Ah, not a single no. Always a joy to see. But due to the additional things, we'll have to travel...a DIFFERENT way.

So, here's the Votes.

Spoiler: The Winner Vote

[X] GO FOR THE WU!: Go after the Longi Kite, potential confrontations, potential allies, the usual deal.
-[X] Take Koga with you as support. Have him equiped with the Lasso Boa Boa
-[X] Check your e-mail during the flight in case your potential minions answered your last one.

The disclaimer. Where I swear I own nothing, not the place, time, or setting of this writing. What I DO own are means by which generous people can help and support a young man if they should choose. Available here and here, or my profile for those curious. The first is to my P A treon, and the second is to a fund, for commissions or if you think I could use a little something extra.

And now we're good to go.

LET'S GO, KO-GA-JA! GO-GO-GO!

"Hey, Koga! I'm off on a world trekking adventure for a mystical kite! Want in?" You call out to your living room as you pack your bots into your jet, along with a set of snacks, a spare floatie, and a set of swim trunks. It's happening in Hawaii~!

Focus DC of 20: Roll 1d20 + 4. Rolled... 7! FAIL!

You were also trying to check your email while doing so, but any attempt at such was hastily denied as strong arms wrapped around and trapped you in a hug that felt bone crushing.

Koga, tears in his eyes, could barely be heard over his blubbering and your flailing for air.

"Y-Y-Young MASTER! You R-Really want this Maid Guy to come with you? No Trying to d-ditch me like the last ungrateful family I had to raise! OF COURSE! OF COURSE KOGARASHI SHALL MAKE HIS DEBUT!" HE crowed with glee as he swung you back and forth, the Third-Arm Sash leaving rends in counter tops and the floor where it tried to reach for safety.

"Hokay! Okay! Jush Pleas, LETH ME BREATHE!" You wheezed from between his arms, feeling like an action figure about to break.

Sweet air came to at last however as Koga finally released his grip, mercifully letting you fall to the floor where you greedily breathed in air, already looking up with fear and regret for asking such a thing.

The feeling was proven right as you saw Kogarashi now in complete holiday garb, eye-searing floral shirts, too tight shorts, and a set of three coconuts tied together over his shoulder barely visible beneath his massive sunhat with eye holes cut out in the middle.

"But we can't take a Jet to Hawaii! That's just so predictable and pedestrian!" Koga cried out before pulling one of the coconuts he was carrying out.

Before you could even get a word or even exclamation of what was even happening anymore, he SMASHED the tropical fruit in his hand, pulling out a remote!

With a jolly press of a button, you felt your body, and subsequently your house begin to shake.

As the floor began to fall away to a wall on the right, you were wondering if you had been drugged, because you were SURE you'd have remembered installing an underground docking area filled with a massive yacht, as well as Cyclops watching what seemed to be Dora the Explorer on a Movie screen.

"We shall travel with STYLE!" Koga roared as he ran through the newly opened channel, clapping his hands to get Cyclops' attention and watching a massive smile grow on his face.

You just kept staring for a moment. Body tugging itself forward and wondering just how much of your life was really your choice.

"When did they even build this? HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THIS." You said to yourself as you walked.

Evidently, Koga heard you just fine from his position of fitting Cyclops into some kind of harness more suited to holding ships than anything person shaped.

"Even we help have hobbies after all! Now, Off we go! To ADVENTURE!"

"AVENTER!"

Koga and Cyclops cried out with their fists in the air, echoing over the water filled cave.

You felt yourself twitch even as you gave your own half-hearted 'yay, adventure.'

You wanted to go to bed now.

END OF CHOICE

HA! We finally picked Koga for something! Ahh, this is great. SO, we finally find out what Koga does when we aren't around. He chisels and mines out space around us to stash things for gags, or practical purposes! In this case, he built a little cave system for Cyclops leading out to the ocean, where he's taught him both how to fish, instill a love of swimming in one of the few things bigger than himself, and how to count to 12! So productive.

This'll be so much fun.
