Koga

More valid points were brought up, with even some of the new players chipping in. Bahr, quite accurately, pointed out that undead were not seen on the 28th floor. But bringing up mutated animals: "So mobs are still a possibility?" the swordsman chimed in at an appropriate pause. The unknowns would remain unknown, such as it was. Answers never came until they were in the thick of it, and it was too late. The flap to their makeshift room fluttered slightly, drawing Koga's eyes. And in walked none other than Alkor. Koga's eyes went wide in surprise. When was the last time he'd seen the blond

With Star and Pinball, the three players unleashed the opening salvo against the dragon, chunking the flying lizard's HP bar for almost a quarter of its health. Wulfrin, NIGHT and Freyd were close behind with the follow-up, reducing her HP almost into the yellow. All in all, a good start. And with the dragon only just recovering from Pin's stunning blow, she was going to go come crashing to the ground before she even had a chance to act. Tsuki no Hikari returned to it's sheath for just a moment, as shadow and smoke gathered around Koga before he all but disappeared, rushing forward a

"We'll definitely have to catch up sometime, after the meeting," Koga said to Astralin with a smile. She'd always been a bit of a strange one in his eyes. Excitable, curious mannerisms, but a good person nonetheless. But for now, they had more pressing matters to tend to...and the fact that Astralin's attention shifted to a woman Koga hadn't noticed slip in whom he did not recognize. As Arabelle and Morningstar...interacted...Koga couldn't help but quirk a brow in curiosity. Even if she was attempting to suppress it there was a certain amount of admiration for Morningstar that leaked out

"Oh, its Cherry Blossom distilled in oil and dried," Kasumi said as Koga turned back to the aromatic mixture and took another whiff, this time out of curiosity. "It ups the scent. Should...Soften...." She sneezed. "Bless you." "Soften the senses, at least until your healing kicks in. Sorry." Koga turned as Kasumi finished rubbing her nose, and, for some reason apologized. She'd done that before, when he'd taken care of her while she was sick at her home too, he remembered as he leaned back against the counter again. "I dunno what I'm doing." His head quirked to the side again, and Ka

Damn that smile. Sometimes, somethings were just a little too bright and you had to look away. And so Koga looked away again, his eyes finding the floor as he smiled sheepishly. "Thanks," he said, secretly hoping he sounded a little more confident than he actually felt. A sudden flurry of movement had Kasumi up and prowling around the kitchen again, pulling out a copper pot and pan from one cupboard, worn with use. A quirked brow and tilted head followed her around as Koga watched with a hint of confusion up until the girl rummaged through her bags to pull out a few vials. While it w

More and more people. Most of whom, Koga realized, he actually knew, even if it was only in passing. Hirru, to name one for certain. Koga had not seen the man since the climatic end of the raid against Gabrandr, but stressful situations forged a sense of kinship, and the swordsman made a mental note to go and talk to him later. There were more than a few people to speak to now anyways (when did Koga get so popular?) "Can't blame you," the man said to Arabelle, as she'd introduced herself as. "It's unusual for a raid meeting for sure, but," Koga pointed towards Wulfrin with his t

"Are you ok?" The small voice heralded the appearance oh Kasumi hanging her head over Koga's, a hand tightly gripping the shirt she wore in the front in a near-futile effort to retain her modesty. "I'm fine," Koga reassured the girl with a half-hearted smile, letting his hand fall away from his face to reveal the already swelled shut eye. Fine was subjective in this case. As Kasumi stood, moving towards the kitchen, Koga sat up from his prone position, propping himself up on an arm as his eyes followed the girl to- Well, whatever modesty Kasumi was trying to retain by holding th

Little by little, more people began to join the group of Frontliners, other raid participants no doubt, given NIGHT's appearance. And that was Yuki beside her. Er, other Yuki. Pink Yuki. Koga had never formally met her before, but maybe this time.The man nodded to both of them in silent greeting. The clip clop of sandals were the next thing to draw Koga's attention, as a pretty blonde lady approached the growing group and congratulated the groom before introducing herself to them. "Koga," the swordsman said with a faint smile and a nod. "Good to see you again, Kat," likewise recognizing h

NIGHT jumped, and shot him a glare. The man suppressed a chuckle in return. He didn't feel like getting stabbed. Yet. Who knew what their prey had planned for them. Hopefully Morningstar did, considering he was calling the pair over. Koga waved back and made a little bit of effort to quicken his pace over to the others. Before Koga even had a chance to comment on the 'time-crunch' though, Freyd beat him to the punch. No matter, Koga was aiming to get all this over with before dinner time. Maybe even elevensies, if they were fast enough. Skele-bois, spiders, the tower. If Koga had kno

k o g a the elder wolf Looking around, Koga was glad that he wasn't the only one who'd dressed down a little for the wedding. That wasn't to say he'd gone full sandals, shorts and no shirt, but he'd instead opted for some light blue pants, made of a rather light material, and a beige linen shirt. Very beachy, even with the more formal shoes he wore. As Masato, Koga had lived in enough places to know that he did not want to wear a full suit on the beach. Forget ruining the outfit, the humidity would kill him. All in all, it had been

There's that kind of joy one feels, when seeing someone they care about smile. The pure, innocent kind. Kasumi embodied it, fully. Putting aside the melodrama, that smile truly made that dark space in the back of Koga's mind just a little brighter every time he saw it. Even in just some regular clothes, work clothes even, the boy could hardly take his eyes off the girl as he followed her into the back of the shop and leaned against one of the tables to watch her work, careful not to disturb anything. She had accepted the job in an instant, without any fuss or questions. Simple and straigh

Oh, how Koga felt the urge to make a friendly jab at NIGHT for missing her attack, especially when she had just done the same exact thing only moments earlier. Sweet, sweet vengeance could have been his. Sadly for the swordsman, he was currently dealing with the fact that Lilith was trying to swipe at him with her long finger-claws, and man did that look like a back time. Falling back, and lifting his sword into a high guard, Koga barely heard NIGHT's dual apology and quip. "Alright, alright!" the man grumbled, "I take it back, now could you hit this thing, please! Bitch is creepin' me ou

So, no obvious boss-level threats to worry about in Zero. That didn't sound so bad in that case. Koga made a mental note to attempt a visit to Zero himself one day. If he ever got through the myriad other quests he still needed to finish. Like the Dragon Hunting questline. One day he'd finish that one. Poor NIGHT, getting dragged around to slay overgrown lizards. Well, she was the one who always said yes. It's her fault, really. "I dunno about you, but the there is no amount of slime-killing that would make it all worthwhile to me," Koga countered, almost groaning. "In fact, the more

Koga knocked on the door of Kasumi's shop, as he often did these days. He probably spent just as much time here, on Floor 2, now as he did in his own home on 11. What that exactly implied hadn't been discussed. Wasn't. Frankly, it just didn't matter. Rushing ahead had too often left Koga hurt afterwards anyways. And they were both content, he thought. In any case, Koga hadn't come today for just one of his regular social visits. This time, it was raid-prep business, a fact he made known not long after Kasumi welcomed him inside. "Hey," he said, with his usual warm smile. "Got some bu
