RWBY: pOum

The Ballad of Pilot Boi (Pilot Boi)

Written by Pilot Boi.

That ship and I did dare to fly,

Upon the orders of a Schnee.

It carried dust and paid so well,

That lonely journey did quite suit me.

I was almost in the pilot's chair,

Almost ready to take off and leave,

When Klein asked me for a favor,

Add to my cargo, one Ice Queen!

I cannot lie, to my flyboi eyes,

She's quite a gorgeous pallid beauty,

And missing is that attitude;

Most of that family is so snooty!

She seemed happy for the lift,

I asked where; her eyes gazed off;

And after the paymen...errr I mean gift,

I closed the doors and we went aloft.

She was quiet for most of the trip,

Maybe under some kind of stress?

Until my radio cracked alive,

With the sound of a desperate S.O.S.

No way was I going to get involved!

Fighting grimm? That's just insane!

I couldn't even take a chance-

I still owed half the mortgage on that plane!

Of course I tried to do my best,

avoid that area like a cancer,

But smack dab into it we ran,

And oh! My favorites! Freakin' Lancers!!!

But man did Weiss (as I now know her),

Make winning easy, or so it seemed,

But just my luck, those were the babies-

We also pissed off the Lancer Queen!

She used her glyphs to no avail,

Even blew up my precious cargo!

My last chance at making cash,

Before closed borders, dust embargo!

Just when I thought that we were through,

A spectre, white knight, shot from the hold!

A marvel it was to watch it fight,

"We're gonna make it!" myself I told.

Lancer be damned! She left her marks,

With fire and smoke and burning embers,

I recall black glyphs did slow us down,

But that's the last thing I remembered...

Now here I am, all good and dead-

My afterlife boring, like so many;

At least I've met a couple of cuties,

I think their names were....Pyrrha and Penny?
