A Youthful Return! I am but a Pup, Yearning for his Dam: O, Shelter Me in your Motherly Bosom!

Who: Jock, Blue
What: Jock is babby
Where: Dorms
When: 3am
Warnings: Jock is babby

Jock awoke in the middle of the night, feeling strange and out-of-sorts. Why was he in this bed? What bed was this? It smelled like a good bed, but he didn't sleep in beds, not usually. He was usually just outside! Outside and sleeping on the ground! Not inside and in good-smelling beds.

The bed smelled like him, only moreso. Like, super-Jock smelling. It was hard to describe. But it smelled good, like... Jock. But more Jock than Jock.

"Mama?" he asked to the darkness.

That's when he noticed another smell -- the smell of a man he didn't recognize. Who was this strangely-smelling man? Why was he in a room with a weird-smell guy? Ugh, it smelled like old paper got married to an ink bottle. (The open copy of A Treatise on Unguents. Proclaimed Indispensable by Alchemist, Chirurgeon, and Sorcerer Alike: Containing a Distinct Classification of Uses both Benign and Malignant. Building and Expanding Upon Marius's Unguento Taxinomia, Including Dozens of the Most Recently Discovered Salves, Ointments, Embrocations, Liniments and Emollients heretofore Undiscussed by Critical or Popular Publication. Illustrated Lavishly with Engravings and Several Hand-Tinted Plates. Published with the Highest Accuracy of Information in the IVth Year of the Reign of Exalt Emmeryn in the City of Ylisstol was likely adding to this effect.)

He didn't like it. It was awful. He needed to get out and get to his mama right away. He stumbled out of bed and flopped to the ground and realized, suddenly, that he had people hands instead of paws. Oh no. Oh no, what happened. Why was he a people? Why was he wearing these far-too-large-for-him-pajama pants? Where was all of his beautiful fur? Why wasn't he wearing a shirt if he didn't have his beautiful fur? It was so cold without his beautiful fur.

He grabbed a sheet off of the bed and wrapped it over his shoulders. It at least smelled right. He then, on wobbly people feet (how do people walk like this all of the time, this is awful) made his way to the door and, using the strange appendages on the ends of his limbs, managed to open the door.

He howled. It sounded wrong coming out of his mouth. Darn people throat. He stumbled down the hallway with his nose held up. He could smell her out, even with this darn people nose, if he really tried. And he really, really, tried. And he could smell her smell -- it was as if she came to visit this room on a regular basis. He could trace her. He could be an Odor Sleuth. He could follow his nose to the fruity taste that shows to Blue. He could do it.

And then, after a great deal of stumbling, and trying to hold his pants up, and trying to not trip over the sheet, and trying to work stairs with only two legs, both up and down, he managed to get it. He figured out where Blue had to be. Her smell was coming out of a door. He howled outside the door and scratched at it with his weak little baby hands. "Maaaaaamaaaaaaaaa!" he cried. "Maaaaaaaaaaaaamaaaaaaaaaa! Heeeeeeeelp! Heeeeeeelp! Heeeeeeeeelp!"

Enjoy your 3am wake up call, Blue.

Oh. Yes. Thank you.

Her eyes flew open at the first sign of the scratching howl combo as she jerked awake in her bed. What was THAT? It was so loud and alarming and entirely unexpected. Holy crap.

Blue was already dragging her bed-headed self out from her sheets when actual words got tossed into the mix.

Oh.

No.

She didn't know that exact voice, but she knew that whining tone. There was really only one explanation for it. Blue squeaked out a "sorry!" in Blaze's general direction as she hurried over to open the door. The sight of a highly disheveled, weeping child greeted her. It was a miniature bawling Jock. "Ah. Shit."

Blue dropped down into a crouch, holding her arms out to him. "Shhh, shh, c'mere. Mama's here."

"Mama, mama, mama," said Jock, grabbing onto her and licking her face as soon as he could. "Mama, mama, mama, I'm a people, mama."

He sniffled. "Mama, why am I a people?"
travelingbelle: (Blushing in surprise)

[personal profile] travelingbelle 2014-07-09 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh god what a precious, amnesiac child. Or. Something. Blue didn't know what was going on, but at the moment her only motherly thought was to comfort her whimpering pup. She could worry about the details later.

She awkwardly kind of shuffled hopped to the side, one arm cradled around him while she eased her dorm room door shut behind her.

"It's because we're at school," she murmured gently as she got that taken care of. Now her whole attention could be focused on Jock, which was done by comfortingly rubbing the soft hair just behind one of his ears. "Do you... remember coming to school with me?"

"We were on route 38, going to Olivine City, mama. There's a dumb steel-type trainer there that I was going to beat for you, mama. I wanted to beat her so much but now I'm a little boy and I can't do anythiiiiiiiiiiiing," he sobbed. "I don't even have my fur! I wanted to beat her! I wanted to beat her for you! They're steel types! They're so awful! And now I caaaaaaaaaaan't."

He is clinging to your motherly form and weeping giant, stupid boy tears.

A precious, time displaced child? Blue blinked, hugging this tiny Jock to her on automom while she let things process. The last thing he knew was outside Olivine? She could recall it, of course, but that had been years and years ago. Possibly too many years for a tiny puppy boy to process.

That would have to wait until he was calm enough to listen however. Blue combed her fingers through his hair, gently bestowing kisses on his crown. "Shh, shh, it's ok. It's ok, Jock, don't worry. You don't have to be a little boy if you don't want to be."

"Mama, mama, I want to be your beautiful, handsome, favorite growlithe again, mama, I want to, I want to be you favorite growlithe in the whole world but, but I can't be, because I'm a little boooooy and I don't know how to walk good or anything. All I wanted to do was set some magnemites on fire for you, mama. Senna will hate me now. Kiki will make fun of me. Nobody will like me. I'll have to walk behind you forever because I'll never learn how to walk good on only two feet how do you do it you are a miracle, mama," said Jock in the throws of his hideous passion.

"Did I do something bad? Why can't I be so soft and fuzzy anymore? Your favorite pokemon to snuggle with when you go to sleep? I'll just, I'll just be the guy who walks behind you forever, falling over, carrying all your things for you for the rest of my life. Forever. Please don't leave me, I'll die. I'm so sorry, it's all my fault, I love you." He began to lick your arm furiously with his human tongue. It tasted less good as a people. Everything was awful.

Blaze picked just the wrong moment to walk into her own room, she decided. There was her roommate, with a little blonde boy awkwardly licking her cheek, tears streaming down his face. She had absolutely no idea what to think.

"...I seem to be interrupting something," she said finally.

A cat walking on only two legs, and speaking in regular people talk? TEAM ROCKET STRANGE ENEMY POKEMON.

Jock sprang up out of his mama's arms and, landing on his hands and knees, growled and grit his teeth. And then he started barking.
travelingbelle: (Blushing in yelling alarm)

[personal profile] travelingbelle 2014-07-19 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Awwwwww crap.

"Ah! Jock, hang on, its fine!" Blue sputtered as she scrambled after her puppy-gone-boy to loop her arms around his middle. "That's Blaze, she's a friend! Shhhh, shhhh."

Don't wake up the whole floor. Don't do it.
vela_nova: (Hold on)

[personal profile] vela_nova 2014-07-19 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Blaze was admittedly taken aback when the strange little boy started to bark at her, and jerked back in surprise. Once Blue had a good grip on him, she tried to make sense of what was happening. "Jock... Isn't Jock your Arcanine? The big hairy man who acts like a confused child half the time?"
flamepuppy: (WTFface)

[personal profile] flamepuppy 2014-07-19 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
"Arcanine, mama?" Jock suddenly asked, turning around in her arms to face Blue. "I'm not an Arcanine. I'm a Growlithe. I'm not a big hairy man, I'm just a little kid. Mama, why did that cat say that? Do you... do you have... an Arcanine you never told me about?"

He looks so heartbroken. "Am I not your special favorite Growlithe forever?"
travelingbelle: (Clutch your chest and suck it up)

[personal profile] travelingbelle 2014-07-20 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
"You are definitely my only Growlithe," Blue assured Jock sweetly and kissed his forehead. How to explain this though... Blue exchanged a look with her room mate, silently pleading for a bit of understanding in this confusing mess, and sighed.

"I think you kind of... Um. Time travelled a little," Blue attempted. "Stuff like that... Happens here?"

She did not know how to explain this. Oh god.
flamepuppy: (WTFface)

[personal profile] flamepuppy 2014-07-20 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
"But, but, mama, why am I a little boy? Where did I time travel to? How did I time travel? Why are you at this school? Why are you in a room with a purple Meowth? Why, mama? Why is everything terrible? Why aren't we camping, and why can't I beat that stupid old steel-type gym? Why am I so cold? Why don't I have my beautiful fur, and why are my pants so big?"

So many unanswered questions. So many brilliant tears.

"Help me, mama. I need you; help me." He paws at your face with his little boy hand. "I love you."
vela_nova: (Unamused)

[personal profile] vela_nova 2014-07-23 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Purple... Meowth..." Blaze muttered, bad memories of Seth rushing back to her for a moment. She shook her head quickly.

"Perhaps I should come back another time," she suggested, feeling entirely too awkward for her liking at seeing this... whatever it was.
travelingbelle: (Forlorn considerations)

[personal profile] travelingbelle 2014-07-28 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
The Pokemon trainer scooped the little boy Jock up into her arms so that he'd know she wasn't ignoring him, even though she was turning her immediate attention to Blaze. "No, no, it's your room and it is super late. You get some rest and we'll get this cleared up. I'm sorry for the trouble." It was entirely too 3 am for her roomie to be going elsewhere.

Blue carefully hoisted herself to her feet, carrying Jock with her. "Let's figure it out outside, Jock. We can look at the stars just the same as always and you can keep me warm, even as a little boy."

flamepuppy: (WTFface)

[personal profile] flamepuppy 2014-07-28 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes, mama," said Jock, hugging her and still crying his warm, stupid boy tears into her shoulder. "But I don't have my beautiful, soft fur... I can't... I can't keep you warm. I don't have any... any fur, mama"

Saying that just made him cry more. This was officially the worst day in his life. He clung to her as a sailor adrift at sea clings to the bit of flotsam that keeps his head above the waves.

"You'll do a fine job."

They could sort of fix that problem too. Blue made a pit stop at her closet on her way to the door, carefully shifting her weight so she could fumble around inside. It did not take her long to find the big, soft sweater she pulled out, seeing as there was very little else in there. It was fairly fluffy, and the Growlithe child's keen nose would notice it smelt very strongly like him. It was as mysterious as the sheets he had woken up in, gosh.

Blue shuffled over to the door, giving her room mate another look as she backed through it.

"Er... Have a good night, Blaze. Sleep well??"
flamepuppy: (WTFface)

[personal profile] flamepuppy 2014-07-28 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
Jock grabbed the sweater with one hand and clung to Blue with the other. He buried his face in it and smelled it deeply. It smelled good. Very good. And it felt right. Like things were supposed to feel.

He still didn't stop crying stupid boy tears, however.
travelingbelle: (Thoughtful conversation)

[personal profile] travelingbelle 2014-07-31 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
AND SO Blue left the room with her sobby boy child and made her way to the great outdoors where he could be a sobby boy child and not wake up the whole floor and she wouldn't have to deal with Bulba or Zelda hiking upstairs to tell her to shhhh.

She picked a soft spot out in the grass of the quad to sit down and settled Jock down in her lap. The summer night air was chilly, and the grass was cool. Jock wasn't quite as warm as he was as an Arcanine, but even as a little Growlithe boy he was undeniably a furnace, so Blue did not mind at all. Well, he was warm to her, at any rate. A sudden lack of fur was a familiar plight.

"Here, let's get this sweater on you. You'll feel a lot warmer with it." Bulba held her arms straight up in the air. "Can you lift your arms like this for me?"
flamepuppy: (WTFface)

[personal profile] flamepuppy 2014-07-31 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Jock, his face a mess of tears and snot, shook his head yes. He could do anything that Blue asked him to do. He had to. And this was easy. Sort of. It was funny to think about being upright instead of prone.

He raised his hands up and let Blue slip the sweater down over him. It felt good and warm. He liked it. It was a bit big on him. More than a bit big. But he was fine with that. It smelled like himself, somehow. Sort of.

He looked up at Blue, his red-rimmed eyes trying to look brave but completely failing. "Mama. Why am I a little boy? Why won't you tell me why I'm a little boy? Did I do something wrong, mama? I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to do it. Was it the, the berries and bag I ate, mama? I'm so sorry just, just let me go back, mama. I'll never be bad ever again."
travelingbelle: (Clutch your chest and suck it up)

[personal profile] travelingbelle 2014-08-03 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Don't make promises you can't keep," Blue said with a tired, slightly amused smile. Jock had a knack for getting into trouble even when he didn't mean to, which was a trait that hadn't changed at all.

She sighed, reaching out wipe his tears and snot off his face with her hands. When that was done she pulled him close to cradle him back against her chest and stroke his hair. "You're not a little boy because you did something bad. You learned how to look like a person while we were here. It was an HM that you got into. I don't know why you're so little right now though, but I bet it is because this school does weird things sometimes. You can be a puppy again whenever you'd like though, I think. You probably just have to think about turning back into one."
flamepuppy: (WTFface)

[personal profile] flamepuppy 2014-08-05 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Jock sniffled. "But, mama, how did I get here? I don't remember coming here or learning an HM about turning into a little boy from you. Why don't I remember doing any of these things? Why don't you know that I'm little? I'm a Growlithe, I'm supposed to be little. When did we get here? Did you not want to go to Olivine City?"

Poor lost little puppy is still very lost. His world is crazy and makes no sense.
travelingbelle: (Default)

I'm so sorry

[personal profile] travelingbelle 2014-09-05 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Mom's world didn't make that much more sense anymore.

"Well... Not a lot of this is going to make sense to you, but I promise it's all true, ok?" Blue nuzzled her nose against his soft hair, taking in a breath of fire puppy smell. Puppies smells were admittedly a bit nicer than dog smells. It was a subtle difference, but a nostalgic one all the same.

"We came here two years ago. You don't remember because you haven't done it yet. We did go to Olivine, and you did a very good job. That was just... A very long time ago, for me."

Blue lifted her head and gently picked at one of his sweater sleeves. "This sweater? You help me make it, you know, in a few years for you. With your fur, once you have too much of it. Yesterday you were an Arcanine, see."
flamepuppy: (WTFface)

[personal profile] flamepuppy 2014-09-12 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
"I was... I was an Arcanine, mama?" he asked, staring up into your eyes. "Me? An Arcanine? Yesterday? Too much fur? Mama? I'm supposed to be your Arcanine? Mama?" His hands are now reaching to paw at your cheek. "Mama? Do I look cool? Mama?" His stupid little boy eyes are still all red and tear-blurry, but less tear-filled than a minute ago.

"Am I handsome, can we still snuggle, do you let me sleep in your blanket, do you let me let you ride me, does Sienna still make fun of me for being little, do I get to learn good moves, where did you get the fire stone, am I still your favorite?"

Answer his millions of questions, mom.
