Central Neopian Library

In one of the dark, and dusty rooms of a half forgotten wing in the Central Neopian Library, you find, in your usual study spot, a large blue kougra sprawled on the lone sofa gracing the room. A sofa, which for the last twenty two Tuesdays from the time of 8:00pm to 11:00 has been yours. The usurper seems unaware of your presence, as he thumbs through an old English text on obscure medical ailments, but someone else isn't. Up pops a small brown head from the back of the couch, followed by the rest of a young nuk as she peers curiously at you, and whispers to the kougra, "Papa, there's someone here!!"

The kougra glances up, a mildly surprised -disallowed_word-in that high pitched, sugar coated tone one reserves for dumb animals, and new neopians) that such pets rarely remained in the pound for more than a few moments, and that perhaps she should look for something more common, I felt her eyes settle on me. "What about that one?" She asked. "Is he up for adoption?

The coordinator glanced at the tag on my cell, and nodded. "He's available, if he'll have you.

I wasn't altogether keen on being shackled with another owner, as loosing my first was hard enough, but it I had no desire to spend the rest of my life in the pound, so I nodded my consent.

Wonderful." The coordinator said, unlocking my door, and stepping back. "I'll begin the paperwork.

I peered out, enjoying my first taste of freedom in over three months, only to find myself staring into the curious gaze of my new owner. "I'm Khestrel," she said, excitedly. "What's your name?

My name is Razsile," I answered. "But you can call me Raz if you would like.

Raz then," she said grinning. "It's a pleasure to meet you!

Life with Khestrel took some getting used to. Though, she discovered the ins and outs of Neopia quicker than most, we still had our share of newbie moments. The most memorable of which, I've been forbidden, to ever retell (but I will say that it involved the snowwager, and quite a bit of frostbite). Khe was quite different than my previous owner. Younger for one, louder (by much) for another. She seemed to delight in teasing me, and spent her days reading, or finding trouble to get into. She was delighted when she found out that I was a writer, and literally twisted my leg to get me to send my work into a publisher. I think she was even more excited than I was when my first novel was published, and took great joy in bragging about me to all her friends.

I was happy in my first home. I loved, and was loved. But it couldn't last forever. I am happy where I am now. I love, and am loved. But nothing lasts forever. For all my happiness, that is something I never let myself forget.

Part II

I had been with Khe for two years, when my life changed once again. I had never wanted a petpet. They were a responsibility I didn't need, but somehow there always managed to be at least a few around the house. Khe had a thing for bringing home strays, be it neopets, or petpets. I tended to keep my distance, leaving the mothering to Khe, and the unfortunate Sin and Aki whom she usually managed to con into helping her. But the night that Khe came home, followed by a very sick, very pregnant Nuk, there was no cool headed Sin, or sympathetic Aki to offer assistance. She had, Khe explained as she helped settle the nuk in a comfortable spot, found her in the woods, not far from our house. Khe had given the local petpet doctor a call, but he was dealing with another, more critical patient, and would be there as soon as he could.

So there we were: a nuk in labor, a kougra who became ill at the sight of blood, and a teenage girl whose only experience with hoofed births was sleeping through the labor of her own horse back home. We did our best, but the deck was stacked against us from the very beginning. The fawn was breech, and the mother already exhausted; with no doctor, and no medical training, we were fighting a loosing battle. By the time the doctor arrived four hours later, a tiny, perfect fawn lay snuggled next to her mother, but for her perfection, there was a price. The nuk had given all she had to bring her baby into the world, and in the end, there was nothing the doctor could do for her. Two hours later, she died.

Khe was inconsolable. She felt the death was her fault, and therefore was in no condition to care for a new born. So, the task fell to me. I didn't intend to become a father. I planned to take care of the tiny nuk, until Khe was able, or Aki or Sin returned. I planned to turn her over as soon as I could. I didn't intend to fall in love. But I did. The first time I held her in my arms, and she snuggled her small body against my fur, I was lost.

Everyone thought it was quite funny at first, the tiny nuk whom I named Nymphaea, Nym for short, trotted after me everywhere. I, the solitary member of the family, was suddenly thrust into the heart of it, as Nym drew people to her like moths to a flame. I never wanted a daughter, but I was sent one anyway, and for that, I give thanks everyday.

Khestrel
Lookup | Neomail

Khe is my 18 year old mistress. I was her first pet, so we have been together for quite a while. She is very much like me, with perhaps a little less reserve, and seems to take great pleasure in laughing at my misfortunes, but despite her somewhat twisted nature (and horrible taste in music), we understand each other, and therefore get along well.

Akir
Lookup | Petpage

Aki came into our lives only a couple of years after I was adopted by Khe. At the time, he was an up and coming stage actor with a dazzling smile and affectionate personality. These years later, only his status as an actor has changed. Fame has not detracted from Aki's charm and despite his poor taste in friends and loves, it is hard to find fault in him.

Sin
Lookup | Petpage

Sin is who he is. When I need someone at my back, Sin is there. And when I have no desire for company, it's Sin who is lounging on my couch, making a nuisance of himself. He is a double edged sword, a close friend, and constant thorn in my side. He is a good man without a conscience, yet for all his faults will always be able to call me a friend.

Baestien
Lookup | Petpage

Baestien is a pirate. I don't care for pirates. I don't care for their ships, or their lifestyle, and I especially don't care for those ridiculous hats many of them insist on wearing. But Baestien is an old friend of Aki's, and Khe seems to have taken quite a liking to him, so for the time being, he is a pirate I must tolerate. He is cordial enough, but only time will tell if he can overcome his pirate nature.

Luekah
Lookup | Petpage

Someone save me from criminals. I beg of you. Luek is another less than savory creature, that Khe bailed out of trouble, and "adopted". He's an unscrupulous sneak, yet somehow, has managed to endear himself to most of the family.

Newer photo of all of us kougras. I don't know what Baestien was talking about. I was just saying hello!

Cheese
Khe's attempt at a family photo. It didn't work well, as when the entire family is together, things tend to get rowdy.

A Note on Trades From Khe
I don't have much time to do trades, but if you have an adoptable set that would be worth my while, neomail me with this form:

Kougra's Nick Name:

Book Color:

The only thing I do ask, is that when you are doing your half of the trade, you try to get the color and stripe patterns as close as you can to his ref, since Raz doesn't look much different from the standard blue kougra. It would be much appreciated. ^^

Frequently Asked Questions

For Khe

Q: Can my pet date Raz?
A: Sorry, Raz already has someone.

Q: May I have Raz?
A: No.

Q: Can my pet be friends with Raz?
A: No, Raz only makes friends through RPs and I rarely (I mean RARELY) role play. Hence the lack of friends.

Q: Can we RP?
A: Due to lack of time (and experience) I don't role play often. However, if you really want to and are an experienced role player feel free to request one of me, but I'll probably have to decline.

Q: May I draw Raz fanart?
A: Of course, We love fanart!

Q: Can I be your neofriend?
A: Sorry I don't accept neofriend requests unless I've had at least a few conversations with a person via neomail or know them well from DA or the DC.

Q: Do you accept art requests or trades?
A: I never do requests and rarely, due to time do trades. To see if my trades are open check the status on my user page. It is the most up to date. Also check DA (khestrel.deviantart.com). Occasionally I will accept sketch requests and trades there.

Q: How do you draw your art?
A: I sketch my pictures pretty small on (about) a 450x450 px canvas in either Photoshop CS or Open Canvas then blow it up to 200-300xs the original size and Ink and color in Photoshop. I then shrink it back down and I'm done. ^^

Q: How long have you been drawing?
A: I've always loved to doodle, but I didn't start drawing seriously until a little less than four years ago.

Q: Did you really sleep through your horses' labor or is that just part of Raz's story?
A: Yup I really did sleep through it. I camped out for a week next to my mare's pen in a camper trailer so I could watch. Sunday night I checked on her, went to sleep. Monday morning, I woke up there were two horses there instead of one. XD

For Raz

Q: Why don't you get along with Baestien?
A: Because he's a pirate. To put it in their terms, rotten filthy bildge rats the lot of them.

Go to Episode 1

Episode 22
Vacation in Faerieland

Issue 355 – August 15, 2008
Vacation in Faerieland

First part of the vacation arc! I don't like the colors in this. They looked different when I finished the comic on my laptop. :(

This comic would not have been possible without the wonderful folks at the Neopian Times Writers Forum who gave me a ton of simile suggestions.

Episode 21
A Summer Haunting

Issue 352 – July 24, 2008
A Summer Haunting

I know, it's not really Razzle Dazzle without Razsile or Daezzelle but I needed to be able to talk about them with out them being there, so it's the RD without its stars. X)

Again, if you recognize the book in this comic, you are eternally awesome. X)

Episode 20
Flying

Issue 335 - March 21, 2008
Flying

This is the first time I have ever inked a comic on paper, hence having the time to fully shade it. I don't know if I really like it. Eh.

This comic has was thought up ages and ages ago. I just never got the chance to finish it.

Episode 19
Closet

Issue 334 - March 14, 2008
Smile

No in the closet jokes!! XD Yeah, I know they're just begging for it. ^^

This comic's joke was originally Baestien saying something like, "You know how Khe's been out of town for a while. Well she just discovered the accessories feature. Who do you think she's going to go after when she gets tired of dressing up with the girls?" I switched it because it was super wordy and a really old joke, but totally forgot it had been changed until I read it in the Times. I still don't particularly care for this comic. I think I had more fun with the in the closet joke. ;) Oh, and I forgot Raz's stripes on his back. Oh well.

Episode 18
Smile

Issue 329 - February 8, 2008
Smile

Originally this was titled "Love Actually" but the NT didn't like that, so I had to redo the name which resulted in it being released in the Valentine's Day issue. Can you say lucky? This was a prize issue, so everyone received a pink petpet paintbrush.

Raz and Elle are eating my favorite food in the world, stroganoff, which I honestly do make absolutely fabulously (ego anyone?). You should try it some time; I will send you the recipe! :)

Episode 17
It Starts

Issue 305 - August 17, 2007
You thing you know a guy.

Oh lack of time, you are a pain. You wouldn't belive how many neomails I get adressed like this, to Khe-san. Then of course most of them end with Person-chan, but I just couldn't bring myself to put it in the comic, because it is so horribly incorrect.

Episode 16
The True Story of Sin's Transformation Into a Prima Ballerina AKA: Revenge

Issue 303 - August 9, 2007
The True Story

Hehehehehe.

Episode 15
Revenge

Issue 300 - July 13, 2007
Revenge

I have to say, Renji eyebrows are pretty awesome. But Sin's still going to pay.

Episode 14
Writer's Block

Issue 299 - July 6, 2007
ARGGGGG

Sin's gonna pay...

Episode 13
Progress?

Issue 295 - June 8, 2007
Progress?

Sin's so good at moral support. XD

Episode 12
Displeasure

Issue 294 - June 1, 2007
Displeasure

Snarky? Where did I even learn that word?

Episode 11
Suspicion

Issue 287 - April 13, 2007
Already she has managed to insinuate herself...

More proof that I have absolutely no idea what the inside of my neohome looks like. XD

Episode 10
Razzle Daezzelle Part II

Issue 284 - March 23, 2007
Razsile DAEZZELLE Part II

Hehe, Elle and Baestien are so mean to each other.

Episode 9
Razzle Daezzelle

Issue 281 - March 2, 2007
Razsile DAEZZELLE

Elle appears!

Episode 8
Razsile Daezzelle

Issue 280 - February 23, 2007
Razsile Daezzelle

I HATE the font I used in this. Anyways, who is that kougra in the doorway?...

Episode 7
Friend Bob II

Issue 279 - February 16, 2007
Friend Bob Part II

So much dialogue! Oh well, it was necessary. I'm so mean to my poor neopets...

Episode 6
Friend Bob

Issue 275 - January 19, 2007
Friend Bob

Luek makes his first appearence. I feel bad for him. He never even got a proper introduction, and then I just threw him in with an embarrassing defeat like that. Oh well. He'll live. *evil laugh*

Does anyone recognize the book Raz is reading? If you do, I'll love you forever...

Episode 5
Could it be Love?

Issue 251 - August 4, 2006
Could it be love?

Sin's such a stud... XD

Episode 4
Petpetpets

Issue 239 - May 12, 2006
Couldn't you have gotten something a little less creepy?

I don't know what I was thinking when I drew that outfit. I've never worn anything like that in my life. I look like I'm attending Hogwarts or something.

Nym's petpetpet was hard to draw here, because it had to be creepy for the joke, but I really didn't want her to have something hideous. So I went for the creepy cute instead. I'm not sure how well it worked.

Episode 3
Petpets

Issue 230 - March 9, 2006
Win great prizes! ... or maybe get eaten.

I don't know where this one came from. It was just fun to do. XD

Episode 2
The Money Tree

Issue 229 - February 23, 2006
Neopoints don't grow on trees, you know.

This joke was originally thought up for my Creatures of Guardian Keep comic, but when that series stopped, I thought it would be cute to use for Raz. Nym was added on the spot just to fill the role of the petpet. I had no intention of her becoming a larger character, but she was too cute to use just once.

Episode 1
Beauty Contest

Issue 228 - February 17, 2006
Let's try on your costume...

I drew this comic at least two months before it appeared in the NT. When it was drawn, Raz had a completely different personality, and was much younger (even though he doesn't look it in some of the pannels).
