[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.]

Yes! That's me, yoi. And you're Sabo!

[You know, he assumes from what Ace said. It would be totally embarrassing to get that wrong, but they live with him so it has to be this guy.]

Y-yeah, that's me..... [More gaping. The why are you tiny?!!! exclamation's on the tip of his tongue, but welp. He can guess it's an effect of the kidnapping by now. (And well, at least it's not as weird as Luffy being a girl... Nothing's going to be weirder than that, actually.)

So he recovers quickly enough to give a real, happy and relieved smile.] Welcome back!

Thank you, yoi.

Was I gone long?

[And Ace will just walk in to try and help with the semi-awkward situation.] Hey, Sabo. I brought you home a little brother.

Just a week, I think? And I'm real glad it wasn't any longer! [Waving over to the table.] You hungry? Come eat a sandwich with me! You too, Ace!

[Hey, he got this. He gets the feeling kid!Marco will be a lot easier to get used to than girl!Luffy, anyway! So he'll just grin back at Ace.] Yeah, I noticed. Glad I'm not the youngest, for once!

Edited 2012-08-19 06:46 (UTC)

No, I'm still the oldest, yoi.

[Cheerfully grabs a seat as a little kid, but damn son those are some messy sandwiches. Okay maybe if wraps a small one in a napkin or something gosh... Eh screw it, he will just make his own.]

Don't mind if I do. Thanks for making lunch, Sabo. [Watch as Ace gives no shits and takes a messy but delicious-looking sandwich.]

Nope, sorry, Marco. Sabo's older than you. [If not just to let him have that little pleasure.]

No problem! [Digging in! And yep, having one messy meal here too. If he wanted to be a classy-eater, he would've stayed a noble. And nope!

And he's just going to laugh here.] Let him think that way, if he likes! I'm just gonna enjoy having someone shorter than me again!

You mean if it makes you feel better you can think it. I'm 10,414, eh. [He will say this forever. Until it's true through the power of sheer determination, truthiness, and bullshit lies.]

One day I'll be bigger than even Papa though, you'll see.

[Oh god, that line never fails to make Ace laugh.] How do you keep your wrinkles away?

Okay, okay, if you say so, Sabo.

With sparkles.

[>:3]

Huh, I didn't know your sparkles have some anti-ageing properties. [Yep, just riding along~]

Hey Ace, think if we shake Marco and collect his sparkles in little bottles, we can sell them to old people and we'll get rich? [Or not~ ;P]

[He snaps his fingers, as though he just got a great idea.] Yeah! They'd be a huge hit with the ladies, too. That's the best get-rich-quick strategy ever.

You're too late, I already promised them to Haruta, Izou, and Shanks.

Besides, Papa says strong people don't need it, they should just be badass and have manliness sparkles instead.

[Idek anymore.]

[To Ace, he mouths "manliness sparkles?" in utter amusement.]

Ah, so you're running out of regular sparkles? Well, that's bad! You might end up looking all wrinkly and stuff! But I guess if you have this manliness sparkles, you'll be alright, huh? What does it do, anyway?

[Taking all this in a stride~]

I dunno! I don't have manliness sparkles, only Papa does! I just have phoenix sparkles, yoi.

[Seriously, how you going to tell this kid anything?]

[Ace replies to Sabo by waving his hand and mouthing "don't ask". Bro, you don't wanna know.]

Aw, you don't share you sparkles with Pops?

No, I told you, he doesn't want them. He says he's strong so he doesn't need it, he will just have manliness sparkles instead, yoi.

[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?

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.]

[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.]

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.

[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?
