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.

Not real zombies, I'm not Gecko Moria.

[Because that makes it all better.]

So if they're not 'real' zombies, what kind of zombies are they then? Fake ones?

Right! Like a fake army to surprise him.

Sounds like an interesting plan. In fact, that might just be the kind of prank I can in a way admire just because it's so well thought out.

.. Even if it's completely ridiculous, that is.

It would take too many volunteers and like I said, he'd probably just burn them all. So while it'd be hilarious on someone like......

[Pauses as he tries to think of a brother who wouldn't wreak havoc with it. Yeah he has none. Rakuyo would feed them to his chain chomp, Blamenco would go "hammer smash!" Izou and Curiel would shoot them, Vista's reaction would be hilarious except that it's still running the risk of him cutting them to pieces...]

Maybe most of the Luceti, it's harder to find something a guy who can turn into fire won't just burn, eh?

.. Ah, yeah. It sounds like if you'd make anything remotely scary pop up around that guy, he'd just burn it to pieces. Better never take him to a haunted house at this rate.

You know... I think I did once. [Remembering face.] Come to think, that was how we got banned from the entire island and Thatch had to smooth things over with stealing some of Pops' booze.

Good times.

[Lesson never learned.]

[ He's one of those types, huh.. ]

I have to admit I'm not entirely surprised to hear all of that.

[Y u p.]

Aye, I guess we were always a little bit wild, eh?

From as far as I can tell from your little prank war in this place, you're definitely wild. Even more than 'a little bit'.

But.. whatever, right? As long as you don't involve other people in it, just go and have your fun.

Well, Nico Robin did get involved.... but that was her choice.

Honestly I'm not sure if she's just trying to make us both uneasy or if she's actually plotting something. Which of course... is an uneasy concern. She's diabolical. [Spoken with a bit too much admiration.]

But we avoid getting anyone stuck in the middle who doesn't want to be. Hmm... I wonder if I could turn Sabo to my side...

Don't say you wouldn't get anyone else stuck in it and then wonder out loud if you can convince someone to join in.. [ a tiny sigh, but she doesn't seem to care too much either way. ]

But do you think she's planning to become some sort of third party in the whole war?

Haha... Oops. [He doesn't seem too apologetic though.]

So she says. She hasn't made her first move yet... or if she did it was subtle. So she might just be trying to make us nervous. Or see if we'll prank her first.

The suspense is growing, I see. [ deadpan tone as usual, though.. ] Soon you'll be able to make it into a TV show. Either that or a betting pool on who'll get defeated first.

Oh hey, I'll take that bet. Ace to be defeated first, and then Robin will beat me.

[Wow. Betting halfway against himself =\]

Is this Robin person seriously that frightening? I didn't think you were the type to assume that you would lose in the end.

[He's just going to... casually show her this thread.]

Don't get me wrong, I'd give it my best, but -- [He doesn't even know how she got Franky to join but he knows she's got a reputation, she's not above hitting below the belt... and yes, she's very intimidating. At least she hasn't even borrowed Fujiko's bear traps yet.] -- everyone's got a limit. Oh well, it's the fight that's the best part more than the end result, don't you think?

Edited 2012-07-13 15:19 (UTC)

.. You guys sure are.. an interesting bunch. [ :| ]

So.. sure, yeah, the fight is probably the best part. And I'm sure I'll hear more about it sooner or later at this rate.

Ha. Aye. And that's without even the rest of my brothers here. With even just the division commanders it'd get really crazy.

Oh you will~ If I have any say in it, my revenge on Ace will definitely be heard.

At this rate someone should just put this string of journal entries together. It'd make for a good movie, I bet.

If I could be my own bookie, I'd do it to take the bets. But I'd purposely skew the results. [Does it help that at least he owns up to this?]

[ for the most part - since most people Ange knows who do that kind of stuff aren't exactly honest about it.. ]

You don't have to tell them that.

Hm.

But no one would trust me either way. [... Rightfully so.] Even if I left out the stuff Ace did to me, if I got enough bets in my favor, I might totally throw it to collect the winnings.

[Worst pirate. That only works when you don't tell people that you've considered this as an option Marco.]

You should feel glad that I don't exactly feel like exposing such a corrupt plan. [ if only Ange cares a little more about.. well.. things in general.. ]

You're little different compared to people back home for me though. And they weren't even pirates in name.

You think so?

From what I understand, I'm very one of a kind, but which way do you mean?
