Isekai T.I.M.E
Freya had been sitting at their desk, working on the next chapter of "putting the feral in Feralist", when an unknown window popped up on the screen. Great their computer had a virus, just another way the world wanted to screw her and her system over, she figured it couldn't hurt to at least check to see if it was funny
"do you want to bring your creation to life like Never before?, experience in it the best way possible? Click yes or no". The small text box read. There was an option box just below the text.
This is how so many animes start these days?, you should click yes, it might be fun.
Freya wasn't so sure, the author or T.A as she liked to call them, fantasized a little too much for her taste.
What's the worst that can happen?
I don't know, maybe our computer blows up and then we're left with just our phone and a lot more boredom, Freya had thought back to T.A.
That's not how that works and you know it. Just click yes.
Freya sighed,If our computer catches fire, I'm putting you on clean up duty.
She clicked the yes button, and heard a disembodied voice outside her head say "good luck"
She was suddenly in a room 3ft off the ground and promptly face planted, on a carpted floor, "owww fudge nuggets that hurt!".
She heard a confused voice coming from behind her say "Language?" Almost as if they were asking a question.
Freya pushed herself up, and looked around then she saw it, a great big plant lady, "oh crispy cream crapes, their big!,".
nope, nope nope, that's an affini for sure, I'm guessing we're in our fanfic, we need to hide quick.
If thorn was freaking out, she definitely needed to hide, Freya definitely needed to hide. She saw a giant couch with a small space she could hide under and quickly rushed under there.
oh because hiding worked out oh so well for my source when she tried it.
That was because she tried to bite someone mixed with the paperwork she had on hand, Freya corrected.
Two people.
that's worse, you do realize that's worse right? Freya was panicking inside and out now.
If this was how their first meeting was going they were so getting domesticated
She then saw the affini crouch down and look at them with squinting eyes, Freya was thankful for that the affinis eyes weren't fully in view she knew that's how they got you.
What Freya didn't expect the affini to say/ask was "jane, jane is that you?, your supposed to be with your owner on some sort of rescue mission".
Fluffing peanut butter balls this was bad, they thought she was jane?, on a technical sense maybe they were, but not really and they looked nothing like jane, wrong eye and hair color, and then it hit her, they didn't describe really anything too deeply, aside from breast size, and whatever brought them here decided to make her look like her.
Let me front, I probably sound like my source and can get us out of this mess.
uh no, are you trying to get us domesticated right off the bat?, they think we're your source. Honesty might actually be the best policy here.
"I'm not jane, I'm freya uh she/her pronouns" she told the affini, which just got her a more puzzled look before it looked like the affini had an ah-ha moment, and asked " ok freya, petal, im branchella 9th bloom also she/her what is the last thing you remember before landing on my desk, I think you may have been part of something known as a T.I.M.E. a Temporal Interdimensional Misplacement Event"
Freya frowned, should she be honest about her meager meal?, lying got you domesticated. But so did not taking care of yourself, at least one was likely to get them to believe her even if it was frowned upon, and great she got stuck with a side character she never fully fleshed out. Then again how were they supposed to know this would happen.
"I was at my desk, writing fanfic and having some ramen and Dr.pepper for dinner"
Branchella frowned at them, but looked like they came to a conclusion "thats not a proper meal petal, and what year do you remember it being?"
"2025, I'm not who you think I am, I'm not a floret and I don't have an owner, I'm not even from this universe" she said in a panicked voice
Branchella reached a vine out, and freya was bracing herself for a slight sting that never came, instead she just felt a vine on her back. "Calm yourself petal, I believe you, these things have happened before. Your safe, we're not going to make you a floret just because you were scared and in a new place, though we will need to talk about your eating habits once you come out of there" branchella explained.
Freya took one step forward, and heard branchella say in a soft dominate voice "there's a good girl, just a little further" freyas face flushed bright pink.
don't take another step, we can't let our guard down around her, she may not want to now but she will eventually domesticate us if we let her get to close.
Freya then backed up, thorn had a point, she couldn't take any risk.
"Come on petal, we both know you can't stay under there all day, we need to get you some food in you and perhaps a bath, and then tomorrow a vet visit"
Freyas stomach gurgled at the thought of food, branchella was right, the ramen was definitely not enough.
Freya then saw branchella stand up, and put a bowl with a little digital screen on it filled with candy and other food, on the side it said freya, there was a bowl beside it the exact same but with water in it.
They can't be serious, freya thought. We're not even a floret and their already treating us like a pet. She then saw a gummy bear as big as her peaking over the side, freya waited till she thought branchella was not looking and quietly grabbed some of the water using her hand to scoop it into her mouth, and grabbed the gummy bear.
we shouldn't eat that, you know how they work. It's probably got xeno-drugs laced in it.
I dont care we have to eat something and if it does, its most likely will just be a light dose of class Es, which is like the least problematic one. And will help us calm down, either way we win.
Freya nawed on the bears ear, it definitely had class Es in it, she felt fuzzy and off balance but also really good.
Freya then saw branchella again holding what they could only guess was a holonet pad, they heard a click and there was bright flash.
"Gah what was that for?!" Freya asked.
"Sorry petal, forgot the flash was on, I just wanted to show hibiscus the cute little flower that appeared in my hab"
Freya felt her face flush pink again, oh they were so cooked.
branchella is right, we are going to have to come out sometime, the xeno-drugs made us really tired and I really don't feel like sleeping on the floor.
Freya then slowly and unsteadily came out from under the couch only to be scooped up by branchellas vine. "There you are petal, it took you long enough, I can see your really sleepy so it will be a very quick bath and supper, and it's off to bed with you, then tomorrow we talk about what being in the compact is going to be like for you".
