Utopia Talk / General Talk / Peek Garbage meets Perry Otter

CC likes some raccoon peak garbage stories, and I felt like it would fit in with my complete mocking of JK Rowling's series, so I concocted this excerpt:

--------------
"Ahhh!"
Perry turned to look at the noise. A small family of raccoons were floating across the water on a piece of metal. He exchanged looks with Don and Hummingbird, and they decided to check it out. Perry dove into the water and allowed Don to ride on his back.
"Hi," chirped Hummingbird. The raccoons looked startled.
"What? Is, is that a weasel riding am otter like a jet ski?" one of the raccoons asked.
"I'm Perry."
"And I'm Don." The raccoons looked like they were about to cause trouble. The strange masks they wore hid their identities.
"Why are you wearing those masks," asked Hummingbird.
"Masks," the largest raccoon replied, thoroughly confused. "Oh, you mean my face!" He finally understood what the magical kids meant. "This isn't a mask. Have you ever seen a raccoon before?"
Perry arched his neck to look at Don. Neither of them had ever seen a raccoon before, there were none at Bogworts. "Nope," they both replied in chorus.
"What were you screaming about?" Perry asked.
"Ahhh!" the raccoons yelled again. "It's," the little one began to speak, but was cut off by a harsh glare.
The oldest raccoon crawled to the forefront. "An ancient prophecy is coming to pass."
"Ooooh," Perry, Don and Hummingbird all said together. They all loved a good prophecy.
"In the time of plenty shall occur the Garbocalypse," the old raccoon stated, with an eerie, ghost-like sound to his voice.
Perry didn't seem to understand the dire situation. "What's the Garbocalypse?" he blurted.
The rest of the raccoons gasped, but the old raccoon kept sharing. "Peak garbage," he stated.
The Bogworts students all looked at him; they expected more detail.
"See, garbage accumulation is at an all time high," the raccoon continued. "Humans keep making more and more of a mess."
"Eww, humans," interrupted Hummingbird.
"Yes, humans," the old raccoon confirmed. "They make garbage, and we raccoons love garbage. In fact, our boat is a car door from the scrapyard."
Perry looked to his friends for understanding. He thought that they might be more knowledgeable of the outside world. After all, he still considered himself a simple otter from the stream. He never dealt with magic or humans before his time at Bogworts. But neither of his friends seemed to understand the raccoon either.
"But an ancient raccoon prophecy states that one day, the garbage capacity of the humans will reach its peak, and then the raccoon economy will crash as garbage becomes more and more scarce." The old raccoon had begun waving his furry paws to instill terror and wonder. While the raccoon family behind him were panting in anticipation, the students still didn't understand.
"Can't you just make your own garbage?" asked Don.
"Make our own garbage?" one of the raccoons chortled.
Another called out as well. "What are we, magicians?"
"I'm," Perry started. But a swift stomp from Don cut him off. It seemed that he shouldn't tell these raccoons about his magic powers, or his destiny to remove the blight that Toad MoldyWart held over the bog.

I apologize for crappy formatting of paragraphs, but this is all from my phone.

Of course, I am working on the assumption that you (cc) don't mind me borrowing the general concept of the "Garbocalypse" for this work.

For those of you wondering what the actual fuck Perry Otter is, it's a parody of Harry Potter I've thought up. Complete with ripoff names, mocking dialog, and accentuating the stupidity or otherwise absurd characteristics of several Harry Potter characters.

I'll probably need to add or modify this a little. Potentially make the Hermione character (hummingbird) pretend to know exactly what the Garbocalypse is, etc etc.

Mocking Harry Potter sits well with me >:D

"Of course, I am working on the assumption that you (cc) don't mind me borrowing the general concept of the "Garbocalypse" for this work."

Sure thing! :D It was meant as a UGT shared project so any additions or changes would be fun and expected. Nothing is canon or anything :)
I've also continued doing outlines for a wider raccoon universe, but it's getting to that absurd phase where I may be over-planning it or am combining too many stories into one.. was thinking of taking a break with the Emu Wars — just need to do some software research before making the project thread :D

I was amused by the idea of the layered absurdity within this. Pretty much every part of the scene is absurd from either the otter perspective, the raccoon perspective, or the reader perspective.

It's basically an ogre (layered).

Oh neat, wasn't sure if it was intentional in that line, "The strange masks they wore hid their identities" — because the narrator has the same misunderstanding that the Hummingbird has :)

They actually cast Hermione as a black lady in the new movie.

*had to look up "Hermione" to even understand that*
*clearly doesn't follow the Pokémon series*

Pillz, after googling, it seems that the blackcast is for a stage play? If so, definitely don't give a shit.

CC: then how will you enjoy my mocking!?

I saw the first movie in the theater before I decided that the show had missed by demographic by a few years, so I'm at least a little familiar :p
