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.

Don't ask such a foolish question. It doesn't matter. Do you really think I'm so concerned about appearances?
no subject
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.]
no subject
What makes you assume that I don't find you handsome? I merely said you don't look like Shanks.
1/2
[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?
2/2
I just figured it didn't matter, eh.
[Unspoken: That he trusted she liked him, and for very different reasons.]
no subject
I don't prefer you with red. But even if it were irreversible I would get used to it.
[And tease you about shaving you bald for the amusement of it. Despite her assurances her voice is fairly chilled]
no subject
What are your feelings on black? I've done that before, but it was after Thatch died. [Not that he exactly did it again after Pops died, but he's had other reasons for that.]
Hey Robin, you know I'd like you the same no matter what, right? [Even as a tall scruffy gruff marine after all.]
no subject
Still, give her a moment. She'll be looking away for a bit, trying to gather her thoughts and if you were anyone else, perhaps, it wouldn't matter as much]
I prefer blond. I'm not fond of change as a rule. But black is far better than red.
[She is not sure what to do with the other statement. She knows it and knows what it implies but she just isn't ready to look at it right now. There is still too much...] Likewise. After all, there are always wigs.
[And though her voice might sound a little hard, she's teasing]
no subject
Mah, but I always feel like I'm falling into hats. I'm not sure if that's because my brothers are too big, my head's too small, or a bird thing.
All right, I'll find a hair dye remover or bribe or threaten someone into making me one. No matter what, eh. [All bold determination again.]
no subject
If you need help I can always break someone in half. [And she is mostly serious about this, but not entirely, and certainly not above grabbing offending parties by the balls]
no subject
[Beams~] You know, that's the best offer I've had all day. I knew there was a reason I like you so much.
no subject
Perhaps. But I worry if Luffy spotted you, you'd wind up missing both a hat and a head and I'm not sure what I'd do without that mouth of yours.
[As for the second statement. She flips her hair over her shoulder]
You like me because you're a masochist. [She smiles] and that's why I like you.
no subject
[Grins,
checking her out from the hair flip. Hey it's reflex.And he hums something softly, eyes dancing in amusement again as he tries to settle on a good quip to return it with. In any case, she's definitely right. Though that's only one of a thousand reasons.] So long as we're a perfect pair with it. Just remind me to set a safety word later. Then again, I always did prefer to live dangerously. [Kidding? Serious? Some crazy combination of both? Who knows.]no subject
[And then she smirks]
If you dance with the Mugiwara, you'd better be prepared to leave safety behind.
no subject
Oh~? [If that was meant to be a deterrent, it failed spectacularly.] I've been known to dance with death before. And do the Mugiwara family do some literal dancing too?
no subject
Perhaps. But are you sure your hip is up to it, old man?
no subject
no subject
no subject
[Exaggerated sigh and he hops off the counter, props the journal up, and dances away for her.]
no subject
shaking his tailfeatherthis.]Hmm, maybe you should have done that instead of piracy. I think I would pay to see it.
[Though probably not as she is, after all, a pirate]
no subject
Or better yet, I'll only do this for you, and you should just join me next time.
[Guess what he's hoping their second date will be now.]
no subject
You'll have to teach me. Will I be safe in your hands, Bird-chan?
no subject
As safe as in my wings.
[Safe as possible, but still exciting. Just how he likes it.] I'll even tone down my fancy footwork if you need. [Clearly not an offer he makes to everyone, even if he does think she'll just refuse it anyway.]
no subject
Hmm. We'll see. I've never...danced with someone else.
[and if she sounds faintly self conscious it's only because she is. She's not the kind to back down from a challenge but she doesn't want to make a fool of herself either]
no subject
I'm sure you'll be a natural. And if nothing else, just trust me. I won't let anything bad happen.
[Actually if she really wanted to dance Marco would normally mumble something about admitting that Izou is the man to see to learn, but there's something he really likes about the idea of teaching her himself. Besides it's more about having fun than becoming an expert.]
