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.

Why not?

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Because he does it to be annoying.

[Voice]

[lostinmyway]

[Blink.]

Oh, I'm sure that isn't true. Because that wouldn't be a fun game at all.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

It had its moments.

[Voice]

[lostinmyway]

Does it?

[Then does that make it a good game after all?]

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Yes. But not always.

[Voice]

[lostinmyway]

Well then, you should tell him when it isn't being fun. Then he can change the game so it always is.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

[In which Marco remembers quite bluntly yelling, "OI LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO MY NAKAMA?!" and "SHUT UP!" Yeah. Shanks doesn't take no for an answer. Oh well, making up an answer.]

I can't.

Call it a rule of the game. That's why it's annoying.

[Voice]

[lostinmyway]

Oh.

...Why don't you suggest another game to play?

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Like what?

[Not that he actually wants to play games with Shanks but if it distracts him then it's a really good point...]

[Voice]

[lostinmyway]

Hmm.... You could try Hide and Seek.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

We tried that. He sent a messenger instead. Cheater.

[Voice]

[lostinmyway]

My, that isn't very nice.

What about tag?

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Somehow I don't see that working too well....

[Icon = his acutal mental image of how that would go.]

[Voice]

[lostinmyway]

Don't you?

[Oh boy.]

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Aye, definitely not.

He's got one arm and I can fly and anything he'd do to lure me back would be way worse than the game we play now.

[Voice]

[lostinmyway]

[My, this is a little complicated.]

What about I Spy?

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Maybe. I'm pretty sure he would find some way to make that annoying, but maybe.

[Voice]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, but I Spy is such a fun game. I'm sure you would both enjoy it if you tried it.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

I'm really not sure about that, but I'll tell you what. If you ever feel like playing sometime, I'll play with you, eh?

[Voice]

[lostinmyway]

All right! I'd love to play with you, Marco!

[And she says this with perfect sincerity, completely unaware of how else this could be taken....]

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Okay, I spy with my little eye, something blue!

[Voice]

[lostinmyway]

[Hooray! Grune somehow manages to sound even happier now that she's playing a game with Marco.]

Is it the ocean?

[It certainly isn't his feathers anymore....]

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Nope! Keep guessing.

[Indeed. Stupid dye.]

[Voice]

[lostinmyway]

Is it the sky?

[This could take a while.]
