[Have a pony-sized kirin laying lazily in Xanadu. He's just sort of... chilling. Maybe literally because it's still winter and still pretty cold outside.

This is actually sort of really inconvenient. I can't even change back right now. [He shakes his head and his body shakes a little.]

It's way too cold for this...

What? A Qilin, seriously?

[kirinofen]

[Ear flick.] Huh? Oh... Uh, yeah. Well sort of.

[old_lady_sukima]

... sort of?

[kirinofen]

I'm probably not the type of kirin you're familiar with. You know them from, uh... Japan or China, right?

[old_lady_sukima]

Both, really. It doesn't matter, it's still the same thing.

[old_lady_sukima]

Then what kind of Qilin are you, if not a Qilin?

[kirinofen]

[He snorts.] I dunno. I've been told that kirin are seen as being violent in other places.

[kirinofen]

... Well. I guess... the mythology is different? Where I'm from a kirin exists to choose a ruler for their kingdom. And when that's done, we're bond to serve that ruler no matter what.

[old_lady_sukima]

........

[old_lady_sukima]

That's totally retarded.

(ooc: no offense, Yukari just likes pissing people off to see their reactions)

[kirinofen]

Yeah, I know. Especially when we can die if the ruler screws up. It's lame, but it's not like I can change how it works.

[[ooc; None taken!]]

Don't be so passive. If you don't like it, you should push back. If you don't like it, kill your ruler, kill whomever makes the rules. If you can just go and say that you can't change anything, you should just roll over and die right now.

[kirinofen]

[Now he sounds really appalled.] I'm not killing anyone! Jeez, don't suggest something like that so casually. Whatever, I've been living like this for five hundred years. It doesn't bother me that much anymore.

[old_lady_sukima]

That's good. If you don't have the will to change something, you have no right to complain.

Five hundred years, eh..... what, after that long, you still have no desire for freedom or anything? What the hell...

[kirinofen]

I can't change it. It's literally impossible to go against the Heavens. You don't even get half of it.

I'm plenty free, you know... And I can't just abandon my kingdom. The people would suffer if I just up and left.
