Actor AU Part 2: Electric Bugaloo

Beetlejuice gets very caught up in his characters. He once heard someone swear on set and immediately covered Lydia’s ears. She then stared him right in the eye and repeated it. Once he got out of the character headspace he and Lydia had a good laugh.

Jacques had to call in sick one day. By lunchtime he received a picture of a plastic prop skeleton in his costume with Beetlejuice’s arm slung over the shoulder. It was sent with the message, ‘Luckily we found a stand-in. Get well soon!’

A couple months later Beetlejuice had to take a day off for personal reasons. Of course, he received a picture. It showed Ginger, Jacques, and Lydia standing around a mossy rock and laughing. The message, 'Shame we can’t hire the temp full-time. These puns rock!’, accompanied the picture.

Shortly after another one of Jacques kissing the rock was sent to him, 'Don’t worry. I won’t take you for granite.’

The show has a ton of outtakes of the Deetzes meeting Lydia’s Neitherworld friends. A fan favorite is Delia and Ginger talking about their artistic endeavors.

Speaking of fans, some will bring pictures of the tv show or gross stuff (mostly trash) to get signed by Beetlejuice. He and the rest of the cast think it’s great. Charles got a picture of the mossy rock signed, which was later framed in the break room.

A fan once brought Lydia a picture of a graveyard at twilight to sign. She was immediately taken by the composition and colors. Aspiring photographers will bring her pictures to review. Lydia feels a little weird critiquing the work of her fans, but loves to see the creativity.

The Monster From Across The Street is a diehard fan of the Looney Tunes. He has been called the sentient escaped beard of Yosemite Sam. Whenever he gets into a long string of expletives there is always someone outside the shot mouthing, “Please just say fuck.”

Poopsie is just a puppet. But the Monster does have a small dog that looks like a maltese named Tex (short for Texas Tasmanian Terror). The dog is actually an old sweetheart.Someone will ask how his day is and then be bombarded with pictures of his dog. His personal favorite is of Tex in a cowboy hat. It’s the Monster’s phone background.

I don’t have much idea wise but imagine Daxter playing with Jak’s hair. If Jak’s overwhelmed or something Dax might also do it to ground him

Sometimes he washes Jak’s hair for him when Jak’s having bad days

Imagine Daxter learning different styles and testing them on Jak probably cause he can’t test them on himself

He braids Jak’s hair, puts it up and does all sorts of fancy styles and Jak likes it. It’s useful and out of the way plus it looks nice

Imagine Daxter being turned back human via light eco and Jak repaying the favour and trying to style Daxter’s fiery locks. It’s not great but Daxter loves it anyway

A lil thing for this cute idea.

It’s not that anyone blames the rat for wanting some kind of peace and normal in his life but the fact of the matter is Jak’s off. The kid’s been toting his friend around for years now and he’s grown to compensate for the weight on his shoulder. Everything from how he walked to his aim relied on Daxter being on his left, balancing him off. 

Now that the rat’s gone, mostly for good, the kid’s way off. Sure he can walk fine, drive just as crazy, but his aim suffers and there’s still the issue of him always looking over to his shoulder. Apparently they’re always be some part of him that needs to protect something which Torn doesn’t really get but can respect. 

So, he’d gone to Brutter and they’d found the next best thing to another Ottsel, which would’ve been hard as shit seeing as they were actually god. Brutter still had quite a few connections in the illegal pet market so finding a lightning squirrel was fairly easy. Even then, none of them had been prepared for the kid’s reaction to the thing. 

“You got me a pet? Why?” the blond had asked though that hadn’t stopped him from holding out his hands for the creature. Said creature had gladly leaped from Torn’s arms into her new owner’s, chattering away happily as the kid had stroked her large ears. 

“She’s to make up for Daxter, you can carry her around on your shoulder and maybe not miss by a mile next time you go out shooting,” he’d suggested sarcastically though maybe not so much as the squirrel was already on the kid’s shoulder. 

“She’s great, thanks Torn,” he’d answered before running off Precursors’ knew where with the thing. Run off to the bizarre if the tiny gloves were any clue. 

“Now you just need some goggles and we’ll be in business,” the blond explained, carefully tightening the straps on the lightning squirrel’s paws. Torn watched incredulously as the thing chattered back as though she understood completely before leaping gracefully onto the kid’s shoulder. The ex-guard would say the kid had completely lost his marbles in getting gear for his pet but he’d heard Daxter talk about the usefulness of proper gear more than enough times to not bother. 

“Maybe Jinx’ll know, we’ll check him next, okay Yasmine?” the kid murmured, scratching the newly christened Yasmine under the chin. Torn watched for a few more minutes before leaving the pair alone, they were kinda cute; a lightning squirrel and her boy. Ashelin was gonna pee her pants over this one. 

So i kinda guess Yasmine as a lightning squirrel? A relative of the lightning mole because she didn’t resemble the muse so much except in colouring but isn’t a kangarat.

I really like the whole idea of Jak having a pet if Daxter ever decides to leave/settle down. So yeah I like Fap’s idea of Yasmine the lightning squirrel so I tried to do something cute with Daxter and Yaz..Hopefully it’s not shit as I did start this at one in the morning yesterday and finished it today.

So I had the idea Dax pretends he’s jealous/dislikes her when actually he likes Jak’s pet a lot. He also in my mind jokingly takes the piss out of Jak about her.

* * *

“Are yer seriously gonna give that damn rat goggles?” Daxter huffed as the lightning squirrel butted her head against his tail trying to get his attention.

“Why not? I don’t see the problem with it” Jak replied as Yasmine seemed to continue trying to gain Daxter’s attention making the golden green haired male smile a little.

“Jak she’s a rat. Yer gonna get funny looks aimed at ya if you do that. Like seriously they’ll think yer nuts” Daxter ranted whilst doing exaggerated movements in the process.

“I got them when you was on my shoulder Dax..I don’t care. I’m gonna go get her stuff..Can you watch her please?”

“She’ll chew up the rug..Or eat the curtains. Yer rat’s kinda chunky..Ya should stop givin’ her snacks if you wanna keep taking her places..Seriously I can’t believe you replaced me with a freakin’ rat” Daxter mumbled faking a pout.

Jak smirked seeing past it as he knelt down, pulling the furry ottsel into a hug in the process.

“You’re not getting out of looking after her Dax..Besides I think she likes you” Jak muttered pulling away as Yasmine chattered ,nuzzling into Daxter as she did.

“She probably wants to eat me. Like everything else”

Jak rolled his eyes before giving the lightning squirrel a quick pet as he got up and headed out.

* * *

Daxter peeked out of the room muttering a “Is he gone?” before looking at the lightning squirrel in a gleeful way.

“Come ‘ere ya big lug!” he called patting his furry knees as he did causing the female lightning squirrel to dash over, knocking him down in the process.

She sniffed and nibbled playfully at the ottsel causing him to laugh and squirm as his little arms to reach for her stomach and tickle.

A squeak of delight came from her before she seemed to nuzzle him more making the ottsel purr a little.

“Hey..Er can yer get off now? I’ve kinda got somethin’ fer ya rat face” Daxter muttered as she crawled off him before beginning to roll around on the carpet.

Daxter hurried off before returning with a few toys for Yasmine to knaw on earning the lighting squirrel’s attention as she scurried over beginning to knaw on a wooden toy in the process.

A happy chatter erupted from her as she continued to knaw the toy before beginning to move onto the others and play with Daxter during the middle of knawing.

* * *

“Hey Dax I found-” Jak paused as he walked into the room to find the ottsel curled up against the lightning squirrel both parties asleep and surrounded by wooden toys.

He headed closer, smiling at the scene before muttering almost quietly at the pair.

“You’re really bad at pretending to hate her you know..” he muttered gently stroking the lightning squirrel as she curled around Daxter.

YESSS I LOVE THIS
