[video] Back with the chocobos / All the jokes

[In a scene that might be familiar to some, Marco is back in the barn, with five baby chocobo. Not quite so baby now, he might be able to fit one of them in a bag on his back, but not all of them. He can't even fit them all under one wing, but that's all right, the others he's dealing with in different ways. It might not be immediately obvious, but the loss of Ace is hitting him hard. Normally he'd go into a rage to kill things, but he doesn't seem to feel it's worth it.]

Ace's name is up on the memorial wall. He might come back... I hope so.

[There's a much too long pause in which he looks a world away and scoops up a chocobo fitted with a Spade collar.]

Ah so how about some bird jokes, eh?

You've probably all heard this one: Why did the chicken cross the road?
To get to the other side.
Why didn't the turkey cross the road?
He didn't want to be a chicken.
Why did the ducks cross the road?
To prove they could do it better than the chicken.
Why did the chicken cross the road twice?
It was a double-crosser.
Why did the rooster cross the road?
To prove he wasn't a chicken.

A phoenix walks into a bar filled with a bunch of turkeys. He gives them a polite nod and then buys everyone a round of drinks. They crowd around their new friend and offer some peanuts. "Gobble gobble gobble?" they suggest. "No thanks," he politely declines, "I'm allergic." They offer him pretzels. "Gobble gobble gobble?" He takes a few of those and they continue on for hours. Eventually they run out, and just as he was about to leave, they look him up and down and ask, "Gobble gobble gobble?" He gives them a horrified look and explains, "No way! I'm not into that!"

Why did the marines arrest the turkey?
They brought it on suspicion of fowl play!

[LOL well he does want to share it with Marco! Though the first reason is so he can eat salt, the second is so maybe Marco can stop the weird jealousy too.]

I thought that much was clear. Will I have to creatively find another way to do so...?

[Sideglance.]

Is it going to take me by surprise and earn a power up?

Not now that Marco is expecting something... Hah.

[Laughs and gives Japan a cracker.]

You're ridiculous. I love you in every single possible way, but you're still ridiculous I hope you know.

[Takes that cracker.. and EATS IT]

What is ridiculous about it?! [He legit finds himself normal and boring :|]

You're completely content... gorging on crackers. And you don't even know how this would seem absurd to anyone. You also chose salt over every other kind of vice I could think of. [Spreads his hands with a shrug.] My apologies Bushido, but it is all rather quite ridiculous. In a completely adorable way. [Ruffles. Oh Japan, you could never bore Marco. At least not now that he knows better.]

[Closing one eye at the ruffling]

Hahhh, it is not as if I chose to become so fascinated by it... This sort of enjoyment is troubling enough without this sort of enhancement. [Still not finding himself weird LOL]

...I do not believe I am adorable, either.

[Grins wickedly and leans in close, and then lightly tugs Japan's cheeks.]

What would say decides whether someone is adorable or not?

[dkjsfgjkdfjgkdsjgds making this face]

As Japan, I believe I have great knowledge in what is "cute" and what is not... Surely "adorable" falls in with that. [As Italy says... "Cute is the greatest compliment in Japan!!!" gklfdgkfdgfd]

It does.

So tell me oh wise master, knowledgeable of all that is cute; what make something adorable or not?

Hmm... Maybe...

Cat ears. [Raises his hands to his head like cat ears. Yes.] Like so nya.

[Laughs.]

Shall I fetch you a pair then?

I already have one. [...he's serious LOL Norway gave him a nekomimi headband when he was a babby for his chip]

Well then, I think you just proved my point, love.

I am not wearing them! [GEEZ. But he just takes another cracker and just

holds it in his mouth again]

Someone who would wear them at all without being asked is automatically adorabl--

[Cuts off with another bite to the cracker, tilting his head like a bird and this time trying to sneak a kiss.]

[Japan swallows his bite and accepts that sneaky kiss-- but not without stealing a lick at Marco's lips for that extra salt. :| Yup.]

I believe it is a bit more complicated than that.

[Practically lets out a bird whistle at the lick, unaware of what he's up to, but looks up at that.]

Oh? All right. I think you're cute because you're an adorable little black duckling. You think being surrounded by yellow ducks is a bad thing, but it just means you're cute and hide more easily. You say the opposite of what you mean and expect people to understand it anyway, though sometimes I swear it's just because you don't want them to, and you actually just want to see if they're clever enough to figure it out and then worthy of your presence, only you can't decide if you want that either, so you wrap it up in a mix of wanting people and wanting to be alone and pushing them away and working hard to please them in a way that is nothing short of "cute." The only thing almost as cute is Haruta, and if that's not the text book definition it ought to be.

Should I go on or should I stop embarrassing you in a way you can't decide if it's just exhilarating or not?

[Okay, that gets him red from embarrassment.]

H-how can Marco keep going like that?!

Because I know you. Inside and out. And all I want from you is more. [Kisses all over.]

[dksfgjkfgfdkg]

Ah... Oh... [He's so great at words]

[Smirks a little evilly.]

Think you can let me in?

[Slyly sneaks a cracker and pokes it into Marco's mouth. YEP.]

Ah, to do that, Marco will have to knock first. [Which as far as he's concerned translates to asking things.]

[Sneaky indeed.]

Oh? Do I need to knock a special way?

Knock the way one would normally knock. [Taps twice on the couch with his knuckle.]

"Excuse me!" That sort of thing. [he's so weird kjgljdfskgdf]
