[Action / Video]

[Hello Luceti. Hanging out around the Library? Item shop? Food shop? Pretty much wherever you are, you might spot a certain insane poster and the pirate putting it up. All right, who let Marco have some art supplies? Well you're all about to be punished for it, because even if you're a recluse, he makes sure to post it on the journal too.]

[In a purely deadpan tone Marco switches to showing off a plate of cookies.] Join. We have cookies.

And can anyone tell me about their world's sports? Is Hit & Dead Ball or Dodgeball universal, what about Red and Green Light? If we had a games tournament here, what games would everyone like to see in it? And what kind of rewards?

[Sweet gods in the celestial plain, that is a monstrosity. If she were anyone else, Miyabi may find that insulting against her passion towards art. But she's actually trying hard not to burst out laughing, smothering her giggles with her hand.]

Hit and dead ball...? [That sounds horrible...] When my friends and I were younger, we used to see who could hop across the mushroom tops the fastest, or we'd race on the animals in Wep'Keer.

Like dodgeball.

[Laughs.] That sounds like fun. I guess you'd be good at a Donut race, eh?

[Ahaha, she doesn't know what dodgeball is, either. 8Da Nor what a donut race is - considering the face she makes at the mere mention. Though the fact that Miyabi's thinking about the delectable baked treat may not be helping her thought process either.]

Uhm...d-donut race? How do you...race..uhm.

[Pirate sports are weird.]

That's just what it's called because it goes around in a circle. It's a ship building race using two barrels and then racing around in a donut shape.

O-Oh...well then, I don't think I'd be very good at that at all. I can't build much of anything, really, and the only thing I've ever been on the water with is a lilypad! [Maybe if she learned to create gusts of wind to move things about, then she'd actually be useful, but...she can't do that yet.]

Why are you asking anyway, Mister marco? Are you going to play some games?

Aye, that's what I'm thinking.

If I tell you the whole story, will you promise not to tell anyone else yet?

[Quickly throwing up a filter, Miyabi nods and smiles brightly. Yeaaah, secrets!]

I promise not to tell!

I'm going to challenge the others to a game of Davy Back Fight. The ninjas too if they're willing.

Davy Back? [Why does that sound so familiar and make Miyabi squint and frown rather uncomfortably? She grumbles a little, then remembers - that's the icky game Ace told her about, where you bet your friends, isn't it? Why would--]

You're going to play that game? Why would you want to play something like that?

For fun and pride.

I want to show off that the Whitebeard pirates are the best.

...Doesn't sound very fun if you bet your friends. [Mumble, mumble.]

And I already know how good and strong you and Ace are. ...But your mind is already made up, isn't it?

I won't play for keeps. Just for a week of favors, eh?

Aye. I'm going through with this.

Few people around here understand what it means to be a pirate. The point is even in fun and games, it's laying everything on the line, with all your conviction.

Oh... [Well. That's not too bad. And Miyabi feels a little sheepish for overreacting the way she did. But the talk with Ace forever ago about this game made her really...adverse toward it. It seemed like such a vile sport. But if it's not really for real, and really just a game for fun, it actually sounded enjoyable!]

That doesn't sound so bad if it's not for real... Mm, I'm sorry I acted the way I did, that was very rude of me. Uhm--what games will be included?

Depends on the other captains, but I'd like to have a bit of something for everyone.

And mah, it's okay to react like that, but we'd only put willing participants on the line, eh? Anyone can refuse, it's just to prevent wars.

Hmm...let me know what you decide then, I may play! If it's not for real, it actually sounds like a lot of fun. I can't promise I'll be very good, but I'll try hard.

[She's fit, she's feisty, and she's pretty fast - comes with being small and pretty acrobatic.]

You'd probably do well in the Donut Race I bet! Or Red Light, Green Light. Or Captain May I? [Think Mother May I, but way more ridiculous.]

Would you be willing to play against the Straw Hat crew though?

[Pffft--as much as it'd hurt having to play against her closest friends, it may be fun, too. Definitely a change of pace. Hmm...]

I could...

Then you have a standing invitation to join the family, eh. But if you'd rather help them when the time comes, I'll understand.

[Family, hm? Miyabi smiles at the thought, but shakes her head to the camera. Sorry, Marco, you're a little too late.]

While I appreciate the offer, I'm afraid Luffy and his crew will always be a part of my family now. [Or, well, mostly Sanji and Nami and kindasorta Zoro, thanks to a particular Luceti experiment.] But playing against them would be fun, and a change... Ehehe, if you do need me, you offered first, so I'll do what I can for your team instead.

I appreciate it, though I'm starting to think you're just worried about losing to me, eh~?

[Marco, are you really trying to goad her? Because it's working.] Eeh? I don't think losing to you will be much of a problem.

Oh you're good at losing, huh?

[He is indeed trying to goad her. After all, if the Straw Hats are family, she should fight for their pride. That's what these games are all about.]

Small people say big things...

[Jerkface. She may not know the games, but if it's anything she can do, it'll be done with the best of her efforts. Miyabi never does things without all of her conviction and effort - she's a perfectionist through and through, with any endeavor.]

If you cry, I won't think less of you, Marco.

I appreciate that, eh. I'm prone to high bursts of emotion.

[He says in emotionless deadpan. :|]

[Okay, that gets a laugh out of her, a loud one this time. Marco pls.] I'll keep a handkerchief for you!
