As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Frontier Town Nina's Place

    "No one deserves to be judged for something they couldn't control," he said simply. "You're not the same person you used to be." And that was enough. Silver's next question made Koa avert his gaze, the pit in his stomach deepening. It was weird how much Silver felt like a kindred spirit, and...

    Frontier Town Nina's Place

    Archie's friendly grin and Odette's sharp tongue flashed through his mind. Silver was right, he couldn't let himself get defined by the things Cyrus had done and yet... Shaking himself inwardly, he pushed aside the thought. The way Silver spoke dredged up a familiar sensation in Koa, and his...

    Frontier Town Nina's Place

    Koa snorted in bitter amusement at Silver's quip. "Yeah, something like that, to put it mildly," he muttered. "Parents earned perfect grade in that." "Thanks," he said quietly, voice cracking slightly. Even if he had thought Silver would understand, hearing the affirmation still felt... Nice...

    Frontier Town Nina's Place

    Koa shook his head, old reflexes rearing. No one. Nothing. Not important. A thousand excuses at the tip of his tongue, but none of them he really wanted to say, at least not to Silver. Still, words caught in his throat as he struggled to decide what to say, how to explain. He'd spent his whole...

    Frontier Town Nina's Place

    Silver's question caught Koa off guard. He blinked, jarred from his thoughts. For a good few seconds, he just stared at the Sneasel. "I..." he closed his jaws and frowned. He stopped himself and considered it longer. "Both," he said quietly. His voice well lowered and he stared down at the...

    "You are better!" Koa said forcefully. He needed Silver to know that. Silver needed to know that. "You're not a failure, you're a great trainer and a great fighter. And you're here, that says a lot." His voice wavered with emotion and he realized he'd started to speak too loud, gotten carried...

    Frontier Town Nina's Place

    At Silver's comment about his past self, he snorted in wry amusement. "If I met my past self I think I'd sock him in the jaw," he said with a good humored chuckle. Though it no longer itched at him the way it had before, the thought of the person he'd been back at the start of his journey was a...

    Frontier Town Nina's Place

    Koa raised his glass to that. "Good riddance," he echoed, his voice edging into a snarl unconsciously. "To all of them. Especially Alex." Too bad Ein- He decided to leave that thought alone. He rolled his eyes. "It was starting to feel like I- We'd never be rid of them." Even cured of the...

    Frontier Town Nina's Place

    Koa chuckled at Silver's toast and clinked his glass, not bothering to suppress his grin. He hadn't realized just how badly he needed a real win. In response to Silver's question, his grin broadened evenmore and his eyes lit up. It felt surreal every time he thought about it. Flying up into the...

    Threadmarks: Ch08: Heavy Heritages [Koa & Silver]

    Not long after defeating Alexander... Koa was in an incredibly good mood. Celebratory, even. Alexander was gone for good, the world was a little brighter, and his body was aching slightly less, enough that he could walk around without wincing every few steps. So when he'd stumbled into Silver...

    "..." "Howling Precipice sucks and I hate everything." "Greetings! You must be the rest of my new packmates. My Alpha has told me a great deal about your noble deeds. I look forward to fighting alongside all of you." (Alpha?? That was embarassing. He'd have to talk to Anubis about that... He...

    Offscreen Activities

    The long trip to Eremus Fault at least gives Koa time to fill Anubis in on everything that happened. Regaling him with their past adventures and heroics is a welcome distraction from the rather unwelcome thoughts brought to the surface by the Howling Precipice dungeon. It's not important. A...

    Malantau Howling Precipice

    "Many thanks, noble Ninetales," Anubis said to the strange Ninetales as he dipped his head. "And yes, we ar-" A flying ball of blue fur interrupted him as Koa bounded up and practically tackled him. "Anubis!" he barked joyfully. Saints, he was so warm. And small. Seeing Anubis as a Houndour...

    Malantau Howling Precipice

    Panic fully took root in Koa's heart. The final straw on the back of one too many harrowing encounters in a short span of time. Vengeful ghostly hounds, a malicious wall painting, an angry dungeon and a furious saint and now some kind of flaming beast and fire. Raw fear overrode all conscious...

    Malantau Howling Precipice

    Why couldn't they have run into one of the nice Saints? Why did it have to be the violent horse that hated everyone? Koa watched, tensed, as she paced and rambled, trading uneasy glances with Archie. "We'll leave-" he started to say. No no no- He opened his mouth to say something, draw her...

    Malantau Howling Precipice

    Koa edged back a step, eyeing the icy hoofprints uneasily. The last thing he needed was to upset her further. Unfortunately he also felt like she was determined to be agitated. What had happened between the two saints? "Empty?" He couldn't help the question. Spectrier had been sullen and...

    Malantau Howling Precipice

    On some level, Anubis was aware this was a significant risk. Unwise, even. He was in a strange land, with the body of a pup, with only a single Buizel for an ally. But how many a time had he watched Alpha forge ahead into danger in pursuit? Had Alpha not chased that Thief so very long ago...

    Malantau Howling Precipice

    Glastrier, it really was Glastrier. The weight of the icy saint's gaze bore down on Koa with nearly the same intensity he felt from legendaries back home. He found himself tensing, readying himself for a fight he was sure they couldn't win. Not with so few. Maybe with the other Wayfarers. Its...

    Malantau Howling Precipice

    A dark shape melted out of the fog, another canine. For a half second, a paranoid corner of Koa's brain braced, expecting another attack from some ghostly dog. And then the shape took form. Dark fur and orange and metal bands. The Houndour Archie mentioned. Another step closer, and he jolted to...

    Malantau Howling Precipice

    Koa drew back, quickly composing himself. "It's good to see you," he said, brushing himself off. Listening to the two water-types go back forth, bantering like old friends, he found himself grinning. Several things clicked into place. The name Dustin had said. The mass summoning. It was the same...
