Hey, couldn't get to the comm right away, probably out kicking things. Since that doesn't last long, leave me a message and I'll get back to you as fast as I can, eh?

Have a haiku.

There was a bluebird
Who was too busy for you
Leave me a message

Does Marco recall how we had identities in that other Discedo? Ah... I am simply wondering if it is like that.

If there is a world where Japan is female... Another version of Earth... Then perhaps there is another version of this planet, as well.

Sweden thought that.

Tch... then what does it matter-- [Grits his teeth momentarily. Seifer kept trying to get him to care about more than direct things, but since even just the direct was hard for him, expanding it all the way to everything ever still seemed an impossible task.]

[His blue eyes light up with inner flames and he swallows back the rage and irritation at all of it. What did it matter? Another world, fake, real, come what may, it wasn't like it being real meant they could fix it. At least so long as it was just illusions and stupid pointless shit he could keep trying to keep everyone's spirits up. What could he say if it was "real" though? "Don't be afraid, it's just another version of this world where your friends wound up like we did, except they're even more screwed than us, oh yeah, and all died even more horrifically than we well." Not so much.

Still. He cares about Japan. And what Japan thinks and has to say about it. And that gives him a stepping stone. However small.]

Go on.

[He frowns. He doesn't like the idea of it at all, but multiple universes seems to be a commonly accepted thing here. And so...]

It would explain many things... For there to be another version of this world. [He looks extremely worried now, but tries to cover it with just focused frowning.]

...I saw Taiwan-san's image... Speaking as if she lived in that other world. As if she had for... quite some time. Saying things I could not...-- [A pause.]

It is either that someone knows our minds quite well, to the point of creating such illusions even if we did not think of those lines ourselves... Or it is real. That is what I feel.

[Pinches the bridge between his eyes.]

Chips. What do you think the point is for them other than just blocking abilities? Why do you think it protects against the word fish? That glitch you mentioned. The only thing like it I've seen is the word fish.

We don't know how long it takes between us arriving here in this world and then waking up with a chip, right? And to just get sent back to exactly right time frames takes quite a bit of knowing about us. I think knowing us inside out seems a lot more likely.

Ahh... [He's seriously not sure what to think about this all. But chips... They stored data on them or something? Maybe...]

There are so many possibilities... It is a bit exhausting to think about it.

October 3rd; action

[fierybluebird]

So don't. It won't get us anywhere even if we know the answer, eh. [About the real vs. alternate world and so forth.]

Maybe you can analyze the next one Cube removes from someone. [Chips he means.]

[He's quiet. Marco has a point after all, maybe he shouldn't worry about it right now... But about the other part.]

The chip? ...Ah, I wonder... I am quite good with technology, but I am not so advanced yet. I do not even fully understand Gakupo-san... Or the communicators, though I try my best. Sometimes when I attempt to learn with the communicators, I get shocked. I wonder if the chips have anything dangerous if I choose to look at them...

[INSTANTLY WORRIED FACE.]

Ah... I don't want you to hurt yourself. Maybe you could collaborate with Sakura-chan and Brother-in-Law? He seems bored and she'd probably be invited to be thought of?

[Because obviously the way to prevent damage is to spread around the pain Marco. :| So smart.]

[FROWN]

I would not wish for them to be harmed in the process... [Sighs] I will think about that sort of thing later. Washu-san had asked about such a thing, as well...

[...He has surprisingly not noticed any Washu drama.]

October 3rd; action

[fierybluebird]

[Hesitant.] All right. I still need to drag the whole story out of Ace about --

Actually, were you here for that?

October 3rd; action

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

. . . For what?

October 3rd; action

[fierybluebird]

Ace told me not to trust her. And I mean... more than how he doesn't trust Eridan. I guess he and Washu have some history here?

October 3rd; action

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

...Is that so? I must admit I have not heard of this, or if I have I do not recall...

I knew Washu-san the last time she was here. Not too well, but...

October 3rd; action

[fierybluebird]

I see... [Strokes his chin in thought.] From the way he was acting it must be something really bad or really embarrassing.

October 3rd; action

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

Ace warned Marco and not me? [LMFAO Japan stop being insulted, that is not the point here.]

...I suppose that is not good. I will make note of that.

October 3rd; action

[fierybluebird]

Well, at the time I was offering to help her. And it was before I got back to Spero so he seemed pretty worried I was could fall prey, eh.

October 3rd; action

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

Prey? Hm...

October 3rd; action

[fierybluebird]

Susceptible? Whatever?

October 3rd; action

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

It is good to know. [He will make note of this and watch out for her too. ...Yes he's still insulted Ace never told him LOL gkldfjgkfd

DRINKS TEA]

[fierybluebird]

Are you okay? [He knows something is wrong, but what is beyond him.]

October 3rd; action

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[He looks at Marco and then lowers his cup slowly. Well, there are some things, like this, where it obviously bothers him but not to any huge extent... Still he'd like it to be known. But it's not something he'll admit bluntly for the most part.

So his answer...]

I have spoken to Washu-san plenty of times, all since Ace knew me. When Ace was still Ace-kun, and I did not trust him but for some reason I could not find out he would continue speaking to me... [Trails off. This translates as WHY DIDN'T HE MENTION IT EVER gjfksdlgjfkd lmfao Japan so butthurt]

October 3rd; action

[fierybluebird]

[Ruffles his head, just so damn amused.] Hah... it's nice to see I am not the only one who gets jealous. [Over stupid things is implied.]

Did she ever do anything creepy to you?

October 3rd; action

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[Wow a small pout at his jealousy being called out, but that's okay. He thinks about that though...]

Creepy...? I do not think so. She has always been quite interested in my being Japan, however, and I agreed to discuss it with her further when we had the chance to meet in person.

October 3rd; action

[fierybluebird]

Huh. Maybe he didn't know? Or he just thinks you can take care of yourself better than me and Luffy.
