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 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.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

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

[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.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

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

[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.]

[action]

[fierybluebird]

[Waves a hand.] Whatever. It totally worked matey. We could try it again here, but Jack says it's tougher here. That and the lack of the reputation and all.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

Marco, I doubt girls are going to go for guys who can sparkle.

Heeeh, we're basically starting from square one to get a date.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

Silly Fireworks, chicks always dig that. [That is why Edward Cullen is popular damn it.]

Eh, even less than that. Because everyone here is exceptional and all the girls are used to being surrounded by that. Plus, I'm sure none of them are in a romantic mood in Luceti too often. [Feel free to point out to him how much action you got recently Ace.]

[action]

[hiken_ace]

Nuh-uh. [Shaking his head in disbelief.]

Well, there was just a shift where a bunch of people fell in love. And then there were those weird fruits.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

You just don't know the right kind of girls.

Wait. What fruits? Like devil fruit?

[action]

[hiken_ace]

I'm pretty sure I've gotten a bit more experience than you, and I know girls better. [In one weekend alone...]

No, nothing like them. Just fruits that made people fall in love. It was kinda weird.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

Oi oi. You do not know girls better than me.

Fall in love? Huh. I'm sorry I missed it. Get any action?

[action]

[hiken_ace]

Pretty damn sure I do.

... yeah. [Not that he's too thrilled by it.]

[action]

[fierybluebird]

Like hell. Having them find you cute because of the freckles and pouts is not knowing them better.

Yeaaaah? Anything good?

[action]

[hiken_ace]

Wha-- they do not! I've met plenty of girls who think I'm hot, okay?

[He pauses for a minute.] At the time, it seemed to be.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

[Rolls his eyes. Damn twenty year olds. Everyone's hot at that age.]

And after the fact what's wrong?

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[...] After the shift, I decided I didn't like making out with my friends.

[Friends.]
