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.

Are we really going to have this argument again!? [Keep your sparkles away.]

Ugh, now I really need a shower.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

[Chuckles evilly and lets Ace have the water as he starts working the hair remover into his hair.]

You just can't admit when you're beat.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[Mmmm, the water feels nice.] Like hell I was beat. You can only give one person who actually likes sparkles.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

And Chun-Li. Two. Both girls.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

Wow, a whopping two girls out of how many dozen in Luceti.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

[FROWNS AT ACE. Give him a break man, how many does he even talk to enough to sparkle at them?]

Rei would probably like them too... [Not sulking.]

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[He raises an eyebrow while washing his hair.] Who's Rei?

[action]

[fierybluebird]

[Snaps his fingers. How could he forget?! HOW?! He was going to try to get them to meet. They both like fire! Too bad she's only fifteen so he can't set them up.]

Smart priestess girl. She's another fire starter like you. And she has two crows with her and does future telling things. You really have to meet her.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[First thought?] You'd better not try to set us up.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

[Deadpan, purely deadpan.]

She's too young for you. Not that I was thinking of it. [Liar.] You told me not to before after all.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[Liar.] Okay, just making sure. What's she like?

[action]

[fierybluebird]

Fire, smart priestess, girl-height. [Helpful Marco, so helpful.] Long black hair... I'll give you her journal name later so you can see for yourself.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[Yeah, that tells him so much.]</small. Mn, okay.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

You'd like her. And I like her crows. [Good job Marco.]

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[He laughs.] You would like her because of the birds.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

They're sweet, okay?

[action]

[hiken_ace]

Okay, okay, I'll take your word for it.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

Okay, I need the water again. Scoot.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

All right. [He scoots closer to him and then gives him a stupid smile. Yes, he's just fooling around.]

[action]

[fierybluebird]

Keep that up and I'll give you a reason to back off~

[action]

[hiken_ace]

Oh yeah~? [Ace, why do you think he won't do anything...]

[action]

[fierybluebird]

[Because Ace underestimates old pirates and the power of his freckles?]

Mm-hm~ [Plays a finger along Ace's cheekbones and leans into whisper.] But I didn't promise it'd be something you'd enjoy.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[Yeah, something like that. He's an idiot. Anyway, he hums softly in Marco's ear.]

Oh, is this it? I'm let down, Marco.

[action]

[fierybluebird]

[Grabs Ace's hands by the wrist and presses him back up against the shower wall. He gives him a long dirty look as though imagining Ace spread out in several positions, smirking to himself all the while... and then goes to the water.]

Nope, changed my mind. Too young after all. [Whistles to himself, quickly rinsing out everything he can before, before Ace decides to tackle or punch him for that.]

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[He stays there frozen and blushing for a good long while, and when he finally snaps out of it, he gives Marco a good kick. He's about to walk out when he decides... well, revenge is a Whitebeard pirate thing.

So that is why he ignores that little voice in his head telling him to stop, and instead comes up behind Marco. He knows his ears are his weakness, so for one ear, he places his mouth over it to gently, yet sensually nibble it. The other he rubs between his thumb and forefinger, all the while lowly humming in his ear. Yeah, he's evil.]
