Koga

There stood the shadowed silhouette of a man, a long coat of some sort wrapped around his body, and what appeared to be a katana at his hip, no more than a couple meters away from Koga. Just staring. Though his body was completely black, leaving individual features impossible to distinguish...those eyes...they glowed with a pure white light, far too large on the figure's face, and all too perfectly round. They could've been mistaken for glasses, or perhaps glass eyes, just maybe, were it not for the distinct sensation that they were following Koga's every movement. It didn't move. It didn

Nothing responded to Koga's call. Not a bark or howl or whine. Nothing. Not even an echo. Koga sighed and chewed on the inside of his cheek absently as he thought for a moment. He truly was well and alone in here. Wherever 'here' was. Which also begot the question of, what exactly was he supposed to do now? A sudden chill ran up Koga's spine. Like the tiny cold fingertips crawling up his back, making him freeze, then shiver, then freeze again as the hairs on his arms, the back of his neck stood on end. Then the sensation of someone watching him. Like eyes following him, a tingling in the

Koga's attention was turned entirely to his messenger HUD as he watched and waited from any response from NIGHT. Not that he had any guarantee that she would reply at any point in the near future, he just had some sixth sense telling him to be patient. Ding! And it seemed that his patience had paid off already. -- today -- you koga i have questions koga night wym night wyd did you and nari... koga you know what im asking right? koga please tell me you do koga i don't wanna get deck

"Oh, hey Jomei!" Koga greeted, pleasantly surprised by his friends arrival. "No worries, man, whatcha need help with?" Koga picked up and examined the pieces of various weapons one by one as Jomei produced them, examining them each carefully, before pointing towards Jomei's own weapon. "May I?" he'd ask before picking it up, if the man assented. If he did, Koga gave the weapon a few experimental swishes smiling as he set it back down. If not, the man would simply lean down and examine it closely. "Hmm, that's some pretty nice stuff. I think I got something in the back that should wor

Time lost all meaning for a moment. Or was it many moments? And during that vast expanse of time, the sensation of the water striking his back slowly faded away. From a relentless hammering, to a gentle pattering, until it was nothing at all. What did not fade, however, was the sound of the waterfall. It roared continuously, perhaps quieter over time, but it never left, filling his ears as some constant of the worlds. Not even when Koga slowly opened his eyes did the crash of the waterfall disappear. Koga found himself no longer sitting in the pool beneath the Waterfall of the Sage.

Koga couldn't do anything but stare incredulously at Nari, eyes narrowed with distrust, mouth slightly agape, sneering, in disbelief. But despite the, at best skeptical, look on his face, and Nari's attempts to not say too much, the way she cut herself off and flushed cherry red... NIGHT, this is why you need to communicate things to your friends more. "Alright, fine, let's go," Koga said, finding himself agreeing with Nari, if only for the moment, before turning towards Jomei and apologizing. "Sorry about all this, Jomei. Long time no see though, you're looking good." Well, technica

Soon enough, small stone canines began to join the ranks of the stone lanterns, sitting neatly between the lanterns. Around their necks, small scraps of red fabric, all worn and faded to varying degrees. What their purpose was, or what they symbolized, Koga couldn't even begin to guess. All he knew was that as the stone canines grew a hundred fold, his eyes fall upon the Sage's Fall. His ears filled with the calming sound of the burbling stream beneath the falling torii gate spilled over into the fall itself as it filled a small pool, crystal clear. So clear, in fact, he could see small replic

k o g a the elder wolf Floor 06, Waterfall of the Sage, 7:42am Inhale softly. Exhale slowly. Pausing along the long-forgotten path towards the Waterfall, Koga looked around at his surrounding. Listened to the them. The warm morning light pierced the thick canopy of countless trees, casting long shadows across the brush-covered ground. The morning birds had long since begun to sing sweet songs, filling the air with light chirps and chitters. Sounds of peace that not even Okami dared to interrupt. Inhale slowly. Exhale so

At the sight of NIGHT's nod of agreement, Koga turned his gaze back to what lay in front of them, humming out a quiet, "mm," the only sign of his acknowledgement as they walked along the path. For a moment, Koga had wondered if that today was going to be the day a years long friendship was going to end. He was more than glad to see it wasn't. He supposed, perhaps neither could afford to allow that to happen, for whatever reasons they had. Or hell, maybe they were both just too stubborn to let somethings go. Whatever the case, a sore jaw and a temporary orange cursor was all they'd ha

Light flickered, wavered, faded into a bright white and then coalesced back into a discernable shapes, colors. Mostly still white though, as the Teleporter delivered the players to their destination. It wasn't difficult to pick out Jomei against the brisk white backdrop of the floor, his green cloak and orange carrottop hair contrasting sharply. A small not was all Koga afforded the other man, not trusting himself to not allow his anger with Nari color the words he spoke towards Jomei. "Love her?" Koga practically scoffed. "You sure do have a funny way of showing it," he growled at h

"Hmm, morbid?" Koga repeated the word with a slightly confused look on his face. "Why do you say that?" It didn't seem all that morbid to him. Death was just a part of life, it was only morbid if they made it so. A crack of thunder split the air just before the gentle pattering of rain began. Fat drops struck the canvas above their heads, keeping them dry by some miracle of physical properties, repelling the water entirely instead of absorbing it until the fabric could no longer contain it all, and slowly dripped it upon those who had found shelter beneath it. "the person we're looki

By the time Koga had finished dispatching his group of fallen soldier, the last for the moment, NIGHT had already dispelled her weapon, standing there watching him with a strange look upon her face. One Koga didn't recognize on her. Anyone, if he was to be honest. The question drew out only a soft chuckle from Koga. "None that you can answer," he answered back with a poor attempt at a joke, too close to the truth to actually be humorous. Tsuki no Hikari was returned to it's saya as Koga started walking towards the settlement, a silent expectation that NIGHT would fall into pace besid

Koga's eyes narrowed slightly as he listened, once again, to what Nari had to say. At the mention of Oji, Koga wondered what the man had said to Nari. What he did and did not know. Next, though Koga could not hear it, a message must've arrived to Nari's inbox. His jaw tensed as looked at Nari with a marked displeasure, clicking his tongue quietly, as she opened up the message and appeared to send back a reply before continuing on with what she had to say. Couldn't even make it through another apology without answering a message? Regardless of how mad Koga was at Nari, whether she was apol

Whether she was being dismissive, didn't want to speak to Nari, or maybe just wanted to be left alone. Whatever the case was it appeared that despite what Nari had said, and whatever she had attempted thus far, it wasn't working as well as she thought. Not that Koga had expected anything else. He hadn't really expected anything else. Attempted murder, tended to hurt relationships after all. Perhaps more of them than Nari had initially imagined. Well, now it seemed she was suffering the consequences, as she appeared crestfallen, ignored by NIGHT entirely. Not acknowledged in the sligh

The two women were quick to stand, ready to leave. DAY went on ahead of them as NIGHT left beside some col to pay for her portion while Koga stood and quickly downed the remains of his coffee, only to cough in regret as soon as he was done. It hadn't exactly cooled enough to make that an enjoyable experience. Covering his mouth as he tried to avoid getting his (virtual) germs everywhere, the man also left some col behind before chasing after NIGHT and DAY. There mode of transport for this journey was...strange, to say the least. Something akin to a hot-air balloon, tied dragged by ropes.

Had the number of incoming mobs grown in the last few minutes? Regardless, the brief reprieve they'd had during their argument had ceased. Not that these mobs gave them much trouble to begin with. Even less so to NIGHT. Though the silence was filled with the cries of the endless mob, it was like a void. Anything that entered would leave as fragments. The mobs, for they were destroyed, everything that had occurred between them would be left behind, only pieces brought with them when they finally departed. The players themselves, would also leave something behind. Words, thoughts, emotions.

Koga slid his weapon back into the wood sheath as Astreya called out to the mysterious stranger who'd helped them. Cocking his head to the side, Koga's gaze followed the direction that Astreya was looking until his eyes settled upon the not too distant figure. A figure that was immediately recognizable. No one else in the world habitually wore tracksuits like she did. As if only to confirm what Koga already knew, Nari called out after the woman, "Hey! NIGHT!" Like an automatic response, Koga's face darkened, his left hand moving back towards the mouth of his saya just as soon as it had le

k o g a the elder wolf There was a quiet clattering in Koga's home as he put away the dishes and cooking utensils from the meal. Yukiro and Tala had already left to go do...whatever it was those two did these days. Koga sure as hell didn't know what that was. At this point, he was just happy to have had the opportunity to see them. For someone who had been so attached to her older brother, Akiara sure had been quick to forget about him in leu of one of his old friends. Eh, he couldn't complain. Not really. They were alive, well, and happy.

"granted, we could always take the walk over there, but that would take some time. unless you're thinking about taking our quest completion slow." "I'm not exactly keen on walking all the way there, so I vote we get a carriage." Koga decided as the sounds of NIGHT's utensils clattering against her platter drew his attention. The way she was shoveling her food in her mouth, Koga would have thought she'd never seen food before. The man squinted at her and quietly sipped his coffee as he watched a moment longer before looking away, only because it was socially unacceptable to stare at someon

"Don't be," Koga replied, voice emotionless as he cut down another loot-filled mob like it was a piñata. "That was a long time ago, and I've come to terms with it." Well, as much as one could come to terms with anyone they were close to meeting a sudden and untimely demise. Another mob exploded into fragments as Tsuki no Hikari cut through it, it's comrade likewise burning to death behind Koga. He'd named his weapon after them not long after he'd resolved to join the Front. Well, at least their real names. Some sentimental part of him wanting to keep them close as he fought in their stead

Praise the gods that the other two had a better memory than he did. Even if Koga had been at full wakefulness (or at least what passed for being fully awake for him) he doubted he would have remembered any of that. Koga said a quiet thank you to the server as she set down a cup of coffee in from of him. No honey though, shame. The man picked up the hot mug, still steaming, and gently blew across the top, as if it would actually help cool it to any degree, before taking a sip. Wasn't bad, but it tasted the same as every other NPC-brewed cup of coffee across Aincrad. "what good would a

Deciding he may as well rejoin NIGHT in farming, since that had been what they'd come out here to do in the first place, Koga drew his blade and stepped towards the next group of undead that approached them, quick to attack first as NIGHT asked her question. A rather simple one. "Same thing as everyone else," Koga replied flatly, dismissive. The man understood the significance of telling this part of his own story, the importance of sharing it with NIGHT, especially now. Still, he was hesitant. The only people he'd told were Noctua and his sister. They were the only ones who knew. It

Feeling more combative than usual in his morning exhaustion, Koga tried to find some flaw in DAY's logic as NIGHT grimaced beside her, anguish evident on her face. Finding no sound rebuttal Koga simply let out a quiet "Mm-", humming in acknowledgement. If you got the Col, might as well use it, he supposed. Though he still felt that that perhaps wasn't the wisest use of their money. Whatever floats their boat. "Well, probably got more sleep than you two," Koga answered as he opened his eyes and sat up somewhat proper in his chair, only to immediately ruin that by leaning forward with his e
