The blur of fur was impressive as it streaked across campus--or at least it was until it ran into a bench leg, wheeling backwards and landing on its fluffy butt. The poor cycorgi had been owned by the punk boil for all of a day and his life was already HORRIBLE!
"And don't come back!!" Jackdammit shouted all the way from the reapers' dorm. The sound of the door closing seemed to echo in the poor nameless pup's ears, which promptly fell back on his butt as he let out a whimper.
Oh how he wished he had picked a different student...

He looooooooooooved her. So much! Ever since she first picked him up and took him in. He was a happy, happy little cycorgi.
.... Except he didn't have any friends to play with. Dingo didn't seem to like him enough to pay any attention to him, and he definitely did not appreciate his tail being nibbled. He couldn't quite keep up wit Chives either, the little deer seemed to be too lost in his own world to provide any good companionship. And Snow ... the fright he had gotten when the nice fluffy pillow decided to growl and bare its teeth at him.
QAQ
The room was a little too cold for his liking, and that why in the mornings to afternoons he would be allowed to run about and play while she attended her lessons. Lately, she had been ever more away being busy with the Trials. The Cycorgi pup trotted about the campus happily, seeing if he could find something nice to bring back for her. A dead rat maybe. Or a cat. Or a moldy snotball. Then suddenly, the Cycorgi stopped in his tracks. He'd spotted something.
A NEW FRIENDDDDDDDDDD
Barking excitedly, he charged forward and straight into the other pup. That could have been his brother. Who knows.

Oh no! Ohnononono, what if Jackdammit had followed him? Or that big guy, Clef? He was definitely going to--
The cycorgi scrambled to his feet, about to leave--and then stopped as he realized who was coming. That--that wasn't one of the mean ones! It was a BROTHER!!
He let out a massive YAP! And raced forward, so happy to see one of his own that he could almost cry! His tail wagged back and forth so fast that he almost fell on his face, it was trying to lift his butt in the air. "HIIIII!!" he said. "Hi hi hihihhihii!!"
And then he tried to tackled the other pup.

“HIHIHIHIHI LET'S PLAYYYYYY” he yapped excitedly, even as he bowled into the other pup's face. And so the two pups tackled each other to the ground and continued into what looked like a brawl. But it was just love. Really.
The pup suddenly bolted up, his ears high in the air, staring off into the distance. Squirrel? ....
“LET'S GO ON AN ADVENTURE!!!!” he yelped, dashing off ahead for a few feet before stopping to make sure his new friend was coming with him.
This was going to be the best adventure EVER.

"ADDDVEEENNNTUUUUREE HOOOO!!" the little pup bellowed, right on the tail of his brother, intent on seeing EVERYTHING!
His little problem with Jackdammit was going... going... gone! He really did take after his master.
Speaking of his master...
Roch dropped the tray piled with food on the table that Edel was sitting at, dropping down in his chair and grabbing the hamburger first. Yes, hamburger. Yes, this WAS breakfast. But this was Roch. "You got any clue what today's trial is gonna be?" he asked after swallowing his third bite (and half the burger.)

Edel took a sip of her earl grey tea as she flipped through the tabs on her eyephone. Just a few days after the first trials and the interweb had been flooded by scores of reports and interviews ... some of them looking to be largely exaggerated. She had spotted a few articles containing quotes from her brief interview. Needless to say she wasn't very impressed with the way the articles were written. Slightly annoyed, she set her eyephone down on the table and took another sip of her tea.
“We are done with Famine's and Conquest, leaving us with Death's and War's. I haven't got a clue really, not that knowing would make us any more prepared.” She wrinkled her nose, thinking about the absurdity that was the last trial. “We'll just take it as it comes, it's worked out pretty well for us till now,” she said with a laugh. Really, with so much publicity going on, she doubted they would be faced with any .... significant hazards and be dissipated like what had happened in Conquest's Trial – that wasn't public. Still, the previous challenge had quite nearly killed her with the sun, so she couldn't really say.
“Been bugged by any of those reporters yet?” she asked, eyeing a stray and scrawny looking journalist who had found his way into the cafeteria. Not now, please.
... Meanwhile ...
“I SMELL A RAT! AND CHICKEN. AND BURGER.” The cycorgi stopped to sniff the air, trying to find where that aroma was coming from. “THIS WAY!” he barked, charging off in one direction. Whether or not he was right was another thing.

"Burger? BURGER??" the pup yelped excitedly, dancing for just a second before he realized he had been left behind. "Wait for MEEEE!!!" he yelled, chasing after his brother.
"Yeah," Roch said, suddenly remembering something. He'd had a full day of lounging around and hanging out with a super hot reaper chick the day before, so it was no wonder important facts had slipped his mind. "Um... about you and Moure," he ventured hesitantly. "How long... um... just, how long?" he asked.

Edel looked up from her cup, not wearing any particular expression. “Around Scarentines,” she replied casually, albeit slowly, “Though I've liked him long before that ... why, does it bother you?” The ghoul was being as straightforward as possible with Roch. Something clicked.
“It's not going to get in the way of the trials if that's what you're thinking ... what happened the other day was just the sun ...”

"Yeah... um..." he said, hesitating over his food. "I don't... well, hell, I'll be honest. I don't know how to deal with couples. So it might be a bit awkward with me there--" Hell, it'd be a bit awkward with THREE other guys there, wouldn't it? What the hell was he supposed to do in this case, he wondered with a frown.
Then again, this was sort of like the Hel problem, right? "Look, I like you, and Moure's a bro. He definitely earned that title in the haunted house. The only reason I would interfere is if I thought you were takin' advantage of him bein... him. I don't see that happenin, though. So... I guess... you mention you want some alone time--unless we're fightin' for our lives at the moment, and I'll get out of the way, alright?"
Then someone let the interview guys in. They seemed to pour in like water, and he cursed, trying to finish his food before they got to them.

The ghoul pulled a face and went back to her tea. Really Roch. “I'd say that alone time is when, you know, I'm alone with him. I don't intend us to be openly declaring our relationship .... even though we sort of did ... ” her voice died down towards the end of the sentence and the ghoul pulled back her hair, expressing her disappointment in herself. “The point is, there isn't a need to change the way you act around us, I wouldn't like that. We aren't going to make things uncomfortable for you alright?” she sighed in exasperation, staring hard at Roch and telling him that they were not going to be like Herryk and Freya. Seriously.
The frost demon looked up to see the flood of journalists coming in and promptly finished up the rest of her tea. There really was no escaping now, it would be easier to answer a few questions and then decline further prompts. The first reporter had already shoved her way through and began jabbering off excitedly. “Ah! Here we have two of the members of team Ice Breakers having breakfast together. No guesses where the name came from! So tell me, are the two of you together? Or is this some kind of strategy meeting over breakfast? Tell us!” she exclaimed, shoving the mic in front of Roch.
Meanwhile a certain pair of corgi pups may have found their way to the trash room ... There really wasn't much to see there other than some students battling trashbots and getting all stinked up.

"Oooooooh," the cycorgi said. "LOTS OF STUFF!!" He rushed forward, only to yelp as one of the trashbots started for them. "RUUUUNN AWWAAAYYY!!" he yelled, turning tail and racing away as fast as his stubby little legs could take him.
Roch stared at the mic, then loudly (right into the speaker part) burped. It seemed to echo through the room as he wiped his mouth off with the back of his hand. "Does it really look like we'd be the type to date?" the punk boil asked dryly. "And we can't strategize when we don't even know what the trial will be." He had a headache coming on. Hell, he wished the trial would just start already.

“Over here! Over here!” he barked and the cycorgi would find himself barking up a tree. The wrong one.
Where was all the FOOOOOOOOOOODDDDD ?????
Edel subtly moved her hand to cover her noise as Roch burped into the mic. The reporter meanwhile, had taken a good few steps back. Excellent. The unimpressed look the frost demon gave suggested she shared Roch's sentiments on both counts and was rather ready to clear her tea cup away and start on the Trial preparations.
Still, there were those that were undaunted by the burp. The scrawny guy from before had weaseled his way to the front to put in a question. “D-D-D-Do you see yourselves doing well for the rest of the trial? S-S-S-Special skills that you might have to help?” he stuttered out.
The ghoul shrugged and looked to Roch. “My team mates are rather talented people I'd say,” she replied, just to humour the poor guy.

"Special skills?" Roch repeated, glancing over at Edel and giving her a little grin at that compliment before he looked thoughtful. Most of his "special skills" were borderline illegal, but considering the classes Invi had put him through, he supposed they could come in handy...
"I have an ear for perfect pitch," he told the guy, extremely srs faced. "It's excellent--right on key. To the decibel, even," he told him, holding his forefinger and thumb up so they almost touched.
The little cycorgi looked at the tree, tilting his head. Then his ears perked. "I hear my boil!!" The burp, that was. It had echoed.

He had a master too? WOULD HE BE HIS NEW FRIEEEENDDDD? Cycorgi was panting happily, his ears perked up and tail wagging. “Let's go let's go let's go” he pestered his brother along.
Meanwhile Edel was looking very impressed with Roch's special skill. She could easily say that he was just bullshitting his way through it, but knowing him, it probably was true. Most probably... yea.
“C-C-C-Could you play us a tune?” the reporter asked excitedly. The rest of the journalists waiting behind him groaned and face-palmed at the epic time wasting.

He thought about it. He thought hard on it, then dug through his pockets, pulling out his harmonica. Yes, his harmonica. "But isn't your weapon a guita--" another of the interviewers started out, only to be shushed by the others. Roch held it up. "I just taught myself this!" he said ever so proudly. "See, Bones woulda taught me, but he's a skeleton, so... y'know, he's got no lips. But here, listen to this!" he said, starting to play.
