Who: Kogarasumaru and YOU
Broadcast: Yes
Action: SS Caprine
When: 6/4

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.]

_{[ Glad to see he's not the only one who picked up a new companion over the past few days. The Fleet is going to turn into a menagerie at this rate, but oh well. There are worse things to turn into it.

Now, considering that offer... ]}

If I didn't put my foot in my mouth to much when we first met, it would be an honor to learn from you.

_{[ He had been starting to really put himself into learning from Sulu back home, but, well, here he was. Perhaps it wasn't a bad idea to get comfortable with a more analog weapon. ]}

Oh, oh! Pick me, pick e! I'd like to learn how to use a sword! Pretty please with lots and lots and lots of cherries on top?!

[She said before raising her hand up high up and jumping around! Now if this is a good idea or not is up to him!]

I am not so certain why our last meeting would paint a poor image of you.

[He's seriously really hard to offend, Kirk. You're good.]

I would be pleased to teach you my art. Thus far it would seem there are none who offer these lessons so I believe I should create some of my own.

[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]

[Although Morgan did pick up a pet on the planet, he only picked up a pretty normal ferret. Definitely nothing as fancy as the bird that Kogarasumaru adopted.]

Whoa! That bird is really cool. Did you get him on the last planet?

[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?

[He looks up at his shipmate. They really haven't had the chance to interact before but that's okay. They're doing that now.]

I did. I have been pondering what to name him actually. Have you a suggestion?

We've had people, and probably still do have people, who can use swords in the Fleet, but as far as organized lessons - we're lacking in that. I was learning - well, starting to learn - back home, and I've inherited a few blades. I figure I should learn to wield them properly otherwise I'll just end up hurting myself or something else.

[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!]

Would you mind if I asked if you had these blades here? I will not ask to use them with others but we could use them for your own lessons.

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!

[What matters is that they're interacting! The more friends Morgan makes, the better.]

I'm not sure I have a suggestion, but I can help you brainstorm one! He should have a name as majestic as he is.

Oh, yes, they're here. I inherited them from someone in the Fleet I was close to when they left. I can bring the ones I think would be useful... Or perhaps I should bring them all and let you decide. You're the expert, after all.

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

[He'll be your friend, Morgan!]

Agreed. I was thinking the same when I first behld him.

[He strokes those feathers again then waves for him to come sit with him.]

Would you like some tea?

All would be welcome. It will be easier for me to know them should I see them all.

Right, I'll do that then.

_{[ He only had about three - Fenris had an extensive collection and
others had wanted mementos. As much as wanted some pieces of Fenris, he
didn't need quite that many sharp ones. ]}

They're all a bit short on me, honestly. Fenris was quite a bit smaller than I am.

One can still wield a smaller blade. Just as one can potentially wield a much larger one.

Of course, I just figured that was important since it would affect how I might learn to use them. I have a few daggers from him too.

I am a very small sword. I can teach to use larger blades but I will always be best with the lighter ones. So we simply have to find a blade that suits you.

I don't think I would want to use a larger one anyways. Prefer light, easier to carry, easier to move with.

We will soon discover that together, hm?

[He smiles at him warmly.]

I look forward to meeting the blades you bring.

I'm sure they look forward to it too.

When would you like me to meet you?

I wish to find a location to do this and gather some more supplies. I will contact you in a few days and we can begin.

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.

I look forward to it. If I might suggest the Iskaulit? There's quite a few open spaces there, and one might work for you.

A wise suggestion. One could create a dojo with one of those places.

Since there's a dance studio, a dojo shouldn't be much of a problem. If you need help, I'll lend you a hand. Not that I've ever helped but a dojo together before, but I can follow instructions.

_{[ Mostly. ]}

I should be able to manage but I thank you. Though, we will find out if you can follow instructions when your lessons begin.

Hopefully I can buck my track record.

_{[ He can actually follow instructions and learn - when he's interested
in the subject, and he was interested in this, so it shouldn't be a
problem. ]}

[He laughs lightly.]

I will contact when I have my space. Thank you again.
