[Voice / Written]

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.]

[He rests his elbow on the counter, leaning into his hand, and shakes his head.]

Other than everyone falling in love, no.

Did you?

[Sticks his tongue out teasingly.]

[He shakes his head with a light smirk.] Nah, I wasn't that unlucky.

[Snaps his fingers as though disappointed.] Damn. It would have been hilarious to come back to a little sister-in-law.

[He just laughs.] Sorry to crush your hopes, then.

Aye. That is your goal next time I disappear for a month. Get married. Or make me think you did.

Although I'd hate to have missed the bachelor party. [Scratches his scruffy chin in thought at this and keeps cooking.]

You'd better not disappear again. [The outburst was so sudden, it even surprised Ace.

But he smirks nonetheless.] All right, I'll see what I can do in terms of a girlfriend.

[But now he is a little suspicious.]...why?

[A shrug.] To keep you busy. [Obviously a good reason. He's not explaining the bachelor party thing though, he considers that self-explanatory. If Luffy gets to be his best man, Marco gets to throw the bachelor party. All when Ace marries an as-yet unknown person :|]

And so I'll have something great to tease you about. And then you can have babies and I'll play with them. [He says... as if Marco would ever be allowed near the kids.]

[He smiles.] A regular party would be plenty for that.

[And the smile turns flat.] Oh, I'm never letting you near my kids. If I ever have any. [Which he kinda doubts.]

What? I'm great with kids! I was good with you, right?

[... Kind of.]

[He is going to open his mouth to say something....

but then closes it and shakes his head.] ...sure.

[Frowns.]

Ahhh... what's wrong now?

Eh? Nothing! Really. It's just that you weren't all that great at handling me.

[A teasing smirk.]

[Lightly whacks.] I was great. You were a super baby.

[Normally, he would shove him for that. But today, he's just happy he's back and laughs.]

Sparkles and all?

Of course~! [Sparkles vaguely, but makes sure not to get it in the food. He has no idea what happens then, and he doesn't want to find out.]

See? Wildly entertaining to kids.

[He smirks and rolls his eyes.] Yeah, too bad I'm not a kid.

So I don't entertain you anymore? I'm wounded. [So deadpan and covers his heart with his hand dramatically.]

Well, right now you do. See, this is why you should be an actor.

[Grins.]

Maybe. I do have my own special effects after all.

Hahaha! I kinda like you better as a pirate, though. Maye acting could be a side thing.

If they ever make a stage here, right?

I like being a pirate better too, but I'm sure there's enough overlap.

That'd be hilarious to watch.

Probably. [...] 'S the food ready yet?

I would be spectacular.

No. [Stuffs food in his mouth.] Here. A snack.

You'd be a ham.

[He surprised by the sudden food in his mouth, but smiles, and eats it.]
