Man's best friend is a monster's worst enemy

Described as fierce yet compassionate, Repede know's that, even if he doesn't have to like certain people, he has to protect them. He made that silent promise as soon as he met Yuri Lowell and Flynn Scifo.

outofcharacter. I apologize for this --I needed to get it off my chest and I've not got a personal blog (or rather, I can't remember the password).

I've just spent literally hours worrying over my friend. She called me 6 times whilst I was unable to answer my phone, and when I tried to contact her she wouldn't answer. I was so super worried, because she also texted me to ask if she could have a place to stay tonight. I thought the worse, that she was getting kicked out, or her flatmates were bullying her. 

I was unable to tell what had happened or the importance of the situation because she's not been my friend for a long time, you see. She's from America, I'm from England. We met on another old RP blog of mine and she flew over to England for her studies, so we've been hanging out.

I began going frantic. I couldn't invite her over to my place because I'm in temporary lodgings with my mother, and she dislikes company. So I was looking for last-minute hotels for her until we could sort something out, a theatre show to help her calm down from whatever had been happening, a good restaurant, etc. I was prepared to spend £500 on whatever she needed, which meant dipping a little into my savings.

It turns out, nothing was the problem. She just wanted to invite herself to my place on a whim. Not that I have any problem with that, but my heart is racing from thinking the worse.

My problem is, that throughout my time here on Tumblr, I've been helping people as a priority. Previous RP blogs that I had invested a lot of time into, and gained 1,500-2,000 followers on became help blogs for the depressed and suicidal, and it's been my job to talk people down off the edge. I love helping people, so that's never a problem. But good friends have told me that I do too much for them, so much so that it compromises my own health and I become suicidal and depressed, and because of it, I've now been diagnosed with a mental illness. I can't help it though, if I see someone in need of help, despite how I feel, I've got to give it my all to do what I can.

And that's why I thought the worse. So this whole ordeal I guess is my fault? For jumping to conclusions? I don't know..

Flynn smiled as the faithful companion jumped back and drew his knife. Always eager to get into a little scuffle, but it was something that Flynn liked about Repede the most. Even if it seemed to get more rowdy because of Yuri. He nodded. The people outside may thought of this as strange: the Commandant playing with a dog, but he’d ignore it. He wanted to see the things that Repede had learned, presumably from Yuri himself. He pulled his shield to his front and held it tightly.

“Alright, you’re on! Give me all you got!”

[sinfulsidekick-blog]

In Repede's perception, there was only him and Flynn now. Nevermind the townspeople, or the other dogs and cats. Momentarily even the monsters were cast out of his mind. It was just like his puppy days from before he and Yuri left the Knights, and the canine knew that he'd gotten stronger since their last scuffle. Of course, Flynn had too --you only had to look at the now commandant to know that, so Repede would give it his all.

The blade clenched tightly between his teeth, the canine hurled towards Flynn at a speed that startled even himself before he tried out one of his artes first. Kicking off from his front paws, Repede got to attacking-distace before performing his Light Spear, hoping to knock Flynn off the defensive. 

The hound was still a little on the defensive too though, in case it hadn't worked. Flynn must have got a lot more battle adept, so he was just testing the waters.

[steadfastxvigilante]

“Heh,” he grinned, crouching down to rest a hand on his partner’s head. All he really needed was an affirmative bark to understand. Sure, he couldn’t exactly translate what Repede was saying word per word, but they had a certain bond that didn’t need a silly barrier like language problems.

Noticing the way the canine’s gaze darted all over, Yuri raised a brow, but thought nothing of it when Repede started to relax.

“You hungry? I’m craving for something heavy right now.”

[sinfulsidekick-blog]

Standing from his haunches, Repede gave an enthusiastic howl before spinning around once in impatience. The canine had been eating the standard dog food recently, and whilst he didn't mind so much, he was a dog of refined taste --and Yuri's cooking had gotten better since their journey together.

Repede made his way to his partner's side, it was the place he felt most comfortable, after all. And he waited for Yuri to lead the way.

misfortune follows the clutzy (open)

Paperwork. She never seemed to have enough of it. Or, at least, that’s what the world seemed to think. It didn’t even matter where she was, either. So long as it was possible for her to receive it, sure enough, it would find her.

Sheena supposed her only saving grace was that the paperwork currently in her arms didn’t entirely require her perusal. A good chunk of it was supposed to be taken half way across the world to Palmacosta, however, so one way or another the summoner was going to be stuck with the complicated collection of papers for awhile.

She could just barely contain her excitement.

Exhaling sharply, the ninja glanced down at the stack of documents and mindlessly ran her thumb through a small handful, eyebrows narrowing in confusion as loopy handwriting blurred into a odd jumble of words. She had long since become accustomed to reading the language commonly used outside of Mizuho, but sometimes just looking at it gave her a headache. Mizuhoan simply made more sense to her. It could be very artistic, but not unnecessarily so. Most of the stuff written on these papers was just too… over the top.

Still, what was necessary was that they were to be delivered in a timely fashion to Governor-General Neil and, as the emissary of peace, it was required for Sheena to take them to him.

That is, if she didn’t lose them all before she got there.

There was a split second where Sheena processed what was about to happen before she collided with an oncoming shoulder, though the only thing that went through her mind before it actually happened.

‘Oh crap.’

“Ack—!”

Like over sized confetti the papers went spiraling every which way into the air as they slide out of the summoner’s grasp. With an agonized ‘Augh!’ Sheena looked over her shoulder to give the rude offender a piece of her mind before realizing that she’d only be wasting time. They were now probably long lost in the crowd of people roaming up and down the streets of Meltokio. Great.

“Excuse me. I’m sorry, I need to get through. Excuse me…” Picking her way through the crowd, Sheena scrambled to try and collect the papers haphazardly strewn across the ground, seething under her breath as she did so. Damn her luck. Damn these inconsiderate stuck ups. Damn all this paperwork!

[sinfulsidekick-blog]

Brave Vesperia had been trawling all over the place it seemed. They had helped miners avoid monsters, and escorted people through dangerous forests. Being part of a guild was far different from anything Repede had ever done --those days in Zaphias before everything started costed much less energy than what had come to pass. Though if there was anything the canine loved more, it was helping people. Not that he'd openly show it, of course.

The guild had stopped by a town on one of their seldom days off known as Meltokio. It seemed everyone needed something these days now the barriers were no longer there, and it seemed Brave Vesperia was one of the first points of call for them. Not that anyone within their party was complaining --Karol reveled in it, at least.

They all stopped by the inn to get some rest, Repede bringing up the rear of the group before stopping just outside, looking up at a sign. 

"No Dogs Allowed."

That was a circumstance he had become accustomed to with all the moving they had been doing. Not that he was going to rest just yet anyway --not when he hadn't performed a sweep of the nearby area to ensure that monsters were not going to catch the town off guard. 

The canine paroled the immediate area, and just a little outward too. It was better to be safe then sorry, and Repede wouldn't sleep if he knew there was danger nearby anyway. Upon seeing a figure in the distance, the hound crouched low to the ground. The scent was unfamiliar, and he couldn't quite pinpoint exactly what it was, but it made him uneasy. That much he knew. And with a snarl, Repede charged in the direction of the shadowed figure.

Of course, he had been so preoccupied with this potential threat that he didn't see the woman just affront him, and soon he was amidst a flurry of paper --and it seemed important. There was little time to waste though, as Repede was prepared to navigate his way through the oncoming crowds this time, and as he turned to do so, the scent had all but gone, and the shadow was nowhere in sight.

Repede would have to warn Yuri and Judith and Karol of what had come to pass after they had finished resting, and until that time, he would have to keep the town safe from whatever threat this was. For now, the canine turned back and began assisting the woman he knocked into. It was a little easier for him, as he could navigate under the feet of the people rather nimbly --the only thing he was careful of, was to not puncture the paper with his teeth.

When he had gathered what paper he could see, he ran to the distinctively clothed woman and sat on his haunches, offering her the paperwork.

outofcharacter. Okay, that's all I have time for, folks! Replies when I get back to the glory that is my dash at the moment.

Seriously, you guys are great. Just great.

“Ohhh, I get it,” he nodded his head and pet his canine friend by leaning down. The Knights were standing nearby for more training commands. He stood back up and looked at them. “That’s enough for the day, Knights. Relax. You’ve earned it.”

No one was going to reprimand Flynn for taking a single day off.

“I hope you haven’t been out here too long. It’s hot… Yuri should know that….”

[sinfulsidekick-blog]

Repede watched all of the Knights disband from Flynn's authority, eyes following each one before they were at a reasonable distance before his attentions were directed back to the commandant. Communicating with anything that didn't have four legs was a little difficult, but Flynn understood him more than most did, and he was confident in explaining how he was going to keep watch outside anyway. Repede would do so in most temperatures unless they matched the heats in the Sands of Kogorh.

With another bark, Repede gained a little distance and drew his blade, eager to show Flynn the new things he had learned, and to maybe learn more from him.

After all, Flynn was his master too.

“Hey, Repede. Back from a walk? Hopefully you didn’t run into some troublesome kids wanting to pull on your fur or something.”

Or maybe a troublesome Estelle trying to pet him against his will. No harm in speculating.

[sinfulsidekick-blog]

"Woof woof!"

Repede stretched a little before giving a shake. Luckily, there were no little kids, and there were no people pulling at his tail or trying to pet him. There was this cat though --and who knew the felines outside of Zaphias could be so pesky.

The canine looked around for the thing, but it appeared to have scampered for now.

[crisisrain]

” Hey there! , I wasn’t expectin’ ta see ya here” He winked ” Don’t tell anyone that I was here , The Ol’ Raven is doing some delivery jobs fer Alstok” He chuckled and stood up stretching his arms.” So I guess Yuri an’ the others are around here” He said as  he pat Repede’s head.

[sinfulsidekick-blog]

Of course. The old man was being sneaky again. There was nothing of any surprise in that, from their journey, perhaps everyone in the party knew that Raven would just come and go as he pleased --an enigma wrapped in a mystery wrapped in a purple coat. A bark affirmed Raven's thoughts as he sat affront him. 

Well, there was nothing else to do whilst Karol, Judith and Yuri needed to rest.

“Repede…? What are you doing around here? And where’s Yuri…?”

[sinfulsidekick-blog]

Repede barked his joy at seeing Flynn again --almost jumping up uncharacteristically at the Knight in a playful way before sitting back on his haunches. Another bark, and a head-signal in the direction of a nearby inn attempted to communicate where Yuri was.

'No dogs allowed'. He was used to that by now.

Man's Best Friend || Yuri and Repede.

[sinfulsidekick-blog]

steadfastxvigilante:

The tuneful chirping of the birds told Yuri it was morning, but all he saw was darkness flooding his vision. It didn’t matter that the warmth of the sun invaded his room, the sound of unfolding windows and opening doors as children fluxed excitedly from the confines of their respectable homes, eager to start the day with a game. A few muffled yawns could be heard from the distance. Such things only served to strip a certain vigilante of his desire to tear himself away from the comfort of his mattress, until a sudden poke at the side forced him awake.

He didn’t move at first, only prying his eyelids open to reveal a pair of sable eyes darting across the room; a rather blatant howl eventually drew his gaze to the four-legged individual waiting at the side of his bed.

“Okay, I’m up, I’m…” cried the male, followed by a yawn that formed a large ‘O’ on his mouth, arguably almost the size of his fist. He tried to push himself off the bed, managing a meager three inches gap for a few seconds until a sudden flop was heard, and down he went.

“…five more minutes…”

Pillow held captive in his arms, Yuri allowed sleep to take over for a second time.

The canine shuffled back on his haunches a little, giving a bit of room in the hope that Yuri would use it hen he rose out of bed. However that area remained mostly unmanned as the somewhat meager movement amounted to nothing. But Repede wasn't taking 'no' for an answer. Unless there was something poignant happening, his master was a real pain to get moving --but the dog was nothing if not stubborn. He'd get Yuri to move alright.

Repede leaped on the bed, more nimbly that his character allowed expectation, and without laying a paw on his best friend. Of course, he would have expected him to feel the tug of the sheets and the little bit of extra weight pushing into the soft mattress --but that wasn't enough to rouse him, Repede supposed. Not if his earlier attempts didn't.

The hound sat on whatever space of the bed he could find purchase on before remembering a good tactic he used once in the past that seemed to work most efficiently. Making sure his pipe was secured in his teeth, Repede bared shark-like teeth before 'gently nipping' at Yuri's hand before sitting back in an upright position in expectation of triumph.

outofcharacter. I'd like to apologize for my lack of activity recently. I've been caught up in some messy, personal family affair where my niece was kidnapped and held hostage. I've been nursing her better after the incident and she's mostly fine now, but I'm so drained that I won't be exceptionally present. I do hope I can be granted forgiveness for this.

sinfulsidekick started following you

Sitting on the floor , looking at the sky was an Old man dreaming about the future …or his lunch. He was not used to think about the future. He then hear the sound of a familiar Canine.

” Hey there Pooch!”

[sinfulsidekick-blog]

There was a scent not too far off --one that could be instantaneously recognized (and perhaps, not in a good way) as the Old Man's, Raven. The canine had yet to decide whether he liked Raven or not. True enough, there was a certain distaste to him, yet when they both teamed up on the women of their party, they made a great team.

Yet for now, Repede could settle with a civil bark of 'hello', before looking around the area. Raven would pop up in all sorts of places unexpectedly, and he wondered what brough the Old Man here.

[lieutenantatomais]

Patrols?

[sinfulsidekick-blog]

  ‘The great’?

Yep, definitely in affiliation with that shady old man. Repede couldn’t help but huff a small sigh, only just refraining from rolling his eyes at the overdramatic introduction. At least he wasn’t seen as an enemy —that was always a plus in meeting new people.

Well, new might not be the right word here.

Repede barked his own introductions (not that the kid would understand a word of it —but still, it was civil) before yawning loudly and checking back to see how far away he was from the inn. He was going to tail this guy so long as it didn’t take him too far away from Yuri.

[lieutenantatomais]

” Mh? Are ya wating fer yer owner?” He blinked ” Hope he don’t mind a Knight talking with his pet”.

[sinfulsidekick-blog]

Now that was a question. Would Yuri mind if he was talking to a Knight? It remained to be seen if this guy posed as an enemy to their party, though he seemed like a nice enough individual; perhaps a little too nice for his occupation, but nothing sets you on a straight and narrow like the Knights did. Repede knew that. 

If he was an enemy, maybe this would be a good way to change the tides in their favour anyway, and with another few barks, Repede stood directly behind the young soldier --prepared to follow him to wherever he was going. He'd return to Yuri within a few minutes, but if he could gather more intel on the area, the better.
