Broadcast

[Kneeling on a cushion in the recreation area with the garden bed as his back drop, is the resident sword. He smiles pleasantly at the camera and one can hear pleasant sounding music in the back ground before his new pet lands on his shoulder. His long nails gently scratch the bird's head as he keeps his focus on what he's doing.]

A good day to all of you. I wish to present an inquiry as it were.

[Pausing, he lifts a cup to his lips and has a sip of tea before continuing.]

I had wondered if perhaps there are those who offer lessons in swordsmanship in this fleet. If there are not then I wondered if there are those that would wish to take lessons. This is a skill I am quite versed in and having the knowledge of a blade could be useful to have.

[He bows his head politely.]

Please let me know if there is interest. Though I suppose interest in sparring would be welcome as well. A father must keep himself well exercised to keep up with his children.

[Please don't mind the fact that there is absolutely no way he looks old enough to have any children at all.]

SS Caprine

[For those aboard his ship, they'll find that he appears to have obtained a bird during that pet drive. A very lovely bird that usually lives nearby him or on his shoulder. And those colors sure to match his attire perfectly.

Most often he can be found relaxing with some tea. Despite how small he is, he really isn't that hard to come across if one happens to want to talk to him.]

[What a sweet face. Of course he hardly sees why she can't learn. (He also can hardly tell how old she is since people who have baby faces back at the citadel are still hundreds of years old.)

Which means she gets a warm smile from him.]

Well I can hard refuse one so liberal with cherries.

[He tilts his head and his hair (which looks a lot like wings) shifts a bit.]

I am Kogarasumaru. May I be honored with your name in return?

[Oh, don't worry! She may look cute but deep down? She is a very scary under it all!

But that doesn't stop her from returning the smile right back!]

Well, aren't you the gentlemen? [She said with a giggle] It's nice to meet you! The name's Mabel Pines and it totally rhymes with Fable Mines!

[Yea, don't ask]

[Oh Mabel. You will never be frightening to him. Not ever.]

It does! That is quite clever.

[It's obvious he's not even just indulging her. He genuinely feels that's super clever!]

What ship do you reside on, Mabel?

[Finally, there's someone who apperciates her! You have no idea just how happy this makes her! She already likes him!]

I'm on the Goldstone! Which is perfect because a girl like myself does need some gold!

[Mabel...! Granted, she was kidding but still!]

Perhaps after I am certain of your handling with a sword, I will have one crafted for you to have gold detailing so you may have some.

[He's actually quite serious about that.]

[What have you done!? You see the look on her face? That is the look of a teenager with a goal in mind!]

Are you serious? Will you really do that just for me? Can you add in some pink and wings on it too?!

[Well now he plans to practice these techniques at the forge just for her.]

Of course. A sword reflects the master and it should please you in use and appearance for when you name it.

All the more reason for me to just get started on training right away! Tell me where you are, I want to do some epic moves too!

I wish to gather some supplies but I will contact you within a few days to let you know where we shall meet.

Then that's great! Oooohh, I can't wait to get started! It's going to be so amazing that I can use a sword! I can't wait to be the greatest sword fighting fairy this place has seen!

You will be beautiful. I believe this to be true already.

Oh c'mon now! You really are a gentlemen, you sure know how to make a girl feel special! Keep this up and you'll get the best sword fighting student ever!

I would be greatly honored to have such devotion from you. I will work hard in return so you may have the very best lessons to achieve this goal.

Ooohhh, I can't wait! Especially when I know I going to do so well! Just wait until Dipper gets here and see me!

[ . . . ]

I bet he'll be so jealous!

Is Dipper your brother?

Yeah, he's my twin! Trust me, when you see him, you'll definitely know!

[Pause]

Makes me wonder what he's doing now without me.

That is wonderful. I hope I will get to meet him one day and we can show him the skills you will learn.

Y-Yeah, I hope so too. He sure is a terrible younger brother for making his sister wait for him here.

[ . . . ]

Especially when he's taking his sweet time too!

Which is why we will need to make sure you have something to show to him when he arrives. Such is a lesson learned for leaving his sister so long.

But he will return to you. Of that I am certain. I have watched my own children reunite with their siblings over time where I am from.
