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

[fierybluebird]

[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.]

[Being just shy of six feet in her heels, "tall" has a somewhat different meaning to Grune. She'll likely be looking for people around the size of Daisy now.]

All right! I'm sure we'll find them soon.

[chibifirebird]

[No no, that's accurate. Marco's family makes Daisy look on the short end of things.]

I hope so! Just look for anyone with a tattoo similar to mine, eh.

[lostinmyway]

[...Good grief.

Grune leans in to get a good look at said tattoo.]

All right. I won't forget!

[Ahaha.]

[chibifirebird]

Thank you, yoi! Oh but Papa has his on his back! And it has bones.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, does it? It sounds like it's a little different.

[chibifirebird]

It's mostly the same shape. The moon part represents his mustache, eh!

[lostinmyway]

Is that what his mustache looks like?

[Grune is picturing a half moon. Close enough?]

[chibifirebird]

Aye! Like white bananas.

[Whut.]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, do white bananas taste good?

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

[chibifirebird]

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...]

[lostinmyway]

[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.]

[chibifirebird]

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

[lostinmyway]

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

[And she completely doesn't notice.]

[chibifirebird]

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

[lostinmyway]

My, that's very smart.

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

[chibifirebird]

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.]

[lostinmyway]

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

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

[chibifirebird]

I sure hope so, yoi!

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

[lostinmyway]

[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?

[chibifirebird]

[Quite possibly.]

I like french fries most! And sunflower seeds!

[lostinmyway]

French fries?

[What are those?]

[chibifirebird]

AYE! They're potatoes all cooked up in super hot oil! They're nice and salty and really good!

[In which Marco exposes he might be a little more seagull than phoenix as he claims. j/k of course]

[lostinmyway]

My, they sound delicious! I wonder how you make them.

[Hahaha, oh man, it's true.]

[chibifirebird]

Um... I don't know actually! Maybe you can ask a cook!

[lostinmyway]

That's a good idea! Then I can ask for the recipe and make you some.
