[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.]

[She almost disregards the video feed, catching it late, until she sees the tiny phoenix hop away from the fountain edge and cheep for his Pops. Of course.

He seems young, too. How strange. She tries not to think about it, too much, and watches him with a faint sort of irritation that is partly aimed, even unfairly, at him, but mostly at the Malnosso who, it seems, can do nothing but stir up trouble]

He isn't here. Or, rather, you're elsewhere.

[... okay uh. That's not normal. Not even for Marco. So quick as he can, Ace grabs his journal to respond, but then wonders what the hell he should say. Ace was kind of a brat to him, after all.

Maybe Marco will be different?] O-Oi, Marco? Hey, can you tell me where you are?

[And then it hits him that he came home in less than a month. A week, at that! HELL YES.]

[weakahoshi]

M- Marco-sama?

[Well, she's really tall...]

This is Luceti, Marco-sama. Are you okay?

[Today, Norma's just taking a walk back from the library, as is her usual routine. She's been far quieter ever since Marco left, though she's been purposefully finding things to do to keep her mind off things. As she walks along, humming to herself a soft, slow tune, she notes the movement from the corner of her eye and pauses. For a minute, she doesn't think much of it - just a bird washing itself in the fountain - but when it starts talking and flailing and--phoenix...oh god. She whirls around and immediately begins to panic, approaching and going through a list of mental preparations and stuff. What to do, what to do?!]

Uh...h-hey there, Tu--uh, little guy... You lost?

[lostinmyway]

[Grune has been ambling about aimlessly, doing nothing in particular, when she notices a fair bit of flailing around the fountain. When she comes to investigate, it takes for a moment, but then she notices the adorable baby birdie. Awwww.]

Hello. What's your name?

[Voice]

[daisy023]

[Marco. She immediately identifies him. It's clear they had taken him. Now, he needs help.

... Even, if she may not know how to explain many of the truths of Luceti, and the little she heard of his world, to him.]

... You'll have to be more specific than that.

[concasse]

[... There's a disgustingly cute bird talking to him. Right. Well, Sanji can roll with this, even if his expression is deadpan and far from inviting.]

Sorry, never heard of someone like that. [Not in Luceti] ... And you are? [He has a hunch, but verbal confirmation would be nice, too.]

[Later, when Ace and Marco arrives home, they'll find Sabo making some epic sandwiches. He's quite enjoying himself, even singing Bink's no Sake cheerfully while at it.

So when the door opens, he merely waves his messy butter knife, not bothering to look up.] Yo. Check this out, Ace! Did you know you can put peanut butter and jelly together and they'll taste awesome? I only just found out!
