LONG SHOT ♡ intruder / joining

[arcy]

♡ Some people might've found it a little strange, just how easily Caboose had adjusted to his new form. But Caboose always had been flexible, and might not even have enough of an attention span to panic about it for too long. See, one day he'd just crash landed, and woke up as an animal! A dog!! Caboose liked dogs. He'd had one growing up, but it'd gone away. Nobody ever did tell Caboose quite what happened. Anyways, there was the initial panic, of course -- where was he? Where was Tucker? Church??? Anybody!! He'd gotten up to find them, and besides just a little bit of shock, Caboose just. Didn't really care. He had his helmet, and he had to find his teammates! Life without them was hard -- how was Caboose supposed to get by without Church telling him what to think?? It was very stressful on the poor canine, and for entirely different reasons than he should be.
Still, it'd been a few days since he'd crashlanded up. Caboose was still bruised and limping, but the Golden Retriever doesn't even notice. He'd already made lots of new friends! They told him to go away, but that was just normal! All friends did that! He still didn't have any idea where Church and Tucker could be, though. The thought of them not having come here either had occurred to him a few days ago, but after a brief panic involving a lot of yelling, he'd forgotten it and resumed yelling for them. Couldn't they hear him? Were they playing hide and seek? Caboose wasn't sure, and he couldn't help but worry. Well, worry by Caboose's standards, but worry nonetheless.
It should be unclear how Caboose found himself here, in all sort of senses. Like -- oh! He wasn't quite sure what'd happened leading up to this, and he didn't really care. And finding himself in this weird-smelling should be clear, but Caboose had just been wandering. He barely knew where he was half the time, and now was no different. He was already very far past the border by this point, it was really a wonder that he hadn't been caught yet. I mean, he'd walked through an entire forests, and it's not like Caboose's pelt was all that good for camouflage. And the helmet -- the helmet wasn't quite as obvious, but it was very jarring to see on him. Maybe because it didn't fit right. At all. It was still intended for humans, after all, and Caboose's snout was very long. He didn't even have an armor, just one lone helmet. If Caboose were a normal person, it'd just be so he'd actually be recognizable to his teammates. But Caboose wasn't normal, and the thought hadn't even occurred to him. He mostly wore it for familiarity's sake at this point -- Caboose had never really liked routine changes, and things were off kilter enough for him.
