Appointment Post 2.0 since the other is pretty full
[Voice]
Hey, couldn't get to the comm right away, probably out kicking things. Since that doesn't last long, leave me a message and I'll get back to you as fast as I can, eh?
[Written]
Have a haiku.
There was a bluebird
Who was too busy for you
Leave me a message

[Ace sighs.] My time there... it's going to run out eventually. I wish it wouldn't, but it will. [He immediately hugs him back, though he keeps his gaze to the ground.] Okay, I'll admit it. I am scared. This would be a really big step in my life, and I'm not even sure I'd be ready for any of it. I've barely even thought about settling down in my entire life.
You're doing our job right. I'm really, really happy to see you everyday, all right? I promise I'm happy.
[fourth wall - discedo]
[Head nudge.] I believe you. And I'm not saying rush into anything, just don't give up. [That's the part that scares Marco. So he switches into phoenix form and gives Ace a better hug.]

[discedo fourth wall]
You know how to make dim sum? [ Well, that won him over in a big way. ] What kind?
[ He pauses a moment, like he's thinking. ] It was really neat, that you let me fly around with you.
[discedo fourth wall]
The kind that goes well with tea. [That's a joke, since they're all supposed to go well with tea.] Mostly vegetarian, but I've made some meat ones for Luffy before. [Just sort of "meat" since the meat in Discedo is weird at best so Marco leaves it vague even though he goes hunting for it.]
And it was my pleasure to take you flying, eh? Good company is always welcome.
[Action | Discedo 4th Wall]

Well, I know someone who may be drawing me a picture of it. It's not exactly the same, but close enough, right? Tell you what, if I show up here sometime again, I'll try n' remember it. [This is why these two shouldn't be allowed to be alone together.]

Aye, thanks little matey. I would love to see that.

When Marco came out, then he'd take off the hoodie and show him the tattoo.]
June 15th
[Force of habit. He knows Ace can cook, he knows Ace can fend for himself, but neither of those are why Marco likes to cook for him. That said, he's a bit fidgety, trying not to ask but it's clear how much he's dying to...]
How'd it go?

July 20th/Nothere!Action/Predated
There is also a note:]
Mister Marco:
I imagine you already know about the matter of the Marine's handcuffs from Miss Robin. She graciously let me in on the fun. To that end, here is three keys to his seastone handcuffs and a master copy to forge more if you so choose. Please extend my thanks to the lady when you see her next.
Regards;
T. Law
July 20th/Nothere!Action/Predated
[Later that evening, Law will find a similar box, but black with a yellow bow (and maybe a few blue sparkles for good luck). Inside is a box of two cookies (one for Law and one for Itachi) and a thank you note. This way no matter who spots it (Grell or Smoker included) it will probably throw them off. With ridiculousness.]
Thanks!
I know just who these will look great on! I'll pass it along to the other bird, I hope you two had fun!

27th! /pretends timely mods are timely
[Is this how Squardo felt but on a grander scale?]
Pops, I...
[He hangs his head, and grabs a seat, perching on the armrest of the couch, far away from his Pops as he doesn't even feel worthy to be next to him right then.]
I don't know what came over me. [He feels about two feet tall. Like he was a little kid that just used sharpie markers to decorate his Pops' walls without thinking about it. His shoulders quiver. He has to be strong. Has to be.] I... You know that wasn't me.
[He gulps and wants to curl in on himself. With anyone else he'd have turned into a bird by now to get away from it even just a little, but he respected his father too much to hide like that. He'd face it like a man. He'd lost control and if Whitebeard hadn't saved him he'd have gone a lot more overboard. Even now his Pops was always saving him.]
I-I'm sorry Pops. [His voice breaks, which is fitting, because he feels like the rest of him is about to.]

Luceti / August 18th Morning
And this was not his apartment.
The window was on the wrong side and while the amount of books was certainly a familiar thing, the locations weren't and--
Oh holy shit he was in Robin's bed.
Marco just froze in place as he the last week flooded him.
....
He'd been snuggled by boobs and too small to understand the glory of that.
He wasn't sure if that was an amazing thing he should just appreciate even happened, or if it was completely fair to be frustrated over the obviously missed opportunity.
And uh speaking of which. What the hell should he do about his girlfriend in bed next to him?
Shit shit shit. This was the Straw-Hat house and he had brothers to look after -- and actually that was okay, because they wouldn't know he was back to adult yet. But still.
He should probably get out of there before Robin's crew woke up at least, right?
Hell if Marco knew. He didn't like the idea of leaving her without saying anything and just disappearing. Especially not given the way he'd last spoken to her when he was an adult. He definitely couldn't do that to her again.
He focused on breathing steadily to calm down and take stock of his situation and bent over to kiss her cheek.]
Thank you for putting up with me, eh? [Quietly whispered.]
[She probably wouldn't hear as she was still asleep, but he wanted to say it anyway. Not just for the week and the way he left, but all the times in between as well. She was the best and damn she deserved better than him.]
Luceti / August 18th Morning
What?
And then the brush of a breath and she startled a little at the kiss and with the whisper she knew. She opens her eyes to look at Marco. As she is used to seeing him. Different emotions surge through her. Far too early to sort them out. Far too early to feel them. He's back. Good.]
I liked you better when you were little.
[that chill you feel has nothing to do with the weather. And she turns over so she won't have to look at him]

Hey Turtledove!
Happy birthday!!! Sorry, but I gotta miss it this time around, though. Maybe next year, okay? You can come pick up your presents whenever you want, just let G-Girl or the others know you're stopping by, okay? They're on my bed! You better like them!
Love,
Norma ♥
[And when Marco does come to pick up the items, Norma's room will be a little messy, but not nearly as much as it could have been had she fought back or tried to run. Her bed is made and on it is a box, cutely wrapped with a blue ribbon. Inside will be a throw blanket with a flame pattern and a silver necklace. There's also a bag of baked foods inside as well.]
[Written - Action | October 4th]
[Marco doesn't finish writing it, just takes a guess that Norma is pulling the exact same bullshit he did when he was getting kidnapped, and instantly takes off to fly over there. Even if he can't fight the droids, maybe he can get there in time to give her a hug and demand she come back as soon as possible.]
[He gets there too late and just curls up on her bed, afraid that if kicks or so much as touches anything while he's still so furious, it'll break. It's a little while before he bothers unwrapping the presents, and instantly puts the necklace on and hugs the blanket, leaving her a message in a thank you card for when she gets back.]
Thank you Buttercup, I'll treasure them every day. Come back soon.
Love,
Marco
[And with that, he figures he better go find Grune.]
Sept 8th
Hey, Marco. You got a minute?

Oct 4th
[By the time Marco comes out of the apartment, Sabo's already clambering up in one of the open windows at the end of the hall, clearly intending to leap on the tree nearby to make his way down. Never mind that this is from the 8th floor. He got this; he leaped/fell from cliffs in Mt. Corvo higher than this before, after all.
He freezes at Marco's call, but he hesitated only for a moment before jumping off.]
Oct 4th
[As Marco has a mental breakdown worrying about his youngest brother, he quickly follows soon after, jumping out the window and switching into phoenix form along the way. Normally if Sabo was that determined to get away from him, he'd let the kid go, but from this high up, he's just worried that Sabo attempted something suicidal just now.]
Oi!
If you want space you can have it, but don't do crazy things like that, you could get killed.
And I don't need the heart attack.
[Spirals down in a circle looking for Sabo almost like a vulture.] Are you okay?

November 1st [Luceti]
Hey not bad cutie. Eight floors up? At least you've got this cat reflexes thing down, eh?
[Clears off any books and papers and pats the top of his bed for her to jump to; a fleece blanket with blue flames on top (present from Norma) and searches her face as much as possible for clues and insight to her inner emotions. It's always a challenge with Robin, an exciting one, but certainly a challenge, and now that she's a cat, well, it's still hard. Mostly just different, but that was exciting in its own way.]
What's wrong? [He decides there's something wrong, and while he has several guesses, he's trying more to figure out whether she wants to talk about it, or simply focus on something unpainful for now. There was a lot to be said for pleasant distractions in Marco's opinion, but he's been trying to get better at the whole "talking about things." It hasn't been working great yet, but he hasn't given it a lot of time if he's honest with himself.]

involving blue cowgirl outfits and pony-bird rides I mean nobut not the whole day at least.][Marco gives an amused wry grin, and gestures for Ikki to join him inside the Straw Hat house -- a surefire sign he's on good terms with the archaeologist again.]
