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.

[You've lost her completely, though she imagines you're teasing. Still...]

Perhaps. But are you sure your hip is up to it, old man?

[fierybluebird]

Oi oi, you should see these hips do the Samba. [He's not gay, honestly.]

[toujoursfluer]

Hmm. Very well. [She's watching (and he'd better not be after all this)]

[fierybluebird]

What, right now? It's less fun alone you realize. Then I have to do both parts.

[Exaggerated sigh and he hops off the counter, props the journal up, and dances away for her.]

[toujoursfluer]

[Perhaps it's less fun but she is rather enjoying the view. He really is very good at shaking his tailfeather this.]

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]

[fierybluebird]

I'll have to keep that in mind. We can do a Whitebeard stripper fundraiser to get a new ship.

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.]

[toujoursfluer]

[Second option, obviously, because she couldn't imagine how many funds you'd actually be able to raise]

You'll have to teach me. Will I be safe in your hands, Bird-chan?

[fierybluebird]

[Wow. Harsh. They could probably make a fortune on Vista alone. Manliest hairy chest on a mustached bishie ever.]

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.]

[toujoursfluer]

[True, but he is neither a cyborg nor pineapple and so therefore she's not interested]

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]

[fierybluebird]

[Most reasonable types ever Robin.]

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.]
