one time that this komo was disappointed: Elwin enjoys photography quite a bit. They have a high-quality camera and have practiced for years. However, Elwin was taking a picture of some plant life near a bog when their camera fell into the murky water. They bought a new one, but will never forget their old, trusty camera.
-
extra of your choice: Elwin called goodbye to his brother and headed outside into the sweltering heat. It was so hot Elwin was sweating in minutes. The marketplace was bustling; Elwin had trouble making it through the large, noisy crowds. Elwin eventually padded into Tori's Groceries and pulled out their grocery list.

Lettuce
Tomato Soup
Carrots
Cream Of Wheat
Plastic Spoons

So Elwin set off, turning left and right and going up and down aisles. As they reached the aisle where Cream Of Wheat was shelved, they ran into an odd komo. The como was pure white, and was wearing a blue cloak; their eyes were misty and it seemed to be blind. Elwin tried to walk away, but the odd komo blocked their path.

"You have great potential." It declared. Elwin was confused as to what it meant, but brushed their way past the odd komo.

"Where are you going?" It asked. "You need a mentor."

By now Elwin was even more confused, but they kept walking briskly until the komo grabbed them by the shoulders. "Come with me," it said, voice raspy. "You will help your family greatly by doing this."

Elwin shivered. They didn't like this komo.

But it would not loosen its grip on Elwin's shoulders. Elwin eventually was forced to follow as the strange komo led him out of the store, past a road, through a forest, and into a small hut.

"I-I should be getting back to my family," Stuttered Elwin. "Nonsense." Replied their kidnapper. "Your family will not worry. They have bigger things to worry about."

Elwin nodded slowly, not wanting to know what the kidnapper meant by that. "I have to use the restroom.." They said slowly. "Of course." answered the odd komo.

Elwin padded to the bathroom right around the corner and dug a hole out of the house. They padded home to see a scary surprise.

Elwin's mother had fallen ill with cancer. She probably wasn't going to make it. Elwin hadn't seen his mother in weeks, but they assumed she was on a business trip. They were clearly wrong.

"You will help your family greatly by doing this." "Your family will not worry. They have bigger things to worry about." "You need a mentor."

The strange komo was trying to teach them to become a healer to help their mom.

one time that this komo was disappointed:
Dear, Sasha David-Green;

Javen Green. A child of wonders; a miracle. An absolute miracle and a blessing.
But you could say the real miracle was the desperation in which he put forward, hardly clinging on to what he had left of himself.

Javen was bipolar. Extremely so. And in his depressive episodes, he could feel himself slipping away. Javen knew who he was and he wasn't just his disorder.

Until the day Randy Green was arrested for arson, he had never had a manic episode.

And that's the day it came crumbling down.

Shoved to numerous doctors and hospitals, one thing was clear. Javen wasn't functioning like he should.

He was always treated like something he knew he wasn't. Everything seemed wrong to Javen, he couldn't think straight. Always What's wrong with him? Is he okay? Dude, calm down. What is he doing?

And the word. Bipolar.

It haunted him, more than that haunting image of his father, being dragged away. His maniacal screams and that glare he gave Javen. The first time he had hit Javen. The time he had sat with Javen and told h-

"Javen, are you paying attention?"

It didn't matter now. Javen was 16, close to moving on with his life. He tapped his pencil against his desk and looked up. "Hm? Someone say my name..?"

Giggles erupted from the classroom.

"Yes, Mr. Green, that would be me." The teacher cleared his throat and resumed teaching.
The day was already going horribly. He couldn't wait to get home to his mom.

When Javen got home that day, his momma, Madison Green, was nowhere to be found. He wandered the house, searching for her, but signs of hope began to fade. A spark fluttered in his heart, however, when he heard a sob from outside.

"Hm? Mom?" he called. No response. He went outside and there she was; doubled over, crying.

"M-mom? You okay?"

"Oh, Javen.." She sniffled and stood up, and buried her head in Javen's chest. She was much shorter than he was, and he held her close. "What happened?" he asked softly. "Is everything alright?"

She wiped her nose and looked up at him. "Your dad."

"What about him?"

"Dead in prison. H-he, um, well, I don't really know what happened, no one does.. and I don't know why I'm crying. I guess part of me still loves him and me- I can't trust myself, Javen! How can I love a man like that?"

Javen's eyes went wide. "Dead in prison. Dead.. in prison." He tapped his finger on his mother's back, thinking for a few seconds, then pulled away. "Momma, it's okay. You know I miss him too, he's not - he wasn't.." Javen shook his head.

"Momma, go inside, okay? You get some rest. I'll go to the store, okay, get us some dinner. Call me if you need me, I'll be back soon, okay?"

And he never came back. Not for months. Not for years.

The search for Javen came to an end on 4/6/17 when he was found unconscious in a swamp. But the real Javen never came back, he went home, took care of his mother- but a part of him died the day his father was found dead in prison.

It is now 4/6/18. I am Javen Green, and I know that I'm not me. Something took over, and I'm writing this to tell you I won't be back for a long time. But I love you, and don't forget me. But don't wait for me. Move on, but never forget.
Keep me in your heart, keep this letter by the wardrobe, and know that you will forever be my one and only.
I can't pretend to be the old me, so it's past due that I find myself. I'm sorry to be such a let-down, and trust me when I say you're not the only one disappointed. I am too. That I couldn't be enough.

Love, Javen.

name: Hunter Marsh
gender/pronouns: Male / He,Him
one time that this komo was disappointed:
Hunter had lived in the swamp all his life, coming from a long line of healers. They used wild plants to make medicine for komo's who couldn't afford to buy medicine. But that's not important, it's his mistake trying to win the love of his life that were going to talk about.
He met her while looking for herbs His eyes were drawn to she gorgeous mint eyes as she read the pages of her book, her golden blonde hair that shined in the light softly as she sat but then he noticed something interesting about her, her tail. It's shape was nothing like he'd ever seen, a broken heart. He tried to move closer and stepped in some mud making a lough squishy sound alerting her. He's barely makes out a "sorry I-" when she quickly gets up and leaves, nearly tripping and getting stuck in mud along the way. He couldn't let her leave without knowing her name, he went after her, avoiding all the wet spots and gets ahead of her and stops her, " Wait! please tell me your name.My name is Hunter, what's yours?" he asked smiling at her. She replies shyly looking down,"I'm..Alice, Alice Mintly". He asked her why she was all the way out here, she replied she wanted somewhere quite to read her book. He nodded and made her a offer "My family lives in this swamp, you can come here anytime you want, only if you promise to visit me." She though long and hard, but the promise of a nice quite place to read was very tempting and he seemed nice.
After some time had past the two became every close with her coming as often as she can and even meeting his family one time for supper though there was one thing that kept bugging him that she wouldn't talk about, her tail. He'd ask her over and over again why her tail was like that an all she'd say was it's a family trait and to not touch it. But it kept driving him nuts, He HAD to know about it. He looked though all his family's books and in one of his families old books there was a picture of a tail similar to hers and it explained it was a rare defect that caused the tail to rip and forum a new shape.He then read that it the tail painful for some who have the trait and a special cream to help with the pain. He figured maybe that it, why she doesn't talk about it or let him touch it, it's to painful to even acknowledge it. He then began to make the cream for her, " If I do this and show her I understand her pain maybe she'll like me more" he though.The next day he waited for her at their meeting spot, but then he began to think, what if it hurts her to touch it herself? What if she's scared to do it? So he decided he'd offer to put it on her tail, he nodded at himself proudly " This way she'll see I'm gentle and caring too." he though. Once she arrived he smiled bright, she sat next to him and asked him what he was smiling about.
He told her how he found out about her tail from a old book and how he made this cream for her to help with the pain. She looked down a mix of fear and sadness on her face, she thanked him but she didn't need it, he said it's fine and offered to put it on but she looked up in fear and told him " No, don't touch it. Please..". He smiled and moved closer saying he could help but then he heard her scream in pain and he was confused, till he looked down. He was stepping on her tail. she yelled for him to move and once he did she left. He looked down, disappointed in himself, he was so careless he hurt the girl he loved. Now she hates him. For weeks he sulked till one day he heard a voice "Hunter..hunter?" he looked up and saw Alice, he was happy but then he looked down and hid his face in shame asking her why she was here. She sat next to him and told him she was sorry for not telling him about her tail and yelling at him. He was in shock she was apologizing, he shock his head and told her she did nothing wrong and he was the jerk for hurting her and her feelings. He smiled and lied her head on his shoulder " your not a jerk, your the sweet guy I love".. his eyes widen, hugging her close he knew he was forgiven..

the first date:
Hunter was nervous, he was leaving the swamp and going to met her parents and go on their first date. Though to be fair Alice was nervous too but that was to be expected. They were walking to her home but they could hear murmuring and not just one or two people murmuring like but ALOT of people, like a whole crowd. Alice looked scared "oh no.." she said, Hunter looked confused and reassured her " It'll be ok Alice, I'm sure it'll be fine." he said and opened the door. Oh boy was he wrong, as he opened the door he saw a bunch of Komo's come and greet them. Seems Alice's parents invited the whole family to come and meet her new boyfriend..lovely. Alice looked scared but smiled shyly as she moved closer to Hunter, "o-oh Hello everyone..". "I'm so sorry dear but once your grandmother found out she suggested we have a big party, wont that be fun?' her mother replied happily, Hunter looked at Alice they were suppose to just meet them then go on their date to the park. "Um..well y-yes but we were gonna go to the park.." Alice said looking down, "Oh you can stay for a little while, they all want to meet him." replied her dad, though he wasn't too happy about his daughter dating a boy he didn't know all too well. Alice sighed and looked at Hunter to see if he's ok with that and he replied with a smile " Sure we can stay for a bit.". They went in and boy, it was bad from her grandmother telling hunter embarrassing stories about her when she was a baby to her dad asking him 20 million questions about his family and what his plans are for the future with Alice, her cousin knocking the punch bowl over and spilling it all over them... After a while they sneaked out of the house and sighed, "I'm sorry about that.." she told him looking down, her hair covering her eye. "It's ok, It was fun an I got to learn more about you and your family" he replied smiling at her gently nuzzling her cheek with his nose. She blushed lightly and nuzzled back with a smile on her face, they walked to the park slowly and sat on the grass watching the sunset. Once it got late he walked her back home after checking seeing if all her relatives had left. They said goodnight to each other and after kissing his cheek she goes inside to bed, "Best. Night. Ever" he said quietly, paw on his cheek as he walks home happy.
