This thread doesn't count anymore. One character went inactive and the other was remade.

[Koda]

Koda sighed. The day was gloomy and depressing, but most of all boring. Clouds hung low and touched the ground, which probably was attracting all kinds of rabbit out in the forests. And what was Koda doing? Sitting inside lazily, like the loner she is. Her sister played the flute. It was peaceful. It calmed Koda. Koda sat on the single twin bed, lickig her black frog laws and listening to her sisters music. It was soothing for now, but if it got out of hand Koda would surely put an end to it. This day was full of nothing. Very boring. Once again, Koda let out a loud sigh. Looking the her sister, she let out a loud yip to tell her that Koda was there. Maybe I Koda couldn't think if something, Jolie could. Jolie was always a bright thinker. Koda smiled. Her sister, smart. Koda felt proud of having such a good sister. She was protective and supportive.

[Jolie]

She had been playing for a while now, her whole body felt better. She needed to keep going, keep playing, but when her sister made a funny noise, Jolie was so into the music that she had mistaken it for a noise of maybe hostility, or alertness. It caused Jolie's hands to slip even more than they first had, and if she didn't have the reflects she did, her flute may have just hit the floor. Jolie's head raised, and she looked to her sister, her eyes narrowing in confusion. It took her a moment to realize, Koda was just trying to get Jolie's attention... or, at least, that's what Jolie took it for in the end. It seemed, from the look in Koda's eyes, she had not noticed Jolie's tears, and was bored. At least she did not appear as scared as Jolie felt. Or maybe that was because she was younger, and she did not quite realize what her older sister had gotten them into. Jolie sighed, taking off her jacket, and putting it on the ground, placing her flute inside, and wrapping it up. She took off her shoes, placed them in the old corner, and put them gently on top of her jacket. She took off the rest of her clothes, too, her dress sort of difficult to remove.

She put all of the clothing in a pile, and looked over to Koda. She thought for a moment, an then her eyes adverted to where her sister's clothes lay, all over the floor. She walked around, gathered all of her sibling's clothes, and then put it gently over hers. After she made the pile neater than it already was, she stooped in front of the Kelvic fox, put her hands gently on her shoulders, and said, "Let's go walk around a little bit, shall we?" she stood up, more stiffly now, backed up a little bit, and changed. Comparing herself in size to the smaller animal, she felt quite large. She grinned at her sister. Or, well, what would have been a grin. You couldn't really tell, the mouth was open slightly, the lips were pulled back, and her nose was slightly crinkled. When she realized this wasn't exactly a pleasant sight for the younger Kelvic, she closed her mouth, and walked outside the house. She waited until her sister was out, too, and then clumsily got on her hind legs, fore paws on the door, and struggled to pull it closed. But, she did. She did not want her things stolen, and she knew quite well that opening it would be much easier than getting it closed. Her tongue skimmed her teeth, the strange taste bugging her nerves slightly.

[Koda]

Koda closed her eyes for a bit, and hummed. She had seen other people doing this in the streets, and they seemed so peaceful and relaxed. And the moisture in the air was enough to make her sweat, but unfortunately Koda didn't have sweat glands. So instead, her tongue went in and out of her open mouth repeatedly, which couldn't let her concentrate. Koda sneezed, which opened her eyes all together. She saw that her big sister was leaving, so hopped off the bed and scrambled over to her, smiling as she walked out. She hurled herself onto the path, and went into a odd position. Her butt was in the air, and her front was low to the ground. Shaking her hind, she smiled, waiting to see what would come next. "Where are we going Jolie?"

[Jolie]

She back up, shaking her head, and then took a minute to look over at her sibling. Her lips were chapped- even as a hyena, and so she licked her lips- which, on the downside, really did not give any positive effect. It just made them crack, more, until they stung. She sighed, and then shrugged. "I don't know," she wanted to say. She hadn't had any place in particular, in mind. So when her sister asked where they were headed, she didn't have an immediate response. She looked around, and then forced out a clear response- easily, she could have mumbled, or said it in a way to where Koda would have asked her to repeat mutltiple times- "Let's just look around first, yeah?" she turned and started to walk, her paws nearly dragging. She instantly started to pick them up, but with the tiredness she felt at that moment, it was hard work.

It did not take very long- but just a few minutes- for Jolie to feel quite awkward at seeing all of these people. She did mumble this time, but loud enough to hear- as if every person she saw would understand her- "Don't make eye contact with any of them, Koda. There were so many options about what the people thought about them, but many of the thoughts were just about what they thought of Koda. They could think she was just an animal, a real one, wondering about aimlessly. Or they could know-think- she's a Kelvic, and still leave her alone. But, either way, they could want to kill her, too... "Don't make eye contact with any of them," she repeated. "Even if they look nice. Even if they look like they won't hurt you. Do you understand?" her voice was stern, now. Some of these people were scary. And if Jolie could classify them as scary, she knew her sister would, too- more so than Jolie.

[Koda]

Koda's eyes glittered with playfulness, but her sister's did not. Koda stopped in sadness as Jolie moved on into the streets, apparently sad. This made Koda sad too. What was wrong? After putting herself back into normal position, Koda silently followed Jolie, being very obedient in hopes it would make Jolie feel better. She sounded okay, but judging on how she acted, Jolie was depressed. Koda felt sorry for her sister. She must be under so much pressure, watching Koda and all. There must be no time to play. Koda perked her ears up, hoping to catch some noise of an animal. Her stomach growled with hunger, and food was not easy to find. There's always something available though. Jolie told Koda of the strangers in The Spires, and Koda wasn't one to object. The people here, they came from all over. They ranged from Syliran Knights to Ethaefal, and everywhere in between. Koda could of sworn she had even seen a Zith once. Koda walked through the streets, and just nodded in response to Jolie. She didn't feel like talking. Actually, it was because Koda was afraid that if she talked, Jolie would get even more upset.

[Jolie]

Jolie continued walking, and didn't want to stop when she heard her sister's stomach growl. She knew it was her sister, Koda. If it had been anyone else, she probably would have laughed bitterly at their inability to catch themselves something to eat, but, she couldn't just let her sister's hunger go unnoticed. "Ehem..." she mumbled, not caring if Koda had heard her or not... "On a scale of one to ten," she began, pausing a moment for her sister to recall the only thing either of them had really done that was enlightening(which was learning to count from one to ten), and then she continued. "How hungry are you, Koda?"

If her sister said six to ten, she would immediately go from walking, to hunting for her. If she said one to five, she would still have to go hunting, soon, but she could linger back a little while and let both herself and her sister get a good observant look at the Spires before settling into their new home. Everywhere she looked, she saw creatures of varying races, and it sort of saddened her to see their sadness, too... she looked back at her sister. "Come on," she mumbled, still waiting for the response that would decide their next actions.

[Koda]

Koda, still walking by her sister, forgot that her hunger still lingered. She was too busy staring at the different people. Comletely forgetting her sister's commands either, she stared them down in the eye. She finally snapped out of it when Jolie talked again. "5" she said. Her hunger wasn't too bad, it wasn't very little either. She knew they would go hunting soon, so she could wait until then. oocSorry for the short post. This is kind of a last minute post, I have to go to my boyfriend's house soon.

[Jolie]

She'd peeked back, and saw her sister's gaze flickering from eyes to eyes. "Koda," she snapped. "Stop looking them in the eye," she said firmly. "They're going to come at us, one of them, eventually." she waited a moment, letting that part sink in. Then she started talking again, and added, "If you continue looking them right on." her neck fur, and the rest of her mane, started raising and bristling. For only one reason though- a human shape was glaring at her. Her lips curled back, and her tail raised. Her whole mane was up, now, and it seemed like she had magically grown double the size she already was. She snarled, her brows narrowing. She seemed to be spitting... the human looked both taken aback, and as though they had expected some sort of retaliation... just not.. this.

She settled down- she had to force it- and she shook her head, then fore body, then her hindquarters, so her mane went down. She blinked now, and said in a monotone, "Let's go hunting." and she turned, and walked out of the main town.

[Koda]

Koda's eyes flickered with happiness as she walked with her sister, proud to be related to someone so strong. A hyena is something to be proud about. Koda puffed her chest out, and raised her hackles to try and look like her sister. But she ended up looking like an idiot, so she eventually stopped. Koda followed Jolie out of the town, and into the wild. They passed all kinds of trees, and wild animals, such as squirrels. Eventually, they reached a wide, large, lake that shined under the sunlight. Koda squealed, and without thinking, jumped right in. She splashed around, sitting on her butt and using her paws to flail the water around. It was fun and entertaining. She looked at Jolie, and with a wave of her paw, it asked her to come in.
