Life with Koda

[Nikiski]

OOC~ Heh heh ;D But where is Koda actually?

[Spectrum]

Turning to Nikiski and back to Kenai, I felt I forgot something.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't even tell you my name at all. My name is..."

I hesitated for a second. Spectrum wouldn't sound like a good bear name...I tried to ponder for a second, then in a gasp, I said

"My name's Spectrue."

Yes, that sounded appropriate. Hopefully they'd find it normal enough. Then I thought about what Kenai had said about this Koda...

"Who's this...little bro, Koda you speak of? I don't see him."
I looked around oblivous to any other bear around.

[Spectrum]

OOC: I thought Koda was like, in the river or something splashing Kenai, then Kenai told him to get back...Maybe he's planning to scare us...

[Spectrum]

"Hey, maybe he's already gone to the...um...salmon run. Why don't we just see if he's there already?"

Padding the ground, I was getting a little impatient. It seemed that this Koda they spoke of wouldn't show his face, so I thought, why not get this moving a bit?

OOC: Come on, let's get this RP alive!

[Nikiski]

OOC~ Alright then, Koda, come back in whenever you can

"Nice to meet you, Spectrue. You are new here, aren't you?"

I pointed at the river, saying to both Kenai and Spectrue, "Umm, I'm feeling kinda hungry... Shall we go eat together?"

[Spectrum]

"yes" I replied. "I'm new here. I, uh...come from a different region, err, from this, yea."

Hearing Nikiski's gesture, I felt a little better that they were accepting me. "Sure, let's get something." although I felt a bit thirstier than hungry, I thought a bite or two would cure me of any more stuff.

Wait a second... How was I gunna get something to eat? How exactly do bears catch fish? I looked at Kenai and Niki and they seemed to have a competetive look. Great, I thought. This is gunna be a long day...I don't know how to fish! I'll just try it, I thought, as I walked toward the river and waited for them to do their part.

[Nikiski]

So, we walked towards the river... As we walked, I told Spectrue all about myself.

"I am actually not from around here. I came from the north. When I first came to this salmon run, I was supprised to see so many bears at the same time! I mean, I had never seen so many bears in my entire life!."

I paused, then continued.

"Hey Spectrue, you know, I live in the cave west of the river, when you get a chance, you have to come and see. From the cave, you can see the mountain and watch the light touch the mountain every night!"

[Spectrum]

"Oh really? I wonder, if..." I thought about my friend Diamond. She was always so cool with me, especially since she lived in way up north. "Uh, nevermind. I never knew if there was a spot where all the bears could get together at a time. It's not exactly how I imagined being a be--" Oh, shoot, wait a second, I thought... " I mean, I never imagined being here, in this territory, with a lot of other bears... Heh."

Niki paused, and I could tell he was concerned with what I meant, but he continued.

"The lights touch the mountains around here? Wow. That...sounds...cool..."

I exasperated in awe of how wonderful it must look. Then, I stood thoughtful for a second. What if those lights...Could they have a role in my path to discovery? I'll have to think about that later...

"But, I'd really like to see where you live. I've always wondered how cool it'd be to live near the mountains. My grandparents lived up by the mountains...I wish I could of...settled down somewhere near them..."

I continued walking, and chatting.

"Well...I'm more of an adventurer. I never really stay in one place, and I'm always on my way somewhere. I have two friends but...there not native around here...One is...a syberian husky. She was so light-hearted and always knew what to say. The other was always serious, never smiling, never sad, just...stone. But he had a heart and I could tell and that's how I met him. But enough about me, what about you, Kenai?"

I looked toward Kenai, thinking he must have some kind of story to tell.

[Nikiski]

(To Kenai) "Ya ya ya Kenai, you gotta tell Spectrue that story..."

[Koda]

OOC: dude, sorry guys! I'm really behind...wow, this roleplay's on fire!

BIC: Swimming in the cool water, I float, letting the ebb of the river flow against my fur. I slide below the surface and snag a salmon in my mouth, then pop up to set it on shore. I go back for another one, when I notice Kenai isn't coming. Looking around to see where my big brother went, I notice two other bears, one I recognize, one I don't. Nikiski I know, but the other I am guessing is one of Kenai's friends that he's never told me about. I shrug my shoulders, and the water ripples around me. Then, the trio begin to walk toward the river, and a grin grows on my face. Silently, I take a gulp of air and slip under the water again, right where Kenai and his friends will approach. I wait for them to come nearer.....

[Nikiski]

OOC~ Koda, great to see you!

[Truttle]

OOC: I don't want to ruin this roleplay by adding another bear when there are already three bears and a cub, but I'll try to work my way in.

BIC: After traveling through the forest, on my way to the salmon run, I come to a river bank. I was really thirsty from my journey, so I approach the river to get a drink. I heard the faint sound of voices approach the river. I peer down across the other side of the river where I heard the voices from. I saw three bears walking toward the river and a little bear cub wadding near the edge of the river. Two of them were normal looking bears but the third bear was like I'd never seen before. He was a light silver color with dark splashes of grey here and there and brown marking on his head. I thought it was an odd group of bears but I was lonely being on my journey alone and I figured that they might be going to the salmon run too. So I decided to try and join them. The river wasn't very deep, so I just walked across the river and walked in their direction. When I came up to them they stopped talking when they noticed me. That made me a bit nervous but I tried to introduce myself.

"Hi. Sorry to interupt you guys but I saw you traveling toghether and I was wondering if you would let me join you? I'm trying to get to the salmon run. Are you going there? I've been on my own for a while and it gets pretty lonely. My name is Truttle. Not turttle. I know its a weird name but thats what they call me. I know I'm rambling on and on but I haven't met many other bears so I'm a bit nervous..."

"So who are you?"

[Nikiski]

OOC~ Welcome! Great to see another person... er... bear joins in!

Still waiting for Kenai to start his story, but I smell the scent of another bear.

"Wait, Kenai, I think some other bear's around..."

Sure enough, it IS another bear, who's walking across the river now...
After he has introduced himself, I think may be Kenai wants to save his story for the game tonight... So...

"Uhh, may be Kenai, you should save this story for tonight... heh heh..." I try too pull off a smile.

"My name is Nikiski."

When everybody has finished introducing themselves, I said too all, "let's go eat!"

Note: we re now right where Koda is...

[Truttle]

Happy about finding some new friends, I join them to get something to eat. As we approach the river I recall the bear cub and I begin to wonder why he was in the river by himself. It looked as if he was hiding. I think he had a sneer on his face...

[Spectrum]

"Hi, Truttle. The name's Spectrue."

Getting eager to get some food, I get closer to the water, trying to figure out if they were going to *indirectly* show me how to fish for salmon...I was nervous, but, with a sigh of relief, I could tell it was going to be a great time. I looked toward Truttle and seen him studying something in the water behind me. Weird, I thought. I wonder what could be interesting in there...

OOC: I gtg, school stinks...
