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.]

[Laughs!] You liar! Even Pops would have to take a while to drink that much!

[Huffs and scrubs his face determinedly.]

That's okay, yoi. I'll protect us both. And my brothers.

I wasn't Pops' right hand man for nothing, eh? [POSES!]

That's the spirit, little Marco-sama!

[She claps]

My, that's very smart.

[They think of everything these days, don't they?]

[That laughter is contagious, and Norma grins and shifts her weight on her heels.]

Me? Lie? Oh, never! I am the most honest and sincere person you'll ever meet!

Something like that. I'm gonna read more biology books when I can so then I could explain it better!

[He won't explain it better, but he could.]

Nuh-uh! You should meet Vista. He's a terrible liar.

Vista?

[Wasn't that the one with...hm, which was it? Marco's talked so much about his brothers, so... Wait, it was the one that was like a villain with a crazy mustache. The one who ties people to railroads tracks? Norma has to bite the inside of her cheek to keep from laughing, turning her squeaky chortle into a soft cough.]

One of your friends or something?

My brother! He has a top hat and wants to be super posh! [Swishes his tail back and forth happily.]

Oh, good luck! I'm sure you'll do a very good job.

[Obviously that's not going to happen with her.]

[Roger's name makes him stop and sneak a quick glance at Ace. This topic suddenly got dangerous...]

A-ahaha, well no one can ever compare to the great Whitebeard, na?! [And then he's handing Marco his juice and another plate of sandwich.] Here, eat up! How are you liking Luceti so far, anyway?

[Not subtle at all. But hey, he panicked.]

[As soon as that name is mentioned, Ace tenses up for a minute. Don't get mad, he's a kid, he doesn't know--] Roger doesn't deserve jack shit. He's nothing compared to Pops.

[He returns to his food silently. He's going to keep his mouth shut for a while.]

[SNERK. Yep, that was the one she was thinking of! She remembers Marco saying he was posh.]

You sure have a crazy family, Turtledove. Anyone else I should keep an eye out for? [If he mentions Ace, Norma can take him directly home. Though who knows if Marco's so young that from his time frame Ace may not have even been born yet.]

Everyone. All of them. Who do you know?

[Ace has definitely not been born by this time. Rogers is still a goober and the idea that Roger could have a kid would be lost on Marco utterly. Also, VERY BELATEDLY:]

Oi! I'm a phoenix, not a turtledove, are calling me slow? [He kind of is a little slower now.]

Edited 2012-09-06 12:53 (UTC)

Yes, exactly.

[Oh his god, finally someone understands. Whitebeard > Roger. True story bros.] And Shanks is annoying too! Silvers is cool though.

[Noms sandwich and juice and politely nods.] Thank you, eh? Luceti's been fun! [Except the whole hearing about Papa dying, but he is not even going there.] Not as good as some other islands, but it could be much worse, yoi. I just want to fly though. Stupid barrier people.

I sure hope so, yoi!

So are bananas one of your favorite foods? [He is made of scatter-brain and wonder atm.]

[Silvers? ...Ah. Silvers Rayleigh, the Pirate King's first mate! ... Oh crap, looks like they're still in dangerous waters, judging from that dark look in Ace's face. They need to steer away from these names fast. Luckily, Marco provided a way out and Sabo grabs the chance.]

You can't fly? Why no-- Oh... I guess the Luceti wings are too heavy for you, huh? [And suddenly! An idea pops in his head and Sabo grins.] Hey, maybe I could help with that! You can still spread your wings, right?

[He doesn't care much for Silvers, and has no idea why Shanks was even brought up, but like before, he'll remain silent. He shoots a grateful glance at Sabo for distracting Marco. This way is for the best, at least until the topic is completely away from Roger and his pirates. That's his best bet for now, and he'll stick to it.]

[They make a good pair that way. Or a terrible one.]

Hmm.... I don't know. I like all kinds of foods.

What's your favourite?

[Quite possibly.]

I like french fries most! And sunflower seeds!

French fries?

[What are those?]

Because the little shit can eat ten times his own body mass in food. Usually meat of some kind.

Not many, I only heard stories from a weird old man who used to be here. [GRIN. That's probably going to bite her in the behind one day, but it's worth it.] There was...a, uh, I think something about diamonds? Oh! And I think there's one that looks like me - a girl, I guess. Oh, and a fire-spitting idiot with a cowboy hat.

[She eye Marco after that, waiting for a response.]

Adaptation, training, caretaking, medicine... We get a lot of variety, and a lot of help.

[She does not know of "Foodvalten"... but she is familiar with campaigns with very few resources.]

I think one of them should be familiar to you.

[Fortunately for Marco right now, a lot of people.]

Really? Which old man? How was he weird? [Norma you don't even know how many weird old men Marco knows.]

Diamonds? OH! JOZU! Have you seen him?!

Hm... and Haruta maybe? But she's blond, yoi! [... Well she was 30 years ago <<]
