fierybluebird | [Video] / Action

[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!]]

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.]

And how would you do that?

[Ikki arches an eyebrow though his lips quirk up a minimal bit, not taking the other seriously.]

If I told you, you could plan against it and so it would not work, yoi.

Do not worry, it will be a creeping surprise. That is how we kidnapped Ace. [Aka; lured him over willingly with cookies and tattoos. Whatever, same thing.]

"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.]

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

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

[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?

[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.

What about chocolate birdseed then? Or pocky?

Forget what I said, you're a horrible bad influence. I'm starting to feel like I want to be a Marine.

O-Oi! No need to go that far!

I don't know, that was really repelling. I almost grabbed something sharp to make me a tattoo with the Marine symbol.

Maybe you should try to stop being a bad influence, it worked better.

Oi. Fine, I'll stop. No marine symbol tattoos, that's just disgusting.

Disgusting? Okay, I'll make sure to get one where you can't see it if I decide to do it anyway. Wouldn't want you to be repulsed by the sight.

[Or he could get a different tattoo... Something like "Absolute justice rlz" or something like that. The mere thought makes him feel sick though.]

I appreciate that matey.

[Dry. Very dry deadpan.]
