[It's Marco's voice, but somehow with a darker tint to it. And it looks like his hair's been dyed black? That's not the strangest change though. The tattoo on his chest is completely removed. There's a rough scar where it used to be though, it's not bleeding, but it's clearly still healing.]

Can you believe the arrogance of those fools? First they drag me away, then they removed my father's mark, and gave me a mockery of it. [Oh yeah. He's deadpan, but it doesn't take a lot of knowing Marco to recognize that he is thoroughly pissed off. More angry than he's ever openly shown in Luceti for that matter.] But the joke's on them, oh yes. [His eyes glitter darkly, burning blue for a second, as they might have done before.] Just because my healing is slowed here doesn't make me any less a phoenix. They can remove my tattoos and piercings but that's a simple thing to restore.

Watch and learn fools. Watch and learn.

[LUCKILY the next part is filtered away from kids ten and under, though no doubt many adults would have preferred not to see it either.]

[Marco props the book up on the edge of the fountain, and leans back to lowers his neck into the water and uses a knife to carve an old school manji symbol in it, line by line. Those familiar with the nazi swastika and not the manji symbol might confuse it for that. Marco doesn't make a sound however, but his blood is clearly revolting against the treatment, blue flames trying to battle the water, and the most they can do is hold back the damage. As he finishes, Marco smirks, grabs a bottle of blue ink from a broken pen and pulls out of the water to throw the ink into it. At that he lets out a feral sound, something like a loud crow's caw, and he shakes off the rest of the ink with a smirk, the skin already still stitching over his chest and trying to cover his neck, but hitting a barrier where it's inked.]

[He fiddles with the journal again to turn off the filter and grins.]

There. I don't know about you, but I feel better already! Now who wants to get on my good side and help me find some earrings?

[[ooc: Marco's returned from Mallynap in "evil" mode! He'll have black hair, be a lot more emo/depressed/dark, and comments will come from

evilfierybluebird and

fieryblackbird respectively!]]

Aye. Eight on each side, sixteen total, they represent the divisions. Diamond for Jozu of course.

Then why did they dye it in the first place?

Aye. And removed my piercings. And took off layer by layer of my skin and feathers. Are you familiar at all with the song, "Alouette?"

[Spock. Spock, no. Don't challenge him! Jeez D:]

Then they shall learn. There is no better time for that than the present, do you not agree?

"Creeping surprise", that's what I would call the show you did just before with your tattoo. If that's what you have in mind let me tell you it doesn't make me feel any more appealed to corruption than before.

[It made him appealed to go and kill people for doing that to his older brother, but Marco doesn't need to know that.]

Sorry... You just reminded me of a good friend.

[A brief pause before Yoh decides to talk more even if the information isn't required he feels in the mood to talk aloud about his friends and things home for a bit.]

His name is Ryu, he wears his hair in this huge and long forelock. It's as long as a sword! And he takes a lot of pride about it, always checking that it's in perfect shape after a battle and what not. But... He has had it ruined several times. I'm not sure how many times I cut it, or others cut it. For a long time his hair was growing back really weirdly because he insisted in keeping that hairstyle.

He takes a lot of pride to it, but he takes even more pride to show that he's well beyond being affected by something so small. The first time it happened he got really angry and it lead us to a bad start but... I think that if it happened now he would just whine a bit and brush it again to make sure that it still looks as good as possible before moving on.

[So kind of like Marco with the hair dye. Somehow.]

What do you mean you wouldn't be you then?

[Keiichi just assumes that healing was something Marco got after birth, or at least not for so long that it's definitively part of who he is.]

.....

[Spock was silent for a long time....

He did know the lyrics to "Alouette"... a morbid french song that slowly peeled the feathers off of a lark.]

Marco...

[Ikki, doesn't that count as corruption?]

That is quite all right, we have cookies. You'll come before you even know it.

Sorry. I will stop, eh.

[Rubs the back of his neck.] I suppose I am not in the best of states. Between my little brothers going back to the deaths and the rest.

That actually reminds me of my best friend Thatch. He also preferred to sport a pompadour and was always quite fussy should it ever be messed up.

I am a phoenix. Who would I be were I not? What would that mean? My whole life would have been different. Would I have even met my father? Would I even have the piercings or tattoo? I would not have had the chance to have it removed the way it was by the Malnosso, so I would not have needed to return it so either.

[If it does it's nothing new, he has killed many people who have messed up with his brothers before.]

Why does everyone think cookies are an alluring thing?

Well, it's normal for kids to meet their parents, I don't think being this or that matters there.

[Here's someone who thinks the father part is literal.]

Still I guess that makes sense. I thought the healing thing came from some powers not from... Your species?

I hope he didn't have that problem often, having his hair messed up, that is.

[He notes the past tense so he chooses his words as carefully as he can.]

It made me feel bad when Ryu's hair got messed up by our opponents. Ah, but I don't feel bad for the times I did it myself, ahahahaha, he wasn't all that nice either so...

[Let's be honest, Ryu was a jerk and deserved to have his hair cut several times. For a while Yoh was convinced that Ryu and his gang were exactly the perfect examples of what was wrong with humans. They turned out to be perfect examples of what was wrong with society, but not in the way he had originally thought. Another reason why he was thankful that he got to learn how to face life with a better attitude and get good things from it. The old Yoh... Wouldn't have made it as far as he had done, because he wouldn't have had any of his friends around. Not even Anna.]

They do? Perhaps braclets or belts would work just as well.

(Make such horrible jokes about yourself. They are not funny.)

[Fair enough.]

Have you ever smelled cookies baking? They have a magnetic power to draw people.

I have, Selphie spent a lot of time baking and practicing cooking the last time she was here. Most of the time I was her guinea pig and I still don't find myself drawn to cookies.

My father adopted me, so I would not have met him if not for being a pirate and phoenix. [This might be all lies. Because a) he's being a jerk and b) evil ~~and c) canon needs to explain this already.~~]

My species is my power.

I was the only one who could usually mess up Thatch's hair as well. He could fend off foes and the others were usually too nice to bother.

I already have a belt, and I cannot wear bracelets, it would be too akin to clipping or at least clamping my wings, yoi.

Bracelets shouldn't work like that.... I guess then you will just have to make the belt more flashy then.

Sure they are in this place, right? All of us who were taken here are the same. Even if people were rich back home or had a lot of power.. that doesn't matter here, they're all equal.

[ She can say it, okay, she had a lot of cash too back home. ]

What about-... Forget it.

[It doesn't matter anyway. Keiichi sighs.]

I'm going to assume you wouldn't do it without your power, pouring ink on such a wound doesn't sound like a good idea.

You sure you're not going to get poisoned or anything due that?

Ahahaha, now I wonder how Ryu would react to me messing with his hair on purpose now. But I don't think I could do it anymore, now that we're friends it would feel wrong.

[Besides with how Ryu has adopted Yoh as his boss it would feel as if he was abusing of his position, even if it's one he doesn't want it would feel horrible.]
