Action / Voice
[A: Action has a ridiculously cheerful Marco wandering Luceti, actually walking, not flying. This is because he's walking his Pops' dog. A big white dog with a mustache on its face. The same crescent moon mustache that can be seen on Marco's tattoo. Well they say pets take after their owners...]
[Though I'm pretty sure that's not how it's meant.]
Fetch, Stefan!
[The dog barks and goes bounding after the white frisbee, only to stop as it hits the ground. What you expected him to catch it? Or actually fetch it? No. He gives Marco a quizzical stare instead, like what the hell is he supposed to do with it? Marco deadpans him right back.]
What, you were expecting this? [He holds up a white boomerang instead. And Stefan barks. With a small sigh Marco tosses it, fetches the fallen frisbee himself, and the dog goes racing after the boomerang. Including when it comes back to Marco, who just holds up a hand and catches it.] I don't know if you're just that lazy or he gave you bad habits, eh? [But Marco gives the dog a treat and an affectionate face rub anyway. Seems his Pops wasn't the only one giving him bad habits. In any case, feel free to spot him anywhere outside and stop and say hello or join him, both Marco and Stefan are quite friendly.]
[B. Voice: After fetching food for dinner (fish and mostly vegetarian things, sorry Robin, he's been cooking with Leanne in mind) and stopping to actually return books to the library instead of just stealing them indefinitely like the pirate he is, Marco lazily grabs a spot in the garden near the Straw Hat house.]
Hello Luceti.
I'm Captain Marco, of the Whitebeards, though there's really only me left of us here. I suppose that goes for a lot of the pirates left here, eh? In any case, if you're a lost new feather, give me a call, and I can come flying out there. And for everyone, I pose to you a question.
All worlds seem to have their own ways of preserving history, and some of burying it. In my own world, I think we go for the latter more often than not. Perhaps ironically, one of the strangest things about being a pirate is that we also uncover and preserve a lot of history. Accidentally, or because of treasure and legends. What one pirate might find to be treasure, the rest of the world might see as useless junk. My father was big on preserving history through stories. When you pass on legends, you keep them real in a way nothing solid can. So my question quite simply, is what do you or your worlds do to preserve history and stories? And what do you do if it's destroyed, eh?
Thanks.

[Don't give Marco openings for jokes, it is never a good idea.]
She usually is.
[action]
[It would be better if Ikki got half of them. Probably.]
[action]
[action]
[He's not being serious, of course. He would be upset if he couldn't see Marco, but he will die before admitting so.]
[action]
[action]
[He shifts and crouches a little unconsciously. No, he's not getting sleepy up here on his brother's shoulder, shut up.]
[action]
She's sexy when she's violent. [Have some headpats despite that disturbing statement.]
[action]
[He shakes his head trying to avoid the headpats for a moment before he gives up.]
[action]
Because I'm such an openly masochistic man that she even claims that's why she likes me?
[GRIN.]
[action]
I don't think she liked it when you carved a new tattoo on your skin with a knife.
[Guess who missed the point completely.]
[action] 1/2
I made it up to her though.
[action] 2/2
All three of her.
[action]
Did the Malnosso get her too and divide her into three?
[action]
It has some very interesting uses in the bedroom. [NOD NOD.]
[IF YOU CATCH HIS DRIFT.]
[WINK WINK.]
[action]
The... Bedroom?
[His voice sounds as if Marco is about to step on a land mine.]
[action]
What's wrong?
[action]
What were you saying about the bedroom?
[He tries to keep his tone calm, really. Maybe it's not what he thinks. It can't be what he thinks. Marco isn't like that, he wouldn't do that, he always makes clear that he loves Robin. So probably he's just being paranoid. He can't keep the poison out of that last word, though.]
[action]
[Marco doesn't get it. What the hell is Ikki thinking? Clearly Marco will reassure him.]
Her devil fruit has some wild uses there. Mah, I can't go too into specifics or she'll kill me, but multiplying herself is one of my favorites, eh. [COMPLETELY UNABASHED.]
And giant limbs never gets old either, eh?
[action]
And for what exactly do you want those "wild uses"?
[Still on that landmine field, Marco. But no. No. No. No. No. It's impossible, Marco isn't like that. He isn't.]
You always say that you love her.
[Is that a reminder to Marco or to himself?]
[action]
I do love her. [Marco carefully picks Ikki up and sets him on the of his head, knowing full well that the highest point of a person will always feel safest. But he carefully holds onto Ikki's chest and soothingly strokes the phoenix breastbone as comfortingly as he can. Half of him still expects razor sharp talons to dig into his scalp though just from what he can feel of the tension from Ikki.]
For her sense of humor most, and brains second, personality and strength next, taste in books and flowers, loyalty, protectiveness, how she loves cute things, and her body and devil fruit on the list too. [And Marco misunderstands the problem, but he tries to fix it.] In my world, devil fruit users are sometimes considered monsters for their devil fruits. I like that about mine, but it's still nice to have someone else love that side of us too, so I think she enjoys the chance to use it in such a way, as much as I love her using it. Is that what you're worried about?
[action]
The bird screeches and fights until he's able to fly away and land on a branch, high above the other. Away from Marco, and it's probably a good thing that he's currently a bird as his form tones down the expression of complete disappointment, anger and pain he has when he looks at the other.]
You love her? Don't make me laugh... Then why do you want to do that to her? Why do you want to... Have sex with her?!
[The level of anger, hate and poison on Ikki's voice right one is one that hasn't been heard in Luceti for a long while. As if he had calmed down, as if he had healed, but he didn't, it was all just buried deep within. Marco would be able to recognize it, it's the same tone Ikki used to talk about Mitsumasa Kido.]

[There's a growl and Marco goes over to the tree where Ikki is.]
