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.

Then wait it out and plot your revenge in the meantime. You're a big, strong pirate. I'm sure you'll manage.

XD

[fierybluebird]

Bigger and better than him in any case.

[mikangirl]

I don't know, Marco. I think he works a pair of heels better than you would.

[Oh well, guess it's plain Nami was eavesdropping on that entry.]

[fierybluebird]

Works them right into a table.

Izou taught me how to handle heels ages ago. I guess he never got around to corrupting Ace that much. Or Ace was too drunk for them.

[Embarrassed by heels? Not Marco's thing. It takes being Shanks to embarrass him. Apparently.]

[mikangirl]

Hoohh? What a pity I didn't know that before. I could have entered you into the crossdressing pageant.

[fierybluebird]

We had one here?

Oh, but don't get me wrong, I don't pull off okama too well. I hate shaving. Besides, I wonder what Izou would say... He'd either be proud of me or get mad that I was stealing his thing.

When was it?

[mikangirl]

[Wow, Marco, are you ever out of the loop. Nami blinks at him.]

It's in three days' time.

[Product of a mun who keeps forgetting to check the ooc comm, and slightly anti-social muses.]

EH? SERIOUSLY?

2/2

[fierybluebird]

Damn. Too bad there's no way I can sign Ace up for it after last time. That would have been some hell of a payback...

But he'd probably stop talking to me... forever.

Anyone we know entering?

[nothing]

[hiken_ace]

[Feel this glare, Marco. Feel it. He knows you're cooking up something.]

[mikangirl]

Hey, there's bound to be another one if there's enough interest.

...hmm. I couldn't say, to be honest. I've been too busy to really pay attention.

[fierybluebird]

[Ignores Ace's glare.]

I'll have to keep it in mind next time then.

Heh, with good things I hope?

[mikangirl]

[You're getting a Marco pls look.]

I've been picking up dead bodies for the last week.

[fierybluebird]

So... no. Not so much.

[Epic fail.]

Draft?

[mikangirl]

Mission. [Okay, and she's exaggerating besides, so she relents.] That was a few days ago, granted. I came back from that mission and threw a birthday party out of self defence.

1/2

[fierybluebird]

I had no idea they were that bad.

[He's quiet toned. He'd somehow thought they were more like missions from Pops on the Moby Dick. Sure, Marco got tortured on a kidnapping, but it still wasn't Impel Down or anything close to what the World Government or even the other Pirate Emperors would have done if they'd caught him. And with the missions being voluntary...]

2/2

[fierybluebird]

[He chippers up though, not about to let a friend or even a friend of a friend stay down for long.]

Still looking for a distraction?

[mikangirl]

[Don't worry, Marco. It doesn't take much. She quirks a faint grin at that.] I'm looking at one right now.

They're usually not that bad, though. They vary.

[fierybluebird]

[Sticks his tongue out.] And I'm not even sparkling yet. [...] It'd probably clash a lot now though. At least they can't be dyed.

So have you ever been on a fun one?

[mikangirl]

[She grins. But that question--] I don't think any of them can be classed as 'fun', but there've been a couple I found interesting. There's been a couple of ones where I've had to sail! Being out on the ocean again was-- okay yeah, fun. And once they sent me to dig up artifacts in a ruin which was kind of a learning experience.

[fierybluebird]

Whoa, archaeology huh? I might have to sign up for something like that if they ever have it again.

What were you doing when sailing?

[mikangirl]

Escort duty on a cargo ship. Attacks at sea, that kind of thing.

[fierybluebird]

That doesn't sound too bad, eh.

How dangerous were the attacks?

[mikangirl]

Depends on your point of view. For a Grand Line pirate, nothing that couldn't be handled.

[For others, somewhat nastier, she thinks.]

[fierybluebird]

[Which means for a New Worlder, it's less than nothing.]

So the Drafts are definitely worse.
