[Even though Marco's showy, he's normally a bit more careful about avoiding displaying the blue flames. Still, there's a quick glimpse of him playing with them on his arm, clearly relieved to have his chip out, before noticing the camera is on and they go instantly out like a light.]

Hey Straw-Hat, how would you like to go flying? [There's a sneaky grin on his face, but he doesn't seem to mean throwing Luffy off a building at least.]

For everyone else out there, are there any flying monsters in this place? That or a dome cap people should beware of? If anyone knows, it'd be appreciated.

And Freckles, no worries, I'll bring your brother back in one piece, though probably not with One Piece. [Har. Har.]

[And there's just more laughing from him, but he does tighten his grip a little, just to make sure he doesn't fall off.]

[fierybluebird]

[And just like that, Marco takes into lift off, flapping large wings to get higher and higher so he can catch a breeze and coast.]

[ihasastrawhat.livejournal.com]

WAAAHHOOOOO!!!!

[And Luffy lets go so he can sit up and stare around like an idiot. Hopefully he'll stay on.]

[fierybluebird]

[Falling would be bad Luffy. Marco's taking in the city though. Harder to see at night, but still nice to have a bird's eye view to map the city with. So now he's flying up and over the city towards the lake.]

[ihasastrawhat.livejournal.com]

[He'll try not to! He's having too much fun enjoying the new perspective.]

Woooow.... so this is what it's like being a bird, huh, Marco?

[fierybluebird]

[Nods cheerfully and gestures out at the skyline with a wing. Then whistles happily.]

[ihasastrawhat.livejournal.com]

[staring like a derp at EVERYTHING, AW MAN SO COOL AHHHH!!]

[fierybluebird]

[And that's why he took Luffy. Because flying is awesome!]

[ihasastrawhat.livejournal.com]

[And Marco is the coolest older brother figure ever. Luffy's never gonna want to go back inside at this rate.

...except he's losing his grip because he decided to hold onto his hat.]

[fierybluebird]

[Doesn't notice right away, just circles over the lake, testing the winds off it. Of course more winds means more air trying to steal the hat.]

[ihasastrawhat.livejournal.com]

[There's a bit of frantic wiggling, and then--ohp... he fell...

Also he is screaming.]

[fierybluebird]

[OH SHIT! And that would be Marco diving as fast as he can after him to at least try to catch him in talons.]

[ihasastrawhat.livejournal.com]

[And he attempts to gomu-gomu his way back but--orite, he's still chipped!--so there's just more falling until he hits the lake's surface.]

[fierybluebird]

[And Marco in his "MUST NOT LOSE BROTHER" and "Protect Forever!" dives in after, like the bird-brain he is.]

[ihasastrawhat.livejournal.com]

[Maaiiii heeerooo...

...except wait you can't swim either...]

[fierybluebird]

[They're totally going to drown and be cold little ice blocks.]

[kitchen-smoke.livejournal.com]

[A black figure dives into the water and swims hastily after them. He grabs both of them by the arms and starts to slowly make his way back to the surface. Seriously. You guys are heavy.]

[fierybluebird]

[He'd try to work out more, but that would probably make him more muscular and heavy.]

[Gurgle bubble.]

Thatch??

[ihasastrawhat.livejournal.com]

[Just lots of gurgling on Luffy's end. Drowning's so tiring.]

[kitchen-smoke.livejournal.com]

[He turns his head to Marco]

...Not quite.

[Now he's gonna go over and give CPR to Luffy. Ew. Wish Chopper was still here...]

[fierybluebird]

[Rolls over and coughs up some swallowed water, at least he got less in him than Luffy, but oxygen is extra important for birds. And then slowly it's getting back to his brain.]

OH SHIT STRAW-HAT! [Panicking out and looking around to make sure they're not still drowning.]

[ihasastrawhat.livejournal.com]

[Few good thumps on the chest later and Luffy's springing back up and coughing up all that water he stupidly inhaled. He looks around.]

Eck--Sanji! [Huff huff.] D-did... didja get Marco too?

[kitchen-smoke.livejournal.com]

[Sanji is a little more concerned with his pocket. You made him get his cigarettes wet. Perfect.]

[fierybluebird]

Right here Luffy. [Coughs.] Thanks cook. [Runs a hand through wet pineapple hair, bouncing back up.] Ace... is going to kill me.

[ihasastrawhat.livejournal.com]

[Luffy just grins at Marco. They'll dry off, Sanji.] Okay, good. It was r-really windy up there! A-almost lost my hat!
