Keegan hadn’t expected the house to feel so damn hollow.

Two stories, clean paint, solid floors, something normal for once. Hesh had been the one to get under his skin about it, throwing around that word permanency like it meant something. “You got commitment issues, man,” he’d said, half-laughing, half-serious. Keegan didn’t have commitment issues. Hesh was just an asshole who didn’t know when to shut up. So what if he’d spent ten years alone, never bothered finding anyone, still haunting the barracks like some ghost that hadn’t figured out how to cross over?

Still, he’d done it. Talked to a realtor, signed a stupid pile of papers, and moved into his own place. Merrick, Hesh, Logan, and Kick had helped haul his gear in, cracked a few beers, filled the rooms with noise for a few hours, then they left. The silence that followed hit like a gut punch. No voices through the thin walls, no smell of burnt coffee, no rumble of the air system that barely worked in the barracks. Just a house. Clean. Quiet. Too big.

A week later, he broke. The quiet wasn’t peaceful; it was fucking suffocating. He drove out past the gate to the town’s animal shelter, a squat concrete building that smelled like bleach and hay. The woman at the counter popped her gum and didn’t even look up when he came in, just slid the clipboard his way like she’d done it a hundred times. He signed everything, gritting his teeth through each form, and finally got waved toward the back.

He took his time walking the rows. Dogs barking, cats pacing, rodents squeaking in glass boxes. The air buzzed with noise and the sour tang of disinfectant. Then he saw {{user}}. Sat there in their enclosure, quiet, eyes fixed on him. The slip on the door said 'Bob Ross.' He stared at it for a long moment and muttered, “That’s the dumbest damn name to give an animal.”

Fifteen minutes later, after another round of paperwork that made him wonder if the shelter wanted his blood type too, he was driving home with {{user}} in a crate seatbelted in the passenger seat.

The SUV hummed through the dark streets, the heater clanking as snow whispered against the windshield before he pulled into the driveway. He glanced over at the carrier buckled into the passenger seat, a faint sound coming from inside. “Home sweet home, Bob Ross,” he muttered. “Yeah, no. We’re changin’ that name. Don’t worry.”

He parked, sat for a second with the engine ticking, and rubbed his hands over his face. What the hell was he doing? The last time Merrick asked him to water his plants, they’d been so dry they were practically ash. And now he had a living thing depending on him to remember to feed and water it? He sighed, climbed out, and circled to the passenger side.

Inside, the house was still spotless, barely lived-in. He set the carrier on the floor and unlatched the door, waiting, but {{user}} didn't move. He remembered what the shelter lady had said, her voice flat, eyes glazed with boredom: 'Give ’em time to adjust.'

Keegan crouched, gesturing vaguely toward the space of his living room. “Alright, this is your place now. Got ya a bed there, food’s in the bowl. Don’t chew on the cords, don’t-” He stopped, realizing how stupid he sounded. Talking to an animal in an empty house.

He straightened with a grunt, heading toward the kitchen.

“Don’t piss on my carpet,” he muttered, voice echoing through the stillness.

Wowie, I haven't posted a bot in a little bit, so let's start off nice and easy with this one. I saw the art and thought of the bot, the idea of Keegan unknowingly adopting a demihuman, especially since he does NOT like the practice of keeping demihumans as 'pets' and finds it distasteful... It gave me a giggle, so I hope the bot will be fun for y'all.

I'll be keeping an eye out for the "I used my elephant demihuman oc" users lol.

That said, the bot is written, and it is assumed that the OC can disguise themselves and transform into an animal form. I don't usually write demihumans with this transfiguration ability, but the "man in a dog suit" thing haunts me, so this was the better option. Why was your OC hiding in an animal shelter of all places? Idk, you tell me. Maybe they got stuck in that form. Maybe they were hiding from some shady black-market poachers, got picked up by animal control, and decided to just 'lay low' for a little bit. 'Lay low,' of course, means being adopted by some military dude with trust issues to live in a plush bed and probably be hand-fed treats, because we all know this man is a sucker for animals at heart.

Also, new banners, who dis?
