At the Barrier's Edge / Video

[fierybluebird]

[Hey Luceti, have you ever seen a bird fly hard into a closed window?]

[Because that is exactly what a certain pissed off phoenix is basically doing with the barrier. First he just throws his whole body at it, which makes a sickening cracking sound a little like a bird slammed into a window. Sparkles and blue feathers going flying as Marco gets thrown straight back only to make a sharp dive and try again.]

[This goes on a few more times before Marco gives up and switches to human.]

[Fine.]

[Then he starts throwing kicks at it as hard and quickly as he can. This was not bright.]

[Seriously not bright.]

[Because each kick gets thrown right back at his head.]

[After a few more of these, a camera flash or two from Law to the side, Marco appears somewhat satisfied with kicking himself in the bloody blue sparkly face.]

I get the feeling this is harder on the inside than outside, yoi.

I have no idea what to do with those points.

[Other than a present for Robin... whenever both their tempers calm down.]

[Hello I'm new and what the fuck is this?!]

Are-are you okay?!

[Because seriously...OUCH WEIRD BIRD MAN.]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Oh. Just fine, yoi.

[Deadpan, but no. NO HE IS NOT.]

[Video]

[gigglesnortpriestess]

That doesn't look like it...

[She knows deadpan when she hears it; blame Yu for that.]

Re: [Video]

[fierybluebird]

Really?

[He seems... kind of surprised, but nope, still deadpan. With blue blood and sparkles.]

[Video]

[gigglesnortpriestess]

Really.

[They can play this all day and...is he bleeding blue?!]

Do you need someone to heal you?

[Well Saori is out on her camping trip with Yuuna and all...but this warrants a response.]

Marco, what in the stars name are you up to?

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Committing random acts of violence.

[Just. All the deadpan snark.]

[Video]

[windandrain]

Why?

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Why not?

Free points, testing a theory, science, I have my reasons, yoi.

[Video]

[windandrain]

You expect them to actually pay you for hurting yourself?

[Marco...]

And you took them seriously?

[Voice]

[selphie_t]

[Yeah... Selphie's just staring in disbelief. Marco is officially Luceti's biggest dumbass.]

Was it worth it?

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Don't know. I haven't really decided yet.

[Voice]

[selphie_t]

Well... are you okay?

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Aye. I can take more than I can dish out.

[video]

[pendantry]

Why are you doing that?

[It's painful and stupid and birds, as he should well know, are fragile.]

[video]

[fierybluebird]

For science.

[video]

[pendantry]

You'll break something.

[video]

[fierybluebird]

Hopefully the barrier. Of sound if not the one cutting us from the world.

[Video]

[uccellodifuoco]

Did you consider attaching explosives to your body and slamming it again?

[If Ikki sounds angry it's probably not your imagination.]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

I haven't. If Ace were here, I wouldn't want him hurting himself.

Got any fireworks?

[Not that Marco would actually do that. That'd be a waste of good fireworks!]

[Video]

[uccellodifuoco]

What we want for others doesn't always matter when they want the opposite, does it?

No, but I can get several rum bottles and pieces of cloth, all you would need would be a flame to be set to go.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Aye. [He knows it's about him, but he gives the journal a hard look anyway.]

I only have matches. [A shrug.] Probably just as well that I don't bother, yoi. I doubt the idiots around here will learn from it, and I don't heal flames the way I should anymore.

[Marco.

Marco, no.

Norma has to cover her eyes after the first sickening crunch of bird hitting barrier, it was just too painful to watch. Good lord, she didn't think anyone's take that Malno-no gasbag seriously, but...sigh, Marco is Marco. Honestly, it's not surprising that he'd try, but...ugh, she can't let him torture himself like this! Even if the idiot can heal any injury he sustains watching him hurt himself hurts her, too!

...Though Marco kicking himself in the face does get a good loud laugh out of Norma, however brief. A-Ahem, composing herself now.]

Jeez! Will you cut that out already?! It's hurting me watching that!

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Sorry Buttercup.

You all right now?

[Video]

[bubblywishes]

So long as you're not about to break your skull against the barrier again any time soon. What are you even doing, anyway?! You didn't actually take that windbag seriously, did you?!
