Koga

k o g a the elder wolf Another mysterious message. Another quiet wait on Floor 5 for perhaps the only friend Koga knew he could rely on, no matter what. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty. It was a little like he was taking advantage of NIGHT's kindness, but, who else could he turn to? He'd repay her, one day. For now though, he stood in the cool shade of the buildings awaiting her arrival, Okami dozing at his feet, succumbed to the heat of this Floor. At least this time, it wasn't just help that Koga h

k o g a the elder wolf He hadn't exactly disappeared from the world as he had before, but he hadn't exactly made an effort to stay within it's sight either. A lot had happened after all, only compounding pains he'd only just healed from. He needed time to think. They both did. The past couldn't be changed, their actions had their consequences. But, perhaps, this was for the best. At least, that's what Koga had been thinking as he lazily wandered through th

Koga heard the door ring a second time, after the first customer had left. By the time he had come out of the back, the apparent customer was gone already. But, they had managed to leave behind a request form. The man glanced at it and shrugged. Okay, if he couldn't make this, he really was a piss poor smith. And then the unbelievable happened. He didn't just create the order, he surpassed it. And on the first attempt. Was this a miracle? Deciding he should just give the customer this anyways, he dusted his hands off and opened his messenger.

With all this strangeness, and all these strange changes going on, maybe something had changed for the better for Koga? Or at least, he thought it might be worth giving it a shot. Who knew what could happen with a little faith after all? Well, apparently the answer to that question was jack shit. Koga's luck was about as bad as usual, if not worse. The man groaned in frustration as he collapsed into his chair and threw the hammer at the wall, striking it with a heavy thud. "Well...I guess somethings never change. I'm still a shit smith." Truer words have never been spoken.

The message sent, Koga went to the front of the shop to prepare the display for his customer. Usually simple, it was still something he never neglected to do. He was, after all, proud of the immense pain and luck that he put into these crafts. As usual, laid across the counter top, a crimson cloth. The sword, still in its sheath, lay atop the cloth and atop the sword, the shield. One might've thought it was a family crest or something. Satisfied that this would work, Koga sat down in his chair behind the counter, Okami beside him, happily receiving some scratches from his owner, and

Another day, another nine hours of hammering steel and other various blocks of metal and non-metal in the hopes of it becoming something that even remotely resembles a good craft. Koga sighed. As much as he loved working with his hands, the fact that he had little to no real control over what he was making was absolutely infuriating. Of course, the few times things came out exactly as he wanted were amazing, but all the other time...oh, hey look at that, two perfect crafts without spending thirty thousand years at the forge...the world must be ending of something, Koga reasoned as he sent a me

Another day in the shop. Another day of amazingly bad luck. Maybe Koga should just close down the shop permanently. What was the point of all this after all, it wasn't like he made money doing it. Hell, he most certainly lost money. Noct could have the shop to herself too, then. Save them both some trouble. The smith grumbled as he threw another not-what-he-was-looking-for craft into the stockpile and sighed. No, she'd probably hate him even more if he did that. Giving up for the day, Koga dusted his hands off and grabbed his coat, heading out the door.

An unfamiliar purple haired woman, a little older in appearance than Koga strode into the shop, and very quickly handed the blacksmith a piece of paper with two orders on it. The man scrutinized it as he waved the woman off, "I dunno, a bowl of ramen or some bulgogi or something. I'll message you when its ready." And with that, Koga went into the back and set to work...on the long...long process...of just praying to high heaven that his rolls were good enough that he would be able to get these done in a day or two. They were not.

I was bored and decided not to school

Koga had started to lose track of everything going on around him. There was another addition to the motely crew of players again, who seemed to enjoy Blue's cake as well, and Lish and Astralin were still chatting about the books, but other than that, Koga was lost. Well aside from his conversation with Sketch and the sketchy man. That was a conversation he could at least follow along with. "I mean, personally, I treat it as a hobby. I know I'm not making money, I don't have the luck for it. If there's some other secret to beating the system, I don't know it. But hey, if you guys crack the

Koga visibly deflated as Blue explained that she neither remembered him, nor had the chance to use the weapon he'd crafted. That was perhaps the greatest insult that could ever be given to a craftsman...And sticking her tongue out at him, teasing him like that...this woman really was the devil incarnate. The man Koga had almost used as a target almost immediately flipped a lid as Koga's first sentence left his his mouth. "Wow...you must be a lot of fun at parties," the swordsman deadpanned with an unamused stare. However as Sketch seemed to piece together what Koga was saying, Koga nodded

Much to Koga's surprise, the craft only took two attempts. Maybe after everything that Koga had been through the last few days, the god's finally deemed him worthy of a tiny ray of light. Or maybe they just pitied him, who really knew at this point? Whatever the case, the weapon was done, and so after only a couple of hours, Koga had sent Starla a message letting her know her craft was ready. The weapon would be waiting for her on the counter top, sitting on a crimson cloth, as was his trademark for custom orders. "There you go, all done. No dying now, alright?" @Starla Giving t

Hearing the shop's bell ring, Koga walked out of his forge in the back and out into the shop proper. The man appeared different, with bags under his eyes, and a scowl affixed to his face that didn't even leave when his eyes found Starla. "Hey Star." He at least did her the kindness of greeting her. "Can I help you with something?" Ah, another dagger. "Yeah, that works. I'll message you when it's ready, hopefully it won't take too long." Hopefully RNGesus would show some mercy for once on the smith. He was getting sick of spending days on a single weapon that shouldn't take him more than a

Astralin began pulling out various books. For alchemy, and the other one he'd seen when he'd helped her on the quest for the Hoya. "Oh, is that what that was for?" Koga asked, "I'd been wondering about that before. Haven't seen anything like it in the game before." He didn't really know how useful it was, since the sword art system kind of did most of the work for them anyways, but he supposed they all had their things, and this just happened to be hers. The woman in the corner stood, and appeared to be very irritated as she did so. But not nearly as irritated as the man who Koga had almo

Koga couldn't help but find amusement in the fact that Lish had ordered 'root beer'. Even funnier that the server didn't even bat and eye and just accepted the order. It made Koga wonder if there was something resembling a kid's menu or something through Aincrad, since he knew for a fact children were in the game. It made sense at least. Everyone else began to make their orders as well, and then Sketch whispered something to the server. What, Koga didn't quite know, but when the man made a small gesture, Koga did look in the direction the man had indicated, and spotted a dark haired woman

Koga walked back into the shop, surprisingly without bags full of items to junk sell, a truly peculiar sight indeed. Nope, this time, he was here to make an actual purchase. Crazy. Buying things from a merchant...what a concept. Koga walked up to the counter with a smile and greeted the woman before ordering. "Hi, uh, could I get some Tier Two Materials please? Ten of them, if you have them?" Finally, Koga wouldn't feel quite so bad about bringing the woman thirty plus items to junk sell...he imagined having to deal with something like that would be extremely annoying. Sending Androm

Koga smiled, happy to hear that everyone approved of the establishment. "Yeah, it's a pretty nice place," Koga said as they all passed by him and entered, Koga following soon after, but not before someone else slipped in with them. "I don't think they have single malt, but I'm down to try every drink in the place if you are," Koga said to Sketch, unaware of the new presence that had sneaked it's way in with them. Koga pulled up a chair alongside the others, and seated himself in it on the other side of Sketch. "So, what was it that you wanted to ask me?" Koga asked, as he waved down

Koga listened in to the conversations going on behind him while he lead the way to the tavern. It was good to know that he was the only alcoholic among the four of them. Well, as much of an alcoholic as one could be in a world where the words 'alcohol', 'drunk' and 'inebriated' might as well not exist. The chit chat was...and odd experience, however. It had been a long time since Koga had been surrounded by so many people. He'd always been comfortable in his solitude, but the last year or so, he'd become so accustomed to being on his own, it had taken him a while to adjust to interacting

Satisfied with his work, Koga sent a quick message over to Lishuu. By the time Lish would arrive, Koga would have laid all three items across a long crimson cloth, laid across the top of the oak counter top. "So, I wasn't sure if you wanted a one hander and a shield, or a two hander, so I just made it all. You can thank me later," Koga said as Lish walked in, with a smile on his face. He could only hope she liked the pieces. @Lishuu
