[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!

[Returns, and literally just presents a salt shaker on a plate lmao.]

Would you like something to go with this? It'll take me a little while to get fresh fish, but we should have some other supplies here that Luffy doesn't know about.

[B| face. But he takes that salt shaker and undoes the top YEAH. WHAT OF IT.]

Just salt is fine...........

Not even water?

I do not need water. [He just wants some salt..... Yes he will eat it by licking his finger first SHHHHH]

[Shakes his head and hugs on him.] Damn it you're too cute for me.

I am not cute... This is rather shameful, but I am loving it so much that my mind does not stay on that as much as usual.

[Marco if you keep hanging around he will just try to repeat things........]

[Wow. That's so cute. And just a bit worrisome. So he holds up a finger to try to check Japan's eye reflexes.]

Can salt cause strokes? I thought strokes were low blood pressure, not high.

Low or high, a change in blood pressure can be damaging to the heart. But as a true Japanese man, such things cannot effect me! [Liar. Also staring at that finger.]

[Stares at. And then moves the finger into the points of a cross... and then a crescent. Yup, that's how he does eye tests. What do you mean that's obsessive?]

No heart attacks. Otherwise who will stay 20,000 years with me?

[Staring staring augh no his eyes hurt what are you doing. Gives up near the end to pour some salt into his hand and then... pop it into his mouth. Yup.]

I will stay, do not worry.

[Shakes his head and amusement again and just glomps. So cute.]

Uh-huh. You better. [Pokes his nose.]

[Wahhh poked] I told Hong Kong-kun this, as well, after all. Soon everyone will expect it of me.

Good. Then you really can't die on me.

[Head-tilt like a birdie and flomps otherwise into Japan's lap.] That is what you told him, right?

Hm? Of course it was. [He sort of pets Marco. Yes even as a human.]

That Marco expected me to live for another 20,000 years at least. He said it sounded good to him.

[Shivers and then laughs in pure delight.]

You told him that? Really? I'm proud.

[Oh that's so cute. He admires that expression for a moment before glancing sideways.]

Is it so strange?

No, but I didn't think you would. I'm flattered.

...To be quite honest, I did not expect it myself.

So what brought it on?

A long discussion about Hong Kong-kun from when he cannot remember... And ah, it somehow lead to the topic of me dying.

And you said you wouldn't die because you had to keep me company?

Ah, well... Yes.

[Kisses his cheek and holds his hand.]

Just for that I... [He has no words for this so he just quickly nibbles Japan's ear like an affectionate birdie.]

I really love you... and I'm glad. [It helps him deal with the Ace thing more than all the rest combined. And he just laces a leg around Japan's. He still wants to say something, but words are completely failing him so he switches into a phoenix and glomps Japan snuggling up to him.]

[He flushes slightly but there's an obvious fond look on his face as he lets Marco snuggle. He just calmly wraps his arms around him in a hug. Still, he recognizes there was supposed to be more to that, so he stays silent for now, just enjoying the embrace.]

[Snuggles happily and flomps against his chest, giving a small phoenix kiss.]
