Voice / Action for CH3 roof
[All right, this is not easy. Marco's a nervous wreck, so he goes pacing, and to find Chun-Li... who isn't home. After a few calls to her journal and looking around, he realizes she's gone home. Again. He greets the morning up on the roof of CH3, smokes a cigarette, and with the Whitebeard flag flying behind him, that's where he is when he makes a post.]
For those who knew her, Chun-Li's gone home. Luceti's lost a great teacher, but I know back in Hong Kong she'll teach kids how to fight and help police up her world. Say a prayer, light a candle, toll a bell, whatever your tradition is.
I have letters from her for Tenten, Spencer, Punzy, Lupin, and Robin. And one for the marine if you could take that to him Ikki?
For the rest of Luceti, I guess I have a question for you, though I guess I should explain with a story first. The first time Chun-Li left, it made me a lot braver. I realized I couldn't take my time for things I wanted. Here, and in my world, everything is fleeting. I'm the type who's not great at taking chances. My Pops and my brothers are great at it. But I always worry about the risks until the chance is gone. And the times I've taken a chance can really hurt, eh? Here I learned that it hurt more to miss those chances and get stuck wondering. Ace is always telling me to braver, to get stronger, and that encourages me a lot to be more like him. If your loved ones were here, are there chances they would tell you to take? Or do you think they'd remind you of the risks instead? [He's still a nervous wreck, but he's at least steady in his voice and more convicted in his decisions.]
[Filtered from Robin:]
To the Straw Hat crew, and those close to her, tomorrow's a special day for Robin, so I'd like to take her out just the two of us. Don't come looking, but I'll bring my journal if you need us.
And to the Straw Hat crew.... [Deep breath! He can do this!] Normally this would be something I'd ask her captain, but you are all just as much her family and so it affects you all too. I have something important to ask. I can do it here, or in person, but please get back to me before tomorrow.

Shit I'm an idiot. Help.

[HUGS and holds tight.]
Don't punch me.
Chun-Li went home and I'm thinking of proposing and I want to kick my own ass, there's no way in hell she'll say anything but no and then stop talking to me for weeks and her own crew is going to think it's dumb, even I think it's dumb, why am I doing this again?

I got a ring for Robin's birthday. A promise ring, eh?
But then I was... I don't know.
I don't want to regret thinking of this, wanting it, and never having the guts to try it, eh? I can't let myself do that. Pops wouldn't be proud of it, and I can't be proud of that either.
But you know me... I'd wait forever and never make a move if something didn't kick me into action.
Chun-Li went home again though. And I read her letter to Robin, which was stupid, I know. But I started thinking how I don't want be the kind of coward who wouldn't say what I want, just out of fear of what might happen.
I'm an idiot.
