Yo. I'm back. Longest month of my life, including that time I dyed my hair black.

Did anyone remember to water and feed Ace while I was gone? Take him for walks and make sure he got sun and all that?

[There's a pause and the fluttering of wings along with a mutter.] Damn this new book system is strange... [But he speaks back up again trying to sound more chipper.]

So what did I miss? Did the entire landscape change? Any new books about pirates at the library, eh?

[For those who know him well, Marco actually sounds pretty exhausted for a change, and lacking some of his usual ridiculousness.]

Hell yes. That'd be great.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

... I don't think I've talked to him, no.

[ but still, death of family is something Ange can understand very, very well. ]

Sorry about your loss, though.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

All right, it's a plan then Fireworks.

[Yup. He's going to stick to the billion nicknames.]

[Norma laughs, and sinks down to rest her head on her folded arms.] I try and make it so I don't have to ever fight my friends, y'know? Kinda defeats the whole "healer" thing.

[Thank goodness for Friend-or-Foe marking, too. Otherwise, her spells could and would spell doom for her party-mates. Though that...honestly begs the question of how Grune manages to to murder anyone with her spells...huh.]

Y'know, I don't think I've ever seen Hothead use his powers in a fight. Not that'd I'd want to be anywhere near that, but yeah. He's been one heck of a great portable fireplace.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[He smiles, and secretly because he likes the nickname "firework".]

Think that's the best plan you've ever come up with.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

[He's totally sticking to that one then.]

All my plans are brilliant.

[Cocky? No.... what would give you that idea?]

[action]

[hiken_ace]

Sorry, that's debatable. By a lot.

[Voice | Fully Locked]

[fierybluebird]

Among other things. So your powers are healing?

[ voice ]

[fierybluebird]

Thanks. It's probably better that you didn't. Talk to Blackbeard I mean.

[And he's a million miles away mentally.]

[action]

[fierybluebird]

Don't be jealous Firework, one day you'll have plans like mine.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

Why not..? Is talking to him annoying, or something like that?

[ voice ]

[fierybluebird]

He's my Pops' murderer. He tricks people into thinking he's just a fat slob, unambitious, kind of lazy, but he's not. Not at all.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

I sure as hell hope not.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

Too awesome for you to handle? Aye... that is a common problem as I understand it.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

Nah, I was thinking the exact opposite, sorry to say.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

How could the plans not be awesome enough? [Flicks his forehead.] Hush Freckles, that's not how plans work.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[lnkgfjsg] Your plans are not awesome.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

They are always awesome!

Name the last time one went awry.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

.. That sort of person, huh.. [ So that father didn't even die a death of old age-- no, murdered, just like her family.. ]

And he was in this place? You even talked to him?

[Voice | Fully Locked]

[bubblywishes]

Among other things. ♥

[Two can play this game, MarMar.]

[action]

[hiken_ace]

The time you thought sparkles would impress those girls at the bar.

[ voice ]

[fierybluebird]

Several times.

[Since he couldn't kill him =\]

[Voice | Fully Locked]

[fierybluebird]

[Laughs softly.]

Just for that I'll give you a hint. Mine are related.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

Oi oi, I totally scored.

[NO HE DIDN'T.] You just missed out because you fell asleep.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

Somehow I doubt that. [[Whacks him.] I didn't fall asleep!

[He was just. Distracted.]
