Age:18
Gender:Male
Race:Human
Appearance:http://shojolover.files.wordpress.co...glassesboy.jpg
Short Bio:Koji was encouraged from a very young age to study and be academic in his pursuits by his entire family. All of them had very well paying jobs in respectable fields and encouraged Koji to follow the same path which he does diligently getting A's in all his classes including PE. He does have his own interests though since he was little he'd always been interested in the supernatural and regularly purchases new books on the subject. His parents disapprove of this interest but as long as Koji keeps getting A's they won't try to stop him.
Personality:Koji tends to keep to himself. He's not shy, he just doesn't talk to people. Preferring his research over spending his excess time hanging out and doing nothing with others. Many would call him cold or unfeeling but if they actually talked to him he would be quite friendly.

Short Bio: Growing up in the netherworld her whole life Scara was regarded as an "oddity". Not interested in the daily blood contests and not as vicious as the others she tended to live more in the wilds than in the center "cities". The other demons kept calling her a human behind her back, still she is not to be trifled with as she has the heads of several who crossed her mounted outside as a gruesome warning.
Personality: Mischevious and a bit violent at times. Tends to be a temptress at times, mostly when the mood strikes.
Powers: Power over flame, Flight (given she has wings)

The day would go down as his most confusing, scary, and somewhat enthralling day of his life....

Koji's day had started like any other day, and there was only one word for that.
Routine
His morning went like clockwork nothing out of the ordinary. Same with his trip to school and most of his classes. Lunch however he noticed a few odd things, nothing a few second glances didn't wipe away. but the feeling was there. Like during lunch he could have sworn someone had become a werewolf when he wasn't looking. The thought was ridiculous and on a second look it was obvious they'd just decided to start growing a beard, but again he couldn't shake the feeling all day that something was off. On the way home he could have sworn the clouds were chasing him. Shaking his head for the umpteenth time that day Koji shook it off or tried too. Once home he headed to his room tonite was the night he didn't have any chores til after dinner 2-3 hours later.

"Lets see..." grabbing one of his books on the arcane from it's hiding spot he hugged it to his chest. This book "Noctum" was his source for anything supernatural that he wanted to know about. The book was huge with well over 1500 pages on anything supernatural. Slamming the book down on his bed gently thanking whatever being allowed him to find the book in the dusty forgotten shelves of an old bookstore that was running out of buisness. the owner seemed very glad to get rid of it and reduced the price even further when Koji asked for a price....

Shaking his head and bringing himself back to the present Koji opened the book and flipped through the book looking at the titles of pages looking to find something interesting to read. As he got to the spells section of the book he paused on a page "Huh...well this looks good enough." The top of the page read "Commuting spells" and was filled with various spells and basic descriptions of the use of the spells "there's all sorts of wierd stuff here..." running his finger down the page he read some of the spell titles "turn yourself into a bird for air travel...fish for water...huh there's even one for breathing when you need to travel where there isn't air, heh traveling in space like that would freak people out.....Oh? Whats this?" as hs finger reached the bottom of the page a teleportation spell rested under his finger reading the descripion the spell seemed pretty simple. Something else was written in the corner of the page but the handwriting was horrible and Koji couldn't read it. Trying to think why there would be all the other spells if there was a teleportation spell "must be for advanced wizards so theres no harm in reading the words right? I'm by no means advanced enough to actually pull this off." standing in the middle of his room he holds the book in his hands as he reads off the words"Edro i' men a' maranwe"And something odd happens...he starts sinking into the ground looking around he tries to shake the feeling from him sure this was another trick of the wierd day. When he continued to sink and nothing changed he started to panic putting the book down and reaching out for something to help him stop sinking at least. However because he moved to the middle of the room there was nothing within reach. His mind began to spin trying to figure out what was going on. The last thing that went through his head as it got swallowed up by his floor was that he hoped his parents didn't throw away the Noctum.

Suddenly he felt like he was rushing through the air in a sort of a freefall he couldn't see anything around him but this one pinprick of light he was flying at. As he got closer the light intensified till he had to close his eyes. all of a sudden something hard hit him heavily in the gut and the light went away.. opening his eyes he found himself hanging on a rather thick tree branch.Looking around he tried to figure where he was. looking to his left and right he saw the tree was part of a larger forest that bordered a road of a surburban neighboorhood...then his blood chilled as he made one crucial observation...Those aren't human's casually walking the sidewalks...they're subernatural beings like from the noctum.....

[[now this isn't a normal post size for me..more like two and a half posts...]]

((Understandable, but you had to get the premise down, lol))

Scara awoke to the light of the blood red sun. Growling she rolled out of bed and dressed. For the most part her day was fairly normal. Slaughter a few imps hiding in her cupboard, pick up meat from the butcher and generally avoid contact with most of the other demons. However while she was out she kept having this strange feeling. Something was off. Spreading her wings she gave them a great flap and flew up above the town. Looking to find what was off. Everything looked in place, the females were all fighting over the latest male to become "available", the daily blood sport rounds were on and the rest were just wandering around the neighborhood.

Suddenly a great gust of wind picked up almost knocking her out of the sky. Thinking it an attack she prepared a ball of flame in one hand, what she saw next surprised her so much she dropped the ball on a werewolf below. A human male fell from the sky and landed on a branch in the tree below her. How in the Nether did he get here?she thought as she swooped lower for a look. This doesn't look like one of Narini's slaves. He's in too well of shape. He looks like how they dress up top. Looking up she saw that dark clouds had gathered and were swirling around. Recognizing the signs of a portal her eyes widened. Oh crap. If Luc get's wind of this he's doomed. Carefully she landed on a tree branch above the human to see what he'd do next.

Koji gulped hard as he came to terms with the fact that several different beings, including a werewolf who looked like he'd recently been on fire. Looking around Koji's first thought was to get down, so he reached down to try and grab a branch a little down and to the left of him it looked sturdy enough to hold him while he continued to climb down. Reaching it he slid off the first branch and transfered his weight to the one he was starting to climb down with. Once he'd moved to that branch he looked down to see how far he was from the ground being 6 feet tall made jumping down form trees fairly easy for him. Unfortunately the branch he was on had different plans as it cracked loudly and began to break OH SHI- without thinking any more,movement fueled by adrenaline Koji tried swinging himself to a nearby branch before the one he was using broke...He let go too late... as he swung to the new branch his snapped off and he fell a little faster then he wanted to and the branch slammed into his chest for the second time that day and he continued to tumble out of the tree very painfully finally landing hard on his back looking up inot the tree

Laying still he knew one thing for sure. This much pain meant he had to be awake. Groaning he checks his body to see if anything was broken. Going really slowly over his ribcage amazed that no ribs had broken despite the fierce throbbing pain in his chest. After a bit more laying on the ground in pain he opens his eyes slowly. Staring through the branches he notices something.... his body knew what to do before his brain realizes what's going on...A Demon was staring right at him watching him... clambering to his feet he slowly tried to limp into the forest to get away but collapsed a few feet past the treeline...My body's out of adrenaline...I can't move anymore he said softly as he closed his eyes in defeat and pain....

Scara folded her wings close and watched as the human attempted to climb down the tree. She noticed he was tall for his form, but not tall compared to the demons around here. Most ranged in height from 6' 6" - 12' at least. Shaking her head she watched as he tried to support himself on a branch that had a slight crack in it. That's not going to work she thought and sure enough the branch gave a loud crack and he began to fall. Scara watched as he pinballed off of several branches before landing on his back. A few gave a look at what had happened but when they saw her sitting in the tree they cleared off. Not wanting to get in the way of what they thought would happen. That had to hurt.... She watched as he opened his eyes and spied her watching him. How interesting, he didn't scream like the rest do... She watches as he limps toward the trees That is not the best place for him to go Extending her wings she leaps out of the tree and flies over to the woods where he's laying. Landing next to him she pokes him with her tail to see if he's still alive.

Koji heard the demon leap from the tree and land next to him. Why isn't she killing me or something..? Koji thought for a minute before grimacing sightly. The grimace turned into a moan of pain as he felt himself get poked in the side of the ribs. he slowly moved his arms instinctively to cover the area where he'd peen poked to try and stop whatever was poking him stop but touching his chest in general was pain like he'd never felt before and he quickly let his hands fall to the side as another groan of pain uttered from his lips. Laying still he opened his eyes slowly and looked to the demon hovering over him. He noted her tail poised over his ribs obviously it was what had poked him. he opened his mouth to say something what he said didn't matter he was clearly in the clutches, so to speak, of the demon hovering over him. He shifted his head and weight to get a better look at the demon girl. "Please..." it was all he could mutter the rest of the request was lost to pain and terror. Comming in and out of conciousness from the pain a thought flashed through his head if i wasn't so scared....I'd call her beautiful the thought flashed through his head as quickly as it came, barely letting him recognise the thought. amidst all the terror and pain he couldn't help feeling a bit thrilled that he was able to see a real demon regardless of what she might do to him.

Scara watched as pain showed on his face when she poked him with her tail. Hmm..I guess he isn't dead. She tilted her head and looked him over. She'd really never been this close to a living human, she'd seen a few of Nirini's slaves but they weren't exactly living nor human. She heard him mutter please and before she could blink she had a fireball ready to incinerate him. Wait, he's not a demon... Closing her eyes she controlled her anger, a demon this hurt saying please was considered a disgrace. Looking around she noticed that he was starting to draw attention from the pain feeders. Hmm..I can't really leave him here... biting her lower lip she thought about it for a while. Leaning down she picked him up and draped him over one shoulder like he weighed almost nothing. Turning she walked back to her place, which was close to the woods. Growling at and blasting the few who got in her way. Maybe they'll think I'm taking him back as a slave or as food and leave me be. She wanted to know more about this human, esp how he got here. Barring the door behind her to prevent him from escaping she went and laid him down on a cot she had in a small room normally reserved for her "dinner" guest. Standing over him she tried to think of what to do.

Finally settling on sa half consious state Koji was barely aware of what was happening to him. He felt himself be lifted up as well as every stem made by his carrier. he heard some growling and what sounded like one way fights mostly. but then he zoned out for a bit. Suddenly aware of the fact that he was on a bed of sorts. some of his sharper temporary pain had started to fade away, leaving him with the dull painfull ache in his chest. With the pain leaving him he was also gaining a bit more energy and he was able to open his eyes. again his vision was filled with the demon standing over him making it that much clearer that he was in her home, and she was the one who'd been carrying him. As he lay ther he stayed silent but questions wizzed through is head first and formost was...Why,,, nothing more just the simple word that formed a very complex answer.. he thought about asking her something made him think she may answer but he didn't want to take the chance. taking a slow deep breath and letting it out slowly. he tried not to grimace or wince as he breathed the majority of his pain still in the chest.
Another deep breath and he was able to do it without wincing this time. looking around the room he wondered what the room was for. Maybe she was going to prepare him to be sacrificed...thoughts raced through his head both thrilling and terrifying as he watched her and waited to find out what she was going to do.

Looking around the room Scara tried to figure out what a human would think. There was only one small window with thick bones for bars shedding feeble light within. The walls had some old bloodstains, there were a few bones on the floor, and the small fireplace (for when she wanted to roast them) had the remains of the last one to cross her path. Perfectly acceptable by demon standards. Taking a closer look at him now that no one was trying to eat him, for the moment anyway, she saw that while his shirt had been torn he didn't appear to be bleeding. Noticing he was shaking she threw a fireball and lit a fire, illuminating the room more. He's not half bad looking for a human. she thought, looking at his face as he opened his eyes to look at her. Wait, what am I thinking. Shaking her head she turned and walked out of the room, leaving the door open, as she went to sit in her chair in the den. I'll leave the door open, it's not like he's going anywhere. No human could lift that bar. That and I wonder what he'll do. He's not quite like the others I've brought here, he hasn't screamed or begged for mercy. He just might live a few days before I tire of him. Mind you he's also a human while the others were lesser demons. Leaning back in her chair she lit the fireplace next to her, her shadow cast on the wall where the boy was, all the while lost in thought.

Koji Lay in his cot a bit longer after the demoness left him in the rather dismal room making his ideas about what might happen to him a bit grim. After a while he tried to sit up and maybe move around the room. Much grimacing later he was sitting up on the cot he'd been placed on, his mind now spun on how he could be there in the first place and how he might be able to get home.

looking to the doorway he noticed the demon's shadow on the wall in the next room..what do i call her? Captor? or savior? slowly standing up Koji moves about his room not daring to leave incase that meant a fireball to his flesh because he left his room he'd seen her throw atleast one fireball to light the one fire that was currently going in his room. as a chill ran up his spine from his thinking of what she might do to himhe went and squatted by the fire warming himself from the chilling thoughts running through his head.

Staring into the flames Scara tried to decide what to do about the human in the next room. Should she keep him? eat him? torture him to get information on how he got here? Turn him over to Luc? There were too many possibilities of how things could go wrong. Hearing noise come from the next room she looked out of the corner of her eye to see his shadow on the door. It appears he wasn't hurt too badly in that fall. Wonder what he'll do.

Turning her head she looked out the front window as Luc's personal guard went tromping by. Growling she thought Ah Nether, now I've got to keep him. If I let him out of the house it's death for sure. Luc would want to get his hands on the boy to find out how he opened the portal. Luc or Lucifer, as she should call him, had been wanting to lead a demonic army up to the top world for centuries. Her eyes glowed softly as she tried not to burn down her house in rage.

Koji, nicely warmed by the fire, Stood up with a bit of a start hearing footsteps oddly enough it gave him some sort of comfort to feel his adrenaline pump again. As the footsepts grew and then faded past the little window he looked down at himself to see the damage done. The pain had completely gone away and now he was able to think a bit straighter. Only a ripped shirt...i would have thought more would have happened to me in that fall. reaching into his pockets he checked what was in them and if anything could be of use. The contents of his pockets were pretty dim when considering where he was. All he had was his wallet, a pencil, a pen, some scrap pieces of paper, and a pocket knife he'd bought himself for his birthday a year or two ago. He didn't know why he always carried it around with him usually but as far as he could figure, it was his most useful possession for the situation.Putting most of his stuff back into his pocket he opened his knife with a soft "click" and examined the blade. He didn't really know what he was doing.. I guess it just makes me feel better that everything about it is still working.

After putting his pocket knife away he moves to the doorway of his room looking to the other room for the demoness. seeing her facing away from him he takes a deep breath calming and steeling himself to the question he was now only able to ask "What do you plan to do with me?...you've had plenty time to do whatever to me... but you haven't .... i've even had enough time to recover from my fall..." Koji kept his voice even and calm he was making a guess that the amount that he'd spoken so far. Which was very little...had been keeping him alive. And he didn't want the wrong tone of voice, when he actually did talk, to set her off.

Hearing the faint click of a blade Scara thinks to herself Ah, so the little man has a fang. Let's see if he's dumb enough to try and use it. An almost cruel smile appears on her face while she listens. After a minute or two she hears the click of the blade being folded back. Smart boy, that'll let you live a little longer. Once she had someone try and take her on with a knife, needless to say it didn't end well for them.

Returning her gaze to the fire she once again tried to decide what to do about her new "guest". I've never really dealt with one like him. I should figure out how he got here. Perhaps I can just put him back...but no. He's seen too much. He'll either have to stay here for the rest of his life or die.... Her thoughts were interrupted by the boy asking a question. Standing she turned to face him, the fire to her back. Are you in that much of a hurry to die? Flicking her tail from side to side, she stretched her wings out while looking at him. She had to give him some credit, not many were brave enough to talk to her. There's so many different options, it's hard to decide. she grinned I could cook you, sell you, keep you as a slave, hunt you, turn you over to Lucifer... She waited to see his reaction.

Koji expected the reaction on some level but that didn't stop him from taking a step back as she unfolded her wings. taking a deep breath he put his hands in his pockets his one hand griping firmly on his knife to give himself some inner courage. Looking back to her he pauses before answering amazed at how impressive she was. a dose of healthy fear allowing him to hear all her options of what to do with him.

Taking another calming breath he steadied his voice again as he responded. " I'd prefer to live...here...If that means i'm you're slave then ok... but i realize you call the shots...I won't beg and plead to try and change your mind Koji's voice started out strong but began to falter near the end. It didn'waver and he didn't studder it could just be heard in his voice, a slow realization of defeat. Sighing deeply Koji thought IF...i become her slave..hopefully it won't be too bad....that of course requires she chooses that option He waited for her to dismiss him, or whatever she was going to decide to do.

Smirking she watched him take a step back when she stretched her wings. Good, He still shows a healthy amount of fear. Scara chuckled softly as she watched him reach into his pocket for his fang, narrowing her eyes she watched as all he did was hold it. Folding her wings back she looked him over. He had survived a fall into, and out of, a decent sized tree. Perhaps she could find a use for him.

She slowly walked over to stand just in front of him. Now that he was on his own feet she could see he was fairly tall for his race. Scara was just a head taller than he was. She walked around him while thinking He looks like he's got a bit of muscle to him, needs to eat a bit more, he's a touch skinny for my tastes. I'm sure that after a while of "helping" me we'll have that fixed. Scara was now more thankful she lived on the outskirts where it would be easier to hide and explain having a slave. In the city, slaves had to be registered, so that way there'd be no issues on ownership. She'd have to stop by the smithy tomorrow to see about a collar. The other advantage she had was her yard was surrounded by trees in the back, so no one would really see him working, and he couldn't escape. Reaching out she grabbed his chin and tilted his head back so she could look him straight in the eyes. Good. I have zero tolerance for begging and as you said what I say goes. If you don't understand something then say so. I'd rather you admit your faults than risk your life. Listen and do what I say and live. Disobey and I turn you over to Lucifer. Yes, the big bad demon you hear tales about is real and just as cruel. He wants nothing more than to get into your world and enslave, terrorize and rule your people. He knows you're here and wants to know how you got here. Right now I'm the only thing standing between you and him. She told him that last bit of information to see his reaction. Scara never really had someone in her house she didn't intend to torture or eat so she figured this would be a good way to observe and get to know the information she wanted.

Koji stiffened a bit as she got closer involuntarily preparing himself for whatever happens. When she started circling him he started to let himself believe that she was going to let him live as her slave. he stayed perfectly still as she grasped his chin and and listened closely to her instructions echoing them in his head so he'd remember and never forget. When she mentioned Lucifer his eyes widened a bit and he swallowed. As if that information was not only being told him but being fed him. The fear of that result shown in his eyes a bit more than in the swallow, but he still stayed firm and didn't collapse from the fear. Maybe because he'd always been facinated with the world he'd been thrown into but although being turned over to lucifer was a terrible result he was still abe to stand and recieve the information.Another gulp of air to calm him allowed Koji to speak as well. "I understand....my first question is what would you have me call you?" Koji thought for asecond about naming some usual human titles, but that was just the issue they were HUMAN titles. He didn't know if they applied the same here. Guessing on something like that sounded like a bad idea.

Some part of him started to think what would have happened if he'd been found by someone else or if he'd been trying to get home on his own what would he have run into. He should probably count himself lucky he was still alive. thank you... he thought to her quietly not believing that weakness would be met well and so he kept quiet. waiting for her response his grip loosening on his knife. allowing him to realize just how tightly he'd been gripping it.

Scara saw fear in his eyes at the mention of Lucifer's name. Good at least he's aware that Luc is to be feared. She had to admit that she was slightly impressed with the fact he didn't faint or wet himself. At least he's got some backbone to him and understands I hold his life in my hands. His question made her pause for a minute, she'd never really thought about it as her previous slave had his tongue ripped out after being vulgar, then was tortured and eaten shortly thereafter.

For now you shall call me Madame, behave well enough and I may let you know my name. I expect respect from you also. So mind your..how does that human phrase go..oh yes, mind your P's and Q's. If I give you something, bow and say thank you. Satisfied he understood her she let go of his chin and folded her arms across her chest trying to decide what to have him do now.

As he was released Koji found himself releasing a small breath of air he wasn't aware he'd been holding. As Madame stood infront of him done with her instructions he bowed slightly to her "Thank you Madame for giving me my life.." The phrase came out a bit odd but he hoped she understood he was thanking her for more than just making him her slave and sparing his life that way. He stood still waiting for an order or dismissal from her.

As he stood there he took the time to think to himself. thinking himself lucky for the situation he was in despite the feeling that things were going to get a lot more difficult before they got easier. The first thing that he was going to devote whatever freetime he had to, was how he got here then maybe how he was going to go home. But that brought up another thought, seemingly out of the blue, what if he changed into something that belonged here so he wouldn't have to leave...thats a ridiculous thought...how would i do that? he told himself. However, the thought wouldn't fully leave and held a certian charm he couldn't deny

Scara tilted her head and looked at her new slave...yet somehow that didn't seem to fit right. Hmm..instead of "slave" I think I'll think of him as my "servant". Sounds much better. While trying to think of something for him to do she heard a series of small screeches come from her cupboards. Turning her head quickly she got ready to blast them. Wait... a smile toyed with the corners of her mouth This will be the perfect first task for my servant. He seems so interested in my world... She could tell that much from looking in his eyes and the expression on his face when he first arrived in the Nether.

Servant, I have my first task for you. Rid my cupboards of those blasted imps. They eat my food, contaminate my dishes and are generally pests. They'd be almost equivalent of your... she thought back for a minute to her human studies Ah, to the rats of your world. Though they are no where near as hideous. Grinning Scara put her hand on her hip and waited to see how this would go.

Koji's eyes darted over to where the screeches came from for a second before returning his attention to his Madam. and not too long afterward she gave him his first task. He listened intently to her description of the task and to her description of the imps being the rats of the world. "Yes Madam, I'll go take care of them.." Bowing to her before leaving Koji goes off into the kitchen to complete the task.

Koji's first task was easier said then done the were several imps to be found and taken care of, not to mention the ones who ran and had to be caught those were the worst. However through all his task Koji never spoke unnecessarily or loudly performing the whole job without much complaint minus a few groans as the imps figured out his chest was a weak spot from the fall.

As he finished the job he stood over a medium sized pile of dead imp bodies killing them being the only way to stop them from moving and a habit from when he had to clean rats out of his own house with his father. Not knowing what to do with them he called out "Madam...? shall I just throw them away? or do you have another use for them?" Even though she'd told him to ask questions to clarify he was slightly cautious about bothering her.

[[sorry it took a while to respond...had to study for a midterm last night and i just kind of had to let my head rest for a bit after the midterm was over...but i was determined to post by the end of tonite at least once]]

Scara folded her arms across her chest and watched as he proceeded into the kitchen. She watched as he caught them and killed them. Well, at least he's not squeamish about killing things. He's passed the first test. She winced slightly as she watched one particularly large imp ram the boy in the chest. He doesn't cry out like a weakling either. He's passed another test.

She watched as he quickly piled up the bodies. Uncrossing her arms she walked over to the bodies and frowned at them. She could just burn them here and now...but..she came up with a better idea. Out back and to the side, you'll find an area marked by flat stones laid in a circle. Pile the bodies there, we'll burn them. Nasty things. Make sure to gather some wood to make the fire nice and hot. Swinging her tail in anticipation of a bonfire Scara began to gather a few things from her cupboards.

((It's alright. I remember what school was like. If/when you've got another big test coming up just drop me a PM and let me know. Esp if you need a break. :) ))

"Understood Madam" opening the door to the back he uses one of the bodies of the imps to prop open the door. Still on a task Koji quickly found the circle of stones and dumps the bodies next to the circle going back and getting the one propping the door open as well. Walking around the edge of the yard he grabs some kindling for the fire and dumps it by the imps. Finally he goes and grabs some decent sized wood to have nearby to keep feeding the fire.

After a bit of doing Koji had a fire ready to be set. he'd used the imp's bodies as if they were starter logs propping up the kindling and regular wood to get plenty of airflow so the fire would start quickly and easily. Satisifed with his work he gets up from his squatting position grimacing as he feels his chest move. This day had not been kind to it. Now standing he called out "Madam? the fire is ready to be started"

Scara found the few small vessels she was looking for. Those things stink so bad when they burn. Just as she found the last one she was looking for she heard him call out that things were prepared. Heading out back she noticed the blood sun had set and the blood moon was out. Briefly she wondered what color the moon was where the boy was from, shaking her head she walked over to where he was standing.

Walking around the pile Scara noticed it was well set up. Standing on the side opposite from her servant she stared down into the core of the pile, letting her rage build until her eyes began to glow. Focusing she caught the imps hairs on fire and watched as the rest quickly caught. Soon the fire was raging, opening the jars in her hands she sprinkled various powders on the fire. It crackled and changed color with each addition. With the last dash the fire returned to it's normal reds and oranges. Setting the jars down on a bench Scara went over to stand next to her servant.

Koji smiled to himself as Madam came up to the fire with no complaints. So far he'd been doing good by her. She'd made it very clear what would happen if he did a poor job of his tasks. As she walked over he noticed the moon above them. Woah a blood moon he kept his expression calm despite the excitement within from seeing an actual blood moon. The closest it got to a blood moon in the real world was a coloration based on the smog in the air from cities or factories.

As she started the fire and started adding pinches of various powders into the fire changing the color with every addition. it was all Koji could do to not stare at the entire process. He was interested in the world that was to be his home for the time being, incredibly interested, but he wasn't about to look like a stupid or fanatical fool in front of Madam. He did watch carefully making mental notes concerning the process in case She ever needed or wanted Koji to do it. As she moved over to stand by him he admired her for a moment before asking "Madam? may I ask to be taught about this world while i live here under you? when you have the time of course...." in the back of his mind he smacked himself over the back of the head for asking for something so early.. he'd only completed 2 tasks that she'd given him hardly enough to merit him asking for something.
