about sums it up. Why can't I have happy bois
20.11.2017 glitchiest site ever... maybe I'll rewrite this... MAYBE NOT.... One sentence version, Ku is depressed but completely lying about it to everyone, He brought Saoirse back, is trying to be less overbearing with his eldest daughters, hasn't told anja about Saoirse being back because reasons. Did spend quality time with bree in the forest and got to meet some of her associations from Riki, or so he assumed they were, along with a young doe and see darling Jude again. Adults got some sneaky bourbon and everyone else got brownies.
28.10.2017 The lion has kept himself incredibly busy and productive since the death of his daughter. He has adjusted but continues to cope with grief in all the wrong ways. Has made a great deal of money at least in this time period and spent a great deal of time with the kids. Has shifted in personality and become withdrawn and cold in his own way. Losing sight of who he is and simply disappears in personas he takes on for work, or the fun dad he wants to be for his children. In general, masking the inner workings of his mind well as he plans things a grows more distant from all but his children.
18.08.2017 Sat alone for a bit and watch where Jerah and Steini sat. Saw Halla was over there and knew better than to approach. However, grew concerned when a skull faced male came over and began to start shiet. Pleased when it was over and he got time with Steini and Jude. Almost CRIED. Didn't though. Then shit with Saul started. Saul charged Steini with Nikhil in tow. Rose and took a protective stance over Jerah while Steini paced... And was charged by Saul again. This time, Ku took it upon himself to run the beast off. However... He was not entirely done with the brute and wanted to prove a point, mano y mano. Asked Naoki to watch kids before engaging the Komainu again. Calmed throughout the fight as he felt his point was made and excess aggression was laid to rest. Returned to the kids and Naoki, cleaned his booboos. After everyone fell asleep, wandered off, deciding maybe he should talk to the beast and maybe it prevent future incidents. Saul edged closer but once his cigarette was lit and he was about to chat, found they had an audience. Saul went to act big and bad and Ku had no energy for another fight and it was not his business at this point so trotted off. Then the tiger bro decided they wanted to add to it and someone in the distance spat at him him, the Shard actually spat at him. Was not impressed and began to form a different opinion about both brothers, though no less negative. Laid alone for a while, while Mjol stared at him, but at this point was beginning to again feel dead inside. Dante rolled up with some news with him, that he appreciated, but sent the Sanguine off quickly, as well as dunking in the idol and finding Phobos to discuss some things with him.
17.08.2017 - Karana got rlly jealous about ku and dante
- told her off, got ignored somewhat, got things tossed into his face
- took dante to his apartment, accidentally upset Rose he WAS SURE OF IT but needed an outlet for feels so srry.
- feels like he got in a fight after gettin nasty with Dante... feels good...?
- felt a thing with Rana, p sure SHE'S DEAD. Fuck. Went to Inferno, Dante in tow, unaware of their lil convo...
- Has taken to beating on Haakon when he wants to hurt someone and wallow in misery at how breathtakingly fucked his life is, or so he believes.
- Contemplating... Terrible things.
14.08.2017 Just came out of surgery today. After spending much needed time with his children, a small conversation with Halla then Fletcher, the latter going well enough, the former leaving a foul taste in his mouth, started to see more and more sense a previous offer and alteration to his head he had before refused. He went into surgery 12th and was released today. A device was installed that allows him to completely inhibit all emotions temporarily. Pleased when he tested it out that it does fully work and while aware of possible side effect, plans to be careful using it.
06.08.2017Um.. Bullets
- Had gone to Rana after expending a thing so that he travel throus space at will, also now aware of it's uses in other applications, such as combat, but its shortcomings as well. Had her in Rio, Brazil with him.
- Visited the forest a few times. GOt drunk. Another time, found Rana OD'd. NooooOOOo. Got her back and got her on an IV.
- Took her to Jason's lake house in Montana since it would be easier to monitor her behavior. Took all her things essentially as well, due his worry. And turned off her phone because the notifications were annoying him and he didn't want her being tracked to this house, knowing that Jason would be pissed/rip someone's arms off. Also in a foul mooood.
- Spoke to an individual at Jason's lake house who introduced himself as Genesis and divulged information that frightened him. Discussed his family, specifically Haakon, with Jasper. Jasper spoke of his want to find the Hurricane. Was partly extorted into delivering his half brother to the blacksmith.
- Visited the forest more
- Another visit, he ran into Haakon. He noticed his proximity to children, thus when he was attacked after a few sentences, he tried to lead his sibling away. He was incredibly vicious not unlike Haakon... Until others got involved. Tried to dissuade Fletcher and Rhea, however, they did not take the hint and eventually left the fight, angered further than before. Was attacked by Haakon again after he had distanced himself, but a slightly developed sense of personal honor, not borne from any emotion toward Haakon, held him in place. Observed his half brother through the entire forest and left for the pond to find him later. Had planned to approach, but Nikhil started a thing so just stayed at the pond since he had no desire to intervene. His discussion with Jasper returned to his mind and he realized what he would be sending his brother to, but with the massive threat Jasper presented looming over his head, decided he did not have much choice and held no doubt Haakon would sell him out for less. Thus, when his mangled sibling returned to the pond, jumped him, choked him out and carried his unconscious form into the birch. Nikhil approached to shout at him about things. Would have been irritated by what he perceived as self righteousness on a good day, enraged by it given his current mood. Held his tongue as he had no desire to let his emotions completely erase a prior apology. Haakon's body was taken by a dark mist in the middle of the "heated" conversation. Heard Jasper's voice and felt both relieved and guilty. Moved to lay with the baby herd and got love from all his lil wards. Incredibly relieved to see them unharmed. Watched distant interactions and believed the worst was over.
- Summoned by Jasper later, no longer sure about that. Met Sesi, unsure of her and left worried after their talk.
- Spent time with Rana at the lake, teaching her how to swim after some honest conversation.
25.07.2017 Saoirse died on Saturday, the 22nd. While healed up, he has shut himself off from most, including his own children, as they were barely aware of their little sister and he does not want them to feel the same way he does. Been making bad decisions.
15.07.2017 Over the last week, Kuwaka has been very active in the forest. He spends a good deal of time around a large group of children, core members being Jerah, L'ubomír, Jude, and Steini. Others appear, adults and other children, but these four have been most consistent. All was going fairly well until the 13th, when Lemon approached him when he, along with a few other adults, was staring down his sire, Walter. Right off the bat, he was hostile the moment she mentioned Walter as his father and was quick to harshly dismiss her words, however, he was reasonable enough to go along with her and have a conversation with Walter away from the children... And eavesdroppers. Of course, his starting attitude was aggressive, and by the end, he was left confused with long healed wounds freshly torn open. In general, it left him greatly shaken with far too much on his mind, bordering on an emotional breakdown.
The next day upon entering the forest, he found Rhona and talked to her a small talk regarding his father. He felt he could be honest with her about darker things, or at least did not fear a typical judgment from the Swan. Then Elliot was in the forest and he got to see his nephew and give the kid some nuzzles while being amused with his brother carrying a log in his mouth. Unfortunately, the nausea tied to the stress of yesterday was swift to return, and while Ku spent some time with children, he later noted his father and investigated. Discovered Walter was apologizing to Rhea which left him with some feeling, though the exchange, while not violent, did not go over terribly well. Ku bolted from his spot in the reeds and went over to his favorite druggie boy Rose directly after and confessed a very short version of why he was tense. Rhea stopped by and asked to talk later... And rose asked to listen in. The lion didn't mind since he was sure all of this would be common knowledge at some point and he planned on being honest. They spoke about his father and what might happen. Admitted that he was not remotely optimistic and was prepared for the worst which seemed to ease her a bit.
After some more conversation, he wandered with Rose, who he left with Daire, asking for alone time to process his emotions. Rose was a sinnamon and obliged. Dipped his head to Daire before going to have a cry in the blue bowl. He was alone for a bit until Sethyuna and Nhoz found him. He got some comfort though it was not terribly useful with a giant emo lion. Jude came over as well, but the lion was quick to slip off and stuff himself into a den in the birch near Grim. Grim eventually walked over while he was chain smoking and drinking to deal with his issues like a responsible adult. They spoke a while, the conversation proved a good distraction, brief as it was and decided that Grim is a cool guy he should chill with again some time. And maybe share something other than moonshine with. After fully imbibing, he was found by Xiu and a different and enlightening conversation sparked up. (In progress so never details) When he got home, he grabbed a bottle of whiskey and headed to bed.
Today, he awoke with a hangover and returned again to the forest. He found the children and Shardul. He laid there as the usual group gathered and while his head was pounding, he was content even if he was stressed. That was, until an albino doe (Ashley) found she would upset the the group. He initially just rose and assumed he could scare her off with a glare... Until she started snarling and snapping at the group. At which point, he broke off his cast, as the broken bones in his leg were healed enough to hold a small portion of his weight, and got down to business driving her away and making a bit of a aggressive point. Given all the build up of the last two days, this was a welcome release for his emotions. While not in fighting shape, he was still fairly vicious, and while he had no intent to kill her, he wanted to make his point. And he was pissed she was getting aggressive with kids. Eventually, after accumulating a large number of flesh wounds, he pinned her by the neck... SOUNDS FAMILIAR. Only was trying to get her to stop so the fight would end but ended up tossed off by Mjolnir when he was letting the albino doe go. Went at it with more violent intentions with the Warhammer, as she re-broke mostly healed ribs which really hurt, though given his fatigue that resulted from his current state, it was shorter lived than he would like it. Heated words were exchanged that ended with a passing threat to the children he cared for. He would he begun the fight again, but he was already pushing his luck with his leg, thus returned some words and left.
Checked in on the kids after rinsing off at the crying idol. Sat with Jerah, Nik, Shard, and the nameless fawn before a HUMAN came over and gave everyone except ku, somni, and surprisingly Jerah a spook. Did not even register that it was unusual at first due to the haze of pain and fatigue, pair with his returned migraine. Lemon was by and gave him medical attention. He did get pets, so that was a plus. Everyone left and then ku went to find Jerah again. Warned Shard about Mjol cause he doesn't want others getting caught in his shit. Nikhil left with Shard and the lil fawn in tow. Had a thought, but let it go due to his mental state and just focused on cuddling Jerah. He did stop home to go to the hospital. Got stitched and doped up... ANd yelled at. And new cast type thing for his arm that will allow him to use it. Returned to the forest for lovins.
06.07.2017 While his assignment for work, went well, all things considered, Kuwaka ended up in rather terrible shape regardless. Simply put, he is grateful to be alive. While waiting on the arrival of transportation, he was summoned accidentally by Karana. Once again, she got to see him in all his injured and vaguely militant glory. He ended up taking a shower to clean his wounds better, since dirt, sand, and sweat are not good for open wounds. Also, discussed some stuff with her, though he was a bit evasive still.
Today, he decided to visit the forest for a bit and limp around the forest. He wants to check up on friends and the children he has been keeping an eye out for. Later, he ended up sitting with Shardul and Nikhil. He got an apology to Nikhil and seemed to at least cross that issue off his list. Still isn't sure about the Incendiary, but Walter's presence in the forest recently has kept him nervous, thus he decided he should get on good terms with those that associate him with Walter.
27.06.2017 Over the past month, he has spending a good deal of time around his friends in the forest, taking care of his children, and working. As per usual, he allowed very little time for himself to decompress aside from his morning exercise, simply committing himself to others and his work. That showed in his tendency to smile when he found out two of his friends, Phobos and Maggot, had been attacked defending some children by none other than Nikhil. Inwardly, he was left fuming, though withheld himself enough so that he did not go after the Incendiary. Instead, he simply skulked around and clung to children.
About a week ago a week ago, he discovered a lone fawn (Jerah) and typical of himself, took immediately to the youth. He has been taking care of him and making daily visits on the child to ensure his welfare and to feed him. During his time, he discovered the pieces of Hammel's corpse and the scents of his possible murderers... Who he wants to thank. The pieces of Hammel stirred hysteric laughter in the Lion and may have low key freaked out Phobos. Regardless, seems to have often been hanging about the same crew of kids and watchful adults. Became increasingly aware how high his stress levels were climbing and that he was approaching a breaking point.
While packing for the upcoming work trip, which he simply refers to as government business, he though he would ask Karana out for dinner, as Farren, the naughty boy, had unwittingly informed the oblivious Kuwaka that Rana was pregnant. He thought it would give her opportunity to inform him, which he assumed she had wanted to before, but not in front of Elliot, who he had been spending time with him cause knows about Ku's career choice. Took her somewhere nice in Boston for a sit down dinner, spoke about a few things, though kept it light since he did not want to risk his emotions coming through.
Popped into the forest today to make his rounds before the trip, found his little buddy and Pho rather quickly. He asked Pho to keep an eye on Jerah and Rose joined him. Rather high himself this time, just sort of dragged everyone in for cuddles and fed Jerah. Then all the flipping kiddos appeared... Until they dispersed again.
24.05.2017 I can't be bothered to write real updates, but... Here
- Hlif died and now he has sole custody of his daughters, needs to figure out how and why she died
- Letting Rose stay at his apartment in NYC when he needs to
- Found a super drugged Rana who accidentally summoned him directly after a work assignment, cleaned her apartment a bit, fed her, then laid some brutal truths on her to get her to clean up her act while promising he would be there whenever she needed him.
- Gabe visited
- Talked with Halla
- Was a smart ass to Komir
- Smoothed things over with Komir, learned some interesting rumors
- Came to the belief Hlif brainwashed his daughters to think royalty is better, really got under his skin because fuck royalty and also the viking children are brats
- Broke into Karana's apartment and wiped out all the drugs. Got a call later about it, denied it and fabricated it could have been his enemies in the city, took her out for lunch.
- Elliot health spiraling downhill and adding stress
- Partied with Rose, Benat, and Daire a good bit. Witnessed Rose's skillllls.
- Hired a maid to keep his NYC apartment clean because rose trashed it
- Vrath was born! He's an uncle!
- Losing sleep and sanity as he has more on his plate since Elliot can't help out, grateful for Cillian's assistance
- Maggot died at some point! Karana was distraught, helped her out with that.
- ZAC NO WHERE R U
- Karana visited him at home a few times. Gave her a KEY. Showed her his faun form in allllllll his glory. Took her out the next day with him when he got a Prince Albert.
- Karana was ABDUCTED by old mafia associates because TECHNICALLY yes he did betray them and apparently people get upset about those things. Ended up flying down to NYC, pistol whipped and tortured in an abandoned warehouse for a bit until Rana woke up from dat good chloroform. Then attention was on her cause they wanted his home address and everyone knows ku is just a sucker for pain. Watched them do that for a bit before he RAGE snapped, somehow blended his forest form and his human form into a terrifying amalgamation and demolished everyone, though shot a SHIT ton in the process. But it's okay because that kept them from putting more nails under Rana's nails.
18.03.2017 The lion partied a bit too hard last night. Initially, his St. Patrick's day bar crawl was going well, and under control, but after his drink was mixed up and he drank something intended for a nearly unfortunate young woman, his judgement soon slipped. Immediately lost all self control and started binging, which got past his incredible alcohol tolerance. Moving from one bar to another in his home city of Boston, got into numerous bar fights before his memory failed him as he indulged in more than alcohol at around two in the morning.
Woke up around ten with the worst hangover he had experienced, in an unfamiliar apartment on the floor in South Boston. Noted that he had a number of new bruises, but still numb from his cross fading. Not as sore as he should have been, but the pounding in his head and the pain the sound of the city caused him had him leaving and heading for the forest. Leaned against a tree for stability and threw up near the plaats. Buried it because he's not a total dick. Was soon found by Maggot and Karana. Spoke with them and admitted to getting "little fucked up last night." Eventually flopped down and got a massage from Karana after learning Mag had a similar night. Numbness was fading, however and finding some serious pain in his torso. Pulled out a piece of glass from his stomach and has a suspicion there is more and that the sticky thing is a bandage for a bullet wound. 10/10 saint patty's day.
17.03.2017 About a month ago, he discovered exactly what had been done with his heart when he was accidentally summoned to the apartment of Karana. After conversation, all was sorted out and he took her for breakfast after borrowing a t-shirt, as he was on his morning jog and he refused to wear one if he can help it. He has spent some time over the last few weeks getting to know her a bit better, taking her out and such. Given she possesses his heart and appears able to summon him on a whim or accident, he found it prudent that he gets to know her very well.
Hlif has also given birth to two health baby girls which has him absolutely thrilled to bits. He has been visiting them at every opportunity he gets, though remains concerned for the cultural differences between himself and the shield maiden and thus their differing styles in parenting. Once they are weened, he plans to have them spend more time with him. He has also learned a few things about Elliot's situation and noting the toll of stress on the elf. Thus, he has assigned his brother to babysit Cillian while he checks in on Rhona in his stead. He gave her Valerian root for insomnia at one point and is trying to form a solid opinion of her. Finds her very easy to relate to, but still thinks the two are a match made in Hell.
A few day ago, he found Anja very round and nearly ready to give birth after he had been laying with Jhorla. He stopped in two days later to find her giving birth. Gave her room for such, despite want to keep beside, learned his lesson in his first round being alive when he lost skin on his face to an angry lioness. Waited on her and was ecstatic to see the children. Noted which was his, Saoirse but is incredibly concerned over well being, noting how weak and frail she is. Stirred a strong protective streak in the lion and Kuwaka is rather hesitant to let anyone approach Anja currently, bordering on aggression upon spotting nearby strangers. Introduced Bree and Cillian to their youngest sister and promised Bree a pet when she comes home with him.
Tonight, he decided to relax and go barhopping, given that it is Saint Patrick's day and his Boston accent lead most to believe he has Irish heritage, planning to exploit the saying, "Kiss me, I'm Irish." Also, aware tomorrow marks his second year of a far more complicated life.
14.02.2017 A week ago, the lion was in the forest, relaxing with friends and investigating a spirit snake. He soon spotted a frequently wandering about Nikhil. With some thought that had been rattling about while he was stuck as a spirit, he decided to approach the stag, not really concerned about the consequences. He tried talking with the other in a hope to start resolving their prior issues with one another. He soon realized he should have started differently and approached at another time, but he was already committed. The conversation left him frustrated, and made a sassy comment because his patience had suddenly abandoned him... And Nikhil retorted and #triggered Ku... But OH WELL. He flopped down in flowers near Isiel and remained oblivious to the slight looks he was getting. Then he was joined by Elliot, who he immediately demanded take him home before he tried to kill someone as he was tired of grazing and hungry for meat too slow for rabbits and people frown on "cannibalism". This caused a sorta moody conversation to ensue between the pair in Sindarin. Eventually, Elliot took him home when they had come to a compromise.
Life did not remain calm necessarily. While he has gotten back into his routine, exercising and spending time with his kids, Maggot gave him a call when he was in the middle of making breakfast. Apparently his butt buddy needed a heart and was wondering if Ku had one. Not remotely bothered, Ku fetched one of his from the storage where he keeps his morbid mementos and ran it down to NYC. Of course... He could not visit Maggot and he was giving Maggie his heart for who knows what. The lion drove home the next morning with some bruises and scrapes.
03.02.2017 Over the last week and some days, a fair few have stopped by to visit the body. Kuwaka, trapped in spiritual form, took note of all, touched by those who spoke to or "kept him company," and amused by those who tried to snack on him, holding no ill will to any he knows big steak dinners r hard to come by in the forest. Today, he finally felt that he could enter his new body again, though aware the mental development had yet to catch up, thus took a few precautions and is prone to simply drop unconscious at times. A few things have been noted, such as an increase in his size, growing closer to his original size in his home world, as well as what he perceives as a looser connection between his soul and form. Before hopping into his body that was concealed under the rock at his "grave," paid a few visits to the waking and sleeping dreams of others, to reassure those who may have that had taken note of corpse.
The lion emerged then from the hidden cave he had dug out, docile but lacking full sentience, possessing something of a childish nature as his brain is still not fully developed, with all memories available to him. He has vague notions toward others, but with his current size, is proving to be typical of a lazy feline. The golden lion is currently incapable of speech, but things said to him are liable to recalled later and tone and body language do not escape him.
(Thanks to anyone who kept his corpse at all company! He appreciates it though corpse snuggles are a bit morbid)
26.01.2017 Despite it having been days of his corpse simply laying in the birch, Kuwaka's body has yet to begin decomposition and blood lays on the ground, fresh as the day it was spilled. The spirit has lingered about and has taken notice to visitors as it awaits a new body to form. People have investigated, some mourned, but the body is still unchanged, even after a few attempted scavengings. The lingering spirit found it amusing, but is most worried about certain individuals stumbling upon it.
21.01.2017 After a week of his corpse sitting in a metal box at the main office of where he works, his body faded and manifested in the site of his first death in the forest. Blood has yet to congeal or dried, and despite the manner upon which he took his life, his body harbors no wounds or indications of his death. The golden lion's underweight body lies with its head in a pool of blood, leaking from its mouth an eyes, as well as a patch at the back of the skull. For no known reason, the corpse seems indestructible and carrying a potent, neutral aura of enchantment. Seeming impossible to skin or damage, it lies in wait to be collected or otherwise.
13.01.2017 No longer among the living as of 10:43 PM. Spirit wanders and visits the outer and astral planes, as well as the dreams of friends and family.
12.01.2017 Decided to stop into the forest today. Slightly avoidant but also pining for familiar faces with the expected event tomorrow that he is... Not excited for. Hiding his illness still to some degree but no longer too successful with it. Lethargy is pretty well set in, but despite his state, capable of pushing himself to extremes if needed and is entirely unconcerned with the ramifications of such.
