fierybluebird | 11 - AU!Disc [Audio] In which pineapples are plentiful

Has anyone seen my Ace of Spades?

Linda apparently can't find it. She's good at finding other stuff though, but not Rika's crystals. Which is a shame, I was going to hang them up in the windows. Might liven up all the black. [In the background there's the sound of a woman tsking him and reminding him that he gets to decorate the office, not the apartment, so he should suck up and deal because black is the in-thing.]

Yeah, right, anyway. Got in touch with the Sandwich Factory --
[At this, the transmission is interrupted for a loud THWACK! as something loud was thrown and cracked near the communicator.] NOT YOU LINDA. GOD! PUT THE HEELS DOWN! You're worse than Pops' nurses!

[And a loud woman's voice.] WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?

[And anyone who knows Marco might recognized this silence as Marco's usual deadpan thinking up the right thing to say.] Love you baby? [WELL, apparently that worked because the woman devolves into a bunch of coos and purrs.] Right, I'm just going to take that heel now... before you break things. Haha. Wait. What is that on the plate?

Spam on toast with pineapple! It's your favorite!

That's inedible.

[And that would be the sound of Marco getting slapped and the voice wandering away yelling he can get his own damn food then.]

Right. Okay. Yeah. So uh. I guess anyone who finds this not an ordinary day and has lots of missing stuff, check in. Maybe we can find it together with a giant lost and found or something. Thanks.

I don't know what a gunblade is.

[Tuns the weapon around his hands. It's a good thing he never tuned Izou out.] Is it loaded?

Think we could get enough of these for the trolls and anyone else in there with them?

It's like a sword, but different. You'll know when you see one.

[Because it will probs be shooting at Marco. But Seifer's not counting his luck here. Gunblades seem to be a thing of his world for the most part.]

The safety's on. I ain't gettin' guns for anyone who doesn't know how to use'em, it'll only do more harm than good. See if you can't get Karkat'n ask him what weapons the trolls use.

Anything else?

So basically a sword that works like how Benn has a giant club that actually is a rifle, even if he prefers to smack people with it. Got it.

I'll ask.

If we're breaking out the trolls we're going to need more than what you can get by killing the random police here or there. Not to mention, you're going to draw a ton of attention like that. Marines don't like it when you flaunt defying them.

[That. Makes him look really disgruntled.]

I haven't killed anyone.

[Seriously after Japan accusing him of being reckless that's the last thing he wants to hear.]

Anya's with me. We'll work somethin' out. If we can't find a military depot one of the precincts around here ain't that bad.

[...Ah pause and then he sighs. He's not sure Marco will know what that is since his only involvement with military seems to be Marines and whatever the World Government is.]

Police headquarters. Between the two of us I think we can take one. If you've got somethin' else in mind though now'd be a good time to say it.

Whatever. [Marco doesn't actually have a problem with killing random police. This is Marco here.]

Wait until I get Ace to take on the police? I will always approve of dicking with them, but even without his devil fruit, Freckles is something of a genius at arson and mayhem, and I'm sure he'll want to hit them up too.

You planning to just go straight from the precinct to breaking loose the trolls? [Marco knows what police are. They're just the localized versions of law enforcement country to country and thus even less equipped at dealing with pirates.]

[Seifer is trying not to kill people, it's not working out very well... Also if he's frowning it's because he hates having to explain himself, this is why he and Ace have problems. He is just going to, take a seat. This looks like it's going to be a while.]

Marco, how much you trust this world?

None. It could be a memory, seeing as the crystals were showing Discedo's past. it claims it's Discedo, but... look around. It's nothing like it.

But asking me to trust anything that just takes me from my family is an impossibility.

You think this world's gonna be here tomorrow?

[A frown.] Maybe.

It seems a little like we've taken the place of people who were already here. Marco Newgate and his Pineapple Landscaping... but then where did they go? Think they're back in our Discedo?

No. [He's noticed a lot of things. Pieces that don't fit together. It's hard to believe he's one of a minority of blonds and Anya's the only pink-haired creature left in existence. The original Discedo never had any mention of non-humans. Accido... Dissimulo... Suffice to say Seifer read the news pretty damn thoroughly before going out and about.]

I don't think this is real. This is somethin' to do with Rika. I don't know what it is, but it can't possibly last. If you're countin' on this place to be around tomorrow Marco, I wouldn't. All of this could stop existing at any moment.

[He definitely does not want to go there again hurrrr definitely not.]

If you have Ace by the time Anya'n me are ready to move we'll take him, but I ain't waiting up on anything. We'll get the trolls the moment we can find'em, but I don't think time's on our side here. The sooner I can find us an exit outta this place the safer we'll all be.

Rika wouldn't want to cause something like this.

[Eyes narrow. By stop existing, he thinks it's like a dream. They'll just wake up.] What happens if time runs out?

All right, if I can't find Ace in time, I'll help you alone. I'm Marco, first division commander. I can act solo, I just like having my brothers in on the fun.

Just cause she wouldn't doesn't mean she didn't. Things happen in Discedo.

[Like being irresponsible and getting your chip out outside of the safehouse :T But okay as long as they are clear that this is SRS BSNS he stands back up]

I dunno what happens, but I don't want to be around to find out. Find as many people as you can, I'll check the hospitals'n some other places. See what I can pick up. I'll call you before Anya'n me make any moves.

[THERE IS A PAUSE and then:]

For all you're a real pain I trust you Marco.

[So don't make him regret it. He just waves and heads for the door. Time to get to work.]

If everything's going to hell, I'm not leaving without Ace Seifer. Whether that means going down with him or not.

[On the one hand, while he didn't blame himself for Ace's death, he couldn't forgive himself either.]

Just so you know. [Small sigh.] The three of us and anyone else you trust should keep lists of who we find and check in on, eh. In my experience... these things tend to all explode close to each other.

I trust everyone. [For all you are a bunch of lying liar pants he has to constantly pull the truth out of.] Nobody's gettin' left behind. You take your time they just get to miss out on all the fun parts.

[He crosses his arms, though he's not turning around.]

You really are as bad as Ace. Commander Nakama.

[OKAY HE IS DONE PICKING ON MARCO he will leave. ...But expect the name later sob.]

[Marco is definitely a giant lying liar pants. The problem is just that he says tiny lies, big wtf truths, and always deadpan so you can never tell.... He's also REALLY fucking glad right now that Seifer isn't looking at him because between being called as loyal as Ace (no higher honor ever) and that nickname, he's blushing worse than when Ace surprised him while making cookies.]

I'll take that as a compliment. [Just manages to say it in an even tone, but it's way more demur than normal.] I'll let you know what I find, eh.
