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.
[Filtered to Ace about 50%]
Shit I'm an idiot. Help.

You two are not close. But either way, you are both nakama, eh? Perhaps it is a little different for me because with my crew, everyone is family. And a union between crews, even through something like this, is something that affects all of you, eh? And I wouldn't wish to ask her without clearing it with all of you. [Rubs the back of his neck.] If the rest of my crew were here I'd talk to them too, make it a more solid alliance, but this it the best I can do for now.
[action]
[She brings a hand up to lightly rub her temple. Takes a breath. Between being surprised in the first place and then further confused by Marco's meanderings, she thinks maybe at this point she's just confusing herself. There's no need for it to be this complicated, is there? As far as she can tell, Marco wants a blessing from the crew concerning Robin, and he counts Vivi's opinion on the matter in as high a regard as the rest of them, despite their relationship being a little different than the rest of their nakama. Despite their history, which he clearly must know of at least in passing.]
Marco-san. I don't object, if that's what you want to know. [She gives a small laugh, hiding her wry smile behind the cup of chai she raises to her lips.] And even if I did, Robin-san makes her own decisions.
[action]
[A wry grin.] Granted, our friendship will always be removed from my relationship with Robin, but ah... it just seems different somehow. I'm not sure I can fully explain it to be honest.
But thanks.
[action]
It's all right. You don't need to explain. I know some things are hard to put into words.
