Ask Dorian; Too tired for Law Enforcement

Ask WT: Jack and Skye

 

WT: I sort of answered this one...like a long, long time ago...so I'm not even necessarily sure I might run with it if it comes up in the story, but in that initial ask I have Jack and Skye existing in my Bellhunterverse. My take on them at the time was that they were big actors who starred in exactly the type of films you suggested, spy films and other action movie titles. If I were to continue with that, I imagine the pair are often starring in roles opposite each other, and there are rumors that they are secretly an item, but even I'm not sure if I'd pull the trigger on it. I imagine Jack as the always sophisticated protagonist, always suave and cool on screen. However, off-screen he's a dork and kind of cowardly and neurotic. Afraid of stunts going wrong too close to him, or other such woes on set.

Skye, despite pulling off the femme fatale look on screen is actually quite down to earth (or Animalia in this case) off set, and certainly doesn't worry about hair and make-up unless she's forced to by her agent. I imagine in order to bring her in line with her 'techiness based on the sketches, she might have started off as a stage-hand and prop person before being spotted and worked into a film that sort of launched her career. She still prefers machine work, but largely does that in her private time.

I don't think I'll ever intend to write them into a fic outside of being on a poster or TV screen. Then again, the Gazelle X Finnick thing I eventually still want to do does have room for Gazelle to hobnob with other celebs, so perhaps they could make an in-person appearance. That said, I still don't even know if I'd keep them as movie stars. But then again, I don't want to have to write for a second, tech-savvy vixen...I'll end up making them too close to each other by mistake if I'm not careful.

Ask Nick and Judy: ZPD Academy

 

Judy: Generally cadets stay at the academy for about six months.

Nick: Of course I graduated in three...

Judy:*Laughs* You did not!

Nick: Oh, sounds like Carrots is jealous. I can't help it if I'm just that good...

Judy: Pft, you weren't even valedictorian...

Nick: *Gasp* Carrots...you wound me...

Judy: You're such a ham.

Nick: And speciest against pigs too? For shame...

Judy: *Shoves Nick Playfully* Would you knock it off!

Nick: *Places a paw to his forehead* ANot to mention abusive! My goodness, why do I always go after the bad girls...?

Judy: *Flashes the fox a dull glare*

Nick: You know you love me....

Judy: *Sighs* Do I know that? *Chuckles* Yes, yes I do...

Found AU Ask; Marcus' Adoption Hearing

 

Dorian: I think I can safely speak fer the pack by sayin' that we were purty much over the moon about Marcus' officially becomin' part of the family.

Audrey: We were hootin' and hollerin' so loud I'm surprised we didn't bring the courthouse down! *Giggles*

Dorian: Even Yuri, who swears he ain't big on pups seemed purty happy fur the boy.

Audrey: He can swear up and down pups don't get to him, but actions speak louder than words. All it takes is a few moments with Marcus er' Lily and that boy melts. *Snicker* even iffin' he refuses to admit it.

Dorian: What can I say, that boy has mine and my Pa's stubbornness all rolled up into one mammal. But he's still got a Hunter's heart.

Audrey: And his Ma's too...

Dorian: Y'all know what I meant! *Smooches Audrey* Wouldn't have it any other way either...

Audrey: Well, all that aside, I am sorry y'all couldn't be there fer the hearin' Luce and Pascha...

Padaprascha: Yes, I do wish we could have been here to see it, but I feel spending time with our new grandkitten has more than well made up for it.

Lucero: He's an amazing boy! Reminds me so much of myself when I was younger!

Padaprascha: You? *Shakes Head* No, Marcus is a sweet boy. *Giggles*

Lucero: Ah, you've got me there...I'll freely admit I was a bit of a hellion growing up back in Mane. *Chuckles* Still I'm so proud of Marcus, and how far he's come. And that goes double for our daughter and son-in-law!

Padaprascha: If I'm being honest we...were getting a little antsy to get grandkittens. We were beginning to wonder if we ever would at the rate things were going...

Lucero: Not to speak ill of our little Myra, but she's...well we've never seen her as the type of girl that would....settle down and raise cubs...She's a...hmm....a 'free spirit'.

Padaprascha: Yes...that is one word for it.

Lucero: So naturally when we found out about Marcus we ourselves were, as the Hunter's put it, "Over the moon!"My only regret is that they don't live closer to us! Zootopia is quite a far distance from San Furnando, and now that we have a grandkitten to fawn over not being just a stone's throw away from being able to see him feels like we're doing him a disservice!

Padaprascha: I must admit, it's quite heartbreaking to leave after each visit.

Lucero: Perhaps that settles it! I think we should look into moving here!

Padaprascha: M-Moving? From San Furnando?

Dorian: Lookin' to settle in the North Meadowlands eh? I think I can get y'all in touch with a few realtors I know iffin' yer really interested.

Padaprascha: But what about Myra?

Lucero: Myra is an adult, she can take care of herself. Marcus needs in Grandparents now!

Padaprascha: But moves are always so stressful...and we'd have to sell our house and move across country...

Lucero: Think of the kitten Pasha!

Padaprascha: A-Alright...I'm willing to move if you are my Love.

Lucero: Then it is settled, we will begin looking as soon as we get home!

Audrey: That's...a purty big decision to make that quickly...

Padaprascha: That's my Lucero...when he sets his mind to something, he does not second guess, he simply moves forward. For better or worse. *Giggles*

Ask Xavier: Peter Oryx versus The Zoo Fitness and Spa

 

Xavier: Actually yes, yes we did.

Malcolm: That was... Peter Oryx versus...what was that company called?

Xavier: The Zoo Fitness and Spa corporation.

Malcolm: Right, right...a gym company. No wonder I didn't remember it. *Chuckles*

Xavier: Granted the case was less about his sexual orientation, (although it was a factor), and more about the dating a predator element. For those who aren't familiar with the case, Peter was looking to be promoted to public relations for a number of years but was repeatedly passed up by newer, inexperienced hires that would ultimately be shuffled off to another department or fired outright when they failed to meet the requirements of the job. Of course, he had been suspicious for years that the decision more than likely had to do with his preference for predators, but he didn't have anything concrete until another employee turned over confidential internal discussions from those higher up in the company to Peter. Not only did those discussions express in no uncertain terms that a "Pred-Baiter" would not make a good public face in regards to their image, but the chat was regularly peppered with snide, cruel jokes at his expenses whenever his name was mentioned. Most of the jokes were aimed at his attraction to pred mammals, but there were more than a few homophobic remarks as well, mostly by employees of his own species who expressed colorful opinions about Peter's same-sex preferences made him a genetic dead end for keeping his species going.

Malcolm: As iffin' Oryx's need help in that department, ain't like they're endangered er' nothin'.

Xavier: Naturally it was a 'slam dunk' as they say, and as 'big' as it was in terms of the players involved, it was pretty quickly resolved. The company tried to claim the logs were fake at first, but the evidence from their computers showed it was a bald-faced lie. Then they tried to say it was doctored by a corporate rival, that was at least until other members of the chat who had been uncomfortable with the hostile tone toward Peter came forward to confirm the chat logs were unedited.

Malcolm: As if anyone believed that excuse to begin with...corporate rivals...yeesh...

Xavier: Needless to say the jury spent very little time deliberating before finding the company guilty, and awarding a massive windfall to Peter and his mate. I must say I was pretty proud of that case, even if I could have prosecuted it with a paw tied behind my back and a blindfold. *Laughs*

Malcolm: Mhh...Fluffybuns, I know y'all are many thangs, but I didn't take y'all fer bein' a kinky type.

Xavier: *Snort* Gingersnap! Don't give the public ideas, please...

Ask the Hunter Cops; What if Yuri's son was a firefighter?

 Zach: I don't think most of us would have a problem with that sorta thang to be honest, Well aside from Yuri...and maybe Wade. *chuckles*

Yuri: Damn right I'd have a problem with it! O'course I probably wouldn't have to worry about talkin' some sense into the boy over it...the problem more than likely solve itself...

Trenton: How's that?

Yuri: The rivalry in Seaotter between cops and firefighters run deep, real deep. So much so that iffin' the police force or firefighter's found out y'all got family in the other profession, they'll actively discourage y'all from joinin' with everything they can legally get away with.

Zach: Not sure I believe that...I mean I know the rivalry is pretty strong over there, what with that debut of yours in the firemam's calendar and all, but that just seems a little out there...

Yuri: Believe what y'all will, but I'm tellin' you they'd turn my boy away in a heartbeat. If not fer havin' a cop in the family then...well...y'know I'm his Pa. *Chuckles* They may not like the SPD, but they especially hate me.

Wade: But let's say, hypothetically speakin', they decided to let him join?

Yuri: Well iffin' that point was the case, I'd try to talk him out o' joinin' them soot shovelers. Iffin' that didn't work, well the boy would have to be a legal adult to join anyway, so he'd also be able to live on his own too.

Wade: You'd kick your son out of the house because you don't like his career choice? Jeeze, and here I thought the way Pa handled Vern was harsh...

Trenton: Don't let Pa hear you say that.

Yuri: Hey, iffin' he's willin' to deal with bein' hazed by firefighter's fer bein' related to police that's his prerogative. I don't need to SFD havin' a direct line to harass the rest of my family through 'em is all...

Wade: They'd really do that?

Yuri: I told ya, that rivalry runs deep. Describin' the relationship between the departments as 'bitter' barely scratches the surface.

Zach: if it's that bad in Seaotter, I can't imagine how bad it is in Zootopia.

Wade: It isn't really that bad honestly. Sure we've got a healthy rivalry goin' between departments but we don't take it home with us...we usually air out our grievances in charity sports games and stuff. O'course...participatin' in the annual inter-department hockey game has certainly gained me some enemies at the Tundratown Fire Department.

Zach: *Laughs* Hoo boy! They let you play in those? As in more than one? After seein' what you can do?

Wade: You know I don't do it on purpose!

Yuri: Alright spill it "Mr. Puck Pelleter", how many TTFD workers did you send to the hospital with them 'laser guided' slapshots o' yers?

Wade: W-well...counting last year's game...er....n-nine...

Trenton: Sweet Sawgrass! Nine!?

Yuri: Shoot, now y'all got me embarrassed. I've only cleaned the clock's of three o' them firefighters over five years durin' our hockey bouts.

Wade: I WAS AIMIN' FER THE GOAL!

Trenton: You always say that, but the puck always seems to have other ideas...
