Miyoshi's Coastline Shack & Beach

A modest shack that has kept out the mist, and built far enough back from the beach to avoid flooding during the stormy seasons. Miyoshi the Loner owns said shack that looks like a shanty conglomerated by a bunch of sea debris and built around what had been overgrown ruins of a harbor master's hut. With a basement, first, second floor and a flat roof, there is enough space for Miyoshi and all her junk!

"Mmmmm~" Miyoshi purrs, feeling the salty air flow over her furry ears and tail as she sits on her haunches on top of her roof and observes the crashing and the flowing of the waves across the white sandy beach several feet ahead of her.



Her feline ears twitched to the sound of birds swooping low over her head; for their sake, the would not want to fly any lower and tempt the woman to snatch one of them with her feline paws! She bobbed her head side to side, pulling out a file and began to sharpen her claws. As one may have guessed from looking at her, she was no average neko. She had more feline features, with fuzzy arms and paws, and a bit of a ferocious side when she was in heat or hungry. Still, Miyoshi kept to herself these days, avoiding much conflict she could since her... bloodier days...



She was once a fierce warrior of this island, for this island. An age of steel clashing against steel, energy and magic, she was quite the formidable predator, when she was known as Miyoshi the Hell Cat! Though such days are long behind this mostly gentle tiger.



...at least when it comes to fighting against people. She still hasn't been able to fully conquer the one true evil: zippers.



Be it her denim short shorts, and trying to get them to fit around her curvy arse, or messing with her jacket, zippers were the worlds truest evil to Miyoshi, but alas they were a necessary evil.

She blinked her long lashes, her unique gold and red eyes glancing around her when she finally noticed it. "Hey... where'd all the mist go?" She asked herself, her dark ringed tail snaking behind her in a confused, almost worried manner.

The mist cleared, and the great blue yonder... yonders?... sky and ocean were clear as day, well a day without mist that is. For Miyoshi it would be like looking up on the world anew in some ways. Clearly she had lived and learned much of her environment, as member of the Govermental Guard until her retirement for active service, but what is more is that her years of skill and service with the GG's had earned her the respect of the Faith Breakers who granted her the freedom to live on the outskirts of the nation, along the border which they alone patrolled and stepped foot on an honor and privilege never heard of or give to another in living memory.

It was an honor and a in some ways a curse. It meant that she had to live outside of society beyond the forest which bordered most of the island nation. Forest that were gorwn with the express purpose of keeping the Gendoshiman people in. Within the forest there were plants which the Faith Breakers cultivated to help cut down on their work load, to reduce the threat of population depletion. Many of the planets that vine and twine their way along and throughout the entire forest which surrounds and encircles Gendoshima is laced with Leech Seedlings. They float through the air like dandelion seeds drifting hither and thither appearing harmless to the touch, and they are, until their unsuspecting prey reach water. Upon being introduced to water or heavy sweat, they being to grow and a rapid rate, turning from harmless seedlings into a vine that spreads from the point of content across the entire surface of the infected being. Sucking their prey dry of will power and energy, draining just enough from their victims to sustain themsleves and render their victim unconscious.

All of which Miyoshi is familiar with as the Faith Breakers imparted this knowledge to her because of their allowance of her to live on the shores of Gendoshima. So when three large Bear like men burst from the forest upon her shores hell bent on escaping Gendoshia, what was she to do. Three very large Bear-men, each standing nearly ten or eleven feet tall each and build like the bear-kin their lineage proclaimed.

"So close we can taste escpae from this cursed land!"

Miyoshi blinked at the sound of heavy footstomps, and turned to the direction of the three large bears as they dove for the shoreline. "I wouldn't do that if I were you~" She yawned, her voice light and if they weren't desperate enough, could've likely heard her warning. Not only was there a terrible tide, there were numerous other dangers to be weary of upon hitting the ocean's waves. Her tail swatting the air left and right playfully as she observed the situation with a broad grin.

Once upon a time there were three Bear-kin Rock Butchers who enjoyed a lavish life of luxury in the service of both the Lord Regent and secretly the Wraith Regent. They who were loyal to a fault had been sent on a mission into the forest of Gendoshima the Southern Forest to be more precious, where no one dared roam. To what dishonor had they been gifted the boon of the Wraith regents ire none could say.

"I don't know what we did wrong," said the first bear.

"It must be a mistake," said the second bear

"He was probably just in a bad mood and we were the first ones he saw," said the third bear.

Not a one of them dared refuse the task given to them openly in the court of the Wraith Regent, but refuse they all did, in secret and in silence, just as soon as they were each issued a Madman's Faux-pas, aka the Makeshift Flamespitter favored by the Wraith regent when sending men to their inevitable deaths openly. Each of the three Bear-kin separately came to the same conclusion...

"He wants me dead, and I haven't even done anything useful with my life," said the first bear when he was alone.

"I'm too young to die," said the second bear when he was alone.

"Fuck me, I'm too pretty die," said the third bear when he was alone.

When the time came to leave on their assigned mission from the Wraith regent they all left together and traveled for the Southern Gendoshima forest stopping along the way by unspoken agreement, and went in a different direction.

"I say we go East," said the first Bear-kin.

"I say we go West," argued the second Bear-kin

"I'd prefer North, but any which way so long as it's not back to the Capital," said the last Bear-kin.

In their mad rush to escape their fate, the three Bear-kins got lost in the forest of Gendoshima, eventually bursting free upon the water front home of Miyoshi. Only one had managed to keep track of his Flamespitter the other two somewhere along the way had lost their weapons being left with only their natural talents and endowments for protection.

As the mad a mad rush for the ocean waters they came to a crashing halt on the shores edge where water hissingly slapped the land in violent waves, all but drowning out the warning from Miyoshi.

"Did you hear something?" The first Bear-kin questioned as he gauged the water before him.

"No," replied the second.

"What are you waiting for it's only water," smirked the third Bear-kin as he charged into the water up to his chest.

Oh the poor thing, he had no idea what was awaiting him after traipsing through the forest of Gendoshima. There was one thing the three bears like most inhabitants of Gendoshima were ignorant of... Leech Seedlings! A normally dormant plant seed that drifs around the forest of Gendoshima constantly seeking vigorous lifeforms to cling and attach to. On their own they are mostly harmless, but once they are introduced to liquid in most forms they rapid grow into a vicious life force draining vine. The Third Bear-kin had done a most foolish thing as Miyoshi had tried to warn the three of them from doing. Water and Leech Seedlings, equaled a life a la comatose. Only in this case the third Bear-kin was chest deep in water when it happened.

It happened in the span of a few heart beats, a vine the size of his own arm seemingly shot out of the water wrapping around his chest and one of his arms a scream of shock cut short by a second vine slithering around his mouth and head, as three more vines erupted out of the water engulfing him as they dragged him kicking and screaming under the water to the bottom of the ocean shoreline. The Second and First Bear-kins stared in horror preparing to splash through the water to their comrade in arms and escape.
