♋: What drew you to this muse?

When i first started rping him back in the day, it was something of a challenge in my eyes. I generally rp jaded jerks with a heart of gold that talk a lot, so switching to a positive dog was entirely new. Now, he’s more of a comfort character, a muse that I can easily pick up and write. 

❥: How long have you been RPing this character?

A FEW YEARS I THINK... though it’s been on and off.

유: Who was your first muse?

Sakuya Izayoi, back in a tumblr mfrp from like, ages ago. My secret is that I’m a touhou at heart. I think it’s been like 7 years tho, I feel old as shit.

✈: Is it easier to write angst, fluff, or crack with your muse?

I’m generally used to writing angst with all my characters, so I suppose that comes the easiest (I’m sorry, I’m one of those people—), but Koromaru is happy enough that fluff is also pretty easy. I can really only do crack when it comes to meme prompts, I’ve found.

he runs in circles around her body, and almost on instinct, she kneels down so he can get a better look at her. she’s almost not surprised with the puzzled way that koromaru had approached her, thanks to amada.

as he rests on her, she raises a small hand up to his head, slowly running her fingers through the fur behind his ears, down to his neck.

❝ sorry boy.. i don’t think i have the brush that fuuka-chan bought you.. ❞ she apologises quickly, her voice soft and only a little sorrowful. she can’t hide very much from koromaru, so she doesn’t bother.

kotone pulls her hand away. ❝ i’m glad you’re okay, koro-chan. ❞

‘even if you can’t remember me’. though she thinks those words, they never leave her lips. she’s grown used to the idea that not all of her friends will know who she is. she’ll just have to make them remember.

[Koromaru leaned into her touch. Just like her scent, the gentle way he pet her was burned into his physical memory. It was in a way that was very similar to his leader, but it had its own distinct style. Yet nothing about it was unfamiliar.]

[He looked up at her to see a pained expression on her face. His ears drooped down as he realized that he was the one making her so sad. He reached up and gave her a sloppy dog kiss.]

“Woof woof!” [He pulled back, a determined look in his eyes. It was confusing and disorienting, not knowing something he should. But he wouldn’t let his ignorance make his friends sad. And while he didn’t remember, this girl definitely felt like a friend. A very important friend.]

“Woof!”

The white dog turned as soon as he heard him approach - seemed like it was a pretty amicable, friendly doggo from the way it had sniffed his extended hand of amicability and licked it and all. Daichi bet that a dog as friendly as this was used to people: so he was willing to bet the owner of it was inside the apartments too.

Kinda weird to think that the sheep had even teleported dogs here, though: given some sheep might be scared of certain animals, he was kinda surprised about that. Okay, best just to stay focused on the matter at hand here though, if he got sidetracked by every errant thought he’d be here all day and not getting any closer to what the dog wanted.

He was sitting right by the door, so….Daichi guessed his suspicion that the dog needed to go in but couldn’t was the right one, and so he opened the door and held it open with one of his usual amicable lop-sided grins. “There ya go, I think that’s what you wanted, right?” 

[As the young man reached for the door, Koromaru’s tail started thumping harder and harder on the steps underneath him. Yes, that’s exactly what he needed!]

[And finally, the door was open! Koromaru barked happily as he dashed in. This was great!]

[He slowed down and looked back at the stranger who helped him out. He couldn’t just leave it like this. He wanted to repay him back somehow. He was a nice boy.]

[Ken was also a nice boy! And they looked like they would get along, maybe? No, definitely! Koromaru ran back up towards the boy and began pacing in front of him. He then started walking towards the elevator, stopped, and looked back.]

“Woof!”

[He waited to see if the young man would follow him.]

“Oii, take your lovers’ quarrel elsewhere,” he called out, casting a pointed glare towards a drunken, arguing couple seated at one of the tables of his bar. The husband, irritated and intoxicated as he was, didn’t take too kindly to the bartender’s warning and instead insisted on exchanging a couple heated words.

After listening to the slew of threats coming out of the man’s mouth, Chuuya couldn’t help but shoot back a cocky smile.  “Beat the crap out of me, you say?” This guy was nothing; he could take him out in under a second. He spread his arms in a shrug, an invitation to try him. “Go on then, since you’re so eager– huh?”

His attention turned towards a new visitor… it was a dog. In his bar. Was it attracted to the commotion? His gaze shifted back to the drunken man and then to the wife nearby him, who both seemed startled by the dog’s barking. And surely enough, after cursing at him and tossing an insult at the dog, the couple had retreated.

That ended… faster than he anticipated. Were they scared of dogs? Chuuya looked down at the unexpected visitor. He had to give it some credit for taking care of that dispute, as sudden and unwarranted as it was. He bent down to get a better look at the dog. “Did you get loose?”

[Koromaru growled at the couple causing the commotion. He only needed to watch for a moment to get an idea of what was happening. He barked at them again as they left, just to make sure they wouldn’t stick around. He didn’t want to hurt them if possible.]

[That was a job well done. Koromaru was getting used to this whole guard thing. It wasn’t Shadow hunting, but it still helped!]

[He sat down in front of the man, showing him that he was no threat to him, as he wasn’t causing trouble.] “Bark bark!” [He was most definitely not lost! He was trying to do his job as a guard dog! He protected this building from bad people, just like a good guard dog should!]

She didn’t expect the dog to jump at her, ram her maybe, shove her aside. Aru didn’t know what to do and even if she did she didn’t have the reaction time to properly do it anyway.

Aru had only managed to extend her arms out slightly by reflex when the dog’s front legs collided with her chest, causing her to lose her balance and topple down onto the grass. Her hands were able to nonetheless clamp down on the dog, holding him in place while the sheep scurried away.

Starring the dog down, not knowing what he’d do, she gripped herself for anything. He seemed friendly enough, maybe she could communicate? “H…hey! Please don’t chase the sheep, alright?” It was worth a shot!

[Koromaru sniffed at the girl curiously. Now that he’d stopped running, his adrenaline was dying out and he could think slightly more clearly. She smelled of city, a smell Koromaru was quite used to. But he couldn’t sense ill will from her at all.]

[Which was great! They could go back to playi—]

[Or not.]

“Aroo?” [He tilted his head to one side. He was playing with the sheep, and the sheep was playing with him! That’s what was happening. There was no ill will, as far as he could tell. Did she just not understand that?]

Atsuki smiled just a bit. “Guess I meet your standards, huh?” He reached out and gently scratched Koromaru behind the ears. “You remind me of another dog I know. Do you make cute faces to get food, too?”

He kind of wished Nami was here. She would like this dog. He wondered how the girl would fare without her ability to talk to animals.

[Koromaru’s eyes shut. He had such a pleasant look on his face while being scratched. His offer of food also sounded wonderful right now. At least it sounded like an offer.]

[But wait, he was on the job! He was meant to protect, as a guard dog!]

“Woof!” [Hmm, but maybe if he protected this person, he’d still be fulfilling his duty. He seemed kind of sad before he had noticed Koromaru...]

“Woof woof!” [Well, that settled it! He’d take care of this man! He circled around him, barking to let him know that he would take him wherever he needed to go safely!]

Feeling a bit awkward after his cowardly nature got the better of him and made him assume stuff that wasn’t true yet again, Daichi managed to somehow make it back to the ‘Hummingbird’ named-hotels which he’d first woken up in this morning at the city: there had been more than enough events happening for one day, he just wanted to take a nap in the apartment and totally forget his nerves.

Though, seeing a white dog sitting outside the apartment made him stop a moment. What was the dog doing? Maybe waiting for someone? Or couldn’t it go inside an apartment room by itself, because the apartment doors didn’t seem to have dog doors from what he noted? Daichi didn’t know, he couldn’t claim to read animals’s minds. (Man, that would be a cool power, though. A lot less dangerous than the whole ‘summoning demons’ prior thing!)

He couldn’t just ignore the puppers, so bent down to hold out a hand to assure he was friendly. “Hey, there! What are you doing out here all by yourself right now, huh?” It was a cute-looking dog! Of course he’d talk to it seriously, like talking to a friend with a problem. Maybe if he was super lucky the dog would let him pet it, that would be amazing.

[What a long day. It would be quite odd to think of dogs having stressful days, but Koromaru felt drained. He’d met very important friends today and that on top of the exercise and everything else made him want to lie down for a very long time.]

[But at the same time, he needed to tell Ken all about his adventures. Did he know the leader was here? He had to ask. Luckily, they lived in the same hotel. Unfortunately, their home had yet to be equipped with easy dog access. Usually, he’d wait for someone to come in or out, and then walk in while the door was open. No one was moving about, probably because of the strange time of day.]

[Koromaru immediately perked up as he heard someone come near from behind. He turned to the young man, tail wagging happily and with a big smile on his face. He sniffed the outstretched hand and licked it.]

“Bark bark!” [Koromaru needed to go inside, to talk to Ken! Ken was his friend. But the door was closed. He looked at the stranger expectantly.]

@minatostyle

[Visiting this place always brought a certain feeling. Nostalgia. Sadness. Something bittersweet.]

[Koromaru looked up at the posters on the walls outside the building, his tail swaying calmly. Back home, he wasn’t allowed in the movie theater. But maybe the Cinderella Cinema was different! There were sheep all around, after all. A sheep was an animal, like a dog! They had to let him in!]

[His gaze caught a certain movie, Wonder Sheep. The sheep in the poster looked quite heroic, almost like a superhero! Superheroes, Koromaru learned, were humans with magic powers that helped others and stopped bad people. Koromaru loved watching people help others, though real stories were more his alley. He’d learned to appreciate them from joining Ken’s TV time, though.]

[He pranced over to the box office.] “Bark bark!”

[...Ah, right, there was still a language barrier.]

today’s sun was really nice. it shined down, warming up her skin and her heart alike. absentmindedly, she stretches her arms high above her head, taking her time to really soak it all up. 

how long had she been here, anyway? it had been so many months, she can hardly believe it anymore. even though this place was nice, she still missed her friends. she’d only been able to find ken (and ryoji-kun), but the rest were no where to be found.

..she hopes they’re all okay, and happy, where ever they are.

she wouldn’t have ever noticed it if she hadn’t stopped her walk to stretch out her body. a soft whine– that of a dog. carmine eyes scan the entire area in disbelief, looking for the owner of that little sound.

and that’s when she spots him.

a loud yell leaves her lips, voice full of disbelief. ❝ koro-chan!? ❞

[Koromaru reacted before she did. The smell is so familiar, he couldn’t help but open his eyes. He stood back up, tail wagging curiously.]

[The smell was familiar, but it wasn’t. But it was.]

[He couldn’t understand, in that moment. It was a smell that he found comforting, one of home and familiarity. Yet at the same time, it brought him a strong sadness, one that rivaled even that of Minato, his leader.]

[Deep within him, he heard Cerberus howl, his voice holding the same type of pain. This was someone important to him, he could tell. But he couldn’t remember.]

[The confusion manifested itself in running around the girl, whining and sniffing at her, trying to confirm something he knew he couldn’t.]

“Awooooo...” [He rested his front legs on her, rubbing his snout into her clothes for some sort of answer. Anything.]

gogglesheroine:

Aru was pleasantly surprised to find so many large patches of grass in the city, a welcome change to the concrete graveyard that composed the majority of cities that she passed through. They were likely for the benefit of the many sheep who lived and worked here in Stella City, sheep wouldn’t be comfortable in a land of stone and dirt.

Speaking of uncomfortable, she could hear the bleats of terror the poor sheep let out as a small white dog chased them. Instinctively, she let out her arm and tried to force a small shockwave out of her body to spook the dog away. Nothing…?

Not letting herself fret on that, Aru then charged between the dog and the sheep, hoping to block the dog with her own body.

[This was fun! Koromaru purposefully ran slower than the sheep, even though he could catch it if he tried hard enough. But this was a chase, and catching them automatically would be no fun!]

[He ran and ran, having the time of his life. Suddenly, however, he noticed someone coming towards him. It was someone he didn’t recognize, but the only conclusion he could make was that she wanted to play as well!]

[Koromaru changed his course to go towards her and, once he was close enough, jumped. His plan had been to merely put his front legs on her, but the excited pup didn’t know his own strength sometimes, so maybe he went too hard. But either way, he was still excited to have a new playmate!] “Bark bark!”

Atsuki liked animals more than he liked people. Maybe because their emotions were more pure and raw and they didn’t hide things like people did. Plus Nami Kamishiro and Melody may have made him even more affectionate to animals than before. So when he spotted a white shiba wandering along on it’s own, he walked over and crouched next to it.

“Hey, little guy. Taking yourself for a walk?” The dog had a collar on so he obviously belonged to someone.

[People loved coming towards Koromaru. And Koromaru loved being around people, so this was great!]

“Woof!” [Koromaru was on the job, actually! He had no actual place to guard, so he’d been guarding the city. It was the only logical conclusion. But this man before him was not scary, nor dangerous, nor acting violently towards others. There was no need to be wary towards him. Koromaru sniffed at him and barked happily.]

[personarf-blog]

@harpedsuns

[Even in this new world, Koromaru never stopped thinking of his friends. He knew of Ken, who he had been staying with for a while before he got his own place. Ken had told him of many others, but he hadn’t found any of them! It was quite unlucky of him.]

[This place was peaceful, though, so he didn’t feel as pressured to find the other members of SEES. He’d still take walks around the city, looking for them. Today, he’d just concluded such a search, once again to no success. This city and the surrounding areas were just too big! He slowly moved next to a park bench and lay on his stomach.]

“Aroo....” [He was pooped! A nice nap in the sun would fix that, though.]

[personarf-blog]

@gogglesheroine

[Even an old and intelligent dog like Koromaru needed to act like a dog sometimes.]

[Not that he ever really restricted himself from acting like a dog, but his time to act more like a regular dog was more plentiful here than back home. And he would take advantage of that as much as he could.]

[It also helped that this place had large patches of grassy areas for him to run about on. Now, he was chasing a sheep. He thought the two were playing a rousing game, but he hadn’t noticed how scared the sheep was just yet. He barked happily, unaware of the sheep’s nervous bleats.]

[personarf-blog]

@sheepsonq

[Despite the location change, Koromaru was taking everything quite well. Years of fighting would harden anyone’s spirit, even a dog’s. Still, he was quite happy with this place. It was much less cramped than the city around the dorm was, and there were all these sheep!]

[Even a peaceful place like this had its problems, though. And that’s where Koromaru would step in and keep the peace as a guard!]

[He walked into an establishment open late at night. He noticed quite a stir coming from inside, and for something to be open this late was quite suspicious. Most of the city’s inhabitants weren’t used to a dog barging in on their drinking time, so he was causing even more of a commotion at this bar than the one he intended to stop.]

“Woof!!” [And he had no clue.]
