[h3]Kokoma[/h3]
Aluvera
I'm young and cute again? Waaah, my ears are so soft!?
[hr]

"Aaaaah~" Kosame, was tired, but when was she [i]not[/i] tired? Haaa, being a blue collar worker working a dumb 9-5 to five job for a dumb company for just making a living was a ~total~ drag. "At least I got home in time for the Expac~" She'd excitedly giggle to herself as she'd open the door to her apartment, quickly throwing off her suit jacket and tossing it onto a nearby pile of clothes that really should probably be put in the washer, but eh, she'd clean it later. She didn't want to miss the start of the newest expac.

First though, food.

She worked straight through lunch to get home early enough. Nothing a bit of fancy ramen couldn't fix.

The company drone sit in her chair, practically vibrating from excitement. Probably a bit odd for a woman in her thirties to get [i]that[/i] excited over a game, but did she care? Not a single bit. Aaaah, how many new little monsties were going to be in this expac? Which ones would she have to fight? Oh, and of course, what new classes? Maybe she could find something better suited...she wasn't really thinking about how easy it was to get in either. She was far too focused on just how exactly she was going to be proceeding. First she'd feed her current monsters. Harvest their materials. Make sure her player owned shop was up and still selling things on the market or whatever.

As soon as the servers would come online...Ah~!

"Here we-"

She'd login, selecting her character.

For a moment, she thought the bright light was either her excitement reaching supernova levels, but that was a silly thought. The next was that her computer had just went and died on her, but that too soon proved to be not what had happened.

[hr]

"-gooo? eh?"

Looking around her, she was standing in what seemed to be a field. Rolling lush plains of grass surrounding her. Large city walls rose in the distance. Had she worked too hard? Did she pass out? Did she not get enough sleep? Was she have some sort of weird fever dream, because this looked suspiciously like the outskirts of Aluvera. For a few seconds, she'd just stand there, for a very few seconds in her life, absolutely stunned and not having any witty or silly quip to make, or someone to antagonize with her usual antics.

"...Okay Kosame, maybe you should have laid off the special coffee." She'd grumble, reaching up and scratching her head...only to find something fairly unexpected. "Fweh?! Soft?!" Taking her other hand, she'd quickly check to make sure she just wasn't imagining it. No, that definitely was some sort of...fluffy...ear? Wearing a perplexed expression, she'd quickly look down at her body, her concern only growing with each part of her she looked over. 

"Weh? Smaller chest?" She'd pat the sides of her face. That wasn't her face. "Furry ears...no. No way. Really? For really real?" She'd twirl a few times, almost looking like a dog chasing its tail as she'd in fact, manage to just see a long, white tail sticking from her backside. Her hands would reach behind her, just to confirm. A quiet yelp later, and yep, that was firmly attached to her butt. This of course, was not a phenomena she was unfamiliar with, what with all the pop culture and manga surrounding it, but like...what? Just what? There was no denying it. From the way she was dressed, her younger, totally cute voice, soft fluffy ears and her amazingly cute self, she had quite literally, had finally gone completely bonkers from overwork, or had just become her Emerald Odyssey avatar - Kokoma.

"Is something the matter Kokoma-" 

And it was increasingly looking like it was in fact, the latter.

Upon hearing a voice nearby her, Kokoma's ears would stand straight on end, she'd spin and find herself unconsciously reaching out and grabbing something.

"...soft." Ah. It was...it was her. The arachne. Tatl. She was...ah. And she had reached out and was currently just...cupping either side of her face with her hands. If she was here, then...ah. Wait, did that mean all her mounts and tamed creatures were here?

"A-ahem...M-miss Kokoma if you...could let go of my face..."

"Eeeh, why would I do that when you're so pretty. I made a good choice in a maid, heheh, that outfit looks [i]great[/i]." In response to this, the Arachne would inhale, face turning a bright shade of red. 

"I-I was...uhm, going to ask...if you were alright. You were spacing out a bit..." The Arachne would respond, adjusting her glasses slightly in an attempt to hide her mild embarrassment. "But I can see you are fine, erm..." She'd say, quickly pulling away from Kokoma. "A-anyways...are we-Ah! Wait! Kokoma!"

Before Tatl could finish her question, Kokoma had set her sights on Aluvera. The moment the Arachne's attention wandered, the Shenke was already making a beeline for the city, sprinting. A wide grin plastered on her face. The more and more apparent it was becoming this wasn't some sort of dream - and even if it was - she should enjoy this, right? There was no reason not too! So she'd run into the city, down its streets. She didn't really have a goal in mind, yet, or was even thinking of her other mounts, abilities, skills or whatnot.

But not thinking was pretty par for the course for Kokoma.
