Kyrii Day Special

The Kyrii Host in Retirement
by togepwi

Better than You!
Remember that game show?
With its unforgettable host
The Kyrii who did the most!

Every week he made his appearance,
He always brought the energy
With his iconic pink jacket
He made quite the racket

But where is he now?
What has he been up to?
He's actually been out enjoying life!
Travelling with no worries or strife!

Good for him!
After years of hard work
Recently he was spotted on the beach
On Mystery Island, enjoying a peach!

The Island Mystic's Game
by dennykins

Just off the coast of Mystery Isle,
On Island Umbuku,
Inside a hut with thatch for tile,
Your fortune waits for you. 

The Kyrii mystic meets your eye,
As you stumble in the door.
This is not the first time you’ve been by,
You’ve trod these boards before.

In fact, the mystic knows you well,
You visit every day.
Each dawn you catch the morning swell,
To see what he will say.

You’re hoping for that magic word,
The one that he holds back.
After five years, it is absurd,
The avatar you lack.

He starts to speak, slowly at first,
As if to draw it out:
“You will soon find that you have a curse,
From reading all about – “

His mouth begins to form a “K”
You think this might be it.
The wind causes the hut to sway,
Fills nervous silence as you sit. 

“- Kikos!” He ends, grinning your way,
And your face shifts fast to dreary.
You shake your head in pure dismay,
Why won’t he just say “Kyrii”?!

Captain Krell Vitor
by darthtingle

[NB: "sinister" in S2 is a pun! From Latin, "sinister" was the left, which is the shoulder (I think) where Krell has the skull. But also he's Halloween-y and spooky and whatnot! I thought you might appreciate that. :) ]

Captain, defender, the spookiest leader
for Yooyuball's frightening Haunted Woods squad,
staunch stop against goals, the Kyrii Krell Vitor
steps onto the pitch as the audience applauds.

His sinister shoulder adorned with a skull,
his mane flowing gloriously out in the breeze
toward a tail firm and bushy, there's never a lull
when Krell marshals forth, the crowd to appease.

His teammates support him in creeping attack:
On defense, Crade Talvos and Brains Mortigan.
Fanetti, goalkeeper, has his champion's backs.
And at forward, Zo Junior, flies for points yet again.

Their tactics methodical, their strategies lurking,
team Haunted Woods proceeds 'cross the dome,
led in defense by Vitor, constantly working
for glory and victory, to hoist the cup home.

O Captain! Team Captain! Stop the score! Guard the net!
Defend and deploy all your copious talents
that you've honed since Year 8, the year of your best,
and speed forth for the Woods, ghastly and gallant.

Exploring The NC Archives
by maddie_bangz

In a warehouse full of mysterious items
You might find a massive spinning wheel
A Kyrii is waiting there to lend you a hand
To get a retired item for a very good deal

The NC item Warehouse has so many shelves
Full of retired goodies and treasures to behold
Some are new, some are old, some are a surprise
A Fortune Cookie here is worth its weight in gold

The Archivist will guide around this place
She’s a Kyrii with a Tigermouse that follows her around
She loves to keep the warehouse organized and clean
You won’t find even a speck of dust on the ground

And when you hand her a Fortune Cookie she’ll smile
And let you spin the wheel she has set up by herself
And her Tigermouse will run to grab your prize at the end
He’s very good at reaching up high on a shelf

She’ll thank you for coming and send you on your way
To enjoy your brand new NC item to be treasured
You’ll be so excited to begin a new customization
Your happiness at this moment could never be measured

Unpopular Advice
by 9kas

Across from Mystery Island’s sands
An inconspicuous hut lies on a small island,
And there resides a curious old Kyrii:
The Island Mystic - he’s truly a mystery!

Crowds of keen Neopians each day
Line up to see what the Mystic will say. 
A fortune they all eagerly seek 
To guide them through the days each week. 

For the first one in line he ponders deeply,
Searching for signs shrouded in mystery:
“You’ll discover vast riches on Terror Mountain!”
The Kyrii proudly declares with a grin. 

But their response was not what the Kyrii expected,
In fact, he was shocked at how madly they reacted!
Instead of joy at such a fortunate comment
The Neopian looked the opposite of content!

And one by one Neopians received
Fortunes that should leave most people pleased. 
But no matter how many fortunes he told
The Kyrii did not satisfy a single soul. 

Confused, he blurts out a random sentence,
Words so peculiar and full of nonsense:
“You’ll fight off countless radioactive…KYRII!!”
And the words’ recipient gleams with glee!

Overjoyed, they scream with utmost delight,
Giving the Island Mystic quite the fright!
Such unexpected celebration baffles the Kyrii -
Why, these Neopians are the actual mystery!

First Mate, Jacques the Swift
by precious_katuch14

From childhood, he and Garin
Insisted on carving their path,
Riding the oceans as pirates,
Swashbucklers reckless and true,
Till he was caught by the Drenched.

Maraqua needed his help,
And so Jacques was freed,
To join Isca and Caylis, and
End the war against Scarblade.

Jolly and affable,
Always repays his debts,
Courageous in battle,
Quick with his swords,
Undeniably, a hero,
Elegantly swooping in to
Save the day.

To the ends of Neopia,
He will follow his captain,
Ever the reliable right hand.

Sing of a brave Red Kyrii, 
Wild as the rolling waves,
Incorrigible, like Garin,
Foregoing a quiet life
To board the Black Pawkeet.

Magical Melodies
by ningkov1

Melodic tunes dance through the air 
This music coming from where? 
Follow the notes and you’ll find 
A music shop that’s one of a kind 

A Red Kyrii shopkeeper with fabulous hair 
Plays his cello without a care 
Heart and song fully intertwined 
Dressed stylishly and refined 

Neopians don’t be shy,
Come give a new instrument a try 
“All levels welcome,” the Kyrii beams 
Get lost in your musical dreams 

An Acoustic Guitar for the next rock star 
Screaming fans both near and far,
Someday playing in Tyrannia’s Concert Hall
Follow your dreams and have a ball 

A Baby Drum for the little ones 
Start early and have some fun,
Music is for all ages 
Tunes for all of life’s stages

A Frowny Tambourine for the newly Grey
Let music help you through another day,
Creativity can beat the blues 
Someday Grey will turn to rainbow views 

“Follow your heart,” the Kyrii explains 
With music there are only gains 
Pick a new instrument or sit and listen 
Any Neopian can be a musician!

The Mane Feature of the Kyrii
by sportyangel3338

The Kyrii is a beautiful creature
Who has many wonderful features
They take pride in their gorgeous manes
Even though maintaining it is a giant pain

The Grooming Parlour is where they love to shop
It is incredibly hard to get them to stop
They also take great care of their fur
They so skilled, they don’t need a coiffeur

Some species have unique manes to maintain
From eating a Chocolate Kyrii’s mane, you must abstain
The Fire and Magma Kyrii’s must stay somewhere hot
And let’s not even begin to talk about Snot

The Water Kyrii gets refreshed in the sea
Swimming by the Maraquan Kyrii with glee
The Robot Kyrii protects its hair
I swear to you, it actually is under there

Their mane is the feature that defines a Kyrii
There dedication to their mane’s should inspire thee
As beautiful as they are, do not try to touch them
They become upset and angry which leads to ultimate mayhem!

Ode to Lucky McKyriggan
by chai7705

On the Isle of Krawk,
Tucked in the Warf Wharf hub
You'll find this Kyrii within
The famed and fabled Food Club

Lucky McKyriggan, yarr har
Reknowned Food Clubber star

Irony, his second-best specialty
Given how "Lucky"'s his name
Peg and hook for hands - they're missing
And his "good" right eye is the same

Lucky McKyriggan, arr, matey
His appetite and waist both are weighty

Besides his lack of some limbs
Gross foods, for true, bring him luck
Mustard Ice Cream? It's a win!
'Cept Lucky, most pirates say YUCK!!!

Lucky McKyriggan, ahoy and aye aye
For Wriggling Grub and Fresh Seaweed Pie

But one food makes him walk the plank
It might make you shocked and ask twice
For no one expects a Food Clubber
Allergic to a pizza slice!

Lucky McKyriggan, yo-ho-ho
Flaming Fire Faerie Pizza? Oh, no, no...

Shiver me timbers! Here's Lucky
The Pirate - beware and avast!
Place bets with the bookie by noon
For today is his day, at last!

Lucky McKyriggan, yarr har
The Food Clubber Kyrii Day star!

How 'Bout Them Apples
by decaf0n

They say an Apple a day Keeps the doctor away
Keeps you healthy and those ills at bay

But if you take just a sec to ask a Kyrii
They'd certainly have to bend your ear-y:

"Apples? They belong in the dump
Take one bite, head to toe with lumps

Itching so much, not a wink of sleep
Enough to make you sit and weep!"

Now I'm not one to wish such a curse
But if your Kyrii's in need of a nurse

There are a few things you can try
To give them some relief with a sigh

First, Cooling Ointment, just a dab
And right fast they'll be feeling fab

Or if you'd rather, Itchy Scratchy Cream
Will turn those Scratchies to just a dream

Warm Amber Ointment will too do the trick
To ensure your Kyrii's not apple-sick

Though if you want for a more natural cure:
Dried Prampet Leaves (just, a little unsure)

But I'd have to say the best thing to do
Is to have an agreement between Kyrii and you:

The first goal in all this, the primary aim
Don't eat anything with Apple in the name!

A Trip to the Island Mystic
by one_headlight

We've travelled far and wide across the seas,
But our pilgrimage has finally ended.
Landed on the shore, trekked through the trees,
The sight of the Island Mystic's hut is just splendid!

From throughout Neopia we have gathered,
To have a glimpse of our future fortunes.
We'll have to ensure to stay well mannered,
And hope to receive good news, not misfortunes.

"You will have unexpected luck in Kiko Lake!"
That's wonderful news, I should pack immediately,
Buy some tickets to go ahead and partake,
In some boat tours not experienced previously.

"You will suddenly make a decision to play Gormball!"
Well, that's something quite specific to hear,
Though thinking about it now, I can't really recall,
The last time we played, it's been at least a year.

"Your sense of direction will change unexpectedly!"
That would actually explain a lot about our trip,
We got lost on our way to Mystery Island repeatedly,
When we go back home I'll instead just take a ship.

"You will be attacked by an army of snarling Lupes!"
Sounds like a dangerous and formidable foe,
But my friends have my back, we'll fight together in groups,
...wait, where did you guys all go?

Katya the Wanderer
by i_lovee_icecream

Katya the Wanderer,
Sings her stories in song. 
She plays her traveling fiddle,
She’ll visit your town before long. 

A Kyrii with flowing hair,
Of prismatic hues. 
She sings melodiously,
To tell you the news. 

Stories of new,
Stories of old,
And sometimes even,
Stories untold. 

Like the special story,
Of a mythical ancient land,
Dubbed Portal City,
Lost like siphoned sand. 

She rewards passerby's,
For their own stories shared. 
Katya listens intently,
To show that she cares. 

She hums and bows,
Playing lilting tunes. 
Her songs cut the silence,
The air beautifully hewn.

Kyrii Grooming
by therainbowsheep

Notorious for their silky manes,
Kyrii hair is never plain!
Their grooming is intentional,
But a bit unconventional.

Simple products will not do,
No basic hair shampoo!
First, Sparkling Kyrii Bubbles -
And make it a generous double!

This product is the key to shine,
When sold out, all Kyrii whine.
Next, Kyrii Fur Spray for gloss!
It makes them feel so boss.

Kyrii Hair Pomade for styling,
To look extra beguiling.
Then we look at the tools -
Kyrii grooming crown jewels!

Green Kyrii Comb is a fav,
Sends all knots to the grave.
It knows how to quickly untangle,
So your hair is never mangled.

Soft Kyrii Hairbrush if you prefer,
To brush your wonderful fur.
Kyrii know how to look attractive,
Since they are so proactive!

They taught us to take the time,
To look good and in our prime.
It all comes down to Kyrii grooming,
Soon we'll all be blooming!

Kyrii Colours
by spukl1

The Maraquan Kyrii is scaly & sleek,
Skin of gold with fins so light & pink.
He zooms through the ocean so fast,
Splashing his tail as he paddles past.

The Fire Kyrii certainly lights it up, 
He could be there to warm your cup. 
In shifting colors just like a flame,
You better look twice it’s never the same.

The Baby Kyrii is cute as can be,
With eyes so big, he can always see.
His hair has volume, that’s for sure,
& he’s sweet as can be, just so pure.

The Mutant Kyrii is a blue surprise,
Two toned fur & tiny red eyes…
His fangs are sharp & his ears tall,
He can do some damage with those claws.

The Royal Kyrii is a beauty indeed,
Hair so long and the colour of the sea.
She twirls around in her gown of blue,
Bow to her & give her due.

The Secrets of Ozric the Royal Kyrii
by agedbeauty

Once upon a well known Kyrii,
(There's a famous book that starts this way) -
An adventure started grand 
(Though the Kyrii himself hadn't much to say).

This handsome Royal Kyrii
(He who travelled far and wide)
Was simply known as Ozric then
(But his hair was not to be denied).

Ozric went from land to land
(And he wooed many fans)
Kiko Lake, Haunted Woods 
(With no shortage of tribute bands).

What did Ozric do?
(For then we had simply not a clue)
Is a subject of debate 
(No really - what did he do?).

But one thing we know for certain
(Other than his hair was fine)
By the end he had many secrets
(Some of yours and...some of mine?).

I can't say what he did with them
(Because of course he didn't say)
But I remember him just the same
(Especially on Kyrii Day.)

An Elderly Kyrii
by gumgum101230

A Kyrii that was Elderly
Sank in his hospital bed;
Though his wrinkles were intact,
His fur was Grey instead.

The Faerie Kyrii who'd volunteered
To heal his battle scars,
Found the old man suffering
From an illness most bizarre.

The patient had no lacerations
From battles taken part,
Yet his face still gave away
The pain within his heart.

The doctor had decided that
The man had NeoBlues,
And though the Faerie tried her best
To feed him, he'd refused.

"The Tasty Pie will work better!"
The Faerie tried to say;
But all the Elder could do was sip
On Steaming Green Tea all day.

The Faerie soon had had enough
Of feeling helpless and weak,
So she grabbed her Swordhammer,
And she started to speak:

"If I can't help to heal your heart
By simply sitting here,
I'll go out and slay the beast
Who's caused so many tears!"

She then set out to find the Rift
That had caused all this pain,
Determined to do anything
To make him smile again.
