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.

I'm sorry, I'm no longer inclined to know you. [And she's teasing. Well, mostly. Feel lucky that she enjoys your personality]

[......... All of Marco's mental sobbing. EVEN KNOWING IT'S A JOKE.]

[Yup. He's gonna murder Ace.]

That bad, eh?

I'm gonna kill that boy. I need a hat.... [asdlkajsdlkajsd]

Absolutely hideous. You look like a murdered pineapple. Not entirely attractive, Bird-chan.

[All the mental sobbing.]

Definitely a hat... and hair dye remover... [Switches into phoenix to try to hide it, but oh that's right, he can't escape it there either.]

Much worse. [Good thing she has sunglasses honestly] Perhaps you can shave it? [While, not the best solution, would at least be hilarious rather than hideous]

[SEE HIS FACE ROBIN. No. That is not an option.]

Oi oi, no way... it's trademark! [You're just trying to make him look like Franky, aren't you?]

[A light shrug] It would grow back. [And Marco and Franky are two separate people. Anyway, Franky isn't so much bald as having options]

[Crazy cyborgs.]

Y-you'd really prefer it shaven than this?

[OTL]

....

[Interesting question. Very interesting]

And if I did?

I guess I'd consider it. Reluctantly. Still probably wouldn't go that far though. That's a very low possibility on the list.

I suppose I can get used to that color, if I must. [Only for you, Marco]

Eh? Seriously?

[Doki doki...] I'm still going to try to fix it though. I hate looking like Shanks.

Shanks is rather handsome, what I've seen of him. You look nothing like him.

[There is not enough deadpan in all the world to cover up Marco's reaction to that. Just a giant OTL and falling over, burying his head in arms leaning on his counter. And then running the kitchen sink and dunking his head under it. This just sort of... spreads the red however. When he gets back, he's got a pineapple dish towel wrapped around his head. Isn't he charming?]

H-handsome? You think Shanks is handsome? [And yet he, Marco the phoenix is not?]

[Fuck his life.]

[That is an interesting reaction. It seems to upset him though she can't imagine why. Of course she thinks that Shanks is handsome but she thinks quite a few men are handsome]

Yes. Does that bother you?

[Her eyes are fixed on the towel, though. That is rather adorable in a disturbing way]

[Don't tell him that either, he'll get even more tsun and vaguely jealous. And put them on his kick list. At least Shanks can find ways to bounce on and off that list with accidental ease.]

No.... [Lying. LYING SO MUCH. Not even like good lying. This is obvious horrible lying. Luffy is the only worse liar than this.] Well, maybe a little. [Must find something reasonable and not thoroughly petty to trash talk Shanks on!] You know he likes to be purposely annoying to people, right? [While true, Marco is a troll too so this would be invalid if he just had a smidge more self-awareness. He just thinks he likes to joke around. Whereas Shanks isn't joking, he's just being annoying. On purpose. That fiend. Because that's not a form of joking around at all, nope.]

Besides, you like his red hair and not mine? At least mine has nuance and depth! [... Don't even ask how that makes sense, Marco's not sure either, he's just going to bullshit this.]

The red makes you look ridiculous. [As was already pointed out] And I can't say much for his personality but handsomeness is not always based on how a person acts.

[After all, handsome bastards are still handsome. Though in that case she's more inclined to snap their necks than admire them]

Don't be jealous. It doesn't suit you. [And it's faintly annoying.]

[Huffs.] I'm not--

[Clicks his teeth shut for bit to buy himself time to not say something extra stupid. He's already got feathers full of red, a pineapple towel on his head and an urge to kick Shanks in the face with no explanation. Yup, now's a good time to cool it. There's a small flicker of emotions, but they're slammed behind a deadpan mask faster than you can say "Akagami."]

So what other men do you find handsome?

[... That might be masochism, but he asks purely as if it's just a matter of heading off to Grell's beauty salon and applying the correct traits. Either way, answering might not be the wisest idea. If that stops anything]

[How frustrating]

Don't ask such a foolish question. It doesn't matter. Do you really think I'm so concerned about appearances?

[Instantly grins, eyes dancing in amusement.]

I'm certain you aren't, or you wouldn't be with me.

[No one wearing a pineapple dishtowel on their head should be allowed to be this cocky. It needs to be a rule.]

[And what is with this smile? This mood? The statement?]

What makes you assume that I don't find you handsome? I merely said you don't look like Shanks.

[Blinks and he's confused. Well she also called Shanks handsome, which was more distressing... but Marco's not handsome. Cocky, pretty as a phoenix, and he's got other qualities, but...]

[He hops up to grab a seat on the counter, perching there and swinging his legs a little. Old habits die hard and preferring heights is one he'll never get rid of, especially with such tall family members to land on.]

Do you?

Besides somehow I think "murdered pineapple" implies other things, eh?

[Relaxes back, leaning against some of his cabinets and losing a lot of the joking around dramatics, letting slip a genuine softer grin show through.]

I just figured it didn't matter, eh.

[Unspoken: That he trusted she liked him, and for very different reasons.]
