4th Wall Break Time!

[fierybluebird]

[Wow, this is a lot of people. Marco gives up fighting his way through the crowd and just switches to hovering. Don't mind the half phoenix, half man above you, okay? He's relatively tame...ish. After flitting about for a little though, he gets tired of trying to spot everyone through the crowd.]

[He gives a sharp piercing whistle and yells out loudly:]

MARCO!

[One might wonder why he's calling his own name, but he's trying to see who will call back Polo. For science! Or you know, so he knows who will be interesting to go fly down to.]

[And later on, he'll be playing hopscotch, and that night he'll be hanging out on the roof of CH3 drinking and saying a toast to his father's memorial. Anyone care to join him?]

Comments

I don't have anyone else that would but a certain Thief...

[aerialassault]

[That particular call to play was the last thing he expected to hear on that cold, windy afternoon..but he grinned. This could be fun.]

POOO-LOOOO!!

[He hadn't played the game too much since college. Did he do it right?]

[fierybluebird]

[Marco laughs and flies down, landing nearby and calling again:]

Marco, eh?

[Tag. You're it.]

[aerialassault]

[Aww snap. Speed ain't his thing.]

Yea. Polo!

[Not that it would stop him from pushing his way through the crowd and charging.]

[om_nom_namur]

[Screw this Marco Polo junk. First Division Commander only likes the game because he's a self absorbed bird brain. Namur crouches down amongst the crowd, then leaps for the phoenix hybrid.]

1/2

[fierybluebird]

AH! NAMUR YOU'RE REALLY HEAV--

2/2

[fierybluebird]

Y...

[He says as they fall to the ground. No worries though, Marco wastes no time in rolling over and trying to pin Namur back. Sup bro?]

[om_nom_namur]

[Your game is dumb and you're dumb, Marco. That don't mean Namur's not fond of ya. He grunts as they hit the ground, trying to keep Marco from pinning him. Helps that he's got a dorsal fin. It keeps him from being too easily pushed flat on his back, and gives him some leverage to work on flipping Marco. Those dang wings keep getting in the way though.]

Man, how many freakin' wings do you need?

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

GET LOST!

[No, it's not that he doesn't recognize the game. He just likes to be a jerk like that. Have a stone thrown at you Marco, not that it will be hard for you to evade it. That's not Ikki's way to call your attention so you come down and chat with him, not at all.]

[Action]

[fierybluebird]

[GAWD IKKI. Where is your sense of fun phoenix-bro? But Marco quickly comes down, only slightly swearing.]

Make me. [Flips Ikki off with feathers.]

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

That's what that stone was supposed to serve for.

[TSUN.

Hyoga ignores the tsun, though, he just runs closer to Marco, barking happily and greeting him.]

[Action]

[mikanphones]

Eeeeh... POOOOOLO?!

[Yoh calls back from where he's sitting at the fountain. That's how the game went, right? He isn't sure, one of the effects of not having that many friends that were around his age for a long time.]

[Action]

[fierybluebird]

[Laughs and flies down looking for the source.] Marco!

[Hm... this kid is kind of familiar. Something about fire?]

[Action]

[mikanphones]

[Okay, it seems he did it right. Yoh stands up on the bench before he yells again.]

Polo!!

[Waving his arms a bit.]

[toujoursfluer]

[Have a Robin glancing up as you say Marco and then completely ignoring you on her way to elsewhere]

[fierybluebird]

[Damn that's cold! Even for a kuudere!]

[Luckily(?) Marco doesn't notice that she's even doing it on purpose at all.]

Oi! ROBIN!

[Flies down to walk with her.] Nice day out, eh? [Because snow and cold don't faze him...]

[toujoursfluer]

[She can be colder and he'll just eat it up like candy]

It's cold, isn't it? [she'll wrap her arms around his to keep her hands warm]

Have you been enjoying all the strange newcomers?

[lolighostgirl]

Polo~! Haraharaharahara~

[Oh hey Marco, someones having fun while passing through the crowd, and yes passing through them.]

[fierybluebird]

[Shields his eyes from the sun to squint at her and whistles.]

Marco~!

Perona, that you? I thought you were still mad at me, eh?

[lolighostgirl]

Ehhhhhhhhh?!!!?!!

[How did that knew her name? Slowly, rising up from the crowd looking down. Hasn't expected the bird yet.]

H-how did you know my name?! Who knows my name?! Show yourself!

[bluemarine]

[Why is a Whitebeard Pirate playing hopscotch? Well-- it doesn't really matter]

Stop right there, Whitebeard Pirate!

[fierybluebird]

And if I say no?

[Trolololol hop. Hop. Hop.]

[bluemarine]

I'll have to stop you!

[Though really this has the potential to get slightly out of hand. Regardless he will take her seriously!]

[waywardswords]

[He sees you playing hopscotch. He has to take a few tries to actually puzzle you out but no, you're definitely the right guy. You have the tattoo and all. Good. Weird to see you in this crazy place but never mind. He'll just fold his arms and glower until you notice him.

Since you just don't interrupt a man having fun with hopscotch]

[fierybluebird]

[You do if you're Zoro.]

Sup matey? Want to join in?

[waywardswords]

No thanks. You're Marco of Whitebeard Pirates, yes?

[Well the last is fairly obvious but might as well be somewhat formal]
