Life with Koda

[Spectrum]

"great, anyone else object?"

OOC: I'd like to share some of Spectrum's past stories, when he was a fox antrhomorph, but I won't detail it as much to where it would give away my "secret"....Heh,eh, like my friends diamond and space doing different stuff and mildy wild stories. I"d like to hear others stories like yours, truttle, and yours, Niki. I'd like to know how you came to meet each other. We'll share special, big story at the salmon run, like they say "What is the Most interesting thing that happened to you this year. I'll have something put up, like how Kenai told Koda the truth, but I'll do something completely different in the process.

[Nikiski]

OOC~ Oh yah no prob you can stay over at "my cave" whenever you want to.

"Oh, all right, all right, listen to this. When I was still a cub, I used to do a lot of weird stuff, but my friend Spice was weirder! One time we saw a moose taking a nap, and then we saw birds around. So we caught some fish, put it around the moose mouth, and we ran and hid. The moose noticed and got up, seeing the fish around him. But all of a sudden all these birds flew into him to get the fish, the moose was mad because the bird hit him. Spice and I were laughing so hard and I thought the moose heard us and knew that it was us, so he chased after us. I've never been chased before that day, so I ran as hard as I could..."

I knew it was going to be a long story, and I saw my fellow bears... er... had their eyes half opened.

"Ahem, I guess that's the end of my story..."

Nobody seemed to realize that that was a "shortened" story...

[Spectrum]

As I listened to Niki's story, I glanced over towards the end of cave. Kenai was being very quiet. I saw him laying down awkwardly by the wall of the cave. I walked over to him and looked at his face. His eyes were open and he was breathing steady. I asked him what was wrong. He didn't reply, instead, he let out a long sigh and closed his eyes.

"You can go to sleep if you want to now, Kenai..."

I saw his nod, and I walked back to the others.

"I've got some stories to tell, but I'd like to hear something from Truttle..."

I looked at Truttle and decided in my mind it was his turn. He looked at me and then at Niki and looked as though he were ready to tell.

OOC: Denahi has writer's block currently, hopefully by the next day, he will be out of it and he cna continue. until then, I improvised with the fact he goes to sleep. Koda, you need to do something too, just to let you know.

[Nikiski]

OOC~ Ah well, I can wait... I can...

[Truttle]

OOC: Realized that I'm taking too long. I can write something! I know I can! Just wait for me! (Gets left behind trying to tie his shoes.) WAAAIIIT!!!

[Nikiski]

OOC~ Take your time, Truttle, I'm off for 6.5 hours from now...

[Koda]

OOC: I'm here! *gasp, pant!* Wow, it's hard to keep up here, eh? hehe!

BIC: I listen to Niki's story, and it reminds me very much of one of my own. I start laughing as he tells about the fish in the mooses mouth, and how the angered moose started chasing them!

"That's a great story, Niki!" I laugh, holding my sides. I look and see my big brother going to sleep in the corner, and I wonder if he's okay, or just tired. I pad over and lay beside him, to listen to the stories from Kenai's side.

"Yeah, Truttle, let's hear one!" I say to Truttle.

[Truttle]

BIC: "I was saving this story for the salmon run, but I'll tell you. One day I went swimming with some friends. We played around in the shallow end and dived into the deep end. At one time I tried to dive into the deep end but instead of swimming straight up, I tried to swim to the shallow end from the bottom. But I became too confident. I became a little relaxed and I instinctively breathed in, as if I forgot I was underwater. At that moment I realized the big mistake I made. My lungs felt like they were being squeezed from the inside. I flailed my hands and feet to try to swim to the top but as the pain kept increasing every second seemed to take forever. It sends a horrible pain straight to your head and you feel disoriented. I tried my best to hold my breath to keep from swallowing more water but I couldn't stop coughing. When I reach the top I couldn't control my swimming so I could only pop my head out for a quick second only getting a small, choked breath that didn't help much. I wouldn't make it unless I made it to the shallow end. I tried swimming but the pain was becoming unbearable. When I finally felt my toes touch the edge of the shallow end I picked up my head out of the water and coughed out all the water and gasped for breath. I had a huge headach and my chest was burning. I didn't want to get back in the water after that. I had to lay down. I realized that I could've drowned and was thankful to still be alive."

OOC: True story. And the stupid life guard never even noticed.

[Nikiski]

OOC~ As I promised, yes I'm back, in 6.5 hours!
OOC2~ Sounds like "Niki" has become the "official" short form of my name...

After telling my story, Spectrue and Koda suggested that Truttle should tell his story. I agreed. After hearing Truttle's "life and death struggle" against the water, I said,

"Whoa, almost got drowned? That wouldn't be fun... Glad you're still around..."

I let out a smile, then I thought to myself about the time I almost got killed by a hunter. That WAS a scary moment... Those sticks... Aah... I felt the fur on my back rising... @@

I was trying not to think about that... I turn to Spectrue...

"Hey, how 'bout you. Tell us your story... pleeeaaasse?"

[Spectrum]

OOC: I"m sorry guys, I wasn't able to come to thye comp all day today. My internet was temporarily "pawed" with at the SBC company, so our service was subsided for a few hours. then I had to go outside and play with the dogs. THEN i had to take Diamond for a walk. THEN! I had to go with my dad somewhere... so yea, that's my story.

BiC: I looked over to Koda, seeing him sit beside Kenai. Good, I thought, maybe he'll feel better later. I listened to Truttle's story, and while he was telling it, I could feel the pain, the frustration, the great deal of water, filling my lungs the way he said it. I thought how I almost drowned before...It really wasn't pretty, and I could of been stuck under a floaty for all eternity...

"That...that was a great story, Truttle. I remember when I almost drowned a couple of times..."

I nudged my head, and thought maybe it's my turn.

"Huh...Ok, let's see...I suppose I'll tell a story. Where shall I begin...

Ok, it was heated summer day, trees ablazing, water turning to steam. It was so hot that day, I had to go into my 'cave' several times to keep cool in the back of it. It was a great deal of summer heat, and I wasn't happy about it. I walked out several times, trying to find shade. I found several spots, near cool bodies of water, but they were all taken. Finally, I found a spot, and I layed in the shade of a tree, water glistening with cool moisture, flinging toward my face. Suddenly, I heard a crack. I looked around, trying to find out from where it came from. I looked behind the bushes, beyond the trees, deep into the forest. A bright flash brightened from a single object in the grass. It was, by far, more than an object. It was a Razor, SHARP, TOOTH! And it was connected to the mouth of a breathing, living, beast, for it was a wild sabor-toothed boar. It snorted, and ran towards me with all it's might, it's harsh, deadly breath, tingling right near my neck, as I speeded off into the forest of blaze. It kept chasing me, and chasing me. I finally flew off a giant rock that had a fall of 50 to 100 feet or so. I fell and fell and went straight down into a tree log, upright and into the hole of it. I stayed there for hours, listening to the dark breathing of that pig's inhaling, ready to kill me. Finally, after it got dark, the boar walked away into the darkness, and I got up from my cramping position within the log. I never left my home for a week after, and I was more cautious than ever..."

As I finished up my story, I saw Koda, Truttle, and Niki, with wide eyes.

"Heh...I guess that's the end, huh?"

[Nikiski]

I was trying to picture what Spectrue said while he was telling the story. I thought that it wasn't that fun being chased by a boar. Then I thought how it must had hurt when Spectrue fell from that rock.

"Ooh... Wow..."

I looked at Spectrue with wide eyes.

"Spectrue, that was a great story! I don't know how fast you were running but I'm sure that was one memorable experience, eh?"

Feeling tired and I made a suggestion.

"Hmm, I'm feeling tired... May be it is bed time, huh?"

I rolled over, found a spot next and streched my massive body.

"Oy, this feels good..."

*snoring*

OOC~ someone can wake me up the next morning...

[Spectrum]

"Great, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I ran pretty fast, darn right. Could of been faster than a speeding arrow!" I laughed.

"Yea, I beleive it's time to take our night to an end."

Niki stretched out his body and relaxed. I watched him doze away and snore.

"Hm..." I walked around a little bit, sat for a second, then pushed my body down slowly. I was still restless, but I tried to close my eyes.

"Night, everyone."

I deepened my slumber more and soon fell into dark and bright colors of dreams.

OOC: Spectrue will wake up during the middle of the night to do something, anyone may take part or role in to catching me in my own act. *it will have something to do with my 'pendum' I spoke of earlier...

PS. Also, for a short name, you guys may call me spec, sorry, niki, for not asking you bout it first, lol ;D

[Truttle]

"Yeah. It was fun hearing everyones stories. I'm going to go to sleep now. See you guys in the morning."

I yawn, lay down, then roll over and fall asleep.

[Nikiski]

OOC~ Below are scenes from my dream, you can ignore it. I just feel like to let you guys know... I'm going W-I-L-D in this one... ;D

I was walking in the forest, with my older brother, Siraki. We were sharing stories with each other. All of a sudden, he said he smell something. I started sniffing and I smelt humans! I paniced, and didn't know where to go. I see a group of about 5 or 6 hunters running towards us. I groaned was shocked, and my brother said to me,

"Run! I'll distract them."

I shoke my head.

"No, let me help you!"

"RUN!!!"

He pushed me off the slope, and I rolled down until I hit a tree. I tried to get up, but the pain was so severe that I had trouble moving. I looked up to the top of the slope, I didn't see my brother, I saw the hunters poking those sticks. I was frightened and I heard my brother roared.

"Rarr!"

It echoed. The hunters found me and they chased down before I could think. I put the pain behind me and started running. I ran through a pass through a mountain, and after that I found a cave and I went into the deepest part of the cave, weeping.

After some hours, I walked outside of the cave. I sniffed and the scent of human wasn't there anymore. I ran towards where me and my brother were, hoping that he's ok, but...

[Spectrum]

An owl hooted in the night. A breeze of midnight wind flew across my back. My eyes shot open, and I looked around in the darkness of the night. Nothing. I scanned the cave area and saw Niki was trembling in his sleep. He must be having a nightmare, I thought. Truttle was sound asleep, and Kenai and Koda were close together at the far left end of the cave. I got up cautiosly, not to make any sounds, and walked by the two. I steadily walked past Koda's nose, trying my best not to wake anyone. He sniffed and sighed a deep sigh. i hoped he wouldn't get up, but I made progress nearer to the end of the cave. I walked beyond a cave wall and looked up at the ceiling. A green aura enclosed within my neck, where my prism pendum lay hidden. I looked down at it, and pawed my maine to let it dangle out again. It chimed very silently, and glowed more and more. I suddenly got a vision of dark clouds and white lights, breaking glass and twighlight stars. A voice enduered in my ears. It said words I could not comprehend. I could make only one foriegn word out. Caliceianoses...Calicenianoses...I repeated it several times, very quietly. Rushing air was filling my ears, chiming and light blasts entered my vision. It was all very wild, with green chasms of light split the air around my face, and all of the sudden....it stopped, with a loud "Crick"!

"Hauu,,,!" I gasped and turned around. It was one of the bears, I could barily see.

OOC: One of the bears sees the very last bit of green light execute out from my prism. It has to be Koda, Kenai, or Truttle. Niki is dreaming a nightmare currently, so...I just thought it'd be appropriate for an event that one of the bears sees a tiny bit of it, making it sound a little more mysteriouse, and I thought it mine's well be Koda, since he's supposed to be the star of the RP...If anyone thinks I'm being a little too controling over this, LET ME KNOW! ok? Sorry.
