[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!

[Blinks! And then blushes slightly, but happily. Oh kissing his tears away... dokidoki... wait a minute... -_-' This better not be a salt thing. You fiend.] So it's a deal? [Snuggles.]

[HAHAHAHAHA]

Of course. I cannot refuse such a quick advancement to leveling up.

[He will get you back for this. He doesn't know how yet. But he will have revenge. And it will be delicious and not salty.]

Hah, aww... you're so cute. Thinking it'll be so easy.

[YOUR FAULT, MARCO]

Marco should not underestimate me. ...Or the other Asian countries, for that matter. [He's seen Korea's dramas...]

[Arches an eyebrow.]

China's only at risk of making me cry for his people. [And his... everything. Shush.] I doubt Hong Kong could at all. [Kdramas would probably not affect Marco beyond wanting to kick things. He's violent, and also it's starting to become a Pavlov's dog reaction with him.]

Perhaps so, but I have other methods. [That sounds so ominous.]

[But how can it be ominous when he's smiling so cutely?]

Oh? Like what? [In other words: bring it.]

[How about this]

Ah... Marco will see in time.

Scary, but I'm not afraid. You'll be crying more than I will.

[...That is a terrifying thing to say, but he's just going to sideglance.]

I do not cry...

[Head tilt.] Out of choice?

I-it must be a culture difference. America-san cries quite often and denies it afterwards, but I cry quite rarely. ...And continue to deny it afterwards.

[Bends his chin more onto Japan's shoulder and rubs it as though itchy.]

Not even as a true Japanese man? Or there being no more salt? [THAT is the best reason ever to cry Marco. Good job.]

[gfjdskgjfsd kind of shifts at that chin on his shoulder more what are you doing wahhh]

...No. There are more effective methods to dealing with those situations.

If Marco would like to know, I can recall crying in this place only when a strange confusion and possession of sorts caused me to cut Seifer in the back and he passed out, a similar situation with China-san, and... ah, a more recent time with Marco.

[It's birdie affection. His arms are still wings so... deal with it.]

I remember recently. [Nips an ear affectionately.] All right... I still won't make it easy for you. [But he won't back down either! Pride and manliness is on the line.]

[He leans into that, closing his eyes for a moment. It was nice to just be here.]

Hmm, I wonder, did I move Marco's heart just now? [Japan you loser. Okay he's half teasing, but the memory made him a bit down too so whatever]

[Oh... dokidoki.] Maybe a little. [Continues the nip into a trail of kisses, but doesn't switch out of the wings yet.] But that doesn't mean tears will be so easy.

If I truly know the way to Marco's heart, that is all I need.

You always have, my love.

[Turns to kiss him under the other eye now teehee]

So I will know the way there, as well.

[Blushes a little again... dokidoki.]

You're so just stealing salt from my face like a deerlick now, aren't you?

Ah... [That's a good idea. He has that sort of expression yes.]

Is that something acceptable?

I'm not sure if I should say no. [No. But he'd probably enjoy it anyway. Because he has issues and Japan licking him silly would be amusing and weird, but sure. Why not.]

[LOL Marco......... You just enabled something horrible. Japan finds this insanely embarrassing but oh so tempting.

So he will just lick up Marco's cheek before staring. Yes. SO WEIRD]

[O-oh. That was too cute. So Marco just points to the other side in deadpan, wings all gone now.]

You missed a spot.
