 "Oh~
A sailor went to sea-sea-sea
To see what he could see-see-see
And all that he could see-see-see
Was the gaping mouth of something trying to eat him from the deep red sea-sea-sea~!
I love nursery rhymes! Too bad they won't save your sorry a** if you go out into the ocean unprepared. The Broken Coast as many reefs, sunken ships beneath the surface to keep sailors on their toes... not to mention the innumerable amount of beasties in the ocean that have developed a taste for human flesh...
Needless to say we don't get many visitors out this way, which is why its important that a few brave (and arguably insane) people take up piloting a ship. They have far more knowledge about this than you do, so I strongly suggest that you heed the captains warnings, no matter how superstitious they seem.
I might just save your sorry life...

 How long had they been traveling? It had been like 5 minutes, or five hours, or maybe 5 days. Genshi was a dog thing and knew little of the inner workings of concepts such as time lapsed or distance traveled. The point was they were at some play new and different, there was water. So much water, as far as the eye can see. The smell was... odd. It looked like ships had been broken and sunk up and down the coast line. This place was certainly odd indeed, he looked to Fuzen and the landscape in a repeated back and forth motion. It was obvious it made him uneasy, he pawed at her leg to grab her attention. Maybe she could shed some light on their surroundings, but for the time being it seemed as if they were alone here.

It went on for miles and miles, gone through the world like a split crevasse. It reminded her of an open wound bleeding into the world, and she sighed contentedly. With a shrug, she turned her face down to Genshi, looking him over as he pawed at her.
They were here alone, after a long, long journey. They hadn't even stopped to eat yet, and her stomach rumbled loudly, and she scratched Genshi's ears. "Better put on your people clothes, Genshi. This is new territory." With a knowing eye, she pulled a pair of very shambled trousers from her bag, patched up in many places for comfort and ease of movement.
Holding them out to Genshi, she gave him a look, just one look. If she had to dress him fully, there would be trouble. He was a big pup, and he could do it himself. And he knew it. Her hands pushed the goggles from her face, and she looked over the bloody ocean, staring into the mass of broken ships along the coast.╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx█Now there's no holding back, I'm making to attack❄

Kiyoshi Bushi
Kiyoshi awoke slowly. Where was he? He immediately could tell from the sight of the sky above him that he wasn't in the hospital anymore. He lifted himself from the sand that he was on and looked around. The sight of the red sea in front of him caused him to grimace. The water was so polluted it made him sick.
He looked around again, still confused what had happened. He tried to remember what he had been doing. He remembered going to the hospital and Zenadia fixing him up, but right after she finished.....the strange man and his words that Kiyoshi couldn't discern the meaning of and then he had woke up here. Was this a joke from Zenadia? She often pulled this sort of thing on him, but this seemed a little extreme, even for her.
His ears picked up a rustle of movement and he turned towards it suddenly. A girl and a boy were over at the edge of the water, the girl had pulled a pair of pants out for the guy. Why the heck was he half naked anyway? Weird. Were they from around here? Kiyoshi wasn't positive. Their body language revealed little, other than they were tired and curious. The boy looked like he had never seen water before, even this tainted mass that he couldn't compare to water. He wanted to speak up and ask them why they were here but he dismissed that idea. He was getting a weird vibe from them and it wasn't sitting well in his stomach, though that could just be him.
He stood up and stretched, surveying his area and what he had on him. He still had his two water bottles, filled like they had been earlier(how far back was earlier?) and he had a few kunai as well. Other than that he was kinda lacking in any resources besides the clothes on his back. Seriously, where was he now?

Dropping Genshi's pants to the sand, she braced herself, preparing in case. This was unfamiliar territory, and if the smell of the water was any indication, there were things in there that would more than likely eat her and Genshi. And whatever had decided to trespass upon her nature.
Fists up, she edged towards the noise, ready for action in case anything funny happened. "Who the hell are you?! Speak up! Otherwise it'll be your a** laying flat out on the sand!" Her stare fell upon the boy staring at his belongings, and she edged closer, metal finger biting into her hand as she edged around him, surveying what potential threat lay in this other boy.
He certainly wasn't a looker-lean muscle, and thin as a bone. She sneered, before straightening up, guard still on. "You're too scrawny to be much of a threat. But you might do as food. Though I doubt there's even that much on your bones for that." Her stare hardened at him, before she started to try and prod at him with her fingers. Especially the metal one. ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx█Now there's no holding back, I'm making to attack❄

Kiyoshi Bushi
Kiyoshi looked towards the sudden outburst of yelling, realizing the girl had taken notice of him. He didn't really want to bother with them, they didn't look too sociable or friendly and he wasn't the type to ask for directions either. She was threatening him too. That was confusing to Kiyoshi. He didn't have anything she wanted, of that he was positive, so she must have thought he was someone harmful. Wait did she just mention food?
He frowned and ran one hand through his hair. He didn't really want to fight anyone. Not only would it exhaust him, but also cost him some of his water. He glanced back towards the bloody water. He supposed he could use it if he needed to, but exposing himself to that water would likely put him in a worse position.
He sized up his opponent. She was short, but her dress and demeanor was pretty hard. She kept biting her finger which Kiyoshi recognized as being artificial. A shody piece compared to what he had seen at the hospital back home, but effective in its job. "Even if you did want to eat me, I doubt you'd live long afterwards. I'm not exactly the healthiest individual. Now what do you want?" He swatted her hand aside from his body. Zenaidia did the same thing and it wasn't any less annoying when others did it. "I'm sure you didn't come over here to make friends or ask for directions and I don't have time to play with you or your friend who doesn't like pants." He was rather annoyed with this girl already and he'd just met, not a good first impression, but she was the one who bothered him first.

Well, this one had attitude like herself. She could use him, at least. They certainly couldn't eat him, as he was too thin and bony, but surely she could use him for something. Was he the one that they were supposed to meet in the further south of hell? Maybe she could get an answer out of him. Except he kept referring to Genshi as a person. That irked her, greatly. Genshi wasn't a person, he was a mutt. And a sorry one at that.
Her stare lightened, though she was still braced for action. A lifetime of fighting to survive left no loose ends when it meant food on the table or a new scar. "I am sure that Genshi and I have eaten far worse in the past. And quit referring to him like he's a person. He's my dog. And a rather sorry mutt, if my finger has anything to say about it." Fuzen leaned back on her heels, before issuing a sharp whistle to Genshi. He'd be punished later. The rat he carried would disappear for a little bit. And while the stranger had told them he was unhealthy, he had failed to notice the bones and sickly pallor of both Fuzen and Genshi's bodies. They were far less healthy than him, but spoiled food and starving in the wasteland did that.
Still, there had to be a reason that this boy was here. But he was around her age, maybe older. Hardly a badass. Did that brain fried old geezer expect them to work with him? "Are you the one that the a** clown from the Dirge sent us to find? Because I'd wager that Grandpa is loosing his touch if he thinks that you are some sort of scary. Or useful. But I suppose that if you're here then there has to be a damn reason. So, who the hell are you, and why were we sent to find you?" The grin turned to a grimace, and Fuzen pushed her goggles from her face, thoughtfully chewing her lip and making the piercings there clink impatiently. ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx█Now there's no holding back, I'm making to attack❄

Kiyoshi Bushi
Kiyoshi kept the frown on his face. He didn't like this girl's attitude at all. The guy behind her was definitely a person, regardless of his manner. Though he was learning a bit from her. Her finger was the cause of that boy, Genshi she called him. He still didn't know this girl's name though.
She mentioned a lot of strange things at once, bombarding him with questions. Her comment that he was scary or useful made him smirk for a second, though he quickly reverted to his frown. 'I don't know who your friend in the Dirge is or this "grandpa". I was in a hospital before I woke up. Some strange looking dude did something to make me fall asleep and I ended up here.He didn't say anything about this, just knocked me out and must have brought me here." His brow furrowed in annoyance as well."Rather a rude one aren't we? My name is Kiyoshi, maybe the lady would like to introduce herself?"

Obviously he had no idea where he was or why he was here. Not that she had any clue either, but the a** clown that sent her and Genshi up here obviously had something in mind. Though aiding a kidnapping victim was hardly in their repetoire. Until he said something about her being rude, and then he called her a lady, things up to that point had been going well.
Fuzen's face flamed with blush, and she looked away from Kiyoshi, embarrassed and enraged. "Manners and all that polite crap only get you scarred and laughed at or killed in the Dirge. Y-you're an outsider., so you don't know. But if it makes the sassy boy feel complete, my name is Fuzen." Her gaze wandered to Genshi, still playing with his dead rat on the sand, and she gave Kiyoshi a look of exhaustion. She was tired, despite her demeanor. And she was certainly ready to rest and eat, even if it meant eating the dead rat. Flouncy purple locks bounced as the waves lapped at the shore, tentacles surfacing out in the distance calmly.
And this boy had been assuming Genshi was a person still. It irked her. "I keep telling you, he isn't a person. Genshi is a dog. You don't believe me, take off that collar he's wearing. Of course, I'll be burying you afterwards, because the wolf in him comes out, and we'd probably eat your scraps, but if you insist...And funny you should mention that, a strange old man approached Genshi and I while we were getting in a scrap of our own." She sighed, brushing the tattered cloak on her body, and gathering her pack up. The growl from her stomach rumbled loudly, and her fingers ran through her hair, the metal finger catching slightly. ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx█Now there's no holding back, I'm making to attack❄

Kiyoshi Bushi
Kiyoshi raised an eyebrow as she turned away from him. He shrugged as she warned him. "I tend to get back up pretty easily if knocked over or slashed so if that's all I have to worry about then I should be fine." So her name was Fuzen...
The look she gave him made Kiyoshi realize how tired she actually was. Things must be pretty crappy out here if she was that exhausted. As he followed her gaze to Genshi she spoke up again about his opinion from earlier. She mentioned his collar and Kiyoshi noticed it for the first time. He wondered if the girl was serious or joking. If he removed it and he did become an animal, wouldn't she be in danger too?
"A strange old man? Is that the grandpa character you mentioned? Why are you here?" He approached Genshi as he spoke and knelt next to the boy, trying to get a look at the collar. It looked like it was covered in sealing marks. Holding the wolf back huh?

"He has me for a reason. I had to lure him with my food and my blood. I'm his owner. And he only responds to me when the collar comes off. Though, let me tell you, it's a b***h to put back on sometimes. He's feral, wild. Just like everything else in the ******** Dirge." Fuzen brushed her hair from her face, shivering at the dampness of the air. It was pretty damn cold out here, though sort of relaxing.
Kiyoshi seemed interested in their directives, and Fuzen was hesitant to tell him the whole story. "Yeah, old skinny b*****d with some sweet gear decided to send us up here to make some alliances with the other colonies. Little hard to make alliances when you don't know where the hell you're going. Or who you're supposed to be looking for." With a sigh, she squatted next to Genshi, scratching his ears and tangling her fingers in his mane. At least he was content enough...
A soft rumble sounded from her stomach, and she squinted her eyes in annoyance. Now was not the time to focus on how hungry she was, how close to starving she and Genshi had been as of late. "Well, it seems as though you're as put out as we are. You have much fancier things than ours. And you aren't scarred or leathery from the desert winds. Must be a nice place. Sucks for you to have to be out here. If you want to, you can always tag along with me and Genshi. There isn't much food, but I'm certain he can do without the rat if you're hungry." Raising an eyebrow, she gestured to the rat laying near her feet, as if she was ready to give a new one to the dog-boy. ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx█Now there's no holding back, I'm making to attack❄

Kiyoshi Bushi
Kiyoshi listened to the girl describe Genshi. Regardless of how she treated him or how he was, Kiyoshi still felt the boy had to have some humanity in him. He wondered if he spoke....
He was roused from his thoughts when Fuzen mentioned alliances with other colonies. If he was in the Dirge, then he was far from home. "Alliances huh?", he mumbled to himself. Was that the reason he was here? To make some sort of alliance? Or help facilitate such a thing? He wasn't sure what he could contribute being more of a science oriented being. Yeah, he could fight, but he really was more interested in fixing his condition or figuring out a way to purify the water he so desperately needed.
Kiyoshi looked up from his lapse in thought again as Fuzen offered to let him join them. While he still didn't really know what was going on, he figured it was better to be with someone from around here to avoid drawing any sort of attention, though he figured he was going to get that regardless. He did look a great deal healthier and cleaner than either of the beings in front of him. "I'll take you up on that then. It seems that our benefactors wanted us to meet anyway. What have you guys done so far?"

  "I tremble. They're gonna eat me alive..
If I stumble..."  ==== ☠ ==== Treading quietly down the coast was a rather large looking black wolf. A soft snarl could be heard from it's bone mask as it sniffed the ground intently. It looked as if it were on the hunt for food, or perhaps something had wandered into it's territory and it came to chase out the invader- or perhaps she was the invader?
Akira caught the scent of strangers as she was hunting for food, but that was the very reason she strayed out of her territory today. Food had recently become very scarce due to higher toxicity levels and the recent drought that plagued the land. Akira could produce her own water, but she couldn't do the same for food. So she had no choice but to stray from the comfort of her territory. The prey Akira had been hunting for today was the corpse of a dead rat. It's not much, but it'll tide her over for awhile until she can find bigger game.
Of course...even obtaining a mere rat had it's challenges. 'Humans...' This wasn't the first time Akira had run into humans due to a shortage in food, and she was sure it wouldn't be the last time. Akira sniffed the air as she quietly stalked around the site. She was still far enough away that she would only appear as a sizable black dot. Though to Akira's senses they might as well have been only inches away. Still, the smell of the rat was making her anxious. She paced around, making small whines as she began thinking of a way to snatch the rat without upsetting the humans. Generally she'd cloak up and snatch it right from under their noses, but there was a particular scent that she was unfamiliar with. It smelled like another canine, but she couldn't visually see one and it confused her. If there was a dog or wolf it would be a bit more difficult to get what she came for.☢═━┈┈━═☢ Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer.
Hard to be soft, tough to be tender.
Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train." ☢

Gensgi had almost entirely ignored his master's look. One that usually would have left him not daring to question obedience. However as young pups are, he was easily distracted. The dead rat was pounded and pounced upon thusly. It wasn't until she dropped his sports that he had begun to pay attention. The mutt sniffed his pants, they certainly smelled like his, but mommy knew he didn't like them so why would she...
There was a pause in whatever his line if thinking would be before he looked yup to see a strange not looking at his. He gave a stalled yep forgetting both pants and rat, he scuttled away quickly. That was odd, he could smell himself, the rat, his master and water. Just..clean water, this boy didn't smell like a smell, he smelled like..his scent was..was...
scent.... That scent was not his scent, mommy handled the man and Genshi was preoccupied note, focused even. Unusual for him. His ears perked up and he began to inhale deeply, snuffing at the air. He began to pace in a loose circle, squinting as he focused on his sense of smell. Where was it coming from? He paced this way and that looking for the source.
Suddenly he halted, on all fours ears up and alert, his eyes widened in his prize. The source of that other smell.... it was..no no... she. That was when Genshi postured himself and did something he normally did only Ellen the collar was off. He let out a deep, low and throaty growl. It trickled from his abdomen before crawling up his throat and spilling out of his mouth in a rather masculine swell of dominance.
My my, was the source of the other scent in heat? Not that it would matter to Genshi in moments he would discern for himself. That was all the warning they had gotten before the whumpf sound of Genshi leaving a small crater of sand carved out of where he was standing, leaving a trail of sand clouds in his wake as he galloped on all fours with a disturbing grace Kiyoshi would have expected from an animal not a human. Whatever it was Genshi was closing on it, and fast. (sorry for spelling errors this it's from my phone)
