PlatyPost #4

[ttlynotanagent]

[Cambot was in Phineas's room or what HAD been Phineas's room. A platypus lies curled up on the bed and at first it looks like he's sleeping. Cambot zooms in closer and notices that the platypus seems to have...tears?

Can platypi even cry?

The platypus gives a sniff gets up and turns around, putting its back to Cambot and curling back up on the bed.

He'd been without the Flynn-Fletcher family up here for awhile but at least Phineas had always been here and now he was...gone. Perry was sure of it because he'd gone to look for the boy at about 3 in the morning and hadn't slept since.

What was he supposed to do without Phineas? He had ALWAYS been with Phineas.]

[Chibi peers into the camera, then trots off to find Perry. He's not one to leave a friend in need on his own!]

[punsofiron]

[...that is the saddest thing Liz has ever seen. Seriously. She thought only puppies were good at the sadface.

She finds Phineas's room fairly quickly, slowly coming up to sit on the bed with Perry. There's a brief pause, and she carefully picks the platypus up to set him in her lap, petting him.]

I'm sorry little guy. I liked the kid too.

[ttlynotanagent]

[Perry's not going to look up when Chibi comes in. You'll just have to poke him or something Chibi. Dude is depressed]

[ttlynotanagent]

[Nope. Perry is good, he's just usually so calm, cool, and collected that you don't see it.

He doesn't bother looking up when he hears the door open. This is worst than when Phineas told him to leave or if not worse at least a close second.

He sighed when Liz picked him up but did curl up closer to her. He knew he still had people that cared about him up here...but no one could replace Phineas]

[littlesun]

[Chibi heads over and curls up next to Perry, nosing his shoulder lightly. He's here for you buddy. No matter what, he's here for you.]

[royal_moonrise]

Oh, goodness, poor little one...

[guardiano_perduto]

...heya, pal. Want some company?

[punsofiron]

[She just holds him gently in her lap and pets him. Poor guy...he looked so heartbroken. She guessed even platypi could get attached to people.]

I'm sure he's fine, at least...

[She wasn't entirely sure if Perry could understand him, he never seemed to do much when she saw him. But if he couldn't, well maybe if she just kept talking to him she could provide some sort of comfort.]

[sailorlaughter]

[If there's one thing Pinkie can't stand, it's to see any of her friends frowning. She arrives a few minutes after the broadcast, sliding a bowl of fresh shrimp across the bed towards Perry before jumping up herself to lie next to him.]

Phineas, too? I'm so so sorry!

[yabigfurball]

[Ammy just watches the feed for a little bit, and then finally leaves the view of the Cambot.]

[After a little bit, she's outside Phineas's door, scratching at it so that he's aware of her presence.]

[halfdarkened]

[Riku looks a little concerned, tilting his head as he sees a little green lump. There's a flash of realization in his eyes as it begins to sink in that Phineas has been gone a while. He goes to rinse his plate and leaves the kitchen, heading to Phineas's room. He puts his hand up to knock, then shakes his head and just opens the door. There you are, Perry.]

[He turns to both Cambots and frowns.] Hey. You guys want to have people staring at you when you're sad? He's an animal, but give him a break. [He points to the door, waiting for them to leave. Riku's Cambot manages to clip the doorframe on the way out, special little thing.]

[ttlynotanagent]

[Perry is not going to do much, but he does lift his head a little to give Chibi a pained, yet grateful smile.]

[ttlynotanagent]

[He can. And Phineas was the most important person in the world to him!

Still, he appreciates what Liz is doing and will stay in her lap for awhile since, well, it really is a comfort]

[ttlynotanagent]

[He's not responding to Cambot since, well, even with Phineas gone it seems wrong to just suddenly REVEAL himself.

He sighs though, he wished Cambot had just left him alone in this]

[ttlynotanagent]

[Perry doesn't really react, his back still to cambot. Partly it's a privacy thing, partly it's a he doesn't feel like turning around just yet.

He does sigh sadly though, take that as you will]

[ttlynotanagent]

[He appreciates it Pinky. He just ignores the shrimp though, clearly not in the mood for treats just yet.

He sighs sadly and curls up with Pinkie.]

[video --> action?]

[guardiano_perduto]

[He remembers where Perry's staying, at least, so he'll just make his way over there without a word. He's not sure what's going on, exactly, but the most he can do is be there for his buddy.

If the door's unlocked, he'll just slip right in. If not, he'll knock first.]

[ttlynotanagent]

[Sorry Ammy. Perry is in full on sulk mode and isn't leaving this bed while it still smells like Phineas. The door probably isn't fully closed though since cambot got in.]

[punsofiron]

[All the comforting, Perry. All of it.]

[ttlynotanagent]

[Yep. For once he's not the one missing. Although honestly Riku if you had said that out loud Perry might have gotten pretty upset.

The cambots leave as requested, though Perry doesn't move. This isn't so much about his disguise any more as it is about just missing the most important person to him. He'd never been without Phineas, not like this. It just...it was devastating for him.]

[yabigfurball]

[After waiting a little bit, she nudges the door with her nose and steps inside. She doesn't need to ask what the matter is...it's clear just from everything here now.]

[Ammy hops up onto the bed next to Perry, and curls herself up next to him.]

[action!]

[ttlynotanagent]

[Door's unlocked, it's probably even been left ajar by cambot and other visitors.

He seriously hadn't been this upset since Doof had dropped him as a nemesis or when Phineas had asked him to leave. This was certainly one of the worst days ever.

He just stays on the bed though, curled up and missing his best friend and owner]

[ttlynotanagent]

[He looked everywhere Angel! It's like when Shepard left! Only, no offense, this is worse because Phineas has always, always, ALWAYS been there since he was adopted.

Ugh, he hates feeling this way, but he just can't help it. It's the one thing that's his weakness: Phineas and his family.]

[yabigfurball]

[She understands how he feels...and since it's his family, it would be worse. How would she feel if Chibi left now? Even if Phineas is back home now, that doesn't change the fact that they're separated.]

[She nuzzles Perry to let him know that it's all right for him to feel this way...that she's sad with him.]

[ALL THE ACTION]

[halfdarkened]

[After giving a nod, Riku moves to close the door. He pauses, then sits down gently on the bed. After a slight sigh, he reaches over and scratches his head.]

He's probably back home now. ...He'll be there waiting for you.

[It didn't help in the meantime. But they were the best words Riku could offer.]
