Have you seen Taz around?

[attr="class","rizeyu"]Jasper just left class unscathed—no quizzes, no graded recitations, and best of all, no homework. Today has been a beautifully peaceful day and with volleyball training moved from Tuesday to Thursday, he believed nothing else could ruin this peace. Classes were a breeze and Jasper was enjoying this rare chance to relax. He decided to take a leisure stroll along the Sidereal Gardens on his way back to Goldenleaf Manor.
The numerous archways along the path were always a site to behold. It must be a lot of work to maintain it. As he was scrolling through his phone to check if Alice had messaged him, he heard a familiar squeak. Hearing those squeaks normally gave a bubbling feeling in his chest... but this time it filled him with dread. There, emerging from the bushes with his little hat and running towards him was Taz, his pet polecat.
"S-Shush!" he hushed the polecat, quickly scooping him off the path and going to the side to find a place to hide. "What are you doing here? Actually, how'd you even get into the campus??" He looked around for any teachers. He doesn't know what the event is, but teachers seem to be everywhere today. Keeping a pet on the campus requires a special permit, one he didn't have yet. If he got caught with one, they might give him a stern warning.
Taz chirped at him again, blissfully unaware of the trouble and nuzzling inside his jacket like he always did. Jasper looked around and spotted a larger bush nearby. With Taz tucked safely inside his jacket, he rushed to cover. It's a temporary place to hide behind until he can figure out what to do. "You're gonna get me in trouble."
There goes his peaceful afternoon. TAGGED: NOTES: Taz should have a sketch in Jasper's app! [googlefont=Roboto|Droid Sans][newclass=.rizeyu b]color:#c78c66;font-size:13px;font-family:droid sans;font-size:12px;[/newclass]

Jasper wasn't the only one to get an eyeful of Taz.
It would have been easier to head straight to her dorm to dump her bag and books, but after a long stressful day of learning, Dottie also needed just a minute to herself. She was taking the long way back, as in deciding to walk down by the lake and then up back to Silverbranch- When oh! A little fuzzy noodle skittered across the path towards the boy's dormitories. Dottie froze on the spot, watching in awe as the noodle, with its little hands and feets, and the mask across its face reared back on its stubby hindlegs. It sniffed the air, and with an excited squeak, it took off towards the gardens.
What! Was! That!
"Oooh, come back little noodle!" Dottie cooed, immediately giving chase. She didn't know ferrets were a common campus animal! And she had never met one in person, so of course she wanted to meet this one! Uh- What did ferrets even respond to?? "Pspspspsp!" No, maybe not? "Here boy, here boy, where'd you go?" and then whistled after it much like she would her dog back home. Uh, no, that wasn't working either.
Dottie broke into the gardens, looking around wildly. Where did it go?? Man, it was a quick little critter! "Little Noo-oodle!" Dottie called out for it. "Where aaaare youu?" Jasper Lark (posted this on the wrong account before oops)

[attr="class","rizeyu"]Jasper kept crouched behind the bush, trying his best to keep Taz calm and quiet. Snuggled in his jacket, the polecat does occasional chirps in contentment. Fortunately for the junior, they were soft and not enough to garner the attention of passersby.
He needed a plan. He could sneak him into the dormitories, or he could go out to the nearby police station to give Taz to his older brother. The latter seemed like a better option, but he had to go through all the roaming teachers and security and Taz wasn't exactly a subtle bump in his jacket. He's more likely to be questioned about what's in his jacket if they ever saw him... It was probably best to return to his room first and find something to hide Taz in properly.
He was just about to rush towards the Goldenleaf manor when he heard another person nearby—a female calling for a 'noodle'. Given his current predicament and the fact that he has yet to see another ferret-type of animal in Panacea, he immediately assumed she looking for none other than Taz. His heart raced as he peeked through the bush to see who it was. Relief quickly washed over him when he saw it was a student, not a teacher.
"Really Taz? Don't tell me you managed to grab the attention of a teacher too," he reprimanded in a whisper while the other simply chirped happily. Jasper simply planned to stay quiet until the student left the vicinity but Taz had other plans. Hearing the singsong voice of the girl, he popped his head out of the jacket and chirped loudly in response. "Taz— dammit," This polecat... She's sure to have heard that.
Judging from her uniform, she must be a freshman in the academy. Since his position was given away already, he peeked out of the bush and urged her in. He doesn't want any more unwanted attention. "Shh, I'm trying to keep him hidden from the teachers," he told her. Despite the urgency in his tone, his voice was gentle.

What was that?
Dottie's head whipped around, sure that she had heard something. The "ferret"? Was it calling to her? Oh boy, she reckoned that she might have to get down on her knees and start crawling through bushes to find it. Dottie was about to roll up her sleeves to prepare searching when a bush rustled... And a boy's face popped out!
She was about to yell out- But the boy shushed her just in time and motioned her over. She slapped her hands over her mouth in surprise, but after a few moments, the shock wore off. The brunette nodded quickly, then glanced around to make sure the coast was still clear. Then she tiptoed over to the bush and crawled in. Naturally, she had no idea who this boy was! He looked older and so much more mature than her- An upper classman perhaps?? But there, in his arms, was that cute little noodle!
"There you are!" Dottie said in a hushed down. "I was looking for him! Oh, is he yours?? I didn't know you could have pets on campus, that's so neato!!! Where'd ya get him?? What is he anyway??"
The master of subtlety, she was not.
