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
[ooc: This post is a catch-all for threads that have to happen between posts. Start off with the Date & whether it's text/video in the comment bar and leave the IC message below.]

[Sorry Japan, he's never seen you do that before.]

but he realizes that answer can't be enough so time to babble]
It is similar to that feeling of staring at nothing, and doing so for so long that you forget you are still quite awake. So you must make sure of it with a sudden action...! [what.]

Does this happen often to you? [STARE.]
July 21st; video
It does not.

[Little worried here buddy.]

[note to self, resist the urge to smack self out of daydreams in front of marco ever again]
I was lost in thought...

[Arches eyebrow so amused.]

Ah, how troubling... It seems in my attempt to ignore such thoughts, they were only brought out. I assure you they are nothing worth hearing.
Rather than speaking about that, how is Ace-kun? [changing the topic so obviously HE DOESN'T CARE]
July 21st; video
He's okay. I mean I left already, so I'm a little nervous, but jeez he was here a year and a half before I came. And he's traveled alone on the Grand Line...
[Good job Japan, now he's depressed, and trying to hide it.]
July 21st; video
Ah, I am certain he is fine. I simply wondered if there was anything interesting in the way of news...
July 21st; video
I hope so.
Shit. He gets...
When he's happy, he's the life of the party, hangs out with everyone he can find and he's all smiles. But when he's depressed, he gets like me, only before I had Thatch in my life. Just sort of shuts out the world, sleeps more, and I feel like I can't get through to him like I used to. I used to think I didn't need to be Luffy to do that... now I'm not sure.

I used to worry when I could not assist a close friend. ...It is still a new thing to me. I wished to help, and yet, I could not-- this sort of thing occurs. ...Perhaps... quite often in my case... [oh he sounds so sad...]
But Marco has been better for Ace-kun than anyone here. Perhaps his bond is different than Ace-kun and Luffy-kun's, but it is equally important. There are things Ace-kun must sort out on his own, still, as well.
[It's like a combination of reassuring Marco and himself.]
Re: July 21st; video
Yeah... [Actually cheers up from Japan's words.] That's how Ace is, isn't it? He has to work things out of himself before he'll believe anything, even when it's something that someone could help with. He'll be all right, he's a smart kid.
You help him plenty Japan. I was a little jealous when I first got here. I thought he'd found a way to replace me and the others.
July 21st; video
... Do you think so? Ah, but Ace-kun could never replace Marco. I am sure of that.
July 21st; video
[Long pause of silence and Marco glances away.] Thank you... I suppose not, Whitebeard will always be his father. [There's a very dark growl at that, and then he just sighs.] But I couldn't save him either, so what right do I have to ask so much.
[Guh just... so depressed and leaning against the tree.]
July 21st; video
[He frowns. What can he say? It was meant to be like this? That's insensitive. He pauses instead.]
No regrets. ...Wasn't that it?
July 21st; video
Yeah, that's the one. Thanks Japan.
No regrets.
July 21st; video
[he makes a heart with his hands. gosh, doing this... but glancing away.]
I am not usually so blunt, but I would like to be there to help Marco as much as Ace-kun. So remember this, and please do not get upset in the future and hide. Ah... I do not usually go searching, you see...
[...but he hesitates just slightly, gets shy, and hangs up there LMFAO]
