced-up roads, it was too cold, and I got a nice bed here anyway.” He watched you squirm about trying to keep your cool, finding the whole debacle adorable and highly entertaining; but as much as he loved to see this, his curiosity was ravenous and he needed to know about how you both stood with your feelings. 

“So, you mind tellin’ me about your new amigo?” He pointed at your back, “Saw it last night”

You started to overload, the cat was out of the bag. This is it muchacha, the end of the road, the place of no return. Now or never. You breathed in deeply and took the plush back into view. “ I thought of making myself a gift too, so once I was done making the kids their toys, I made one just like you.”

 “ Why me though? I know I’m a real looker, so I don’t blame you for all of this,” he gestured to himself. “But what gets me sunshine, is why do you sleep with it.” His gaze became razor-focused on you, he just gave you the bait, now he hoped you would take it.

“I - i….” your heart started racing, the beat getting harder and harder as if it was trying to rip itself out to escape. You took a deep breath and just blurted out, “ I wanted to have a plushie of you because I always want you with me, even if it means if it���s just a plush. ” you kept your gaze down, your cheeks burning with emotion, “I love you dante. I’m sorry, I should-”  His arms embraced you in comfort, his natural scent calming your senses. 

“What did I say yesterday?” He brushed your hair with his calloused fingers, “Don’t be embarrassed about your work, sunshine.” I looked up at him only to be blessed by his smile, “ Especially when I feel the same.”

This was your dream come true, you gripped his arms just to make sure you were not dreaming. “Really, dante.” You scanned his eyes checking for any reason to doubt him. Anything to give any indication of a lie, but none were there. Just him, looking onto you with unfiltered adoration. 

“You are what brings my heart comfort.”

[randomwoohoo]

Oh dear, it’s been a big while since last time I updated this story and I unintentionally made this chapter longer than previous ones, so... hope you enjoy and please comment. I would like to hear feedback~

Judy: Previously on Zoomorphia!

Nick: Good news! We made progress with the investigation of missing mammals. Maybe not much but every little thing counts. Am I right?~ Another good news! Hybrid’s fame has skyrocketed not only on internet but also mainstream media. If our alter ego is famous to such an extent that the big shots of forces held press conference, now that’s something~

Judy: I wouldn’t think that’s good. We accidentally made society suspect ZPD having some connection with Hybrid. It’s not like we intend to get the department involved, still each Hybrid form somehow adopts our traits to shape its appearance by itself, for example, ZPD logo on Police form’s helmet.

Nick: Oh and one more thing,... do DIB want to capture us for a research? If I get caught to be dissected, I’ll pass.

Judy: Of course not! They just want to investigate Hybrid… I hope.

???: I made a cameo in last chapter by the way!

Judy: Wh- Who are you!?

???: Now the chapter 7!

Nick: Hey! That’s my line!!

.-.. . - .----. ... / -.-. --- -. - .. -. ..- .

In the morning, Judy woke up slowly with her eyes closed. She breathed in a scent of spring forest aroma, projecting an image of light green leaves dancing in the gentle first light surrounded by the fragrance of blooming lilies, which reminded her of Nick’s shampoo preference.

Despite the overwhelming strong aroma, there was distinctive soft musky scent, giving off sweet fresh earthy smell, that wrapped tenderly around her.

The gray doe rabbit steadily activated her other senses apart from the sense of smell.

A pair of opening rabbit’s eyes was adjusting to see clearer. Right in front of her was cream chest fur. Her body caught warm fuzziness. Something wet was nuzzling against the top of her head.

When she looked up, she eventually discovered that she was lying on the sofa with the asleep red tod fox giving her an embrace.

The doe should be embarrassed… She should feel nervous in a man hug... It is true that they are the best of friends but their relationship had not reached the point of two mammals to casually snuggle up. However, for some reasons, she found this situation soothing and… heart-warming.

Room ceiling lights were on, which led Judy to guess they might fall asleep together the previous night. It was not her first sleepover at Nick’s apartment though. She wished she could get up but she would not dare to unintentionally wake him up since his sleeping expression seemed so peaceful as she was gazing at his face.

The rabbit saw her fox buddy so playful yet genuinely caring. They were considerably close as if they were siblings. For her, the fox was like a kind brother by some means. This particular moment evoked her childhood memories of staying overnight with older brothers. Even so, they both were not kits anymore… Would brothers still hold their younger sisters like this when they all are grown up?

Speaking of brother, Judy suddenly recollected the case of Tadashi Hamada. Hiro, the little takuni, was very likely worried sick about his missing older brother.

Afterwards, Nick changed his position to lie on his back, finally letting go of Judy, so she was able to get up. First thing she did after such a pleasant slumber was going to turn off the lights in order to save the energy. The switch on the wall was slightly too high for bunnies. Therefore, she tiptoed to click the switch.

Sometimes later, Nick awoke from his sleep. He stretched on the sofa, then moved his paws around in searching for something. His eyes wide opened when he realized that beside him was empty. Instantly, he sat up with a start.

“Mornin’ sweetheart~” Judy greeted him cheerily while wiping her face with a towel.

It appeared like she had recently washed her face as her facial fur was still damp.

Nick did not reply anything. He just stayed silent and stared his bunny friend, which started to make her concerned.

“Nick?” Judy stopped wiping and called him worriedly.

He eventually regained his sense. “Sorry! I-I-” He began to stammer, pondering. At that moment, his stomach let out a loud growl. “-was thinking about breakfast.” The chuckling fox patted his tummy.

The doe laughed along with the tod, who subsequently “What do you want to eat? For a heads-up, there aren’t many greens left in my fridge right now.” implied he would cook food for her in spite of the lack of vegetable.

“Actually, I have a place in mind.” She said, throwing the towel over her shoulder.

“Okay, you’re the boss.” He agreed to eat out wherever his partner wanted.

That growl was perfect timing but it’s still weird… Nick stole a glance at Judy before getting ready to go out.

-- --- .-. . / - .... .- -. / ..-. .-. .. . -. -.. …

Cass Hamada, mid-thirties female tanuki putting on a simple short sleeved v-neck, apron and her silver-turquoise necklace, was busy working at her cafe enthusiastically. Smile is a heart of service. She has to endure and keeps going no matter what.

Immediately after she heard a bell which rings every time the cafe’s door is opened, “Welcome~ Come on in~” she greeted customers automatically but when she turned to the door, “Officers!?” she was surprised to see Senior Officer Hopps and Senior Officer Wilde visiting her place. Both were dressed in civilian clothing.

“Hello Mrs. Hamada.” Judy waved her right paw to Cass.

“Is it about the case!? What can I do for you!?” She hurried towards the duo.

“It’s our day-off, so we come to have a meal here.” Nick tried to calm a cafe owner down.

“Oh, I see. That explained why your clothes are so casual today.” Cass’s face grew a bit depressed for a second. “Please take your seats.” Back in good spirit, she led the new customers to a table. Next, “What would you like to order?” she gave them the menu.

After both of them placed their orders, the tanuki went into kitchen, cook the food and serve the dishes to them without delay. The dish which the rabbit ordered was Tofu omelette with asparagus accompanied by a glass of fruit juice while the fox ordered Eggs Benedict with chicken ham and a cup of blueberry flavored coffee.

“Ahh, I know at this moment isn’t your working hours.” Cass’s voice conveyed uncertainty. The duo turned their attention to her. Nick stopped scooping food from his plate. Meanwhile, Judy held a tip of a fork between her lips.

“In case you two don’t mind, can we talk…?” Tanuki asked the officers.

Placing down the fork, the doe chewed food in her mouth hastily then swallowed and answered. “Sure.”

Cass was about to speak. However, she notice a customer raising one’s arm to get her attention.

“I’ll be there soon.” She spoke up to the customer across the cafe.

“Excuse me.” She told the duo, expression showing an apology for having to leave them.

Before she went to serve other customers, she walked up to the foot of the stairs at the corner of the cafe, then “Hiro! Come down a bit!” shouted to the 2nd floor.

“What’s the matter, Aunt Cass.” Hiro Hamada, a tanuki teen in blue hoodie, descended the stairs leisurely.

“Officers!?” Once he saw Nick and Judy, he dashed to their table.

Cass let her nephew have conversations with officers while she was back to work.

“Hi Hamada… kun?” Nick addressed Hiro. He learned that calling acquaintances by first name in culture Hamada family is from can be considered as rude. Thus, he called him Hamada kun, still it sounded rather odd for the fox.

“‘Hiro’ is okay by me.” Teenage takuni apprised calmly.

“How you doing, Hiro?” Judy inquired after him caringly.

Hiro dragged a nearby empty chair to sit on it. “So so, could be better.” He responded.

Seeing that Hiro looked faintly dejected, “Never told you this when we first met.” Judy came up with new subject. “You truly are remarkable! No kidding, being so intelligent that you’ve already graduated high school at a young age is genuinely impressive!”

She did not exaggeratedly praise him. In fact, she understated the boy’s capacity. According to what she had read about Hiro Hamada, apart from early graduation, he is highly innovative, capable of creating inventions some of which became famous online, thereby building his own reputation among scientific professions. He is undoubtedly a genius.

“If I recall correctly, you received an offer from Zootopia Institute of Technology, right?” Judy, still facing Hiro, slapped Nick’s paw when he attempted to snatch a bite of his buddy’s meal.

“Yeah. Tadashi referred me to the institute.” Hiro made both cops fall silent.

Nick and Judy turned to look at each other. They started to communicate with hand signals.

He’s even sadder than before!? Judy delivered a message.

Way to go, Carrots. Aren’t we supposed to be here to check them whether aunt and nephew are alright or not? Nick made a response.

I didn’t mean to upset him, Okay!? She countered.

“It’s fine. I’m aware you didn’t intend to bring my brother up… but I’ll take that as police haven’t found him yet.” Hiro sighed, gazing away.

“We will definitely find him! Don’t give up!” The doe encouraged the boy sincerely.

Tod did not say any words. He continued eating to suppress not only his hunger but also some sort of feelings bugging him as he was watching his overconfident bunny friend.

All of a sudden, a mammal cried for help outside the cafe. Apparently, there was a robbery going on.

“Sweet cracker!” Judy swiftly put money on the table “Keep the change” and subsequently charged out the front door.

Nick hurriedly paid his meal, “I’ll be back for the change.” then quickly followed the doe.

..-. .- .-.. ... . / .... --- .--. .

The duo pursued a buck antelope who thieved a purse. The robber ran in a headlong rush down the sidewalk, disobeying their order to stop escaping arrest, almost completely ignoring his surroundings.

Consequently, he crashed with a wolf pedestrian. Nevertheless, that barely made him want to slow down. He kept on fleeing… or at least he tried.

“What’s the big idea, bub?” The white tundra wolf grabbed antelope’s horn.

“If you bump into someone, first of all, apologize, you dipbiscuit!” He grasped the thief’s wrist instead and went straight judo throw him to the ground. The dazed buck groaned in pain while lying on the walkway.

“Fudge nuggets, was I too harsh on you? But you are a thief, so it doesn’t matter anyway.” The wolf snickered at the recumbent antelope.

The duo finally caught up with the seized robber. Nick suffered a stomach ache after a run. Whereas, Judy experienced no pain from running after eating not much thanks to lack of appetite.

“Thank you for assisting with capturing, sir!” She showed her appreciation to the wolf whom she saw as a good citizen helping cops.

“With my pleasure, Officer Hopps~” The wolf addressed the bunny by her name, which shocked her to some extent before she realized she holds the title of the very first rabbit officer, being semi-celebrity; thus, it is normal for strangers knowing her name.

“Well, I gotta go. I bet you can take care of the rest~ Ciao~” The dog wolf released his hold on the antelope, and then departed.

Judy felt happy because the wolf prompted her to preserve faith in mammals. It was rather sorrowful when there were criminals in the time city was being threatened by monsters. Nonetheless, good mammals still exist too.

“I’m a thief, so it doesn’t matter?” The antelope mumbled.

“It’s not like I have any other choices...” He enunciated so clear the the rabbit and the fox pricked up their ears.

“Because of misfortune, Savage attacked my house. I lost everything, shelter, money. My entire works got shredded. I lost my job! Tell me what else should I do!?” He vented his despair, just lying on the ground, submitted to the cruel fate.

Sympathy toward the antelope made bunny cop reluctant. If what he said was all true, it would mean he was merely a victim of Savage attack.

At the moment of hesitation, there was a fox paw touching the top of her head, paw with familiar sense of none other than her partner. The weight put on her head caused her to remember her obligations and job duties.

The bunny cop hardened her heart, “Above all, return the purse. You have the right to remain silent-...” providing a Miranda warning.

-- .. ... ..-. --- .-. - ..- -. .

The purse-snatcher was brought to ZPD station by rabbit and fox police officers in civilian clothes. Since it was their day off, no one did really expect to see them at the station. Still, it was not totally unexpected because the doe is usually exceedingly diligent, performing duties even on days of rest. And for the tod, he generally tags along with his partner.

After others took over a robbery case, the duo were going back to enjoying the day off. Nevertheless, they did not certainly anticipate coming upon one of the most popular singers in Zootopia.

“Don’t you surely have any update about my missing dear friend?” A female gazelle queried desperately.

“B-But your manservant went missing a-after Savages broke in your mansion. Besides, th-that was roughly a year ago-” A chubby male cheetah faltered.

“I know he’s out there… somewhere.” She spoke little quieter, clenching her left fist.

Penny Gazelle, a famous Zootopian pop star, wearing shades and a cap which hid her golden hair and allowed her horns to poke out in order to disguise herself, so no fan would recognize her easily, talked with Clawhauser at a reception desk... again.

“Please-- Officer Clawhauser… Let me see Chief Bogo-”

“Ca-Calm down, Gazelle.”

“I beg of you, please...”

Following Savages intruding into Gazelle’s house, one of the servants disappeared.

Gazelle came in the police department quite often to inquire about the progress of finding her manservant.

Many, such as other employers, fellow staffs, friends and family members, discouragedly accepted a presumption that he may be gone since the monsters’ intrusion, whereas Gazelle had been believing her friend was still alive somewhere.

“Poor her...” Judy could not help feeling bad for the pop star.

“Indeed. I also feel sorry for Clawhauser.” Nick imagined it must be distressing for the fans like Clawhauser and Chief Bogo to see their favorite singer keep denying cruel reality and convincing herself to have faith.

Nick’s sympathy jogged his memory. “Incidentally, Carrots, mind if we visit a place?”

“I actually have a place I wanna visit now too.” She sort of got the impression her buddy was thinking of the same place.

.-.. --- ... ... / .- -. -.. / -.-- . .- .-. -. .. -. --.

Just a few blocks away, there was a juvenile detention center where Nick and Judy were visiting the boys whom police captured when DIB specifically asked the pair for assistance with illegal night howler transport investigation in Sahara square warehouse district.

“Glad you’re doing well, kiddos~” Smirking fox folded his arms over the chest. He as well as the bunny sat around a circular table with five teenage mammals in visiting area

“Stop calling us kiddos, gramp.” James the fox lad, the oldest one among the group of teenagers, offended Nick to a certain extent that his left eye twitched slightly.

Nick started to get irritated whenever somebody criticized his age since he realized he was only half a decade away from becoming 40.

Notwithstanding, the ex-con artist was still able to conceal his true feelings expertly. “Drop that grumpy tone~ I’d rather be at Mystic Spring Oasis but Ms. Fluff dragged me here- Oww!” He exclaimed as Judy pinched his upper arm. “It hurts! It hurts! I’m joking!” bawled he. Judy released her grip from Nick immediately afterwards.

“We mean it that we’re glad to see you all are doing great.” She beamed at the teenagers.

“I wouldn’t say getting tranquilized then thrown into jail is great.” James looked askance at Judy.

“First, here isn’t a prison. Just to be clear; this is a youth detention center. Second...” The doe halted abruptly when she considered it might be better not to tell these kids that due to the fact they had some connection with John Silver, dangerous crime lord, making them stay where they can be guarded round the clock was possibly the smartest decision for their safety.

“Second what?” Thomas, a young buck rabbit, wondered.

The doe chose to change the subject. “Anyway, have your parents contacted you five lately?” She guessed the parents were definitely worrying about their children’s welfare.

The teenage mammals exchanged looks briefly before James spoke for others. “You may not know this but… some of us lost father, mother or both.”

“Huh!?” The duo were shocked by words they heard.

“Some disappeared, some were put in a coma, some even… passed away after Savages… y’know” He tried to carry on despite discomfort from talking about it.

“It’s okay. We get what you’re saying.” Nick told the younger fox.

These boys basically are on their own, huh? Judy pondered.

“Umm, any news about Jim?” Roll the raccoon ultimately uttered after keeping silent since the buddy cops came to pay him and his friends a visit.

Although Roll’s real name is actually James, he preferred being called by a nickname because there was the fox lad named ‘James’ too in their group, which might be confusing, provided someone called to James among them.

Judy got no idea how many relatives these boys had left. It seemed as if they only had each other. It’s just 6 of them. If one of them is missing, the rest must be anxious, especially the twin brother.

Both Nick and Judy gazed into one another’s eyes. They were well aware that their investigation had not made much progress. They had no clue where John Silver was and whether Jim Tuck, Roll’s twin captured by the crime lord, was still with him or not.

She blinked, then looked back at Roll, “Everything gonna be just fine. I can assure you.” encouraging him tenderly.

Unfortunately, the teenage boar raccoon did not seem more relieved or less distressed. The doe became awkward, meditating on what or how she should do or say to him, but subsequently noticed the adult tod rubbing his arm which she pinched previously. The way he acted undeniably drew her attention.

“Oh, suck it up, big guy.” Judy jested with Nick.

“It really hurted.” He made a whining fox noise.

“Poor dumb fox. I gonna kiss that spot later, so quit whining already.” She sarcastically joked around, pointing at the area she pinched before.

“If you say so, then you’d better pinch my cheek earlier.” He caused his best friend to blush.

Eventually, Judy understood Nick’s intention to light up the mood, still he made her embarrassed; hence, she punched his arm lightly while she was giggling.

Following that, she noted the young bear staring her and Nick intensely.

“What’s the matter, Edward?” She asked the bear.

“Nothing! It’s just… I know that you two officers are partners but… are you datin-Ouch!” Edward or Ed for short was interrupted by the skunk, the youngest mammal of the group, yanking bear’s waist fur.

It appeared the boar skunk rebuked he-bear for invading officers’ personal territory, but then, regardless of the doe’s chest tightening with warm fuzzy feeling, she did, of course, not take offense.

“We ain’t dating, still single.” Judy clarified.

“Officer Hopps is single!?” The buck was stunned by the older rabbit’s statement.

“Precisely~ But I’m 28 now. Am I not too old for you?” She joshed him comically.

However, it turned out the teenage rabbit’s face seriously reddened.

“J-Just teasing...” Judy promptly corrected his understanding, making others laugh… except Roll who went back to be quiet. When she took notice of him, she grew concerned.

-.. .- -- .- --. . ... / .- -. -.. / .- -.-. .... .

The (almost) whole day led the pair to reflect on many lives ruined by Savages. It was indubitably unignorable issue. As long as she possesses the power to help others, she will not hesitate to help them… No matter how…

During the time that both strolled down the street in Savanna Central, “Nick, let’s meet up with Fru Fru, so we can warn her about missing mammals and night howler trafficking.” Judy suggested sincerely.

“Is it a good idea?” Nick tested her.

“When it comes to underground world, Mr. Big has authority to manage situations more comprehensively than law enforcers.” She stated her viewpoint strongly.

“In this case, we will risk our jobs on the line, won’t we?” He kept testing her.

Nick highly believed that his partner was fully mindful of her position as police officer. Delivering police’s insight information to mafia can affect her status very much.

“Our jobs are to serve, to protect the city. We must take action no matter what. No time to be distraught over such subject matter.” She asserted.

“That’s my fearless bun bun~” He wore a sneaky yet proudful grin with half-lidded eyes.

Nick cast a glance on Judy. Even so, something else attracted his interest. In an alley between two buildings, there were a couple of mammals, an opossum and a pallas’s cat, acting suspicious, swapping each other’s gym bags.

“Carrots, 3 o’clock.”

Judy turned her head to the right, catching sight of suspects probably trading illegal stuffs in a narrow lane.

She together with Nick darted across the street, moving toward the alley. Luckily, there were not many mammals wanting to drive or ride their vehicles outdoors as of lately. Accordingly, the pair did not have to be worried about getting run over by cars on street.

At the time the potential criminals descried two figures coming their way, they ran deeper into the alleyway straight away, which convinced the duo more than enough that these mammals were guilty.

“Stop in the name of the-” While the bunny was ordering the criminals, her long ears picked up a distinct sound, a feral grunt.

She slowed down her pace, whereas the fox sped up to catch up with the pallas’s cat and the opossum.

“Watch out!” Bunny grasped fox’s shirttail just before a weasel leapt downward from above in front of the duo.

The weasel had the wild gesture, down on all fours, drooling, and also had purple fur. It obviously is a Savage.

Judging from the priorities, they needed to get rid of the Savage first. After finishing it off, they would chase the criminals later.

When the duo were confident that those mammals had probably escaped far enough not to see or hear the duo and the monster, they proceeded with transformation, putting on the morphers, MidniDriver, belts of which wrapped around their waists automatically.

Next, Nick pulled the tilted silver syringe on driver’s left side. “DRAW BLOOD” His blood filled up the syringe before being teleported into Judy’s syringe.

Judy pressed the syringe to “INJECT” inject herself with canine blood, resulting in Nick losing unconscious, leaning against the building’s wall then gradually falling on the ground.

“Transform!” She twisted the maroon handle sticking out on the right half. “IGNITE” Soon afterwards, the morpher device caused the blistering steam blast, changing the doe to a flamingo red bio-armored cross between two breeds, Hybrid, shiny metallic full body suit of armor on the doe figure, soft metal bunny ears, spiked fluffy fox tail, amethyst headlights for eyes, and last but not least, fangs with a pair of buck teeth pattern on muzzle part of helmet.

Hybrid hit the syringe two times “ACT-ACTIVATE” to activate the enhanced senses in order to find the criminal feline and marsupial; the united duo were able to locate them readily.

“Let’s get this over with. We have suspects to hunt down.” Judy said, keeping the guard up.

“You bet~ I don’t plan to waste my precious day-off.” Nick’s voice came out from the armored blend of a fox and a rabbit.

Nick launched Hybrid at the weasel, extending the claws, aiming to lacerate the monster’s flesh.

As it was, the Savage dodged the attack by inches. Hybrid landed staggeringly before whirling to maintain balance and strike again, still it evaded every attack by swaying from side to side.

“I’ve run out of patience.” The tod retracted the claws to throw a punch. The weasel ducked down, which went according to plan. Hybrid then kicked straight upward.

Savage flipped backward, yet both fox and rabbit did not feel Hybrid’s foot hit anything. This signified that it managed to avoid the kick.

“Is it just me, or-” Nick was about to complain.

“Is this Savage quite peculiar?” Judy took over Hybrid’s vocal organs to express her doubt.

“Gotta prove something real quick” She charged at the monster, lowering the torso, spinning around while leg sweeping on the floor.

Yet again, Hybrid failed to hit Savage . It jumped on Hybrid’s shoulders and then leapt off.

Standing upright, the mixed breed faced onto the weasel monster crouching near the senseless fox’s body lying close to the wall.

Nick and Judy were amazed by this Savage’s action.

In the past, they had certainly come across Savages keeping distance from Hybrid during fights. The duo knew well that these monsters are not mindless living organisms. They are capable of thinking and responding to their environment.

For all that, this one could come up with strategies, keeping its distance to a minimum, dodging the attacks. Furthermore, it did not try to fight back.

When Hybrid was full of openings, a great opportunity to assault, it just jumped over the cross-breed although it could have pounced on the armored mammal.

And importantly, the Savage did not even go after a motionless prey such as Nick’s unconscious body.

Overall, it appeared as if all this monster did was to… buy time...

Thereafter, Hybrid’s enhanced hearing perceived van engine sound clearly, two vans to be exact. They were going to depart subsequent to each picking up two different passengers, which could suggest that the duo would lose those criminals unless they made a move.

“Oh, no you don’t.” Nick gripped driver’s handle, intending to twist it forth twice in order to become Hybrid Archer form.

Archer form would allow them to fire tracking arrows curvedly from Hybrid’s position to the vans.

No sooner had the fox changed the form than the weasel sprang at Hybrid.

Hybrid let go of the handle and struggle to get the Savage off the face. However, the monster clung onto the mixed-breed real tightly.

All of a sudden, the weasel Savage puffed up, pupils glowing hot purple, before it burst apart. A gushing boiling mist erupted. The explosive force blew Hybrid away to the wall.

The armored mammal fell down, sitting next to tod’s body, feeling dizzy, ringing in the ears, dim vision, owing to explosion. As a result, the duo were unable to detect the criminals’ whereabouts any longer.

Even though they were almost out of commission in that period, they were responsive enough to discern surroundings like pedestrians passing the mouth of the alley.

With the Savage being gone, they should detransform before any mammals saw Hybrid and passed out Nick together. Judy was going to pull the syringe.

“Not yet, Judy. You’ll receive damage if we detransform now. Wait a moment.” Nick, taking control of the body, stopped Hybrid’s left arm.

Judy agreed with him, thereby waiting. 1.. 2.. 3.. 4- While counting on to ten in her mind, she as well as Nick heard sirens of SCU vehicles.

Both conjectured the event might turn out worse if SCU managed to capture them. Therefore, 5-6-7-8-9-10! Judy quickened counting numbers and pulled the syringe once she reached 10.

Soon afterwards, Wolford, a member of SCU patrol team, chanced upon the familiar doe and tod in casual wear leaning against the wall in the alleyway as his team van was running past the lane between buildings.

He asked his crewmates to stop the van so that he could get off the van.

“Wilde! Hopps! Are you okay!? What happened?” Wolford rushed to see his police friends.

“We’re good.” The fox gave the rabbit support to stand.

“We happened on likely illicit trade.” She answered, informing only partial truth, keeping the Savage and Hybrid part a secret.

It was lucky for them that they had done detransformation and also put MidniDrivers away earlier than the dark brown timber wolf’s arrival.

“Where are SCU folks heading off in such a hurry?” The fox changed the topic to avoid any further questions about their situation from the wolf.

“SCU got several reports that Savages are going on a rampage in Rainforest District, plus battling with Hybrid!” Wolford claimed.

Nick and Judy traded a perplexed glance.

Savages are battling with Hybrid in Rainforest District…? They questioned how it was possible since they two, who could morph into Hybrid, were here in Savanna Central.

Hicpup Scinci, please?

Ahh thank you, Anon!!!!

Hicpup Scinci is a bronzeblooded troll who lives in a valley nearby a lake, far from any cities or subgrubs. He was raised by his loyal and kind barkbeast lusus. He has a particular affinity for any type of barkbeast-like creatures Despite his rather nice upbringing, the constant isolation and quiet has made him feel rather depressed. He doesn’t mention this to any of his online friends as he fears that any sign of weakness could get him culled. He doesn’t even talk about it to his moirail, a tealblood named Laroll, as Laroll would much rather complain about her own problems than listen to his.

Even in his isolation, Hicpup has found an affinity for board games, although he most of the time he as to play against himself. He gets rather saddened by the fact that he really can’t afford any other games. He particularly likes Troll Uno, but it would be much easier to say that he likes the thought of it as it’s not a one-player game. Even still, he refers to himself as a “Troll Uno” master despite only playing against himself. A game he can play with his trollian friends, however, is Cave-Treasure and Lusus Naturae. It’s basically a much safer, less real version FLARP. Hicpup likes to dabble in photography and likes to taking pictures of his lawnring and the surrounding forest. 

Hicpup also likes to look into history, much like violet-blooded friend of his named Sijiji. He particularly likes looking into different signs, where they came from, and who they belonged to. Hicpup also, when the mood strikes him, will also roleplay historical characters and events wit Sijiji. Although, this is rather embarrassing for him to admit. It’s much easier for him to do due to such rps being done through text, as he much more used to that rather than actually talking.
