4th Tail - We Hate Iambic Pentameter

[whatthefoxsay]

Video

A young man, albeit with quite feminine features, Kiro Yukimura foregoes the trappings of Western Europe and prefers the clothing of a Renaissance era swordsman from Japan.]

If perhaps the matter lacks clarity
Then let it be most assuredly known
I swear upon my life, my loyalty
Those who seek to harm my most gracious lord
Shall be met with the sharpness of my blade.
No other than Lord McCall commands me
My fealty and love are sworn to him.

[Young 'Master' Kiro can be found in pretty much the same places that his alter ego Kira can; 'he' greatly enjoys strolling the deck, or engaging in keeping his weapon skills sharp in the enclosure. He partakes of food and drink in the dining hall as well as the pub when he's feeling raucous, and seeks serenity in the library or the greenhouse when in need of peace and quiet.]

(ooc: Prose or action spam is fine, I will adjust to your preference! Please note I'd still welcome an "Olivia" to chase after "Kiro".)

[The feed is dark: shadows, leaves, silver glowing eyes.]

What earnest soldier here with iron heart-
I see a boy unspoiled by merriment
Boast no more your tedious dignity

[But suddenly private]

I see your jest and well it pleases me
That mortal tricks may mortal eyes decieve
If stripling youth your trickster heart betrays
Thou mayst yet dare to call the fairy King

[That shift to thou is no accident. Oberon is Interested. That's. Probably not a good thing.]

Ho! Your goodly nature hearkens me near.
Let us go and celebrate our passage
Beer and wine so to sweeten our voyage
Youth and old age unite under banner.

[Falstaff says it's time to go drinking]

[Whenever Kiro leaves, he seems to pop up again only minutes later. The young man looks less sure of his whereabouts the second time he enters a space, and everyone who speaks to him seems to already have spoken to him. He takes it in stride and cheerfully answers whatever question they seem to have. For everyone on Ye Olde Barge it seems that Kiro eats twice, drinks twice, and reads a great many books in that day.

Finally the young man settles down on the deck, looking slightly forlorn.]

In what surroundings have I found myself to-day?
Though not unkind the encounters were of a strange kind
On this day, another on this long journey of mine.

Yet when my body rests my mind lingers:
Always on my sweet sister whom I loved
so dear. She much resembled me in looks
though in temp'rament was more fiery than I.

[Scott smiles indulgently, flattered by the display of loyalty. It buoys him, and rather than think too long on that, he turns the thought to other matters, lets it drive his hope there.]

Having the faith of such loyal vassals
As you gives me hope; now, Yukimura,
I need your help on the matter I spoke
Of - a letter, fit to win the heart of
The most beautiful woman on whom I
Have ever laid eyes. Just her visage fills
Me with such words - yet when I move to put
Ink to paper, they vanish from my thoughts.
You must help me, Kiro; I will be lost
Without you.
