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.]

Your skiff silly red bull. [No. They will get... more and more out there.]

[action]

[hiken_ace]

I am not a surfer. I am not a cowboy. And I'm not red bull. [That shit is disgusting.]

[action]

[fierybluebird]

You're a firework.

[And somewhere; Katy Perry was proud.]

[action]

[hiken_ace]

... I'm not sure what to make of that.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

[Come on let your colors-- no.]

Aha, which means you like it. [Sure Marco. Confusion = like.]

[Voice | Fully Locked]

[fierybluebird]

Yes. Very similarly, but not really at all.

[ISN'T THAT SPECIFIC?! Totally helpful.]

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[MAKE 'EM GO AH-AH-AH AS YOU SHOOT ACROSS okay I'm done.]

Nuh-uh.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

Is that a real nuh-uh or a fake one.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

A very real one.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

Damn. I thought that one was kind of clever.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

Not clever enough.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

... Yeah, I think they did.. or they better have, at least, after making me go through that.

[ I'll be looking forward to this day.. ]

And you'll see it soon enough. The effect only just faded, so there will probably be noise about it on the journals or throughout the village later.

[ voice ]

[fierybluebird]

Good. Sounds pretty well worth it then, eh?

I'll keep my eyes open.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

Yeah yeah, don't be jealous Sparky, you'll come up with a few someday.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

Yeah, it's not like I completely regret it. It's just that I never would have done something like that that easily without the experiment having some weird sort of influence on me.

[ voice ]

[fierybluebird]

I see... I wonder what else happened then.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

... What do you mean, 'what else'?

[ voice ]

[fierybluebird]

To everyone else around here, eh. Seems like they kept me out for something really interesting.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

Well, it's interesting as long as you're not involved personally, I guess..

But I'm not so sure if it's such a good idea to interrogate your friends about it, I'm sure they don't want to talk about their embarassing experiences if they had them.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

You bet I am! The worst.

[ voice ]

[fierybluebird]

I'm sure Sparky won't mind a little push for information.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

Ohhh I'm trembling in my sandals already.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

... 'Sparky'? Someone you know?

[ voice ]

[fierybluebird]

Portgas D. Ace, if you've met him. Orange cowboy hat, more freckles than sense, and fiery temper to go with his pyromania.

He's my best friend here, and we have the same father.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

Yeah, you better be.
