[And now for something completely different. Now that they're all back and settled, Marco has his phoenix half back and he missed it. Maybe a little too much. With the cold weather and snow he's too sleepy to be bothered running around like an anarchist. Nope, instead, there's a fiery blue phoenix curled up around a family of baby chocobo. And then the phoenix is just Marco, still covered in fiery blue sparkly flames and fiddling with the communicator seeing that it's already on.]

Mah... annoying thing. Well whatever, these little guys had their Mom eaten so uh... [Gee, how does a tough pirate guy explain that he's adopting a bunch of baby birds?] I'm keeping them warm until the snow's over, eh? Fuck it's cold. If anyone needs me, I'm out here. [And screw it, he's just switching back into phoenix to cuddle some birdies and make a haphazard nest in the straw.]

Yeah, I wouldn't want to either. It's probably a lot more fun flying when you're made for it.

[fierybluebird]

[Actually looks distant for a moment. It's been at least 2 whole weeks since he's been flying. Glorious flying.]

Aye. You have no idea mate. Flying is just... the ultimate freedom sometimes.

[ethericbit.livejournal.com]

I think I like just jumping around a bit better, haha. It's still cool though.

[ Hey did you know he can fly too? there's a spider in his brain that lets him do it. since when did spiders fly? who knows. ]

[fierybluebird]

If you ever get the opportunity, don't miss it, eh.

[Spiderman Spiderman, friendly neighborhood Spiderman...]

[ more like crazy neighborhood truant with a magic spider taking over his brain!! ]

No, I have! It is pretty sweet.

video.

[fierybluebird]

[That's so much cooler!]

Yeah really? Heh, I keep forgetting that isn't so rare here...

video.

[ethericbit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it seems like everyone around here does something. Guess the scientists don't like it though.

video.

[fierybluebird]

Why not? Oh, you mean the chips. Beats me. Maybe it's so that we all have a harder time killing each other.

video.

[ethericbit.livejournal.com]

Haha, you think we'd all get to that? [ He stops, like he's thinking. ] ...There's gotta be more to it than that.

video.

[fierybluebird]

You think so? People find enough ways to kill each other as it is, eh.

video.

[ethericbit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, exactly, haha. I bet they don't want us to try to get home! We're probably all tougher to take down with our powers, so they just take them away! [ See man he's got it all down. ]

video.

[fierybluebird]

They don't do a good job of keeping them away then.

video.

[ethericbit.livejournal.com]

...Well yeah, that's true. Hmm.

video.

[fierybluebird]

[Waves a hand.]

If their goal is to keep us subdued, they're quite bad at it. It doesn't seem to be the case to me.

video.

[ethericbit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess. [ Way to crush his theories there. ] There's gotta be something...

video.

[fierybluebird]

[He's just kind of a jerk like that. So much.]

Most likely, eh.

video.

[ethericbit.livejournal.com]

[ Don't worry he's pretty jerk too. ] ...So what do you think?

video.

[fierybluebird]

Eh, experimentation maybe? That or it's not the scientists who bring people here, the world pulls us in and the scientists are just opportunist.

Tough call.

In the end, I don't really care, so long as my little brother's safe and happy.

video.

[ethericbit.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. It'd make more sense to me if they brought us here, but...yeah, I guess it could work either way.

You wouldn't care about getting your brother home? I mean, if I had one here I'd probably want him somewhere safer. [ scritch scratch his cheek ]

video.

[fierybluebird]

He can't go back home.

video.

[ethericbit.livejournal.com]

Well he can't just can't! Why?

video.

[fierybluebird]

He's dead.

He's alive here, but this is his home now.

video.

[ethericbit.livejournal.com]

[ there's a pause. He doesn't look shocked, rather...somewhat interested. His eyebrows are raised. ] ...So they'll even raise the dead to get the people they want...hahaha.

It's always people who can do weird stuff like us who get sent here, right? [ It's not a question as much as a statement. ]

video.

[fierybluebird]

Nope, they take people without powers and just little kids who can't do much, eh.

Like I said, it seems more likely to me that something does it at random.

video.

[ethericbit.livejournal.com]

[ aww man dude stop crushing his theories ] Well, there's enough of us, right? They could've just picked all normal people, but there's people like us here. There's gotta be something to that.
