The Queen of Usukis


by merionelle

--------

     When you decided to start your collection, it was merely a passing whim,

     Faerie Usukis are so cute, you reasoned, what's the harm in buying them?

     Now you've become dedicated, passionate (although some folks would call it obsessed)

     But there's one Usuki you long for, above all of the rest.

     You visited Usukiland every day, hoping the fated stars would align,

     Alas of this most elusive of Usukis there was never any sign.

     At Usukicon every year you made sure to snag a goodie bag or two,

     But every year only brings with it a fresh disappointment anew.

     Sighing, you glance at the sweet faeries on their designated shelf,

     For your collection will always be incomplete without the Queen herself.

     The Queen Fyora Usuki Doll, an absence felt so cruel,

     You want so badly to take her home, she'd be your collection's crown jewel.

     You've heard rumours of a wheel in Qasala where she can be won,

     So even though spending 100k a spin isn't quite your idea of fun,

     You spin it nonetheless, no point in doing things halfway.

     Perhaps you will get lucky, might today really be the day?

     The wheel slows to a stop and... oh well, just a nerkmid on this occasion.

     But you'll be back tomorrow to spin again, you don't need any persuasion.

     You've come too far to give up now, you refuse to surrender your dream,

     Someday she'll sit right in the middle of your collection, on a throne fit for a queen.
