AAAAACCCEEEE!!!!!

[Hark! It's the roar of an angry phoenix in pirate form.]

MY SHAMPOO?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! Oh god it's even in my feathers! MY FEATHERS ACE!!! AHHH WHY'D YOU HAVE TO PICK RED?! Even raven black would have been better! I look like I hero-worship Shanks now! I swear when I find you Ace!

[For anyone getting a good look in the journal, Marco's hair has been badly dyed red, oh yeah and he looks every bit as ticked off as he sounds. Later on however, he'll be sporting a fedora to cover up that Akagami-wannabe look, and looking for hair dye remover. Or bleach. Or as a last resort, black hair dye. Anything's better than red with him. He will also be putting up posters: "Ever want to be a pirate? Join the Whitebeards! Limited time offer" though more on that later. And even more than that, a certain usually very blue bird will have a slightly red and purple tinge to his feathers for a little while. So not pleased. Still, he'll be around to help out any New Feathers or someone needing directions to town. And if anything, he arguably looks more like a traditional phoenix. Not that he wants that.]

[Later on that night when he stops trying to beat Ace to a pulp there will be a second very short post.]

Does anyone have hair dye remover, bleach, or something in black? I couldn't find any in the shop. Thanks, eh.

[... okay fine, he'll get off of you.]

There hasn't really been much need to protect us lately, Marco!

[action]

[fierybluebird]

There still could be! And even if there isn't, it's embarrassing. [Hides under a wing.]

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[He'll just flick your beak.] How the hell do you think I felt when you put me in those shitty dresses?

[action]

[fierybluebird]

You mean afterwards?

[action]

[hiken_ace]

Yeah.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

[Headbutts and switches back to phoenix, just leaving his head there against Ace.]

I look like a murdered pineapple....

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[... awww, Marco. He just puts a hand on your head.] You do not. For one thing, the red would be all over, not just at the top.

You look like a pineapple who got it going on with a strawberry. [He'll just make him laugh. Because that totally will.]

[action]

[fierybluebird]

Har har... [ALMOST BUT NO THAT IS STILL WRONG.]

No... that's what Robin said. That I look like a murdered pineapple. [SAD PHOENIX FACE AT YOU. She doesn't find him attractive anymore! Granted she was always more into his mind, but gosh. Sad phoenix face!]

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[Robin. Really? He just sighs.] Marco, she's probably just teasing you or something. You don't seriously believe her, do you?

[action]

[fierybluebird]

No, I know. [Pecks Ace's fingers anyway.]

It's still awful!

Although getting in my feathers was clever. [Huff.]

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[He just smirks like the devil at that.] I know. I'm proud of it.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

[>:| HUFFS!]

Brat.

[Kicks!] Some kind of chemical that reacts with the fire I take it?

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[He laughs, just shaking his head.] Nope, just hair dye.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

[Lkajdlaskjd /headbutts Ace again.]

I'm going to get you for this. I hope you realize: this means war.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[He just laughs and nudges his head. Yes. He is going to play the little brother card.]

Do your worst. [Yes, that is a challenge.]

[action]

[fierybluebird]

You don't even know how bad my worst will be.

[He will fuck you up. Or at least your hat. Or at least pretend to.]

[action]

[hiken_ace]

I don't see how you could do worse than the dresses. Unless you go for gay chicken horrible or something.

[Which he kinda doubts you'll do.

Hopefully, you won't. You won't, right? >>]

[action]

[fierybluebird]

I'm too mad for gay chicken. That's how mad I am.

[Sulking.]

[action]

[hiken_ace]

Is any of this ringing any bells for you? At all? How you're acting? How I acted after you got me in those dresses?

[Getting the picture, Marco?]

[action]

[fierybluebird]

[Huffs and goes back to birdie mode.] Except I was already getting revenge in the first place. That should like mitigate some of it.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

And what do you think I was doing with this?

[SERIOUSLY, MARCO.]

[action]

[fierybluebird]

Upping the ante! [Headbutt.] But I'm onto you and upping it more!

[He's just being a big baby.]

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[Okay, he can joke this along. He'll just play the little bro card again, and hope Marco will buy it. He nudges his head gently, and give shim a slightly depressed look. No, seriously, it looks really, really convincing.]

Hey... you're not going to do anything too terrible... are you?

[Giving you the saddest and most endearing look here.]

[action]

[fierybluebird]

[Oh fuck you Ace. He knows it's not real. He knows it's not real. He's absolutely certain it's fakey fake like the idea of safety in the Grand Line.]

[That doesn't stop it from working though.]

No. It'll be fine. [Pats Ace's head with a red wing and gets blue sparkles on him in punishment.] We're still brothers, no matter what, eh?

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[And now you get one of those adorable little brother smiles. The really, really happy kind.]

No matter what! [Inwardly he's screaming about the sparkles. But he hugs him anyway.] You're the best brother still.
