[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.]

[It is indeed a child in bird form. Oops.]

Woooow.

That's really far! What kind of ship do you have? Are the people you meet fun? Are they ridiculous like my brothers?

[Bah, more questions. Sanji lightly shakes himself from his daydream and continues on in the usual nonchalant manner.] His name's Thousand Sunny, and was built by one of the best shipwrights in the world - a cyborg named Franky. [That alone should answer the "are they ridiculous like my brothers" question, but Sanji chooses to elaborate further]

And yeah, some of the are pretty shitty weird. My captain's a rubber man who only likes to eat meat. [Pause] And we've got a skeleton for a musician, a reindeer for a doctor...

[Oh, okay, you've won him over. His Daddy is still the bestest, but holy cow that's a cool crew.]

[Chibi quiet voice of awe.] A reindeer? [Sparkle sparkle.] And a skeleton. [Small giggle.] How does a skeleton play music? Are his ribs a xylophone? [That's just silly.]

[Ha! Unbidden, the xylophone jab earns a snort of amusement.] Brook's a special skeleton, let's just leave it at that. But he's also the best damn musician I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. [There's no small amount of pride in his voice]

I hope I can meet him too someday, yoi!

Does he make his own songs too?

Oh, yeah! [With some added pep and animated movements] He's a famous rock star now! The Soul King!

[... Sanji may or may not have bought all of Brook's singles while stuck on his own island during their separation.]

[Awww Sanji, best nakama.]

Ehhhhh really? NEAT! What's he sing about? Pirate-y things?

Well yeah, he is a pirate, after all. [Sliding into the kitchen now]

I wanna know more pirate songs! People just keep singing Bink's Sake a lot, eh. There should be more songs than that! It's not even a pirate song!

[Sanji silently agrees that as far as pirate songs go... he might love Bink's Sake, but it's pretty child-friendly compared to the songs he heard growing up]

Oh, there are plenty of raunchy pirate songs out there.

Reaaaally? Do you know any?

[Tell him and corrupt him. Then he will sing one to Robin and get Sanji in trouble. Perfect.]

[You are a cruel child. B|

After some internal debate, in which Sanji moves around the kitchen to make Marco a sandwich, he begins to sing in a clear, amused tenor]

Shiver my timbers, shiver my soul
Yoooo Ho He Hooooo
There are men whose hearts as black as coal
Yoooo Ho He Hooooo

And they sailed their ship across the ocean blue
A blood thirsty captain and a cut-throat crew
It's a darker tale as was ever told
Of a lust for treasure and a love of gold

Shiver my timbers, shiver my sides
Yoooo Ho He Hooooo
There are hungers as strong as the winds and tides
Yoooo Ho He Hooooo

And those buccaneers drowned there sins in rum
The devil himself would have to call em scum
Every man on board would have killed his mate
for a bag of beli or a piece of eight

Shiver my timbers, shiver my bones
Yoooo Ho He Hooooo
There are secrets that sleep with Ol' Davey Jones
Yoooo Ho He Hooooo

When the main sails set and the course is weighed
There's no turning back from any course that's laid
And when greed and felony sail the sea,
you can bet your boots there'll be treachery

Shiver my timber, shiver my sail
Dead men tell no tales!

[That's okay Sanji, Marco has decided that Sanji is the coolest damn pirate ever, right after his Pops.]

Uwah! That's a great song! Is it your favorite?

[Thank Sanji's awesome singing voice. And the Muppets. He's in plenty high spirits after that callback to his childhood.]

I don't think I've got a favorite, but an ex-pirate who sailed with the Baratie for a few years loved singing that song. I just picked it up.

[That movie has one of the best soundtracks. Also forever proof that Tim Curry makes an awesome pirate. And tranny. Ergo Ivankov is win? Idk. Moving...]

Really? Where's the Baratie? Why'd he retire?

All the way back in East Blue. [He pauses in-step, unsure how to handle that second question] And hell if I know.

[Speaking quickly before Marco launches into another round of 20 questions, Sanji waves in the direction of the fridge] Oi, what kind of sandwich do you want?

Fish! And French fries!

Or peanut butter.

I'm not picky as long as it's good.

[That all sounds so embarrassingly simple, and so Sanji pauses again. Holy shit, when's the last time he made a peanut butter sandwich?]

... Right. [He speaks slowly, more to himself than to Marco] I can do that.

[Go big Sanji. Marco's just trying to be simple to be polite since Whitebeard can't cook that much. His tastes are actually fancier, but secretly polite.]

What's your favorite thing to cook?

I don't have a favorite. [His response is immediate, chin in his hand as he thinks] I just like to cook.

[Laughs.] I guess it's like trying to pick the best thing about flying, huh?

Okay what's your favorite thing to eat?

[Now there's a question he can answer, and Sanji grins]

Spicy seafood pasta! Ever tried it before? [Because if not, GUESS WHAT YOU'RE EATING.]

Nope! Is it really good?

[Feed him Sanji. Feed him delicious things *_*]

It's delicious! I've actually got a batch in the fridge. [Freshly made, too, since it tends to be one of the more popular dishes. And the upside is Sanji can snag a bowl for himself >>]

Really? May I try some, if it's not too much trouble?
