{~Venture Here and Die~}
 Name: Nekoyitolani
Meaning: 'Girl with hair like the lion's mane' - 'Nek' means wildcat, which translates to lion when the 'oyit' for the specific word given to a lion's mane is added, and 'olani' is the 'girl with', the 'o' being added before the word given it the meaning of 'belongs to', which is also the reason for the 'o' in front of the 'yit', so my name is literally actually 'wildcat that belongs to a mane that belongs to a girl' XD

{~My History~}
Or, at least, what I choose to reveal to others...
I don't know where I came from or who my parents were, only that since I was a child I had been the apprentice to the only guide who could safely traverse the famous and deadly Tolfitken Cavesystem, which was named for the ruins in the middle of the system. Two others were apprenticed with me, but I was the only one who learned everything our master had to teach us before one of the younger, more proud and ambitious apprentices, a girl named Kuit, killed our master and the third apprentice, a boy named Raitn.
I was able to escape Kuit then, thanks to my knowledge of the caves being greater then hers, and continue to evade her now. She is stronger, faster, and a better brute strength fighter than me, which means it is only a matter of time until she finds me again.
In one of the villages I had escaped to I ran into a theif named Moonlight who, due to some unfortunate business with trying to keep her from stealing a scroll, I became stuck travelling with. Getting a glimpse of the scroll, before we accidentally tore it half, I was able to learn that it was written in my native language and was a map of some sorts. I, and my adventurous spirit, decided to follow the map, which meant dragging Moonlight along since she still held on to the half of the scroll she got when it ripped in two.
Through another course of misadventures involving Moonlight's boss we then had to run from the wizard, Guajard, and his bodyguard, Druas, who were aiming to steal the scroll from us in some sort of plot. They caught us once, and managed to get Moonlight's half of the scroll. Now with the knowledge that whatever the scroll would lead us to was dangerous and could be deadly in the wrong hands, we could only try to escape and follow what I remembered from the scroll until we could get the other half back or spend the rest of our days running from a wizard and his bodyguard and my crazed foster-sister.
Unfortunately, we ran into Kuit while following a different route out of the caves and ended up in the ruins, where something happened, I don't know what, and some sort of explosion sent all three of us flying in different directions.
I landed on top of Druas, the aforementioned bodyguard, and we began to fight. Things weren't going my way when a sand storm got kicked up and I lost sight of my opponent. When the sand finally cleared my world was gone, and this 'Namiah' had taken its place.

{~My First Day In This Strange New Place~}
The first thing I noticed about this strange world was the 'human' who had claimed to bring me here. She was extremely annoying and at first the only thing I wanted to do with her was tie her up and throw her in a closet somewhere, before she pointed out my strange new ears and tail and that the only way I'd get to know more about where I was now and what I had become was if I cooperated with her. I curse my weakness in the need to have information and the decision it lead to in complying with the annoying being; Neko, that's what she said her name was. Unfortunately, as well, she knew how to perfectly pronounce my name and even what it meant, which means that even though I am finding myself increasingly angered by her she has some small piece of my respect.
Then I met two others at basically the same time; one was another 'human' who attacked me in a similiar fashion as Moonlight would have done, which made me dislike her immediately, and the other was a native creature, a Namir, who failed to introduce himself and warned me about 'excited humans' just a fraction too late for me to dogde the 'human' who acted like Moonlight.
My 'human' had to leave for a while before I could ask the Namir just where I had ended up, since Neko was still trying to be sneaky about that information, and took me with her. When I returned to the clearing I had first arrived I made the mistake of talking to myself out loud and allowed myself to be startled by the sudden reappearance of the Namir from earlier. Since he wasn't saying anything useful I tried to get him to go away and then tried to leave myself, but he refused to leave me alone for some reason. I finally got him to go away by doing nothing, strangely enough.
But then my 'human' tried to get someone else to talk to me, to 'rp' with me, which only made her more my enemy and made me regret once again my decision to follow her. Even though it was becoming clear that that decision hadn't exactly been mine to make in the first place. I would have had to follow her even if I had refused her first offer, something about her 'creating' me?
I was quickly distracted from that revelation, however, when another of the strange inhabitants approached me, though she didn't seem to know why she had done so. By then I was just tired so I tried asking her if there were any caves around, to which the reply was 'no'.
Her name wasn't even asked for before I sighed and began to walk away to see for myself whether or not this new land had caves. I didn't get too far before my 'human' dragged me back and tried to get me to 'mingle'. My response was to act on my earlier thoughts about tying her up and shoving her in a closet. I ended up acquiesting to her demands, but she stayed in the closet.
The next Namrah I talked to were some kits who were pointing at me and apologizing for calling me a 'thing'; I actually had fun with the encounter, confusing them a little before I finally gave my name for the first time in this world. I learned that most of the creatures here had short names and that mine was going to be even more difficult to pronounce than it was in my own world. That means I wont have as many people to respect, I suppose, but it also means I'll have to suffer through many mispronounciations... I gave them my nickname, and then we got on the subject of parents.
I told her, Anala was the kit's name, that my 'parent' and one of my 'siblings' were deceased and that was it. Then she asked how I got to be in this world. Not going past the battle with Druas, I explained about the sandstorm and how I closed my eyes and opened them and was here. I began to wonder if perhaps Kuit or Druas could have come to this world with me, and wondered what they would do if they did and discovered that I had, as well. I suppose with no further reason to capture the scroll Druas wouldn't do much, but I think Kuit would still continue trying to kill me. Anala then got me to laugh by mistakingly calling Kuit my 'freind'. She said I say too much when I explain things, which I suppose I do.
After that my 'human' got tired and dragged me, yet again, away to go to bed. We wound up listening to something called 'The Jabberwocky' over and over again instead... She wanted to memorize it and now I have it memorized... stare

{~Names and Chocolate~}
I met another 'Namir' today, Kara, who I had a very interesting conversation with. At the beginning we refused to give each other our names and spoke in some sort of what I'm asuming is a nobleman's prose. All I know is it sounded snobby and I didn't enjoy speaking in it for very long.
We finaly got around to names after mentioning our different cultures and how neither of us had started out with 'fuzzy ears', which she pointed out that I had, how I did not notice the fuziness when I noticed the new length of my ears and the tail I do not know. She finally gave me a name to stick to this place: 'Namiah'. Apparently it is an island, which means I will get to explore only a limited amount of land, but as she also pointed out there are mountains so there is the possibilty of finding some nice caves.
The mention of caves was enough to send mein the direction of the mountains and leave her behind, but she didn't stay behind for long. She appeared first a little ways in front of me, and then a lot closer, allowing me to show her my usual reaction to people surprising me. In short, I fell down. With my usual glare and scowl I was back on my feet and continuing my walk, but now she had joined me. She offered me something called 'chocolate' which I'd only had once before long ago and I accepted it after a small amount of banter. It was delicious, and poisonous to the inhabitants of the island, according to Kara.
Not that I would use that knowledge for dark purposes, but I found the information interesting. I think it made up for the fact that I still actually know very little about this world I am in. I know something about them beyond their outward appearances, small though it may be, it is a start. And I discovered early in life that everything starts somewhere.

{~Provisions and Caves and Questions~}
Tonight began with my 'human' 'flinging' me into the clearing, which is occuring more often than I care to have happen... stare In my course of... 'Convincing' her not to try her little 'flinging' thing anymore, I attracted the attention of some of the other 'humans' in the clearing. Apparantly some of them thought I was 'amusing'. I am overusing my little ' ' symbols so I will quickly move on to the next occurance of the night before I begin to lose my temper and randomly leave to 'kill' my 'human'.
~
Alright, I was too late to resist that urge, and now my 'human' is again run through with my sword, tied up with my whip, and locked in a closet with a shoe stuffed into her mouth.
~
That satisfied, both right now and earlier tonight, I began to continue my search for provisions so I could travel into the mountains. I started hearing this strange music, then one of the little Namir pests popped out at me from the snow, my usual reaction being to fall into the bush I was looking at. He said startling me was for fun, but he realized quickly that it obviously hadn't been 'fun' for me. I had debated cracking my whip, which he, Skittles he said his name was- another short one, seemed to find fascinating, to see if he would jump like I had. But I finally decided against it.
When I asked him what he wanted he said he wanted to be my freind, and when I refused that he said he wanted to help me. I allowed him to show me where a cave was, after I had him repeat my name; I'm finding that it does not seem as hard to say here as it first appeared. He was very talkative, and kept asking me questions even after I made it clear that I did not want to spend a lot of time on conversation.
Unfortunately I made the mistake of actually answering him and somehow we got onto the topic of where I came from and I was forced to think about the possibility that Kuit or Guajard and Druas or Moonlight could be pulled into this world at any time like I was. It is a disturbing thought, but it's not as disturbing as the fact I have to face that I have found myself here and, unless this all turns out to be just some strange dream, I'm probably not going to leave.
I left him behind after he finally showed me the cave, small and short though it was it finally got me away from the yammering...
Later I came back to admire a cape one of the 'humans' was wearing. In my distraction I allowed the Namir I first met, Frey, to surprise me and I fell down again. He asked my name and gave me his, and then he barraged me with questions not two seconds afterwards.
What is it with this world's creatures and asking me questions? I suppose I must be as strange to them as they are to me, but I at least have been transformed to look like them, and I don't ask near as many questions about their ways of life or dress, or lack thereof.
He paused in his questioning only once when I drew my sword. I'm not sure if it was the sword or my saying he'd insulted me from the way he acted, and I'm not really sure I care, either, as the questions resumed as soon as the odd moment had passed. He finally seemed to run out of them and I affirmed his last question of whether or not I would force him to leave if he would not go on his own.
All in all, I didn't get much farther in my stocking of provisions or finding of nearby caves and was basically just questioned by annoying Namrah all night...

{~Weapons Turn Against Their Masters And Assistance Is Required~}
Ugh! I spent the better part of tonight being tied up in my own whip by my so-called 'human'. She started out just lowering me into the clearing, don't ask how that was acheived for even I don't know and I was the one she was doing it to! Anyways, after a few threats of 'I will kill you for this' she dropped me into the clearing, or rather, into a bush on the edge of the clearing.
I spent half an hour just trying to untangle myself from the bush before I could even start trying to untie myself from my whip. As it was I even resorted to biting at it at one point... XP But then I fell over and couldn't even get back up because my sword was in the way, and then one of the 'humans' started poking me, with a stick! And my supposed 'human' was encouraging them to do it! I shouted 'Lui lien nutev', which means 'You will die by my hands', and cursed numerous times, but that just made them laugh.
It finally ended with another human-like Namir like me, only he was male, thwapping the 'human'. The male Namir offered assistance in removing the whip and I was forced to accept his help. I let him release me from the whip and then we introduced ourselves, Ryo he said his name was, yet another short one. But soon after that he was whisked away by his 'human' and then I went to bed.

{~The Fascination Of Kits~}
Tonight I ran into a kit named Reina, at least, I think her name was Reina, she was talking in 'baby talk'. For some reason she wanted to cling to me, like I was some lovable relative. No matter how much I told her I don't like anyone and I don't have any freinds she kept on trying to get me to say I liked her and when I didn't she accused me of hating her.
Crocodile tears may appear to only sound dangerous and have no real substance, but that observation of the term would be completely wrong. It took me a while to calm her down and assure her that hate was the wrong word for it, and I probably shouldn't have even done that. I should have just let her think I hate her, to save both of us some grief, though I suppose it still would have whether from the pain of rejection on her end and guilt on mine. Either way, the denial of hate only seemed to make her hug me more tightly.
I tried to get away from her but she continued to cling to me until she fell asleep, and then I didn't know what to do with her. I couldn't just leave her alone in the woods, but I couldn't take her with me, and I had no clue where she had come from. In the end I wound up just falling asleep with her latched into my waist.
It was... Odd... Dealing with a kit again. She wasn't just the normal annoying, bouncing, clingy kit; she was like one of the children from one of the villages I lived in. Almost like them, I mean, she was too young to really understand her attachment to me, and I hope I never see her again for that little attachment to grow. But still, it reminded me of how things had been, and how Kuit had interfered. How she could still come to this world and interfere again. I don't have any freinds and I don't like anyone; so long as I don't, Kuit can't harm them.

{~Death~}
My 'human' attempted to throw me into the clearing again... Well, she did throw me into the clearing, and then tied me to it until another Namir creature came along to 'socialize' with me... stare
The first Namir who finally did come to talk to me was all wrapped in bandages and wanted to partake in some small talk. But the 'humans' didn't think small talk was interesting enough, so they tried to make something happen. Fortunately we hit upon an interesting topic of conversation before they were able to do anything to make an 'interesting' something happen.
Apparently he had died a long time ago and had been brought back to life in this Namiah world, though it appeared as if he had been brought back in the same body he had died in, so he didn't know exactly how alive he was. I offered to test that question with my sword and surprisingly enough he agreed to it. At first when I stabbed him it looked like he died, but after I removed the blade he came back to life complaining that getting stabbed hurts.
Belatedly I posed the question of what would have happened had I stabbed him and he died for real... Then we began wondering how many other people ahd come to this world by dying and I had to force myself to face the fact that I might have died to come here; after all, I don't know what Druas did when the sand was kicked up.
But I was quickly distracted from such thoughts when the Namir began to speak about what his people do to the bodies of people after they die. In his world they go through a whole complicated process, which I had some difficulty in understanding.
If your body can no longer be used, then what does it matter to the person who's dead what happens to it? I think burial preparations and such are merely for the living to remember those who have left them behind, but I neglected to say so outloud. After all, there isn't really anyone who would care what would happen to my body after I died, and, being dead, I wouldn't care what happened to it.
After that we parted ways, and I decided not to think too hard on what might have happened in my own world if I truly was dead there.

{~To Choke, or Not to Choke?~}
Tonight began strangely, though I'm finding a lot of my days in this world are beginning strangely... First, I was somehow stuffed into my 'human's' pocket, and then she offered me to someone to have them stick me in their mouth and choke on me! The longer I stay in this world the more I am wanting to return to my own...
The good news is other than that, I was pretty much left alone for today...

{~Growing Up~}
Tonight I woke up to find the little kit, Reina, sitting on top of my head. Then a beetle came by and she attacked it, telling it not to touch me, then telling me that it was going to kill me and she saved my life.
She had no way of knowing exactly how much those words alarmed me, and I wasn't about to let her see me lose my cool. What if Kuit came and she learned that Kuit as trying to kill me? I think she would probably get scared and try to run, but not after letting Kuit on to the fact that she knows me and has some type of freindly connection to me, and then it wouldn't matter if she tried to run or not...
Then she tried asking me if I liked her again, to which my reply was the same, and her reaction to my reply was the same. I tried to retreat instead of calming her down, but that plan backfired as she tried to follow me and ended up hurting herself...
I reappeared to her to pat her on the shoulder and tell her that I still didn't like her and she wasn't my freind, but I couldn't answer why. I said that kits and I just didn't get along...
She seemed to get that all was not as it looked and said she would go away until she grew up some. It's better than her continuously following me around for now, and I'm hoping she forgets about me, but the look in her eyes leads me to beleive that that hope will be a small one. I'm almost afraid of what she'll do if she comes back to me as a teen and demands to know why I can't accept her as a freind yet I don't hate her.
I can't let her know about Kuit, possibly because her perception of me might change because there's someone who wants to kill me, though I refuse to acknowledge that as a reason. But mainly because I don't want her to try doing anything to stop Kuit if Kuit somehow gets into this world, or trying to hunt her down if she hears of her in this world. I don't want a repetition of Byrnar's death...

{~Sugah And Spice~}
Well, tonight I was able to catch my 'human' and stuff her in a closet, but doing so cost me my whip for a time as I used it to tie her up...
Then some four-legged Namir with hair and a jacket popped out in front of me and I fell down again. Why do people enjoy just appearing out of nowhere to startle me, it's not like I appear out of nowhere to startle them. Then again, it'sprobably because I don't that I'm such an easy target... stare
But that wasn't what got her on my bad side, what got her on my bad side was the fact that she kept calling me 'Sugah'. And trying to insult me. Lucky for me I was prepared for her after she popped out at me, so I was able to get in some shots at her. Then we went from bantering to actually sparring, and I'll admit she wasn't bad, but she wasn't good, either, at least, she wasn't as good as Kuit or Moonlight.
After that the night was pretty uneventful... I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, yet...
