[Video]

[Marco appears to have nodded off on his communicator despite efforts to stay awake. It doesn't take long for him to completely jerk out of it, and seemingly out of nowhere kick a table into the wall, smashing it into firewood, and coursing blue flames down an arm.]

I'll get to it when I can! [Growling at no one, good for your insanity. But after a few blinks it comes back to him where he is and he shakes his head, expression as deadpan as ever as he puts on the flames and goes to turn on the communicator, only to find it already recording.]

I kind of broke the table. Sorry. I'll replace it or something. [Drags a palm down his face trying to figure out "what now."]

Hey Discedo, what would you say defines who you are? Who or what you choose to be? Your obligations, or to you is it just a birthright? Just curious.

[And with that he's slowly sneaking back over to the couch with his Pops' giant coat and curling up under it while he figures out how to turn off the video again.]

[Shakes his head a little.]

It's... just a nightmare. And I'm not used to getting them, eh. It'll pass, I'm sure.

Tch. Good luck getting used to something like that.

...so what's with that question? You got a reason for asking?

[fierybluebird]

Not like I've got much choice.

[To distract you all with deep personal observations so that no one focuses on the "why did Marco beat up the table? What did it do to him?"]

Been thinking a lot about it lately.

[prodigal-axe.livejournal.com]

Yeah...I get that.

[Shrugging. He doesn't usually answer this kind of question post, but he was trying to get off the nightmare subject.]

The way I see it, you gotta do what you gotta do. Even if you decide it's because of who you're born, that's still your decision.

What's your take on it?

[fierybluebird]

Close to the same. In my life at least, I've had a lot more ability to make decisions, and I've seen a lot of people only let their decisions define themselves.

It's kind of admirable really.

[prodigal-axe.livejournal.com]

Decisions define themselves, huh... in what way?

[fierybluebird]

They charge through anything in their way, no matter what, and never take no for an answer. It's almost like watching a storm in progress, eh. If someone tries to tell what they are, they don't care anymore than the sky cares that someone calls it blue.

[prodigal-axe.livejournal.com]

... That reminds me of someone I know. Back where I come from, I mean.

[fierybluebird]

Oh?

[prodigal-axe.livejournal.com]

Smashin' through whatever, stubborn as hell.

[Not that he's much different himself.]

[fierybluebird]

Sounds about right.
