I'm noticing that Kou's dialogue in pictures is pretty hard to read due to the contrast not being super good. In the future could that be adjusted? :o
// Oh of course! My apologies!
Thank you for letting me know; I’ll up the contrast more drastically so it’s easier! ovo)b
Bantia
Well... kinda. I mean, she didn't actually... say yes to a date yet... and we didn't... have a full conversation that was more than 'hello's' and 'how are youse' and 'you're needed in the northern sector', BUT Once she undastands my suave flirting techniques and falls for my undeniable charms, then I'll be spoken for!
Kou
You seem... confident.
Bantia
Like I said, I'm wearing 'er down! Only a matter of time before I get to hold those beautiful intangible claws and take 'er to the fanciest dumpster this side of tha lake!
Kou
That wasn't a compliment...
Kou
Stop that. I'm not trying to ignore you, there's just someone who should have been here about twenty minutes ago, and he's taking his sweet time... ...I swear to the Divine if he's flirting with the Secretary again--
???
Next time I find him here, I will petition the Land to make him m̷u̵l̴c̶h̴.
Kou
Wh--
Kou
Bantia, do not tell me you were at where I think you were at...
Bantia
Aw c'mon, boss man, you lookit a face like dat and you try not ta get a number! I think I'm wearing 'er down!
Kou
You're late.
Bantia
Ehh, only by a few minutes!
Kou
It's been twenty.
Bantia
Two minutes, twenty minutes, same diff!
Kou
......
A long drawn out sigh.
...sure, I guess I could try that. That's what the problem is. Maybe I should line all the signs with the heads of Pokemon and humans who refused to heed them. Stain the wood with their blood, while I'm at it.
[......you can't tell if he's kidding or not...]
// In apology, I offer a scribble of the boy himself as tribute
// Long time no see, my dudes! ( •̀ ω •́ )✧
"Gee, Nans, where have you been?" you might ask.
Well, long story short...
I GOT EMPLOYED! 🎉
And they have been raking me across the coals because I was hired just when the holiday rush was starting, so not only was I having to adjust to a more physical schedule, I also had many hours to deal with, so... basically I was exhausted once I got home.
BUT
Now that holidays are over, everything should be calming down significantly, which means I'll have more energy to do askblog stuff (in-between comms of course)
Expect an update soon! Maybe even... this week..?
(I felt like drawing some random ask blog characters for a change. Just nice drawing some different characters. I suppose we can treat it as a fan art Friday.)

Kou
It's just....
A sharp, annoyed huff. The lake churns intensely for a second before it is still once again.
Kou
I figured it's not much to ask. The signs around the lake are written in both human hand and footprint runes, in the clearest sentences possible. Simply leave the place as you found it. And I would hope most people have the common sense to know not to make a mess and leave it. And yet, for literal years, it has been disregarded. Again. And again. And again. And again. And I'm t̵͓̮̑i̵̝̽͒r̶̬̓e̸͈͊d̵̟̘͘. If you couldn't tell, my patience for ignorance is incredibly low. If you don't understand it the first time, there won't be a n̶̤͐e̸͉̮͐̌x̷̛̲t̸͇̘͆͋ time.

"That's honestly fair enough. This is your domain, and it deserves respect. Allow me to show you mine."
A howl of wind sprang up at the command in Ancient. It spun all of the rubbish in the area into a spiral, which landed in a bag that Kyurem pulled out of his trainer bag. No rubbish remained.
"There."
"I am Kyurem. Your name, if I may?"
Party Trick: "LEGS. WHERE DID YOU GET THEM."

I figured evolution is getting closer, and my body is trying to acclimate to... whatever I'll be next. Something with legs, I guess. I might even stand upright at some point... which is fuckin' weird to think about.
Kou
......my purpose is the continued health of the residents here. By forcible means, if necessary.
// As an aside
From now on, Mr. Dragonair is gonna species match, appearance-wise! If you got a human/humanoid, he'll be humanoid! If you're rocking a feral form, he's rocking a feral form.
( @askthehoenngods ) Kyurem (normal form): "Hm," It wasn't exactly unusual for him to see a dragon defending their territory, but this one was acting a bit differently. Most Dragonair he knew showed some mercy. There was power in this one. He stood a respectful distance from the sea beast, an acknowledgement to this being their area.
"So this is your sea, yes? How did you end up with it?" He asked, "has it always been yours, or did you inherit it?"
Hackles lowered. Slightly.
??
...this lake is my station. I was simply chosen to protect it, is all. Even so, the Sea made it my duty, so it will be done.
??
Respect it, I respect you. Hurt it, I hurt you. Simple, really.
??
What a stupid question. What do I look like?
A low, sibilant hiss.
??
What have they done...? What they've done is use the lake as their own personal trash can. What they've done is disregard the health and comfort of many Pokémon who live within these waters, including myself. What they've d̴͖̈̌ó̴̜ṋ̷̡́͘ę̵̈͘ is something they'll never do again.
??
The noise, I tolerated.
Igno
Wh-- how did--
Cauda
Igno!!
??
The abhorrent feasting, I ignored. But this... leaving your filth behind, desecrating the Sea's creation, polluting the home of hundreds of other Pokémon in your selfishness...
...
...
...
...
...
??
...sigh.

So annoying... Divines help me, if I never have to find another asshole flagrantly disrespecting the environment, it would be too soon.
[ Well, uh... you don't get the impression that this new Pokémon is the most... friendly to talk to, but hey... maybe he might indulge you?]
