fierybluebird | [Action / Accidental Video] In which baby phoenixes flail a lot

[Early Monday morning Marco is finally returned from his kidnapping. A lot tinier.]

[He wakes up by kicking his book open and there's a teeny tiny baby bluebird phoenix cocking an eye at the pages. Hello Luceti. Finally he decides it's just a blank journal so he hops back and goes to take in his surroundings, and checks the area around the fountain very carefully. Wet. Do not want. Well, he's bored now. Time to fly home.]

[That would work a lot better without this creepy added weight. What the hell! NO! HE CAN'T FLY?! So after several jumps, the hand-sized phoenix jumps about and tries to get air. Which much to his dismay, does nothing. With the added new weight of the fake Luceti wings, he can't fly! Eventually he just gives up and starts flailing.]

Pops! Pops! Pops! [There are a few more baby birdie chirps of this.] Uwah brothers! ANYONE! Where are you guys?!

[Walks around and looks distraught.] I must'a hurt my wings. But that makes no sense... because I'm a phoenix. [Sits back down and sulks for now. Oh, look a stranger! He starts to rush to hide behind the fountain, but well, he's not getting anywhere on his own... so he'll have to try something!]

Excuse me! Have you seen anyone really really tall around? Wait. No. What island is this? I don't remember docking? AH! Have you see Edward Newgate; my Pops around? It's really important, yoi! [At which point... he remembers he's a bird. And realizes nothing he said probably came out in human (it all did because lulz Luceti) so just have a deapan baby birdie stare.]

Well...yeah, it's his flag. Or, well, given your description I'm pretty sure it is. I haven't seen any other flags around here either, so there's that.

[In about twenty or so minutes, Norma's at the community building where marco and Ace live as well as where the flag still stand, waving in the light breeze that passes every now and there. It's pretty high up from where they are on the ground, and Norma can barely see the finer details, but she points up there regardless.]

See? Waaaay up there! We can go get a closer look, if you want.

We have the only flag here? [Definite note of pride to his voice and he nods.] Yes please!

Oh, do white bananas taste good?

[Hey, he never said what kind of moon!]

Of course. Help yourself to as much as you want. [He grabs a bowl and a fork, placing them on the counter before he fetches the pasta out of the fridge. Compared to his other dishes, it's not nearly as fancy - but then, that might be one of the reasons Sanji likes it as much as he does.

He spoons out a healthy amount into the bowl before looking at Marco expectantly]

There ya go.

No government.

[It's all she replies before looking for Marco -- what he may be right now.

... It's a young one.]

... Hello.

[And unsurprised by her height. She kneels.]

Thank you!!

[Pounces the food, happily eating away, finally quiet for a bit.] AH! This is really good, yoi!

[Beams at her and offers a handshake.]

I'm Marco, yoi.

Is this place like Wano Island, then? No world government and all closed off?

I don't know. Maybe once you remove the peel!

[Giggles.... :| Because of course peeled bananas are pretty white. orz. His adult humor is more sophisticated...]

It's the only one I've seen, at least.

[Though Norma hasn't exactly been looking around for other flags or has gone around Luceti much more than her usual hang-out spots, but Marco doesn't have to know that. Instead, she just nods and heads inside the building and into the elevator, heading for the roof. And, once they get out, Norma pushes open the door aaand--]

Ta-daaaah~! We arrive!

Yay!

[Runs over and sits next to the flag and bottles and peers at them.]

That's a lot of bottles. [Said so seriously.]

Isn't it?

[Ha, there will be time for modesty later. Right now Sanji is going to track down a bowl-full for himself ~~and enjoy the quiet~~. He didn't realize how hungry he was]

[Om nom nom nom food! His eyes will just sparkle with glee.]

Ahhh you're so lucky, you can eat this whenever you want!

[Grune naturally takes this completely seriously.]

Yes, a banana with the peel on wouldn't taste very good, would it?

[Norma might beg to differ.]

I don't think those are edible, yoi. [Just a little deadpan.]

Yeah, I know, I like to drink.

[Norma, your pokerface kinda stinks. She's grinning and laughing softly as she heads to the flagpole a lot slower than the little kid, looks up at it with a smile on her face. Mm...Norma's really glad it managed to stay up during the storm she heard about, she was worried about it for a while.]

Hmm.... I don't think so, either. You might get sick if you ate them like that.

[And she completely doesn't notice.]

... Something like it.

[She takes it, smiling to him. However, for now, she'd have to hide her military origins. It seems only after a while did the pirates and Keimi accept any sort of people from any world's armed forces.]

We do what we can to help eachother in spite of our differences. We have plenty of food, for instance.

[Stifling a laugh by stuffing his mouth with a sandwich. Then he goes to fetch a pitcher of juice and fills a glass for each one of them.]

Do all strong people have manliness sparkles? Or is that something only Whitebeard has? Ace told me lots about your Pops, but I think he forgot to mention that.

[Yeah, Ace thinks he's going to need that.] Hmmm, I think just Pops has them, right, Marco?

Heh, in shitty theory. But the truth is I don't always, especially when my captain's at the table.

[She nods gravely.]

I'm sorry I can't do much. I'm far away, in the ocean.

What? Why not?

Aye! Rogers tried for sparkles, but Rogers isn't cool enough! So he just got a stupid copycat mustache to copy Pops instead!

[How much of this is made up Marco will never say.]

[Actually, young Marco has less fear/hatred of marines than older Marco, just people in general and he's clearly been trying to get over that thanks to his Pops and brothers.]

That's good, yoi! It must be easier here with all the land, not like Foodvalten.

What else does everyone help out on?

Aye, that's why they taste bad. So that people don't.
