Since you didn't ask... (Mayadere and raleighallynn)

Gin was quiet as Effy spoke, asking what Flauros was. He couldn't really answer such a thing, even if he wanted to. Gin didn't fully know who Flauros was aside from the fact that he was powerful in many different ways. Healing was one of them, the ability to turn into a leopard was another, and the rest Gin wasn't too sure about. Letting out a groan, Gin leans back in his chair. He now only had two cats on himself, most of them had flocked over to Effy after she plopped down. He silently reached a hand up to pat the cat that remained on his shoulder loyally.

"Well, you'll have to ask him that. Not everyone is willing to tell everyone about what they really are. There are quite a few of us that hate it ourselves, so we don't see a need to share. Flauros is sort of one of those, on top of that he likes to keep it a secret. But if you ask... I have a feeling he will tell you, if you really wanted to know." Slowly Gin finally gets up and moves over to the shelves. He scans them over, letting out a soft sigh. He was already starting to deflate again. He just sort of ends up standing there, staring blankly at all the bottles. But he was dragged out of the blankness as the cat on his shoulder lightly headbutted his cheek. A faint smile forms onto his face, slowly reaching up to grab one of the various bottles before moving back to his chair.

"Effy, I-" And Gin was once again interrupted, by the cat on his shoulder. Lightly the cat swashed its tail over his face, catching him off guard, then it merely paws at the bottle. Why did Flauros keep such cats? "Fine, fine!" He grumbles at the feline as he lightly rubs his face into its fur while he goes about working to unscrew the special cap on the bottle.

Since you didn't ask... (Mayadere and raleighallynn)

Flauros turns and offers a rather warm smile towards Effy and the cat she held. "He is a very interesting one, that is for sure. He likes to make people jealous. As for how I have been doing, well, much better than you, if you must know." But that is all Flauros says before turning his gaze towards Gin who was keeping up rather easily, but was silent while petting the two cats that still held onto his shoulders. It took only a few minutes but well hidden behind the church was what appeared to be a shed! Flauros walked forward quickly and opened the shed door and walked inside... or well, down stairs. The cats that had been following him quickly darted ahead. A few remained behind and sat patiently, waiting for everyone to go inside.

Down the stairs led to another door, which thankfully this door lead to a large room. The room was well lit and somehow looked as if all these cats had never even lived there. There were no claw marks on anything, or any fur for that matter. There was a kitchen in the far right corner with a rather large fridge, and a MASSIVE bag of cat food beside it. All along the right wall was a giant rack, mainly filled with various kinds of booze and the alike. A few chairs were near the center of the room along with a rather large cat-shaped pillow that could have easily been mistaken for a bed. It could have fit nearly five fully grown adults with ease. There were two other doors on either side of the room as well, ironically with large cat doors in the bottoms of them.

"Please, make yourselves at home here in this room. Take what you want from the shelves and the kitchen. I will be right back." And that was it, Flauros moved right along and slipped through a well hidden door near the fridge. Several of the cats now sat beside the door, waiting patiently while a few followed him into the other room.

Gin moved right into the room and found himself in one of the chairs by the center of the room, near the massive bed-pillow thing. Two of the cats jumped into his lap right away, and one of the cats that had been on Gin's shoulder jumped off to hobble into one of the rooms... "And I know you are curious. I only brought trouble to his door once and it was because I was really sick. He isn't such a bad guy once you get past his... uhm... you know." Gin sort of waves a hand a bit awkwardly, not quite sure on what word he should use to describe the strange man and all his cats. All of his so very loving and strange cats.

"But he did mean you could take what you wanted from here. Want me to grab a few glasses for shots, or are we taking it straight from the bottle today?" He asked, now petting the four cats that had allocated onto him.

The Last Stand of Humankind

Interested.

Interested.

Since you didn't ask... (Mayadere and raleighallynn)

Gin would glare at the black and white cat from the other side of the car. While five had appeared to swamp Effy, a couple had appeared from elsewhere to swamp him. Two of them had jumped onto his shoulders and were clinging on carefully, rubbing their faces against his. But Gin couldn't quite help himself as he let out a small huff, slowly reaching his hands up to pet both of the tan Siamese cats as they began to purr loudly with contentness at being petted. "Right?" He says with a bit of a laugh. "They are all real sweethearts though." He murmurs, quickly locking the car before carefully making his way around the VW Bug, the two cats still on his shoulders, now both peering at Effy.

He still eyes the cat a bit wearily, managing out a bit of a laugh. "Ruuuude." He says towards the cat Effy, and quickly the two cats that rested on his shoulders stopped peering at Effy and began to purr and rub themselves all over his face again as if trying to comfort him from the sudden jealousy... over a cat. Maybe it was because what had happened not even a full hour ago, or maybe he had always just been a bit jealous when others touched her.

"Wow. Don't you two look like complete crap." A voice suddenly begins as a rather tall man starts to make his way over towards them, heading from behind the church it seemed. There were even more cats following the strange fellow, all of them just following along rather happily and contently. Tucked into the front pocket of his shirt was large, and a kitten had its head poking out. From a quick glance the man looked exactly as he had all those months ago, and in reality, Gin wasn't surprised.

"Ah, Flauros, my fri-" And before he could finish speaking, both of the cats simultaneously headbutted Gin. He just sort of stood there, now blinking.

"You, what are -you- doing here? Do you know how troublesome you are, what trouble you always bring?" Flauros would be glaring holes into Gin as he continued to walk towards them, but eventually he comes to a stop before he crosses the street, glancing towards Effy. "And you." He starts, no longer glaring. In fact, it looked like he had completely switched faces. There was a painfully friendly look to him now as he looks at her. "You look like you need a break. And maybe some tea, or a beer. Maybe vodka."

Flauros lets out a loud sigh before looking back towards Gin. "I hate you. Not in the kidding way, either. I really hate you, you always show up wanting something and I always somehow become obliged to help you." He is silent a moment. "And this time is no different. Come along, the both of you." He simply states before spinning on his heel and heading towards the back of the church, all the cats still following him. He does not even glance back to see if the two are following.

The Test of Mortality

Hmmm. Interested!

Guardians of Kado Village (Anime Inspired Fantasy)

GuySenpai said
I'm guessing that in such a small village out characters would more or less all know each other, right? At least by name or reputation, unless a character is intentionally isolated that is.

Actually, Guy. I was going to ask if you wanted to have your character in Ru-Ru's class or something. As his powers are sort of similar to what yours is learning, it would kind of make sense.

Guardians of Kado Village (Anime Inspired Fantasy)

Finished. I hope it is alright. I wasn't too sure about the tree, it felt like a bit too much... but I got the weirdest sense of pride from it for some reason? You know, the kind that makes your chest all warm with that 'ohmanthisisjustyes' feeling. I can change it though if needed! =D

Since you didn't ask... (Mayadere and raleighallynn)

"Ah, alright. Hopefully you wont be allergic to this one. At any rate we are heading over to Izzy's to grab some of my things and then we are going to play a bit of cat and mouse for a while until things settle down and hopefully all this blows over." Gin sat in the seat a bit awkwardly, he really didn't like driving and the inside of this thing felt like a trap. But he shakes it off and quickly starts up the VW Bug and starts to drive off down the road. "Actually, we are not even going to go to Izzy's. Do you remember that one guy I use to hang out with a lot when you first met me? The one with the black and white hair and pale complexion? Sort of looked like he didn't belong here and didn't even drink a drop of beer or anything?"

"We are going to his place for a bit, not long, just a short while." Other than that though, Gin was quiet while he drove. They made countless turns down unnamed streets, did some circles here or there... it might have seemed like he didn't have a clue where he was going, but Gin didn't even break eye-contact from the road. It was almost like he was running off of some internal driving map. It was a good twenty minutes of doing this. Though just as he goes to make another turn, he stops the car directly on a corner and lets out a low huff before continuing. "I really hate driving." And with that, he is off down a rather quiet, almost dark neighbor hood with a small church. Though they don't get much farther down the street, he stops the vehicle on the other side of the street of the church.

"Alright, were here." Gin sucks in a sharp breath, peering to Effy a bit nervously. "If any of the cats jump on you or are too pushy, just tell them no and they will back off, they are fairly tame."

History

Ruru's family was one of the first to allocate to the village, even though it is only himself now. His parents, when he was about ten, decided to scout far outside of the village for herbs and never returned. Though by that time the young cat-eared boy had learned most of their skills with the plants and herbs that they used to make potions, for medical use and otherwise. It was only a bit later that he learned how to mend the wounded plants and trees, and eventually how to force them to grow in or out of season! Many of the plants that he could not grow near or in his own home he hand to find outside in the forests and elsewhere on his own. This lead him to quite an exciting daily life of running about and exerting his natural agility and acrobatic skills. He was a very good child, and since he had no remaining family, he had a lot of help from fellow villagers. Many brought him hunting with them, fishing, and the alike.

As he grew older he began to participate in sparring matches, learning quite quickly from older Guardian's and sparring partners that he could be rather adept at combat. It didn't take him long, but eventually he was fighting on par with them. It was like second nature to him, and since he was so naturally flexible and agile because of his feline blood, he found it to be a good way to burn all his energy! After a while he decided he wanted to join the Guardians, which was relatively easy for him, seeing as various older Guardians already knew of his combat prowess and countless villagers stepped up to be vocal about his morals and the alike.

A short time after that he was asked to become a teacher by someone that was retiring. Since he had the time and found enjoyment in teaching children and others he jumped right in and has been helping teach since. As far as his aspirations have gone as he has gotten older, they really have not changed. He find joy in his simple life of teaching, hunting, and collecting herbs and making potions. Though on some levels he truly dreams of a day that there will be more action, or violence for him to help deal with.

Point of Interest:

Tree of Nesting

'Tree of Nesting'. Just a short walk outside of the south part of the village there resides a rather large, red leafed tree. It is very colorful and has many different kinds of fruit growing from its branches and vines, along with countless kinds of flowers one might not find around the village. Many of its branches have been carefully molded by Ru-Ru over the years to allow others to climb the tall tree, and some of the branches themselves are shaped to allow one to sleep there if they so wished. The bottom of the tree is a bit unusual, it had started to rot at some point before Ru-Ru found it. But with his careful help and melding of it with another tree, he managed to form the bottom into a decently sized room. Though there are a few holes for windows, there is no door. Very soft moss covers the insides along with vines. There are a few places were a table and shelves have been molded from the tree, allowing for storage and a place to make potions.

Ru-Ru often calls this 'his' tree, as he worked so very hard to keep it alive, it is where he makes all of his potions and the alike, even where he sleeps most of the time! But in truth it is a place for people to come and go freely, the tree has a very homely, welcoming feel to it. The tree virtually has no rules, though Ru-Ru has warned people not to take all of the fruit or to pick any of the flowers... Something about the tree becoming very upset! Though as to date, the tree hasn't hurt anyone.
