Monster Hunter:Tooth and Tail

Posted, short and sweet. I wasn't really sure what to do so I just kinda... did something.

Monster Hunter:Tooth and Tail

Collie sat in the cart alongside several other presumed hunters, shifting uncomfortably on the wood. She was far from unaccustomed to loafing around in carts, but something about it made her shift her weight around in hopes of suddenly getting more comfortable. She never did manage to do so but after she attempted to for a while, the driver of the cart spoke up in the feline voice you’d expect from a felyne. The driver complained about the lack of conversation from the group, and Collie found herself nodding in agreement. But soon they all just went back to bumping along and getting jostled by the terrain.

The girl leaned back against the side of the cart, tilting her head back far enough so that she could stare at the sky. It seemed peaceful enough, with a couple of unidentifiable animals flying what looked to be just below the clouds themselves. She had to shield her eyes with her hand to continue looking up at the only ocean of blue they’ll find in the desert, and she found her hand lowering as her eyelids did.

The jolt and exclaim from the felyne awoke her. She didn’t catch the first part in her sleepy daze, but she did her the second part. It took her a brief moment to register what was truly happening; jaggis happening, hunters should make them not happen. She is hunter. And so, with that eloquent train of thought, Collie leapt up from her seat and tossed herself off the side of the cart, tumbling ungracefully once she hit the ground. She popped back to her feet immediately, and upon seeing the jaggis hopping around near the aptonoth leading the cart, slid the shoddy sword from its equally as second-rate sheath and approached the relatively small monsters from behind her shield.

“Commere," she shouted as she took a wide swing at the closest jaggi. “Aren't you just brutal lil' things! I’ve seen veggies with a prettier mug than yers!"

Persona - The True Self

This sunglasses swagon is ruining me. I previously couldn't use my precious Naoto baby without attempting to shop some shoddy glasses on, and it looks tragically awkward. But if Persona 4's taught me anything...

I need to face out, hold out, and reach out to the truth of my life. I need to be seeking to seize on the whole moment. Yeah.

Monster Hunter:Tooth and Tail

I was going to be like "Remember that thing where we hunt monsters?" but I quickly realized that that was not a good segway for so many reasons. Anyway, I anticipate the IC greatly. We'll sort the weenies from the hunters faster than you can say "roasted jaggi."

Monster Hunter:Tooth and Tail

Collie

Name: Collie

Age: 25

Sex: Female.

Height: 172 cm (5’8”)

Weight: 71 kg (157 lbs)

Appearance:

Personality: Easily excitable, optimistic, and impatient, Collie isn’t the most mature hunter that ever hunted, but she’s fiercely dedicated to her occupation as one. She’s the type of person who feels like they’re only “living” when they’re in action, and she’s always up to the task of hunting for something, even if it’s only a jaggi or scavenging for a specific type of mushroom. When asked, one of her primary motives for becoming a hunter was “being a hero”.
The last to fall asleep at night.

Backstory: (WIP? Will probably rewrite when I feel like it)
Collie was born and raised on a farm, but had always disliked working on it. She had always found it far too boring for her tastes. Feed the animals, laugh at the felynes, feed more animals, tend to the gardens, so forth. It wasn’t until the day where she saw a pack of jaggis in the distance being trailed by some hunters did Collie really feel that she had to get out of the country bumpkin life, and into that. Hack and slashin’, saving some traveling merchants from some monster, being part of a team! It’d be so cool!

So that’s what she did. Left the farm, somehow ended up getting some training from a hunter, and got straight into the biz. She was pretty small-time, obviously. Her skills were mediocre and her jobs were boring and tedious. That is, until she received a certain note.

Weapon Type: Sword & Shield.

Can I just say how much I appreciate the title? Because I do.

Persona - The True Self

I finally posted again. I'm done with serious stuff for now, so now it's time to lapse into disgustingly blatant fanservice for a month.

Oh right. You need your shades.

@Sho Minazuki

I'm always three steps ahead!

Mika going darksideeeee.

Well, she sure changed awfully fast.
Or the real her is coming out to play.
xD

@I-Am-X

This is srs biz rn. Srsly.

Persona - The True Self

Sato Hashimoto
/// Warakuma High, Archery Range

Sato pulled back on the door with his whole weight, grunting with effort to get the incredibly shoddy door to become unstuck and open. It slid to the side with a concerning rickety sound, and light poured into the room. There was late-day sunlight coming from the clouded window to the left of the room but the artificial lighting from the range over-powered it. The boy stepped inside and closed the door, not expecting it to close as easily as it did. A high-pitched voice greeted him with a “Hey”, and Sato’s eyes peered around the room until they landed on Mika standing in front of a bunch of boxes and two seniors horsing around by said mound of boxes. Sato took a few steps towards them, but just as he did, the decrepit light bulb above him turned off and on for a second in a flurry of sparks.

“It does that sometimes,” the angry-looking girl said before pushing the boy next to her back. Sato nodded in response, and looked over at Mika for some kind of explanation.

She brushed a strange of hair from her eyes. “Thanks for coming, Sato. Sorry for telling you to come to the backroom.”

“It is kind of creepy,” the senior guy interjected, tossing an arm around the girl. Sato recognized the guy from that one time Rokoru got into running marathon and often ran around the track with him, and he recalled that the girl was one of the members of the archery team that had been there since she was a first year. He presumed them to be dating based on how flirty she reacted to the arm movement.

“Thank you, Rento.” Mika glared at him before returning her gaze to Sato’s sharp features. “I just wanted your input on something. We were thinking Rokoru isn’t the best fit for club prez right now.”

“So… what? Who do you suggest would be a better choice? Me?”

“Of course not,” she replied, giving a smile that Sato couldn’t quite tell if it implied that she was joking or not. “I take it you agree with us.” He nodded. “I was thinking that someone like Rento or Hitomi. But not them.” The two seniors standing at the back of the room nodded in response, and Rento scratched at the practically non-existent hair behind his ear.

“Okay. So, correct me if I’m wrong, but… You want a third-year that’s been in a member of the archery team since first year? That automatically excludes myself, and you’ve already dismissed Rento and Hitomi—why are they even here?—so what, should we vote you?” Sato tried to get comfortable on his feet, but after shifting his weight from hip to hip a few times, he found a seat on a strangely hard box resting by the door.

Hitomi spoke up first. “Mika told us to be here in case you didn’t agree,”

Rento continued, “In which case we’d beat you up.”

“Yeah, a few broken bones would convince you!” She flashed the same smile from earlier again. “There’s no reason to set our minds to someone now, and I don’t want to be the leader. And I don’t think Rokoru would appreciate me usurping him.” She found her way to a box-seat as well.

Sato digested the information for a second and thought about what he would do in the situation. But a bigger question popped into his head. "Do you like him or something? Rokoru, I mean.” At being asked it, Mika pressed a strand of hair that fell onto her shoulder between her fingers. She didn’t blush or anything but it was clear that she didn’t intend to answer out of embarrassment. Sato smirked in reply, before standing up and walking over to the door. He tried to open the door and walk out all cool and collected, but the boy’s thin hands struggled to do so. Rento blew air out of his nose and walked over to where Sato stood. Standing on the opposite side from where Sato pulled from, the slightly taller boy pushed the door with his body weight behind it. A crack of wood resounded from it when it suddenly slid completely open. Sato thanked the boy while looking at the floor and took a few steps out, turning around to wave farewell to the other two.

As he walked over to the main room of the range, Sato’s mind chewed on what she said. Why they had suddenly decided that Rokoru wasn’t suited for the role of almighty ruler of the archery club, Sato couldn’t guess. Maybe it was because the boy’s enrollment at Warakuma High was being threatened. As he approached a group of guys he knew from his class that were loitering right by the front door (where he’d been just minutes ago), Sato shook the heads from his thoughts. It didn’t concern him. Not that much, at least.

Persona - The True Self

It's both relaxing and annoying for Sato to be doing alone stuff rn. I can chill out and just write my post slowly with noone waiting on me, but I have no real drive to do it as a result. Oh well. I'll get something up later today.

'Leiko and Toma hold hands.'

'Toma bashes Leiko's head in with a mace.'

@Kissu

I died when that happened. It was just so great. Pretty much everything Leiko did in that was great.

Persona - The True Self

Should we be relieved or concerned about that?
