This only just occurred to me.

What if they were sentient and could see what you were doing, being unable to do anything but watch and roleplaying is one of the few breaks they get, as it somewhat gives them a body?

This is honestly freaking me out a little now.

So, what I want you to do here is flip the coin.

If it lands heads, you'll become your fursona.

If it lands tails, your fursona will show up the next day and become best friends with you.

If it lands on its edge, you get to choose.

Post with the results, would you kindly?

Edit: Well, I now have a maniac demolitionist as an ally...

Here it is! The Travelers is back! I will attempt to do a part a week but it may be crazy the first couple parts due to upcoming finals. Sky is the fursona of /u/scamer38. Lucario is the fursona of /u/Lucario117.

It was close to dawn at a lone shack, near the town. The shack was that of hardened mud bricks with a wood and hay roof. Square holes made the windows, allowing the house to be cool on this summer night.

In one of its rooms was a young female pangolin, preparing herself to sneak out of the house. On a stool in her room was a pile of papers, each one having been delivered weekly until the last month. As she put on the tunic and trousers to disguise her gender, Mel looked at a letter that had been delivered a month before. At the bottom was the signature of her long-lost brother, Wilfr, who had gone missing in the king’s army. Mel, against all warnings her parents had given, vowed to find out what had happened to her brother.

After making sure she had her dagger and letter in her bag, Mel put it on her shoulder, then climbed through the window. After landing softly on the grass, she looked around, waiting for any sound that warned any observers. When she found the rosy part of the sky foreshadowing the sun, she moved on into the direction of the sun, walking to the castle five miles from there.

Clang! The sound of sword clashes filled the arena. Lucario, holding a half-eaten piece of bread, looked in suspense at the battle happening between Sky and his foe. After parrying off a thrust, the cheetah twirled around the big knight and managed to hit his shoulder with the blunt edge of his sword. The knight began to stumble but he still turned around, pulling his heavy mace.

Sky ducked and headed between the knight’s legs, managing to use his red scarf to tangle up his footsteps. With that tangled and standing up again, he pulled and brought the knight down with a mighty clash. The cheetah put the point of his sword on the knight’s chest, breathing heavily.

“The winner is Sky!” A coyote announced of the arena. The cheetah reluctantly pulled his sword off the chest and let the knight go. “He has yet to be defeated!” The announcer continued.

Sky took off his chest armor, the only piece he had worn throughout the battle, and sat next to his companion, Lucario. The two of them had arrived at Welsborg, a town near the Welsh, in the 1300’s to meet a friend of Sky’s and to join the Olivian festival. The festival was dedicated to the Olivian shooting stars that would happen that very night.

“Why do you keep that scarf on?” The pokemon asked his friend.

“Because I’m wearing a short sleeved tunic,” the cheetah replied back as he turned his head to greet a lion in armor. This was Knight Luric, the very friend Sky was visiting at this place. The Lord of the town was away helping his king so he had appointed Luric as the leader while he was gone.

The lion slapped Sky’s back hard, making him shift forward a little. “Well done out there Sky! I was sure you weren’t going to make it out!”

“You know me long enough to know I’m tough.” The cheetah replied back.

“How do you two know each other again?” Lucario asked curiously.

“I helped him with some sirens that were killing his people a while ago.” Sky leaned into Lucario’s ear, “Between you and me, I tried to drown them in the sea but they evolved into whales.”

“Well Sky. Shall I see you at the festival tonight?” Luric asked.

“Yes. Then me and Lucario will be going the next morning.” The cheetah replied and the lion accepted it.

Later on that night, Mel was going around, taking care of food for her knight. When the pangolin had gotten there and given the name Melgriff, a boy’s name, she had been assigned as a page to a knight. Soon, she would be a squire, than a full knight and able to find her brother.

Right now, she was carrying dishes from her knight’s table, careful to not let anyone see her feminine figure. If she wanted to stay here, the pangolin would have to wear slightly baggy clothes and a small hat.

As she turned the corner, she clanged into a Lucario and they both fell down. The stranger looked up at her and tried to mutter his apology.

“No, it’s all right.” Mel picked up the tray and bowls and headed back.

Lucario followed her with his eyes. He didn’t know why but, there was something… really nice about that boy. He shook his head. Now wasn’t really the time to start trying to figure that out. He had to find Sky.

Eventually, the pokemon found him standing by a goat, the two of them looking at the stars and the Olivian comets.

“So you are saying they are simply ice?” The goat asked Sky.

“Yes, basically meteors but made of ice.” The cheetah looked down at the goat. This person had been trying to predict Sky’s future with the heavens.

The goat laughed, rubbing his goatee. “That’s impossible. There is no way the ice in the heavens came from the north.”

“Suit yourself, Bradby.” Sky said as he looked up. A big comet came rushing down and landed somewhere upon the horizon.

“It looks like one of those comets have landed nearby.” Bradby observed.

“They always look like that.” The cheetah said endearingly. He was becoming bored at this.

“No no, I already know that. But its tail, it became a bit bigger at the end. Perhaps it really did land nearby.” Sky ignored the goat and turned around to see Lucario.

“I’m going to my room if you need me.” The cheetah walked off. The goat stared into the horizon.

The goat had been right. A couple miles from the castle, a large crater was in the ground. At the center was a clear sphere the size of a golf ball. It glowed brightly and fizzled as it rested and waited.

In a cave several miles from the comet and the castle, a dark figure looked at a drawing on the window. It was wearing a crown that shined the meager light that entered the cavern around the room, showing skeletons and stalactites.

“It has come.” The figure whispered. It turned to the skeletons. “Just as it was prophesied. Rise, and go. Destroy any obstacles and animals in your way. But bring me one for the sacrifice.” The skeletons around the room began to take shape, their bones bonding together with some unknown force. Afterwards, they walked through the wall of the cave like ghosts to do their mission.

A guard sat on a tower, eating a piece of bread in the bright early morning. The lynx heard someone come behind him and turned around. It was Luric’s guest. What was his name again? Ah yes, Sky.

“Good morning sir.” The guard bowed to the cheetah.

“Hello Phil. Tell Luric me and Lucario are going now.” Sky told him.

“But he will want to see you before you depart!” The lynx explained.

“Pity for him.” Just as Sky turned around, he caught a glimpse of something below him. “Quick Phil, look down here. What do you see?”

The guard looked down. “Why, there’s plenty of white figures coming up! But how are they doing it?”

“No need to worry about that now. Sound the alarm.” Phil took this order and rushed over to the side of the rower where there was a big bell. He pulled the rope several times, prompting the bell to ring loudly across the town and get back-up for the coming battle. Afterwards, he joined Sky who was making the skeletons let go of the wall with his scarf.

A skeleton, just as it was about to come off, suddenly grabbed the cheetah’s scarf and began dragging him down. Phil went to hold onto Sky but more skeletons kept grabbing the scarf. Eventually, the two furries got dragged down and fell off the tower.

So, I have a friend, we know eachother very well, and I believe both of us are into one another, but I don't know how I can express my interest in him...

EDIT: For clarifications sake, He is a Red Panda, I am a Dragon, I am 21, he is 19.

All answers are appreciated... Thanks...

UPDATE 1: Rejected, but I have another fur helping me through it all... I'm certainly heartbroken, but thats ok, I can get over it...

UPDATE 2: /u/Ezzej is my angel right now, he is helping me through it all, and things are steering better my way... Gotta say, people like these make the world go round IMO.

I'm hoping to get better at drawing, and thought no better way to practice than to force myself to. I'm doing free art for the first 10 commenters, just post a reference pic of your fursona. Just keep in mind though, I'm a terrible artist.
