[MxF] Hoppers Plot - Have you ever wanted to understand animals? What better way than to essentially BE one?

Quick little note here, human and animal role are open, you can be either! This is the same idea as Disney's movie, different world. I don't do canon characters/plot, but concepts? Yes!

That was the moment that everything was going to change - as the machine took hold and the inside of that headpiece began to whir, suddenly your life illuminated as if electricity had taken hold, and shot you down a narrow tunnel that twisted and turned. In the blink of an eye, everything you knew about consciousness was tested as yours was transferred to...

...That dummy beaver. You didn't understand quite how it worked, but you were intent to roll with it. And now, as your eyes opened slowly, you came to your sense of surroundings - the VERY large surroundings that, well, surrounded you. There YOU were, sitting in the machine, and now here you were, in a tiny body, senses all working like it had always BEEN your body.

Whether this was your scientific find, you intended to use it to get away from your own life and your own troubles, or whatever your intent, you now sat in the body of a beaver, as if you'd always been one. What waited in store for you in the wild?

This is a small blurb, but it's because I'm really open to the idea of hoppers as a roleplay! It could follow a similar story to the movie, or be something totally original! I just like the idea of building a repertoire with animals, while hiding the truth that you're an imposter. I love the drama that could unfold - what kind of relationship will you build with animals? What if they find out the atrocities that humans are behind? What if the hopper isn't JUST a robot, but a puppeteered beaver? What if the hopper fell for the animal? Anything's on the table!
