Someone please stop him

Who: Perry, Rise, and Teddie
Where: The Ilex Forest
When: Day 1 of the Fourth Wall Event, Morning-ish
Summary: Perry is a horrible dad and decided to run away
Rating: Probably G, not expecting anything bad
Log:

When Perry wakes up, something immediately felt... off. Not bad or unusual, but off. He was too groggy to realize what was wrong at the moment. When he decided to rub the sleep out of his eyes though he was stopped by something hard. He blinked in confusion and to try to see what was going on.

… Yeah that was his bill. His successfully rubs his eyes to try to see if he was just dreaming before realizing how suddenly fuzzy he was. Yep, he was a platypus again.

For a moment, he was excited. He missed this body so much and it was nice to feel like himself again, even if, from the looks of it, he was still in Johto.

Then a horrid thought struck his mind. If anyone saw him in this body, then that means that if any of his family were to arrive, then if his family were to wind up here more people would know that his was their pet. And if his family were to find out that their pet wasn't mindless...

He would be ruined.

Quickly Perry gathered his belongings. Grabbing basically everything he had (and being thankful for his strength even in his tiny body) before realizing that he shouldn't just leave Rise-chan and Teddie in the dark. He jolted down a note as fast as he could while it was still dark out.

Dear Teddie and Rise-chan,

I'm sorry for doing this with no warning, but I have to go for a little while. I cannot say when I'll be back, but hopefully it will be soon. I trust that you'll get by fine without me and have left some money in case you need anything.

I just ask that you don't try to find me while I'm away. I'll be fine, don't worry. I just can't be seen for a little while

Your Friend,

Perry

Once he's finished with the note (and leaving 10,000 P like he promised), he placed it where Teddie could see it and ran off to find some place to hide. He wasn't really looking for any particular place, so when he reached Ilex Forest he honestly had no idea where he was.

Not that it mattered though. He needed to stay here for awhile and it's not like he needed to know where he is for a little while. And in the very least he found a water source to chill by so at least he doesn't need to worry about dehydrating if he's stuck like this for awhile.

At this point he's just resting his back against a nearby tree with his eyes closed. Just hoping that this gets over with soon so that he can come back to Goldenrod as soon as possible.

"Oh." She does sound disappointed.

"Do you work with other animals?"

[doesntdomuch]

Most agents are animals.

I had to work with a panda recently, actually.

Even though he kind of liked Peter now, it pained him a little to text that since humans do tend to like pandas a lot.

[dangerousidol]

"A panda? That's so cool! Have you worked with things like dogs and cats? Or are they all exotic?"

She's taking this really well, Perry.

[doesntdomuch]

Well... at least she's not taking it hard since that's part of the reason he ran away in the first place.

Still Perry didn't really interact with a lot of his coworkers in the first place so he feels a little improperly prepared to explain this stuff.

There are dogs and cats. Any animal can be an agent, actually.

Of course they have to be pretty sentient, but that's a given.

[dangerousidol]

Rise has seen some things in her life, and used to hang out with a rather sentient fox that could heal people and answered wishes. Plus, Teddie. You'll have to be weirder, Perry, for her to not take it well. At least you're not an alien.

"Wow... who was the worst to work with?"

[doesntdomuch]

That gave Perry a pause, since he felt kind of awkward answering it.

The panda.

[dangerousidol]

"... the panda..."

Why would a panda-... Panda's are notorious for one thing. "Was he lazy?"

[doesntdomuch]

Well the whole thing was kind of a touchy subject, but things were okay now. All he really needs to do is make sure it doesn't sound weird.

My nemesis cheated on me for him once.

Smooth.

[dangerousidol]

That... sounds... like some weird fanfiction or anime. Really. Maybe it was American? No, Japan would come up with something strange like that. After all, as an idol, she's had to do strange things, too.

"Wait, so you were dating your nemesis, and he cheated on you? Is that why you want a new one? Why didn't you just say so! I can help with that~"

No. Rise. No. That's not what that means at all.

[doesntdomuch]

Perry eyes widen in shock. If he didn't have fur now, Rise could easily noticed that his face flushed do to that question.

We're not dating. I meant "cheating on me as a nemesis", really.

And it's okay, he's not fighting him anymore so it's alright.

[dangerousidol]

"That's no fun! The way you keep talking about 'nemesis', it may as well be dating. Cheating on someone is usually for dating, not what you're talking about."

Pouts a lot.

[doesntdomuch]

What did he do to deserve this?

I'm sorry, but there really isn't a better way to describe it.

Honestly we're just friends now.

[dangerousidol]

Referring to your nemesis in a way that makes you sound like a couple will do that to you, Perry.

"You and the nemesis, or you and the panda?"

[doesntdomuch]

It's really hard to explain what this relationship is like, Rise-chan!

Both? But me and my nemesis aren't really nemeses anymore so we're just friends now.

[dangerousidol]

Just admit you love each other and things will be okay.

"How did you become friends? Was it some sort of 'we're tired of fighting and you're a really neat guy, let's hang out over beers or something?'"
