Woof!

This is a RP blog for Repede from Tales Of Vesperia. (Part of the IseliaRP group.) M!A STATUS: none at the moment.

He was freezing, but even still, the breeze made him feel more alive than sitting lethargic on a cold brick could, and so Yuri inhaled it deeply and let it fill his lungs before he continued towards the fields outside of town. What appeared quite tragic about this scenario was, it would likely take people forever to realize he was actually deceased - perhaps it would never truly become established. While this was something Yuri had been fighting with for some time, during his internal debate regarding whether or not he should disclose the information, there was not much he could do about it now.

One last wrestle with the creatures prowling the wilds. Yuri would have called it a sufficient end, but he didn’t wish to think in such paths. He wasn’t the kind of person to accept it like that. So rather than waiting for it to happen, why not have some fun, until it would be delivered by other means?

Naturally, Repede would express concern over this, however. As the two of them reached beyond the gates, Yuri stopped to allow it to settle, turning to the friend at his side as he did, patting his nose in response.

“You ready for a tussle?” he asked, neglecting to speak of how he was feeling.

[silentwarriorrepede-blog]

He gave out a light bark as his tail wagged somewhat. 

'Of course! I'm always ready, at your command master Yuri.'   And so they continued to walk towards the great fields were the monsters roamed. They met some smaller things on their walk, but nothing really challenging. The dog let out a light sigh as he scanned the area with his lone eye. He wanted to find a monster worthy master Yuri.

A light morning breeze made his nose tickle and he let out a sudden sneeze. he shook  his head a bit before looking a bit embarrassed back at Yuri.

The compliance in canine’s barking served to offer reassurement, sending Yuri on his feet and stretching out his chilled body to its full length. Arms resting at his side for a bit, swinging back and forth to regain some warmth in his system, he exhaled deeply and reflected for but a moment. He closed his eyes, the breeze picking up as he did, feeling it tug at his hair and attire. This was the moment when he smiled through the fissure in his chest, embracing the impending cold with a fighting spirit.

A man and his dog. This was how it would start, and this was how it would end. There was no reason for anyone to know, for anyone to come looking for him, or for him to spend his last day in their company. Only for a man and his dog, heading out to do what they did best together, until silence took him.

He was ready.

Turning to face his friend, Yuri tapped at his right leg, an indication for Repede to follow, as he made his way through the plaza towards the exit. What better air to be his last, than one sparked with adrenaline?

“Let’s see if there are any friendly creatures out there waiting for us, eh, buddy?”

[silentwarriorrepede-blog]

He gave his master 'Ruff!' in response as he followed him towards the gates of the lower quarters.  The cold breeze ruffled his fur a bit as they got outside the city. he shewed on his pipe, as he turned his eye towards Yuri walking beside him. He could not see his face properly, but he noticed his hand was firmly holding the sword. It is going to happen today. It feels wrong.   *Whine?* He took some fast steps forward as he touched Yuri's hand with his nose.  'Are you feeling alright?'

Obligatory vigilante pose

DON’T MIND THE POSE, I’m just showing off some of the costume since I haven’t really done that. The wig is a bit long and is poorly presented in this shot, so you can’t really see how good it looks. The sash needs to sit that high up because I’m so short that the symbols on the lower part of the tunic get cut off should I place it lower. But eh.

Puppy! (M!A Open)

[swornsistersleftandright]

Droite watched Repede carefully, making sure he wasn’t about to run off. She saw him struggling to reach something under a box.

“You want something under the box?” Droite flipped the box on its side, revealing the pipe.

“That pipe… Where have I seen it before?” Gauche mumbled to herself. She knew there was something familiar about the pipe, but she couldn’t quite place it until Repede picked it up. “Wait, aren’t you Yuri’s dog?”

[silentwarriorrepede-blog]

He turned his little head towards Gauche as he shewed a bit on the almost too big  pipe.  "Weff!" 'I am, are you going to want to fight me not when you have figured it out?"

Bare (M!A Open)

[silentwarriorrepede-blog]

shades-of-orchid:

Thankfully, it was just Repede.

The sigh of utter relief flowing out of Yuri’s system was one he hadn’t anticipated to be quite so overwhelming, possibly panicking more than he had realized over the possibility that someone could have discovered him, no matter how much he’d tried to steel himself for it.

Somewhat flustered, he couldn’t believe he had mistaken the tapping of dog paws as being footsteps, but no matter. The look on the canine’s face seemed to demand an explanation, however, so Yuri felt compelled to speak before Repede would see fit to pounce on him in anger.

“C’mon, don’t look at me like that. I didn’t choose to walk around like this, you know.”

He did choose to leave the remark ‘I’m not the only one who’s naked’ to himself.

The canine scoffed as he turned his head away a bit. 

"Woof! Woof!!" 'Then why would you do his? Even I know you should not walk around like this in public. At home, sure you can go around as you want bit not here! Show some pride!' The dog barked on, not thinking of keeping things too quietly. 

[silentwarriorrepede-blog]

Puppy! (M!A Open)

[shades-of-orchid]

Yuri simply blinked for a moment, leaning further down. Really scanning out every feature of the little puppy before him. And then he realized it, amusement snaking into his shocked expression.

“Hang on… It really is you, isn’t it? Repede, you’re… small.”

He didn’t know whether to just keep staring in disbelief, or to laugh right into the little canine’s face, but both were equally tempting.

[silentwarriorrepede-blog]

The little dog scoffed, he heard the hint of a laugh in his master's voice. All this was hard to believe for him too.  'I have noticed that pretty well, you don't need to rub it in.' 'I have no clue how I turned to this, it is pretty... embarrassing.' It really was a strange feeling he had to admit, being a puppy again. Everything looked so very much bigger than usual.

Even had it not been apparent, Yuri supposed there was no fooling his old friend. Through the canine’s observations and instincts, clearly he knew something was happening. Whether he could fathom the weight or not, was not for Yuri to speculate. He only regretted that he, too, would be forced to leave too soon. Much like Lambert.

He almost allowed a chuckle. He couldn’t believe a dog would outlive him.

Getting up from the spot he had been warming for some time now, Yuri stretched, a smile masking the utter turbulence in his chest.

“How ‘bout one last trip until the next sunset? What do you say?”

[silentwarriorrepede-blog]

Repede followed Yuri's movements silently with his lone eye.  Something would happen today... or in a near future. He could feel it in his body, and it was not a good feeling, something that crawled in the canine's skin. Yuri did smile as he spoke, but his eyes was saying something different. Something that made it tighten in the scarred dog's chest.  'A 'last' trip huh?...'    For moment he sat totally still, maybe if he hoped the time would stopped if they just stayed were they were.

'... what a silly thought, of course time would not stand still just because I wish so. If so master would have stopped the time long ago.' He stood up as he faced Yuri again. 'Let's go and make the best out of this day, I will be right by your side.' "Woof! Woof!"

This is my story.

While this is my second experience in a fandom, having been involved in the community of another one earlier in 2012, this was the one I’d tried getting a foot in for years. I know, as long as you like it, you’re considered part of a fandom, but it was the community I wanted to be a part of. I wanted to talk about our shared interests, make friends, do things together, have fun.

I never had any friends.

Coming from a life of abuse at home, and abuse in school, I don’t trust anyone. I keep a positive spirit, I get things done, and I help and inspire as much as I can, because I never had that. Surviving, something so basic as breathing, was hard, and I had to do it on my own. I was viewed as pitiful, useless and retarded for my autism at home, constantly mocked and belittled and every abuse contributing to the anxiety and self-loathing. Together with the promises of trust followed by back-stabbing by back-stabbing, it made me so closed off I barely trusted myself.

School was neither worse, nor better. Kindergarten to high school was the same. Middle school/junior high, whatever you call it in your country, was a place for physical beatings and shame. Rage and trying to end it in public, in the school cafeteria, to see if someone would bat an eyelash. They didn’t. I wish I exaggerated. Then I truly tried by my lonesome, but I didn’t.

There were things I enjoyed. Writing stories and drawing, playing games. Dreaming. The screaming in that house could never diminish it, only make me dream more, ache more for the day when I would reach a goal. I was bad at everything. So I picked up things you can practice on your own. Singing, drawing, writing… things like that. I kept doing it, and I did good. Bit by bit, I got better. But my life didn’t.

While the Internet helped, and I had gained some acquaintances through it, I never had the experience of a group of friends having fun like I observed at school. I’ve never known the comfort of having someone close to where you live whom you could just walk over and talk to.

I made more friends. Then there was one who ended his life. I dared not get close anymore. I still don’t, but I slowly get better. I get struck by this intense fear and distance myself, push people away, give them reasons to leave before I get too attached. Because I only see what I’ve been told all my life: good for nothing, ugly, disgusting, pitiful, useless. And then when it turns out this is not how people here see me, it’s a difficult thing to adapt to.

I got out of that house in spring 2012.

And now, I’ve experienced such an amazing sense of camaraderie in this community. I’m surrounded by such fantastic people who would acknowledge me and enjoy what I do, as well as consider me a part of their lives, even. I get to be a part of something I’d missed, I get to be important to someone. I just can’t express it. I’m tearing up as I speak.

I’m not sure why I wanted to confess this here. I just wanted to share this, I wanted to give. To get people to understand just how intensely I do appreciate every single one of you. How you save my life everyday for allowing me to keep this positive aura, and capability of understanding that I have somehow received despite the massive negative influence. How I am not above anyone, and if anything, I’m the one who clings for companionship. I never had a family, so friends are my true family. I don’t consider them people to go to for entertainment, I consider them kin. I would give up my life for my kin.

I don’t want to be pitied. That is not the purpose of this confession. I just want to let you know, that I am just like anyone out there. I started at the lowest of lows and I worked my way up. I now work as an illustrator and comic artist, and I get to interact with such amazing people I am so eternally grateful to be able to call friends. I did it.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Yuri composed the energy required to give his head a turn, regarding the canine’s presence with a slight smile. He supposed with the sun resuming its towering over their lives, his would come to and end side by side with the only one who ever understood him. Even still, he had never once voiced this to anyone, not even Repede. Doing so would only have made it far more real, and his mind had already worked for far too long trying to find a solution to the impending reality for all this time.

He exhaled, reached out a hand to ruffle his blue-coated friend’s fur between the ears, as his smile softened to some extent and he closed his eyes with a spirit exuding a contented breath.

“Guess it’s you and me until the end, huh, buddy?” he spoke, barely audibly.

[silentwarriorrepede-blog]

He gave out a low 'ruff' as an answer as he sat down, still having his head in Yuri's lap.  He had a hint of what was going on, somehow he just knew... at least a little. As his young master ruffled his fur his tail wagged even more, then at a thought it slowed down a bit.  'This will be the last time...won't it?' His ears moved a bit at the confusing thought that had hit him. It couldn't, could it? His master was always here, always. It could not... he would not disappear, right? Not totally, ... right? A sigh that was a mixed with a confused wine came from the canine as he turned his eye towards his master.  

[shades-of-orchid]

✝ Curtains down (M!A Open)

A cold morning crept up on the lower quarter of Zaphias, as the sun made its cautious appearance, caressing the city with its limbs. A young vigilante had been kept up long, anticipating its arrival where he sat by empty stairs, watching a street not quite awoken.

Why bother, he had told himself. Why keep the focus on such a distant notion? By that time, surely people would be thrilled to be rid of him. For all the trouble he had stirred, for all the responsibilities he had weighed onto himself, for the isolation and distancing of his inner being in regards to everyone around him. Indeed, there was no need to tell of the impending deterioration known to him for all this time.

For he had known.

The only problem was, there had been an increasing number of reasons as to why Yuri should let people know what was going on. He hadn’t realized just how content he had been being by his lonesome, having ghosts of the past as well as the friend he saw in Repede accompany him. No. Perhaps what he hadn’t realized was how he hadn’t been content. Comfortable. Not content. The camaraderie and trust he shared with the definite weak spots of his life had intensified the emotion brought on by this sickening fact. The fact that Yuri was going to die long before the others. Always had it been prodding at the back of his head, ‘not now’ he had forced onto it, ‘this isn’t the time’ he had assured.

But the immense threat to this world was no more. When was ever the time? Where had it gone, reminding the beckoning of his demise that tomorrow it would be over. Tomorrow.

… Tomorrow.

Should he simply lay here, vanish, no one would be the wiser as to what had occurred. Should he choose to close his eyes and pretend to breathe forever, in a world that wished to say its goodbyes to the figure who had saved it, should he place a relaxed smile on an ivory-graced face and sing his praise to the people who had made everything worthwhile, should he—

Yuri bit down, drawing a sharp breath through his teeth, his eyelids pinched down so hard it contributed to the onslaught of quivering, attempting to prevent what lay behind those eyes of casual determination before it would explode throughout his entire system and render him useless. But he had been at peace. He had been at peace! He had been aware, he would shrug and acknowledge what needed to happen and perhaps even deem it an illusion for as long as he chose to be alive. He had been content.

Or perhaps he hadn’t realized until now…

… that he wasn’t.

[silentwarriorrepede-blog]

He watched his master for a while now. He had seen Yuri this down before, he new that bad things was on his master's mind, that now and then he had gotten a certain look in his eyes. But this was different. There was something else in the young man's eyes he had never seen before. This was something that worried the canine greatly. Something about this was horribly wrong. He walked up to him and put his head lightly in his lap as he turned his lone eye to the young man. He gave out a low, wondering wine as he wagged his tail a little.
