[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!]]

[His eyes narrow. Oh, he's replacing that mock flag all right. D:<]

Che... This is such a nuisance.

[If Marco touches the flag Ikki's killing him.]

It is, it also makes me wonder what other details have been altered. Though at least you're still you overall.

[OH HE IS. He replaces it by the time of his thread with Robin. OOPS.]

[And a sigh.] I don't even know how to tell the difference.

[He can count on getting a punch then. And having the flag replaced for the real one after that. With another punch and a "stay still!" for good measure.]

If you could it wouldn't be funny for them. Even we can't really tell until you start speaking, the hair could just be you deciding to go gothic due all the crap this place has thrown at you at once.

[Normal Marco appreciates that and will tell Ikki to get a tattoo.]

Hah. I did dye my hair after Thatch died and Ace left. Back in my world I mean.

You think they know and the dye is part of a cruel joke? Besides the rest of the things they have done to you, I mean.

[A shrug.]

While I would not put it past them, I do not really see the point. It is not like I hate this color hair, after all. Blackbeard aside, they did not turn me into him, so what is the difference?

[He echoes that shrug.]

What are you going to do once you get some earring again?

Re-pierce my ears, of course.

[Oh. Did you mean beyond that?]

[Glare, he's not amused by that Marco.]

[Annoyed frown, come on that was totally funny.]

Clean Ace and Sabo's rooms and box their things for safe keeping.

[Maybe at another time. When he's not annoyed with what they have done to his older brother.]

Want company?

Not during that, no thank you. [Because he refuses to cry in front of people jeez.] But until then I could go for some food and tea.

[He nods.]

Then I'll give you so. Seventh Heaven sounds good?

[What Ikki doesn't say is that he means he's going to stick to Marco for the whole day until Robin appears at least.]

Of course.

[Ikki.... best bro.] So how has the village been? I am not sure how long I was gone.

Twelve days including the day you were taken and today.

[Not that he has counted them.]

And things have been fine as far as I know. New Feathers have been arriving without special problems and there has been no word from the Malnosso either.

[The biggest thing to happen was that he got to troll Smoker. Which isn't much.]

Sounds like they were bored then, yoi.

Or that they were too busy with you. Which wouldn't be surprising, you're already a handful normally.

Flattery will get you everywhere. [Sticks his tongue out, but he does puff up a bit. He likes the idea of requiring a full team to deal with.]

And who said that was a compliment? Last time I checked we here are the ones who have to deal with you on a regular basis.

[Because it's not as if he cares for you or anything.]

I decided it was one, because I know you. [Ruffles his little bro's hair affectionately.]

Besides, I do not hear any active complaints about being stuck with me. And if there are any, I intend to ignore them anyway.

[Cocky bastard.]

We don't complain just because we have resigned ourselves to have you around, that's all.

[Ikki glares at the hair ruffling. Okay, he now knows why Selphie always made that face when he did it to her, it's not so fun when you are on the receiving end.]

[Tugs on Ikki's cheeks.] Aye aye. I am a terrible influence and I should stop my piratical ways before your roommate gets mad, because we all know how much you love to follow rules and guidelines, eh?

Don't fuss so much, it is too cute to waste on me.

I don't fuss.

[Batting away your hands, leave his cheeks alone, man.]

Smoker knows pretty well what I think of your world and the World Government by now. I'm pretty sure he's convinced I would be a revolutionary if I was there or something. Definitively not a Marine.

And ironically most of my opinions have been formed from things he has told me, not from your influence.

If you are saying I am not a bad influence, I will have to step up to my big brotherly duties to corrupt you further.

[THIS at least, is actually teasing. Even if it is in Marco's typical deadpan and therefore difficult to tell.]
