[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!

[I don't have an icon that properly conveys the emotionally loaded gaze Japan is giving Marco right now. This is so hideously gay there should be a warning label.

He's quiet for a long time, and then nods.]

I see... I understand. [And then a blink, and a reference back to the first thing he said.] Ah, and... thank you.

[Nods his head.] I'll be by your side no matter what path is chosen, eh.

...

[Japan stops walking, though he's still holding Marco's hand.

By his side no matter what path is chosen...

Also he's looking at Marco. Uh. His expression is probably unreadable. Nearly straight, but there's something different about it...]

[Stops when Japan does and glances back at him.]

Did I say something wrong?

[At that, he just moves and wraps his arms around Marco's waist in a hug. ...A really childish hug, wow he's even like staring at the ground in embarrassment.]

...No.

[Has a VERY quick blush, but he quickly recovers.]

Oh. [Hugs Japan back as best he can like this and laughs softly.]

So long as you've got faith in me, eh? I'm move mountains if you ask me to. [Ruffles Japan's hair and holds him close a little more.]

[presses face into-- o-oh you don't wear shirts this is suddenly twenty times more embarrassing... DEEP BREATHE.]

Ah... Thank you. [but calm exhale okay he will not explode in embarrassment... yet]

...Forgive me, that was a bit... [sudden. he'll pull away from the hug now.]

[He has a shirt! It's just not buttoned :|]

No regrets.

[For once, Marco will refrain from making it worse by doing something big and dramatic.] So don't apologize for things that make me happy. You don't need my forgiveness, and I don't want to give it. [Sticks his tongue out. This is also a sign he might be being perverted.]

...

[WATCHING... and then m-moving to walk again. Maybe tugging Marco along, totally normal.]

Hah... Soon I may be blunt like Marco...

I'm not sure if I'd mind seeing that. [Walks along swinging the hand cheerfully.] Would it be cute?

[oh god marco what are you doing don't push him...]

...What would Marco define as cute?

[Pfft. He'll revert to his bratty stage or something.]

You're always cute. [Hums softly to himself watching Japan from behind.]

I-is that so...

[When you plant an idea in Japan's mind he feels the need to test it. So he's totally bright red right now so there's hesitation, but then he stops and turns and gives Marco a kiss...

It's the quickest kiss ever and he's turning and walking again though...]

[Frozen for a bit. Kind of for a long time actually. A LONG TIME. And completely frozen, so no walking forward, Japan will either have to let go or stay stuck.]

[Eventually he startles himself out of it and starts walking forward with no indication that anything happened except a small smile.]

Yes, that was cute.

[Tried to move forward... Realized Marco wasn't... and just stops. ...Eventually turns to stare.

And then embarrassed again yup]

...What strange tastes...

Eh??

Ah... Aye... Probably.

[That sort of weird reaction oddly calms Japan down a bit.]

...I am not sure if you should agree when someone says something like that. Ah, but in any case... I do not want to stop just yet, but perhaps we could do so a bit early. I need to add many things to my program.

Oh? Oh well.

[Nods.] Stopping is probably for the best. Rain coming, remember? The sooner I can build you a make shift tent the better I'll feel.

[and calm is shifting back into worry because when is japan not worried]

Ah... That is fine, then.

...Is something on Marco's mind?

Nah, nothing in particular, eh?

[He's pretty cheerful. Little worried about acid rain is all.]

[Japan: always worrying over nothing]

Ah, very well. [glancing around idk for a good place to stop or something I have no idea what the land is like here...]

[Marco gets it, being a bit fussy like that himself. And it's forest according to the world map, so he'll be making a tent and letting Japan make a campfire if he feels like it.]

[Oh awesome. Okay Japan, as a TRUE BOYSCOUT... I mean true Japanese man, will make the campfire. He's actually good at these things so no derp for once. A tag with no derp what is wrong with this picture.

He'll just sit down on his knees and glance over to Marco. While totally looking at Marco's post replies on his own communicator, yup blatantly stalking.]
