Uh...guys? I feel like I've missed something here. Why is there a... [Finn is staring at something that's off screen, eyebrows scrunched in confusion.

Hurriedly:] I don't know what it is. [/end hurried tone] It looks like that dog thing kind of? But it's long and it won't let me in the stables. [It's also tiny but Finn isn't going to blurt that out on the network for everyone to hear.

But you can tell he has a new outfit on, and he looks a little beat up and ~~sooty~~ muddy, thanks to this. The long thing? A ferret.]

Did the gods do something with animals again? [Rubbing at his face, speaking softly now:] First a dog tackles and sits on me, now this wiggly thing. [He's...tired. Already.] I just wanted to check on my horse. [Louder, directed back at the feed now:] There's not door guards now, right?

[ Mary squints at the image on her bracelet hologram screen. ]

It... looks like some sort of weasel. Or mink. [ It could make a nice stole, but maybe she won't mention that. ] It won't let you pass?

[He totally hadn't meant to share the image of it but he's not really good at the camera stuff.]

So then it's not a kind of dog? [Frowning at it.] Every time I try it either tries to climb up my leg or bite me.

No. They can be territorial, I think, or so I recall from hunting. Perhaps it wants something? I've heard that others have encountered animals here lately that pester people until they get what they want.

[ Asgard has an odd relationship with animals. Either the Wanderers are turning into them, the natives are killing them or the pets are making strange demands. ]

It wants to keep me out of the stable, I'm sure. [Finn is making such a stink-face at this thing.]

The only thing I have food wise is an apple, and that's already spoken for. [Tell him about it. He's suffered the first two already.]

I'm not sure what a mink would want... I suppose it's not speaking, is it? [ That'd be too easy, wouldn't it? ] I can ride down if you'd like. Perhaps I can find a dog to help chase it away.

... [Don't mind him. Attempting to listen to the ferret. And then talking to it:] You don't understand me, do you?

[And off camera she continues to do her hissy bouncing fit as if she didn't understand a thing.]

No.. I had a different wiggling thing respond to me a few months ago. I don't think it's a person. [Moving the camera to the dog behind him.] And he's no aid. [Doggo is panting happily.]

I don't think it's a person. A lot of these sort of domestic animals have appeared lately and many of them seem to want something. Of course, none of us speaks mink, as far as I know. [ Or maybe someone did. There were a lot of strange people here. ]

[ She smiles and gives a little laugh at the dog. ] You'd need a hound. There might be one around, but it would probably be easier for me to ride down. Shall I come?

[Last time it was a snake too. Totally different wiggle-worm.] So you're telling me this thing is domesticated? Is it angry at me then? [Why wiggle-worm keeping him in the rain? D:]

I mean, you don't have to? [aka, he doesn't want anyone to get wet on his account.] But if you think you'll be able to get rid of her.

Perhaps? I've never known anyone to keep a mink before, but I've seen stranger things here.

I'm out riding anyway. [ Basically, she's already wet, so it's no big deal. ] I'll be there shortly. Let's see how it reacts to an eight-legged horse.

I guess...they'd be good for hunting something in holes? [It kinda makes sense in his head. But Finn's home isn't at all normal.

He's not sure how scared she'll be of it, honestly, given she's in the doorway of that stable.] ...Maybe you think she's trying to protect me then if she is? [?????]

[ He's trying not to laugh, promise. Trying is the operative word; while he's not up front laughing, there's still amusement on his face. ]

What d'you mean, a dog thing? A long dog thing? What's it doing that you can't get in? [ And then he pauses — ] More importantly, what do you mean by again?

[LOOK. HE'S HAVING A BAD DAY. ;a;]

It's a dog, isn't it? A type of dog? [...There aren't space dogs...? I don't think. I've never seen one in Star Wars aside from the crystal salt foxes. And it's definitely not a fox.]

Every time I try it either climbs up my leg or tries to bite me. [A pause.] When we were...uh...animals.

It climbs up your leg? Just how big is this thing?

[ Congrats, man. Who knows what animals other than wookies exist in the War of the Star; now, Vax is imagining something immense.

And then he pauses. Cocks his head to the side. And the amusement is replaced with straight up confusion. ]

I'm sorry, what? "When you were animals?" Did someone cast a massive polymorph spell? How could everyone be animals?

[Cue Finn turning the view enough to feature the thing. It's not a chonky ferret, just standard size.

Heaven forbid fathiers ever show up. But given they're bigger than horses the chances are slim-to-none.]

There was a...hiccup—I think—and we all turned into animals for a few days instead of uh...animals showing up. [Which. Farm animals did a few days/weeks later. All proper-like. And then the slaughtering began.]

[ As soon as he sees the ferret, any traces of concern are gone. And just. The widest grin on his face. ]

You mean to tell me... You're being harassed by a ferret? Sure, they're a bit bitey, but they're totally harmless!

[ mmmmmmmmmm he has concerns about that statement. ] I do hope you realize I'm going to ask what you mean about a hiccup. What kind of hiccup could do that? Even the most powerful people I know can't do something like that.

It bites! [He'd show the bites on his legs but he'd rather not. And the claws, we'll not mention those.] And I really don't want to drag it into the stables.

[With horses. That...may or may not stomp on his feet attempting to get the small thing dancing around their numerous feet.]

We don't think the god that brought the animals in meant to uh...make us animals. Hence the hiccup.

Have you tried feeding it? I'm pretty sure that gets most pets to stop biting. What do ferrets like... [ He's only seen them in cages from a distance, so he's not too sure. ] Jerky, maybe? Seems a waste to give them sharp teeth for plants.

[ There's a nod at that though. Okay. If it was a god thing, then that makes more sense. ]

Well, gods are capable of ridiculous things; I'm certainly no stranger to it, so that makes more sense. [ He grins a little bit. ] You know that means I'm going to ask if you were turned into an animal too, right?

[Finn makes an exasperated sort of noise, his other arm sort of flailing at his side.] I just woke up, the only food I have is an apple for the horse! [aka, he only thought that far. And the apple is probably bruised from his earlier doggo-contact.]

...I don't want to think about jerky right now. [The sacrifices. Sob.]

Three of them. Annoyingly enough.

—you know, that reminds me, you have some weird horses here, man. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with them, but I'm certainly used to horses having... I don't know, half this number of legs.

[ And then Vax grins. He's only got a limited supply left now, he really shouldn't, but... ] If you want to try it, I've got a bit left from my rations. I'd be willing to part with a piece, if you think it might stop the ferrets.

[ And there's a gesture, a wave of his hand. ] Well, go on. You can't just say you were turned into three animals and then not say what.

I don't even have horses in my home. [So imagine how he felt.] But I've...gotten used to them. Even if I agree with the too many feet thing. [They were murder to try and get used to personally.]

I'm willing to try anything to get rid of it at the moment. [Even if it means touching the jerky.] Where might I find you?

Why are the animals that I turned into important? It won't happen again. [Hopefully.]

Oh that's a ferret! I've turned Sandy into one enough times to know. They're not like dogs, they're some sort of rodents, except not.

I think it might want to play or it just likes you.

Did you say a dog tackled you? Also nice new clothes, man. I like the retro look.

[Face screwing up in confused 'why'.] Does that explain why this one is so...bitey?

[Rubbing at his face.] Yeah, it's...following me. For some reason. [He turns the view enough to show the dog. If Peter ran into Finn at all during Skadi's event as this dog, he might recognize it.] I was walking and then I was face first in the mud with him on my back.

[Finn looks down at himself, stopping a moment.] ...Thanks. [It's kinda flat? As if he's not a fan of it. Even if he looks good in it.]

Yes, I'm afraid it does. Sandy is well behaved because she's a familiar. Real weasels are easily excitable, to say the least, and will run around like crazy and gnaw on everything. It's probably not mad at your or anything, they're just like that.

[ His eyes focus on the dog but Peter doesn't really remember seeing it before. ] Ah, it looks so fluffy! I'm sure it wants you as his friend.

You don't sound too happy, is something wrong?

[Finn's staring this wiggly worm down.] Excitable is an understatement, man. What usually works on distracting them? [But he's glad enough that he's not made it angry somehow. Yet.]

I think that's what I'm afraid of. This guy weighs a ton. [But he's super cute! Look at that adorable panting/tail wag.

Finn glances around to make sure no one overhears him.] ...I think I went home. [A pause.] Scratch that, I know I went home. We ended up on a First Order ship.

[ It is a very fluffy wiggly worm too. ]

Uhm, wrap a clean sock into a ball and throw it around? It's not as if weasels and ferrets need much of an excuse to start running around madly. They trip over their own feet in excitement sometimes.

I also got a huge monster dog under my care, trust me I know they're hard to handle. [ Peter turns the camera around to focus it on his new golden retriever...Thor. ]

That's both great and awful. What happened when you were there?

[Alas, he's got neither of these things on hand. Dirty socks and a slightly bruised apple now but... One of those is spoken for.] ...So maybe if I take off running the other way, it'll follow me?

[Blinking.] Is it really that shiny? [lol Shiny coats. What's that.] Kind of funny how we both wound up with dogs that match our hair, though. [Random observation hoy!!]

A lot... Betrayal, fights...fire... [Salt, AT-ATs. Finn does grin just a little bit.] Got to kick my former general's trash-can ass. [Finn. But Phasma is a shiny trash-can.]

[ Do not throw dirty socks at the bittey catsnake, Finn! That wouldn't be nice. ]

Perhaps, yes. Ferrets and weasels are weird, they just like to run everywhere so you can never be fully sure of what they will do at any given moment.

The dog? Yeah, even the first day I met him when he was all wet and covered in patches of mud, his fur still looked good. Unbelievable. But hah, you are right about being matched.

[ It's kinda odd, in a good way, now that Finn mentions it. Peter ends frowning at Finn's explanation, the 'betrayal' part causing it but then he makes a small, understanding 'ah' sound. ]

It does sound like a lot. And also like your former general deserved it. I bet that felt cathartic.

[Nooooo, he's not going to give her the dirty sock. ;a; But he squints at the ferret, glancing over his shoulder at the dismal rain outside and debating running to try and outsmart her.] Still might get me inside... [More to himself.]

Yeah, the mud seems kind of all over the place. He didn't want to get muddy so down I went.

[A grin. Seeming more like himself.] Yeah, she did. But what's been going on with all these animals?

[ Good, good :C And even if Finn's mostly talking to himself, Peter caught that over the shoulder glance, so he huffs in amusement. ] Maybe it wanted to crash in a comfy, dry and warm place for a while? That might be why it's in the stables. Animals get territorial quickly.

Makes sense. Avoiding mud with this weather it's almost impossible, though.

[ That's the Finn he knows and loves. ]I'm happy for you, man. No idea, maybe they came from the same place as the cows and pigs?

[Huff huff.] Think maybe I can get her territorial over something else? Since I don't have a distraction item? [He's going to try the running thing after finishing this conversation tho.]

He's done pretty good so far. But he doesn't mind the rain at all. [Amused and confused tone.]

I take it we're not doing the uh...parties like before, right? [The rain hopefully keeping that to a minimum.] No need to go on a rescue rampage?

Sorry Finn, I'm out of ideas. I had my own disagreements with furry creatures int he past and they're all hard to handle. Just be happy this one doesn't know how to shoot, unlike Rocket. [ Good luck with that, friend. ]

Hah, of course he doesn't. Dogs live happier life than you and me, It's just a fact.

No, so far no one tried to attack the new pets. I don't think anybody would let them do that, either.

Hey, no worries. I'll...figure something out. [Also aid is coming towards him in the shape of a woman on a horse!] Wait... You know a furry creatures that can shoot?!

Good. Good. On both counts. [Happier lives and pet protection.]

Be careful to avoid bites. [ Oh? Well then, that sounds like it will be interesting. ] Yeah. Shoot, design superweapons that can blow up moons...actually, I still have the Hadron Enforcer around the ship. It just doesn't have power. Rocket is pretty unique, he's the only one I know to be like that.

[ They forced him to be like that but that Peter doesn't share. even if Rocket isn't here, that part of his life is private. ]

Yes, very good.

[He kinda figured the biting with her gnashing her teeth at him. But so far he's been able to avoid them.] And his name is "Rocket". [Finn's whole "you gotta be kidding me" motions going on here.]

I take it he's not here since there aren't things blowing up every five minutes? [He's joking about that but the question itself is sincere.]

[ Peter gives him a 'I know, I know' at the look Finn gives him about Rocket's name. ] I don't know if they gave it to him or he chose it himself. It seems like his style to give himself that kind of name.

No, he isn't. [ The question gets a sad look from Peter but he tries to cover it up quickly. ] If he were, I bet that the Farm wind would be already finished and my ship fully functional. He's as talented as destroying s he is at building things from scratch.

I guess if it makes sense for him... [Then again. Rubbing at his face.] I didn't really pick my name either. My friend Poe gave it to me. [So Finn has no room to complain.]

Sounds like a really smart uh...guy? [Doesn't wanna degrade him by calling him an animal but at the same time?????]

Your friend? How so? Did you get married or...?

[ Finn you are not making a lot of sense now. ]

Guy is right. [ Peter confirms because he knows it's better to call Rocket that, the raccoon would appreciate it. ]

[asdkhglahsle,rhaklsdkajflsdhl;ajsa

Red-faced Finn is red. Flustered:] No! [And then a little less hastily:] No... I uh... I broke him out of prison. And Poe he gave me my name and a new lease on life.

[Poe is his savior in a way.]

Ey I wasn't judging or anything.

[ Explain yourself better and Peter won't make assumptions, Finn. But he might still tease you because this is the first time he sees the man blushing and it's spectacular ]

Oh that's a great start of a friendship, man. breaking out of prison together is how is how my ow team started as well. [ What is with prisons and friendship??? ]
