Neko: a change in looks

As it is been a while since I posted, after my previous post, I have long been twiddling and procrastination (which in some parts is still ongoing *grins*, I finally decided to take the plunge. As I pointed out, I have long been fascinated by neko’s and I guess I am gonna reveal slightly what one of the main reasons is.

Quite a while ago, I had a dream one night about me, Thalia. As usual with dreams that I remember, the detail was quite vivid and I decided to write the dream down. While going through the motions the next couple of the day, I would get flashes of other parts of the dream or ideas that would continue or elaborate on parts of the dream. Each time I grabbed whatever was near and wrote it down as precise as I could.

((To explain this a bit better, I am only an average writer and the two stories I have written (one is ‘bedtime’ and published here). The other cuffed is about 80% complete and will hopefully soon done as well. This is the first time I actually have altered my writing style different to what I am used to.))

Anyway, to cut a long story short, Thalia and I found ourselves once again on Temenos Island. After looking around and me, doing my usual ooh-ing and aah-ing over what to choose, I finally choose the Voodoo ears and tail. A big thanks for Thalia for being ultimately patient with me and encouraging me and for being so supporting *smiles*. (b! she’ll know what I mean *grins*). I also spend some of my money on a very nice combination of a sweater (either turtleneck or v-neck) and short pleaded skirt, as you can see in the pictures below.

I came however to a couple of decision/conclusions. For one, even though I do like the spots on the ivory leopard skin, I can’t sadly afford the skin and more important as october hush pointed out, it makes you look like everyone else, and frankly I kinda like and got used to the way I look. So I am probably gonna take up her suggestion and go and have a look at ’spots’ for my normal skin.

I know several people have already seen me wandering around and thank you all for the kind and sweet words. Those that matter to me most (and y’all should know who you are, although I don’t speak with some of you as much I would love to) have all been wonderful about it. Thank you *smiles*

Right: At home, showing off and getting used to my cute new ears.

I am also going to break another one of my traditions and publish the three excerpts from my new story. Some people (two or three) have already read this. Anyway, although I am rather nervous about publishing unfinished work, I hope you enjoy reading some of what I have written:

Scene #1 (Home, Nighttime)

Looking surprised, Thalia managed to push the doors open and stepped into the cool night air. “Lex?” she asked hesitantly and stepped towards the two deck chairs. A hiss from the corner made her stop dead in her tracks. A broken voice, sounding very familiar yet so different came from the corner. “s ..st..stay there”, the voice broke in a sob. Carefully Thalia moved to the side of the balcony, trying to get a better view of the situation. “D.don’t .. don’t look at me” that strange voice pleaded out of the darkness

Scene #2 (undisclosed location, time – unknown)

Turning the next corner, she realized her fatal mistake trying to gather enough speed to make the jump onto the high wall, before her. Her strength had left her and she missed the edge by a fair bit as she slammed, then slid down the wall and onto the ground. She gathered what was left of her strength and stumbled onto her knees.

The sneering laughs of the men as they rounded the corner, chilled her to the bones. “oh gods”, she thought and closed her eyes, surrendering herself to whatever was going to happen to her. But it never came. Gathering all her strength, she forced her eyes open and slightly upwards, and saw nothing, .. the ally way was empty. There was no sound, except the wind.

Scene #3 (AubreTEC store, midday)

“you sure that you want those? I have some other stuff that might be … “. His voice trailed off, as he heard a low growl come over the counter. When he looked up he noted how her eyes had slithed, and her muscles were tensing. Her hand that was resting on the counter, suddenly had sprang a set of sharp looking claws. She started to raise her claw with a ferocious snarl when suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder and a soft voice spoke over her head: “Just give them to her, she’ll might need them.

She looked up, already her senses had told her who it was, and her nerves calmed slightly. She tilted her head sideways, softly running her cheek over the sleek fingers, resting gently but firm on her shoulders. She purred softly.

I hope soon too have it complete and written so you all can read the full background story. And please remember it is a work in progress and hasn’t been proofread what so ever. So please .. be gentle *grins*
