[Video] In which phoenixes pirates and countries alike go exploring

Did you know there's a bird of prey called a secretary bird for how ridiculous it looks? It's actually extremely dangerous though. Its legs are so powerful that rather than divebombing enemy like a falcon or eagle or strange bird pinky -- [Wait, what was that last one? Yeah screw your normal birds, One Piece has weird things as you might know from the rapahn.] -- Instead a secretary bird uses its wings for balance and kicks snakes to death. For fun since snakes are shitty prey. I always thought that was a pretty cool fighting style.

Speaking of birds of prey, can anyone tell me more about birds in their world? Or mythological ones? Phoenixes, dragons, rocs, thunderbirds, anything like that, eh?

We're about 2 days out of Discedo now, and I've decided to completely map out the lake for Kiku's map program, eh. There are plenty of explorers in my world, technically the first pirate king started out that way even. But I'm wondering about everyone else's explorers. Is the world you come from all explored? Who first ventured to those far unknown reaches? Come on, I'm sure at least some of you have that adventurer's blood in your veins, eh?

Oh, and everyone in Spero, don't forget Ace is captain!

...That is good, then.

[Uwah blush desu dokidoki or something...

And then he stumbles while walking

but totally doesn't fall over thank goodness. s-still holding hands]

[Grins and keeps him up, still walking on~]

[He's quiet for a little while... And then watching the sky. Hmm.]

...Ah, it seems I won't be able to host a festival after all. I will have to apologize to Cube-san... Once he returns to normal.

Festival?

Yes, in my home, there is a festival called Obon. It is more commonly held in July, but it can be held in August as well...

However, with the timing of this trip, and the way everyone is separated, I do not think it's possible to put anything together. ...I do not have a taiko drum, either... [taiko drum is essential okok]

Taiko drum? Ah, what else does the festival have?

It is a Japanese drum.

Ah, well, first of all, it is important to know that the festival honors, respects and appreciates ancestors and their sacrifices. The spirits of the dead are remembered.

There is a Bon Dance, and fireworks, and at the end, paper lanterns are illuminated and sent down a river.

Maybe there's a way to do that over the comms?

[To be honest he's actually worried that he won't be very healthy around the time of it. ...But that'd be lame to say.]

Ah, perhaps... But I am not sure who would be interested, anyway.

You could ask Ace for help with the lanterns. You know he'd be happy to.

[A small smile, you pirates are so nice uguu]

The dance is a bit lonely without a large amount of people.

I'll dance with you.

[gkfdgfd way to embarrass him out of nowhere]

Ah-- that... Ah, well, it is a... Unique dance. But if Marco was interested in learning it, perhaps I could teach him some time.

I would be honored, eh?

[HE LOVES TEACHING THIS FUCKING DANCE.]

I will be sure to, then.

Can't wait.

[He just wants it as an excuse to dance with Japan, shhhh.]

[He just smiles and keeps walking. It's only just now that he's forgotten they're holding hands... Also it should be noted that I will continue this thread on into eternity unless you stop me so hopefully that is acceptable. ...If not then stop me LOL.

MOVING ON... He's silent for now yes, and actually happy. I swear Marco's the one person who makes him like... happy... gjfdksljgfksdlgjfd gay]

[Continuing is fine, and yes they are ridiculously gay.]

Hey so what do you think of Tatsumi and America?

[Two explanations on this. 1) He's still thinking over the part of the festival about honoring dead spirits and his last talk with Tatsumi was about his Pops coming to Discedo or not. 2) He's thinking about not!humans and their relationships with countries in a not purely platonic sense. Just to clarify. Also, he ships them. Like how he ships everyone in Discedo.]

[Looking curious at that.]

...Ah? ...They seem perfect for each other, don't they? [A pause, and he frowns.] That is, if I did not think Tatsumi-san was hiding far too much.

Aye, but perhaps America knows he's hiding it and doesn't care.

You are overestimating America-san.

[BLUNT.]

It's been seven months. One incident alone wouldn't be the only thing to tip him off. Maybe he just doesn't want to see it.

And if Tatsumi keeps pretending to be loyal, it has the same effect. It's not like he'd gain anything from backstabbing him, eh?

[He eyes Marco for a long time, and then sighs.]

I suppose with Sunako-san gone, there is less of a chance... Still, Marco was not there when I drew pictures with Tatsumi-san. [A blink]

If it is normal for lovers to draw one another being killed, then I am surprised by this news. ...Tatsumi-san is a citizen as well. I simply worry... [Wait... worry about America? No he didn't want to...

...]

But perhaps they could work out.

[Starts to lean an arm on Japan's hand, but this doesn't work as well walking, plus they're still hold hands, so he gives him a quick one-armed hug.]

It's not normal, but neither are werepires nor America. Their sex is certainly violent and killing America would be... difficult at best. Probably impossible, wouldn't you say?

I-I do not want to hear that sort of detail...! [BLUSHING BRIGHT RED...]

...

No, I believe they fit quite well in this way. America-san is quite strong as well. Tatsumi-san was able to pick him up... I was startled... America-san's physical strength is stronger than any other country I have met, and Tatsumi-san can match that.

I am not sure how long Tatsumi-san lives, but America-san seems to handle parting in that way quite well... It is surprising.
